the cello sounds like the wailing of an ancient whale who has been swimming since the beginning of time, looking for the mythical place where whales go to die. beautiful.
Even though Radiohead are one of the most critically acclaimed bands in history, this kind of performance makes you realize that they are actually extremely underrated.
They have music for literally everyone. Pop music in The Bends, excellent alt rock tunes in ok computer and in rainbows, experimental music in kid A and amnesiac, orchestral arrangements in a moon shaped pool.
The cello entrance sounded like an entire orchestra. The last time a sound stopped me in my tracks like that was Miles Davis on his Sketches of Spain album. My god.

This song has not only contributed to my depression but has also allowed me to work through it. Something about playing it allows me to escape to another world. Cry pretty often when I’m singing and performing this alone. Unbelievably beautiful.
It is unbelievable, glacial, austere and very haunting. Music from another dimension, almost too painful to listen to because of it's beauty. I had a friend download and burn a copy of the 800% version for me. Had to have it !
You guys can feel the piano rythm gets lost at some point, it´s like trying to connect with some part in your subconscius .... I don´t know, Amnesiac is just amazing i reckon, to feel that you forgot your past, your name, address, just waking up......knowing nothing.............just peace around.......I can feel amnesiac and forgot myself about my existence, reality, dreams, anything.
You can feel the Egyptian mythological influence more in this version that the original version, it’s absolutely Gorgeous. And the two instruments sharing the vocals as just incredible.
I was so incredibly not prepared for the absolutely mastery of nuance on these gentlemen's behalf. The original was nothing short of beautiful, this was...haunting.
I love O'Riley's Radiohead covers and just as I was listening to some good ol' Radiohead the idea popped into my head that maybe Chris covered this song. This is even more amazing than I thought it would be. And dammit I already thought it would be incredible. Mind blown, once again
Sweet Jesus how could anything be so perfect? After all these years I STILL refuse to believe only one piano and a single cello could produce such beautiful music@
This methological music reminds me, my friend has escaped 5 years before from this world, I have cried a.lot, this is a precious music, because it reminds me all my sad and feeling things. From Tamil Nadu Chennai triplicane
The Cello is incredible. I was going to say he makes it sing, but it's as if he isn't playing it. It's like the cello was the wind blowing throw the trees. It sounds so organic.
there’s a reason composers love Radiohead
the cello sounds like the wailing of an ancient whale who has been swimming since the beginning of time, looking for the mythical place where whales go to die. beautiful.
That's surprisingly accurate. You should write poetry.
it's not a cello, it's a piano.
That was a good one
Whoa!
the most accurate comment
That cello is absolutely insane, it sounds like it came from a different planet.
It did! It swooped down in a country lane late at night as I was driving.
Descendant of Kraff Well played.
Truly.
Sounds like a whale and it is magnificent.
I'm not a cellist, but as a violinist I'd bet that some passages are incredibly hard to play
Even though Radiohead are one of the most critically acclaimed bands in history, this kind of performance makes you realize that they are actually extremely underrated.
I agree. They are different like that.
They have music for literally everyone. Pop music in The Bends, excellent alt rock tunes in ok computer and in rainbows, experimental music in kid A and amnesiac, orchestral arrangements in a moon shaped pool.
This is Pyramid Song if it was in A Moon Shaped Pool
Yep.
I want to go to there.
Exactly what i thought
That
A pyramid shaped pool.
I want that this exactly version be played in my funeral
If they don't play it at mine I'm not going.

Which track?
@@msa6662 Oh my god, I can't believe Pyramid Song originated from this: A1 Concierto De Aranjuez (Adagio)... those first 5-minutes are so alike...

They're nothing alike at all XD
@@msa6662 Maybe I'm looking for similarities, I'm glad I'm hearing what I'm hearing all the same 😂🙏🤝

The quality of multi-voicing on that cello is something I didn't even know was possible
dude sounds like a whole string section
The beginning of the cello playing reminded me of singing whales. This is superbly wonderful. I am gobsmacked.
***** I know and a I was utterly surprised as I thought this group to be rock and did not know that they were multifaceted musically.
Yes It's the first thing that came to mind. The song is a sort of submarine dream world. I have always loved it.
That slightly bittersweet moment when you find the music for your funeral...
There are many, many brilliant contenders, but this is my favourite Radiohead track. This version brought me to tears - wonderful.
Me too
Yes!!
This song has not only contributed to my depression but has also allowed me to work through it. Something about playing it allows me to escape to another world. Cry pretty often when I’m singing and performing this alone. Unbelievably beautiful.
The way played those OCTAVES THOUGH! My GOD! Beautiful
Just filled with joy and envy
Wish I could see this live
His slurs were on point too
That cello, my god that cello
imagine being there and watching it live! 😮
I imagine... 😳
if you havent already go watch the 800% slower version
Where do you find that?

I've heard that version. It's like what you would've heard at the beginning of time and reality. It's amazing

how the hell would you think you know what "mythological egypt" sounds like?
@@bkbj8282 that’s not what I said. I said you _feel_ the _influence_ more in this version than the original, which is already well documented.
@@bkbj8282 look up egyptian music and you will get stereotypical egyptian music. have you lived under a rock for the past 50 years
@@bkbj8282This cracked me up 😂😂😂
This gives me some small hope for human kind, that we can produce such beauty.

radiohead is hell of a drugs
I was so incredibly not prepared for the absolutely mastery of nuance on these gentlemen's behalf. The original was nothing short of beautiful, this was...haunting.
This is simply beautiful. What an irregular yet pleasing combination, that chello SINGS!
so much depth from both instruments. So atmospheric. This truly is incredible and may be one of my all time favorite radiohead songs. Amazing
I dont think I can put into words how brilliant this is, brought tears to my eyes.
Same.
A gently swaying instrumental of sorrow
this cover give me ghostbumps
They performed beautifully! The way the cellist played shows how deeply he feels about this song.
I love O'Riley's Radiohead covers and just as I was listening to some good ol' Radiohead the idea popped into my head that maybe Chris covered this song. This is even more amazing than I thought it would be. And dammit I already thought it would be incredible.
Mind blown, once again
Sweet Jesus how could anything be so perfect? After all these years I STILL refuse to believe only one piano and a single cello could produce such beautiful music@
I loved to play Pyramid Song on piano, until I saw this... Now I need a cello...
So,do you play the cello with feet,or the piano?
Pezzo unico!opera D'arte
This is insane. That cellist is incredible.
Absolutely gorgeous
Another level, i'll truly hurt the day thom ever leaves me/us. He's my Lennon, should be everyones, talent wise
That will be one crowded funeral.
***** I'd attend no matter how much it would cost me to get to the other side of the world for it.
I dig Lennon's stuff
Jonny Greenwood wrote the arrangement but yeah...
LEnnon who? lol
Words cannot express the emotion put into this piece. Wow
first 10 seconds
fucking chills already, this is what I was looking for in a pyramid song cover 😣
At a loss for words….. just tears and goosebumps
nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
Both the cello and the piano.... it's haunting
Listen "Godspeed you black emperor" 🫡
Always come back to this. You did fantastic! Both of you. :)
Amazing. I saw them perform this last night at The University of Richmond. By far the highlight of the show, for me personally. Love it! Th
That's a piece of fine, art music.
A masterpiece. Great classical version!
Thanks Thom Yorke for this gift...

I actually drew an intake of breath when the cello came in...other worldly
