its like thom went back in time to 2005 from 2016 to perform it with an orchestra, causing the real 2005 thom to hear it and use it for in rainbows, creating a time paradox.
Every time I hear Radiohead early versions I think, Imagine having the amount of talent and beautiful songwriting abilities to abandon these early works as unfinished... I think 99% of people, if capable of making something like this, would be immensely proud
@@sean1445 that's true, they did a killer version of where bluebirds fly there too. but it's still pretty impressive they wrote a full orchestral arrangement for a song that was probably just written as a few arpeggiated guitar chords, and only had that arrangement performed once. it's not even like it's just the standard "strings playing sustained chords, a view pizzicatos for flavour" kind of arrangement, because this clearly had a lot of thought put into it for a one-time deal
@@pimposki6232 Yeah so much effort would've been put into it and yet it was for barely anything. There's a few Radiohead orchestral arrangements that didn't get put to record or performed much.
I could listen to this in the background for the rest of my measly little life and not get sick of it, I think. Because it is that organic. The perfect fix. It covers the all the bases of emotions that I think I care to indulge in anymore for this go 'round. Not up enough to make me jump up and boogie, but not down enough to trigger a teardrop. He keeps the ball safely within the boundaries of joy and agony for a safe run to the endzone, but still flirting with the boundaries to the left and the right.

I have been hoping to hear this version again for over a decade! Someone on Reddit found a comment of mine in a r/Radiohead post from three years ago asking for this version. They linked me to here today and I am over the moon! Thank you for posting this!!!
Radiohead is a landmark in music history. In a time of commercial music they spend decades perfecting songs instead of just using their names to throw shit out. This song was already good, but overtime it became something just unbelievable
I knew this version first (because Limewire), so when I heard the full band version on In Rainbows, I was originally taken aback that they make it fast and guitar based
Interesting, agreed the strings give it an interesting vibe, not sure about the programmed synth goes with the strings 100%, but still get to hear all the lyrics which are even better than I originally thought. Thanks for the upload, great tune.
I have sweet memories of reading niche Italian Renaissance books, like even though time and people almost forgot about these writers, even when they are in the depths of the internet. I am still here .. reading
This is pretty amazing but I personally prefer the energy of the original. Would be great to just amass an entire album's worth of this material for In Rainbows - like for every track.
Johnny Greenwood composed this piece as a piece of concert piece for the London Sinfonietta. It clearly became Weird Fishes. And the recording has been slowly surfacing across the internet.
hearing this version so long before In Rainbows came out really spoilt the studio version for me. As much as I love the one on In Rainbows, this one just hits different. So special.
I wonder if that's what Thom meant when he defined music as life affirming. He formulates a more melancholic version of a song and then, by trying to encounter patterns to form a resolution, to get to the next day, he elaborates a more accessible and alive version of the same piece, as if it was an antithesis to suffering, finding meaning in life itself. Just thinking about it.
In the deepest ocean The bottom of the sea Your eyes They turn me Why should I stay here? Why should I stay? I'd be crazy not to follow Follow where you lead Your eyes They turn me Sunk without a trace The bottom of the deep Your eyes They turn me Turn me on to phantoms I follow to the edge of the Earth And fall off Everybody leaves If they get the chance And this is my chance I get eaten by the worms And weird fishes Picked over by the worms And weird fishes Weird fishes Weird fishes I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom to escape Escape I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom to escape Escape
It’s like seeing a childhood photo of a very well known friend
Nice words. I felt something like that too.
It really is. The instrumentation here sounds almost naive, like a child
this is such a beautiful way to put it
I love poetry S2 S2
Yep…a nostalgia trip with all that made just the existence of this song so impenetrably relevant to our day to day lives, past and present. 😫
its like if weird fishes was minecraft music

just made a datapack that adds this song to minecraft and also retextured a disc if anyone is interested hmu

I’m glad you came back from the dead to give us your experience
Can I get a source for that information
i’m so happy the final version is the one they went with, and i’m so happy that this version exists
The ending of this version is incredible. A Moon Shaped Pool vibes
the intro sounds exactly like a section off of Ill Wind. or to be more precise, Ill Wind sounds a lot like this
exactly, which makes it even harder to let it end. it was just getting better and better..then...it's over.

Johhny actually wrote all the music for this
One of the tracks from There Will Be Blood has exactly the strings at 3:44. Jonny probably didn’t want to waste such a great arrangement on a demo.
Which tune?
@@baxter.baxter. open spaces
Well, I would say is a technique, not a track
How to Disappear Completely's strings employ a similar technique
@@diamantra7775… why would you call a song a technique?
This is like, really good. I hope they put these types of songs on In Rainbows' 20th anniversary version.

this version is so good, but you can't beat phil's drums on the album version
Those DRUMMMS!!!!!
One of the best drum beats of all time imo
The amount of effort ( orchestra) they put in a version that never (until now) came to light. This show us how commited with their art they are.
This is taken from a video that came out in 2005.

@@pimposki6232 Not saying it's not an impressive composition, just pointing out this version has been available for 16 years.
The score is 100% Jonny Greenwood, their guitarist. The others doesn't have, or have very little say or do in the entire orchestration
@@pimposki6232 Yeah so much effort would've been put into it and yet it was for barely anything. There's a few Radiohead orchestral arrangements that didn't get put to record or performed much.
I love the fact that it was very different but the idea of layering instruments playing arpeggios in different rhythms was always there

There was a video of this performance way back. It was beautiful, with Thom playing air piano...
It’s still on YT from a poster named WiseRiley. This is the audio. It was apparently the first time ever performed and you’re right, it’s magnificent.
Beautiful version ... Radiohead is sorely missed ...
What do you mean "sorely missed"? They didn't disband and A moon shaped pool is some of their best work.

That's right. The original poster also had the mp3 to download. I remember hoping that In Rainbows would all sound like this, but it didn't sadly.
Finally: EEEEDDDDD in string sound and orchestral vibes
This is astonishing.

Oh, come off that “in a time of” crap. There’s always been commercial music.
@@scottishcheese13 I don't disagree. In fact, I'm convinced most of the music of the past century was commercial. With good exceptions, luckly
@@Ganjalf_the_Green yeah, anything someone’s gotten paid to write or play or record is commercial

best radiohead music
Thank you Daniel Stashkin for this lovely gift on my birthday. Radiohead I love you always.

only radiohead could write and compose such beautiful sounds and melodies and name it fkin weird fishes

Before Jonny found that Ondes Marderet (spelled wrong) instrument he was trying different things. I think that’s where the pipe organ came from.
this has no price, thanks
Where is this artwork from? It compliments the mood perfectly.
Listen to the version they played at bonnaroo in 2006
They need to do a new song like this with synth noises and orchestra

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Sunk without a trace
The bottom of the deep
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the Earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom to escape
Escape
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom to escape
Escape
Sosososososo great 😍

Weird Fishes if it was on A Moon Shaped Pool
woah
