This is my new favorite Radiohead song. So short but has me in so much emotion everytime I hear it. Every nerve just wants to explode. I was in tears a while a ago just listening to the Actual song.
Ahhhhhhhhh Max, the first time I heard this I actually welled up- huge Radiohead fan and play piano myself (not this well unfortunately)- so for me- was not being sarcastic-
The chord just after 4:15 is some sort of Bmaj7 chord. You can pretty much play all the black keys with a B in the bass and you’ll find something similar.
lyrics: Hey it's me I just got off the train A frightening place Their faces are concrete grey And I'm wondering, should I turn around? Buy another ticket Panic is coming on strong So cold, from the inside out No great job, no message coming in And you're so small Glassy eyed light of day Glassy eyed light of day The path trails off And heads down a mountain Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads I don't really care And the path trails off And heads down a mountain Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads I don't really care I feel this love to the core I feel this love to the core
I love your covers so much. Radiohead is my absolute favorite band and ive always wanted piano covers to listen to whilst doing homework and finally someone made them happen. Thank you!
I was listening to this song around the time my mum passed away last year - brings back so many memories. Mostly sad but the melody is also beautiful too. That's the power of Radiohead's music I think - it's both beautiful but there is a deep underlying strain of melancholia there. Sometimes overbearingly so. Thank you for sharing this. Look forward to the songbook, if it ever sees the light of day....
Hi Matthew, sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for watching though and I'm glad you've connected with the interpretations. I received approval from my publisher this week to release my songbook, so you can find out more info and sign up to my mailing list at joshcohenmusic.com/pianocovers. Wishing you all the best.
Dear Josh, Thanks for your reply and great to hear that your songbook has been approved. I'm also a huge fan of Tom Waits and struggled to figure out some of his great songs - San Diego Serenade (beautiful song) and Ol' 55 among others. As for Radiohead, do you have a version of spinning plates? I love the live piano version of that song - really nice and a different feel from the album version. I will be studying your glass eyes video to learn how to play the song. Also, I might purchase a copy of your book when it comes out. Looking forward to it!
Hi Matthew, I haven't had a deep look at Spinning Plates just as yet. It's been on my list for a while now - I just need to find the time to have a play through it. Thanks for your support and glad the clips are useful. All the best!
Hey it's me I just got off the train A frightening place The faces are concrete grey And I'm wondering, should I turn around? Buy another ticket Panic is coming on strong So cold, from the inside out No great drama, message coming in In the oh-so-smug Glassy eyed light of day Glassy eyed light of day Where the path trails off And heads down the mountain Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads I don't really care And the path trails off And heads down a mountain Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads I don't really care I feel this love to the core I feel this love to the core
I thought it was gonna be a normal experience but when i listened at the very first seconds, i felt an emotion. it was something new, something i never had. It reminds me of a game i played that meant a lot to me. This is soo beautiful. I love this.
I am starting piano lessons tomorrow. You inspire me everyday. Hope one day I can play as wonderfully as you. Radiohead is my fav band. Looking forward to the songbook. Thank you for this.
Well. I'm sure you've heard this a lot but 'creep' is a beautiful song but quite "guitary" (if that makes sense) so maybe. Otherwise I'm sure you've got so many songs in your queue and have had so much time to think. Either way the songs are great and I'm clicking on the notification as soon as a new video is out, so nothing is boring me and I'm sure no-one else either. Thanks, Matthew
+Matthew Gardner Glad to hear it Matthew. I've thought about Creep and can already play it, just unsure when I should introduce it into the mix. I think I heard they recently played it in one of their sets, did you hear about that?
Hi, sorry took so long to reply (Busy with school). No, I didn't hear that but I wouldn't be surprised if Thom Yorke had found out arrangements on piano.
Hi Benjamin, I'm definitely planning on covering this tune. Haven't started putting it together just as yet, but I think it will translate really well.
Josh - this is absolutely fantastic. I just replayed this multiple times, so beautiful. Thank you and no need to say, but keep going with Radiohead piano - incredible. Thank you.
This is the only channel that I susbcribed to which has its push notification switched on. I've never left a comment on any of your videos I think but I watched every single Radiohead cover that you make. Thank you for sharing them and please continue to do so!
My pleasure! You've already covered some of my favorites but I'd also love to see more. I do actually and well it's a long list, but here goes: Scatterbrain, You And Whose Army?, I Will, Separator, The Tourist, Give Up The Ghost and I think I'll cry if you cover Last Flowers or Bulletproof. Okay I'll stop here lol.
If that means there will be a volume 2, I’m all in! :) Thanks so much for these beautiful transcriptions, Josh - Im looking forward to diving into Vol. 1. 🙏
Awh. This song demands a grand piano, it just won’t sound the same on my electric. Beautiful playing, great effort on the vocal part, a lot of times that part gets phoned in. I think i’ll start learning to play it!
Please do put together a CD for me and other listeners to buy. At the very least make these covers available for digital download. Your arrangments not only capture the essence of Radiohead but add something new, intriguing and, well, captivating. And you play with such sensitivity that I can and do listen to these pieces over and again. It's the kind of music that helps me write and stops me writing in one shot!
Thanks, Andrew. I am currently working on this and will keep everyone posted as this develops. Glad that you've been enjoying the clips and thanks for supporting the channel :-)

