each bar of this song has two dotted quavers, a crotchet, and two more dotted quavers. if you think about this in 16ths per bar, this equated to the notes equaling 3, 3, 4, 3, 3. a pyramid has four triangles and one square that make up the shape. this rhythm LITERALLY makes this song a pyramid i looooooove it i looooove radiohead
Nayth underrated comment!
interesting!
Theyre so smart, and if you've figured this out yourself- you're not far behind them. Kudos
Fuck yes.
Just counted that out and yes that's correct and that is also crazy
Jumped in the river what did I see

funny, laughed
8 years ago to the very day I took an overdose in an attempt to end my own life. This is the first song I listened to whilst in hospital and it has stayed with me. Life is fragile, I understand that now. Men don't keep the pain to yourself, talk to someone
If it wasn't for my dogs I'd kill myself and this is the second to last song I'd listen.
i’m glad you’re still here with us. it’s been four months since i lost my brother to an overdose. i made sure this song was played at his funeral. 🖤
I love you man
@@btayzor I'm sure your brother is in a better place now bud and I hope that you're able to find peace. You're a legend and never let anyone tell you otherwise
@@TheArtArq love you too buddy
My sister killed herself and this was one of her favourite songs. Knowing what the song is about brings me a lot of sadness. Hope she and all sharing her fate find refuge and the peace their souls yearned for.
My condolences.
Brother. May she
live for her brother. big virtual hug for you
I’m so sorry. I wish it could comfort you; it’s about finally finding peace. I realize that’s a big ask, but maybe eventually.
God bless u brother, may her soul live on forever, love u.

I still don't know if Radiohead gives me more depression or if it helps me , but i think it's both
I think it works like a drug...feels good while it's going but as soon as it stops you need more and a higher dosage.
Depression is strangely mind opening. We are more sensitive to both the painful and the beautiful. We are here to help Them see.
For me makes me depressed when I’m happy and happy when I’m depressed haha
Yes.
So true!
The reason you feel comfort when listening to this song is because at the deepest level you know what he's saying is true; there's nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.
Yes, every fear and every doubt we could ever feel has at some point also been experienced by other people before, and some of them must have made it out of their situation, so if we cling on to hope, it should all eventually pass with time.
We’re all going to Heaven, but need to live life to the fullest while we’re here on earth❤
Except for camel spiders. Those fuckers a vicious.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123 I think it is darker than that. He means that your ultimate destination is the same no matter what you do, and that life is an insane trip that will turn out the same way no matter what.

Radiohead frontman Thom York has said of this track; "That song literally took five minutes to write, but yet it came from all these mad places. [It's] something I never thought I could actually get across in a song and lyrically. [But I] managed it and that was really, really tough. [Physicist] Stephen Hawking talks about the theory that time is another force. It's [a] fourth dimension and [he talks about] the idea that time is completely cyclical, it's always doing this [spins finger]. It's a factor, like gravity. It's something that I found in Buddhism as well. That's what Pyramid Song' is about, the fact that everything is going in circles." According to Colin Greenwood, it was the image of "people being ferried across the river of death" that most affected York. This is reflected in the song's many references to Dante's imaginary journey through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven, Divine Comedy. These include the black-eyed angels, a moon full of stars and jumping into the river.
Thank you so much ! Very helpful and interesting to me..
You are too beautiful to listen to Such sad music😳
@@Leo-qe3glBEAUTIFUL* music.
@@MCart1215 yes. It is beautiful. but it is also melancholic.
Yorke* but ok
Years ago i used to work as a tour guide for a travel company, worked across loads of places around the World taking tourists on the "typical" kind of experience of popular attractions. I was a big Radiohead fan in my youth. Around 2002/3 I was working in Egypt for a few months, living on the outskirts of Cairo. I took a group of American tourists, most of whom couldn't understand my northern english accent! We headed out to Giza, did the whole "posing for photos" thing we always did, then I turned and saw a couple who I just assumed were with our group. Then I thought "shit, I think that's Thom Yorke", then I had that thing where you doubt yourself when you see a celebrity in real life. Then one of the American tourists actually shouted "Thom, I loved Amnesiac even if no one else did" , quick as a flash he said "how did you find Pyramid Song?" I've never laughed so much in my life.
