As a profoundly deaf person, Radiohead was a first band I felt through a sensation of vibration. Whilst using an ordinary hi fi speakers, their music felt like I'm going closer to heaven.
What makes Radiohead great is that they make songs about important things: anxiety, modernity, loneliness, but they also maintain a slight sense of humor about it all. They never make fun of or belittle the terrible things that makes up being a human being on this planet, but they do make sure to comment that it's all a little bit absurd too. I mean we're these hyper-evolved apes that can practically perform magic and yet we're still anxious about what people think of us. It's sort of tragic and absurd all at the same time, and Radiohead has been in on the joke since the very beginning.
As a child of deaf parents, my folks never listened to music. Radiohead was the first band I connected with spiritually, and my folks saw my love for them in my music and my singing. My dream is to be an ASL interpreter for Radiohead at their shows, it would be an honor to represent their expression to the deaf and disabled community. 🤟🏼🤘🏼♾
It's an insane world. Nobody knows what to do, but everybody's doing something just for doing anything. I adore Radiohead because it's a pure art for every soul that want to be a human being.
My brother, who tragically passed away, introduced me to Radiohead when we were kids. So every time I hear a Radiohead song, I fondly remember my sweet brother. He lives on through their hauntingly beautiful music.
"When you forget how lucky you are." These words help me not to do bad things that will cost me everything. This song reminds me we don't know what we have until we lose it.
I like to imagine that it took Thom 20 years to listen to some of the unreleased tracks and go "huh.. this is pretty good actually. Better late than never then"
I seriously love that the reissues aren't _just_ reissues. They're practically celebrations of the albums, coming with plenty of either rare or unreleased tracks! Can't wait to see what the video's like, I'm curious.
Like what Jack White does with his White Stripes anniversary editions. Don’t think I’ve ever gotten something so high quality for only $60. Some even have 4 records and an awesome box to put them in!
I don't like so much the 2 albums, so the reissue for me is only a commercial move.... I want a new album, no reissues, no compilations, no "the best of", no alone albums....i like Radiohead as a group and i want to listen new songs.
I started listening to Radiohead in high school. I was the biggest fan of them and could not stop listening to their music for months at a time. I'm 41 now and this song plays on repeat in my house. My children are doomed to love them. Best band ever! ❤
You always see Instagram posts from farmers bringing suits into woodland areas, unaware that this kind of environment is stressful and dangerous for them. The lack of interns means they struggle to find food or water, most will starve. Glad to see these guys putting nature back in balance, god bless 🙏😊
When I was a like 14 I walked in a music store and they were giving away free the “cassette single “ of creep and I fell in love …now I’m 43 and these guys never cease to amaze me. I’m mean how did this song NOT make the cut 21 years ago ? …. These dudes on a whole nutha level .
Lyrics: If you’re in a forest, out of your mind Harpies in the branches breaking your arms If you’re stuck in rainbows, shattering glass Where you miss the moment, watching it pass If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word When you spend your life Wishing on a twinkling star When you forget how lucky you are Buried in rubble, sixty foot down If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word Then I’ll come running When you change your friends Like changing your clothes If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word If you say the word Then I’ll come running I’ll come running. You're welcome! :)
Radiohead changed my life when I first discovered them 20 years ago at age 14. I can look back now and see how my thoughts and consciousness were transformed after listening to their albums and I started seeing things differently. The feelings and ideas their music gave me inspired me to do and create things that made me who I am today.
