No one does shit when Thom walks into their house, Thom goes where he wants
+typical emoboy Hahahahahaha lmao
+KingPivot001 "I am the key to the lock in your house"
+KingPivot001 No, he goes where he pleases.
+KingPivot001 Thom is the Honey Badger.
+Colm Wykoff He's been where he likes.
"Honey did you leave the door open?"
"No, why?"
"Thom Yorke just walked through the house, again"
Chris Stevko this happens every day, damn 😅
Holy fucking siet it's like thom is a psico that enter random houses searching desperately for I have no idea what. IDK, he just likes very much entering houses
Chris Stevko I would love to have that problem.

Chris Stevko lol
this song doesn’t feel like I’m listening to it it feels like it’s happening to me
That's the best description ever!
@@HotelAVJobs thank you, i feel this way about most of Kid A, too
I had a feeling I couldn't describe when I first heard this song and it is exactly that
Tommy Why So, sorry to tell you and I get you don't understand, but it is happening to you. Thom's character is dreaming back in time to our present tense; a Mal-adaptive Daydream (look it up). His "dream" begins in a man made cave surrounded by shadows of people but ends in a natural cave alone surrounded shadows of flames. He ends in the fetal position just like he did when I was a little boy in the video "Just". He is alone because the only food is other people, and if you recall from Kid A's "Idioteque", "the women and children would be first" and he'd "swallow until he burst". This dream is to see "everything in its right place", because everything has been swallowed by the sea. Ice Age coming.
It feels like it’s listening to me.
Can you imagine, that after you passed and died, this is what the initial afterlife would be like. You walking through moments in your life, through different doorways, into memories from your childhood, all the way up to the moment of your death. Amazing.
also terrifying
@@goodguyberr I guess it depends on what has happened or what you've done in your life. For me, even with the loss and extremely difficult times, amazing.
Ahhh I thought he was a burglar
You perfectly explained this video
This is beautiful but also terrifying
Exacto
Rare footage of a college freshman trying to find his class
Damn 😂😂😂
Soroosh Mhs
I see your a tool fan; good taste my friend.
SpeakersR-lyef Audio i sure am /,,/
As a former college freshman I can confirm this happens to everyone
He got so lost, he ended up on a mountain.
I was in a bar in Florida and they had an empty piano sitting there. In walked a very large Russian guy speaking broken English and he asked the bartender if he could play the piano. He started playing popular show tunes and no one was really paying attention to him . He seen me looking at him and he said to me what would you like to hear and I said I'm sure you don't know the music that I like and he replied try me. I said Radiohead. He started with this song, Daydreaming, and played about 10 songs by Radiohead before he left. I asked the bartender who he was and he said I have no idea I've never seen him before. It was great almost like a ghost walked in played Radiohead and then disappeared. It was an interesting night that I enjoyed immensely.
Thank you for sharing that
What a nice story! Thank you :)
Interesting
You said the same thing at no surprises...
You said that he started with 'no surprises'
"hello, 911? Yeah...Thom Yorke just walked through my house."
This song is grief for me, I listened to it while going through the biggest trauma in my life and it helps me cope. I'm so thankful to Thom for creating music
Let Down really helped me, as well as Airbag and There, There. There’s so many others, but those stand out. I recommend Sail to the Moon, as it’s a mellow song like Daydreaming.
me too
I am sorry to hear that I hope that you are better!
me too
Probably important to know that in 2015 he and his partner of 23 years split. She passed of cancer in 2016. The year this album was released. He was going through the deepest grief. She was gone. He and his children were left to mourn. It puts this album into focus.
Watch the video again. He is searching everywhere, through every door, in a hospital, ends back up in a home and there is a woman there reading a newspaper ...notice all the times he goes back into this house...looking for that which is lost. When he opens the last door he is in the snow, into a cave. And he has no discernible language to describe it. That’s grief.
That explains everything.
Thank you.
the discernible language is "half of my life" reversed
He happens to walk through 23 doors in this video =23 years. and the last part of the song says "Half of my life." backwards. FYI
Thanks for this explanation, I had no idea and this makes the video even deeper feeling and more profound. Radiohead and PTA are a match made in heaven, they definitely "get" each other.
"Honey?"
"Yes dear...?"
"Did you lock the doors, I think I just saw Thom Yorke walk through our living room"
"Damn it, that's the fifth Thom Yorke this month"
😂😂😂
good shit 👏
hahahahaha
HAHAHAHA LOL
that made my day 😂
This songs comforts me so much... It's like going to bed and someone says "Sleep well, everything will be fine!" And you sleep well and wake up with hope and the feeling, that everything is fine already...
I think this song is less about Thom's wife, and more deeply about the human journey from birth to death. In the beginning, Thom comes into this world with other souls. Just as life is an endless series of choices, Thom maneuvers through various settings, some symbolic depictions of family life, others symbolic depictions of possibility (hallways), advancements to more mature ways of thinking (stairs) and the recognizing the reality of samsara (laundromat). Then there are experiences of transcendence where Thom has momentary glimpses into eternity, into a reality beyond this life, into self-realization. He looks out of the parking garage at the light outside and wants to know it. Eventually he becomes more frantic trying to find himself, walking through more and more doors, but ending up in the same places, feeling as if he's losing sight of his path. Eventually he goes through the dark night of the soul, the only real path towards self-realization, and instead of searching for the sun outside, he searches for it within. He walks through ice and snow, turns inward (enters a small cave) and finds shelter within himself as he collapses and finds peace by the fire of his own soul. His search ends. What he wanted was within himself the whole time. This is death, but not of body. This is death of ego, this is true understanding of self.
yo man, i was probably looking for this interpretation. the vedantic one. Dhanyawad!
OMG needed this. My intuition said me this but I couldn't put it into words. Blessings
This is actually what daydreaming feels like. You don't look at faces or the places you go, you don't pay any attention at all in the world around you. You open doors and pass lonely and crowded places and yet the only thing that travels through your head is your own thoughts. So the ending is like you finally find the place you were always searching to find or you weren't even searching, you just walked and the place found you.
beautiful
Yes ;-;

