List of unreleased songs by Radiohead


The English alternative rock band Radiohead have performed and/or recorded numerous songs that have not been officially released. Live performances of many of the songs circulate as bootlegs. Asked in 2013 about the status of the unreleased songs, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich said: "Everything will surface one day... it all exists... and so [they] will eventually get there, I'm sure." He cited the song "Nude", released on Radiohead's 2007 album In Rainbows but written 12 years prior, as an example of a song that took several years to complete.

This is a list of known unreleased songs in chronological order.

Radiohead recorded "We Agree" in September 1995, and considered releasing it as a B-side for the "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" single. In an interview that year, guitarist Ed O'Brien stated that he felt the band had not "done it justice".

"Follow Me Around" made its first appearance in the 1998 documentary Meeting People Is Easy. According to Rolling Stone, it is one of singer Thom Yorke's "darkest songs, if only because he's admitting he knows what's coming, but has no other choice than to carry on," with lyrics about "shadowy figures lurking in corners".

Yorke debuted "Skirting on the Surface" in 2009 in a solo piano rendition while on tour with his other band Atoms for Peace. It was first performed by Radiohead in 2012, in an arrangement which Pitchfork described as a "bleak slow-groover". Variations on the title phrase have appeared on Radiohead's website since the OK Computer era.

Yorke debuted "I Froze Up" on Rhodes piano during a webcast performance in 2002. In 2010, he performed the song again at a solo concert in Cambridge, England, and two months later in Chicago while touring with Atoms for Peace. Rolling Stone described it as "sparse" and "haunting".

"Come To Your Senses" was played in June 2006 at a soundcheck but has not made an appearance since. According to Pitchfork, one version "may or may not have gone for nine minutes and include a Jonny Greenwood banjo solo."

Yorke mentioned "Slave" in a 2008 interview, and said he would send it to Godrich for mixing that night.
