-Thom, can I play the guitar?
- No, you're playing the f*cking lemon!
Funny you say that. I know they're all talented musicians, but I'm betting Johnny plays whatever the heck he wants to....he probably wrote the music to the song. Maybe you were just trying to be funny and I'm taking this the wrong way.
@@AbbyMom100 No.. I am with you on how you took that. Johnny wrote the music. It sounds 100% Johnny. Then again, Radiohead really is Johnny, Collin and Thom.
@@OfficialMyxomatosis Thom literally created the riff
@@rabidbwah3430 which one? The original piano score?
@@OfficialMyxomatosis thom actually made the riff. he got the inspiration from john frusciante
when life gives you lemons, play reckoner
Words
Oml, your right
when life gives you lemons - suck it
Or you can wake up sucking said lemon
When life gives you lemons, you wake up sucking them
Chords for Lemon ?

Thom on the other hand sucks on the lemon.
My man is a musical genius, I wouldn't expect nothing else
"Okay, so we need one guitarist to shake a tambourine and a one to shake a lemon. I'll be playing guitar"
“...aaand the bassist to shake a bottle of water”
Serving the song always.
What is the lemon actually for it's in teenage dirtbag aswell
Hahaha 😅
I wish I could like this twice
Yesterday I woke up shaking a lemon
Genius
Absolutely clonked it on the head
Wins the comment section
i knew this was gonna be a top comment before i even clicked on the video lmao
I don't feel like anyone mentioned the drummer. He is playing with a mathematical precision but also with so much feeling it is just incredible.
The rolls on the snare occasionally and the ride accents are just everything incredible musicianship
imo he's the most underrated aspect of the band. A major reason why they're able to play so many different styles - not only on each record but especially live, when they're bouncing between songs from different eras back to back - is because he's such a versatile drummer. I mean he can play the metronome on one song (Weird Fishes), play with some swing on another (Wolf at the Door, Life in a Glasshouse), then do some epic, ethereal shit on another (Exit Music), and even play weird, stop-and-start shit from Airbag next. He's incredible
Check pyramid song, Phil is a genius to keep in time to that.
Ed is just brilliant and I think there are some weird drumming on this song and some older stuff like on OK Computer.
He’s just great.
Yeah Selway is a legend
colin is just vibing while he plays bottle of water
Always vibing
The Man serving vibes since birth 🧚♀️
He needs a piss.
It's sand
@@charlieblockclocksnow probably from a beach halfway around the world
4:04 How ambidextrous must you be to play the keyboard with one hand and the lemon with the other hand like Johnny did here
he is indeed ambidextrous, if i am not mistaken
While headbanging
i mean, i'ts like playing guitarr. Only having keyboard instead on a fretboard and lemon instead of struming
@@todayness Fun fact, he is also partly colorblind.
he can also play guitar whole playing keyboard...with his guitar
Reckoner is the most beautiful song I've ever heard
It's tied between Reckoner and Nude for me. In Rainbows is a masterpiece.
@@Teeheehee093 videotape and house of cards are masterpieces too
@@ledesgaire The whole album is perfect for me
RCD RCD yeah i agree, its my favourite album of all time
I like the Tourist better 🤷🏻♂️
Lemon tabs:
--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx-- (repeat)
@@jn1346 okay
OK Reckoner
Ok lemonman
Thanks, I was looking for this.
Ok computer
A sad happiness. If I need to explain what is radiohead, this is.
I would say happy sadness.
Beautiful sadness? 🌛
3:25 when Colin shakes his arms and hands, getting ready to drop that bass line... he adds so much warmth and depth to the moment. Probably my favorite part of this beautiful song.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that this sounds exactly, if not better than the recorded version.
That's beauty.
it actually sounds better imo
@@kamblikritarth true
3:26 colin's so freaking cool man
Stretch a bit ah yeah lol
he's the sweetest of them all.
