That their trademarks, every album is a surprise. I f want something really interesting try “Kid A” or “Everything In It’s Right Place” both from their 4th album “Kid A”. You will be amazed.
@penderyn8794 it's about a man committing suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning and removing the carbon monoxide alarm beforehand so he can die peacefully
Radiohead are one of the greatest bands. Very complex, but beautiful guitar and lyrics. Check out 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)' and 'High and Dry'. Two of my favourites.
I am so happy that you have revisited Radiohead, for me they are one of the most important bands to have come out of the UK and have certainly provided a soundtrack to my life, Since Pablo Honey was released back in 1993. Their output is unique, experimental, thought-provoking, heart breaking and often deeply beautiful. Like Amber's favourite, Pink Floyd, they are a band worthy of constant re-examination, relistening to their music brings insight and a deeper appreciation of quite how brilliant they are. I liked what Jay said "beautifully deep"....
The words to this song are powerful! I have gone through depression & difficult times, especially this past year being chronically ill & losing friends/family (dying too soon) just shattered me. I first listened to this album over two decades ago as someone brought me to their concert on a first date, it was amazing.
The song is literally about the euphoria...happiness...relief??... a person feels once they decide to end it. Thankfully not too many people have had to experience this mental place. You definitely got the vibe of it, but without the lyrics (oh our mumbly Thom) and first hand experience of this mindset its easy to miss. No alarms (not waking up) and no surprises (no more trauma), please. Anyway, I'm sure other's have already said this. If either of you see this comment I want to sincerely thank you for your reactions. You do a great job! Keep it up!
Radiohead is one of the most revered bands in the world. They have had the same 5 guys in the group since they started in college in the 80’s. “No Surprises” is a gem off their 3rd album “OK Computer” and the album won a grammy for best alternative album of the year. Another great track off that album is “Paranoid Android”. Other great Radiohead songs are: Karma Police; Nice Dream; Fake Plastic Trees; The Bends; Airbag; Street Spirit(Fad e Out); Let Down; My Iron Lung; and many more. One of the most creative groups you will ever find. PS- their lead guitar player, Jonny Greenwood has written the musical score for around 10 movies, including There Will Be Blood; Spencer. Their lead singer and lyricist is Thom York.
You guys should do “Fake Plastic Trees” by them next. It’s both my favorite song lyrically and melody-wise. Its theme has been described as the “difficulty of forging an authentic human connection in a world of artifice,” which is a tough nut to crack in the span of five minutes, but I think they pull it off. I feel his struggle to stay true to one’s self and one’s goals, when the whole world seems built around putting up a front and never showing anyone what you the real you is like.
"Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space" by Spiritualized came out around the same time which was also incredible. It was a very good time for Prog-alt-rock!
Game show host, my iron lung, fake plastic trees, high & dry, how to disappear completely, everything in its right place. Radiohead is freaking amazing. Thank you for coming back to these guys.
Radiohead is one of those bands where every member is an incredible musician. Many people consider them one of the best bands of all time. I'd have to agree. Try "Just", "Fake Plastic Trees", High And Dry", "Paranoid Android", "Street Spirit", or "Knives Out"... All great songs with equally great videos.
@@maurovassallo1482 I didn't say they were the greatest band of all time. I said they were one of them. The Beatles, The Beach Boys, R.E.M, The Cure, and Suede are also on my list. There are many artists that broke the mold through their incredible talent and their focus on experimentation and always pushing the envelope. Though they are not bands, artists like Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, and Prince also are masters of their craft.
One of my favourite groups to come out of the 90s! Thom Yorke is just something special, and their guitarist Johnny Greenwood is also a composer for a bunch of movie scores. I love the layers they have in the composition of their music. Definitely recommend more.. “High and Dry” was another popular/mainstream song that came out after “Creep”, as well as “Just”. But I also suggest “Fake Plastic Trees” and “Karma Police” (from this album as well). So many more but I’d start with those.
I think everyone agrees that PARANOID ANDROID is the song you need to react to. It was the biggest song on their biggest album. Probably the pinnacle of Radioheads career.
They really do, the depth of quality within the Radiohead back catalogue is frankly staggering. They have B-sides that would be the best songs for other supposed 'top' bands. Cough cough Coldplay.
