I'm amazed by his quick pedal work. He's double tapping the pedal that makes the "whack" sound, turning it on and off for a single beat, before going back to normal. Dude is skilled.
To be fair to Ed I think 99% of being a soundscape guy is doing homework literally all day every day, and then 1% getting on stage and looking like you contribute nothing.
@Your Fellow Brother It's not bad, but the album version might actually be perfect. It's maybe their best arranged/produced song ever (I don't necessarily mean the best song they ever wrote, just that they were at the peak of their craft in the studio for A Moon Shaped Pool). Decks Dark is a kaleidoscopic soundscape of ethereal beauty that doesn't even sound like it came from individual instruments. They can't do that live unless they take the backing orchestra with them on tour.
"A Moon Shaped Pool" for Radiohead is like what "Automatic for the People" was for R.E.M - a late career masterpiece from a band with an already long history of excellence.
@@booger7720 shout out to Austin Brock. Thanks to his TH-cam channel…there is about a year’s worth of full shows in freaking linear order, by year. Heroic, that guy…:
The second half of this song, where the tempo & tone change, just hits me like a ton of bricks. They hit a groove I feel deep but can't quite explain. This song is is almost like 2 in one, or some kind of extended intro/ extended outro experiment. it's fantastic & works beautifully
Watch the first episode of Ozark, the Netflix series. At the end of the episode they play Decks Dark fully. The entire episode built up to that moment.
I personally dont like music videos, i feel like it limits the interpretation of the music alone. Whenever there is a music video i like to hear the son alone first then i only see the music video if the song was “meh”
Was the one that blew me away most in early listens...still love it but love Present Tense, The Numbers and Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor (...) just as much now.
The special edition coming out in September features a second disc with bonus tracks on it, the assumption is that one will be Spectre but there'll be at least one we've never heard before
People often ask me what my favourite Radiohead track is, and my answer is always the same, all of them and none of them. I mean, it’s like choosing your favourite child, can anyone do that? However, Decks Dark does have a tendency to take me to places that very few other tracks can. Every time I hear it, I am drawn into a parallel emotional world that completely separates me from the reality around me. This may be because I have had the darkness come into my life, it was loud, I was helpless and it was not a laugh. Then I listen to Weird Fishes, think of my beautiful, and all is good.
Radiohead live performances don't feel like other bands live performances at all. In almost every live show I've seen or been to, the crowd is constantly cheering and chanting along with the song, or at least making some kind of noise. But here, everyone seems deeply aware of how personal this music is, and they are in awe. Truly special.
And in your life, there comes the darkness There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky And there's nowhere to hide You run to the back and you cover your ears But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard Now we're trapped, we're dark cloud's people We are helpless to resist In your darkest hour But it was just a laugh, just a lie Just a laugh, just a laugh Even at this angle And so we crumble A 10-ton head, made of wet sand This dread still covers us You've gotta be kidding me The grass grows over me Your face in the glass, in the glass It was just a laugh just a laugh It's whatever you say it is Split infinitive And in your life, there comes the darkness There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky And there's nowhere to hide You run to the back and you cover your ears It's the loudest sound you've ever heard In your darkest hour Have you had enough of me? Have you had enough of me Sweet darling Have you had enough of me? Have you had enough of me? Sweet darling Sweet time Sweet dark Sweet dark
This masterpiece continues the space narrative on 'A Moon Shaped Pool.' Thom uses metaphors of a UFO and extraterrestrial subject matter in order to portray the questions and the darkness surrounding humanity with such downplayed eloquence. The message of realization is captured on a higher level of awareness by the searing guitar of Johnny Greenwood, cracking the "wake up" inside of us all.
It always messes me up whenever I see someone commenting with that thumbnail. My brain always has to do a double take and make sure I didn't already comment on the video and have completely forgotten about it
Radio Head take their rightful place in the pantheon of English musical geniuses. They are the most innovative and prolific band since Pink Floyd. Greatness is a much overused term… but Radio Head are truly great.
You're a lucky person to enjoy it live. I cry listening in my room so who knows what would happen if I was there live. Lol. But i went back to that time stamp you mentioned and everyone was singing at that moment. It's honest-to-god the best part in the song!!!! So besutiful it could bring any person to tears who really likes it!
I've been at loads of concerts and festivals where I've been having a little cry and doing my best to hide it in the crowd. lol The first time I saw Radiohead play Scatterbrain I was in floods. lol
this man still sounds like an angel after all these years. wonder how he can still hit the high notes. i mean seriously, he still sounds like a teenager. (in a good way) it amazes me.
I had no idea his voice was like this or their music was like this... I heard early stuff, but didn't pay much attention... I'm watching ozark... and the music and his voice just hit my heart for some reason...
slow burning piece. shifts gears on you, from one build to the other. so damn in sync, they play with your ears, like it's all about to fall apart but keeps coming back around. beautiful musicians
AMSP probably their most beautiful, emotional, and diverse record to date! I can't choose which Radiohead album is my personal favorite because all of them holds a special place in my heart.
It has a haunting feel to it but then again a beautiful mesmerizing haunting.Thats the power of Radiohead and epic props to the cameraman who took this flawless concert footage
I remember hearing a podcast with Johnny and Yorke talking about this song and how they didn’t like it at first but than they heard the song on Ozark and the way the implemented it to a scene and they actually liked it after that
At this point, pretty hard to argue that Radiohead isn't the most talented act to come around in 2 decades. Purely subjective and I don't want to argue with anybody, but jeez these guys are genius.
I should be making preparations for the July show at madison square garden..Two boxes of Kleenex, a truckload of tranquilizers, and an army of EMT's on standby for starters.
this band has consumed my life .
I'm downright obsessed
Can't stop
In the most exquisite way.
Old ass Emo 😂
yeah totally. find new stuff but always go back
Me too... especially lately.
jonny's crashing guitar solo...like a lightning bolt from the gods
like an enima from the gods
Sweet Sand.
I'm amazed by his quick pedal work. He's double tapping the pedal that makes the "whack" sound, turning it on and off for a single beat, before going back to normal. Dude is skilled.
Jonny still has this quiet, wonderful stage presence about him
that's true
ed still does barely anything
To be fair to Ed I think 99% of being a soundscape guy is doing homework literally all day every day, and then 1% getting on stage and looking like you contribute nothing.
People undervalue Ed at their peril. You take his parts away and the songs are shells of themselves.
@@chaosmos24 Seriously. Let's take away each part each member contributes and see what happens.
They still have the genius, this track proves it.
they always will❤
This -track- *album* proves it
Hell yeah they do! 🤯😪❤️
Who ever doubted it? HERETIC
I love how they all harmonized for the choir part!
Was wondering if they'd bring along a mini choir / backup singers like Blur did...and Elbow.
I will never understand why they dropped the song from the tour.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
cuz it makes u sad
Probably because they weren't happy with the live version. The album version is one of the best produced songs I've ever heard though.