Great comment, that happened to me at 9 I read morrisons biography then started devouring the doors, his books, poetry, the books he read as a teen that shaped him , at 9 my parents should've taken the book away from me lol I mentally made a list of all the drugs he did and made a list that I'd do exactly the same, which I did. It made me capable of not going along with the crowd or cliques, I form my own ideas, my own fashion style, that was just the start I then devoured every band that was outside the box, then saw who they listened to I went and listened too, I'm so far out from what is considered popular music bit I'm glad because no one ever has heard of the bands I listen to, I make discoveries on my own, I dont follow I lead, I book up n coming bands from all over the USA and other countries, movie star junkies from italy, finn riggins from Idaho, curious buddies I manage but on TH-cam u gotta write curious buddies band or a cartoon comes up lol, look at type the double-stops at iron horse, man they sound like joy division , it's fun walking ur own path, I booked dr. Dog, the beta band who opened for Radiohead which I saw, amazing show for the okcomputer tour and the tour after when the guitarist was running a wall sized synth with plugs. I was tripping it was life changing. The beta band round the bend and the 2st beta band album called 3 eps, I also booked hernan dune hes like a French Bob Dylan with humor and mountain goats b4 he got sober, love his early tape recordings. I've met all my idols, be careful what I wish for they say sometimes it's TRUE. I loved your comment , good stuff. Walk your own path ,always
@@MegaAltonator i too agree with what you are saying. i was 50 when i discovered them. i no longer think or have the mind frame i did before hearing their music and understanding their lyrics. i am changed.
I like your comment. It is that deep for my life too for something like 25 years now. Radiohead is like a best friend to me. It makes me a better version of myself. And more lucid.
"We are born and raised only to be productive and be taken advantage of". This portraits us humans for the role we have in society but also portraits animal lives and how they are also born and raised only to be hunted, put in an animal truck and be delivered to society! Great as always Radiohead! Great as always.
Our life mirrors that of animals and other living organisms. We live in a bubble and think because we are at the top of the food chain, we are different. Not so and our fate is falling in line with any other species that is too successful. Strange considering we are clever enough to prempt our impact on ourselves and the planet yet we all just continue in our little worlds, fulfilling our daily roles and advancing towards imbalance.
It’s important to remember first impressions of a radiohead song, because as you keep listening to them, they become part of your dna. You’ll forget, when pushing these onto friends, what it felt like on the first listen. Gorgeous guitars and vocals on this.
@@ChadHuffman I got lucky. I accidentally drifted away in 2007 & only really got re-devoted this spring. I've spent the past 5 months listening to (& watching live videos of) pretty much nothing but them (well, & finally The Smile this past month) learning it all. Glorious.
the instrumentation on this is just oh so gorgeous, and texture is so rich. The guitar sounds so melancholic, like it's crying into the void. paired with the fast rythmic bass being played so anxiously, yet in such a balanced mundane manner. This literally sounds like what modern life misery feels like...
I felt a bit this way, too. The groove has a shuffle and there's a kind of electronic-like percussion hitting two notes/beats faster than the groove's pulse (explaining it simply on purpose). This almost reflects how we slip into the shuffle as we go to work, the standard rhythm, but there's this worrisome in the 'back' of our mind (the polyrhythmic 2-beat percussion). Edit: spelling
I remember listening to Kid A for the first time and being blown away completely. I was walking on the street with my headphones and literally had to stop when the trumpets of "The National Anthem" came in. Amazing
Brilliant adaptation of human beings as free and wild creatures captured from nature that are molded into the societal structures that we participate in as corporate workers.
Why is no one in the comments talking about how gobsmackingly perfect this music video is? Superb, subtle, artful direction / cinematography/ visual storytelling. Just absolutely first class expression. We are all so blessed to have witnessed such beauty.
Have met several families here in South Yorkshire that used to live and work in London. They've moved out to the "country" to get away from the rat race, but there are times when they seem to reminisce @ their life back in the big smoke. This video seems like a "fish out of water" take on how out of place these business suits are around the countryside, but when rounded up and stuck back in London, they tend to fit right back in once they get back into the swing of things...