This is my new favorite Radiohead song. So short but has me in so much emotion everytime I hear it. Every nerve just wants to explode. I was in tears a while a ago just listening to the Actual song.
It's one of my favourite tacks to play on the piano from AMSP 😄
STOP IT THIS IS MAKING ME CRY
I'm sorry.
It made me cry too
No Josh- it is a high compliment- beauty makes people cry sometimes
Janet Perreault sarcasm
Ahhhhhhhhh Max, the first time I heard this I actually welled up- huge Radiohead fan and play piano myself (not this well unfortunately)- so for me- was not being sarcastic-
The chord at 4:49. That's it. That's the perfect chord. You found it.
Ahh, the infamous Ebmaj9(add13) - a personal favourite! 😀
My favorite is 4:15. I don’t know what that chord is called, but it really sounds like how it feels when you have a sudden happy relevation.
The chord just after 4:15 is some sort of Bmaj7 chord. You can pretty much play all the black keys with a B in the bass and you’ll find something similar.
I wish I could play those intervals with my left hand :(
lyrics:
Hey it's me
I just got off the train
A frightening place
Their faces are concrete grey
And I'm wondering, should I turn around?
Buy another ticket
Panic is coming on strong
So cold, from the inside out
No great job, no message coming in
And you're so small
Glassy eyed light of day
Glassy eyed light of day
The path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
And the path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
I feel this love to the core
I feel this love to the core
This is my favourite song from this album.
Nice one :-)
Thom Yorke himself would cry watching this. This is brilliant!
This song is genious. Also the panning from left to right like the passing landscape viewed from a train.
I love your covers so much. Radiohead is my absolute favorite band and ive always wanted piano covers to listen to whilst doing homework and finally someone made them happen. Thank you!
+Bumblie Bee You're welcome. Glad you find them relaxing. Thanks for listening! JC
look up for Christopher O'Riley. He has two albums just of radiohead covers. He professionaly covering other bands also...
pseudofotograf I listened to Christopher's covers and they're cool, but Josh's covers are way more beautiful in my opinion :)
this is absolutely wonderful, thanks Josh
+Pan- pan You're welcome. Thanks for watching! JC
also i saw the project for the Raidiohead songbook, i love the idea
+Pan- pan Thanks! Let's hope I can get it off the ground :-)
This is a such a good Radiohead song. As a guitar player I would never think of how to play it. This performance makes sense. thank you.
I HATE how much I've loved your uploads!!!!! Stop being so great!!!! (Please, keep this trend going. I've yet to be disappointed.)
There will be plenty more clips to come 😄
I was listening to this song around the time my mum passed away last year - brings back so many memories. Mostly sad but the melody is also beautiful too.