William Clark Sir, this should be a top comment

The section of comments in Radiohead’s songs are my favourite. I always learn a lot about a bunch of random shit
Dany Ignacia SAME
I like to shove traffic cones up my Ass!
Yes, radiohead fans are known to be very kind...
Most random thing I can think of to add: bumblebees have pockets.
It's called general knowledge.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
its damn good though
it is
One of the best, for sure.
i agree
Difficult to sing along, but if u manage to , then u feel like proper psycho
This song played on repeat on my tiny boombox in the pitch black endless nights and was the only solace I knew for a spell during my 20s, it kept me alive honestly. The entire Amnesiac album is sublime.🖤
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
thx mate
When looking in the comments to these music videos, there's always that one guy that posts the lyrics.
Thanks friend. Cheers.
The positivity and the doom of it all. Never fails to blow my mind.
Masterful lyricism 🤌🖤
Great, now I'm depressed but with 1080p
4k.......
I wanna be depressed in 1440p tho
I remember when 1080p was the new one. now its 14k i guess
9k all day
Bruh, imagine being depressed but in 4K....yea, that's what I thought.
That sprinkle of drums at 2:13 😍🤦♂️
Genius.
Yes. Love this moment 😳. Tata tzz tata tzzz tata tzz😊
It's little moments like that which really make me love the band. Listen to the eerie creek-like sound during the pianos at the start, it's just a tiny addition that gives a whole lot of depth
Right? I dig jazzy Phil Selway. This whole album, really 🍻
They do something similar in Exit Music (For a Film) too and it gives me goosebumps every time
There's no way the dev team for Cyberpunk hadn't watched this video before developing the Pyramid Song sidequest. It's an homage to this video. It has to be.
I couldn’t bang her because I had a penis so I uninstalled
almost every mission in the game is named after a song lol
@@braydonsimmons4033 i'm aware, I'm saying the specific mission layout is a direct homage to this video.
@@dtice69almost as if it were entirely intentional
Here’s a quote from Thom Yorke: “That song literally took five minutes to write, but yet it came from all these mad places. [It’s] something I never thought I could actually get across in a song and lyrically. [But I] managed it and that was really, really tough. [Physicist] Stephen Hawking talks about the theory that time is another force.

It’s something that I found in Buddhism as well. That’s what “Pyramid Song” is about, the fact that everything is going in circles.”
Perhaps it’s called “Pyramid Song” because of the concept of reincarnation, which according to Thom, is “everything is going in circles.” When we die, we’ll meet our dead lovers and everything in the past come to us. They are both our past and our future. So touching, so lovely.
around
and
around and
around
and
Huh. Have you heard of Octavarium?
Reincarnation aint real. Also Buddhism is about avoiding reincarnation. Man I am tired of cycles
It's called Pyramid Song because of the rhythm. There are various videos about it.
I love Thom, but not sure he was totally au fait with what Hawking was writing about here
The narrator jumps into the river of existence, of time, and is carried away by its endless flow. Therein, all along the way, he sees the visage of death: black-eyed angels. And in that journey, he beholds a future he'll never see: humans traveling among the stars. But there also are the unsettled things from his past, the people and things in his memories that have decayed into mere figures. All his lovers are there with him, all his pasts and futures, at life's end, all together, all in the same boat, fading into Heaven.
There are five lights dancing at the end. Five beats per measure. Five points on a pyramid.
The pyramid is a portal to death. It points to the heavens, guiding thereto the souls interred within it. This is the Pyramid Song.
That was beautiful 😊
You sound like a religious numerological lunatic. Get a grip man!
I love you
Well, in this song remains in 4/4 the whole time, its just mad swing and syncopation.
@@thisistheglasshouse waved spotted
This song is an enigma to me. I can’t understand how it evokes such a nostalgic comforting feeling to me. Like I’m traversing some new woods that seem and feel oddly home-like. Just me?
Same, I wish I could express exactly how it makes me feel
Beautifully haunting
Yes
just you
Same. There is much about the human experience we share and we don't necessarily understand why
This is a song of the universe child… some universe that we have all perhaps lived in it before..
RIP my friend. You took your life a few days ago. I hope you found relief from your pain, I hope that all has been resolved. I love you brother.