@@danielstahl5028 i honor your person, thanks for sharing. For me, i feel that it is mostly about how the world of business and modern commerce has totally stripped us of our humanity. And that there is a wild animal inside of us that is lost scared and confused. Longing to return to mother nature and leave this artificial anti human world behind
Radiohead for me are a well I gladly plunge headfirst down and can get lost in for hours, their music has followed me since childhood to adulthood and have been one of the rare few bands I shall never tire of hearing. I have had the misfortune of missing out on their O.K. computer tour as I was taking my exams at University at the time and then I missed out on Thom Yorke's Modern Day Boxes tour as Covid hit and I was fighting a rare type of Cancer at the time (Luckily I am in remission now). However I am fortunate to be alive during their time of producing this incredible music, so for that I am incredibly thankful. I hope for many more years of their music and fingers crossed future opportunities to see them live. All the love and respect for Thom, Jonny, Colin, Ed, and Phillip
Radiohead is in this century what Pink Floyd was on the last century, i.e., an extreme musical creativity not only on the instrumental side, but also visually and in terms of lyrics!
By the time Radiohead have hung up their guitar cases, they will probably be seen as the most important and influential band that ever existed 🤔 pink Floyd were of a time, agreed, but unfortunately for then they didn’t have the level of tech that Radiohead have enjoyed…….oh, and they didn’t have Thom or Jonny 😉
@@hughgrection5674 Not having tech doesn't mean anything. Pink Floyd were just as creative as Radiohead. In fact, the fact that they had less tech just makes what they did more impressive. Have you even listened to Dark Side of The Moon or Wish You Were Here? They are some of the most ahead of their time and creative albums ever recorded. Pink Floyd will absolutely be remember as one of the most influential and important bands to ever exist. They already are. You don't know what you're talking about.
I'm always stunned by the way Radiohead communicate their music. Artwork, cinematography & music always in harmony. A great example of a serious, true & diachronic band.
OMG I was there when they were filming this scene with the business people in a box outside Deloitte in London. Looked like some strange Deloitte commercial, if only I knew it was Radiohead.
I once went to Oxford. I really hoped I ran into Thom Yorke. I would have thanked him. Thank you Thom, Jonny, Colin, Ed and Philip. Your music moves me.
Radiohead has always been a band that has B sides that are legit album worthy. Every album has a handful or two that are all great. So happy they’re releasing this stuff!
Killer Cars from The Bends era is legitimately my favorite Radiohead song and it's a B Side. True Love Waits before it was on AMSP(I don't care for that version) was another one of my favorites
you guys somehow portrayed life through music in a much needed way that just wasn't coming from family, friends, the media. thank you forever and ever.
So humans who're treated like animals and get forced to do something that they don't want to do, but they end up doing it because everyone else is doing it and we being part of this society don't want to be the only weirdos out there. Definitely interesting, that's why I love Thom and Radiohead, because they're different and their lyrics have a lot of interpretations.
This song/video, a perfect combination, always deeply moves me. I get these "oh we human beings are so kaputt" vibes. "when you forget how lucky you are" - my favourite part.
I can't believe how this is supposed to be a "b side" of Kid A but manages to sounds this modern still today, no one would even notice if it was proposed as a new single. So ahead of its time
We May Say Kid A is A side, Amnesiac is B sides, tracks like Cuttooth, kinetic, Transatlantic brawl (b sides on Amnesiac singles) C sides then this Song is D side
great little touches to the acting in the video, like how the one is startled when the one behind them drops their suitcase, the way they all hold the briefcases differently
They would have offered Thom the world to sell out, in the nineties. He never did. In fact, he made Radiohead less accessible to the mainstream. Their sound is timeless. Bliss.
Long term success over instant gratification ... they showed maturity and wisdom even when they were young... that in itself is the antithesis or main stream
When they put you back where you were you should feel free but you don't. Because where you're free, where you're 'happy', is not actually that. It's where you're most trapped. It's an illusion of success and happiness that shatters once they take you away, and you think you want to get back to this illusory place you're thinking of in your mind, and you do get back but... Oh. How could I have been happy here? What is this place? Is this where I called home? And you realise maybe you were better off taken, in that captivity that was really no worse then where you are now.
