The feeling of insecurity or not being good enough. This song is so relatable in so many scenarios is the reason why people I feel really gravitate towards this song. A classic!
@@roems6396 Pretty girls can also have insecurity feelings. I've heard interviews and read autobiographies of attractive entertainers who told about their feelings of being insecure, afraid that someone wouldn't like them. It's pretty universal and affects different people to a greater or lesser degree.
@@jano5412 It is for her. Sure, attractive people can relate to this song, but she can’t? So that’s one of the reasons. She’s never felt insecure while looking at someone she cared about but who didn’t notice her.
This song reminds me of High School where the beautiful popular people floated through with ease and the rest of us were awkward and unfinished and stared at them with envy like they were aliens from a more perfect world
"I don't care if it hurts, I want the perfect body I want the perfect soul". Thom Yorke was born with a severe lazy eye - his eye would hardly open. He endured many painful operations😢 growing up but back then they were unable to fix it and it still doesn't fully open. He went to a private boys school and never fitted in with the other boys being artistic and musical - you can imagine how he was made to feel with a slight disfigurement. He has a nice face anyway and the eye thing gives an interesting unique look kind of like having a small scar❤️ it didn't hold him back that's for sure! This song is such a classic so many people can identify with feeling different and out of place when young and Thom always has the ability to put so much emotion in his voice.
This is the story behind this song according to this young lady that knew it" Sofia 1 year ago (edited) He wrote this song about a crush (I mean he was completely in love) he had in college, she was the most beautiful girl and he felt he was too ugly for her, like out of her league, so one day he got a little bit tipsy to have confidence and confess but she got scared of him and run. Later when this song got popular and they did a concert for mtv or something, that girl went and he got so emotional and kinda cried, his vocal wasn't the best in that concert but for a lot of people that was the best performance because of the emotions he transmitted
I was the same, only I'm not famous one day at a meeting we all drank alcohol and got drunk and I confessed to her what I felt and because of what my friends told me she just laughed
This song is about a girl at university who Thom liked but she never noticed him. Apparently years later she turned up to a Radiohead concert, Thom heard she was there and was so nervous bye the way this the first time they played it Radiohead - Creep (Reading 1994 is the best video)
This song was inspired by Thom's (the singer) obsession with a stranger. He was infatuated with a woman who was out of his league, who he'd never met but frequently saw in bars, and he found himself following her around. When he finally got himself drunk enough to build up the courage to confess his obsession, she freaked out. He felt like a "creep" and a "weirdo" and felt like he wasn't good looking enough or good enough for her. Technically though I don't think anyone is out of anyone's league. Love is love
while it may be true, its the exception most of the time the "Hot Chick" is dating the Chiseled GQ Guy or QB or Both in the terms of Tom Brady, Brady dated more Hot chicks , all 9s or 10s .... as famous as this guy is if its between him and Brady , Brady taking the Girl / the Girl is picking "Brady"/ the Guy like Tom Brady 999 out of 1000, thats what the song is about
I remember I was in my 20s and was approached about Modeling and thought it was a scam but the female owner of the agency then got me a Job promoting Liquor with Female Models, they drove us to the Bars, Restaurants and Clubs where a Male would team up with one of the females and we would promote the Liquor ..... when I 1st went to the audition (yes we had to go and then they picked certain people), one Female catches my eye, and I was WOW thats girl is like a Model walking out of a Magazine, HOTTT . man she would never be interested in me .... well ends up she requested to be paired up with me , we dated for about a year, she was trying to get a Music Contract with Sony and was in NYC From Canada ... this was in the early 90s, I went up to Canada to see her in 2009, she had done an album and toured in the Middle East (Her Family was from Lebanon) , was going back to see her in 2011 but she had died from a Heart Attack .... Life
Even though this song had a personal inspiration for the main singer, it's been adopted by so many because of the powerful emotion it evokes. It speaks to people from all walks of life. Brian Justin Crumb's cover is hauntingly beautiful.
Yea this isnt real complicated. He is secretly in love with a girl he sees as perfect. Too perfect to love him back. She is an angel. He feels he is a creep. The line " I want you to notice when I'm not around" says it all :(
Amazing. No matter what reaction I observe to this song, everyone has a blank expression on their face. The essence of the song is not about him considering himself garbage, but rather that she is perfect and no matter what he does or how he looks, he will be unworthy of her. It's not about his low self-esteem, it's about her being the ideal.
It’s feeling inadequate, probably most people can relate too.❤ You being beautiful, most guys are probably feeling this way towards you, knowing you’re out of their reach.😢
If you are truly honest with yourself, this song touches the dark, lonely parts of your heart and soul that you really don't want anyone to see... except for that one special person who will see you, love you, and accept you despite... yourself.
Lyrics When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around So fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here She's running out the door (run) She's running out She run, run, run, run Run Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't belong here
This is the song that put Radiohead on the map. They have many other great songs too:High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, etc...
Some people are scared of this song because the word creep has several meanings. There is a meaning - “pervert”, and there is simply a “boring person”. So, those people who think that the song is about a "pervert" do not understand this song and interpret the lyrics as something negative.
Yeah so this is kinda like alternative rock/ grunge college radio rock music from the early 90s , I think from 1992 if I'm not mistaken, I heard this song before , it's kinda of a deep song, in my opinion it's a bit complicated but quite poetic.
this song is about tom who was attracted to a beautiful girl in school but could never bring himself to go talk to her because he thought he wasnt good enough
The story I heard about this song is, the singer followed another college student. He tried to gather the nerve to talk to her, but didn't. I also heard the Lady he wrote this song about... went to a Radiohead show.
Not everyone. She is one of the persons who will never feel it as she will never experience it in her life. Some people will never ever know what this is like ever.
Oh yeah, and also, it's more or less just a song about someone feeling insecure. I mean songs have been written about that forever but this was kind of in a more modern feeling, but I would say an earlier version of this that is still quite modern would be that post-punk band called The Offspring, and it's I think either from their first album or maybe it's their third album, but it's early on. It was one of their early hits and they went on to have several more, and it's a song called, Self-esteem. This is totally 90s music and I love this band, although they weren't all that great live, but they were incredible in the studio: m.th-cam.com/video/EtNZnhxWLHo/w-d-xo.html And this was an early hit about a guy that doesn't have much self-esteem and he's just telling you that directly, and he lets this girl that he's head over heels with get to him and she uses him whenever she needs him and then throws hum away and all that. And it's a bit melodramatic but it's really fun. So Radiohead had this massive hit with this song Creep a bit later in time, which kind of captures the same feeling; it just does it in this ethereal and haunting way, which I feel gets a bit lost in this super up-tempo live version of it.
It's difficult for you to understand the depth of feeling in the song, because you would be on the other side of the story of the singer. You would be the special person for being beautiful and unreachable.
What Thom Yorke and Jonnie Greenwood made was masterpieces of their time. Was not my time. I'm over 50 right now. But I know what honest music sounds like...
To make it simple....he's singing about falling for a girl that doesn't even notice he's there. Very impactful song!!! The pain of not being accepted the way you are!!!! 🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎧🎹🎤🎙
She does notice he's there and that is the crux of the song. She notices him basically stalking her and puts him down by calling him a creep and a weirdo before heading off. The rest of what you say is correct.
He sees somebody special, even perfect, that he wants. He has these thoughts or visions of being with her; giving her anything she wants. But he himself sees himself as a creep...a weirdo. He doesn't even belong there, much less being able to get the girl.
pls react to any David Bowie songs, my recommendation: Young Americans, Fame, Station to Station, Lady Grinning Soul, The Jean Genie, Moonage Daydream, Heroes, Changs, Ashes to Ashes... for starters, but all Bowie songs amazing, He is music universe, every he`s albums like eccentric movies у него столько много песен офигенных, что сложно посоветовать что-то, такое разнообразие жанров, при этом он не только певец и автор песен, но и настоящий реформатор музыки.
He's in love with a beautiful girl, but feels that he's way out of her league. The ending is sad when a girl with him gets up and runs out of the door... running, running, running.
Same song, different artiste. Try Haley Reinhardt 's version of Creep. Might send you on a totally different path. Then give her ' All about the bass' a whirl. She sings it alongside 2 great girl singers and a band called 'Post modern jukebox' Keep up the good work.
He’s just saying he’s not special to the girl he’s attracted to. It’s just alot of men feel that. Just life. Happens to men more than once. Twice maybe lots of times.
Basically he is in love with a girl that he’s only very good friends with but he wants more. So every time he is around her he wishes he was special enough to get over the friend line and build more
Most men can relate to this song at one time or another in their life.
True.
Not just one time…
I just love his voice and simplicity of the song cant really relate but its common feeling for some . Never loved anyone that much lol
Whole, entire life.
Yep. But hey!!!! How do ya like me now lol.
The feeling of insecurity or not being good enough. This song is so relatable in so many scenarios is the reason why people I feel really gravitate towards this song. A classic!