My best friend is the one who introduced me to radiohead. He killed him self in 2016.
I'm thinking I notice a correlation between being a radio head fan and suicide.
Something in their DNA I'm guessing.
I’m truly sorry. I hope you are doing well now.❤

i like you. i've added you to my google hang outs family group.
i would take a bullet for you bro.
and if you're a girl we should totally get married.
i would fucking die for you man.
do NOT TAKE THAT LIGHTLY.
In What Time Signature is Your Song?
Radiohead: Yes
@@nicozeta3 it's 4/4 actually with 3 3 4 3 3 (which create pyramid) and play swingLY
@@echeverria1674 what is your point man? I just said 44 anf why the heck you repeat it?
@@echeverria1674 and it means you write before you read. Ok go off do not reply this
the weird part is that the song is in 2 time signatures at the same time
tool: hold my beer
"And we all went to heaven in a little rowboat; there was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt" ...easily my favorite lyrics of Thom's. My god this song is beautiful.
I always heard it as "There's nothing to fear and nothing to hope."
Do you know what Amnesiac means? It's about someone that experienced apparent death, and when he wokes up he is amnesiac. That person is me, i'm the man who sold the world. Now the world is getting warmer because of the global warming.
Nobody nor the die hard Radiohead fans know what Amnesiac means.
*sorry english is not my native language
This and Street Spirit really feel like some supernatural force overtook Thom when he wrote them (he even mentioned this himself). There’s something both deeply unsettling and remarkably comforting about it, like some divine entity’s way of communicating with humans and making them stare death in the eyes - and there’s “nothing to fear, nothing to doubt”
Omg, you put it so beatifully, just amazing
Thank you.
Yes, supernatural, I agree.
A mystic experience that we can't completely understand..
😳 i think you are right. I feel it.
I heard this in Peaky Blinders, and immediately knew it was Thom Yorke singing. I love this , and love that this was in the show.
Yes the last season the last ep I was like this sounds like thom then I googled it and sure enough
me too ! and its crazy because the music feel absolutely perfect on this scene, on tommy’s sadness
@@lucie6708 which season which ep

There's lot of Radiohead in Peaky Blinders
"It´s just myself talking to myself about myself" Tommy Shelby ,This song gives me the chills
This reminds me of a Cyberpunk 2077 mission where you go diving into an underwater town flooded by a dam, it was called... WAITAMINUTE
oh jeez the reveal at the end abt tyger claws raiding clouds...
And even her Tattoo on her left arm " There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt"
"There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt"
I get chills every time I hear that line
Pyramid Song is one of the most Genius pieces of music to have ever been recorded.
Seriously, it makes everything else on Amnesiac that much harder to appreciate.
+Timothy Dannenhoffer I Might Be Wrong is superb imho
Pete Owen I will have to give it further listens, thanks.
Amnesiac is my favourite album and Pyramid Song is on the middle part of my ranking honestly. I like more Knives Out (my fvaourite RH song), Like Spinning Plates, LIAGH, Dollars And Cents and Packt.
Probably because it has the darkest atmosphere of all RH's albums. It's quite hard to "digest" for a standard person.
This was one of my 16 songs on my Christmas 2001 generic mp3 player, 128 mb. It was track 1. I used to put this song and 15 others on while I was skiing. I was 15. This is the song that makes me picture vast slopes of uncarved, machine packed snow, a mix of artificial and real, with a large lake in the background, partially frozen at the shore. I always feel like it is 8 am and bitterly cold when this plays, the sun still rising. I can feel my legs go numb beneath the shins if I picture those days we had to turn back because it was too cold. This song is beautiful.
What an amazing scene thank you
So cool how you were aware of the great music being produced in your era. I always find myself listening to 'older' music (I'm only 18 so everything is old to me)
I don't know if there's a more powerful song than this. I mean, it's so simple but so heavy at the same time. This song continues to "bloom" everytime I listen to it.
It was used in the movie "Inside" starring Willem Dafoe (2023)
Philip Selway's masterpiece - the drumming of a man at the very top of his game.
So underrated
Radiohead's songs are so atmospheric you kind of lose track of the individual instrumentation, but yeh, Selway's drumming is just so perfect for what they're doing.
