The fact that this was filmed in my neighborhood makes this even creepier lol this is what my walk home at night from the train looks like
Where exactly?
@@user-cn4ci5wx1she'll come to Birmingham, find out where it is, yeah?
you'll bite his fucking face of?
Lediga I’m a girl and live in Brooklyn square up bitch
Kh G.A was filmed in greenpoint and Bushwick in Brooklyn 👌🏻
@@newyorkkitty8307 frank is referencing a video.
When Radioheads leftovers are better than most artists one hit wonders
When Radiohead's left overs from OK Computer are better than their songs from KidA going forward.
You honestly think this beats "How To Disappear Completely"?? Or "Morning Bell"? Or fucking...."Wolf At The Door?" (just thinking of 3 random moments of brilliance in an exciting career...although I feel they fell off a bit after "IR", so maybe we're just the same...)
i remember your old league vids
Chode Master reeeallyyy :D sick
GabzitoHD yeah man still subbed man man
Maybe I'd watch more James Bond movies if they let Radiohead make the theme songs.
Mood
did you watch first season of Westworld? you will absolutely love the soundtrack ;D
Radiohead did made them a soundtrack for the movie spectre
So, basically this is everything thing in its right place from the front. K, got it🧐
The song spectre by radio head was originally intended to be for the movie but the studio Execs rejected the song for being to dark and went instead for sam Smith you can still listen to it
“We’ve been trying to contact you about your car’s warranty.’”
That's brilliant
🤣🤣🤣🤣
can you explain?
"Hey we got all these great songs, let's put them on our already great album."
"Nah, lets wait 20 years and then release them."
😂😂😂
A LITTLE IS ALL IT TAKES. A LITTLE IS ALL IT TAKES
You can't just put dozens of great songs on one album, unless you want to release a double or triple album, but Radiohead doesn't seem like that type of band.
i am certain that there are hundreds of Radiohead songs not on CD. perhaps they can create a box set of C and D sides. Question: can creativity backfire?
@@typhoonproductions4528 a little bit of faith goes a long way. Bruce Dickinson said that and many before him.
This is honestly one of the most well-made music videos I’ve ever seen. The whole concept symbolizes something in my view. One of the most obvious points is the drastic difference in tone and cinematography between the “day” and the “night” sequences. From the beginning “night” is established as the anxiety-inducing, paranoid, and lonely atmosphere. This is very masterfully contrasted with the presence of people in the “day” sequence. The man has interactions with the people around him (the woman walking past him, the bike rider dropping a phone). But slowly these two realities start to merge together and the safety margin created by the brightness and normality of the “day” sequence is starting to fade. The man starts acting out “night” actions in the day (looking back for no reason, dodging a nonexistent car). This is exactly the place where you can’t trust any of the realities anymore.
All this was to preface my main point: in tandem with the title of the song “Man of War”, I believe the music video visualizes PTSD and paranoia.
The “day” sequence is real life and the main character has actually interacted with his surroundings. However, his mind, paranoia, and PTSD has caused an alternate “night” timeline, which slowly starts to converge into reality. At the end, he can’t distinguish what is real or fake anymore (the turning point is when he looks at a picture of himself in the phone…i.e. paranoia has kicked in).
The people following him so intently are a part of that fake reality he has created. These people within this world (his mind) try to creep into his life and take control. This is seen initially when we can see a shadow following him in the “day” sequence. Gradually, a whole physical appearance pops up and the people following him increases.
I symbolize these people as the trauma and mental scars that the main characters has to carry. No matter what he does, he can never get rid of them. He is scared of them. Terrified. He tries ignoring them and running from them, but they always remain within a constant distance away from him. At the end, he trips over and…nothing happens. The people, his trauma and guilt is part of him, following him but not there to physically hurt him. He can never get rid of them, except to accept their presence and coexist with them.
At the end, the man is distraught but calmer. He realizes that he can never escape his mind and these presences attached to him, but just maybe he won’t have to run away from them at all.