YES!!! Some Radiohead. I suggest slapping on those headphones, being blown away by Paranoid Android and going down the Radiohead rabbit hole from there.
"I Might Be Wrong" is one of my favorite Radiohead songs It's kind of middle road between the rocking sound of "Creep" and the gentleness of this song. I hope you'll give it a listen soon!
I maintain this album is quite simply the greatest album of all time and it's a hill I will die on. Lyrically Radiohead are often deep and dark, and yes, depressing but MUSICALLY the soundscapes they create are just beautiful and soaring into ecstasy. I adore them. Necessities of theirs are: Fake Plastic Trees The Bends Paranoid Android There are so many more but these are a perfect way to continue your journey through their incredible catalogue. Creep was an absolute anomaly for them, nothing else they do is as direct and simple as that, in fact the band really don't like the song at all.
agreed. this album, once it clicked, blew me away, and it's still one of my all-time favorite albums. this is such a weird choice to react to only because it's the final song of the whole thing, and really just caps the entire ride of the album.
Agreed, OK Computer is work of genius. Difficult to take songs separately as they form a structure, you need to listen to the whole thing. It's my favourite album of all time.
I listened to this album after seeing a TV show where they were rating greatest albums of all time. OK Computer was number 3. After 2 listens I thought it was pretentious garbage...then came the 3rd listen. Let Down grabbed my attention and I was then hooked. The other songs just started leaping off the album at me in a barrage of superb music...After I played OK ad nauseum I thought I'd try one of their other albums and purchased Kid A.....
Finally!!! ❤❤❤ I was beginning to wonder if you completely forgot one of the best bands on this planet, so thank you for getting back and with this beautiful one, No surprises, the lyrics and the simplicity gets me everytime. Nothing about Radiohead is just easy listening though.. a lot of people mention songs from Ok Computer, which is a legendary album: Let Down, Karma Police and Paranoid Android are my favorites of this one. I must say that I just LOVE their In Rainbows album (check out some songs from their In Rainbows - Live in the basement on TH-cam for instance Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, House of cards or 15 step. Other great ones are High and Dry, Just, Burn the Witch, Lotus Flower, Fake Plastic Trees, but I can just go on and on about this band. Very different songs and moods. Jonny Greenwood is an absolute legend on guitar, Phil Selway on amazing drums and Colin Greenwood on bass guitar keeping it tight but also playful, Ed O’Brien on guitar and backing vocals, a complete nerd with his pedal board, and of course the one and only Thom Yorke, who has a voice out of this world, angelic but also sharp and with that sneer, I am so amazed by this band and they set the bar so high!
“How to Disappear Completely” and “High and Dry” are two great Radiohead songs. High and Dry was my gateway Radiohead song but HTDC is absolutely gorgeous too.
There There was my gateway and it’s a really funny story. I have no idea why I enjoyed hating Radiohead back in the day. But one afternoon im listening to the radio while I was working and suddenly there was this brilliant change up in the music and it caught my attention. Then when it got to the bridge there was another change and I thought, “this is F-ing brilliant, who wrote this?” When I saw that it was Radiohead I had a massive freak out, lol. How am I hating a band that has BUCKETLOADS of talent??? So then I went on a rampage listening to everything Radiohead and so began my love affair with this brilliant band.
@@heather9857The talent is SO undeniable. To me it’s all about the musicality but also the emotions it brings up. As much as these guys enjoy Pink Floyd, I think Radiohead could be an equally satisfying rabbit hole.
OK Computer is maybe the only album I first heard as an adult that blew my socks off. Almost every track is as beautiful and powerful as this one, my favorite being Subterranean Homesick Alien.
one of the best bands of modern music history. They are sitting on the top. Each decade or two, a band create something new. Radiohead's experimental rock defined 90's and 2000's last rock sound. I don't know a band that produced something new since the last radiohead albums. Try vanilla sky, lucky, nude, whose army, exit music, street spirit and so forth. Everything is good.
And just to add, their sound has evolved throughout the band’s lifetime, so probably best to react to their songs in a somewhat chronological order. After Creep, might have been best to then move to sone of the rock songs from The Bends, such as Just and My Iron Lung. Good that you enjoyed and appreciated No Surprises though.
