I have been listening to Roxy Music since 1974 ..listening to Radiohead since day one & have only just found out it was Thom Yorke singing ny favourite Roxy Music lyrics the whole time
The story is that Todd Haynes had crafted the movie with mainly Bowie's music in mind. It's amazing how he ended up with such a stellar soundtrack despite Bowie putting the kibosh on the project. In fact, the soundtrack probably ended up being better as a result! Great work by Thom Yorke here.
@@bloodinthewater yeah, a lot of the "on a friday" demos have him singing even glammier; pablo honey has that more bendsy punk rasp that offsets the glam somewhat but their early demos have way more camp and theatric vocals
Thom doing his best Bryan Ferry. I think this is the best version of this song. Dueling guitars at the end (Bernard Butler & Jonny Greenwood!) are sick.
his vocal here is so much different than the usual way he sings i refused to acknowledge that it was him for a while😭 its so crazy how wide his vocal range is
As a Roxy fan who has been there since the off(hey , try carryin the first album through the school yard amidst the Zep and Purple heads) this is indeed a marvellous piece of work...no stupid comments of what or who is "better".Mr Yorke does a truly great interpretation....
@Orsojka In the first appearance of the song, when Brian is singing, he says "take two people romancing" but toward the end of the movie, the song is sung again at a tribute, and it says "take two people, romantic" as does the original Roxy Music version.
My favorite song from the movie and only today, after a dozen times I've seen it and a hundred times listening to this song, I've found out this side project by Thom and Johnny. W O W, I knew this was supposed to be something huge but not this huge ♥️😍
I know I’ll be dragged for this...since I love a Roxy Music. Seriously. But, this cover is so good. So tight. Thom sings in a Bryan way that feels a bit more deep. I think I like it better than the original. Omg...I’m in trouble.
the intro sounds so much like 'Daydreaming' from moon shaped pool that I'm thinking thom wasn't the only member to play on this. Does anyone else hear it? It's like a time machine.
Oh, I was moved by your screen dream A celluloid pictures of living Your death could not kill our love for you Take two people, romantic Smoky nightclub situation Your cigarette traces a ladder Here's looking at you, kid Celebrate years Here's looking at you, kid Wipe away tears Long time, since we're together Now I hope it's forever Ideal love flies away now The white jacket, mm, black tie wings too You gave her away to the hero Words don't express my meaning Notes could not spell out the score But finding not keeping's the lesson Here's looking at you, kid Hard to forget Here's looking at you, kid At least not yet Your memory stays It lingers ever Will fade away never Will fade away never
anyone notice a similarity in the intro of this and “Daydreaming” from A Moon Shaped Pool? Just found it interesting how alike they are despite being almost 20 years apart! Lovely little coincidence or connection.
Yeah, The movie has two versions of this song, one is singed by Brian Slade and the other version is singed at the end, by Jack Fairy. The first version is this, where thom yorke is the singer, and the other is singed by anyone else...
The reason most of you think Thom sounds different is because they changed the pitch of it a bit for the film (i think to sound more like David Bowie, if I'm not mistaken)
+Brianna Swanson nope, he's just singing differently. he still sounds like Thom with his lighter timbre but he's darkening his tone to emulate Bryan Ferry's.
Brianna Swanson if it was an official video I would believe it, but it's not. as a singer, I know that it is possible to completely change your tone and sound like a different person. Peter Gabriel did it quite a bit in early Genesis and John Frusciante does it in his song 'One More of Me'
With you MrJoshua ... I think it's the drumming, there's a couple of extra snaredrum hits in this version that make the rhythm much more driving. Having a slow melody over a quite fast rhythm like that just does something for me - like 'Unfinished Sympathy'...
why do people think high == whiny? i'm not blindly worshipping him, i really do like their music and i'm always critical to things i'm a fan of, regardless of any positive previous experience i have with it
@ScooterGirl9988 regarding original 2hb or velvet goldmines version youtube or film... this is the version from the sountrack for the film. and i swear from the film as well. if it is not the same in the film (which i swear it was) it might have been directors choice to pretend it was the actor doing the live song.if i recall in the time frame of this song its a montage of his rise to success, quick edits and random mock video shoots... so maybe the film version is just edited different
Who's the drummer? Very tasty work. Thom Yorke did a great job on the vocal but prefer Bryan Ferry's - i watched the flick when it came out and again a few days ago - cant get this song out of my head. Velvet Goldmine !! Any film about Bowie and Lou Reed needs to be seen.
@Trip Lucid I hadn't thought about Warren Zevon in quite some time. It compelled me to go listen to a song from his final album.. his version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." It leaves me haunted and emotional bare.

This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
i love you and the song
Jane H You should check out the original, too. Thom sings it great, but Bryan Ferry was amazing as well.
