The song originated with a mistake on a sampler in Yorke's studio. He told Rolling Stone: \"I hadn't patched it in right.

It was July, I had just been on the road for a few months, and I had been living out of a suitcase since January.\n\n\"I had a few hours to spare wherever I was the day I wrote 'The Hole.' I yanked that one out of myself. It felt like people were thumping my back with their palms while I choked. This was me thumping on my own back to dislodge the song from wherever it lived inside me.\n\n\"At the time I wrote it I was in a deep, dark, ugly place with no escape in sight. I was running 5 miles a day in 100 degree weather, hoping I could sweat it out of myself.\n\n\"Sometimes I go dark, and in recent years it’s become more frequent. I don’t use my phone, I’m sitting on thousands of unanswered emails, and my social media sits dormant. When I do this my friends will typically check in on me to make sure I’m okay. I typically just tell them I’m in 'The Hole' and they get it.\n\n\"Same goes for the other way around. If my friends seemingly go missing, I’ll shoot them a text checking in and, if they’re having a hard time, I ask them if they’re in 'The Hole.' It’s an easy umbrella term for a psychological winter.\"\n\nFor more breakdowns of every song on this album, check out the following link: https://tinyurl.com/yc59p27h", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3552996, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3552996/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-14T15:18:49-07:00", "show": 64562, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64562/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia601907.us.archive.org/25/items/mbid-9ff627bf-337f-4249-a85d-01f77a8a893c/mbid-9ff627bf-337f-4249-a85d-01f77a8a893c-26532681359_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia601907.us.archive.org/25/items/mbid-9ff627bf-337f-4249-a85d-01f77a8a893c/mbid-9ff627bf-337f-4249-a85d-01f77a8a893c-26532681359_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Seattle", "track_id": "4921e2c8-7af9-406f-bf6f-c1e604324202", "recording_id": "1b42f1ab-bea8-448c-9646-a4f054f313c5", "artist": "Public Image Ltd.", "artist_ids": [ "68950696-ee9a-49b2-a8c2-d1d6c19355cc" ], "album": "Happy?", "release_id": "9ff627bf-337f-4249-a85d-01f77a8a893c", "release_group_id": "44b06162-9766-3c6e-8697-6845ac564f4a", "labels": [ "CEMA Special Markets", "Griffin Music" ], "label_ids": [ "25f5cdca-7ba8-4e64-bdfb-dbacd8891acc", "caa7d1f9-c37d-4550-a8d9-6fd78ed7047b" ], "release_date": "1985-01-01", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Released on this day in 1987!\n\nIn the mid-'80s, John Lydon was a man without a band. He still carried the moniker of Public Image Ltd. – the group he had formed once the Sex Pistols imploded – but had ditched all of the band’s other members due to control issues and drug addiction.\n\nAfter making 1986’s Album, a solo album in all but name, Lydon started to assemble a new band to fly the PiL flag.\n\nTo promote the metallic grooves of Album (and its single, “Rise”) on tour, the singer put together something of a post-punk supergroup.\n\nOn guitar were John McGeoch (Magazine and Siouxsie and the Banshees) and Lu Edmonds (the Damned and the Mekons) who also played keyboards. Bruce Smith, of the Pop Group and the Slits, sat behind the drum kit. American Allan Dias joined on bass. On the road, the quintet landed on PiL’s new sound -- still dance-oriented, but with a melodic bent and slightly less ragged feel. Lydon appeared pleased… at least as pleased as a man that was once known as Johnny Rotten can be. https://tinyurl.com/dju4vnjd\n\n“This is a complete enterprise between the lot of us. We are all equal,” Lydon told MTV Europe in 1987. “This is the permanent lineup of Public Image now, and will be for a long time…. It’s righteous.