I’ve listened to this 1000’s of times, but your comment made me focus on the drums and yes, I agree. In this he controls the song imo
This brief comment took several painfully embarrassing & unfortunate minutes of starring emptily into the abyss of my pfone skreen, as the Idiot @ the controls very much lost the plot entire and complete essence of original thought or desired reflection on the very ?thing? before me. So the one "in charge" for now, said Idiot Supreme of previous, just ended up in defeated apathy & annoyance typing this Gem of Relevancy, to one day be consumed & examined by Absolutely Not A Single Anyone, alongside the added benefit for Zero. Resoundingly affirming the Total Complete SpaceWASTE O' Time.
Fun, fun, fun.... til daddy took her T+bird A. Way
Sounds like he's channeling Mitch Mitchell to me. Not by any means a bad thing.
This song, this song right here, was the song that convinced me that Thom Yorke was probably the greatest musical genius of our time.
Was?
I wouldn’t call him the greatest of our time. I feel Jacob Collier is just above Tom for me but not by alot.
Every fanbase thinks that about their favourite musician lol
@@HelloHello-vk5ob No way . Thom's vocal melodies are unsurpassed. Just listen to a jazz version of there, there you realise how important his sheer vocal melodies are too Radiohead, Johnny Greenwood is musically more talented than Thom, and really knows music theory , But its thom's eerie and melancholic melody that makes Radiohead what they are. In my view he is England's greatest genius since Shakespeare.
@@greengrass811 since morrissey*
"There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt" that tattoo on Judy Alvarez from Cyberpunk brought me here, the game may not be perfect and all but it sure as hell attaches you to its characters and story. and judy''s story was one of the best/saddest endings depending on your choices. Her character and voice is just so raw that it feels like its not acted. its just really pure
There is also a mission with her called "pyramid song" which plays a lot like how this music video looks.
played the game and im really getting serious brain rot about a fictional lesbian. goddamn judy best girl.
Best Radiohead song ever. Makes my eyes water every time.
A truly unbelievable piece of music..the hesitancy of the piano, the eeriness, the apparent discordancy and - of course - Thom's voice all add up to a veritable masterpiece. Probably my favourite Radiohead song
It's like an old gospel hymn on a bad come down. I love it.
I think it's my favorite too. can't stop listening to it....
It is truly mesmerising
Martin Dytham
Amazing description. This IS my fav Radiohead song.
Martin Dytham it's my favorite too, so powerful!
If you came here in a deep sad moment, just know that you are important to many people, your mistakes will fade away with time and all that makes you sad will be gone someday, somehow.
But until then, just know that you are not alone.
There is nothing to fear and nothing to doubt.
Thank you, i really needed that right now.
Well that's a great thing to say, thanks,
merry xmas big chungus 2018
That day will be the day we die.
You have beautiful soul and big heart
"There is no rest for me in this world. Perhaps in the next." - Tommy Shelby
I've been a HUGE radiohead fan for years and this song in my opinion is one of their best
Same. Absolutely agree this song is up there for me too
Thom Yorke agrees with you.
You’ve probably heard it but: TY has said it’s the best thing they ever recorded.
Absolutely. This song feels so, I cant even describe it. It just feels right.
@@brkfstfd actually I didn't but I just listen to the music. I would have picked "how to disappear completely" or "in limbo". But I'm not Thom.
This is definitely one of the best songs ever written. The piano, his voice, the beat, the message, i can't explain how much i love this song.
the beat?.... just stop... it's ok to like the song, but imbuing it with qualities that don't even exist takes away from it
@@notimportant3686 Do you not know what the word "beat" means? Do you think hip-hop producers have a monopoly on the term? Buddy, it existed long before the people who pioneered hip hop were even conceived. It is an essential aspect of music theory. If you don't think this song has a beat, then maybe you should grab an "Appreciating Music as a Layman" type books and read up.
All jokes about the video quality are now outdated, but more importantly you can finally see whats going on
it still look kinda crappy :(
Doesnt matter. I close my eyes when i listen to...
@@martinacuna9556 This animation looks really surreal and interesting. Especially considering it's over 20 years old
Usually I don't listen to Radiohead for the lyrics exactly, although they're always really good. This song I listen to for both the music and the lyrics, which are very poetic and evocative. It makes me feel like there is nothing to fear and nothing to doubt.
