Great compliment to Mary Anne Hobbs. An interview characterised by mutual respect, politeness and sympathy for each other. It's pure joy to listen to Thom Yorke's voice in such a relaxed manner. I am looking forward for the next interview!
incredible interview - he's so articulate here and seems so natural and at ease. I don't know if he's just familiar with BBC studios at this point in his life, or if the interviewer and support crew are exceptionally good at making people feel welcome and at ease, but the magic is happening here without contrivance and it is beautiful
100% ... and what an absolute treat hearing his brutally honest, lovely reminiscing on how he is in how he is. A gift and inspiration. He has saved many, in him being him.
And here I thought i could not possibly love him more, but here we are. He is so humble and real. He is so well spoken. I feel lucky to breathe the same air as this man
Anger is intrinsically connected to creativity. And I've always thought angry Thom makes the best music. That's why Harrowdown Hill is the best track on The Eraser. And that's why Hail to The Thief is my favourite Radiohead album. I think Kid A is the most aesthetically pleasing, wonderfully experimental and probably the most emotionally revealling Thom has been on a Radiohead album. However, Hail To The Thief is gloriously angry and coincidently where Radiohead were masters of their craft.
@@DulceAllanLobohail to the thief wasn’t given as much time in the oven as the usual Radiohead project, so I disagree on it being their best since you can tell certain songs should’ve been left on the cutting room floor. Amnesiac however, I think was an achievement of theirs that doesn’t get spoken about enough. It so vividly encapsulates a feeling that’s nearly impossible to describe in words.
Thank you for this. I haven't heard Thom so much, other than music and the movies. This was a great interview. And thank you Thom for the creative rush.
His speech about why he'd choose Scott Walker - It's Rainin Today to be on a desert island is so beautiful ! It really does justice to the work of both I think
Thom has the kind of artistic courage that all creative people have. You make an album and take the best song and leave it out. If the album is still brilliant, you know you’re good. A case in point was the song I Promise. I can’t believe they thought it wasn’t strong enough. It’s that bravery which sets these people apart. Lennon and McCartney were the exception. Two geniuses in fierce competition who, because of basically discovering the God particle of music, were able to produce brilliant music at a rate that will never, ever be equalled. Nobody should try and copy them, just be yourself. I feel Thom has done this and has transcended into a genre all of his own.
My gosh, a kindred spirit. Music to me is the same. It's not something you just listen to, it's like the air we breathe. Without it, I wouldn't survive.
This band has brought me to tears I dared not feel or show. I’ve been on a desert island with them for years. God bless em’ I never knew I had so much in common…not near the weight but got a detached retina, sedated in a dark old children’s hospital room…Valium and managed to pry a Millennium Falcon out of it. Obsessed with tearing electronic apart. Lots of time alone. So much time, head between two large 70’s speakers. Queen, Fleetwood Mac and Tomita. What a story…..
15:21 when he describes Talking Heads ‘Remain in Light’ as like a bomb going off in his head >>> Wish he could see and feel everyone’s first listen to Paranoid Android and appreciate how many bombs in how many heads back in 97 and beyond that he and RH have set off…. Radiohead are a Mind Melting Band. Full of heart and soul. They come along Once In A Lifetime. And you usurp even Talking Heads. Radiohead are eternal. For ever. And yes, I’m drunk. Ps. Give this man a regular weekly show on BBC 6 Music!
Pure elation for 34 years. I feel the same when listening to them. Pure elation! Thank you for the raw and beautifully exposed music and words you have blessed me with hearing
Thom you’re you’re my hero :’’) heard some of his newer experimental solo stuff for the first time today (I’ve got about 150 reliable songs that’ I know I can count on to be great since high school … I have hurt aversion :’) but I felt brave today… in the words of earlier this afternoon Megan “this fucking BANGS!!” It’s the kind of music I bang out of my apartment too :) experimental music is the most rewarding to make in itself.. more pls :’)
I can actually pick up a bit of Radiohead but Thom especially influence in the tasteful variety of your songs in your "my tracks" playlist😆. (In case no one has told you, you can afford to take yourself a bit more seriously.) Don't stop... it's nice to see.
Absolutely amazing! I know he'll disagree but I put Thom in the sphere of those extraordinary human beings and artists that have had an amazing impact on humanity and my life in particular, as well as the perception of one of my passions: Music. Hope to keep hearing you both musically and philosophically! Thank You
Great interview, one of my all time favourite singers and bands and listen to some of the back stories - quite illuminating. Thanks Thom for being so honest and modest too.
he is really exception to all the rules. and as always anything special is kind of cosmic coincidence. so glad Radiohead exists and somehow stays grounded
Oba glasa su predivna,spontana i naravno kao obožavateljica Jeff Buckleya i Nine kužim da sam obožavateljica i Thoma.Sve ih povezuju neke stvari .Nešto iznad . Intervju kakav je milina slušati.