The location where they let the people off the van is behind the office of my previous firm where I used to spend countless nights walking alone, crying and consoling myself from stress and anxiety at work. So this video really hit home🥲 and I was also surprised to see that the father of one my old friends stars in this…
The use of effects, and layered themes creates a wonderful soundscape. I like to imagine it as waking up in the night, and exploring an alien world. Brilliant band.
Fortunately we have now been streaming Radiohead into space for almost 30 years, so advanced alien beings might actually be inclined to spare the planet and visit us to in order to meet them
Radiohead es la definición de arte, que te genera tantos sentimientos. Y este video, tan bien acompañado de la canción. Ese arte que te hace sentir vivo....gracias por existir Radiohead!
I can't believe Radiohead is back. I've had personal problems lately, and the only thing that keeps me calm and out of my troubles is In Rainbows. 3 years listening to Radiohead and I still can't understand how awesome this fucking album is. I love you guys, I can't believe it's back
Brilliant. Truly dedicated to your art. I grew up listening to your music and now my children are growing up listening to you. In Rainbows is the first album my youngest listened to as a baby on our way home from the hospital. Thank you Radiohead. Aloha!
@@pollotwin something that is unspeakable and left to everyone's imagination and interpretation. Just like the big Pulp Fiction mystery question "What's in the briefcase?"
Still way out there in front, still so thought-provoking, thank you for existing as a band and thank you for sustaining your creativity and quality music. 👏🏻
"Here farmers round up business man, and return them to their natural environment. Once displaced by a microbe, and having taken shelter in doors and in the country sides.

Soon the streets of Oslo will be riff with business transactions and the steady flow of $1000 suits." Sir David Attenburog
To everyone who has only recently become a Radiohead fan: Welcome, and realize this song isn’t new. Thom Yorke (frontman, if you will) wrote this and made this in 2001, he just now released it. They’re making new music but it’s really occasional you’ll come to find.
@@veggiechip i know right like he's the radiohead reporter lol 😆 after actually seeing thom in person just listen and try and find yourself through his messages of encouragement setbacks and reality... and don't be a meatball
TY man! I really aprecciate it bc is usual but idk identify when is the song, I mean the music sounds similar and never know about the period band to which it treats
I'm so tired, sat post food on my lunch break, unable to find the will to stand to start working again and I love my job. Then I watched this and suddenly my tiredness is just poetic melancholy like I'm smiling as I did at Glastonbury 2017. Off to work I can go.
So much of Radiohead's music, post The Bends (BTW, I do love their first two albums), could be released at any time and strike like lightning. I'm not at all surprised that this track is amazing AND feels like a current track. While Radiohead's new releases are always evolving, they often lean back on tracks they've evolved over the decades. Love these glimpses into their minds... Great day.
Absorbing, of course, as always. At the end it seemed to me to tie in with the location of that video they did for 'Just' back in the 90s. What musicians, what a band
an incredible video clip filmed in a realistic way telling something so ironic and surreal. I love it, one of my favorite Radiohead videoclips since it was released
As a profoundly deaf person, Radiohead was a first band I felt through a sensation of vibration. Whilst using an ordinary hi fi speakers, their music felt like I'm going closer to heaven.
That’s so awesome! I feared their music would be missed by the hard of hearing, but you proved that wrong.
🤘 🎶 🪘
Curious what other music gives you similar enjoyment?
I'd love to hear more of a unique perspective of what music is enjoyable
That's amazing
What does Sigur Ros ‘sound’ like to you, especially the orchestral specials they did?
What makes Radiohead great is that they make songs about important things: anxiety, modernity, loneliness, but they also maintain a slight sense of humor about it all. They never make fun of or belittle the terrible things that makes up being a human being on this planet, but they do make sure to comment that it's all a little bit absurd too. I mean we're these hyper-evolved apes that can practically perform magic and yet we're still anxious about what people think of us. It's sort of tragic and absurd all at the same time, and Radiohead has been in on the joke since the very beginning.