Radiohead is one of those iconic bands that somehow managed to slip under my radar completely. I've known about them pretty much since they started, but for some reason I never got to exploring their music at all. I found this particular song after playing Cyberpunk 2077 and completing the mission "Pyramid Song", which has been haunting my mind for the past several days.
Pyramid Song evokes bittersweet melancholy feelings that I just can't seem to get enough of! :)
this song is in cyberpunk? lol wtf i still havent played that game yet. thats pretty cool
@@jacobm92 No, the song isn't featured in the game per se, but one of the characters has a tattoo that says "There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt." and there is a mission called "Pyramid Song", which focusses on that particular character and also contains an instrumental track that is loosely based on the Radiohead song.
As for playing Cyberpunk: you definitely should try it - it's really good. But prepare to have your heartstrings pulled! :)
It is also interesting that she takes you to an underwater city.
@@jasonbourne4865 sounds cringe
Don't know what to make of the last two comments, so /shrug. :)
"There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt."
That's exactly how I felt when I resigned myself to suicide.
I was certain and I was unafraid.
A disquieting stillness, safe in the knowledge that there will be no more pain.
Seeing this in HD for the first time, I feel that stillness again. But more importantly I feel catharsis. Even 19 years later, this video still makes me cry.
Hope you’re okay now
Thank you for sharing, glad you're still here! I hope you're doing better now ❤
The human experience is ... hard to navigate sometimes. Remember, nothing is permanent, not even your strugles and pain. I know sometimes all you see is pitch black, but there is always a smile left in you.
How did you botch your attempt?
I am glad you are still here.
You are not alone
💗
One of the most haunting music ever recorded.
if the mission in cyberpunk named after this song had this song playing the background i think would of bursted into tears
You can always play the game and put that on your speakers... 😉
Judy actually hums it to herself once you hit land
The mission is called pyramid song and doesn't have this song in the sound track?
Idk why no one is talking about the visual art in this video, it suits the song perfectly, amazing song
The visuals are absolutely mindblowing!
The video is fantastic, goes so well with the song, it hits me even harder because it's a British town and British streets that are represented in the video rather than an American ones and being British myself I can identify with it more. It looks like the cities and towns where I've spent my life, where I grew up. My home.
@@GeoNeilUK Radiohead are a British band, so not sure why it would be otherwise. But I get you, us Brits consume a lot more American media than we'd like to admit lol
I think the visuals come from a videogame that had a quest dedicated to this Song specifically but don't ask me which videogame
They just wanted to go home.
this song gives me the feeling of lovecraftian/cosmic horror. it makes me feel like i woke up on a strange planet with a red sky, and there’s nothing left for me to do but walk. walk in the endless sand, surrounded by giant triangular sculptures. i don’t know how to leave. i just want to go home. i feel like there must be a purpose to all of this.
i imagine this must be how it feels to see a pyramid. large, immaculate, ominous structures. the feeling that something strange has worshipped these for generations. the sheer impossibility, the alien appearance. it feels like something strange and dark put it there.
Agreed! Should've used this song for the new Dune trailer
it reminds me of the fishing hamlet from Bloodborne (a game inspired by lovecraftian horror)
A man of culture!
unreal comment
the way you describe it like Kid A album cover
Sometimes it seems to me Radiohead has known some sad secret of the universe. And now they look at this world with wisdom and sorrow, and sing their sad songs. And everything is so beautiful, that even full of pain..
The sad secret is the vast majority of people who regard themselves as 'good' don't do enough to make people better than themselves feel and be appreciated , supported, nurtured and touched, emotionally and physically. So the best people retreat and bland people fill the gaps. Blandness becomes the new greatness. All because women hate to praise and reward good men.
Like I get what you are saying. But you need to take more English classes so you can portray your feelings better lol
Like wut sad songs?
They are redeeming
The secret to this song is the golden ratio or fibonacci or phi or whatever you wanna call it, the way i know is the name of the song what he is talking about and the lights at the end of the video signify the golden ration which is linked to every living being down to plants and animals all the way up to hos universes are shaped, it is the rule of beauty and symmetry.
Look up optimistic Nihilism.
The secret is that Radiohead is made up of mere mortals that know no more about the universe than you or I. Good musicians, sure, but trust me when I tell you that Thom and the rest are just as shallow, selfish, and empty as the rest of us.
