An analysis of the elements that made Harry Styles's 'Kiss All The Time' one-night-only show in Manchester memorable, highlighting 7 standout moments.
that was eloquent, heartfelt, funny and charming.
“It’s always nerve-wracking stepping onto a stage, but to know that a man I’ve spent so much of my life listening to is now listening to me talk to you about him is a truly terrifying honor,” he said. Harry Styles Brings ‘Kiss All The Time’ Home With Manchester One Night Only Show: 7 Best MomentsStyles presented Yorke with a fellowship prize at the Ivors, which were held at the Grosvenor House in central London on Thursday .
, was released, a comment that drew laughter at the idea of a young man calling attention to the age difference.
“Just going to let that sink,” he said, drawing even more laughter. Styles also pointed out that he lost his virginity to Radiohead’s “Talk Show Host. ” He thought a moment and corrected himself.
“I lost my virginity to theOver his almost 35 years of releasing music, he has taken feelings of anxiety and alienation, and turned them into atmospheres, anthems and art. From guitars to glitches, he has time and time again shown us what the future sounds like. Never compromising, a restless creative, an artist in its truest form. There are no two songs that sound alike.
Some of you had Radiohead albums at the time they were released. Their debut album came out the year before I was born. Just gonna let that sink. So, I discovered their songs over time growing up inhaling the secondhand teenage angst from up the stairs separating my sister’s bedroom from where I sat below doing my homework.
Thank you to my uncle Michael for burning her numerous CDs to try to convince her of some of what he referred to as some of the weirdest stuffI lost my virginity to “Talk Show Host. ” I lost my virginity to the intro of “Talk Show Host. ” Thom’s work is music that is felt. It’s always been somewhat of a religious experience to me.
Religious in the sense that understanding seemed to go both ways. I always felt I could uniquely understand the writer of these songs, and at last someone was capturing what it feels like at times to be human. Thank God, someone would think that, I used to think. That alien, that prowling ghost, that angry prophet, Thom Yorke.
I cannot overstate how his work has influenced my belief in the purpose of the arts in our world today, and I cannot overstate how much his work continues to influence me. Without ‘Exit Music,’ there would be no “Watermelon Sugar. ” Imagine that. A world without that song .
Now, it’s always nerve-wracking stepping onto a stage, but to know that a man I’ve spent so much of my life listening to is now listening to me talk to you about him is a truly terrifying honor. The first time I met Thom, I was walking in the street in Rome. The previous evening at dinner, listening to The Smiles’ “Bending Hectic,” my friend had asked me if I’d ever met him, and I said that I hadn’t.
Maybe it was better that way. I’d always been worried that he might be mean to me and emotionally I would never recover. The next day, ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ playing in my headphones. I found myself alone with him on a quiet cobbled street.
“Hello, Mr. Yorke,” I said. “Oh, it’s you. Hello,” he replied. I was overwhelmed during our conversations.
Our time with giants is not to be squandered. The weight of the moments with the men who have made us is to be noticed. He was light, he was friendly and he was kind. In a world where outside noise tends to leak into our awareness without permission, among our resented desire to please, a small kindness extended to you by a hero can be enough to release you.
I beamed, and I’ve been beaming ever since. When asking Thom’s friends to describe him in three words, they said he was compassionate, sensitive, devoted, bold, unique, untouchable, challenging, true punk, Not For Sale, or as his wife shared me, holidays with synthesizer, To quote Thom, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Your mouth moves only with someone’s hand up your ass. Has the light cut out for you?
Because the light’s gone out for me. ” It is the 21st century. The message is clear. Commit to your humor and your heartbreak.
Only cowards meet our complicated, beautiful world with distance. It’s an honor to be here tonight to present Thom with this recognition of his enduring influence on British music. Radiohead is my favorite band. Thank you Thom forever.
