  • 마더뻐커

  • This cover is a fusion of two significant points in my existence, colliding to create a massive bliss bomb! Damien you are a muse and narrator of life, a poet signifying lust and longing in all its splendour. Thanks for gracing my ears with such wondrous beauty, you always make my heart content x

  • Best.Cover.Ever.

  • <3 

  • Amazing song.. And an amazing cover

    Oh cool I am the 1,000th comment :D

  • Special, indeed ......... every song he touches.

  • I am bloody special...indeed!

  • YES my favorite song by radiohead covered by my favorite artist!

  • This song changed my life.

  • Haven't heard such a good song in a long while...beautiful voice

  • I don't belong here :'(

  • sausage......... how random am i!!

  • Some people say I'm a faggot for liking Damien Rice, oh well.

  • @02Shrike oh well, so I'm a faggot, too.. =D

  • i wish i could sing like this...

  • its like someone stabbed, and then took my heart and gave it back.

  • question is, why a 1/2 step down?

  • @KHRaccoon - Better fit for his vocal range.

    

  • vile.

  • I like Damien's voice and I like this song so much and the combination's just a blast!!!

  • I wouldn't say it's better than the original but I daresay it's equal to it.

  • Proud to be a Paddy Irishman caz of our talented few!!!

  • @chinoatz proud that hes from my town and went to my school! :D haha

  • @Eoinmoo4 Oh wahhhh :( go back to your porn you just ruined my day... :D :D i kid i kid just incase you havent got an Irish sense o humour :D MOO?? :D

  • @TheChinoatz hahaha moo is right <3 haha

  • @Eoinmoo4 dude! that's awesome.

  • Such a good artist. I have made a song too. Listen to it on my channelx

  • I love the way he sings "wierdo". So Irishy.

  • @MsExLibirs Probably because he's Irish.

  • I love this. I love the original. I am so very happy both exist!

  • kick ass tune better that the original

  • wow had no idea anyone had covered this, beatiful.. and indeed it matches Thom Yorke's voice in some parts..

  • Comment removed

  • I almost like this version better than the orig

  • nice, but it's missing the power of the electric guitar.

  • I'd love for him to cover Street Spirit. That's the way the world should end.

  • *balling like a little girl* but seriously, not to take anything away from this via cheep humor.

  • this is fucking amazing!!

  • I'm quite surprised that Damien Rice would do a cover.....but a Radiohead song is the only cover I can imagine him doing. His voice cuts into me the same way that Thom Yorks does.......

  • @MyMarsters He also did Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen...was a bit disappointing though so I wouldn't recommend checking that one out :P

  • Does anybody know in which album is this in?

  • @KyriacosKestas Its on Pablo Honey by Radiohead

  • I love this song, first time I've heard it by Damien, who is one of my favourites. It's beautiful. I want you to notice when I'm not around......that bit always makes me cry

  • Damien Rice has the most EMOTIONAL voice I've ever heard.

  • @br0wnbearr shut up.

  • O R G A S M I C

    thanks..

  • i paused porn for this

  • @Eoinmoo4 hahahahahaah awesome xD

  • @Eoinmoo4

    I use this as porn

  • @Eoinmoo4 Hahahahahaaaaaaaa.............­.great!!!LOOOOL

  • @Eoinmoo4 I replaced porn for this...

  • @Eoinmoo4 I paused life for this.

  • beautiful

  • It really pisses me off with all these people using terms like "eargasm" and such about a song as beautiful as this. This isn't the type of the music to use those terms about. Call it what it is; inspiring, amazing, poetic, beautiful. Get your minds out of the gutter for just 4 minutes and 3 seconds.

  • @br0wnbearr Potato...potato.... tomato....tomato.They are saying they like it why would that bother you if you like the song to? 

  • @br0wnbearr Did you bother to think about the lyrics, and your saying get your mind out of the gutter?

  • are you sure this isnt thom ?

  • eargasm...