@@iankrasnow5383 nicely worded dude
I think it was difficult to perform live
"A Moon Shaped Pool" for Radiohead is like what "Automatic for the People" was for R.E.M - a late career masterpiece from a band with an already long history of excellence.
this song is so beautiful it hurts
The best (French) British song ! We all love it here in France
Dude this is the best fan video of Radiohead in concert I have ever seen. Great work.
agreed
Yup, a lot of other fan videos of concerts are really crappy in quality but this is really well done and I actually quite like it.
probably didn't have a good live experience though since he was looking through his lens the whole time
+alf I for one appreciate his sacrifice :).
...So we can see it on youtube!
I want the 'end' of Decks Dark on a 5 minute loop. one of the most beautiful pieces of music the band has released since OK Comp
Kid A is beautiful too
@@angelofdeath2898 agreed
@@mkrjvl7913 and ir and httt and tkol
Add to it ful stop
I have to be honest...I wasn't crazy about the ending until I watched this...and damn I was wrong. PEACE. MUCH RESPECT.
what a hard song to pull off live just because its so delicate and subtle...really shows their incredible musicianship
I wish every Radiohead show could be filmed like this. Amazing.
yeah this is pretty fucking awesome
It is pretty damn good
I'd give my left nut to see every Radiohead show filmed like this. SHit.

