Lex just blew my mind with this... "Well, I mean, I feel like static is sort of like the default sound. Everything is moving, everything is vibrating, everything is buzzing around us at all times... So much that it seems still. So it's like the default isn't actually silence, but static." There's deep layers to her observation, and Lex just sent my mind spinning. Respect. Weird recognize weird.
And the static you see and hear on radio and old tube televisions is remnant microwave radiation from the Big Bang being picked up but the antennas pretty gnarly
My friend and I used to call being on the same page, as far as explaining an idea to someone goes, "Cerebral Static"
Ha. Ridiculous. There's the alter ego active shooter and then for " a minute I lost myself".
The Universe is a sound machine that you can't hear in space...
Entropy.
“These guys like odd noises” Probably the best description of Radiohead I have ever heard
If I recall correctly it's sort of a crossfade into the beginning of "Fitter, Happier" which is... odd noises
Lead Singer Thom Yorke was quoted as saying about Karma Police: "It's for someone who has to work for a large company. This is a song against bosses…”
I heard him say something really different. That it was about how we steer each other towards moral perfection with our policing of each other. I also heard them say it was an inside joke bc they’d say they were going to call the karma police on each other. That it’s about stress and having ppl look at you a certain way. I have a feeling that sometimes the meaning of some of their songs changes as time goes on.
@@Comrade_mommy I read that as well. I have seen multiple messages from Thom regarding this Song. I simply chose this one, cause well FU*K “Bosses”.
@@browntabproductions ✊🏻cool. I’m def down w/ any protest against the ultra reactionary petite bourgeoisie.
@@Comrade_mommy I always assumed it was like that, the way it's making demands on a higher power over what is basically someone else not bothering them, the strange and unsupported projections as to what the target is doing wrong. Whether there's a specific thing behind it that they're not explaining or whatever, what they present in the song is totally unjustified and impotent vengeance, so I can only see it as irony.
If the story behind it really was Lex's guess, "girls were mean to him one time" I would never stop laughing about it
Wow, i actually thought that's what he was singing about without knowing that. You're just a cog in the machine dealing with all the politics/workplace drama and a never ending increased quota (demanded by your boss) that you will never be able to accomplish until they replace you with someone else. Can completely understand the perspective.
Love see your musical journey. Radiohead deserves a much deeper dive. The “Live from the Basement” performances are amazing.
Amazing stuff
They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen! Live from the basement is amazing
i dunno. i love those performances, but they're still better for fans who know the songs. In Rainbows studio songs probably still better place to start so you can hear all the details properly.
If you want them to do a deeper dive, if you’ve got to request on the live streams then vote if they make it on a poll, that’s how they do reactions, they make it on polls if enough people request them in the live chat… then listen out for them saying “poll is up” then you’ll either see the poll or you have to refresh the page live chat by clicking/tapping on the live chat icon (not the ‘top chat’ one)
If you’re watching and they say “next poll is the last song” then you can request a music video reaction.. just type video or music video next to your request. They can only do videos at the end of the stream because TH-cam often takes the stream down soon after that.
You guys should check this whole album. Truly a masterpiece, every song is so profound and meaningful. Check "Let Down" next time, that's my fav one.
Hole? "Live Through This" or "Celebrity Skin"?
@@alukuhito I didn't write a letter and that ruined your day, I'm so sorry
@@j.p.5806 ? You OK, bruh?
Lucky is my fav from ok computer
Let down needs to be done!
“Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself”
Radiohead! Such a huge catalogue of music worth the time. Fake Plastic Trees - infact almost anything from The Bends and OK Computer is a fantastic route in.
Agreed every track on both of those albums is worth reacting to.
Id also add "In rainbows" 🌈 and "Kid A" to that list.
There is a live accoustic version of fake plastic trees with blue lighting of fake plastic trees which is perhaps my favourite recording
Thinking about You - Pablo Honey (live version) , Killer cars and Street Spirit (fade out)
Please do more Radiohead. They have so much music that touches so many people whether its feeling in your sads or getting into a groove.
Finally a Radiohead reaction with no "Creep" in it. The rabbit hole is huge with that band.