I love that in Cyberpunk 2077, there's a quest that shares the name of this song, and the quest is quite similar to this music video
In my opinion the is the most accomplished and beautiful song ever written by a band in modern times. It invokes feelings of immense joy and immense sadnes all at the same time. I feel despair and I feel hope. It brings me on a journey that I don't want to partake in, but still, I am glad that I did. It makes me think of life, death, and life again. I could go in depth about piano , syncopation and string arrangements and such, but the whole of this song just ascends beyond any of that. An absolute masterpiece
it doesn't make me feel hope, but it makes me feel soothed.
Something about this song makes my skin tingle
same i get goosebumps every time
Its surreal
This song is my favorite song of all times. I will leave it in my will for it to play at my funeral. I only listen to it once or twice a year because I want to maintain its power but i think about it a lot. Mystical, magical, spiritual. It is my essence in music form. Thank you Radiohead.
@*insert type* I'll make sure you go first
@@yaseen_elolemy Bruh
LOL!
Making "remembrance playlist" for my kids to play in my funeral. If Im, against all odds, make it till 65, im going to have million songs in it, but this song is def in it..
Totally agree with that!
En los primeros días de la pandemia cantaba esta canción caminando por las calles vacías. Era inexplicablemente hermoso.
I can't believe how expressive and profound their music is.
It is remarkable how the drums sneaks in.
"Death, the only immortal, who treats us alike, whose peace and refuge are for all. The soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved"
-MARK TWAIN
I can never remember how this song goes until I hit play, then I get the biggest uncontrollable smile as soon as I hear the first bars.. Greatness
I'm a Classical artist. This weekend my students are giving a recital. One of them is playing Pyramid Song in the Josh Cohen arrangement (available from Faber music). This student and I LOVE Radiohead. And we are gonna educate the others.
There's a TV programme in Ireland called 'Reeling In The Year's' where they show all the major events of a particular year. This song is played over the Twin Tower attacks segment on September 11th 2001. It's suitably ery.
For Judy, 2077.

@Not Dead she sucks idk i would prefer panam
@Not Dead I was just came here 2 listen album idk man I was curious about what people thought about video not the game I kinda got angry sorry
why is this comment here?
is pyramid song somehow related to cyberpunk? im genuinely confused
My dog has died, exactly a year ago. And I like to sit in front of his grave listening to this song. He was the most special thing to me and I can't stop missing it.
I love this song so much, and its the one I listen the most, specially today.
Love you little baby..
Only a dog person would understand your grief. I know the connection that you can have with a dog because I have it and will regret deeply when he is gone. Cherish the memories of the time you spent with him because that can never be taken away.
❤❤
Right. Fucking. On. I empathize with that pain. Savor the love - and the pain. It's what makes us human. Bless your pupper.
He is still with you
The Dead are always there
tears.
It's really funny how Cyberpunk 2077 directly quotes this song and this video
I don't think this is depressing at all. It's mystical.
Spiritual.

A song that hits your spirit, makes you go into another dimension
Transcendental
Its is just a song, nothing more.
Radiohead isn't depressing unless you let it be. Radiohead is soulful
Man I get goosebumps every time the drum kicks in
I had an insanely intense acid trip in the summer of 2001 when Amnesiac came out. I had been listening to it nonstop, particularly this song. As I was tripping I looked up into the night sky and the stars "moved" and formed a pyramid....I will never forget that moment as long as I live!!
@Eric Andre man do i envy you two
Now that I think about it, the sounds all piled together do form a strange, triangular shape in my head. So interesting!
What do you think it means?
@@TurnerRentz It means the acid they took was probably quite strong and their mind convinced them that they saw a constellation changing into the shape of a pyramid. Whatever you do, don't ask them about the shapes the stars became while they were watching porn.
I have some of the lyrics tattooed on my knees
The last Mission with Judy in CP77 has this title ❤
Very similar premise to this video as well
I hits harder when you realize that the title of the mission and premise of the clip tells you exactly what she was about to do if you didn't show up.