At 2:09 when the phone was dropped, it had shown a picture of the man sitting on the bench.
It's not paranoia, he was definitely being watched and targeted. As for what, idk.
This is how I feel. All the time.
watch angel by massive attack litterally the same exact thing
still good tho not tryna shite on yuh
tl;dr
I have CPTSD and your description here is spot on. Love your interpretation of the video.
That guitar solo just gives me goosebumps everytime. Jonny Greenwood is a genius lead guitarist. 🎸🧠
wdym Jonny marr the lead guitarist is johnny greenwood
@@sarcasmisreal5550 lol my mind was fucced up while typing that. I mixed it with Johnny Marr from The Smiths. But still, both are great guitarists. 🎸❤️
Dude this just happened to me
@@tristan_840 true both goated guitarists
I think the video could also tell a story about PTSD, and not just anxiety as people are saying. A man of war that has flashbacks of the people he's killed whenever the video switches from day to night. The man can't get over the guilt as they chase him, and eventually he can't tell what is real and what is just another nightmare he's having, so he starts seeing them in real life. At the end, the man stops running and realizes that there's nothing he can do about it, so he comes to terms with it, living with the burden.
I totally agree.
wow....
The way I see is it’s a song about paranoia/schizophrenia, but i like your explanation a lot
@@CrazyPartyCreep I also thought the clip is about paranoid schizophrenia.
"noooo you dont understand i hav anxiety and depression all art has to be about MEEEEEEEE"
Twist ending: he's actually the guy from the Just video; they've been chasing him for the past 22 years asking why he was lying there XD
Rainy Jane lol
i was kinda expecting it to be the guy from the karma police after the "I Promise" video.
This comment is pure gold
Love that x
You are officially nominated for comment of year, **applause** completely feasible in the collective mind of Radiohead
I'm grateful for living in the same space and time as Radiohead
Eduardo Moncada Awwwww! I know!
Eduardo Moncada YES.
Eduardo Moncada we too

ME TOO
I only recently started listening to Radiohead and Jesus Christ it’s like a higher plane of musical existence.
I wish I could have that feeling of finding them for the first time again. Best part is, I was extremely against them. I had heard about them for quite a while before ever trying them out, and I thought they’d be total garbage. Boy was I wrong.
@@ianbeach23 exact same for me
@Andrew Peterson he didn’t make albums idoit
Indeed. If muzak were a chemical concoction (aka "lil of this, some of that, etcetera etcetera" (wink wink TYork))...
If muzak were a mind, body, soul and spirit altering substance...its street name would be 'RADIOHEAD'
@Andrew Peterson he a jerk... your joke made me laugh
Jonny's guitar riff at 2:38 is pure genius.
Finally someone mentions it.
Always gives me goosebumps.
that classical influence baby
erm actually it is a lick not a riff
Anxiety takes over reality
hi
that's exactly what I thought, for me the lesson there is "do not freak out and the world won't either".
Henrique Gonzalez I don't think you understand what anxiety is
Will Mael I think that's why he said "for me"
totally Agreee
Haunting, dark, melancholic yet absolutely beautiful that's Radiohead for you.
I will never understand people that don't love Radiohead. They move me in a way that very few artists do.
They are living a very happy life I guess ? Therefore they cannot feel Radiohead.
Because their fans are cringy fake artsy donkeys who smell of cheese.
The video is basically showing the comparison between how you look on the outside, and how you feel on the inside, day and night. During the day, on the outside, he seems like a pretty nice guy, on the inside, he’s scared, running from something, he’s a fighter, and eventually, his night and day become one. The man of war pertains to the fact that he has a war of personas, and how his outside persona clashes with his feelings.
i interpreted it the same exact way
I interpret it as a war vet trying to escape his ptsd
This looks like a better interpretation, since its not only correct to the literal message of a war vet.
The moment you realize the entire video is a prequel to Karma Police.
kwizzeh 2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity.”) • “Respect and dignity, 2019?”
