Theres a reason why many of us who have suffered from depression/anxiety find a haven in Radiohead - beautiful sadness...
But they didnt just do sad songs - Id recommend Reckoner (live Basement version) for some contrast
Personally have not experienced any form of depression, but I am still strongly attracted to Radiohead. For me its the musical brilliance and the creativity which Radiohead brings to the table which was extremely ahead for their time.
For myself when times were hard their music with all its quirks and complexity would act as a comfort in a way most music didn’t
Couldn't have put that any better sir!
A lot of Autistic people really relate to Radiohead too. A lot of their music is what it feels like and what we think about the world. Subterranean Homesick Alien is what really got me hooked. I never heard any lyricist express exactly what the world feels like to me in music form.
I appreciate you really taking in both what you were hearing and seeing.
Your interpretation made it clear how carefully you were paying this the attention it deserves.
Great job! 👏
Amazing reaction. Just want to say this video nails depression for me. Staring straight ahead, drowning but saying nothing. And when you get that gasp of air it's amazing! Often short-lived, but amazing.
Anytime i hear this song, reminds me of song by Joy Division " A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia ".
Its a horrifying song about The moment when the pain is too much to bear and you just want to, End it all.
as someone with depression this one hits heavy. I feel like Radiohead did the perfect trilogy of Death with No Surprises (Dying) , Pyramid Song (The Journey of the Soul) and Videotape (Whats left for the living).
this was one of the best reactions that I've ever seen of this song (probably the best) congratulations!!! You should react to more Radiohead, pretty sure you gonna like it
Love Radiohead and your reaction was on point. Really enjoyed it and you got my sub. Hope you react to more music from this amazing band ❤️
She needs to get in touch with the basement sessions especially the In Rainbows one there's nothing like seeing these guys pull off all these intricate songs live and they sound even better than the studio. If that doesn't make you a fan then Radiohead may not be for you.
Street spirit, fade away. Is my radio head song. When I'm down I blast it out and just sit and listen.
I come from this generation. It makes me happy to see so many young people who are so open. Respect.
I worked on the special effects company on this video Pennicott and Payne we had all tried to see if it was possible to hold our breath for the allotted time non of us could so that is why it was filmed at twice normal speed even then it was hard he was getting very anxious before the final take but nailed it ,it was up to us to get that water out as quick as possible the helmet had to go redesigned so the water could come out almost at once even so it instilling panic .
The video is even more disturbing when you think about the pain Thom Yorke went through to film it
Incredible song off an amazing album. One of my favorite albums of the last 30 years hands-down.
Next "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead, please beatifull sadness
The Bends and OK Computer, the latter being one of the greatest albums ever made, are great albums. Radiohead was decades ahead of their time with OK Computer. Please check the albums out fully, along with the videos of the songs.
fake plastic trees pls
And nude
Every time I watch this video I hold my breath when Thom's head goes underwater. Not consciously, just as a spontaneous, natural reaction.
I think it's exact that happened to me. I mean emotionally. I really like a Radiohead and listened them a lot for some time. but I have had trouble with didn't have any relief from this depression condition and melancholy. I used to resonate with Tom York for some while but later I felt that I'm stuck. And when I start to listen Japanese music Ado for example. it was really such relief for me! just incredible how different musicians can really help you in some period of life.
You should see the making of the music video. It's took so many takes. No wonder Thom smiled after doing the underwater section. He immediately had to go back to miming or else that take would be ruined.
In my perspective, the water scene symbolizes getting filled up with bad things and when you hit your lowest you just can't take it anymore and just break out and get out of the bad things. Unfortunately, the breaking out part for some people is sui€ide. I repeat, this is in my perspective
I think of it as a lullaby about the desire to alter the course of one’s life. The water dropping away suggests he moves away from the darker option.
My interpretation of the video is that like the song, in the beginning he has given up and is ready to end it all. Then near the end of the video and the song he changes his mind and decides to live and that the world has some good in it. In the video there seems to be some panic as he realizes he doesn't want to drown.
I just f***ing love Radiohead. Have you heard ‘In Rainbows’ yet?
Top tier example of the emotional impact you can achieve with an extremely simple and inexpensive video.
my day, every day
For me this song is a slow descent into madness, but there is another element. There is clarity, but also carbon monoxide on stand-by. Thom is a master songwriter. The protagonist is the human race. It's a common theme for him. Kid A continued (and accelerated) it. I love this guy and this band
Written from a place of knowledge. Thom is ahead of his time, and what was written than has transpired.