Chris A. Palmer I have and I love it too. I think both versions of the song have each of their own charms :)
Jane H Agreed
Written by Bryan Ferry from Roxy Music
I love how Thom Yorke sings in this style once and it's like the best I've ever heard it done. What a guy.
Holy cow I've been listening to this soundtrack for like a decade and I had no idea it was Thom Yorke!
Me too, victims of the brain =)
Me too.
I have been listening to Roxy Music since 1974 ..listening to Radiohead since day one & have only just found out it was Thom Yorke singing ny favourite Roxy Music lyrics the whole time
I am a GIANT Radiohead and Thom Yorke fan....and i had NO CLUE that this was him until today.
yeah, doesn't sound like him
same!!! I just fell off my chair !!! Amazing !
Do you also know of this song..? ;) th-cam.com/video/x74okadUIgQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RUISANTOS
The story is that Todd Haynes had crafted the movie with mainly Bowie's music in mind. It's amazing how he ended up with such a stellar soundtrack despite Bowie putting the kibosh on the project. In fact, the soundtrack probably ended up being better as a result! Great work by Thom Yorke here.
Totally agree. I'm actually glad Bowie said no. The music is astounding.
The soundtrack helped introduce me to so many other standouts of this era and began my lifelong love affair with Iggy Pop
The best song Bowie never made
@@primroseburrowswe got to hear Radiohead playing Roxy music
Probably one of the best covers EVER on this planet! Perfect musicians, awesome interpretation and an unbelieveable Thom Yorke!
I've been listening to this since the 1998 and didn't realise it was Thom Yorke until just now
This shows Thom's versatility, i thought for sure it wasn't him until he hit a certain note.
That snare drum playing is wonderful.
Such a great soundtrack. The covers are every bit as amazing as the originals.
Tom could be a glam rock singer
skins LI he was! The first Radiohead album is pure Diamond Dogs glam, which is why it’s my favorite from Radiohead.
@@bloodinthewater yeah, a lot of the "on a friday" demos have him singing even glammier; pablo honey has that more bendsy punk rasp that offsets the glam somewhat but their early demos have way more camp and theatric vocals
From beginning to end, just a work of art. I used to listen to this everyday in school
Yorke sounds like Bowie/Bolan right here!!! Well done!!!
Indeed. Hello from the future.
Thom doing his best Bryan Ferry. I think this is the best version of this song. Dueling guitars at the end (Bernard Butler & Jonny Greenwood!) are sick.
Brett Anderson from Suede should’ve had a song on this soundtrack too
his vocal here is so much different than the usual way he sings i refused to acknowledge that it was him for a while😭 its so crazy how wide his vocal range is
Amazing cover of a great song... I really love the Can-esque chugging-yet-gently-morphing instrumental break in this version.
this song is a Gift of Genius...,..during the middle instrumental you just fly....
As a Roxy fan who has been there since the off(hey , try carryin the first album through the school yard amidst the Zep and Purple heads) this is indeed a marvellous piece of work...no stupid comments of what or who is "better".Mr Yorke does a truly great interpretation....
I love Roxy&Zep....fuck purple though!
this movie has such great music...
Best soundtrack ever!
@Orsojka In the first appearance of the song, when Brian is singing, he says "take two people romancing" but toward the end of the movie, the song is sung again at a tribute, and it says "take two people, romantic" as does the original Roxy Music version.
아름다운 곡 ♡
Great Song, great Soundtrack, great Movie.
I love Roxy's original but Thom does it justice, Thom has a great voice..
I can't believe how much I love this song
I was introduced to this song while rolling on ecstasy 😍
your cigarette traces a ladder ❤
Your launderette chases my lantern. (Ferry was on coke)
The most sweetest ballad I long to listened to. And I watched the film on Netflix, most years ago.
My favorite song from the movie and only today, after a dozen times I've seen it and a hundred times listening to this song, I've found out this side project by Thom and Johnny. W O W, I knew this was supposed to be something huge but not this huge ♥️😍
His voice is beautiful
Wow, I never would've guessed that this was Thom Yorke. They pitched his voice down, so that's why, but now I can hear that it's him.
2HB = To Humphrey Bogart. That might change your view on the song.
WOW
Casablanca
here's lookin' at you, kid
I know I’ll be dragged for this...since I love a Roxy Music. Seriously. But, this cover is so good. So tight. Thom sings in a Bryan way that feels a bit more deep. I think I like it better than the original. Omg...I’m in trouble.
the intro sounds so much like 'Daydreaming' from moon shaped pool that I'm thinking thom wasn't the only member to play on this. Does anyone else hear it? It's like a time machine.
I can barely define Thom's vocals!It is so changed!)))