Holy fuck
Woaahahahshbfnend
damn
oh
I just realized that "The worms will come for you, Big Boots" is a reference to Hamlet, who basically says that everyone (including the rich and powerful) ends up in the same place, and being eaten by the same worms.
perhaps this is where the line that is similar in the wall came from??..
I don't think this is a reference to Hamlet but is instead simply a common theme and concept.
Good reference, this song is about soldiers being haunted by war
I think of it as more of a reference to Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Cant wait.
[Verse 1]
Drift all you like from ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
But drunken confessions and hijacked affairs
Will just make you more alone
[Verse 2]
When you come home I’ll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me dressed for the kill
[Chorus]
You’re my man of war
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
[Verse 3]
So unplug the phones, stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
To poison clouds and poisoned dwarves

I KNOW RIGHT

Realest comment ever posted
Okay, the song is amazing, but this mv is a masterpiece as well. This was *perfectly* done. That actor had some great body acting, the swerves, the shot of the shadow following our guy's shadow towards the beginning, before the two worlds started to merge more. The editing was timed so well. This was a masterful pleasure to watch.
The same
Agreed. I'm flabbergasted by the videography. Doing identical takes, with different light and variety! Wow
Agreed
Lol the actor isnt an actor its just thom
@@roobartpie that ain't thom lmfao
This video is a beautiful metaphor for what anxiety feels like
Its not even a metaphor it shows directly
It's actually more PTSD, and the people following him are the people he killed; constantly haunting him until he stops running from them.
I think this is a lot deeper than anxiety
Hey, that's my line
Or genuine psychosis.
Listening to this once: Me, "ah, a nice song".
Listening twice: "ah, great"
Listening many times: "Amazing, this is addictive".
Perfect post-Bends, pre-OK Computer song
Right now, I'm at the "Amazing, this is addictive" part.
@@edgalexmtz ive been at that part for well over a year now haha
@@jamers505 haha now that I have read your comment, I'm going to listening right away! Thank you!
A small, but brilliant inclusion: When the lead picks up the phone dropped by the bicyclist and later checks it, he sees a picture of himself on the bench reading the paper. It adds to the paranoia, confusion, fear and impending Doom of the anxiety and of the facade of normalcy he tries to put up during the daylight shots. Sheer genius is this video!
@Hunter Vonnegut no
And the phone probably didn't show anything
@@douwehuysmans5959 I played at .25 speed and went frame by frame and found that the "day" phone showed a picture of what could presumably be the lady who dropped the phone in the first place, and in the "night" shots showed no picture at all until the shot where he drops the phone.
It's difficult to explain to people what it's like to wait twenty years for something. Some of you reading haven't even been alive that long. But that's how long us hardcore Radiohead fans have waited for Man Of War. This song has been known to Radiohead fans for all this time. We heard it in live performances we were lucky enough to attend, in rare, scratchy, ethereal bootlegs of live shows we couldn't get to. You can see them developing this song in the studio in the film "Meeting People Is Easy." And with every release since OK Computer, all of us have been hoping we'd finally hear a studio version of this song. Well, we have it now, and they absolutely did not disappoint. This was worth waiting twenty years for. And that this song smokes everything else being put out by other artists today? That's just a teensy cherry in an avalanche of cherries on a very big and delicious cake.
Nice profile picture
Cheers! Forever a fan of the Wasteland. And Star Wars. And Saturday Night Live :D
Hey man do you know where i can listen the old version? And thank you for the data.
I remember someone sharing this song on TH-cam by the name Big Boots previously.
Totally agree, man! :) It sounds like it could totally be the opening song of a James Bond flick!
A friend of mine recently committed suicide and in his final social media post he included a link to this song. He was using it as a symbol of strength. But unfortunately he has now taken his life. I do hope that this song can continue to inspire others and serve as a message of hope and strength. Especially in these tough times. Rest in peace, my friend.