crazy that this song is 6 mins i always thought it was short i genuinely had no idea it was this long. Radiohead is the only band that can make songs that are long and only make them feel like 2 mins i always think they end way too soon and end up listening on a loop
Hi I recommend an indie rock song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I highly recommend cigarettes fter s*x if you haven't listened to any of their songs yet then you really should give it a try especially "k." and "apocalypse" I love all of their songs but these two are my favorite
you should really listen to Infected Object's music if you want something similar to that he's great
fuck man,even i didnt realize its 6min long i was thinking it was 3-4min
Every daydreamer feels the same*
Thom Yorke is probably one of the most gifted musicians of this century
yup... literally everything he does now is gold... it's pretty stunning... imo
I think Jonny Greenwood is even better, great movie scores too
@@dtunes7pt phil selways solo albums are also beautiful and highly underrated imo
@@dtunes7pt I know right? I feel like Thom Yorke gets all the credit cause he is the frontman, but since we are talking about a band so we should give credit to all the band members
@@johnlemmon6660 Not taking merits from Thom, excelent voice and lyrics, individualy I prefer Jonny, though fully agreed with you, Radiohead is what it is because of all their members, and most bands are like thatm maybe NIN is a one man band example..
People say Radiohead makes you depressed, It makes me feel that there is good left in world.
@@tamjidi no
@@tamjidi This is humanity's rightful punishment. So enjoy the beauty and misery. Enjoyment and suffering. Free will and martyrdom. Serving and executing. Find a noble cause and commit to it, feed information to the next generation. We've caused our own downfall. It can only get better from here.

I lost my wife a year ago and I can't breathe sometimes because of the pain. All of her clothes are still in our bedroom closet. I sleep in my stepson's old room sometimes. One day I had a wife and a son, the next day I lost everything. There is this silly part of me that hopes she will knock on the front door and say it was all a sick joke. I guess life's sick joke is on me. I miss you Crystal, see you soon.