  • did anberlin cover this?

  • Radiohead vs. Damien Rice vs. Scala Choir

  • still like the scala girls' version more....

  • Damien Rice voice just gives me chills.

  • Great version, but too similar to the original to be the best version.

    I'd rate Radiohead's (duh) and the Scala choir's version better.

    But not by much, as this is still great.

  • This is like the flipside of The Blower's Daughter.

  • BEST COVER EVER OF THIS SONG:

    /watch?v=sVYm4JmS5I0&feature=r­elated

  • @2lovefaith this is a copy, not a cover :-)

  • @typhoon1978

    Is there a difference?

    Anyway, I think he's gooood....

  • @2lovefaith yes it's good also according to me, just I think a cover must be an interpretation not a copy, but this is just my opinion. For example I really appreciate the cover of U2 - One by Mary J. Blige which adds the "black touch" to the song with her great voice :-)

  • Check out my ukulele version of Creep!

  • ...non ne posso fare a meno... penso proprio di perdermi ascoltandolo!!!!! ....how can i say... makes me faint..!!!!!!

  • I don't get it, why make a version that is inferior to the original, ....

  • @MrCarlitostheone Because, while I agree with you that the original is better than this, there are already many comments which show that people feel otherwise. Something for everyone!

  • i'm a huge radiohead fan, and I don't think anyone BUT Damien Rice can pull off covering any of R.H.'s material. Rice has a voice similar to Yorke; a soul penetrating voice, that is full of raw feeling that carries the song and the listener.

  • @odessat no.. if you search "creep homeless mustard" .. you'll find hes done an amazing cover

  • @odessat Homeless mustard can

  • @0JellyBeans0 exactly!! :D

  • @odessat EXACTLY what I was about to comment. You hit the nail right on the head. They have the most beautiful voices, ones that dig right into your heart.

  • @odessat eliza doolittles is quite nice

  • @odessat ok cool but its not "Radiohead's" material. you should know that since you a fan of Radiohead.

  • @odessat Roland Orzabal did an amazing version of it live in 1996. Hauntingly beautiful. It pierces through your soul.

  • omg!!!! This is sheer beauty.

  • I loved the original, but I'm almost positive I love this one more. I just can't get over the smoothness and softness and raw emotion his voice shows... It's just amazing <3

  • Great track listen too Kulu change of heart on youtube.

  • i'm sure radiohead could perform their own song, put a different name as the artist, label it as a cover and all these radiohead fans would flame it as 'not even close to the original', or 'nobody can cover radiohead'...this is amazing :)

  • @PatAttack74 I'm sure you are wrong. They are far too distinct - but especially Thom - easy to recognise his vocal (mumbled) delivery anywhere ... nice try, anyway.

  • @damens you're not understanding what i'm saying...it's ok. You can't deny that this is an amazing performance of a great song

  • Radiohead are awesome I forgot about them. So many memories from back in the day. Pretty good cover, and fantastic for acoustic! Damien Rice has good taste to cover this, and the most lovely voice. I love performers whose voices carry them, not the various sound effects and music distortions.

  • perfect <3

  • DONT HAVE SUCH LOW SELF ESTEEM U ROCK!!!!

  • good but even damien can't cover radioheads.

  • Sorry but no ones cover comes close to Radioheads original :)

  • @Saphia0015 The idea of a cover isn't to get as close to the original as possible..

  • Feels kinda bad, but... I think this version is better than the Radiohead version.

  • It's "fucking special," not "very special."

  • @clownshoes87 This is Damien's version and maybe he didn't feel like adding a cuss word. Get over it.

  • @clownshoes87 it was recorded for a starbucks playlist which is why he doesn't use the expletive

  • @domproc Thanks for the info.

  • @clownshoes87 thats the clean version its what they do on the radio too

  • @sheehan35 Yea, I realize that. I don't care about a radio cover. If you're going to cover a song, cover it the right way.

