If you get a chance to see them live, don't hesitate. One of the greatest live shows I've seen in decades. The best gift you could give yourself.
100% agree! saw them in Dallas and they were incredible! seeing them again in June
Was just thinking the same thing. Unforgettable memories from the the Miami show this year.
Was just about to make the decision and saw your comment. T H A N K S
LOOOOOOK AT ALLLLLLL THE PRETTTTTYYYYYY LIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSS
They are gods pure and simple! Thom is definitely not from this world or he's on his hundredth reincarnation...just otherworldly.
Thank goodness for The Smile (Yorke, Greenword, and Skinner) for creating music that makes you feel a lot of emotions at once.
Thank you for clarifying that The Smile does in fact, consist of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner
i saw the smile live in Stockholm yesterday and it was such an experience!!!! Jonny playing the guitar with a bow and later also playing the harp and the piano AT THE SAME TIME!!! Radiohead and The Smile are honestly the most phenomenal bands right now in my opinion. And Thom Yorke is truly a genius, I’ve never seen so much talent in songwriting before.
I agree.. Thom is actually better live which is a rare quality. I never miss a chance to see him. I saw radioed atoms for peace and tomorrow's modern boxes all of which were amazing. Can't wait to see this
Totally agree, saw them last friday in Amsterdam and I'm soo happy I managed to buy an overpriced ticket on the "black market" because it was very likely the best concert of my 45 yr old life. This album played life, with the sound quality that they arranged and all the "extras" that you mencioned, Jonny playing the harp and whole commitment that these guys still put in a life concert after all these years, its just mindblowing. Its a bit corny but I really feel privileged to be an "all things about Thom Yorke" fan. This guy single handed made me realize that its ok to be "different" in my most important and fragil stage in my life...my teenager years and now after 30 yrs he's still there very much present like a very trusted and reliable friend. Amazing stull...happy days 🙏
@@luispinheirodosmontes7219 right, i feel so lucky to have gotten to see them perform live. Yet, something that bothers me a bit, is that i wish i could’ve been born early enough to be able to see radiohead become radiohead and like be a part of their younger lives and all that. But since I’m 16 I lost that opportunity. I do have the luck of growing up in an online world though, which gives me the possibility to watch old interviews and old concerts and stuff like that. Overall im just really happy i discovered them while they are still touring and releasing new music. I feel so so lucky to live in the same timeline as radiohead.
I have to agree on that! I've seen Radiohead live 10 times, and gonna see The Smile live at TW Classic (June 25th). I feel almost ashamed that I haven't discovered them before their release of OK Computer 😕. Such great musicians and they keep on going to renew themselves.
Brilliant. I can't wait for the Boston show.
thom yorke is a gift that keeps giving
Gun light gun light

....
favorite track from live shows and the album, so rhythmic and energetic yet so gentle, love it! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much😘😘😘😘
This song in particular... struck hard.
Such a great album... Truly an amazing mix of Yorke's genius and Johnny's raw talent.. Add to that those great drum patterns, et voilà
Thom in drop C is always special. Reminds me of These are my twisted words.
Happy b'day thom yorke🎉
i just love this song so much
How can it be so beautiful?
i absolutely love this band, please please make more albums
they are currently writing new songs as they're touring so I'm sure a new album is coming soon!
This one is my favorite. It’s beautiful. Every moment unfolding is perfect. Thank you gentlemen so much for your Art! 🙏💙
this sounds like it could be a more acoustic version of a song off TKOL, with the loopy vocal lines and drums/guitar
When you put it that way ... agreed! it actually does.
So many songs on this album can be labeled as leftovers from certain albums.
Open The Floodgates, Speech Bubbles, and Waving A White Flag are so painfully A Moon Shaped Pool
Pana-vision, Thin Thing and ESPECIALLY Bodies Laughing (Unreleased, played live during this tour) sound like they are In Rainbows B-sides.
Now that you mention it, this really does sound like an acoustic song off TKOL, I can hear it.
@@AyyyGabagool Open the Floodgates to me sounds like Codex. I reckon it could've been a quiet song on tKoL. It was written around the sound time too.
@@k-leb4671 Yeah it is so Codex, even down to the lyric!
I love this one especially
“Look at all the pretty lights”
top three on the album along with Pana-Vision and The Same
Thank You - Thank You - Ive been waiting on this one...
Masterfully done, as always
Just done a video essay on the bands latest album! What a cool project am I right?