th-cam.com/video/X8SVtILZpCY/w-d-xo.html

this song needs a music video
Matt Wallbridge a basement version!!
Watch the first episode of Ozark, the Netflix series. At the end of the episode they play Decks Dark fully. The entire episode built up to that moment.
Agreed. And I'm from the hood 😂😂😂
Matias Grynczyk it’s quite amazing that Ozark episode. It’s like a whole 50 minutes intro to the song. It’s the closest we’ll be to an official video.
I personally dont like music videos, i feel like it limits the interpretation of the music alone. Whenever there is a music video i like to hear the son alone first then i only see the music video if the song was “meh”
Thom, Phil and Clive harmonizing together needs to happen much more often. Wow.
And Ed probably
I've watched a lot of RH vids but never seen the drummers singing before!
@@Hakucho64
Phil sings in there there as well
@@rpineda8373 TIL, thanks!
I've listened to this album so much, I'm ready for another album.
yeah me too, and that would be 4 or 5 years from now.
Outrjs please, they are timeless. listen to old ones
Outrjs OKNOTOK IS UP TODAY
like the last album, and the one before and the one before.. too much will never be enough !
@@kurorin7223 or longer it seems... last I heard they haven’t even started on the new one
Decks Dark is my all-time favorite Radiohead. I’ve had two dozen over the years, but this one just hits different. So under-appreciated.
Best song on this album
Yes I believe so, although daydreaming is also pretty good
Was the one that blew me away most in early listens...still love it but love Present Tense, The Numbers and Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor (...) just as much now.
This band has aged so well. They have been making amazing music like no one else for almost 25 years, and they still are.
Good to see these gents grown out of their adolescence and into a mature, sophisticated and peaceful state
Thank you Ed, for being Ed
+stephen man Extra track??? What??
Apparently the Japanese CD of A moon shaped pool contains an extra track.
Spectre?
Actually Timothy, I just checked the Japanese version on Discogs and could see no evidence of any bonus track whatsoever!
The special edition coming out in September features a second disc with bonus tracks on it, the assumption is that one will be Spectre but there'll be at least one we've never heard before

Me too I like Ozark
Me too brow - from Brazil

Lol hope y'all all good

when I first heard a moon shaped pool, I looked forward to hearing the live version of this
I've been thinking about an "In the basement", since the others blew me away. Love those.
And in your life, there comes the darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Now we're trapped, we're dark cloud's people
We are helpless to resist
In your darkest hour
But it was just a laugh, just a lie
Just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle
And so we crumble
A 10-ton head, made of wet sand
This dread still covers us
You've gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass
It was just a laugh just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is
Split infinitive
And in your life, there comes the darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
It's the loudest sound you've ever heard
In your darkest hour
Have you had enough of me?
Have you had enough of me
Sweet darling
Have you had enough of me?
Have you had enough of me?
Sweet darling
Sweet time
Sweet dark
Sweet dark
Thanks!
No problem :)

Most of the songs, including this one, are actually about coming to terms with his split from his partner.
Been listening to this album since release. Can't stop. Definitely my favourite this year. Right up there with Kid A and In Rainbows.
It always messes me up whenever I see someone commenting with that thumbnail. My brain always has to do a double take and make sure I didn't already comment on the video and have completely forgotten about it

I heard the track before Ozark, but hearing it on Ozark gave me chills - it's one of my favourite tracks on the album & possibly of all time.
Jonny kicking the spring reverb at the end is priceless.
Duncan Taylor ❤❤❤❤
It's not a spring reverb, that's his Boss RV3
Inject it into my veins
Switching on-off perfectly
@@antoniocarvalho2730 whatever it is we love it 👌
GODDAMNED JONNY WHEN HE KICKS THAT SPRING REVERB AT 3:38 ! MAGIC!
didn't know clive sang backing vocals on this! lovely!
This song makes me want to cry everytime I hear it, no matter how many times i've heard it. Beautiful
Radio Head take their rightful place in the pantheon of English musical geniuses.
They are the most innovative and prolific band since Pink Floyd.
Greatness is a much overused term… but Radio Head are truly great.
wow i cannot agree enough
Saw this last night (July 7, 2018) at the United Center, Chicago. I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything. WOW. That was incredible.
So far my fav track of the new record.. brilliant and terrifying lyrics!
Dude THE QUALITY! It's amazing, thanks for uploading it.
no one makes music like this. they're natural & unique, & good at it
The more I listen to this, the more I'm convinced that it's not only the best on AMSP - it's the best Radiohead song of all time
The bass in this song.❤
Excellent. They're in great form here.
this song makes me cry everytime i listen to it, it means soo much to me in my life
I was there ; thom's singing unexpectedly at 1:35 litteraly got me breaking down crying
You're a lucky person to enjoy it live. I cry listening in my room so who knows what would happen if I was there live. Lol. But i went back to that time stamp you mentioned and everyone was singing at that moment. It's honest-to-god the best part in the song!!!!