Part of my fucking soul is gone man. Campbell saw me at my worst on several occasions, never judged me once. I tried my best to help him at the end, but it was fucking Campbell man, nobody was going to tell him what to do.
fuck man
Feelings can feel insurmountable . Regret especially can make it hard to live with oneself on a daily basis .... RIP
:(
RIP although he took his own life he still probably helped many people with what he did. Absolute hero
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you
The fact that even the bonus tracks on OK Computer are still incredible pieces of music is just a testament to how good Radiohead is
THIS song didn't make the album? LOL some other band would put this out as the first single! Amazing song.
Cinema Garmonbozia You could say the same thing about a lot of their b-sides! Some of their 'throwaway' songs are better than many popular bands' best efforts!
Yeah, it's like how Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered was still one of the better rap albums of the year.
they could've easily replaced fitter happier with man of war and the album would be 200% better
Sahand Edrisian what's wrong with fitter happier?
I'm glad they didn't. Fitter Happier is iconic and helps cement OK Computer as the best album of the 1990's (or of all time, if you're like me and think OK Computer is the single greatest album ever recorded).
Radiohead is killin it with all these music videos
John Brubaker just... don't.
Mixtape Troy wait. why did you saay beatles?
since 94
I like how in the music video the main guy's paranoia follows him into the day, too. First, it's just the night, the darkness, then it just becomes constant fear and paranoia. Just like the real thing. Well done.
To me it is all reality. I'm an attractive petite woman who looks approachable. When I walk down the streets of my city 😢 approach me in many different ways. It ranges from giving me roses, asking to take a selfie with me (I'm recognized for the unusual volunteer work I do), or they want to flirt. Some turn into stalkers that threaten and assault me. I've become afraid to walk on roads. The last stalker actually followed me to the Police Dept, but took off while the police were helping someone else.
I love the fact he is being chased by a gang of not particularly threatening drama students 😂
Lol, they are actually sopposed to be all the people he has killed but funny
@@mop_dadoor8024 wait what
The wonderful thing about Radiohead, nobody can ever decide what song or album is best. You don’t see that very often. I personally love this song and the meaning behind it. Of course, it’s hard to pick a favorite.
Agreed...their massive and amazing portfolio-- complete and total changes in musical/thematic concepts from album to album-- I believe is what sets RH apart from nearly EVERY group of their generation...their musical mastery emboldened by their undanted aversion to remaining stagnant/"no risk, no reward" approach diverse discology generates an overall appeal reaching an ever widening group of listeners...
Not true. Ok computer and paranoid android
i'd say animal collective is like that. spirit they've gone is the best one tho
@@boazliebes nah
Every big artist is this same fucking way
even with their 'unreleased' material, Radiohead is better than most band out there
*All
This rarities are better then all albums after Ok computer
eka riski Every band always 😀
Whoa... I respect your opinion, but don't mix up taste with quality please.
The vast majority of Radiohead's most brilliant songs are to be found on the six most recent albums.
eka riski Its incredible... and its Stolf fresh
During my final years in college I began to struggle with severe anxiety and panic attacks.
To me, this music video is the perfect representation of how I felt at that time.
The ending as well suggest, at least to me, the same lesson I learned at the end of that period. That is, most of the time you're just running away from yourself; and if you manage to stop, you'll find out that there was nothing really serious to worry about in the first place.
Hope you guys are doing okay, stay safe and strong everybody.
Hi I recommend checking out a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
thanks friend. Thank you very much it was what I needed I am living the same but at school.I'm not going to give up
Yes me too, but I have to dropout cause of this "condition" my sponsor stop my scholarship and have to resign from college
that's rough, wish you the best, it's tough but you can power through it
2:25 the way he says "yeah yeah yeah" is so satisfying

youre man of lyric
It's not stop all the tap, it's stop all the chatter...
I think it's big boobs, not boots
Shouldn't it be "To poison clouds and to poisoned wharves"? As in the plural of "wharf".