Why isn't this version on spotify??!!
I came here wondering the same 😅
If I had the means, this has so many elements in it that SCREAM to be made into an “intelligent” drum and bass track.
This is SUCH a great song.
Roxy Music totally underappreciated totally never got their due
til Rock and Roll stall of fame
Oh, I was moved by your screen dream
A celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill our love for you
Take two people, romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here's looking at you, kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you, kid
Wipe away tears
Long time, since we're together
Now I hope it's forever
Ideal love flies away now
The white jacket, mm, black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you, kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you, kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
Will fade away never
best song ever written about a pencil
or a movie star
This song is so fucking good.
fabuloso...
Now i beleive Thom Yorke is a human with a heart AMAZING COVER
anyone notice a similarity in the intro of this and “Daydreaming” from A Moon Shaped Pool? Just found it interesting how alike they are despite being almost 20 years apart! Lovely little coincidence or connection.
Roxy Music are so underrated
Romantic
Yeah, The movie has two versions of this song, one is singed by Brian Slade and the other version is singed at the end, by Jack Fairy. The first version is this, where thom yorke is the singer, and the other is singed by anyone else...

Brianna Swanson no Bryan Ferry 😉
@Erratum yeah, he sings like this all over their early demos from the late 80s, like here, for example; th-cam.com/video/UIyOCeKkV-4/w-d-xo.html
With you MrJoshua ... I think it's the drumming, there's a couple of extra snaredrum hits in this version that make the rhythm much more driving. Having a slow melody over a quite fast rhythm like that just does something for me - like 'Unfinished Sympathy'...
Genius
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
So amazing... What else is there to say....
Ferry is Ferry. This is a great version, but the original is untouchable.
thanks for posting this
perfection
To all my beautiful friends.. Who aren't with me anymore.
@Orsojka In the movie it's sung by the Jack Fairy Character. Its more of a soft, breathy version.
why do people think high == whiny? i'm not blindly worshipping him, i really do like their music and i'm always critical to things i'm a fan of, regardless of any positive previous experience i have with it
Google really should tell iTunes how much ad revenue they’ve generated by letting people ‘share’ this soundtrack
2020!
the forth best version of this song,what a song
YEAH THANK'S DEAR
This is absolutley amazing
In the movie at first there is the version sung by Thom, when JRM is lip syncing, then later on a different version by Jack Fairy.
I love the jack fairy version :(
I think that they like it that way
damn what a sad song ;-;
why
💖
@ScooterGirl9988 regarding original 2hb or velvet goldmines version youtube or film... this is the version from the sountrack for the film. and i swear from the film as well. if it is not the same in the film (which i swear it was) it might have been directors choice to pretend it was the actor doing the live song.if i recall in the time frame of this song its a montage of his rise to success, quick edits and random mock video shoots... so maybe the film version is just edited different
I think this one was used once in the movie, but yeah, the one at the tribute scene is sadly not on the album :(
❤️
@jum1801
I have a sneaking suspicion that Thom would roll his eyes as well.
@2HB2HB love your screen name :)
The film is ok - the music is god given
sure sounds like Roxy; Bryan Ferry's voice is so distinctive
Who's the drummer? Very tasty work. Thom Yorke did a great job on the vocal but prefer Bryan Ferry's - i watched the flick when it came out and again a few days ago - cant get this song out of my head. Velvet Goldmine !! Any film about Bowie and Lou Reed needs to be seen.
Ohh, mine!!
imho it does sound like Thom Yorke but as if he had caught a cold. nevertheless, a wonderful song. thanks for posting.
peace and love
2019?
@Indielbloodsear Yeah your right, when that Jack Fairy starts singing i just noticed it.
good
Is it just me or does Thom sound just like David Byrne?
To me it always sounded like he was channeling Scott Walker.
I love Thom
I like the original
Not bad drumming.
Good stuff at 2.29 or thereabouts.
is that so? I always had wondered.
Thom Yorke from Radiohead? It's good.
Butler and Yorke should have made an album
God-bless Johnny Thunders and also Benjamin smoke and Angelina Jolie.. Honestly also lest we forget Marc Bolan or Warren Zevon
@Trip Lucid I hadn't thought about Warren Zevon in quite some time. It compelled me to go listen to a song from his final album.. his version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." It leaves me haunted and emotional bare.
ti amo sempre
Why can’t I find this version on Apple Music or Spotify??!
@Orsojka wow youve obviously never heard roxy music
I love you SLADE😍
Where can I find this song in high definition ?
@Indielbloodsear isn't this the movie one?:p
Oh no! Ferry does it.
I hate bernard buttler, but I almost like him everytime I think he was behiend this song.... thom yorke... as amazing as always!!!