“Just” is near the top of my list of favourite Radiohead songs. Their 2nd album The Bends has some amazing tracks. Consider “Just”, “High and Dry”, “ Fake Plastic Trees” and “Street Spirit (Fade Out)”. Their 3rd album - OK Computer - hardly has a track I wouldn’t recommend.
This is one of the few songs that almost always moves me to tears. This is my final fit My final bellyache with No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please
Love the positive energy always emanating from your channel. Off the top of the dome, you must hear these Radiohead songs: High And Dry Airbag Paranoid Android Karma Police Knives Out Just
If music is meant to give you an emotional response, then Radiohead does it beautifully. Try Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Let Down, the Reckoner, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, nude and I Promise, just to get their range. They’re an extraordinary talent like no other!
Radiohead is my fav band ever!! Be sure and watch the In Rainbows Basement sessions so you can see just how musically gifted they are!! My suggestions are Paranoid Android live from Jools Holland video :) and 15 Step live at the Grammy Awards. Also, be sure and have a watch or listen to The Smile which is Jonny and Thom's side band. Very very cool.
Radiohead are just the best. Please check out the Smiths, their songs have lovely melodies with sad words and Jonny Marr is a guitar genius! There is a light that never goes out and Heaven knows I’m miserable now. Another great Radio head song is fake plastic trees
I suggest "Paranoid Android", totally curious what you'd make of it. I can see Amber liking it and Jay looking like he did the first time he heard "Creep" 🤯
Radiohead are the greatest band of the last thirty years - not my opinion, a simple fact. So progressive and experimental, but also just genius songwriters and musicians. Their music videos are also brilliant. Love OK Computer, but for me In Rainbows is the perfect album
Thom Yorke is absolutely one of my favorite singers of all time(as is the whole band). There's not a single song where he doesn't just slay on vocals, even in the quiter ones like this song. I recommend one of their more rocking songs next time, like "There, There", "The Bends", or "Black Star" are the first three that come to mind.
Amazing song !!!! this song rocked my winter of 1998... Memories of a beautiful friendship and beautiful moments of sharing on this song... Sorry for my English but I am writing to you from France and I'm French... ;-)
Radiohead, love them since the 90s, there music is insane, my altime favorite are GREEP, STREET SPIRIT, FAKE PLASTIC TREES, WEIRD HIGH AND DRY, TRUE LOVES WAIT TO MANY
This is what I call an album song. It so beautifully ties together side 2 of the OK Computer album- which is, arguably, along with u2 's Achtung Baby, one of the 2 best, most complete albums of the 90's.
OK Computer is the soundtrack to my late teenage years - such an epic album that's worth a listen start to finish - much like any Pink Floyd album!! I must suggest WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET from 1996 starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes! It's a quirky, modern take on the classic tragedy and the soundtrack is AMAZING!! Radiohead is featured on it and the song "End Credits (For A Film)" on OK Comp is the "uncredited" song playing during the end credits of WSR+J. I hope you add these to your list to view some day - best wishes and keep smiling!
Love Radiohead, seen them live 4 times and every time amazing. Would love to see you react to more such as "Pyramid Song", How to "disappear completely" and "Just" for the video alone. Live in the basement is the band live and it's wow especially when you listen to him sing "nude" and " reckoner" just pure Thom York live, incredible.
Funny you describe it as a lullaby. The 'jingle' is used as a lullaby to sing Baby David to sleep by his parents in the hilarous sitcom The Royle Family.
At last another Radiohead! For me,the best band in history along with The Beatles, for consistency of creativity and sound. Also they do some amazing clips. The song, for me, is about the bananlity of desirng a life that contains no alarms and no surprises, yet in such a life you are slowly drowning and don't even know it.
Well now you've done hard radiohead with Creep and soft radiohead with this one. Their sound varies in such amazing ways - I would do "Jigsaw Falling into Place" next
So many more to react to "Exit Music (for a film)" "High and Dry" "Street Spirit" "Fake Plastic Trees" "Paranoid Android" and many more. Totally original band. Much love from England 🏴
Man, this song was on the radio just yesterday! 'What will Jordan and Amber think of this lullaby?' came to my mind. Well, I didn't have to wait long for an answer 😀 "Karma Police" was another hit by them.