I've always thought of this song as a highly detailed description, lyrically anyway, of what a panic attack feels like
the making of was INSANE! you should watch it
One of the essential Gen X 90s songs. Not even despair, but nihilism and cynicism. She made one of the better critiques of this period's music, however despair would require that you care. When this song came out those of us who were young at the time thought "Yep, that's reality"
Then when the water comes back down, Thom gets another breath and starts singing again with a smile without missing a beat. We were all thinking "Yes, that's us, survivors. I know exactly what that feels like."
Really interesting to hear a young person today's reaction compared to what people my age thought when it came out and I was her age.
This Song kind of saved me...
Reality... is the word you didn't want to say.
Off one of the best albums ever. Definitely worth your time.
No and No again! This is everything we as people fight against every day. This is a conversation about how good we are at resisting this feeling! Of how he fights it!!
I think it's the human condition. No matter your station in life, be it, social, economical, geographical or any other metric, life is still overwhelming in one way or another. We all deal with work, family, friends, relationships (romantic or no), life, death and at times we feel like we're drowning in it all. I think Thom leaves out the "happily ever after..." or "relief" because not all of us get either of those things. It's a very simple, yet stark reminder of life and the daily occurrences of struggle. Wash, rinse, repeat until you don't.
This song helps me when I can't stand up to people's expectations.
If you haven't aready maybe consider reacting to "True love waits" live in Oslo, by Radiohead aswell. Such a beautiful piece.
To me Radiohead is the Beatles of a modern age and cynical as hell but very emotional and real. Every record sounds different but still great I can't recommend any band more than Radiohead.
Thank you! You've just got a new subscriber :)
so sentimental, everything is in Your eyes
Tom hates water didnt want this video, love this guy
you really need to listen to Street Spirit (Fade Out), you really need to listen to it. And I need to see your reaction, please
OK Computer is a perfect album to listen to from start to finish, uninterrupted. You're doing yourself a disservice listening to it any other way.
This will be my song in my last moments
The best tattoo i got. The best band in the world.
Lots of Open ended Questions?? Yes!! Sometimes its Just about the Feels.
What did my son get for Christmas. A Radiohead Tshirt 🤟🏻 Live on your own terms.
Everyone in the uk knows this because this because of how often it was just in advertising in the early/mid 2000s, haha (and because radiohead is an institution)
Cool reactions. Subscribed 🤟🏻🍺
The next song on _OK Computer_ is "Lucky", and it might be my favorite of theirs. You get some power and release there, though he makes the end interesting.
So deep.
they have a docu-concert thing called "Meeting people is Easy" if you want a good idea of his mental state. The dudes a genius but a basket case.
i live smirks of depression. there is never one. ya ya yaaa yyaaa
So beautiful
Ok computer its great album from Radiohead
It makes me happy. It’s weird and I can hardly explain it. Maybe, not being alone in lonesomeness
Tom yorke e obra prima musical isso sim linda psicodelia estou curtindo muito a nova banda the smile onde tem músicos do radiohead são sucesso
Can you made a video similar to this but not this song, rather "Nude" ......
Radiohead - Nude
we would appreciate it, please.
I love you 🖤
Aye pet they were so good that they had a serious following of admirers 4 all their efforts ? Mesell tho I just love how they connect with the mere earthlings that they alone gave hope and charity 2 the masses ,they were that good
i would recommend "exiot nusic" also from ok computer and of course paranoid android
when it comes to Radiohead, you should just take a weekend to review a whole album. Hail to the Thief and Ok Computer are great albums. every song on those albums are great.
Do Radiohead's "NUDE (live from the basement)" :-D
The love of Lord takes our depression
Trust Him
Superb..
Great reaction, lady :) Thom is interesting, isn't he?
The tourist radiohead
Plenon ❤❤
Maybe it was written to people in despair.
Most comments on here are wrong. It's about people who just go through life choosing the easy option, not trying anything different or scary. I'm Gen X, I know what I'm talking about
Next, reaction "fake plastic trees" by Radiohead please
you should listen to let down next
Apakah masih ada yang belum tau lagu terkenal ini?
You watches him drown
Can you react to Chris Stars - Polvo Estelar?
Say you've never had to struggle in your ever day life without saying it = this review. Some of us are always just drowning and suffocating by existing. But K thanks, hope you enjoyed being an emotional tourist in our daily plight. Hope you get a new yacht or beach house or whatever while the rest of us struggle to pay the rent.