Favorite song from my favorite album on my birthday! Never hit like quicker.
RobbieK77 Thanks! I was born in 2002.
+Judah Drury Happy anniversary of your birth! JC
Hey it's me
I just got off the train
A frightening place
The faces are concrete grey
And I'm wondering, should I turn around?
Buy another ticket
Panic is coming on strong
So cold, from the inside out
No great drama, message coming in
In the oh-so-smug
Glassy eyed light of day
Glassy eyed light of day
Where the path trails off
And heads down the mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
And the path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
I feel this love to the core
I feel this love to the core
that feeling at 4:00 is seriously so beautiful and physical, you really have a gift
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed the cover. All the best, Josh :-)
I thought it was gonna be a normal experience but when i listened at the very first seconds, i felt an emotion. it was something new, something i never had. It reminds me of a game i played that meant a lot to me. This is soo beautiful. I love this.
Call me crazy, but this song is pairing up perfectly with my metal gear game I'm playing. Goddamn beautiful cover, josh...
Haha, that's definitely the first time I've heard something like that. Glad it's working for you 😄
I haven't cried this much in a while.
Who keeps cutting onions in here? Great work!
+thecolorofcolour Glad you enjoyed the clip! JC
Glass onions
I am living for this
I am speechless this is so amazing you should be famous. This is my favorite song from radio head
The wait is over! It's absolutely beautiful 💜
Sorry about the delay, Lidya! JC :-)
Captured the dynamics perfectly.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Outstanding. Who would give this a thumbs down?? Some bloody people.
this song is so beautiful. I just read the comment about a Radiohead song book? I agree. the idea sounds amazing
Hi Christian, hopefully I can obtain the rights. Will keep everyone posted through my mailing list. Glad you enjoyed the clip. Cheers, Josh :-)
Amazing stuff. Can you do Jigsaw Falling Into Place, or Life In a Glass House next?
They are both on the list :-)
Awesome :) are Reckoner, Present Tense, Climbing Up The Walls, and Idioteque on the list as well?
+Alon Dotan Yep, certainly are :-)
you mentioned exactly my two other obsessions!
I am starting piano lessons tomorrow. You inspire me everyday. Hope one day I can play as wonderfully as you. Radiohead is my fav band. Looking forward to the songbook. Thank you for this.
This is what I want to be able to do.
Do you play at all?
Incredible work on probably the most moving song I know.
Very nice music, evanescent, sweet and dreaming chords.
WOW
One of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard 😌
i remember i asked you for this piano cover last year. and it is truly and deeply amazing as i thought it could be. thank you Josh
You're welcome Bruno. Sorry it's taken me a while to get round to this one. We got there in the end. Any other requests for upcoming clips? JC
Goosebumps

It's my fav song from AMSP and your version is stunning. Thanks for share.
You're welcome. I think Decks Dark will be next.

You're welcome, Benjamin. Glad you're enjoying the clips. Any requests for future covers? JC :-)
Would I be able to request 2+2=5? Had to put some thought into it since you've been at work on so many other great songs!
Hi Benjamin, I'm definitely planning on covering this tune. Haven't started putting it together just as yet, but I think it will translate really well.
I'm listening this cover every single day. Thanks man!
Wow....this is beauty for the ears

In terms of Radiohead songs... hmm, curious if you could make anything from 'Decks Dark'? Or perhaps 'Reckoner'? But anything you do is great!
Decks Dark has been requested a lot recently, so I'll start having a look at it this week. Thanks for your support James. Cheers, Josh :-)
my soul entered another dimension and broke my heart
This is love ..
Exquisite.

I would love to see that!!
simplemente maravilloso, tus dedos emiten poesia para el oido, creeme me dejas petrificado, un gran talento
Muchas gracias 😄
Curious why this isn’t included in your “Radiohead for Solo Piano” book - I’d’ve bought it for this arrangement alone. Beautifully done.
Maybe in the next volume!
If that means there will be a volume 2, I’m all in! :) Thanks so much for these beautiful transcriptions, Josh - Im looking forward to diving into Vol. 1. 🙏
I'e been waiting for this one :)
Nice one, hope you enjoy it! JC
stunning
Awh. This song demands a grand piano, it just won’t sound the same on my electric. Beautiful playing, great effort on the vocal part, a lot of times that part gets phoned in. I think i’ll start learning to play it!
Just great, as always!
+Felipe Oliveira Thanks very much Felipe! JC