You guys should hit “Let Down” next. Sonically beautiful song with dark but uplifting lyrics Radiohead is one band lucky enough to have at least three masterpiece level albums
I’m not a Radiohead fan but I was at a festival they headlined and when they did this song it was sunset and I was on a ferris wheel. It was a movie moment. Almost teared up
Didn't need that at ten o'clock in the morning, had to put status quo on to cheer myself up with good old rocking music, getting on in life now don't want to go to my grave with sad music IN my head, Keep on rocking it'll see you through the day😊.
OK Computer is an album that is incredibly near and dear to my heart. Oh, man. It was on repeat on my Discman (yes, a Discman, it was during the 90's 😅), and I loved every track with every note played. Edit: Check out Exit Music from the same album.
Great reaction! Huge Radiohead fan here. They're very eclectic. To mix it up after this one, something more up Jay's alley would be "Just" or "Man-o-war". Amber would definitely love "Lift" which is emotional but far more uplifting than No Surprises. Both you'd both love all three. And all three of these have amazing, deep videos.
You all have reacted to another Radiohead song..Street Spirit, it’s on your patreon page. Paranoid Android should be next followed by Karma Police, but they have a lot of great tracks. As others have said, OK Computer is one of the great all time albums
I always thought Thom coming up for air in the video and gasping made me feel like I could come up for air from depression (like you two talked about). Such a gorgeous song and the video is so.... tough to watch but so incredible.
He guys, radiohead is the best band ever. You should absolutly try the next songs: Fake Plastic Trees | Street Spirit(fade out) | Airbag | Exit Music(for a film) | Let Down | Paranoid Android | Karma Police | Everything in it's right place | How to disapeare completly | Idioteque | 2 + 2 = 5 | There, there | Pyramid Song | Lotus Flower | Weird Fishes/Arpeggi | All I Need | Reckoner | Jigsaw falling in to Peaces | Burn the witch | Dayreaming. Those a allasterpieces
Love me some ‘Head people! You have so much to dive into here- High & Dry, Paranoid Android, Just, Karma Police, Pyramid Song, My Iron Lung, Lucky, There There but absolutely your next visit should be with Fake Plastic Trees. A truly incredible band with such an incredible catalogue- enjoy the experience x
Agreed. That’s my favorite. There’s a great ‘amateur’ video on YT for Let Down that employs depth-of-field camera tricks and sped-up time-lapse) which creates an amazing sense of miniaturization of the real world.
If you want to hear an incredible cover of Let Down, check out the Easy Star All Stars version. It’s Toots and the Maytals. I like it more than the original
I don't say this about many albums, but OK Computer is a masterpiece.
Agreed it’s the one album of theirs I really like.
@@fayesouthall6604 In Rainbows is just as good
Finest album I ever bought.
Nous sommes bien d'accord 👍
And Kid A isn’t far behind. Also In Rainbows.
Radiohead is brilliant and musically diverse. You simply cannot pigeon hole this band into a style.
That their trademarks, every album is a surprise. I f want something really interesting try “Kid A” or “Everything In It’s Right Place” both from their 4th album “Kid A”. You will be amazed.
It is a pigeon hole called 'Radiohead'
Radiohead till I die ® 👻...
life was better ❤ before the internet ...get rid of the smartphones
"Just" by Radiohead should be your next experience. The video is pretty crazy.
One of the greatest videos ever made
the great 90's rehab anthem
The songs "How to disappear completely" , "Climbing up the walls" and "Exit music for a film" are some very emotionally packed songs. Just beautiful
Depression can make you feel like you are drowning, pressures of life have you gasping for air...this song/video are moving
This one.. this one gets it. And I am so sorry.
You get it. I hope you are doing better, i know how hard depression can be. Love u brother.
Amber nailed it. It’s a lullaby for robots. Love what you two do!
@penderyn8794 it's about a man committing suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning and removing the carbon monoxide alarm beforehand so he can die peacefully
@penderyn8794maybe if you’re 12 years old
Radiohead are one of the greatest bands. Very complex, but beautiful guitar and lyrics. Check out 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)' and 'High and Dry'. Two of my favourites.