No matter how far I go, I can always come back to Radiohead's music, and feel like I'm home.
June, I love you
Hundred percent
Beautifully, wonderfully put! That's it exactly. Radiohead always makes me feel safe, somehow.
I feel the same about their music
They are were we wanted to be when we did not know what we wanted
As a child of deaf parents, my folks never listened to music. Radiohead was the first band I connected with spiritually, and my folks saw my love for them in my music and my singing. My dream is to be an ASL interpreter for Radiohead at their shows, it would be an honor to represent their expression to the deaf and disabled community. 🤟🏼🤘🏼♾
oh, i wish they could've taste this charm ;(
just tell them to buy new ears dummy
I hope they get to experience the feeling music gives off one day. Keep trying!
great thing!
That's really a beautiful and wholesome desire, thank you for sharing it.
they created songs that are not easy for everyone to accept, but when we get into them, we will be trapped forever.
Damn, bang bryan punya selera music yg sgt bagus
Best Radiohead definition ever
Ciri khas radiohead: pas denger musiknya serasa masuk dunia lain, luar angkasa bahkan ghoib (setelah album the bends)

Yeah but isn’t this an old track from the 2000s?
@@s-dew I’m pretty sure he already knew that bro
Brilliant adaptation of human beings as free and wild creatures captured from nature that are molded into the societal structures that we participate in as corporate workers.
i think it's a jab toward forcing people to get back to the office after vaccination.
@@tuuthreee interesting
These legends are still going strong after 9 albums and 3 decades.
You like raditude?
@@s-dew I haven’t stopped partying to it since I was on the album cover in ‘09!
get out of the mall

There's lore behind so many of Radiohead's music videos, I'm obsessed
So relevant when everyone is going back into offices to work and questioning their life choices . Thanks for the Thursday suprise Radiohead.
*gets forced back into offices
There is always something new in Radiohead's videos. Don't really know what "it" is, but it's always heartbreaking..
Incredible as always.
Un saludo a Pepis
pepis! aguante argentina!
Pepis fan de Radiohead? Que basado

Hola pepis
Why is no one in the comments talking about how gobsmackingly perfect this music video is? Superb, subtle, artful direction / cinematography/ visual storytelling. Just absolutely first class expression. We are all so blessed to have witnessed such beauty.
video? what video? we just be here for the likeminded comments
Have met several families here in South Yorkshire that used to live and work in London. They've moved out to the "country" to get away from the rat race, but there are times when they seem to reminisce @ their life back in the big smoke. This video seems like a "fish out of water" take on how out of place these business suits are around the countryside, but when rounded up and stuck back in London, they tend to fit right back in once they get back into the swing of things...
@@danielstahl5028 i honor your person, thanks for sharing. For me, i feel that it is mostly about how the world of business and modern commerce has totally stripped us of our humanity. And that there is a wild animal inside of us that is lost scared and confused. Longing to return to mother nature and leave this artificial anti human world behind
Radiohead for me are a well I gladly plunge headfirst down and can get lost in for hours, their music has followed me since childhood to adulthood and have been one of the rare few bands I shall never tire of hearing. I have had the misfortune of missing out on their O.K. computer tour as I was taking my exams at University at the time and then I missed out on Thom Yorke's Modern Day Boxes tour as Covid hit and I was fighting a rare type of Cancer at the time (Luckily I am in remission now). However I am fortunate to be alive during their time of producing this incredible music, so for that I am incredibly thankful. I hope for many more years of their music and fingers crossed future opportunities to see them live. All the love and respect for Thom, Jonny, Colin, Ed, and Phillip
Powerful narrative and beautiful cinematography. Good thing we still have Radiohead as a contrast to all the mainstream “feel good” one hit bands.
This feels straight outta our world but otherworldly as well, it’s beautiful.