Agreed. Hope to see more in that line.
Great to see, this song is far superior too in my book.
...and no Paranoid Android!
@@stevensorrell1625 That one deserve the attention though :D
@@yannhollister9091 I, in fact ,like both songs. However, wouldn't you like to hear a TH-camr try "National Anthem" or ANYTHING ELSE???
The default is that this is just one song from an album and it simply leads into the next one ...
That sound at the end is Karma leading you into a Fitter Happier way of being.
#7 - the song that jars you out of *almost* being completely tranced out
From by far the greatest British album of the 90s OK Computer
That ending "static", of course in the context of the album makes absolute sense.
I like Lex's interpretation though.
Paranoia is the theme of the album, naturally, and the depth on the majority of the tracks instrumentally speaking, is such a journey.
Yeah I was like, well that queues you into the next song lol.
I suggest "Street Spirit" or "Exit Music" or "Nude" or Pyramid Song" for a next Radiohead reaction 🤘🏻
Nude is so numbing and pyramid hypnotic, good picks 🤙
Definitely Street Spirit (Fade Out), such an awesome track.
I can cry over Pyramid Song.
Lex would love how hard rocking their song *My Iron Lung* is
Dis 👆🏼
I love how the song goes from wishing the Karma Police visit a-holes that have done him wrong to "for a minute there I lost myself". Like he caught himself wishing a bad thing and he is not a bad person. This has always been one of my favorite Radiohead songs.
Check out the song "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead.
Yes!
It's a must🤘🎧🎵
"How to Disappear Completely" for a good time..
On unrelated note, i think you'd really like Skunk Anansie - Secretly , it was a big band and a popular song bout 20 years ago, but i've never seen anyone on youtube react to it.
You stumbled upon one of the greatest bands ever, but I’m not sure if you’re ready….
Lex shouting "ARTISTIC CHOICE" reminds me of something Spongebob would do lmao i'm gonna use that from now on
Radiohead is one my favorite bands ever. If you want to listen to some of there weirder experimental tracks, then National Anthem and Idioteque are good ones. The In Rainbows album has some of my favorites too. Weird fishes/Arpeggi and Jigsaw Falling Into Place are amazing tracks. I know people keep saying this, but the rabbit hole of this band is very deep.
I was just thinking National Anthem
Greatest band on the planet!!!
"He's a creep, he's a weirdo." I see what Brad did there! 😆
Radiohead are brilliant
In my opinion she understands where this song comes from at a significant deep level for him. So interesting. I’d never considered that interpretation.
Within the context of the record this is from 'OK Computer' this song immediately proceeds 'Fitter Happier' - which is a robotic voice writing the code of humanity. The static sound at the end of this track (to me) represents the technological taking over from the human.
It’s “Phew for a minute there, I lost myself..”
The reaction to immediately apologize for the creep/weirdo joke shows you already know about the karma police. 😁
One of those bands where there's no need to look for a genre. They're simply Radiohead and this is one of the greatest albums ever conceived.
I love to watch you guys try to figure out the meaning of the songs. Just that you actively listen to them makes me happy.
Do Radiohead "Let Down". One of my favs and people don't react enough to that song. It's beautiful and sonically lush.
I agree. That’s a great song, I think it just gets overlooked because there’s so many other great songs on that album. I honestly would love it if they reacted to this whole album
Agreed. "Let Down" is amazing. Easily my favorite song from this band.
A total classic. I wish more piano songs had drums that hit so hard.
You guys are my fave you-tubers - I love how Brad interprets songs lyrically and Lex gets into it musically yet often will still get deeper into it’s meaning.
I know you guys get all of your reaction videos from your live streams. But it'd be awesome if you guys did a full album reaction to OK Computer. You could do it as a live stream and then maybe release each track individually over time on here. Its definitely an album worth listening to in its entirety and as a whole.
Yes!! I’d recommend:
- Let Down
- Reckoner
- 2+2=5
- There, There
- No Surprises
- Bodysnatchers
Man, I think Lex's view on this is really interesting. Really thoughtful. I've listened to Radiohead for literally years...I'm an uber Radiohead geek...and I've never really thought about this track in this way. Thanks guys!