ok...and?
Don't hate me for saying this but I'm starting to listen to the Smile more than Radiohead now, I never thought I'd say that about Radiohead, its the song "read the room" that has changed me, man I love this band
It really sounds like Atoms for Peace, which is also such a great thing!
Sounds like a lost demo from TKOL. Recorded at 3am in the attic of an abandoned mansion near Stonehenge. Or something like that.
It's too bad that I enjoy these guys' music but they always instill me with with such a sense of guilt that I can barely take it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going schizophrenic based on the hectic nature of the internet and the consistently terrifying metaphysical ideas that try to burn themselves into my head, I keep trying to empty it all out to stay in touch with reality, live my life in a way that's honest, empathetic and ideally inspiring, but so much of what I listen to in an attempt to find answers or new inspiration for art isn't just eerie, it's frighteningly accusatory. Love your music though, obviously. It's beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this, life is madness.
Also your art is cool
Thank you for the honesty, you nailed it. I've been thinking about similar things lately.
@@noot007 Oh my God, thank you so much! Haha, I honestly did not expect any replies! :D
And this is how they beautifully evolved into something new
Anyone who doesn't see the aural connection between The Smile and Radiohead needs to re-listen to "King of Limbs" and "Moon Shaped Pool."
Iam_thesmile🙂
Incredible.
I'm really liking this new band The Smile 😃
Not a happy Smile , the type you make to hide a grimace.😬
This song, it takes me Flying South, I wish I could, like the Ospreys do for Winter, then return, from Africa in Spring to British trees. 🌳 A new generation is hatching now. 🦅
Thom Yorke brings us closer to the Universal Truth with every measured word & note.
We are one.❤ Love to all you human beings.x 😻☯️
Same 👍
This took a few listens but when it hit damn is it good
it feels like a mix of little by little and these are my twisted words
This gives me heavy TKOL vibes. I like it.
And here's another one... Great song.
look at all the pretty lights :3 (x15)
These Are My Twisted Words pt. 2
little by little pt. 2
The more i hear from this album the more i hear a rapid pace guitar driven jazz sound.
I love this so much, also that they bring out music so often. It's like OK computer, but new. And now I'm old enough to really enjoy all of it
Reminds me of Kid A album, and particularly of Optimistic..
Dam this is an instant classic
the smile are one of the bands of all time
Yes they are a band.
@@benhenschel145 they are one of the bands.
This one gives me "Little by Little" vibes
Idk why this album reminded me of An Awesome Wave by ALT J lol.... I'm glad this album isn't just Radiohead 2....
I wish mix tapes still existed, imagine the ones people could share.
they do still exist. it's totally do-able if you want to
Best song on the album and since a moon shaped pool

missed the stockholm show,wrecked. walking uppsala looking for the boys
Lanjut maseeh, kai video kabeeeh
Lyrics:
Turned so nasty now
The dark cell
The pillar of my soul
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the spell
Little by little by hook or by crook
I'm such a tease and you're such a flirt
Once you've been around you've been around enough
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never living earnest, never get judged
I'm no idiot, I should look
Your clue on hold, the flag and pole
I'm curling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the seal
Obligations
Complications
Routines and schedules
A job that's killing you
Killing you
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never living earnest, never get judged
I don't know where it is I should look
Little by little by hook or by crook
I am such a tease, and you're such a flirt
good song, i only wish the video was more than just a rotating sun. where's the blue-eyed fox? where are all the pretty lights? feels like a visual opportunity missed.
hermostro
Huge Radiohead fan. Seen them countless times.
Unpopular opinion…
This album is better than the majority of Radiohead albums.
Ok computer, Kid A, Amnesiac and in Rainbows are the exceptions.
I’d take ALFAA over pablo, the bends, httt, kol and amsp
i could have written this comment
although i think tkol is still better
Now do another pm
This reminds me a lot to Steven Wilson, is the meme real?
Для меня єто и сказка и картинка. Мі же читаем сказки ради картинок?