  • @clownshoes87 this was a cover done FOR radio retard

  • @clownshoes87 in the acoustic version even thom yorke says "very special"

  • damien rice has a deeply depressing voice

  • Ahhhh...

  • Great song sung by a man with a gorgeous voice. Radiohead is fine, but the singer isn't quite this good.

  • original song by radiohead :)

  • hah.. i feel like this describes me so perfectly right now i could cry..

  • DrynSarcastic360...see what you mean. Just never thought of Damien Rice doing Radiohead....both very good versions of a brilliant song....

  • I think this is better than radiohead...

  • woooooooooooooooooooooo i love youuuuuuuuuu

  • Totaly how I'm feeling these days.. that's so sad.

  • any attempt at recreating this song is musical heresy. you cannot improve upon perfection. with all due respect to the brilliant Mr. Rice.

  • @kristinsteffen1 LMAO, There are over 200 pro & amateur covers of this song, existent today. Great music has the capacity to touch many, and inspire them to try to re-capture that greatness, themselves. When a musician covers a song, makes it their own, adds their own soul to it, it is a tribute, a nod from one talent to another.

  • 51 persons aren't fuckin' special!

  • @juicyfruit234 well, I'm kind of happy I am not 'special' , lol. but I like radiohead anyway

  • @kuroNEC0 okay, but it's no reason for not liking the one of Damien Rice, you know :)

  • eargasm!!!

  • @casoinsolito @PaulCosgrave you guys interpreted what I've said pure semantically. I couldn't hear the attitude I hear from Tom Yorkes, that's what I mean

  • Let's say, the original is "So fucking special" and this one is "So damn special". Noticed the difference?

  • @webbruno0 Think you mean "so very special" :)

  • @PaulCosgrave think you´re wrong :)

  • @webbruno0 Where's the problem? Rice has no difficult with "bad" words. Listen to his other songs. Maybe in this case he finds "damn" more appropriate than "fucking".

  • fuckin amazing

  • 9/10 because he should have cussed. "So fuckin special," Damien Rice is incredible; he's probably one of the few artists out there that can get away with covering this song.

  • OR-GASM-IQUE.

  • I think this cover is rly good, and I think Damien rice is amazing, but I do have to say tht the radiohead acoustic version is still the absolute best with the scala and kolacny brothers version a close second...again, still very good

  • Best cover of this song!

  • Radiohead is amazing. Damien Rice makes me cry. Together= omigod.

  • 9/10!

    no 10/10's 'cause were all creeps (im-perfectionists) ;)

  • I give it a 9/10

    I'd give you a 10/10 if it were your song!

    

  • I wish I was special.

  • This shouldnt really work, should it? Great cover giving the song a totally different slant.

  • @53lyrical not really, check out radioheads acoustic version...

  • es mejor la version de tom yorke en acustico... esta es solo una copia, no un cover... sin demeritar a rice en su trabajo, pero no me gusto...

  • Perfect song for his voice.

  • Tenaz.......

  • Nice cover. Best of any I've ever heard.

  • BEST VERSION !!!!

  • I'm pretty sure he could make even Baby sound good.

  • @Seabearful id love to hear that

  • if you think this is good, check out Homeless Mustard's version.... amazing!!!

  • Damien Rice i love you you amazing man!

  • Comment removed

  • good. good intention to make the perfect cover. see mustard sings creep and pretenders to get the things you need to be the best.

  • From ' Sounds Eclectic- The Covers Project' A great album of covers..

  • amazing cover to a great song

  • 2:22 goosbumps

  • thnks for the orgasm to my ears! :) come tomorrow again please! thnk you!

  • radioheads creep will always be the best version but this will always be the best cover.

  • Damien. You never cease to amaze me. Please don't stop.

  • where can i find this??!? it's definitely not on itunes

  • I truly find myself in these lyrics...I really feel like this song was specially written for me .. :))

  • I will now go blow my brains out...Wait one more song

  • shot right to hearth