I always linked that outtro as a representation with the whole part that he's like a detuned radio and such.
Sail to the Moon, and Go to Sleep are two gems
he speaks in math, buzzes like a fridge, sounds like a detuned radio
Thank you for saying that about the piano. I feel like the piano doesn’t get the love it deserves.
I see this song as a daydream in which he fantasises about Karma catching up to people who have upset him and the static noise and him saying "for a moment there I lost myself" is him coming out of the daydream.
Watched a few radiohead recs now and i can see that Lex is bang into them now lmao funny but understandable transition. Great band.
I think the song is more about self-righteousness and the sense of moral superiority that pretty much everyone experiences at some point. The narrator is wishing ill on other people for super minor annoyances to him, and then the "For a minute there I lost myself" is him coming to his senses.
I'm living this song right now. Geeze.
When Lex just shouts "ARTISTIC CHOICE!" 🤣🤣🤣
SImply the most important album of the 90s. People have called it the Sgt Peppers of the 90s. And speaking of The Beatles, I read that Thom Yorke was trying to write something like I Am The Walrus for the outro of this song. You can hear it if you think about both songs. Lex had some good insights on this one.
Great reaction guys keep up the good work. The song Bones off The Bends album is another classic.👍🏼
You really should react to "I've Seen it All" by Bjork and Thom Yorke (Radiohead's lead singer)... I'm looking at you, Brad.
I always took that sound at the end to represent a deteriorating mental state, or deteriorating grip or control of emotion. Or maybe the opposite, a return to chaos/static that he used to drown out the other thoughts, we dipped into a vindictive frame for a minute, then gain control by blocking out those thoughts, the static.
For the casual listener, I think Street Spirit, There There, idioteque, Paranoid Android and 15 Steps would be the best Radiohead exposure.
I remember coming home from HS watching this on MTV, 1996-97 so good
Thom Yorke's voice is a thing of beauty. The piano always reminds me of some later Beatles songs.
Radiohead for life! Keep in mind you can never 100% figure them them out. They are different for everyone.
I think you nailed it Lex.
Hoping the people who hurt you get their Karma, but then getting so lost in negative thoughts that you risk unbalancing yourself emotionally.
Great stuff.
they are definitely a vibe...with a drink in hand and headphones on
High and dry is another masterpiece my favourite from one of their best album “The Bends”
As I remember they were using home built synths and drum machines taht sounded like they were jsut about to break down to give that feeling that things were about to spin out of control. That is where the static at the end comes in.
Lex bopping her head is super cute!
It has been said, Forgiveness is, the stoppage of The Wheel Of Karma.
So glad you did another Radiohead song. I’d say keep going with their more popular songs first, as they are great as well. I’d hit up Fake Plastic Trees or Paranoid Android Next. Can’t go wrong.
sometimes you have to be careful with the karma.. its tempting to wish they get what you think they deserve, but they do get what they deserve, and so do you, because they are what they are, and you are too
At the end end that was like watching a couple hamsters philosophy about the food they were just given
Radiohead are a genre unto themselves.
The song comes 360 back on itself from the dysfunction to the static.
Don't be different or you'll pay dearly.
Love this one. Has a vibe that few other songs can match.
Such a great reaction guys, and a role reversal too 😃 Brad talking about how cool the musical choices are and Lex smashing the lyrical meaning. I love how your progressing in this musical journey. The genre here would probably be labelled "alternative" or "alt-rock" in the US, but here in the UK they are known as an Indie band, and in my opinion, the greatest Indie band of all time by a million miles.
Hi guys, I love your work.
Please consider another great Radiohead song, Fake Plastic Trees.
It is one of the most beautiful and moving songs I have ever heard.
Thanks again .😊
I think the song is about performative morality and calling out transgressors, but from 1997, before twitter was even a thing.
‘Symbolic static’ Lex absolutely nailed haha amazing description!!
Radiohead - High & Dry 💙
This official video is powerfully haunting.