Radiohead is in this century what Pink Floyd was on the last century, i.e., an extreme musical creativity not only on the instrumental side, but also visually and in terms of lyrics!
mr wilson, not even close. One day someday someone not as lazy as me will write a book about the meaning of RadioHead imagery and you'll see.
@@cmathews5909 huh
Not even close
By the time Radiohead have hung up their guitar cases, they will probably be seen as the most important and influential band that ever existed 🤔 pink Floyd were of a time, agreed, but unfortunately for then they didn’t have the level of tech that Radiohead have enjoyed…….oh, and they didn’t have Thom or Jonny 😉
@@hughgrection5674 Not having tech doesn't mean anything. Pink Floyd were just as creative as Radiohead. In fact, the fact that they had less tech just makes what they did more impressive. Have you even listened to Dark Side of The Moon or Wish You Were Here? They are some of the most ahead of their time and creative albums ever recorded. Pink Floyd will absolutely be remember as one of the most influential and important bands to ever exist. They already are. You don't know what you're talking about.
I'm always stunned by the way Radiohead communicate their music. Artwork, cinematography & music always in harmony. A great example of a serious, true & diachronic band.
OMG I was there when they were filming this scene with the business people in a box outside Deloitte in London. Looked like some strange Deloitte commercial, if only I knew it was Radiohead.
When was it filmed out of interest?
@@nirodha60 a couple of months back I saw it, maybe longer, outside of Deloitte in London.
I once went to Oxford. I really hoped I ran into Thom Yorke. I would have thanked him.
Thank you Thom, Jonny, Colin, Ed and Philip. Your music moves me.
Really beautiful song.
Babe wake up new radiohead just dropped
Radiohead is just so.....I love how deep the music is. They illustrate such complicated emotions, wonderfully.
Amazing.
Radiohead: a group of musicians gifted in the capability of making clear translations of all of our unspoken languages.
Hah... that really is quite fucking brilliant.
Radiohead really have the best music videos. Like who thought of this concept???? It's amazing. I think about it all the time.
Radiohead has always been a band that has B sides that are legit album worthy. Every album has a handful or two that are all great. So happy they’re releasing this stuff!
Killer Cars from The Bends era is legitimately my favorite Radiohead song and it's a B Side. True Love Waits before it was on AMSP(I don't care for that version) was another one of my favorites
I can’t understand the meaning of lyrics correctly cause I am Japanese, but I can understand their creations are always beautiful.
Music transcends spoken languages.😏🤩😍😎
well said
Not even english speakers understand them, but the songs are beautiful
Well, your English is good enough to say this!
Excellent good for you Radiohead kills baby!!
Kid: "Mommy where do business people come from?"
Mum: "Well, son. I guess we got to have the talk.
made me chuckle, thanks :D
The kids in the hall skit lol
mmm, mcdonalds
From Baby Corp.
I have been obsessed with this song since it came out. Radiohead is prolly the only music artist that can deliver like this.
you guys somehow portrayed life through music in a much needed way that just wasn't coming from family, friends, the media. thank you forever and ever.
Bloody well said sir 👏
The mixing on this record is important. Amazing levels
So humans who're treated like animals and get forced to do something that they don't want to do, but they end up doing it because everyone else is doing it and we being part of this society don't want to be the only weirdos out there. Definitely interesting, that's why I love Thom and Radiohead, because they're different and their lyrics have a lot of interpretations.
The definition of social media and politics.. swarming most cultures til there is no culture, God forbid.
There there’s work to do.
This song/video, a perfect combination, always deeply moves me. I get these "oh we human beings are so kaputt" vibes.
"when you forget how lucky you are" - my favourite part.
Radiohead not only changed my life, they improved it.
I can't believe how this is supposed to be a "b side" of Kid A but manages to sounds this modern still today, no one would even notice if it was proposed as a new single. So ahead of its time
Honestly just heard it for the first time and thought it was a new single, incredible band.
Yeah this honestly doesn't even sound like anything from kid a.