My partner and I, we love you Thom.
We went to see you in December in LA this year, and it was Heaven.
She was diagnosed with cancer in the New Year.
I don't know if we'll ever get the chance to see you again, but if you ever see two empty seats at your show, please think of us.
She is my star. She is my heart. I am nothing without her.
I feel like you and Jack White brought us together, and we saw you both for the first time in the same year.
This life has been a dream. I am grateful. I am sorry.
May true love find us all.
❤❤❤
This is like a reverse Allegory of the cave. He's seen everything, gone through all stages in life. He's gone as far as he needed to go and he gains nothing from being outside. He is still alone, so rather than be outside in the cold lonely world, he chooses to go back into the cave and stare directly into the fire; only because it's more comfortable, to daydream.
Leo Siayo that’s so accurate jesus, I actually loved it
That's deep and relatable as fuck, jesus christ
I think you're on to something...
ahah he's on drugs cus he made a deep coment. ahah i'm so funny
Actually, the song is about his wife who died because of cancer
Thom walks through 23 doors. He was with Rachel for 23 years.

One of Radiohead's most gorgeous songs lensed by one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.
hot take: one of the best songs ever written, it's so unsettling and tragic, thom's vocals are broken and imperfect that it elevates the song to a new level, the piano in the background is so bittersweet, the sounds of thom quietly screaming in the background, the incredible music video, the feeling of trying to drown out your problems and drift away, and the climactic ending, signifying waking up from your dream...
I'm waking up! Now I'll forget everything!

Hello there
Honestly usually describing a radiohead track as one of the best tracks ever written is not a hot take
I'm thankful to have grown from a child to a man listening to Thom and disappearing from the world every time I listen to Radiohead. Love.

Can't agree with you enough. 🙌

I am gonna have 31. year on the first September....first ear connection and sense with Radiohead when I was heard song Creep about 93s when my country was in war...so that long time to listen one band, and never gets old , and always surprise you with magnificent and beautiful new masterpiece like this...
this is Thom life's for sure...this act is his lifetime
"Where the fuck did I leave my keys?"
bruh
where'd you park your car
what's the best one?
Thank you. I really really needed that levity. :.)
Ha ha ha!❤
Yesterday a long-haired man walked through my living room. I was so excited, I thought it was Thom, instead it was a thief. He stole everything.
One thing i just can’t fathom is how…good Thom looks. And how beautiful this music video is.
23 doors for their 23 years together. This is a song about memories.
damn so deep
pretty sure their relationship goes way back to almost 1985. nice connection though.
GizmosAndGadgets That connection can still be made since they made their first big album 23 years ago
They are 25 😐
She's slamming the door. Parts of the video seem to be mostly about parenthood - mainly about motherhood - if you remember anything about your childhood (or parenthood) (this is to say, in quite many cases, but not all, of course), it's typically one of the hardest bits: the child slamming the door on the parent to be alone while the parent just wanted the best for them and they don't understand it yet. A lot of the imagery during the song's video refers to motherhood as well as parenthood and "over achiever" struggles, or general struggles if you don't just consider a rat race for money fulfilling, even though we all do it. Throughout the video you actually see a combination of references to motherhood and to the albums that Radiohead have done - which I suppose is a culmination of Thom's struggle to make sense of where he should belong in this world.

Nobody is talking abaut the direction of Paul Thomas Anderson?? Is pretty good ;))
I was in Japan, in Takayama, experiencing the most beautiful trip of my life with my best friend. One day, returning from an excursion, I decided to take a walk in Takayama along the river under the bridges. It was raining and the sky was gray, and then this music came on. And everything seemed…magical. Like a fairy tale, like a dream that one experiences with half-closed eyelids. My feet flew above the ground, the rain ran down my cheeks, my eyes observed the waves, the gray of the mountain and the beauty of this place. And slowly, a feeling of beauty, of nostalgia, of pain from this ephemeral moment crept into my heart. One of my most beautiful memories honestly.
❤
“I awoke only to find that the rest of the world was still asleep.”