I like the idea that the day is how he is on the outside and the night is how he feels on the inside. On the outside he's a confidant and happy looking man who is nice enough to run after someone to give them their phone back. On the inside he's an anxious man who's always worried about what others think and is constantly running from himself. "The worms will come for you, Big Boots."
A reminder that all people have their problems and in the end, no matter how powerful you are, you end up in the ground just the same
but eventually it happens at the day too,u have any idea of that
do you know where this is filmed?
The End Is Near : u mom gay
that's the best comment for this song.

as someone with severe amnesia and dissociative disorder, this music video hits an emotion that i rarely get to feel through art. it's something so visceral and personal, as i'm sure it is to everyone, but specifically from someone with the experience of DID... wow

This is definitely old school Radiohead.
I agree, and Luckily my soul can breathe again. For a minute there, they lost myself.
Pik wait, but the ep shut up and dance used another radiohead song. (You are talking about black mirror right?)
Souless Memelord exactly. Thats why im asking what is he talking about
Kid A and i love the old school radiohead
Props to the directors and their staff making the Radiohead music videos! They do a wonderful job!
Amazing song. It’s a testament to Radiohead’s greatest that they never even deemed this song worthy to put on an album.
Mental. Radiohead are just on a completely different level.

Welcome.
Arguably the greatest rock band of the last 35 years. All their albums, from OK Computer on, have been warnings we still refuse to heed.
i like u u seem nice, be blessed forever.
James Bond wishes he had this as a theme song.
Spectre too
Haha I totally agree! Always thought this would make a great Bond movie theme song.
@@SoulShines4U Fun fact: This song was originally made as an homage to James Bond themes back in the 90's. A version was recorded for the original Avengers, but abandoned. In 2015, Radiohead were commissioned to make a Bond theme for Spectre and pitched this. The production team liked it, but rejected it when they learned that it wasn't an original song and thus wasn't eligible for an Academy Award for Best Original Composition.
Radiohead then halted production of Moon Shaped Pool to write "Spectre," which was rejected for being too melancholy.

This band is what convinced me to become a musician no matter what.
As someone with social anxiety this is exactly how i feel when i'm around people , my mind just stops working completly i can't concentrate i look dumb trying to make myself look as normal as i can, i start sweating like crazy , my heart starts pumping and it feels like shit i feel like everyone is judging me or making fun of me, i know i'm not dumb but this fucking anxiety makes me look awkward af i hate it man ... I can kind of stand being with someone i trust like one on one but as soon as we enter a crowded place my anxiety pops
When you're just trying to maintain social distancing
😂😂😂🤣🤣
Lmaaaoo
i laughed way too hard at this comment lmao
Hahahahahhaha
...but the Karens are onto you.
Hearing this brought me to tears. I love the music Radiohead makes now, and admire how they have evolved...but hearing this song was like running into an old friend you haven't seen in decades. You want the moment to last forever, but you know it can't. This brought me so many feelings and made me feel like I was 22 again. Thank you Radiohead.
Who B'stanky My thoughts exactly. It's like getting closure on a story you never heard finish. Cheers
I promise did that to me.
Thanks for summarizing what I was feeling but didn't know how to put words to.
This. God, all of this.
love.
I am deeply grateful to have lived in the same era as this band
this video is a cinematic masterpiece
Hi I recommend a new indie album here on youtube called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
The fact that, somehow, this is the kind of thing that got rejected on OK Computer never ceases to amaze me.
jackbrabham wasnt there something about them pitching a song for James Bond once? I think this might have been that song....
I think that one was Spectre
It would appear you are right... too bad they didn't get it :) and very cool that their sound could potentially carry being a JB title song 18 years ahead in time :O
OmniFilmDK This song was pitched for James Bond but it was around since 1995. They tried pitching it for spectre in 2015 but we're denied because it wasn't made especially for the film and they couldn't nominate the movie for best orignal song if they did. After that radiohead made a whole new song just for the movie called spectre which was also denied because the producers for the movie said it was too sad and dark.