@@FaulddrLaerynn Yes, it would be nice to have a list. I suppose it wouldn't be to difficult to identify each piece, as they are all named throughout the interview.
“Artistic courage? My bum. When an artist starts chewing whole another artists then you being catered to hopefully dissipates. Oh, Rich Thom? Represents me? I saw what happened with Pink Floyd, disgusting. Posh it up all you Lilly, I ain’t suckin on it.” ,dan’
i could just listen to him talk. Go to sleep listening to his voice. Love him!
Cried when he talked about his kids. Beautiful

Thank you Thom and Mary Anne. Such an emotionally moving interview i just came across.
Thank you so much BBC Radio 4!
It’s a moment of reverence, as I listen to the cheerful voice of the man who saved my life.
I wish him only joy and happiness for all he's given to us.
100% ... and what an absolute treat hearing his brutally honest, lovely reminiscing on how he is in how he is. A gift and inspiration. He has saved many, in him being him.
He really has saved many including myself as well. ❤️🔥
This made me cry, hope all is well.
And here I thought i could not possibly love him more, but here we are. He is so humble and real. He is so well spoken. I feel lucky to breathe the same air as this man
He might be angry, but he sounds so much more at peace. Makes me happy.

1:04 “thank you for having me”. So polite and makes me love him all the more ♥️

Such a good interview, Thank you.

Nobody ever talks about Scott Walker which is sad because I've only recently discovered him and he's an extremely interesting artist.
Gosh it is wonderful to hear his thoughts and know that he is well after all he has given to all of us for so long.
Just hearing his voice talking makes me feel better.
Thom has the kind of artistic courage that all creative people have. You make an album and take the best song and leave it out. If the album is still brilliant, you know you’re good.

@@TheBella2u Thank you, Stella.
Yeah, sure, except NOT every creative person has it. Only the best.
sigh......STOP TALKING STOP STALKING STOP TALKING...................pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee stoooooooop teeleking
what do you mean that "Lennon and McCartney... basically discovering the God particle of music"
I don’t know what I’d do or where’d I’d be without this man’s and Radiohead’s creations
This band has brought me to tears I dared not feel or show. I’ve been on a desert island with them for years. God bless em’

What a story…..
When an artist start repeating himself because they think that's what people want, it's all over". I couldn't be more agree.
This was such an amazing interview.