My favourite radiohead song. That slight delay in the piano is just delicious.
are you talking about the placement of the chord stabs or are you talking about a processing delay? just asking coz ive never heard a processed delay and would be interested if there was one in there
@@mhtbfecsq1 "processing delay" is basically just every echo you hear in every song. It's the placement
@@valentingramm5801 so you mean the way he holds back on some chords? or you're saying the delay effect achieved either by hardware or software?
@@mhtbfecsq1 I think he was just talking about the syncopated chords
It's a 2 bar clave rhythm repeated over and over again. It's not a felt delay, it's a metric and calculated one, purposefully made further disorienting by changing which beat the chord changes on, as well as what chord each phrase resolves on.
It's a dotted quarter note ( 3 Sixteenths) followed by another dotted quarter (3 Sixteenths) followed by a quarter tied to another quarter on the first beat of the second measure (4 Sixteenths) followed by two more dotted quarters (3 Sixteenths each) making the pattern of chords 3 3 4 3 3....much like a "pyramid".
My friend introduced me to Radiohead just yesterday, I'm so grateful of him.

If you're a new fan and still haven't checked out In Rainbows, Ok Computer, or Kid A I would listen to those because those albums got me into Radiohead massively. Especially In Rainbows and Ok Computer
@@br1an360 thanks for the recommendation!
@@br1an360 and yes, ok computer is way too good
@@flazo9152 Yeah Ok Computer is amazing but personally my favorite album is In Rainbows
the beauty of music, and all art forms, is that they connect with people, but in a way unexplainable by biology. This song in particular, whether it’s done in a spiritual sense or not, connects with me, and i believe it does for so many people. it’s like it takes your soul out of your body while it’s playing, and surrounds you in the music.
“There was nothing to fear, and nothing to doubt”
- Thom Yorke, Radiohead
One of my favorite Radiohead songs to drive late at night on a lonely road.
When I listen to Radiohead it's like the voices in my head finally synchronized and sing a beautiful song. It's peaceful. Some really strange feelings
I hear you. This song is simply beautiful.
Bad luck, Loneliness, inability to utter your emotions, emotional problems, anger issues, depression, insomnia and we start the new year with a pandemic that makes life even worse. But whenever i feel down or am in need of emotional support i put my headphones on and listen to the intelligence and the craft of this band. Their tracks are spellbinding and this one particularily is my Go to sleep track. This song will remain with me forever helped me through a lot
I was looking for a comment like this ngl. Great to see there are more of us who use Radiohead to calm themselves down.
Life happens FOR you....
I'm here from the Cyberpunk77 mission from the same name of the song. Makes so much sense why they chose this now
Such a perfect song for the final episode of Westworld Season 4. Love they brought back Radiohead for that moment.
The music choices in Westworld were amazing
yes loved it!!
Funny it was also played in the final episode of s4 peaky blinders
I have been listening to Radiohead for about 15 years , and I've always liked this song but never loved it. However , the older I get and the more I listen to this song - the better it gets and the more I appreciate it
This is my top 3 Radiohead song along with decks dark and jigsaw falling into place. But this might be the best one
I totally know what you mean. I listened to this song for a long time and thought it was alright, and then one day it clicked and I realised just how beautiful it is. I adore most Radiohead songs instantly, but I’ve had the same experience with others. Christ, it took me years to ‘get’ _Creep._ I actually thought it was really overrated, and then all at once its utter genius hit me. I can’t explain it...except that I’m a slow learner, lol.
My favourite was _Scatterbrain_ though. I remember it so clearly. I was sitting at an old job doing some mindless task and listening to _Hail To The Thief_ on a loop. There was a moment in that song where it all fell into place and the melody and chords sent shivers down my spine. It felt so bloody good. I love that memory.
This is their best song in my eyes. Older I got I just loved it
I’ve been hooked on Radiohead ever since I heard this song, when it was released on the radio. Cassette days - those were the days!
I was blown away by it since Amnesiac came out way back in 2001. To each their own though.
The scene from Peaky Blinders where Tommy gets shitfaced and experiences PTSD (Season 4, episode 6)
Finally snapped after shooting Alfie Solomons Jnr.
One of the best scenes ever!!
@@hunter74able It was also the heaviest scene so far. A truly mesmerizing showing of what it's like inside the head of someone who'll never know happiness anymore.
Best scene of Peaky Blinders!
For order by the Peaky "Fkcuin" Blinders
Judy's Cyberpunk last mission flashes.