The most beautiful way to deal with depression is Radiohead
NO! as much as I love Radiohead. The most beautiful way to deal with depression is by making someone else's suffering bearable!
By giving to others you can give to yourself.
Thats what Radiohead did!
You should too
@@JafmanzOk I understand your point but well music is that for me it is in low moments when I felt that nothing made sense when at night I couldn't even sleep from thinking so much it helped me
@@Jafmanz I say it for me, it is the least painful way to deal with the problems that I usually have and not only with Radiohead but with music in general it makes the mind distract.
OK I get you. Do what you need to do! share Radiohead with others too. ❤@@ozzydichter8670
Hikes in the woods and Radiohead, trees are my friends ^
I was an 18-year-old in a mental health crisis when this album came out and nothing could have captured my depression, my extreme angst, my cynicism, my disillusionment more perfectly.
Though it does send me back to those times, I find a strange comfort in reliving the memories and feelings it brings. The whole album is a masterpiece and I still rank it amongst the top ten best albums of all time.
I think there are a lot of music Critics might agree with you on that. Before I experienced them, I remember Michael Stipe from REM saying that he thought that radiohead was so good, It Frightened him
The playback was at double-speed so he could hold his breath for half as long, but I saw behind-the scenes footage were he couldn’t hold his breath any longer. He was so angry because he knew he had to re-shoot the whole video again. That’s why he smiles at the end because he knew he’d nailed it.
Meeting people is easy.
Watching the documentary it looked like it must have been hell to do that video.
@@jonny26281I think Thom also stated he has a fear of drowning due to an accident when he was young.
I‘ve heard that he was aquaphobic and this was also a way of fighting his fear of water.
But i don‘t know if that‘s really true. If yes, this is Badass ! 😎
Total lies. The footage was not sped up. The documentary speeds the footage up to show how many takes it took. The video is in real time, nothing was faked in any way.
Well, if "No Surprises" hits you like this. I really cannot wait for you to react to the one of the most hauntigly uncomfortable beauty of "How to Disappear Completely"
Or videotape, also an insanely sad song
Exit Music for a film....
What this guy said.
I strongly recommend the whole album, it's perfect, quite relatable (from my perspective) & relavant to society, basically. Edit: It's funny how nobody ever seem to talk about what this song is actually about: What we're told to strife for and the life we're shown as an I deal will ultimately solve nothing because it's completely superficial. The narrator has achieved everything he was supposed to, and has only destroyed himself in the process and found no peace at all. "The American Dream", if you want to call it that, is a lie. Like the entire album, it's an attack on modern soulless neoliberal capitalism; it's not just a sad song about suicide. I recommend you look into the meaning behind the lyrics on genius.
And has aged very well in my opinion. It's from 1997 when internet was just becoming widespread and no one imagined what a social network was. Yet its take on the alienation of modern life completely stands today.
OK Computer is one of those rare albums where every song is remarkable and makes sense with every other song on that album. I certainly consider it one of my all-time favorites.
OK Computer is my all time #1
It's one of the greatest albums ever made.
@@mumbledg 100% agree.
I love that little smirk after the water drains it's not always as dark as people think there is a lot of humor and sarcasm in there as well.
Did you see Meeting People Is Easy, the documentary about Radiohead during OK Computer era? I think the smurk is due to the multiple takes it took to shoot that video… and finally getting it!
Yes I have although not for years I was being more general i am so sick of people saying how depressing Radiohead is ect. and that's not true much of the sadness is very much tongue in cheek.@@Injektilo44
I interpret that as he is proud of himself for making it through.
Oh yes. This was really hard for Thom to pull off. Nonetheless the smirk as a genuine reaction to "not drowning" is a nice detail :)
Music isn’t depressive when irs sad, it’s depressing when it’s bad
Yeah, you're right. No anger, no build, just quiet resignation. A handshake of carbon monoxide....he's done with this life...just one more bellyache, and then the pain is over forever.
So dark man
@chinolobo8621 it's a dark one, for sure....made more crazy by how beautiful the music is.