When your 20-year-old rejects are still better than 95% of everybody's else's brand new songs....

I’ve seen some replies to a comment saying Radiohead has fallen off a little… they haven’t fallen off, they’re just growing old and it’s hard to do things in general when you’re old. If anything their work is more impressive now than ever because of the longevity of Radioheads determination
the way this was filmed baffles me. these transitions are flawless, i wonder how they did them
Well, it's actually pretty simple in a way, they recorded two scripts, one in the day and the other one at night, , just changing some litle things (for example, instead of walking confident, walk with fear) to add a different vibe from eachother.
This is why the cuts feels natural, because they are 2 scripts of the same section.
@@hollowburrito99 yeah, but still. the guy in the video, while he's running in the day, literally only moves a hand and THEN he moves that same hand, in the same speed, like it was the last shot. It's unbelievably continuous and hard to pull of with snap shots. you'd have to be super precise and aware of what you are doing.
Humans are unpredictable and these 2 takes aren't right after each other anyway, all this needed some real skills to achieve
@hollowburrito99 it would certainly take tremendous skill to do it without noticable cuts. Human eye registers 24 frames per second.
This sounds like if Radiohead were asked to do the theme for a Bond movie
SNES drunk They already tried their hand on two songs "Nobody does it better" and "Spectre" :]
same first impression ,lol just commented that now have seen other realised this lol
SNES drunk You have raised a very interesting point!
Yeah that's what I thought
SNES drunk I said the exact same
it's like he was a murderer and he's running away from the memory of all the people he's killed
Then what if he is the man in the 'Just' video and the people who died in that video are these memories chasing him now..
mdbee5 ohhhh now I like this video
Man of war. He returned from war.
Being watching this vid since it's release, and it just gets better and better, what an absolute masterpiece.
I only came across this song and video a couple of months ago and was hooked after only one listen. Both the music and the video are masterpieces and so powerful. The video is quite disturbing and so well done.

yeah dude, that's the hard part.
i think they just had the camera on rails, so that it did the exact same route for both night and day and just added a preset that resembles handholding on post
I think that they shot the day scene all at once then the night scene and then spliced together where they needed to. Amazing video none the less, why do so many Radiohead leave so many questions unanswered...
The video reminds me a lot of the deraealisations I used to have. From to subtle 'trying to walk it off' to literally running to a place of safety in fear.
this band changed my life
How did this song go unreleased...
And ok computer was their best album without this song , wow.
Eagerly waiting for the whole OKNOTOK bonus disc to release 😍😍
Jaikrishnan Menon what's on the bonus disk?
Jaikrishnan Menon it doesn't really fit the OK computer dynamic, that's why it wasn't released. This is more like the tracks in the bends, which naturally radiohead were trying to progress from. It's a great song though
Oh God I can't believe they didn't release this earlier, its a masterpiece.
And the video is hauntingly brilliant.
I'm not a person that cries easily, almost never. And I have watched this video many many times in the past, but I have just returned to it again and at Some point I just broke in tears like a little baby scared of something idk what is it exactly, I don't know why, this never happend before
I love to think how it is clear why it was unnecessary to add it to OK Computer and at the same time the song by itself is purely perfect
Here's my interpretation of the vid. It started with a seesaw of somewhat normal moods during daytime and spurts of anxiety at night. Later, it didn't matter whether it was night or day. His anxiety (the guys chasing him) grew until they eventually caught up with him at the rails (I remember a line from Nude - "You've gone off the rails" but I'll explain the reference later). Since the guys drove him mad, he had to know whether they were really after him or they were merely "there". He came to realize they were never there to specifically cause any REAL harm to him. Notice when he stopped running and started walking, the guys started walking too. Back to the "off the rails" reference, he finally decided to WALK "along the rails" which means he made peace with himself because he learned that his FEAR was irrational and will just make him go "off the rails". By the looks of it, he seemed OK at the end of the vid.
