So I was learning this song today and saw your comment. I think it goes even deeper than what you're saying. Even a simple sounding song like this isn't simple. The words don't match up with the piano hits, it's syncopated. Which means it takes twisting your brain a little bit to figure it out. Not only is it beautiful, but it's kind of hard to play and sing this at the same time, and I didn't even notice until I tried. He's a genius.
Exactly.. I play the Jonny parts in my radio cover band and it is amazing how `simple' the songs sound but how well they are composed. I always played classical music but playing Radiohead is so much fun.. for me it is classical music but in a modern jacket.
@@porouscrump when we write songs this comes automatically. it is way more difficult to learn some one elses song than it is to write your own. I find this aspect of music funny. I've done both - learned complex stuff like Bach and written my own stuff as well as played variations on a Bach theme ...
I completely agree, in comparison with “Like Spinning Plates” the live version is much better and more clear. I love the electronic touch but the album version is a bit too electronic.
Man I love this song.. It hurts me as a musician to see such a brilliant song be composed of six chords.. I especially love how Thom threw in a small chunk of the There There chord progession. If you listen closely you can sing "Why so green and lonely" from There There over top of the second part of the song. I think it's brilliant
took me 15 years to see this comment and now I can't ever hear this song the same again. Thank you. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I was wrong. The beauty of Thom and Radiohead...listen to a song a million times and on the millionth and one time discover something new.
thom is such a fool. He does the greatest live performance of one of the best songs ever written and all he says at the end of it is a mundane "that was good". Such a gross understatement.
@@etherealbonds Objectively, it probably isn't (if there even is an objective way to measure it). But it's still one of *my* favourite songs of all time. So y'know, you can fuck off.
apart from being an amazing song...what i love is the fact even though its a solo thom song, radiohead band mates still play it with him. true friends...true music...truly fucking awesome
This proves how they do this for the love of art and not for the love of money, considering how much they have played together, some would get tired of their band mates. They are a true band, no faking anything. Pure friendship and trusting each other for as you said, his solo work.
Thom is like Elvis, Mozart, Freddie Mercury, And Kermit the frog all rolled into one but then again there's no-one else like him and you can tell he genuinely has affection for everyday people. I wanna be like that.
Can we talk about how insane this rhythm is for a second? I mean seriously... I'm trying to learn this song for 3 days straight on my piano and I'm nowhere near to figure out that rhythm with those sick chord changes! And this guy is singing to it like it's nobody's business... Seriously guys. Slow this down to 0.5 and try to listen to it. Even they fucked it up at the beginning.. I have to play it at 60bpm and still fucking it up every chord change.... unbelievable! Unfreaking believable!! Greatest fu*king musician that ever walked this earth. Period!
@@messybuttons7525Time signature has nothing to do with rhythm. Thom isn't playing a single chord on a standard down beat (I don't think). Playing this is way trickier than they make it seem.
Try to save But it doesn’t come off the rug Try to build a wall that is high enough It’s all boiling over All boiling over Try to save your house Try to save your songs Try to run But it follows you up the hill It’s all boiling over All boiling over Your loved ones Your loved ones A normal conversation A normal conversation You should have took me out While you had the chance You should have took me out While you had the chance All the rooms renumbered And the losers turned away Don’t turn away Don’t turn away There were ten in the bed And the little one said ‘Roll over’
@Pelle Koopman this song was a radiohead song but they never made things together anc completed it but thom took this song and turned into something different but amazing!
conrad1on I still do, too! I've never seen them live ever and like you said...chances are getting slimmer every year. Without youtube, I'd be completely screwed :P
The actual fuck!? I've been a Radiohead devotee since the mid 90s. I've been to see them 15 times- they are my favourite band and mean more to me than any other. How did I miss this!? Did I watch it in period? I can't remember. You forget a lot when you get old. It feels new now.
I've been searching for that keyboard that Jonny is playing for ages, and I have finally discovered it's called the Ondes Martenot. It was invented in 1928 and was one of the earliest electronic instruments ever built. And it's awesome. I want one.
@@leehiro4840 I bet he does. A good one isn't cheap. It's used in a ton of stuff from Olivier Messiaen's music to the original star trek series music. Beautiful sounds...
Sadly I do not, though I still would like one… funny to be brought back to a comment I made over a decade ago to be reminded of something I was interested in back then that I still happen to be interested in!
Harried, haunting and most importantly hopeful. A serenade of the scars and soul a lot of we subjects seem to subsist of. Still listening after so many seasons.
My fav' off THE ERASER (wonderful album, btw), and this version wins it in my heart : even better than the album one IMHO. THANXXXX A LOT, THOM (+ Jonny and Nigel) !
This is the first time I've seen Nigel playing live with them! I know he usually does behind the scenes work but I was actually surprised when it was him and not someone else like Colin :)
I know this song for 15 years now, but only today I noticed that the ending part is pretty much same melodically as the ending of "There There", just higher
I envision Thom Yorke dying of a heart attack one day, on stage, having just completed one of the greatest live performances in music history. Gives everything, this man.
+Ido Eisenberg Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead is 50% . It is one that transfers the Thom genius in music. Jonny Greenwood , the other guys in Radiohead !!
Ar die Yep. Ppl might not care about this, but it's a weird few decades, cause it's the new millenium(it would be the same if it was just a new century), and so we don't really have a name for the decades, (the 00's?), people try to avoid saying it...and they seem scared to say 10's...I havent heard anyone use it yet...but 20's, 30's, 90's, no problem....so it's like we're floating through time right now, you used to have a clear cut decade...like a box. Now it's more like, 1997 to 2015 is basically the same decade. 15 years go by like it's just 7....
Fun Guy agreed, also how is Creep still their most popular song. Even if we’re talking Pablo Honey, Blowout is much better. But yeah, Radiohead is the best.
Yup. And in fact, ALL of his work is brilliant. Plus the man has some very interesting ideas/positions about the world we live in. Definitely a man to treasure... and not only the artist : ALL of him !
I like this way more than the album version. Always thought it had some real potential but was missing something, and this version seems to satisfy that❤
sometimes i regret being born in 2005 and finding out about their music only now because i've missed.. everything.. but i still very thankful to this universe that i can listen to them and i know them. they have changed my life a lot