U guys need to check out more RADIOHEAD
Ends the set or encores now. " For a minute there I lost myself" is an obligatory sing along.
I'm gonna start saying "artistic choice!" at things now lol
The dudes so brilliant with every song he writes he’s got a mini movie in the works to help us get the message.
one of my favorite song, has a great non-lyric video to it too....
Best band of the last 30 years easily
I want a gif of the 'artistic choice!!' 😂😂😂😂
Music video is pretty gnarly too! Such a good band - Thom Yorke's singing & songwriting is top notch! Cheers!
Best Album of the 90's- they were ahead of their time.
Piano reminds me of the piano on Sexy Sadie by The Beatles. Would make a good mash-up!
It's about a mixed bag of revenge, redemption, and forgiveness but also memories that can never be forgotten. Revenge is all consuming. It's all you think about when you're in it. It's the only path forward towards redemption from perceived wrongs. Eventually, those feelings fade but the hurt is still there. "This is what you get" But, you rise above it and become something larger than the hurt you bore. but it's still there. "For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself." Forever.
Lex's comment was really interesting. I always assumed that he was talking from the voice of people who judged him, sort of taking on the role of the antagonist (like Cult of Personality or something). The phrase Karma Police evokes the idea of moral judgment so frequent and regular that it becomes institutional or regular, and that he was singing about how anybody can be denounced if someone doesn't like you, because of how you talk or do your hair. He was also so chill while he was ready to throw these people in jail (also reflected in the music video). Maybe the "return to static" is the "return to baseline" that Lex talked about, after this malicious voice gets their way and gets rid of any voices/people that perturb them from their baseline of static. The creeps are arrested by the karma police, and so the voice in the lyrics are free to turn their brains back off to static again.
Speaking of karma: "Instant Karma!" by John Lennon.
Amazing insight lex 👏 just when you think no one is contemplating what someone else might feel like. 😉 good job peace ✌️
You guys have to listen to Ok Computer as a whole, one of the greatest albums of all time.
OK Computer is Radiohead's Masterpiece.
Lex grooving out to Radiohead has made my life complete! ❤️
Not a single reviewer did ''You and who's army'' I am sure you guys will adore it!
The sounds of the fingers moving frets during the 'This is what you get' parts add so much extra creep factor to this song, I love it.
Also sparks memories of high school. During morning assembly, you'd get someone on piano playing a hymn each morning while people were entering the hall. One morning, someone was playing this. I think a handful of us who listened to indie back then knew what it was, including the PE teacher, but I think everyone else was totally oblivious and it went under the radar of the more 'traditional' teachers :D
Check out 'Fake Plastic Trees' next.
These guys are on another level from most bands . You should listen to more.
I love this song and 'No Alarms.' The videos for both of them are pretty cool.
Radiohead is kind of a genre unto themselves all their records sound very different from one another but still sound like them for some reason like the Beatles or Pink Floyd.
Yeah I hate that Creep is the go to song. Almost every other Radiohead song is better. We need some stuff from Hail To The Theif, and In Rainbows
that’s how it goes every time
You guys should react to…
Radiohead - High and Dry
🎸🤘
I always loved the piano in this song because it sounds so similar to the Piano in "Sexy Sadie" by the Beatles. It's twisty.
Oof! This song packs such a punch! Shear genius.
To me, this song is about trying ur hardest to be a good person yet its the people that lie, cheat, and steal that get ahead. I pray ur Karma gets you in the end. When i am king you will be first against the wall...
No Surprises is one of my favorite Radiohead song. As is Street Spirit/Fade Out
Radiohead made Karma Police on 3 resources 1) The band joked among themselves saying "be good or the Karma Police will get you" 2) they were abused by upper bosses with nasty looks and the way they were treated and 3) Throm got fed up of symphony and pity replies he went on record saying "I wasnt depressed or anything During my collage days I was walking home and came across something so gruesome i went into shock and for a minute there "I lost myself" His point is to the bosses was "How would you like it if something terrible was in your face and your couldnt look away???" Possible car accident or a hit and run and he found the dead body
