- Lyrics:
When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
'Cause I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen - เพลง
My best friend overdosed this Monday. She's on life support until her family decides to take her off next week. She's not coming back. She introduced me to radiohead. Ten years ago. Ten years ago we were 18 years old driving around with the windows down listening to radiohead. I feel her still when I listen to this song. Like she's speaking to me through this song. I feel her again and I feel the same way I did when I first heard this song with her ten years ago. I will miss you forever my friend. This is one for the good days ❤
❤️
Condolences
Your story has moved me; I hope you have recovered from the loss, in case you didn't I hope you will get better one day. Take care, i wish you a wonderful day.
We still care
This is the best cover I've ever heard
This Thom guy should start his own band
Lmfao
he has a band it's called the smile lol he also somehow got the guitarist from Radiohead that's insane
Idk. He's kinda Creepy...
@@RubiksPolice and a weirdo.. what the hell is he doing there anyway?
you can hear he's keeping the sycopated rythm with his leg
so beautiful
You can also hear it on the recording too. Just very very faint to the point where you have to focus on hearing it.
nice
he plays the first chord of the piece on the true beat too.
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape
Hands down the most gripping version of Videotape in my opinion
my favorite is the one on spotify, with the choral in the beginning, because i heard it in a nightmare and i woke up and couldnt sleep because i kept hearing it and then seeing my sisters distorted face
Serena which version is that ?
Fatih Sağıroğlu i have no idea i just get all my music off of spotify so thats the version from there
Absolutely, I'm not the biggest fan of the recording on In Rainbows, but this is just deeply compelling.

Oh my God his hands are so beautiful. I love you Thom Yorke
HE ALREADY HAS A PARTNER WHO DANCES ON THE RED CARPET
It's amazing how his foot moving the pedal sounds like a quiet little drum track
I'm pretty sure that he did it on purpose because if you listen, the moving of his foot is in a different time signature, so it creates a syncopated rhythm.
actually it's all in 4/4, just hits all the 8th notes with his leg
it's syncopated.
i honestly don't think so, he is just accentuating the notes on the upbeat with his foot
It is syncopated. His foot is keeping quarter notes. The piano chords are felt on the "ands". you can also hear him accidentally play one note on the "1" by mistake just after 2 minutes. so cool.
It's like Van Gogh playing the piano. Not just visually.
This song just grows on you.
Best comment ever
This comment was a while ago, but I’ve just read it. Such a perfect analogy. Thom Yorke plays every note and sings every note exactly as it should be...not precise, not perfect...but just like Van Gogh, every brush Stoke is human. Loaded with feeling, emotion and connection. An imperfect form of perfection. Like life itself. How lucky are we to be able to enjoy the work of Thom Yorke and Van Gogh.
Chain listening ...I wana play this song on my guitar
He's so pure
He's so beautiful
He's so talented
He's so smart
This song ls full of emotions
Long live Thom Yorke
Love he forever
He's so lucky
He's a star
But he cry, cry, cries in his lonely heart, thinking
I love this man.
raul yanez cortes I love too
2:07 is such an incredible sight. Whoever placed the "No Smoking" sign here in the studio had absolutely no idea of the beauty that would take place in this space. . It's just a reminder of the real outside world; barely breaking the illusion of this insane atmosphere Thom creates with a piano. Incredible.
I noticed this too and was hoping someone else caught it. The parallel you speak of is one I wish appeared more often. That in between feeling like two realities are merging. It's hauntingly beautiful. Depending on how much you appreciate the world we live in, it can be deeply saddening or melancholic. I find it's most apparent when you exit a movie theater, or finish binge-watching a series. As long as you're fixated enough to forget your body, departing can be jarring.
I just cry every time I listen to this amazing tune.
My absolute favourite Radiohead song ever - the mystic, the rythm. Purely startling. Enlightening
You can hear the real rhythm of the song by listening to the sound his feet makes as he taps them. Incredible.
please don't ever let this get taken down or something. this is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard
Have to take a deep breath after watching this
This song. This version. It made me able to say goodbye to my mother who died while not able to say goodbye. She taught me how to find solace in music. I keep reaching back to this whenever I miss her. Thanks for this.
The way Thom plays the piano here reminds me a lot of John Cale, who had such an influence on other musicians, but still is massively underrated.
This song, and this version, both leave me nearly breathless.
I listen to this song every time I am alone and sad and honestly it makes everything seem okay. Dying alone doesn't seem so scary now, I loved you all the best I could. I swear you meant the world to me and I thank you for it.
Finally, he said "it's too late"
this is so hauntingly beautiful.i can't help but cry a little each time :'(
Supreme god of music....
Not only is this the most perfect performance of anything ever, but then he's all awkward at the end too. Thom Yorke, you are too great a creature for this insignificant little planet.
He's a genius...
SO, SO PURE...
I’ll always think of an amazing friend who took his own life last year, this song hits deep. RIP John ❤️
5 years later, still always touching 😢
I first listened to this song when I was on a car ride with my mom when we were in Florida at Mayo Clinic for my fibromyalgia. She broke her ankle that night and for the next week I was taking care of my mom while I was in extreme pain and stress from doing so many tests. I felt horrible because I wanted to take care of my mom but all I could do was try my best to not break down and cry from the stress and my depression wasn’t helping. 5 years later I’m still listening to this song and I still remember that week. I love Radiohead I love thom Yorke and I love In Rainbows...