Could it also be a case where the man is, in fact, dead without realizing it? At some point, it seems like that fever-dream-like state of delirium insinuates a lost perception of time. The further the video progressed, the less aware other people became of his presence, starting around the time the lady's phone fell out her pocket. The only one paying him any attention is the other dead chasing him down. Perhaps the lyrics "drift all you like" and the later "off the rails" reference could be the beginning and end told in reverse order.
Again, another indication of time-dilation, not only represented by the time lapse of day and night but also in the lyrical content. He possibly died from some sort of accident, perhaps at the end on the train tracks by an incoming train. The rest of the people chasing him were simply other dead people trying to awaken him to this fact and it wasn't until he "drifted" back to the origin of his death that he calms down and walks along with them. He accepts them and drifts together.
Maybe this video is him reliving his last moments in a purgatory-like state?...... or maybe I just overthought the whole thing (the most likely possibility) and the video is just fucking awesome.

Love your interpretation!! 🖤
+Championette What about that white statue thing sitting on the sidewalk
I think it could be a symbolic experience of a guy who experiences PTSD in public after coming back from war (Man of War), and the people running are normal looking but his PTSD kicks in and he fears they are after him. It could also be symbolic for someone battling them selves inside their consciousness, until eventually they realize everything is okay.
It was a man (at daytime) and turned into what appears to be a mannequin (at nighttime). I took that scene at 2:51 to mean that as his anxiety became severe, he's had trouble telling which is REAL and which is not. In short, he began to lose touch with REALITY.
This is just a video of everyone last year chasing after them Radiohead concert tickets.
Radioheads fans trying to be like thom in daydreaming
I just realized every cut is in time to the music. Man... It's amazing.
that beginning makes my soul go crazy oh my gosh thank you so much
same ☹️☹️
"Man Of War" video in 1 word: Paranoid
"I Promise" video in 1 word: Android
O__O
oh my god.
sps26 oh my.......
You'd better hide.
Few people who knew about this didn't count it.

"When you come home, I'll bake you a cake. Made of all their eyes." Absolutely haunting! Incredible!
i love that line so much
What does it mean
My interpretation is that at home, you get privacy and comfort which is the 'cake', you might not get that same feeling outside because you are almost constantly being watched when in public. So in a sense, the 'eyes' of the public end up becoming the ingredient of the 'cake' that lets you feel relief or relaxed when you arrive home. Eating the same 'eyes' that made you feel uncomfortable when you were outside.
Seems to me like a song about a soldier returning from war and getting PTSD. When you return life gives you a cake (gift) made from all the eyes of the people that died.
crimge ass hampster
Both the song and the editing of this video are absolutely brilliant
This is just bloody brilliant, both song and video. Another radiohead masterpiece.
*You are all so absolutely brilliant, you've saved my life countless times. Your music has followed me since I was 14 years old. Thank you for always being there when I need you, Radiohead.*
Karuna Satori ASMR Nice story. How old are you now?
i know you probaly hear this every day, but im your biggest fan. I even got the underground shit that you did with stan
You're, "prayer" came true LOL..... But Thom will avoid you from now on
I agree.They changed my life too
funny seeing you here
It sounds like the perfect hybrid of The Bends and OK Computer, I love it.
because it's from OKcomputer maybe
Filip Znaor agree. Hearing My Iron Lung and Paranoid Android at the early verses
I thought of "My Iron Lung" too as soon as I heard Thom's singing the first couple of words.
with a pinch of amsp
Sounds like something you'd hear on a Radiohead album
The feeling this song gives me is indescribable, its like an enigma, it makes me feel things i didn't know i could feel
Everything about this is amazing. The music video and the music itself. It's amazing. Definitely one of my favorite music videos of all time
Another masterpiece is brought upon us. Thank you Radiohead
I would have thought Ron would be a Radiohead fan, with his being against the government and all, ha ha.