I like The Smile more than Radiohead. There - I've said it.

Не особо то у меня подписчиков убивалось..
People compare this to Radiohead, but in reality it is more alike to U2.
this is nothing sound like u2 lol
@@jorgekech to their first albums (specially like Boy), yes
Still better than last Radiohead album
is thom yorke doesn't love metal or heavy song? this is just the same stuff like radiohead.
I will forever love the fuck out of Thom Yorke for putting something like "look at all the pretty lights" into a music context such as this
There’s something so magical about Thom repeating “Look at all the pretty lights”.
Absolutely love it ♥️
Yes! I also hear 'look at all the pretty lies' Might just be me though!
@@karlrobottom9973 I hear "pretty lies" as well!
3:39 "lights" is clearly audible. But I also heard lies at first. Possible he's alternating between the two?
In live performance, "look at all the pretty lights" is punctuated by all the (pretty) stage lights....th-cam.com/video/ZxUMKyOlJw0/w-d-xo.html
@@skywardstargaze1768 I think he is yeah
One of the best records of the year so far. Pure art - visual and for my ears. ❤️
This one gives me a lot of vibes from The King of Limbs
its a very similar guitar tone to little by little
This has to be heard on a good set of headphones 🎧 It sounds 10 times better, if that is even possible. You here Thom's voice layers and all Johnny's fabulous guitar riffs, intricately. A bit like looking at a beautiful painting and getting more joy every time you hear it!!!
It's actually Thom playing guitar on this one. Jonny is on bass.
i think the smile is the scariest, most nightmarish thing they ve done so far. Climbing up the walls, 2 + 2 = 5. Here we have pana vision, the same, hairdryer, thin thing, white flag and the list goes on. I feel the fear and i love it.
This song reminds me a lot of the clock actually
‘We’re not scaremongering’, etc.
Definitely, and I have the feeling we haven't seen anything half of what Thom Yorke still has fo give us....
There is still more to come from The Smile. There was this mysterious snippett of a song in Peaky Blinders, also from The Smile. It's not been released yet. And I kinda 'fear' the day it finally comes out. Because I know, from what I've heard, that song is going to tear me down.
Climbing up the walls is a pure classic!
The smile has a unique sound which is actually quiet different than Radiohead. Imagine they are in their 50's and still manage to beat the new gen kids in making unique music. Love it!
The smile feels like radiohead with no calorie tbh
The Smile is just Radiohead doing sidequests/a seperate arc
Сделали группу чтобы в клубах поиграть, а не на стадионах и поиграть то, что в радиоголове не канает.
@@Мммакс только ты не прав, многие песни они хотели пихнуть на радиохед, но отлили в смайл, например just eyes and mouth должен был быть на альбоме смайл, но оставили для радиохед, так что песни на смайл подходили к радиоголовам, это могли быть синглы или вообще части 10ого альбома
@@Randomuser2329 My twisted words v2
People aren't giving Tom Skinner enough credit! Guy's not only a fantastic jazz drummer, he's been a producer and fixture in the London underground scene for seriously like 20 years. In fact, if you pay attention, a lot of band materials (i.e. posters) put his name first! I think a lot of people are acting like this is Thom and Johnny with some drummer who happens to be good, but Skinner is way more than that.
Honestly, I kinda wish Tom Skinner was the drummer of Radiohead all this time after hearing his chops in The Smile.
The drummer is amazing. So jazzy.
Check out his other works.
I love Tom Skinner too
King of Limbs vibes from this one
1:52-2:42 is just pure Hail to the thief sound, I love it.
And outro sounds like it's from Thom Yorke's "The eraser"
Read this comment right the mark 🤌🏾
I'm getting all kinds of ads about teeth related stuff bc I'm searching the smile a lot. Silly algorithm
😂
I can't see the smile🙂
Shame on you, blue-eyed fox
Shame on you, blowing hum
Making holes, shame on you
Flying south for the sun (sitting on his hand)
In a while, crocodile (you're sitting on his hands)
Shame on you, blue-eyed fox (blurring his whereabouts)
A slipping shroud, way up loud (blaming everybody else)
Blowing hum, making holes (a hairdryer)
Truly seen, truly you (blaming everybody else)
Flying south for the sun (a slipping shroud)
In a while, crocodile (way up loud)
Come, soft night
Come, soft night
And pull me apart
Open my eyes