This video perfectly captures the simultaneous claustrophobia and catharsis of the album. Thom is a master of embracing uncomfortable emotions and turning pain into beautiful art
I’ve been a massive Radiohead fan since I was 15, which was the year that their song Creep debuted. The Bends got me through high school, OK Computer came out the year I turned 19 and moved away from my hometown, Amnesiac, Kid A, and Hail to the Thief all helped me through my first divorce, In Rainbows literally helped to keep me sober after leaving rehab in 2008, and Moon Shaped Pool was the album I cried to nightly when my 2nd marriage failed in 2014. Today, I’m 46 and I just got a new apartment 2 weeks ago after 8 months of brutal homelessness…and I’m still finding comfort and solace with the band whose entire catalog has been like a soundtrack to every era of my life. I guess my biggest takeaway is that whether you’re an awkward, left-of-center 15 year old or 46 year old recovering addict restarting life when everyone else my age is vacationing around the world…validation through music and art has always been something I truly appreciate and regard highly. Real connection is difficult for many of us introverts and has only gotten more difficult for myself as I’ve aged…and it’s nice to have this band as a touchstone or means of grounding my soul. Of course, there are other acts I appreciate just as much, but this video isn’t about them, so…lol. And it is so incredibly cool to me how younger people are coming around to discover this amazing band. If you’ve not viewed it already, one of the most popular Radiohead fan faves is the ‘In Rainbows - Live From the Basement’ video here on TH-cam. Their live performance of the album is nearly indistinguishable from the recorded tracks, which is incredible considering the complexity of their instrumentation. I watch it in full at least once a week if not more, and have for years. Check it out!
Read your comment, thats deep. Good to read,thanks
Well said and good luck with your life I have had some struggles myself and Radiohead helped me grieve when my wife died suddenly at 48 and I was in a profound state of shock. I went off the deep end for a time and In Rainbows really was like therapy.
There’s a fantastic Radiohead documentary called Meeting People is Easy that covers the period just after OK Computer. Shows the band dealing with the new success and attention on them and how miserable Thom was during all of that. Also some bits of them working on new music, some of which didn’t see the light of day until YEARS later. There’s a scene that shows them filming this music video and Thom was having a really hard time holding his breath for the underwater shot. He had a lever below his neck to pull and release the water if he needed air and each time he pulled it he got angrier with himself. The take that ended up in the video where he finally pulled it off was the last one.
thanks for sharing, I'll shoot to search for it and watch it!!
One of my all-time favorite bands. whenever i feel down i listen to radiohead - it makes me more depressed but somehow i feel better afterwards.
catharsis... You have to pay the price to get the (sometimes small) reward afterwards... That said I had to take a whole 5 years off from listening to emotional music. Now I can again...
@@ollylappage2595 hope that means you're on the other side of the dark and not back in it.
Radiohead just sidestepped grunge in the 90s and NuMetal in the 00's. Phenomenal musicians.
From my experiences with Anxiety and depression, The Bends and OK Computer are a panacea for the soul. Somehow it all, always leaves me feeling that it will all be okay.
There's a reason why this album is considered by many, many...many artists and critics to be one of the best of all time. Its really that good and yes, it's melancholic with "electioneering" being the only "happy" song. It's not an album for the unprepared or an album you'll enjoy at first listening. Well, that's Radiohead I guess 🙂
I appreciate your genuine, intelligent, and empathetic reactions. :)
I saw Radiohead live during the 'In Rainbows' tour, and at one point Thom Yorke did crack up over something that happened on stage. It can be a melancholy ride with this group, but there are still moments of levity that pull you through. That's what makes the band truly special and appealing to so many of us.
Heard this song for the 1st time in House MD Season 6 intro, when House was in rehab. Oh man, what a scene, what a perfect song
Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) must see
yep specially the performance at japanese tv from 90’ I think its the best by far.
Radiohead - nude
I wondered if anyone might react to this! Up it pops, in my opinion this is more emotional than Creep but Creep stole all of the thunder! It’s just a beautiful song that really hits home, great analysis and reaction!
I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR YOU TO REACT TO RADIOHEAD LETS FOOCKING GO, do more albuns especially In Rainbows or OK Computer.
Beautiful song by Radiohead, it brings back many memories of my adolescence, it's very sad, merry Christmas!❤
“Bring down the government, they don’t, they don’t speak for us.” One of the best lyrics ever written- honestly
🙄 yeah whatever man
@@Fantomex. ok edgelord. Try and enjoy your day. Tough ask I know
This song, and most of the album, got me out of my carbon monoxide possibilities.
You should also listen to How To Disappear Completely by Radiohead.
Listen too radiohead LET DOWN absolutely beautiful ❤
Musical blue balls for a lack of a better description. It was necessary to make you feel his song, it's a hard one to listen to if you're not in a bad mood lol.
yes, more radioead please, maybe "nude" from the "in the basement" presentation? pretty please? 🥺