He wrote this song about a crush (I mean he was completely in love) he had in college, she was the most beautiful girl and he felt he was too ugly for her, like out of her league, so one day he got a little bit tipsy to have confidence and confess but she got scared of him and run.
Later when this song got popular and they did a concert for mtv or something, that girl went and he got so emotional and kinda cried, his vocal wasn't the best in that concert but for a lot of people that was the best performance because of the emotions he transmitted
@One Tik Agreed 👍
@One Tik It is a fact, I saw an interview with him where he basically told the story. Almost shyly, it was really intense. He's an intense dude.
I was the same, only I'm not famous one day at a meeting we all drank alcohol and got drunk and I confessed to her what I felt and because of what my friends told me she just laughed
This song is about a girl at university who Thom liked but she never noticed him. Apparently years later she turned up to a Radiohead concert, Thom heard she was there and was so nervous
bye the way this the first time they played it Radiohead - Creep (Reading 1994 is the best video)
This song was inspired by Thom's (the singer) obsession with a stranger. He was infatuated with a woman who was out of his league, who he'd never met but frequently saw in bars, and he found himself following her around. When he finally got himself drunk enough to build up the courage to confess his obsession, she freaked out.
He felt like a "creep" and a "weirdo" and felt like he wasn't good looking enough or good enough for her.
Technically though I don't think anyone is out of anyone's league. Love is love
Lucky for us he felt that why , otherwise he never would have written the song
while it may be true, its the exception most of the time the "Hot Chick" is dating the Chiseled GQ Guy or QB or Both in the terms of Tom Brady, Brady dated more Hot chicks , all 9s or 10s .... as famous as this guy is if its between him and Brady , Brady taking the Girl / the Girl is picking "Brady"/ the Guy like Tom Brady 999 out of 1000, thats what the song is about