1:40 no one enjoys Radiohead as much as Ed enjoys actually being in Radiohead
He is absolutely the representation of every Radiohead fan enjoying their music. And talking directly about Ed, he seems so passionate about their music, enjoying the songs all the time (other musicians get tired and don't enjoy their own songs as much as it should be).
Colin's literally in pain though at the end
rightfully so
@@Icarus_II thats his bass face
Jonny is always really into it too
Thom absolutely nailed the vocals on this one, probably first take too.
It was in a middle of a live performance so yeah
@@dkoydvkhg00055 this sets are recorded in 2 days, so more than probably this or any song aren't first take.
@@oscarpuertas0 are they? I thought they are all recorded consecutively
@@dkoydvkhg00055 I'm pretty sure I heard Nigel mention it somewhere
@@oscarpuertas0 isn't there a contiguous video of the entire In Rainbows - Live From The Basement performance ?
All these beautiful instruments but thom's voice is the best instrument ever
I don’t know, the lemon is pretty fantastic
@@evandeanda1503 Thats a pretty strong contender
@@evandeanda1503 sweetest lemon I've ever experienced
The bottle too. What was even in the bottle though?
@Nick no sour notes
lemon is my favourite instrument 🍋
Me too! Yesterday I woke up sucking one
Lemon is indeed the best instrument!
Thom's falsetto never gave up to give me chills.
Fractals
Me too!
Moi aussi!
La perfection comme d habitude... ❤️🙏
J adore les voir en concert. 😇
4:34 Love how Jonny shook the lemon in between the beats of playing the keys even when it was just for like two beats.
he loves his lemon
I dont know why nobody mentioned it but, in 2:58, Thom's way to say ''separate'' is fucking gorgeous. He is one of the best vocalists in music history!
100%

Yes, it is one of the greatest songs ever written. Yes, this is potentially the pinnacle performance. But what really makes this great is Ed's reaction throughout, he just knows.
Ed is always on point and in sync. The effortless transitions each band member engages in makes it as if this band was one perfectly fluid organism.
Yes he does
Jerkoff.
oh yeah, good spot!
First half feels like the song is crying with me and then the last half is giving me a reason to try again.
This is real music.
Just what I felt too ❤🩹
3:29 I always love how he's able to effortlessly slide in with his bass rhythm with the rest of the song
YES!! Or how he can drop out and you sense it, but don't know why until he jumps back in! These guys are Beatle level in my books.
@@McFeedback1968definitely agreed! Radiohead and The Beatles are the only bands on that other level no one else can touch! Love them forever
New members interview:
Others bands: “Ok, so... which instrument do you play?”
Radiohead: “Ok, so... how many instruments can you play?”
Someone : all of them, except lemon
Thom : GET OUT RIGHT NOW
Also, Radiohead: " Okay, how many can you play at once?"
A guitar, a lemon, a tambourine.... and Thom's voice. That's enough for a classic. This song is so beautiful it hurts... amazing!
there’s no need to pretend that this song is simple, it really isn’t
@@animalbancho1726well aside from the percussion the main riff is only 3 chords and thom only really sings about 5 notes for the first half of the song
@@garmen- that’s like saying “this painting is simple because all the colors are just mixtures of red yellow and blue”
Drums
if you don't get them, than you don't get them.. but when you DO it is truly something special. very hard to explain.
They’re masters of arrangement, never too much, never too little, everyone’s got their own little thing going and it comes together perfectly.
I love that on one of their most beautiful and memorable songs, Jonny who's an expert composer and amazing guitarist and piano player just shakes a lemon
Yesterday he woke up shaking a lemon... 😂
Everything's in Its Right Place
At some point Thom Yorke just decided to bare his soul to the universe. This is just witness to that.
When life gives you lemons, make music with them .
Yesterday they did wake up sucking on a lemon. (Lemons are the best tho, imo. Prob favorite fruit by a large margin)
I never really thought about the fact that Thom is simultaneously playing this incredible guitar melody while also singing. The vocal lines coming in not on the one on top of that is incredible.
