A subtle thing about Street Spirit is the speed is just SLIGHTLY slower than your ear wants it to be. It keeps feeling like it should speed up a tiny bit and never does, which forces this almost slow-motion beauty to the melody and timing. A beautiful song.

I would kill to be in the audience, to see thom singing, screaming his soul out... I would probably burst into tears because of the agony and beauty this song portrays, and the way thom sings it with so much pain. Their art is too good for this world.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Radiohead, my favorite album by them is The Bends, but Pink Floyd was a group of good musicians who worked together to make amazing music, while Radiohead is just the Thom Yorke band.
The Bends is still one of the best albums ever made, a triumph that would still top the charts if released today. I hope people don't forget about this album. It soars, it whispers, it cries, it takes you along with it and sweeps your emotions away into a vortex. Powerful stuff, even all these years later.
@Our Fantasy Life It seems to get downplayed these days relative to the rest of their output, but I'd wager that's more a result of guitars becoming passé than anything to do with the substance of the album (the band's subsequent self-conscious distancing from rock is also a likely contributor). For my money, The Bends is still easily Yorke's finest hour as a songwriter, and it's unfortunate to see the music culture wars claim it as collateral damage.
Brilliant. I think this is even better than the studio version... and that's saying something. Hard to believe it's very nearly 20 years now. God, how I miss music like this.
Thom was brave to keep singing this song at that time. He let it get to him. You can tell by the way the song tries to swallow him... I feel like this song is alive. He is the host, and It feeds on him. Almost like he is drowning in and being pulled under by the great emotional tide that is this song

i saw them live this month and burst out crying when the first notes were played to this song. i had no idea it would have that effect on me, though i was indeed looking forward to it.

gonzalo pardo-figueroa I wouldn't say Thom is an outstanding guitarist but hes great at making some tunes. This song is quite easy to play even for people who've never picked up a guitar before
Always preferred Radiohead's live performances to their studio recordings, it's probably because they put their heart into it more so than in the studio. This one for me is as good as it gets, to SEE Thom sing this live brings me out in goosebumps
Be a world child form a circle ⭕️ before we all go under , beautiful subtle message with desperation underlying entire song love it one of my favorite Radiohead songs,
thom is the most complete musician of all time....multi talented intrstrumet player .... the voice of a tortured angel... the rest of us might as well give up... awsome
Thom, when describing the audience reaction to this song, like your dog looking up at you and wagging it's tail, as you are on your way to have it put down. Gulp. I for one, shall surely fade out to this.
As Thom told by himself, he is kinda afraid of 'Fade Out' and from where this song has come to his mind. Fade Out has powerful emotional dark vibes. I really think its kinda like not really Thom York singing at the moment. And it makes u feel bad, nevermind this song is hypnotic and stanning.

Interesting how this element of the song was depicted in the music video!
listen to the These Grey Men version. Seems at just the right speed.

seen them live back in 95 they had just released the bends sung every song of the album to this day still one of the best bands I've seen live
Try Half Moon Run, they're influenced by Radiohead. Full Circle has a similar vibe to this
thank you man, theyre really good
Thom’s voice is otherworldly here - what a song and what a performance
This is the best life version of street spirit i've ever heard..it's beautiful ( immerse your soul in love )

Very much text
Up until the final two lines I agree that the song does convey a lot of hoplessness, or a I being naive?
It's so good.
I listened this live version more than the original studio.
As a musician this is by far the best song they made to shows thom talent. Singing so well while playing the melody, that is not that simple, insane.
he had the most hauntingly beautiful voice in here
My friend asked me to watch this video (don’t ask me the year because I’ll age myself). I had only heard creep before, so I was like ok. I was transfixed to the screen. This is the performance that made me a rabid Radiohead fan ever since,
Thom has this amazing talent that he connects deeply with every song he sings... stunning performance as always.
This live version is brutally good
4:17... Thom is truly one of a kind.. getting a hard time to control his emotions, it's simply overwhelming to him,but he still handles it
I like his foxy eyes at this moment. All his mimics during that couple of seconds
Jonny playing the keyboard with his guitar is outstanding!
when? ??
?
oh you mean playing with guitar on i thought playinf key notes on guitar
dude hit three keys with his guitar thats it
Pedal keyboard would have been easier
pedal keyboard would of been too huge to fit in the suitcase. bloke's got a lot of stuff
I don’t have words to describe this song is so beautiful
I swear when we get concerts back I'd fly any where to see Radiohead..They are so good.
Is Johnny playing the keys with the guitar's head? amazing...
I came to the comments session only to draw attention to that. outstanding, right?
just Greenwood things
when?
When?

This specific episode of 120 Minutes is what made me a fan of Radiohead. I’d heard “Creep” before, but this stopped me in my tracks. So good

you cant ever get music like this anymore from this generation. im proud of both of my older brothers for showing me theses awesome bands 🎶🎸

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love