How lonely and frightening
I can relate.
🙌
Why, Leo, did you wake up at 3 AM again?
803 Mastiff nice suitable quote, thx for sharing thx! I can relate. Maybe it’s more comfortable dreaming of the fire, than walking through this life seeing everything crystal clear
This song uses three notes as its bed. The notes are D-E-A. On repeat it spells D-E-A-D. You hear it throughout most of the song.
This song is about Thom’s breakup with his woman. Btw.
Each door he passes through symbolizes a year of their lives together. Ive forgotten the number of doors.
Anyways in the end he crawls into the cold cave where the fire is. I can only picture that as being the state of their relationship. A cold wet cave with warmth in its heart.
Thom repeats the words “i love you fire”.
When played in reverse he actually says “half of my life”. The number of doors symbolized his years with her which summed up to half of his life in their relationship.
This is by far the deepest song i have ever encountered. Mind blown. Its fucking deep.
Thom York you are a treasure upon this lowly ball of mud that we live upon.
Thanks for reafirm something I knew. You put all this in words, I can't put it down in words better than you.
;
This feels like my life right now. In one door, and out another. It's confusing.
This really touched me. Felt a lump in my throat and the tears started to gather in my eyes. Really got me.
I'm feeling really sad and lonely right now after parting ways with my therapist and feeling very alone in trying to heal again. Maybe that's why this made me cry.. Since this is also a kind of painful breakup... It's different, but maybe his feelings resonated with me through this song. I'm so alone and scared.
today, im hearing this song with someone very especial in this moment of my life and I would like to remember this in the future. For Matias of the future I wish that you still hanging out with Vane.
La Vane del futuro también desea poder compartir más momentos como este a tu lado, ella te ama con toda su alma❤

Just got the CD today. Such an emotional song, such a great album.
I got the cd about the same time!
What is it about Radiohead songs and videos that makes me want to give Thom a big hug and look him in the eyes and say "we love you Thom, and you're going to be alright"?
Rest in peace Rachel Owen. Inspiration for many of these songs which touch millions. A light gone too soon.
Many of us would like to know the story, the timeline. Of their split relative to the disease.
- 23 Doors = 23 years of marriage Thom Yorke
- The image of a mother in every environmen, including Mother Earth.
- 6:08 Thom says: "half of my life, half of my love" but reversed. curiously he is 47 years old and their relationship lasts 23 years.
- Apparently, it's all about her love breakup
- simply great!!
franco melo inserting mindblown gif
jjajajajaj
curiously his marriage ended up last year, 46 years
Thom Yorke and Rachel Owen were never married.
That's not true.
Depression is hell, people say Radiohead makes you depressed. In fact, Thom drags you out of hell by your feet and shows you limbo before he takes you to heaven. Sure, it's a bumpy ride and you get muddied up, but it's all worth it in the end.
very interesting how not a sexy man can be so powerful with its lyrics and wild eye...
So powerful he becomes sexy
To me, this song/video represents one of the great tragedies of humankind. In the video, we can see Thom is looking for something. We don't know what that something is (and probably neither does Thom) but nonetheless he relentlessly pursues it, opening door after door.
The places he ends up in are fairly random in nature, alluding to the idea that very rarely does the outcome of our decisions match our expectations. It's one thing to imagine (daydream) about a better future, but it's another thing to actually live it. Rather than ending up somewhere better, you just end up somewhere else. And the thing you're chasing feels no closer than it did when you started. But you continue the chase anyway because well... "dreamers, they never learn".
This continual process of running away from the past and bargaining with the future is what has got us to where we are today. It's given us running water, cures to terrible diseases and the technology that allows me to share these thoughts with all of you. But make no mistake, we pay a heavy price for this, and it comes in the form of suffering.
An endless suffering that wakes up with you in the morning, follows you throughout your day, goes to bed with you at night and haunts you in your dreams while you sleep. It never goes away.
Towards the end, the music changes to a solemn tone. He's running out of time. He quickens his pace and desperately moves from door to door. But despite his efforts, the thing he seeks never reveals itself. Finally he arrives at a mountain. Death, in the form of a monstrous voice beckons him from the distance. Thom knows his time is up. Instead of running, he climbs the mountain to confront the monster that has taken so much from him throughout his life. But when he finally tracks it to it's cave, he realises that there is no monster. And as he lies down by the warm, cosy fire that welcomes him, he smiles as he realises his suffering is finally over.
This song doesn't offer us an answer to this problem. It simply acknowledges its existence and the role it plays in our everyday lives. But in doing so, it reminds people like me that I'm not alone in this struggle, that everyone experiences it. Consciously or not. And for reasons I'm not sure about, that makes it hurt less. As the saying goes "A problem shared is a problem halved". I hope In sharing this with us, Thom has alleviated some of that suffering for himself too.
Appreciate your depth of character with a comment like this...
Wow. This was intense and def made me cry. It's a realization.
Wow man.... you really are very receptive person...just i feel something different at the end of video...when I see the little campfire inside a freeze mountain i thing maybe it's hope....a little burn still flaming maybe it's what's Tom looking since beginning, he open many doors one after other one he ups stairs again and again open gates he walks through room by room..looking for hope....and finally he find it and sleeps tired whispering some words...my god what's Tom saying?
I think you are completely and absolutely correct, such an amazing interpretation of this song and video!
At the beginning I connected the dots between your comment and another one, which explains his vital issue around the loss of his ex-wife, whom he cheated on and even got to divorce. But after that process, she got cancer and passed away 💔 so the lyrics make even more sense to me if they talk about grief, loneliness and desperation for all those years (23 years = 23doors) wandering and losing the track of what is meaningful for him. It's like he filmed this after realising how unfruitful his journey after "the unknown" (another romance, greatness, professional recognition) has been whe he sings "Dreamers, they never learn". Until everything that he took for granted has finally disappeared ("And it's too late, the damage is done")
16y/o: going through this difficult stage in life everyone has, not knowing what you really want.... feeling like you're alone and no one understands you, daydreaming wherever you can, living in your own world, own thoughts.. everytime i feel like this, I go back in my studio together with Radiohead and crank the volume all the way up. Thank you to every musician out there for bringin the people (and yourself;)) a beautiful (second) world they can live in 🥺