As a guitarist and singer, it's the first thing I noticed. I've just learnt it and it's way harder than he makes it look!
When mom passed away I found this song and I couldn't stop listening to it. It helped me accept the fact that I love her and miss her and life goes on for us.. I can't say much more
Same, it's hard for me to cope without her, it's been 3 years almost and Reckoner makes me understand the most painful lesson I've learned in my life "life goes on" but always the part where Thom says "take me with you" makes me cry, because that's what I would've told her when I saw her for the last time..
Reckoner
You can't take it with yer
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
In rainbows
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
Reckoner
Take me with yer
Dedicated to all human beings
Thanks.
Black shore*
@@stephenstrang590 no, blank shore
@@degeweldigekaas I see but it doesn't sound like it. No n sound at all. We all know that the lyrics in the book are not hundred percent how it is. And on top of that he changes lyrics to songs occasionally when played live.
@@stephenstrang590Still an incorrect correction
This song was inspired by John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, according to Thom himself. You can hear it in those pinky flourishes on those F shape chords.
Murderers - To record only water for ten days
Really cool to hear the inspiration
I love this fact because these are my two my favorite bands along with Pink Floyd.
@@deshisha2925same! Thom has also stated that Breathe by Floyd is his favourite song. It's great to go back and even here parts of it in the verse of No Surprises
And also the first time he sings “blank shore”, the note change reminds me of the chorus of Otherside by RHCP
This album *literally saved my life.* It was released less than a year after my Father died and I just wanted to be with him....
Then: IN RAINBOWS lifted me like a frickin religion.
My Father has been dead going on 20 years and I am still messed up. I have had a hard time dealing with the day he died and him making me go home from the hospital "to get paperwork", just for him to die while I was in the elevator to the parking lot.
*2 years ago with Videotape on repeat, it hit me. He did not want me see him actually die.* His 4 year cancer battle was enough. After all, I was his only child, caregiver, maid, FRIEND, shrink, and nurse.
I was so angry at him for so long for making me leave... Yet, Radiohead writes a song about it...
If you want to know about the pain of telling someone you love that it's okay to let go and die, well...
Radiohead did that too (Thom),
Give Up the Ghost.
I cannot listen to that song often.
Dawn Chorus is the other.
My love to you ❤
Radiohead is again like a religion to me right now.
I do understand the feeling.
Hope you are doing good right now in this crazy world.
2022
Sad but beautiful story, when I was younger (I really never had a story) but when I was 3-7 I was repeating Paranoid Android from the Album "Ok computer" and when "Daydreaming" came out from the Album "Moon shaped Pool" I was obsessed with it, I would play it whenever I was unhappy when I came home from work. All great songs from Radiohead, all have meaning behind them, even Jonny shaking a lemon for some reason.
Life's a horrible bitch sometimes. What matters most is what we do with those lemons thrown at you. For example Mr. Greenwood played his lemon on reckoner. Do or make something beautiful and let that anger and sadness fuel your journey and not let it burn up your hopes and dreams. What would your family want? They'd want you to be strong and happy ☯️🙏
Peace be upon you my friend.
Keep on going fren
b i t t e r s w e e t
it's in the lyrics
it's in the vibe of the song
and most importantly, it's in the lemon
Phil Selway is maybe the most eclectic drummer ever committed to recorded sound.
The best live concert from the best album from the greatest band of the world.
Je suis d accord avec toi !
I m agree with you !!! Best live, Best band, Best music, Best singer... Best, Best, Best !!!
I sow them so much times in France. ❤️
So beautiful... 😏
Correct
If you close your eyes you'll float away
Phil’s beats are always so original - such a killer drummer
That outro gives me goosebumps. Should have put that on the album version and extended it for around 5 minutes
Not necessarily my favorite part of the song, but 2:40 or so really hits me in this, when he says "In Rainbows" or "the rainbows." It's like all the music recedes and all of a sudden you're somewhere else, being told the secret, whatever that means.