The first time I saw Radiohead play Scatterbrain I was in floods. lol
Missticou ur so lucky! I don’t blame you. it’s out of control beautiful and clearly came from the depths of his soul 💜
I cry every radiohead concert.
1:35 is actually Clive and phil before thom joins them!
Love how you can hear the crowd ready when Jonny gets up with his Fender
DAT Jonny Greenwood guitar part!. Epic sound!
This is a Masterpiece! Thank you Radiohead.
These guys are geniuses.
The raw emotional power and beauty of a Radiohead song has a way of making a connection that simply lasts forever.
For once, I’m glad one of you people with your phones up filmed this.
I have been to over 100 concerts in my life, but this one is in the top of my list...Long live radiohead
This was the first thing I looked for when they started this tour
The end of this song is just fantastic. Phenomenal album
amazing. this is what happens when you have good musicians and intelligent students of life who work with each other.
this track and ful stop are the best on the album, they really bring together all of the rest of the songs beautifully.
this man still sounds like an angel after all these years. wonder how he can still hit the high notes. i mean seriously, he still sounds like a teenager. (in a good way) it amazes me.
A moon shaped pool is a masterpiece. One of the best albums in the past fifty years.
Hi I Recommend an Indie Rock Song Called 'looking into the mirror' by Robert Nix
seeing this song live is one of my life wishes fr
This man. This song. Gives me the chills.
I had no idea his voice was like this or their music was like this... I heard early stuff, but didn't pay much attention... I'm watching ozark... and the music and his voice just hit my heart for some reason...
This is the most incredible live performance and video I’ve ever seen of this song. I mean it. It’s perfect in all ways. What a brilliant video!
best fucking band ever
Nicolás Fermín
Without doubt!
slow burning piece. shifts gears on you, from one build to the other. so damn in sync, they play with your ears, like it's all about to fall apart but keeps coming back around. beautiful musicians
Favorite song on the album~ reminds me of Subterranean Homesick Alien
+I just uploaded a cover to my channel- check it out if youre bored
that's exactly what I thought too. subterranean alien homesick is one of my fav tracks on Ok Computer as well
Yeah me too. I thought that the very first time I heard it.
@@GraemePryce1978 Probably the lyrics could be a reference in some way.
so many people sleep on radiohead, it's a shame😐
i like to go to sleep while listening to radiohead and wishing to never wake up again
Maior Tom me too
Chayne Cotharn Well, I always play my Radiohead (and other stuff like Hayley Richman and Sleeping at Last) playlist before I sleep, so...
Jeferson Pedro is the most beautiful thing ever
this whole album is a lullaby for me. I love it

to Radiohead.. awesome!
to the crowd.. silence when Yorke is weaving his magic.. :-P
It has a haunting feel to it but then again a beautiful mesmerizing haunting.Thats the power of Radiohead
and epic props to the cameraman who took this flawless concert footage
Beautifully filmed. Thank you Thank you.
2:25 - there is the look of a man who is 100% aware of his musical greatness. This is a masterpiece and so underrated.
I remember hearing a podcast with Johnny and Yorke talking about this song and how they didn’t like it at first but than they heard the song on Ozark and the way the implemented it to a scene and they actually liked it after that
Which podcast?
I'm in love with radiohead all over again !!!
Never knew how much I loved this sond until seeing this rendition.
Thom looks so good on this outfit
awesome track , everytime i hear this i think about childhoods end , series that might be gone by now .
but the imagery will stay.
This recording is awesome
At this point, pretty hard to argue that Radiohead isn't the most talented act to come around in 2 decades. Purely subjective and I don't want to argue with anybody, but jeez these guys are genius.
Best radiohead song in a long time in my opinion. I love the band but this song i can't stop listening too
wounderful song! My soul flies when i hear that song!They are super emotional. Radiohead rules!
your channel is literal perfection. radiohead is everything beautiful and melancholic in life🌼forever wishing i'd see them live one day..
I should be making preparations for the July show at madison square garden..Two boxes of Kleenex, a truckload of tranquilizers, and an army of EMT's on standby for starters.
I wish they never stop producing and playing ! Radiohead , the best of my generation
one of the best radiohead songs
I can't stop watching this!! Sooo Good!! Sound and Vision...Beautiful!!!
I
No, in fact, I haven’t had enough of you Thom, and hope you and the guys are planning a tour very soon. ♥️
Still can't believe I was there, seing them live...
What a great performance ! Clive and Phil vocals on this one were amazing !
damn the quality of this video alone tho hella credit to whoever filmed this
shit looks like a professional concert video
love you radiohead
Radiohead forever.
Moon Shaped Pool is, in my opinion, their best work to date. I can't get these songs out of my head; and don't want to.
1:35 this is like to travel through the space time to the infinity.
Thanks Ozark for showing me this! 😀
The most beautiful song I've ever heard.
For the artists here, try to pause the vid and draw the image. Had lotta fun doing that myself. Great performance.
Thanks for sharing!
Amazing quality, thank you!
This only proves that Radiohead still rocks! One of my fave band from the 90’s. Long live Thom Yorke and the rest of them Brit legends!
This is my fave of AMSP! Is just perfect live and the studio version is great. I hope they play it in October in my city :D
Clive can sing!
Love this song! Great performance too
Ozark brought me here
Me too