In the many years that I have, I have listened to a variety of music, but the work of Radiohead and exactly this song Daydreaming made me realize that they are my number one in music.
Radiohead is a masterpiece in itself.
I love how there are just 9 other people in the beginning frame walking in the same direction only to be snubbed out at the very beginning as if they are all going on a similar journey as Yorke. Wandering aimlessly but still on a same path as him. Seems like a dream for sure. But they all seem to be on a same path as him who seem lost but need to find a way to keep on going.
Radiohead aged like a fine wine. This is maybe their best work
AMSP is definitely in my top 3. Only beaten by Kid A and then In Rainbows.
@@Christian-97 AMSP is the most texturally brilliant and creative, I think - the songs are all extremely creative. Kid A is very close, but I like the latter as an album more.
@@Christian-97 easily their top 3 best records. I’m glad we agree. Kid A would be my number 1 and AMSP my 2nd. In Rainbows is 3rd for me. A Moon Shaped Pool is undoubtedly their most seamless record in my opinion, it flows like magic, while Kid A is intentionally fragmented, and In Rainbows’ is collage-like.
@@kyleplatz3751 In retrospect, AMSP is now my second fav album and Kid A is now my third favorite. I didn't get the hype at first when I first listened to it, but now I absolutely love it.
P.S: Seems we have different takes on the flow of the respective albums, I always thought that AMSP didn't flow well because of the "fast paced song first and slow ballad song next" thing the whole album has going on, same with the first half of Kid A, while the second half flows greatly. I think In Rainbows has the best flow of all of them.
@@Christian-97 Interesting! I find AMSP has this very meander-y dreamlike quality to it. I’ve always thought the tracklist just flows so beautifully, it’s almost like a stream, each track just melts into the next one (for me at least). I’ve always thought In Rainbows has some jarring moments, particularly the transition from the growl-y “All I Need” to the plucky, folksy “Faust Arp”. Still, love them all so much haha.
You can feel the beauty and the pain in this song.