Yes yes yes
I get chills at the "ooh ooh ooh" of 3:15
@@NoelleTheTeacher Yes! It's because it's the only part of the song that Thom doesn't sing in falsetto (at least in the studio version, here there are a few other full voice parts)
*Hear, HEAR!* I am thrilled others notice it!!
“Because we separate like ripples on a black shore” these are the lyrics - just a friendly fyi (Thom stretches the vowels of words in songs - id say it is a defining trademark of his singing) so some words can sound like others. You’ll hear the proper words tho now you know what they are 🤠
this is possibly or probably the greatest musical performance of all time folks!
Not as good as Siegfrieds Funeral March by Tennstedt in Tokyo but right up there. Certainly for a 4 piece.
@@robmaddison8645 5 of them, not 4
I forgot about Ed
Ed, you realize you're a member of Radiohead?
Ed: 1:28
Lmao
One thing i love about radiohead, is that noone knows who the fck these guys are personally, but together, they are almost superhuman.
This song illustrates just how much this band is perfectly balanced acoustically & how every note blends flawlessly with each other.
Just Beautiful.
There's that Rick & Morty episode in which they have to represent Earth with a song, and I always think "just send them Reckoner. It's the perfect song."
1:28 Ed O'Brien smile is the best thing about the song
ed’o briens smile is the best thing period
In rainbows is the album that thom's vocal ability really shines... this is just magnificant
this is my favorite radiohead song.... this live version is heaven
This is a BAND! Like a single organism with many parts.
The outro of this song in this version and in the studio version is otherworldly
3:07 that brief pause, then the "oohhhhh" blends into harmonizing go CRAZY😭
This will always be my favorite Radiohead performance. I love the way it's shot to make it feel so intimate, like you're right there among the band while they play. You get an up close look at what they're doing, giving you some insight into their operations. So it's interesting and educational in that respect. Not to mention these are some of the most beautiful recordings of these songs. The sounds really expand and deepen. And I love the sleepy, dreamy, minimal, warm lighting.
I totally agree... basement recordings are the best!
If there's a god he must have this song on his playlist for sure
Why not just say you like it?
Saaie Media lmaooo
I've always thought that this song was about God
Saaie Media because this is probably a reference to an old comment from the video of paranoid android
@@Spiritryptamine The same ! The Reckoner is Him, who is dedicated to all !
I played the bends to death and with the passing years,seemed to forget about radiohead, imagine listening to in rainbows many years later, WOW! Class is definitely permanent .
Somehow they keep making better albums than the last. A Moon Shaped Pool is one of their best, a contender with In Rainbows.
I have to give my heartfelt love to this track. When I returned to the UK from NZ in 2013 to visit family, Radiohead's Reckoner kept me company for more than 24 hours. 10 years later, I am returning to the UK for my father's funeral. No reasons for sadness or regret, but if Radiohead are available on the Emirates flight, it will make the journey slightly less... ...shit?... Love this song so much, and that's what memories are tied into.
Literally the most beautiful song
God what an amazing performance this is. Such a tight band.
When life givs you lemons u turn it into the best version of reckoner.
Whats better than this... guys being dudes with shakers and lemons
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Yesterday I woke up shaking a lemon...
Best Radiohead song by far.
In rainbows From the Basement is, and always will be, the greatest concert ever captured on video.
This song needs more lemon
I can't get over how beautiful this song is. I have been playing it every week for almost 2 years. It sucks you in and then the ending is just mind-blowing. And, hey, the bass you guys: awesome.
I get the feeling this is all out of Thom's hands. He's merely the conduit for greater greater unknown force that produces the most beautiful music ever.