Radiohead is a whole vibe. ❤️
Radiohead's "Exit Music For A Film" is amazing, too. I'm not gonna lie, almost of the catalogue is amazing.

I first listened to this album over two decades ago as someone brought me to their concert on a first date, it was amazing.

The song is literally about the euphoria...happiness...relief??... a person feels once they decide to end it. Thankfully not too many people have had to experience this mental place. You definitely got the vibe of it, but without the lyrics (oh our mumbly Thom) and first hand experience of this mindset its easy to miss.

Karma Police MUST be next.
I’m surpised they didn’t say anything about the video itself. It’s crazy how he’s under water holding his breath like that. Such a unique video.
They had their eyes closed. They need to pay attention to the video.
Its pretty unique how he can sing with his mouth closed..
You guys should do “Fake Plastic Trees” by them next. It’s both my favorite song lyrically and melody-wise.

Used to close our college radio show with it
@@Joe-gb3lu You’ve got great taste I can only assume.
@mojoshivers it was my partner's idea actually. I just rode his coattails 😂
The entire OK Computer album is brilliant, arguably one of the best albums of all time. It matches up with the best of Pink Floyd.
Could you imagine there’s a movie out there that matches with the album too, like Dark Side of the Moon and Wizard of Oz… 🤯
"Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space" by Spiritualized came out around the same time which was also incredible. It was a very good time for Prog-alt-rock!
They're the good band, but no, they cannot match Pink Floyd. It was a bit childish to think that they could.
@@jonathanmaybury5698 OKC is a perfect album. Floyd has at best two perfect albums. OKC can sit right in there with them.
@@jonathanmaybury5698you sound pretty childish. Don't like it when someone has their own opinion about music?
Game show host, my iron lung, fake plastic trees, high & dry, how to disappear completely, everything in its right place. Radiohead is freaking amazing. Thank you for coming back to these guys.
I love Radiohead, please react to "Fake Plastic Trees", "Karma Police" and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)".
I just know you guys will love them!
Radiohead is one of those bands where every member is an incredible musician. Many people consider them one of the best bands of all time. I'd have to agree. Try "Just", "Fake Plastic Trees", High And Dry", "Paranoid Android", "Street Spirit", or "Knives Out"... All great songs with equally great videos.

Like each their albums for different reasons, but Bends is probably my fave too.
I think everyone agrees that PARANOID ANDROID is the song you need to react to. It was the biggest song on their biggest album. Probably the pinnacle of Radioheads career.
They have plenty songs that are better
@@goldenboy140Yes, but not necessarily better for a new listener.
@@goldenboy140they really don’t have “plenty of songs” better than Paranoid Android lol

Good that you enjoyed and appreciated No Surprises though.
“Just” is near the top of my list of favourite Radiohead songs. Their 2nd album The Bends has some amazing tracks. Consider “Just”, “High and Dry”, “ Fake Plastic Trees” and “Street Spirit (Fade Out)”. Their 3rd album - OK Computer - hardly has a track I wouldn’t recommend.
A social commentary sung as a lullaby. Radiohead are a truly amazing band, hope you do some more
High and Dry, Street Spirit (Fade Out) and/or Fake Plastic Trees ..... all brilliant songs, on top of the two you've already heard ❤
Soooou amazing ❤😂i love Radioed
You guys are brilliant, so natural, so generous, such nice people. This is the original and best series of this format, thanks.
A rare album where every track is sublime.

One of my favorite bands of the 90s for sure. Wore out my copy of The Bends album. I recommend “My Iron Lung” from that album.
Radiohead such an epic band and so underated this guys make music magic
'Karma Police' is another much-loved and well known song by Radiohead. Used to love playing it both solo and with a band. 😊❤
"Radiohead - Karma police"
Totally different but it popped into my mind "The Radios - She goes Nana" or "The Corrs - Radio"
The genius that is Radiohead 👏👏👏👏
Galleries and Museums house Art.
‘OK Computer’ is a priceless treasure, deserving of High Art acclaim too.