I even have a shirt of the album
I want this played at my funeral
I want this song at my funeral!
Me too
I've been searching for this version for a while. I heard this version before I heard the album one and this one has a special place for me. Just something about the intimacy of it, the tempo, the way he sings and the slightly different lyrics makes it more emotional for me. The "after it's too late" line really kills me and it makes me sad that they took it out and shortened that whole section.
Im going to be the reason this song gets a million views .. it may take a bit, but we'll get there
Never a single commercial for this song... ?
The most beautiful masterpiece of all time. It’s insane how talented Thom is... I have no words.
One of the biggest inspirations of my whole life. Thank you Thom Yorke
I miss you my friend.... everyday.
The first time I heard this live I cried like I was at my own funeral it was so fuckin intense. I felt no shame I just sobbed
This shit hits the feels hard no shame in crying
Since Kurt he's the only musician that has my utmost respect..
@Matt Wyman Because he doesnt try to be like he is and because of his special performances..
This is a great one! Timeless! Thanks Thom and Izzad for sharing!
este video debería tener millones de visitas...Es una joya..simplemente maravilloso thom
omg memories hit me so hard
Beautiful tune.
You are my centre when I spin away.
How he made his millions
after he made his millions
Tears of amusement by how genuine he is.
Love this song, is beautiful.
I wont be afraid. Because i know, today has been the most perffect day , i've ever seen
Masterful. Pure and simple.
Everyone knows about the syncopation now, but you can see that Tom starts on beat 1 and then begins hitting the and of 2 and 4.
Thank you Thom
Best version in my opinion
I noticed that he was humming the melody of Karma Police in the end
Mario's Absolute Cringefest wow I cant hear that? Which part? EDIT: woops never mind i see this was from two years ago
@@partlyironic I think they meant 3:44
I think I was humming the guitar's part of Greenwood. In that years they played a different version of Videotape in live.
You are my center when I spin away .. Out of control ❤️
The talented Mr. Yorke ♥
damn..!
the pain is just too great.
artistically painful song..
Everytime i watch this i have to cry for no reason
Song is a milestone for them kicking ass on all levels
It's kind of ironic because I sent this song to my ex via messenger, but the day I sent it to her she wasn't able to see it. Then the next day she broke up with me and saw the message days after that. I guess I was "talking to her after it was too late".
good
What, because you killed yourself?... isn’t this song about a suicide tape?
Not necessarily suicide, but there is the direct implication of death with the references to Mephistopheles.
I personally feel that the line, "No matter what happens now, I won't be afraid, because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen", suggests that it's not about suicide, but rather about a final passing, a last breath, the end of a long battle, or perhaps someone going to face what is likely to be their doom.
k normie be glad u even had a friend of the opposite sex
i love you thom yorke
Perfect best song to calm me down
This song makes me cry
Beautiful
When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape, my videotape
When Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red, blue, green, in red, blue, green
You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
[Verse 2]
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you before-
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen
this guy is a f..kin gifted.
When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
'Cause I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen
There's a slight change to the lyrics in this version:
This is my way of saying goodbye
'Cause I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape
Absolutely! Beginning at 2:23. This is the most complete version of the song, with full lyrics that add a measure to the section. I've only ever heard this version with Thom playing solo... wonder why not with the full band?
Fucking hero!
Still makes me cry.
stunning
damn, the tone of that piano is totally gorgeous, i want to play it.
made me cry....
He is so heartbroken , it feels as a doleful infinite cry ....
HE PLAYS FROM THE HEART
Timeless
He is a genius
Pure genius
Thom could sing the phone book and it would make me cry.
this song is very sad :(
Gave me chills
Not yet remembered - Brian Eno
Thom… I feel.
this man is too much
To play at my funeral.
Syncopation
yess
WHO IS SYNCO PATION AND WHAT DOES HE DO
Insane they through out the rising and falling middle section on in rainbows
It’s so funny that he doesn’t know what to do after he has the song finished
genius
My Kid A Mnesia book came signed.
Know this. In 1997 OK computer started my life.
Wild horses will never take my book. I think about it all the time! Is this weird?
Superrrrr
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
Ok computer Tenang😌
bury me to this
What happened to the original 'green' version of this?? I can't find the video anymore :( :( :( The lowfy added to the mix ahah
✨
My cat died. He was the coolest cat, so I came here.
I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I hope things start looking up for you soon
This song is syncopated
Mostrou
I’ll play this at my funeral
Keeping that syncopated rhythm with your foot whilst playing 'on the off' on the piano and singing isn't that tough really
Fuck it's hard to even tap along to
@@mymorningzion I'm sure that was sarcasm.
Wooosh?
It’s hard for sure. Notice even Thom couldn’t fully do it (his first piano hit is on beat 1 and then the syncopation starts) With a little bit of practice you begin to feel it though. The vocal rhythm sounds more regular (I find this version to be one of the easiest to lock into though.
If it was easy everyone would do it.
Guys, playing it syncopated isn’t hard. Hearing it syncopated is the tough part.
You can hear it like that in this version cause he plays the first chord on beat 1 and then swaps to the and
"esta es una por lo buenos días..."