Thom Yorke is such a beautiful person and Radiohead are so beautiful together. Amazing how vulnerability can be so strong. When you're stoned and everything feels like a sign and you're struggling to really feel, but this song somehow reminds me that there's a lightness that I only have to try a bit to connect with. This isn't some fake deep post, hope anyone who's reading this can empathise with feeling scared a lot in this world, almost lost but in love with it too x
I fell the same
I feel scared too sometimes. And when I feel scared, it angers me. I wonder how many people feel angry for the same reasons, when all they want is connection and security deep down.
We were all someone's children once, and we just need someone to remind us it will all be ok, we just gotta stick together.
Beautiful art can be that reminder, as well as TH-cam comments like these…..I’m so grateful for all of this…❤
makes me cry all over again everytime I hear this song, so fucking beautiful
What is amazing is they play the long game - this song was created a long time prior but not officially released until they felt they nailed it. Like True Love Waits and so many others. Masterclass
That “moment of clarity” at 1:24 is such an elegant transition, the song really settling in. Ed knows.
this song is at the same time so epic and yet so intimate. the greatest one ever written
Reckoner, it's in my top 5 Radiohead list, such a beautiful piece of music.
Can we just appreciate the beautiful shot that is 3:58 we have Selway absolutely killing it on the drums, Colin with just a beautiful amount of emotion in his face , and of course Ed with his beautiful back-up vocals. Just... wow
This is beyond fantastic. Thom finger picking a Gibson SG, Colin's bass slipping in like velvet, Phil Selway's drumming understated as ever but utterly masterly. Phil is one of the all time great drummers. His playing is so tasteful and in service of the song
Love that Jonny still got his lemon shaker :)
This song echoes through the forest when I'm camping like no other. Takes me to another place.
Slow heal.
The most beautiful song ever made.
This will always be the greatest song that ever will exist! Thank you Radiohead 🙏🏼
I find Radiohead's music to resonate with the parts of me that want to make the universe as good as possible. It's like the soundtrack to my utilitarianism.
Tengo 24 años y hace 10 años escucho está versión de Reckoner, simplemente pura magia. Un limón, una pandereta, una batería matemática y una voz celestial, arte es su máximo esplendor
Asi es amigo, concuerdo contigo
Ed always looks like he's just having the BEST time
simply genius
OMG!!! LEMON!!!🍋🤔......... When you know lemon is the favourite fruit for RADIOHEAD fans 💜🙏!!!
omg!!! lem∆n
Been a Radiohead fan since Pablo and this is their best song for me. Simple and beautiful. Thoms voice is what makes it
I full-on cried when I heard this live. My favourite song of all-time, by my favourite band of all-time. Radiohead are the greatest.
Achingly gorgeous chord changes. How I do love this band.
i love the way ed just knows that his band is in the greats.
This has gotta be the most beautiful song ive ever heard. Ive adopted a very specific personal meaning to thelyrics...at a certain time in my life when i first heard this song it just hit in a way like no other. I hear it now and im hit with memories of an old love... bittersweet yet pleasant to just remember as a part of my life.
Im so happy ED is playing the tambourine with smile🤗
Can't stop to listen and play this song over and over ... This is by far one of the mesmerizing performance i ever saw.... I hope it will live for many generations....
This song takes you on a journey, Thom's voice carries you on the Dragon in Never Ending Story, all fluffy and sailing through clouds. Just F'ing amazing....
Better than Porn
And more addictive 🤟
Definitely, first of all it has soul in it which is not the case in porn
FUCK I LOVE THIS SONG!It sounds sooo good live. My thing is to put on a really good pair of headphones( to hear every instrument playing), lay down, close my eyes and drift away whenever I listen to Radiohead. A great ride everytime. Or I let the music take over and dance as tho no one is watching 🤙🏽
Sound engineer is definitly the best
Amazing spund
I like how everyone has an instrument and Jonny just had a 🍋
Hauntingly beautiful voice 😊
It's amazing how good this whole concert sounds, it sounds almost better than studio at times