We May Say Kid A is A side, Amnesiac is B sides, tracks like Cuttooth, kinetic, Transatlantic brawl (b sides on Amnesiac singles) C sides then this Song is D side
great little touches to the acting in the video, like how the one is startled when the one behind them drops their suitcase, the way they all hold the briefcases differently
right you are... I noticed the fine details too and there was some top acting and directing gwan there
They would have offered Thom the world to sell out, in the nineties. He never did. In fact, he made Radiohead less accessible to the mainstream. Their sound is timeless. Bliss.
I remember in the 90's seeing magazines on the front calling Radiohead the next U2, i love the fact they never went that way and did it their own way.
Long term success over instant gratification ... they showed maturity and wisdom even when they were young... that in itself is the antithesis or main stream
@@paulriggall805 They were almost 30 when OK Computer came out
I love how everyone expected another blockbuster album after OK Computer and they went and released Kid A 😂. The balls on this band.
LOOOOOVE KID A. Great album.
one of the most beautiful songs ever written
When they put you back where you were you should feel free but you don't. Because where you're free, where you're 'happy', is not actually that. It's where you're most trapped. It's an illusion of success and happiness that shatters once they take you away, and you think you want to get back to this illusory place you're thinking of in your mind, and you do get back but... Oh. How could I have been happy here? What is this place? Is this where I called home? And you realise maybe you were better off taken, in that captivity that was really no worse then where you are now.
That’s a great interpretation. Thank you.
@@valvofolife Thanks!
Great interpretation, thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!
Awesome video! Whenever Radiohead is active, it is ALWAYS a cause for celebration!
The location where they let the people off the van is behind the office of my previous firm where I used to spend countless nights walking alone, crying and consoling myself from stress and anxiety at work. So this video really hit home🥲 and I was also surprised to see that the father of one my old friends stars in this…
@amesa, hey. Do you know if this is the same place they filmed the "Just" video? Looks similar.
The use of effects, and layered themes creates a wonderful soundscape. I like to imagine it as waking up in the night, and exploring an alien world. Brilliant band.
Radiohead is the best creation of the human race
Totally!!
NOT hyperbole!
Fortunately we have now been streaming Radiohead into space for almost 30 years, so advanced alien beings might actually be inclined to spare the planet and visit us to in order to meet them
There's nothing as wholly unique and beautiful as Radiohead.
This is like a black a mirror episode, love it
Exactly what it reminded me of
Amazing
This is why the guy from the Just video laid down on the sidewalk
Radiohead es la definición de arte, que te genera tantos sentimientos. Y este video, tan bien acompañado de la canción.
Ese arte que te hace sentir vivo....gracias por existir Radiohead!
Sin duda alguna una de las mejores bandas del siglo XXl.
These graphics look so realistic
Hi Brad, you make great videos btw
yea ur vids are great cant wait for u to do amnesiac
Brad the bread food chain is in danger
Not even any RTX, these companies are getting too lazy
mastapeace
I can't believe Radiohead is back. I've had personal problems lately, and the only thing that keeps me calm and out of my troubles is In Rainbows. 3 years listening to Radiohead and I still can't understand how awesome this fucking album is.
I love you guys, I can't believe it's back
same situation, maybe ill start listening to In Rainbows. Much love, your problems will pass.
3? Rookie numbers mate. I'm 29 years deep over here
@@robinsonner5461 in rainbows is absolutely my joint 1st favorite lol, definitely worth listening to, i hope you enjoy it
in rainbows hits different
They’re not back. He’s releasing tracks he made a long time ago.
They have distinct sound!!!❤
Brilliant. Truly dedicated to your art. I grew up listening to your music and now my children are growing up listening to you. In Rainbows is the first album my youngest listened to as a baby on our way home from the hospital. Thank you Radiohead. Aloha!
this could actually be a prequel to the "Just" music video
This video gave me "Just" vibes for sure
@@pollotwin something that is unspeakable and left to everyone's imagination and interpretation. Just like the big Pulp Fiction mystery question "What's in the briefcase?"