Omar Mickelson "they don't speak for us"
Ron . son of swan . man of war man-0-war
That's a stretch. It's good but far from mind blowing.
Halil Caglayan What's that? I don't understand your Durka Durka language.
fuck why are they so good
Moo
'Cause they don't give a shit and just love music
cause they're radiohead?
Violently Sappy love the name. is it a bjork/nirvana thing?
Don't give a shit and love music ? how is that appropriate
Cazken
How is anything appropriate?
To me, one of the best music video ever.
Hi I recommend a new indie album right here on youtube called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
One of my favorite radiohead songs ever.
Is the guy running away wearing the same clothes as the guy running in the Karma Police video? A deliberate reference?
LetterBeacon definitely- the unbuttoned sleeves give it away. I'm expecting a reference to the no surprises music video if the do a music video for Lift
Yeah and the robot head in "I Promise" was wearing a beanie like the guy in the Paranoid Android video.
but the guy in the paranoid android video is from a Swedish cartoon series
Robin by Magnus Carlsson. Wonderful stuff.
So good
This cinematography is gorgeous👌🏻
as a cinema buff myself, yeah man this is good
Jake MacDonagh particularly that first cut to night yum
Can anyone tell if this is shot on film or digital? Looks like film to me
This song actually tell us, that every men mostly have 2 dimension of World on their life. One is real and one is kinda feel real, and We haunted with the 'kinda feel real' ones every time. Most of them call this sickness as Depression.
I had a seizure trying to read this. plz fix that English.
@@cezarzbughin3362 some people aren't native speakers, leave them be
but ... no version is real at the end of the day
Just cuz you feel it doesn’t mean it’s there
@@acreativename7999 True, but native or not it's better to speak english somewhat fluently. I don't think i gave him a bad advice at all.
I utterly love the directing and camera work in this video. So smooth, so nice, so damn good.
Ok computer should have been a double album. All the bonus tracks are gold. I think this is one the best songs they have ever written
Andii Rejino wait, this is a bonus track from ok computer? That'll be why it reminded me of karma police then...
zyzix yup, took a long time to be finished and released but it is a part of OK Computer, it has that distinctive sound I love
I didn’t know you could make ok computer any better, But oknotok did it.
This came out in 2002. Its not the b-sides of "OK Computer". But damnit it should have been.
Yeah, if there was another disc to OK computer with man of war, lift, I promise, pearly, Polyethylene, lull, meeting in the isle, melatonin, how I made my millions, Palo Alto and A reminder it would be amazing
Edit: I'm stupid, that's literally the second disc of OKNOTOK, I never even realised, I thought it all live stuff. Well, guess who just bought a copy of OKNOTOK :P
This is EXACTLY what living with PTSD is like, it's so hard to describe in words but this video does so excellently.
Chris Evans you're overdramating it...
Chris Evans that's a fascinating take, hard not to make the connection if u've been affected by PTSD.
Research "Transcendental Meditation PTSD" or on David Lynch Foundation site, Chris and don't be afraid to try ...
poor_youtuber Overdramating isnt a word pal.
You hit the nail on the head, Chris! Losing track of time, feeling like things are chasing you, running in panic mode constantly, and being uncomfortable with your situation and in your own skin, felling like its you vs. them...these have been my experiences with PTSD.
This song introduced me to Radiohead. Can’t get enough of these guys.
"Rejected for being too dark"
What a joke.
Edit: I know it was Spectre but "What if" this was that.
so? cry about it
that wasn't this song
@@lupa3041 but I prefer this one.
@@janantoni3 this wasn't the song thay was rejected for being too dark. it was spectre
wrong song, buddy. that was Spectre.
My ears had been blessed again, thanks Radiohead!
I don't want to live in a world without Radiohead
Me too
Slowly becoming one of my favourite songs
same, its just so catchy. fuckin love radiohead
The duality of this is amazing!