Thanks a lot for the description.
Too bad people are seen that way, from my experience personality is WAY more important!
Iconic emotional rock song. Everyone gets mixed emotions listening to this song. ❤
Even though this song had a personal inspiration for the main singer, it's been adopted by so many because of the powerful emotion it evokes. It speaks to people from all walks of life. Brian Justin Crumb's cover is hauntingly beautiful.
Yea this isnt real complicated. He is secretly in love with a girl he sees as perfect. Too perfect to love him back. She is an angel. He feels he is a creep. The line " I want you to notice when I'm not around" says it all :(
That's why we are free no other culture can match us That's why everyone in the world wants to live with us
You got that song Irina. His meaning is not spoken, it is felt, no words can describe it. Thanks Irina!
Amazing. No matter what reaction I observe to this song, everyone has a blank expression on their face. The essence of the song is not about him considering himself garbage, but rather that she is perfect and no matter what he does or how he looks, he will be unworthy of her.

There aren't any other Russian reaction channels worth watching. Irina, I've been watching your TH-cam videos for over 2 years now. Wow, time flies!
Unrequited love. Experienced by so, so many. Thank you for reviewing this great song. Wow, how very personal to bare your disappointment publicly.
This one and Deftones Change go together so darkly beautiful in emotional and a part of your soul hit
It’s feeling inadequate, probably most people can relate too.❤
You being beautiful, most guys are probably feeling this way towards you, knowing you’re out of their reach.😢
I appreciate that you reacted to the uncensored version.
I love my Russian brothers and sisters. Dont let our government dictate how we treat each other ❤. Much love sweetheart!
If you are truly honest with yourself, this song touches the dark, lonely parts of your heart and soul that you really don't want anyone to see... except for that one special person who will see you, love you, and accept you despite... yourself.

Girl, The innocence that is radiating from your first reaction is real. Let's see how this goes.
Lyrics
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door (run)
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
as a new Yorker I respect the intro every time i come back to ur channel
This is the song that put Radiohead on the map. They have many other great songs too:High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, etc...
I like how it hit you. Music touches the soul. Music is the best.
I think we've all been there at some point when it feels like the people you're with are so much cooler than you and it makes you feel bad.

this song is about tom who was attracted to a beautiful girl in school but could never bring himself to go talk to her because he thought he wasnt good enough
Great reaction to the greatest song ever by the greatest band in the world ❤
Most men live lives of quiet desperation. Thats what this song expresses
I watch a lot of music reaction videos.
This song really leaves people saying "Wow" more than any other song.
This is my song for sure. I'm an ugly, weird, creep that girls wouldn't ever date. And I definitely do not belong here.
The story I heard about this song is, the singer followed another college student. He tried to gather the nerve to talk to her, but didn't. I also heard the Lady he wrote this song about... went to a Radiohead show.
He did talk to her , he was drunk when he finally did and she freaked out.
Это очень прекрасная песня, мне понравилась твоя реакция)
Should check out the live (often called best version) and the emotion he puts in. You'll know if its serious or not after watching that performance.
One of my favourite songs, for a fantastic cover of the check-out Post Modern Jukebox, with Hailey do this song in a 1950 jazz style.
he feels inadequate
Everyones personal anthem at some point in their lives.
Not everyone. She is one of the persons who will never feel it as she will never experience it in her life. Some people will never ever know what this is like ever.
When I get from this song is that it's about not feeling good enough and feeling out of place.
No importa el idioma, el sentimiento es el mismo, cuando eres feo y te gusta alguien hermosa y sabes que no es posible.
Y a veces no solo por físico...
We love you guys here in canada:)
Don't just listen to it. Feel it!

dimash is great but he dont have soul.. its like robot singing too perfect
You get it.. you're not wrong
Ha! I'm on time))) I wish I was special)))

Thank you!!

React to National Anthem [Live SNL-2000] that is a Radiohead masterpiece.
It's about a man who loves a girl but has no self-esteem.
Most people suffer from imposter syndrome from time to time
Or ALL the time.

He is talking about you.
You are beautiful so there must have been scores of young guys feeling like they weren't "special" enough to even say hello to you.
