Quote by Thom Yorke

My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me, some others I have to send out, out to the war. It might sound stupid and it might even sound naive, but that's just the way it is.

My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me, some others

Summary

In this quote, the speaker metaphorically compares their songs to their children. They express a deep emotional connection to their songs, as if the songs are an extension of themselves. Just as a parent must sometimes let their children go out into the world, the speaker acknowledges the necessity of releasing their songs into the public sphere. Even if it may seem foolish or simplistic, the speaker believes that letting their songs be heard is an unavoidable part of being a songwriter.