For more of their early stuff, check out "Karma Police", "Paranoid Android", "Just", and "Fake Plastic Trees".
Guys this Radiohead album has a song called Paranoid android that was called the bohemian rhapsody of the times because it has Many parts
Superb band, many great songs can pick any of them to listen and enjoy. One of my favourites is Fake Plastic Trees. A pure gem.
Love the positive energy always emanating from your channel. Off the top of the dome, you must hear these Radiohead songs:
High And Dry
Airbag
Paranoid Android
Karma Police
Knives Out
Just
If music is meant to give you an emotional response, then Radiohead does it beautifully. Try Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Let Down, the Reckoner, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, nude and I Promise, just to get their range. They’re an extraordinary talent like no other!
High and Dry is another great song
Radiohead is my fav band ever!! Be sure and watch the In Rainbows Basement sessions so you can see just how musically gifted they are!! My suggestions are Paranoid Android live from Jools Holland video :) and 15 Step live at the Grammy Awards. Also, be sure and have a watch or listen to The Smile which is Jonny and Thom's side band. Very very cool.
90s… best decade of music… proven right here.
Radiohead are just the best. Please check out the Smiths, their songs have lovely melodies with sad words and Jonny Marr is a guitar genius! There is a light that never goes out and Heaven knows I’m miserable now. Another great Radio head song is fake plastic trees
Another great Radiohead song is Fake Plastic Trees. One of my favs.
I suggest "Paranoid Android", totally curious what you'd make of it. I can see Amber liking it and Jay looking like he did the first time he heard "Creep" 🤯
So many great songs from this band! Street Spirit (Fade Out) is one of my favorites.
Radiohead are the greatest band of the last thirty years - not my opinion, a simple fact. So progressive and experimental, but also just genius songwriters and musicians. Their music videos are also brilliant. Love OK Computer, but for me In Rainbows is the perfect album
'Planet Telex' off The Bends is incredible.
Fake plastic trees or paranoid android should be next. The rabbit hole is deep with radiohead
Should check out Radiohead "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Karma Police"...
.
Great band. I really hope u guys do "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" from them sometime. Most of their songs, if not all, are very cinematic.
Thom Yorke is absolutely one of my favorite singers of all time(as is the whole band). There's not a single song where he doesn't just slay on vocals, even in the quiter ones like this song. I recommend one of their more rocking songs next time, like "There, There", "The Bends", or "Black Star" are the first three that come to mind.
Amazing song !!!! this song rocked my winter of 1998... Memories of a beautiful friendship and beautiful moments of sharing on this song... Sorry for my English but I am writing to you from France and I'm French... ;-)
Radiohead, love them since the 90s, there music is insane, my altime favorite are GREEP, STREET SPIRIT, FAKE PLASTIC TREES, WEIRD
HIGH AND DRY, TRUE LOVES WAIT TO MANY
Lots of great music by these guys,love Radiohead,pick anything,you will be pleased
❤ Love Radiohead. Great band
This is what I call an album song. It so beautifully ties together side 2 of the OK Computer album- which is, arguably, along with u2 's Achtung Baby, one of the 2 best, most complete albums of the 90's.
OK Computer is the soundtrack to my late teenage years - such an epic album that's worth a listen start to finish - much like any Pink Floyd album!! I must suggest WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET from 1996 starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes! It's a quirky, modern take on the classic tragedy and the soundtrack is AMAZING!! Radiohead is featured on it and the song "End Credits (For A Film)" on OK Comp is the "uncredited" song playing during the end credits of WSR+J. I hope you add these to your list to view some day - best wishes and keep smiling!
Love Radiohead, seen them live 4 times and every time amazing. Would love to see you react to more such as "Pyramid Song", How to "disappear completely" and "Just" for the video alone. Live in the basement is the band live and it's wow especially when you listen to him sing "nude" and " reckoner" just pure Thom York live, incredible.
"Just" is a killer tune
One of the most genuinely relaxing and calming songs with intelligent lyrics. It always just makes you go 😮💨 Ok…I feel emotional yet better now…
Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry, Bulletproof, I Promise 💜
This album is one of the greatest of all time. It really is just that good.