@@stephen300o6 Not sure. They made a livestream back in 2021 where they played this song and the caption was "look at all the pretty lights". Maybe they changed it afterwards, but I can hear it both ways, so I'll stick to the one that's kinda confirmed for now...
it's 100% 'lights' and it's a reference to the album title
Lyrics much appreciated @@Lellos_ 🙏😻
i wonder why they changed the title
These songs are incredibly played and composed but they can’t seem to escape a very odd landscape of depression and confusion. I keep waiting for them to go somewhere but they are not ascending. Just going deeper into a really beautifully crafted hole.
My favourite kind of art is the kind that makes you feel worse
@@rs6000_ Notes From Underground is my favorite book and perhaps the most existentially dismal piece of literature you’ll find, but it is equally hopeful. Somehow in the truth of that wretchedness, catharsis is found. When something doesn’t go anywhere, it’s void of soul. That’s how I’m experiencing these songs, not spiritually engaging.
That's such an interesting take! I'd never thought of their music that way. Would you say Bjork's music has that quality you're looking for? Or the band Battles? Or Floating Points (Movement 6)?
@@gw8813 I’m not looking for anything it’s just odd when something so beautifully crafted lacks meaning and flavor. A good piece of work guides you and you go with it. I’m really trying to like this band but we’re not going anywhere except deeper into despair. I think the artists are bored.
Interesting take on it. I think that music, as every art form, is a potential carrier for emotions, thoughts and expressions the listener want or need to feel, think and live. I found these songs deeply cathartic, made me cry multiple times and made me realise deep truths about myself and the life situations i was and am in. you found them a beautifully packaged lack of emotions. both are equally valid and true. I think this is what makes music and art in general such a powerful yet incontrollable force of nature.
maybe one day you will find some new truth and meaning in these songs, as I did with music I initially didn't really like. ☀️✌🏼
I hear shades of 'where bluebirds fly' in those vocals...a song I also love...but Thom has improved on that blueprint...these vocals are absolutely spellbinding. my favourite song on the album...so far
A Hairdryer is my fav song
An incredible drumming talent!
My favorite so far. Amazing work
This song reminds me of the clock; this could easily be a more acoustic song on the eraser, but I feel this is a more dramatic and powerful song than what was featured there.
This track and “Thin Thing” are absolute masterpieces. Thom and Johnny still crankin out the jams
I love the visuals of every single one of these videos
Shame on you
Blue-eyed fox
Shame on you

Thom è un industria musicale
fav song of the album
This gives me like... These are my Twisted Words mixed with I Might be Wrong, in terms of guitar tone.
r e p t i l i c
It’s a Radiohead album without Ed, Phil and Colin and I’m good with that.
My fave cut from this record. On a side note, I'd like to use this song for a future movie scene. (If I can afford it😭😭😭)
They are on another frequency!
criminal that this doesnt have at least 1m views
Enjoyed that 👌
The mark of God(rich) is upon them all. track 1 to 13 and the as of yet unreleased many cheeky live performances cuts. they are the bollox for your consumption.
I think Thom has been listening to some Mahler