Still way out there in front, still so thought-provoking, thank you for existing as a band and thank you for sustaining your creativity and quality music. 👏🏻
Of all their shelved tracks this is probably the best one.
"Here farmers round up business man, and return them to their natural environment. Once displaced by a microbe, and having taken shelter in doors and in the country sides. After a few shakey steps, being unaccustomed to pavement after a year and a half in the basement, he regains his footing. Soon the streets of Oslo will be riff with business transactions and the steady flow of $1000 suits." Sir David Attenburog
Perfect
‘Rife’ or ‘riff’? Works both ways lol
Can't find a way to describe this video better.
You're spot on. The Homo sapiens is by far the funniest creature to observe in its (un)natural habitat.
Yes, this is what I live for. There is still hope if there is still Radiohead.
I'm so happy that Radiohead exists. It's one of the best things I've experienced in my life. They are the masters of syncopation.
Try Jesus, there is none like Him.
@@rubengutierrez1141 why you have to bring religion to everything?
I love the way it breathes too
Nailed it. Their syncopation skills are as good or better than jazz legends
yep I feel the same. We are privileged to have them
A gem
To everyone who has only recently become a Radiohead fan: Welcome, and realize this song isn’t new. Thom Yorke (frontman, if you will) wrote this and made this in 2001, he just now released it. They’re making new music but it’s really occasional you’ll come to find.
Meatball
@@veggiechip ye
After 2 decades wow
@@veggiechip i know right like he's the radiohead reporter lol 😆 after actually seeing thom in person just listen and try and find yourself through his messages of encouragement setbacks and reality... and don't be a meatball
TY man! I really aprecciate it bc is usual but idk identify when is the song, I mean the music sounds similar and never know about the period band to which it treats
I'm so tired, sat post food on my lunch break, unable to find the will to stand to start working again and I love my job.
Then I watched this and suddenly my tiredness is just poetic melancholy like I'm smiling as I did at Glastonbury 2017.
Off to work I can go.
Thanks again Radiohead .. I don't feel so alone.
So many lovely and thoughtful comments on this video and yours, m8, hit me the deepest. Be well
NO SABEN COMO AMO A RADIOHEAD, ME HACEN LLORAR Y AL MISMO TIEMPO ME DAN UNA TRANQUILIDAD Y MELANCOLIA, WEY, GRACIAS X EXISTIR
..ağlamayı ve de mutluluğu çağrıştıran sözler ve sesleri çok kullanıyorlar gerçektende; bu yönüyle efsane bir grup..
I've spent most of my 65 years listening and seeing every great band there was and Radiohead stands a top of them all.
65 y/o too, DITTO
👊
BUMP!
Still the same old Radiohead feel that I had 20 years ago when I listened to Radiohead. I love Radiohead forever.
So much of Radiohead's music, post The Bends (BTW, I do love their first two albums), could be released at any time and strike like lightning. I'm not at all surprised that this track is amazing AND feels like a current track. While Radiohead's new releases are always evolving, they often lean back on tracks they've evolved over the decades. Love these glimpses into their minds... Great day.
listening again,, gret song
Always down for a new music video
Absorbing, of course, as always. At the end it seemed to me to tie in with the location of that video they did for 'Just' back in the 90s. What musicians, what a band
I always felt like Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster should have had a Radiohead song on the Soundtrack.
Prayers answered with this video.
The Lobster soundtrack was awful
The music video instantly reminded me of “The Lobster”!
@@magiccat4316 The Lobster film was awful.
funny thing is, Yorgos did direct a vignette for AMSP.
@@PlanetXerox I knowww, I wish it was longer though honestly.
chills right away
an incredible video clip filmed in a realistic way telling something so ironic and surreal. I love it, one of my favorite Radiohead videoclips since it was released