What a great interview…. Radiohead for life…🖤

menh
I just adore Thom. He,s so down to earth and humble. Such a sweetheart.
He's a prophet!!! Nothing less!
I'm blown away that for how technical Thom is with music that he cannot read it. So, it's like all by ear? Mind blown.
My daughter can read music, but she prefers not to.
he can't read music but he knows a lot of music theory for sure, the proof is wrote some of the best riffs/chrods progressions ahah
Not being able to read music is not the same as not knowing music theory. Hes very versed in music theory.
I love this man.
I loved this! Thank you so much.
Thank you for the upload! Great interview questions and inspiring, truthful, vulnerable answers. A captivating listen.
Wow what an incredible interview and the musical choices were such moving pieces!
Great interview, one of my all time favourite singers and bands and listen to some of the back stories - quite illuminating. Thanks Thom for being so honest and modest too.
great explanation of the radiohead career, love the perspective. BBC rules!
Loved this amazing conversation
knowing that thom grew up and discovered his taste in/for music with Queen is awesome, my two fav bands
What a beautiful gift they are-
he is really exception to all the rules. and as always anything special is kind of cosmic coincidence. so glad Radiohead exists and somehow stays grounded
So well stated, thank you!
I loved this so much.
Glad I heard this all, thanks...
Such a great interview. Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing this here
this is a great interview
This was a beautiful eye opening interview. Thank you!
That's my favourite Scott Walker song!
Dang! Respect! Love! Light!
00:05:43
I listen to your "hahaha" over and over again, Thom
He's just too handsome ! Clever and talent as well ... and now at his actual age he's finally very comfotable and he's telling us all
Excellent interview
I wish he would work with Björk again
Thom Byorke
I wish I heard this interview when I was 16. I could have used some guidance.
I’m lucky I get to hear it now at 16
As someone who was born with nistagmus this was a really heart warming moment with Thom. Thanks Thom!
It’s neat for Thom to
1) get giddy and star struck about meeting Neil Young
2) do his best Neil Young impression whilst singing 😂
Aw, how endearing that he chose La jardin feerique.
What a blast
!,,,,, thanks
His voice.
Lol apparently me and him had the exact same childhood
Good interview.
He's a good listener
Nice to hear the story about his eye. Interesting how it became something of a trademark of his. Added to his bizarre mystique

Intervju kakav je milina slušati.
15:52 That interaction was joyously hilarious
I wonder if someoene has made a playlist with all the songs that he mentions. There are some names I don't quite get.
the guy is a hero!
So this must have been around 2018 if he did the suspiria soundtrack.
I wish they would put that in the description
My man🔥
I was thinking Talking Heads myself!
My first song was abiut suicide due to the fear of an atomic bomb explosion, and the despair that the fear of nuclear holocaust brings.
Did anyone else catch the Chumabwamba 'Mouthful of Shit' reference @35:52?
Made me smile did that 😊
such a cool interview - to me Yorke stands head and shoulders above Stipe/REM, it feels strangely misplaced to hear Yorke show so much reverence.
I feel the same way about Neil Young.
❤❤
Please oh please what is that electronic piece on 21:33 that made Thom crash with his car?? John WHO? Can't figure that one out
Is this what you need to know? John Peel (DJ) used to broadcast the most amazing music every weekday night on Radio 1, including this track: Freeman Hardy & Willis Acid by Squarepusher :)
@@arandall37 you are my hero. Thanx
@@funnyonlineuploads not a native speaker. I played it over and over but I just couldn't catch the name :D
what are the names of all the music, though , please,
Listen to no surprise by Radiohead
@@nestorflores3495 not exactly what i was asking really,
@@FaulddrLaerynn Yes, it would be nice to have a list. I suppose it wouldn't be to difficult to identify each piece, as they are all named throughout the interview.
"ain't it dead yet?"
This guy should be renamed G,O,D
Thon is GOD
Oh snap: High and Dry is about him as a kid on his bike...maybe?
Does anybody know when exactly this interview took place?
22/09/19
37:21
What does "4" means. Is there other three bbc interviews?
No BBC 4 is the radio station.
@@MKRumble91 lol thank you
what year is this
there is no need to repost interviews from the bbc; it's a widely recognized corporation
Take a look at these _iron_ hands
no sorry, was asking if anyone knew of the music form the above video obviously i was not going to get an answer , but it is all gravy i guess,
Hey Fauld, if you expand the description it lists all the songs Thom discussed in the video. Hope that helps
@@ewokmuncher1 Thanks for that Luke !