Yeah. Pretty strong. :-)
yes, absolutely..
How did I live in this world without knowing this song existed. Feels like it came out of my soul.
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
7 years, and I'm still stunned//amazed by this song.
We spend our lives from room to room watching others go by as we move away until we find a place for ourselves to be alone with our dreams. Then, we realize we've always been alone with our dreams.
Nice quote.
If you think that's what the song is about I think your wrong.
That's my interpretation of the video, not the song itself. What's your take on it?
+Hector Reguenga well that's not what it's about tho. It's about how he just divorced his wife and all the rooms are different years he was with his wife each room is one year and in the last part that was him saying half of my life because it was half of his life that he was with her.
I'm aware that TY's relationship influenced the writing of the song like how the low pitched words at the end say 'half of my life' and even in the video he goes across 23 rooms which is the amount of years the relationship lasted (TY was likely 46 when he wrote the song, half of his life). Even when drawing from personal experience there's an aspect of art that is left to grow on the audience. My personal interpretation is that he tried to extract the feeling of drifting apart from his partner (not wife since they never married) because of his 'daydreaming'. The listener may not had a romantic relationship like that, but may have, at some moment, felt isolated or alienated from being 'somewhere else' at times. There is actual research on a condition called 'maladaptive daydreaming' in which people self-hipnotize and drift off to fantasy worlds or cling to memories to avoid experiencing the pain of the 'material' world. He is using his own experience to relate to the world at large, art is not about meaning one absolute thing even if the creator wants to.
The vocals in reverse say “half my life”. 25 years with the same woman, and he wouldn’t change a day.
twin peaks
@@portvongone6531 lol yes
uh, no. Several critics felt the lyrics were coloured by Radiohead singer Thom Yorke's separation from his partner of 23 years Rachel Owen.
@@anonugh who sadly passed away shortly after....
@@masterxyr It's true.. I was reading about that recently. Sad
I lost my father to cancer a week ago, he was only 65. My dad only started experiencing symptoms 3 months ago and was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer 2 months ago. Everything happened so fast I cannot even process any of it as it feels so unreal, the only thing I feel is a unbearable pain of losing the most important person in my life that did so much for my brother and me and loved both his children and his wife so so much. He deeply enjoyed music with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Judas Preist ranking among his favorites but he would listen to almost anything and went to about 600 concerts throughout his life which included Radiohead. When he passed away this was one of the first songs that came to my mind and now I cry every time I hear it thinking about him, watching someone you love so dearly suffer in pain from cancer is heartbreaking; the endless search of answers of why did they have to get it? or why is there no way to cure them? is a type of pain that I hope no one has to experience. I'm only 26 and have never felt this kind of pain and sadness before, I think about my dad from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, seeing such a beautiful soul taken from me like that has left the largest hole in my heart :(
ya vendrán cosas mejores
Stay strong for your pops. He will be with you forever especially when you play this song. I lost my dad the same way at the same age(65). But I was 38 . Addicted to cocaine at the time for about fifteen years.... He never got to see me turn my life around, but i'm almost fifty now and I have been sober for over a half decade. Radiohead was always there for me in the deepest darkest days.
I was depressed for almost 5 years very badly everything was dark untill i heard Daydreaming it has give me a lot of comfort and support .... its like "yeah life is shit" but there is more than shit alone i guesss thats the whole Radiohead concept . This is not just music its something else .... Hit the bottom then escape !
❤ _"We're just skirting on the surface."_
Sometimes you stumble across something that just stops you dead in your tracks. This is the best piece of music and visuals Ive discovered in months, outstanding and utterly haunting.
Agreed
i can see you're an outdoorsman! this is perfect music for that!!
well, perfect music in general
Amazing song paired perfectly with visuals by Paul Thomas Anderson.
truly.
omg...how right you are... just beautiful
how i feel when someone gives me directions to the bathroom..
"down to the right"... Que 6 minute video 😂
😂😂😂
Loooooooool

+Adam S Taylor Thank you for the laugh!!!
A moon shaped pool is such an amazing listening experience and probably one of my favourite albums. The production is fantastic with the panning effects. Beautiful and in a world of its own. ❤
Nunca me olvidare el dia que escuche esta cancion. El dia que se estreno esta cancion, estaba tan alegre por escucharla porque siempre he seguido a Radiohead, pero justo a la mitad de la cancion me dan la noticia que mi abuela habia fallecido por paro cardiaco. Me acuerdo que estaba llorando a mares y la cancion era tan perfecta para el momento..
mi mas sentido pésame por tu abuela y también amo esta canción y radiohead
Encontrarás opiniones al respecto en la red, York rompió con su pareja el 2015 y en dic del 2016 ella murió, aparentemente esta canción hace referencia a ella.
Wow. When I found out my grandfather passed away I drove 3 hours with Radiohead playing. He was 80 years old but it was pretty tragic. It was 12 years ago and a day from today. My family told me that he committed suicide. I still have trouble believing that to this day. I pray that I will find out the truth. I have found out a lot of bad things about my family and a lot has happened to me since. So when you mentioned your family member passing I remembered that Radiohead was playing that night on the way up to my grandfathers house and I listened to this song and it just hit me hard. I'm sorry for your loss. It's never easy. Peace brother ☮️
Vaya timing bro
@@Jeremy-iz6xs damn :(
At the end he's saying "half my life" backwards. The video seems to corroborate the idea that he's talking about his separation from Rachel Owen. The video appears to show him walking through all the facets of his life thus far, with him notably "going up" and changing homes, locations, vacations to the beach, hospital visits both the maternity ward and emergency room.
It's really a brilliant song and video that accompanies it. In the end, he's alone in his cold, dark, cave with nothing but a small fire to keep him warm.
He said "Half of my life, half of my love".
He only says half of my life
oh God....
he says "I've found my love" reversed!
you can find it in the official lyrics!
She died last 18, present month.
that's sad.
when your phone is lost and u dont know what to do
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The most epic response I've read now
Lmfao
lol
😂
There's a friend who's grandfather has been having a very tough go along with his dementia, but one of the few things that helps him go on through his day is the power of music. The elderly man loves hearing Radiohead, his memories of everyone else may be fading. But he he fondly remembers many of the lyrics of many Radiohead songs, he even tries to sing with the songs when he can. There are moments he may forget who I am, but he remembers me as the jukebox guy when I put on something for him to relax to.