To me, this song represents a moment of clarity in life when the realization is evident that all of the fuss and ruckus is all about nothing because when you physically die it is ALL left behind.
I know what this is, it's just myself talking to myself about myself
TFS
Haha nail on the head
Was looking for this 😍
NIN
TF
i feel like radiohead is just a group of aliens
True
Well,if reincarnation is real(Bruce Greyson,Brian Weiss,Jeffrey Mishlive),then they could indeed be from some other part of this simulation(Tom Campbell,Ed Fredkin,George Smoot,Nick Bostrom),or another simulation altogether...
subterranean homesick aliens
They are a bunch of aliens stuck on earth, depressed.
Tool
this inspired one of my favourite cyberpunk2077 Side Mission. Thank you!
Judy has the lyrics tattooed on her left arm ''there was nothing to fear nothing to doubt''
@@BGomez-tk7lu yes!
this song always gives me chills.. it's a place that exists in me, but listening is the only way there
Wow , you expressed that perfectly !!
I mean really--
The perfect description doesn't ex-
It was THIS song , out of every Radiohead song, that convinced me Thom Yorke was one the greatest musical geniuses of our time. AND HE IS....period, no debate.
NO DEBATE‼️
no fucking debate-mate
After awhile I realized it wasn't about getting to the top of a pyramid, it was about getting to the center of a circle.
It's not a journey upward, but a journey inward; to the center of the maze.
Intelligence 100👌🏼
I watch this after finishing Cyberpunk 2077. This video is literally the reference of a side quest with Judy Alvarez, such a cool reference tho!
Words can't describe how this song makes me feel. Thank you Radiohead 🙏
This was such a strange looking video when it released, now in 2020 it looks like the trailer for a cool indie video game with the simple polygon aesthetic of the characters, depressing atmosphere in a post apocalyptic world, cool music, it hits all the boxes of indie gaming gold.
Not gonna lie, I would play An Indie game Like portrayed here lol
When are some game developers gonna get on that
Wonder who would develop.
@@Ms_Drake I'd love to see Playdead or Giant Squid take a shot at it.
Got goosebumps hearing this at the end of Peaky Blinders. What a perfect song for that moment.
James Parker just saw that tonight. So well put in. Totally made that scene
YEAH MAN, THAT WAS SO PRECIOUS FROM THE PRODUCTERS
Absolutely Correct ❤️
Just seen it, what a scene man...
Exactly bro .. that's why i love this song
So raw, deep, dark, sad, somehow not lonely!
What a vibe
Distilled for the eradication of seemingly incurable sadness.
- Thomas Shelby
Josh Klinghoffer from RHCP played this song at the Giza Pyramids tonight. Awesome.
He blew me away. I was beyond impressed.
I would hardly recommend Dot Hacker. It has this vibes. @@ecoRfan
Dying to see this but nothing has been uploaded yet. I LOVE Josh.
I was there
Ash P the whole concert os on youtube by rhcp
I'm 67 and I love this track it gives me goose bumps......
I’m 20 and I love this track it gives me goose bumps......
Gives my goosebumps goosebumps buster
i am a goosebump and this track gives me 69 ...
I'm 42 and I love this track it gives me goose bumps
@@AxCYeR I'm a track and this goosebump gave me a 69
Whenever i listen to this song now, i think about Judy... and how the visuals are echoed in her quest with the same song name.
What a song. So gentle, yet so moving. This is definitely up there with Radiohead’s best work.
How deeply and utterly beautiful are those lights at the end, dancing around in the sky to Jonny's string arrangement. Sublime and haunting.
One of the most beautiful songs ever? I think so.
@choi broken 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 there are probably 25 musical acts between radiohead and muse post 2000 alone. Muse is not even in the same league as radiohead
This song makes me feel so lucky to be alive. And I get so lost in those violins and his voice.
At first I thought the cyberpunk mission name was just coincidence, and the further along i went with it, the more i got convinced, holy shit, they named the mission after this fuckin song
Judy best girl
a lot of the missions are named after songs if I'm not mistaken
Here because of Radiohead.
Ms. Chantal "Who's here bc of _______?" Idk them but i do know who Radiohead is.
Ms. Chantal hell yeah, me too.