Funny you describe it as a lullaby. The 'jingle' is used as a lullaby to sing Baby David to sleep by his parents in the hilarous sitcom The Royle Family.
At last another Radiohead! For me,the best band in history along with The Beatles, for consistency of creativity and sound. Also they do some amazing clips. The song, for me, is about the bananlity of desirng a life that contains no alarms and no surprises, yet in such a life you are slowly drowning and don't even know it.
Well now you've done hard radiohead with Creep and soft radiohead with this one. Their sound varies in such amazing ways - I would do "Jigsaw Falling into Place" next
So many more to react to "Exit Music (for a film)" "High and Dry" "Street Spirit" "Fake Plastic Trees" "Paranoid Android" and many more. Totally original band. Much love from England 🏴
Man, this song was on the radio just yesterday! 'What will Jordan and Amber think of this lullaby?' came to my mind. Well, I didn't have to wait long for an answer 😀 "Karma Police" was another hit by them.
You guys should hit “Let Down” next. Sonically beautiful song with dark but uplifting lyrics
Radiohead is one band lucky enough to have at least three masterpiece level albums
I’m not a Radiohead fan but I was at a festival they headlined and when they did this song it was sunset and I was on a ferris wheel. It was a movie moment. Almost teared up
Didn't need that at ten o'clock in the morning, had to put status quo on to cheer myself up with good old rocking music, getting on in life now don't want to go to my grave with sad music IN my head, Keep on rocking it'll see you through the day😊.
OK Computer is an album that is incredibly near and dear to my heart.
Oh, man. It was on repeat on my Discman (yes, a Discman, it was during the 90's 😅), and I loved every track with every note played.
Edit: Check out Exit Music from the same album.
Great reaction! Huge Radiohead fan here. They're very eclectic. To mix it up after this one, something more up Jay's alley would be "Just" or "Man-o-war". Amber would definitely love "Lift" which is emotional but far more uplifting than No Surprises. Both you'd both love all three. And all three of these have amazing, deep videos.
Radiohead is a RELIGION. The Bends and OK Computer...
You all have reacted to another Radiohead song..Street Spirit, it’s on your patreon page. Paranoid Android should be next followed by Karma Police, but they have a lot of great tracks. As others have said, OK Computer is one of the great all time albums
Street Spirit penetrates your soul!
One of my all time favorite songs period. A masterpiece.
I always thought Thom coming up for air in the video and gasping made me feel like I could come up for air from depression (like you two talked about). Such a gorgeous song and the video is so.... tough to watch but so incredible.
He guys, radiohead is the best band ever. You should absolutly try the next songs: Fake Plastic Trees | Street Spirit(fade out) | Airbag | Exit Music(for a film) | Let Down | Paranoid Android | Karma Police | Everything in it's right place | How to disapeare completly | Idioteque | 2 + 2 = 5 | There, there | Pyramid Song | Lotus Flower | Weird Fishes/Arpeggi | All I Need | Reckoner | Jigsaw falling in to Peaces | Burn the witch | Dayreaming. Those a allasterpieces
This is the first video ive seen from this channel and i can wholeheartedly recommend Karma Police, that song is probably my favorite from Radiohead
Love me some ‘Head people!
You have so much to dive into here- High & Dry, Paranoid Android, Just, Karma Police, Pyramid Song, My Iron Lung, Lucky, There There but absolutely your next visit should be with Fake Plastic Trees.
A truly incredible band with such an incredible catalogue- enjoy the experience x
Radio Head Street Sprit,
beautiful sorrowful song. Great video as well
Lovely song by a wonderful band.
Their song LET DOWN from the same album O.K. Computer is a MUST HEAR!
Agreed. That’s my favorite. There’s a great ‘amateur’ video on YT for Let Down that employs depth-of-field camera tricks and sped-up time-lapse) which creates an amazing sense of miniaturization of the real world.
If you want to hear an incredible cover of Let Down, check out the Easy Star All Stars version. It’s Toots and the Maytals. I like it more than the original
@@waynecanning4122 Meh, it's O.K. but better than the original? LOL GTFO!
THIS! People are making requests for Paranoid Android and Karma Police... Good songs, but no LET DOWN!