Thank you radiohead, I'm a rape survivor and I listened to this after a PTSD attack and anxiety, Your music always helps me and sometimes I cry listening to your songs. You always touch my soul.
*Hugs u*
@@mr.charmcaster6747 ❤❤❤
A really big hug too
@@marcpalop8581 Thank you❤❤
Hi I have CPTSD and find Kava root and Gaba help a lot with panic attacks and anxiety. All the best!
Rest in peace Rachel Owen. :(
I used to listen to this song when it came out, as a departure from a romantic relationship. But when she passed away, I've unlocked this other meaning: the fact that probably she would have gone forever, and it happened. So sad, but so true and heartfelt too. I hope Thom is doing good enough with that. When you lose someone you can't reach anymore, is something bearely understandable.
This is simply beautiful, I can’t explain the feeling I get from this.
It is too complex to be described just by a single feeling one gets. Really amazing
Solo siente, me gustaría saber si hay alguna película o serie que ya haya usado está canción
One of the best songs i've ever heard in my entire existence, thank you Radiohead.
How on earth are Radiohead so consistently amazing?
coz they have always been.
I mean yeah but...King of Limbs though. I guess some people like it but....
I fucking love King of Limbs. I love every version of RH.
Try the Basement Version of The King of Limbs, it might give you access to the album
I don’t think these are random places I think they are places him and his wife had been together before her passing
I also don’t think the video was meant to be played normally. The video was meant to be played backwards. If you play it backwards it starts with thom saying “half of my life, half of my love. 23 years” and throughout the video it’s is him closing the doors he once opened when the video was played normally. Therefore closing the doors of the past and letting go of his wife who he had spent almost half his life with. I personally think this is one of the best videos ever created.
So the music is about him grieving ?
Taylor, thank you for providing that clarity.
Well done.
@@caralho5237 the video was posted before her death actually, must be more about grieving the relationship
AUroRA BoReAliS The whole album was released before her death.
@@bradoozy yes I know, I've been on wikipedia
It’s hard to explain but this song encapsulates everything I’ve been feeling ever since I started college a month ago. I really appreciate Radiohead and especially thom yorke for making music that helps people understand their emotions. Almost therapeutic tbh.
Also, such a great music video. I love how they get PTA to direct. He’s such a good filmmaker.
Anybody in 2024 - this song plays in the beginning of Dave Chappelle's stand-up 'The Dreamer'
who cares about dave chappelle
Music can't be this real. It's frightening.
Matt Male yep, it is frightening. We have been programmed to accept only music that is pumped out daily. With lyrics telling us 'live for today and fook tomorrow'. Beats to shake female ass to and for men to watch, get drunk and procreate.
I'm not sure why these guys haven't been assassinated. Probably because the amount of people who love them, will not get in the way of the marketing of the BS music. There will always be more unknowing people than those that know. So, it's not a threat.
This has to change, life is changing and times are changing. Ignorance is not bliss, neither is it an excuse.
Just heed my words, please don't attack. X
then hear Johannes Sebastian Bach, you will never be the same.
fuck is wrong with you
It's rare to have music this real, but it's a good thing. That's why there are many goods and not as many greats.
You're fucked up in the head lady. Music is expressed anyway someone feels it should be expressed. Who the fuck are you to judge?
This sounds like Thom Yorke singing in his sleep during an afternoon nap. I'm not sure if music can get anymore personal and beautiful than this.
I love how so many Radiohead songs still haven’t figured out whether they’re in a minor or major key.
My favorite song of all time.
This is what happens when everything hurts and nothing matters anymore.
amie 😔
As I was watching this video, Thom Yorke entered my room for a brief moment and exited out through my closet.