I love how Nigel just causally walks in and lays down some phat beats
Great timing Nigel, it was slick...
Exaaaaacly 😄
so funny
The beats are already playing. All Nigel did was turn the volume up so we could hear them.
something I love about Thom is how ordinary he seems to be, then all of the sudden the music starts and he blooms like a flower.

Like the ocean 😌
Dare I say this is BETTER than the album version?
Will you can hear Thom and the piano better in this version.
It's a lot quieter. Definitely a different vibe to this version.
Agreed
This is more "rock-ish", album version is IDM stuff.

Wait - there’s a guy under there?!
YOU LITTERALY HAVE ATLEAST A COMMENT UNDER EVERY RADIOHEAD VIDEO
best singer of the 21st century

Well it is a broad statement he is good but not the best Jeff Buckley can sing pretty good too so 🤷🏻♂️
@@cem5470 Jeff Buckly wasn't 21st century, he died in 97.
cem serdar Jeff Buckley influenced Thom and Matt Bellamy , I would give it Thom tho not for pitch perfect but for the pure character of his voice
I like him so much but the best...no at all.
thom is such a fool. He does the greatest live performance of one of the best songs ever written and all he says at the end of it is a mundane "that was good". Such a gross understatement.
It’s not one of the best signs every written. Take it easy
Good, is ecstatic in world of Yorke. If all was declared great, creativity would be swamped in self congratulation.
You didn't listen to much music if you consider this "one of the best songs ever written".. Holy shit those Radiohead fanboys are something else. 😂
@@etherealbonds Objectively, it probably isn't (if there even is an objective way to measure it). But it's still one of *my* favourite songs of all time. So y'know, you can fuck off.
This the first time you've ever heard Thom? He says this after every performance.

One of Thom's best songs without a doubt
How does he constantly make everything sound so fleeting and hauntingly beautiful?
Back in 2020 just to taste the masterpiece, again, again and again
Man... Such a talented band.. I'm in love with everything they create :)
@Pelle Koopman this song was a radiohead song but they never made things together anc completed it but thom took this song and turned into something different but amazing!
Like in a lot of Yorke's music, there's a tender beauty and an uneasy tension at the same time. It's great.
I just love Jonny Greenwood's stance. Haha. He's always so focused on his music.
"......Try to run, but it follows you up a hiiiiilllllll...." That part and his vocals always gives me chills.
Who's still coming back to this gem in 2019? ... the week of Thoms new solo album release ... its gonna be a glorious day.
Shit, even this is 10 years old now. Stupid march of time.
+conrad1on Ik, damnit!...I hate time and especially that I can't go back in it...to see these guys back in the day!
I still want to see them now, but the chances of that are slim.

Me too, in so many ways.
music like this cannot be "old" !
Can't go wrong with Thom's voice with Jonny on ondes martenot
The actual fuck!? I've been a Radiohead devotee since the mid 90s. I've been to see them 15 times- they are my favourite band and mean more to me than any other. How did I miss this!? Did I watch it in period? I can't remember. You forget a lot when you get old. It feels new now.
Forever returning here.
This takes me to other dimensions.
I keep coming back
Eraser is my favourite album ever by anyone.
The things that these human beings can do... unbelievably amazing!!

I adore this song and this version is incredibly beautiful.
I'm listening to it on repeat tonight❤

This inspires me to make music
Been a fan for so many years and still blown away.. lucky to be around when this is.
This might be the best song I have ever heard.
What a way to interpret a song! Extraordinary!!!
The timing was good the first time but i guess good isn't enough for Mr. Yorke. What a legend!
I'll always be upset. I function......but I will always be upset and this song defines it.
This song is absolutely brilliant, gives me goosebumps every time i hear it!!!
This is the first time I've seen Nigel playing live with them! I know he usually does behind the scenes work but I was actually surprised when it was him and not someone else like Colin :)