Hi I Recommend a song Called 'the Bond Villain' by Robert Nix
same…
@redskies4530 thank you dear. I will download it.
This song is reminiscent of the sorrow and grief I felt when my father passed away. Absolutely beautiful. I wish you all the best.
This just crushes my heart and head with talent and creativity.
At the beginning, he was slowing pacing through the doors. He even smiled once when he was in a crowded area( a fake mask in front of others/ hiding grief). Then his pace started becoming quicker and more urgent. He preferred walking in the sunlight because it made him feel less lost in his mind. His face throughout all of it screams that he wants to cry out and yell his feelings to everyone but he can’t. His bottled up emotions are evident in his red eyes and twitching lips. He prefers to go out to nature. At first the beach, but no, that place is too crowded. So he ends up in a mountain full of snow. A mountain that describes his feelings: emptiness, cold, pale, unknown. He goes into a cave, a rather small one, contrasting to the massive mountain. It is only then that he opens his mouth and talks. He talks to himself in the small part of his mind where no one is present and no one is aware of the cave’s presence. He talks in a way only he can understand.
This endless loop of going through door to door is reminiscent of the stages of grief. He is stuck in a stage before the 5th and final one: acceptance. He isn’t willing to accept the death of a loved one so he walks away from everyone, puts up a facade in front of others, and doesn’t want to face reality. He wants to go somewhere where his feelings can be accepted. He can’t let anyone know about his unwillingness to forget so he goes to the fire in the cave. And lets out his words to burn. No one will ever know about his struggle because he burned it all in his head. The only problem is that the wound and ashes remained will only be felt by him. He doesn’t want to forget this ever. He prefers to always stay in his own personal “daydream”.
Wonderful
👍
🖤
Damn
TLDR
This song, or rather their album was released right when my dad passed away. This song in particular was a comfort to me while grieving, and thinking about him.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, yet somehow comforting to return to... there's a quality of being held by the music and carried by the visual flow somehow. Thank you for creating this virtual space and shared journey for all of us.

It's funny that at 04:04 a girl closed her door. I think that this video was shot using real houses with random people. That girl just wanted some privacy haha
Been a huge fan of Radiohead since 1995 and their music has helped me through different emotions, but this song is helping me through my hardest time. I suffered a serious car accident a few years back losing three of my best friends and breaking my back in several places and now I'm trying to come off painkillers that I've become addicted to since then and this music is helping me through the most difficult thing I've ever experienced.. I sincerely feel for those who have to go through such withdrawal, it's not easy but I'm sure the other side will be better.

Hace ya 8 años que nos regalaron esta obra maestra.
Having survived the dark enchantments and terror of There There, the Forest of Nowhere, I'm here Daydreaming, Soul Searching, leaving behind my footsteps, letting go, traveling forth, having become free, and finally finding peace and quiet-within myself.
I didn't raise you in a barn Thomas Edward York!
Oh you've come from that video💀?
Ohh i see, so you came from there
A man of culture
Been looking for this comment.
priceless comment
When Thom opened the final door and it reveals a stunning shot of a snow capped mountain. The song is already beautiful throughout and then it just cranks up to another level at the end. This why 'Daydreaming' will forever be one of Radiohead's classic and a classic song in the music world.
Best shot of the entire video.
+MrBonniesdaddy but kid a itself isn't that original. A lot of them sound styles were done before
This is unlike any Radiohead song's because of its dreampop composition, and sampled atmosphere that reflects epiphanies and allusions that the person is having.
Anyone got the feeling of the movie inception? I got the same vibes watching this.
+Tenshi more like The Adjustment Bureau to be honest.
