Radiohead From The Basement Down Is The New Up

[Keidoupe]

13 people thought that thumbs down are the new thumbs up

[JohnTuckerBailey]

Fuck your trends. I just need Radiohead.

[WarPigJubirai]

the voice is more thick in 4:30......... I liked the old voice..

[0kcomputer]

What a good quality this song is. I would take off 10 years of my life to have Thom Yorke's genius quality. I don't care living until 110.

[madddog2487]

you crawled off and left us

you are a BASTARD

Lol

IM LOVIN´IT

[TheYouthfool]

How in the world are there dislikes?

You searched Radiohead and struck gold

[puffintheshed]

I think this is about Tony (fukin) Blair.

I also thought Mr Yorke said he couldnt play the piano! I wish i couldn't play the piano like that! keep up the good work you middle aged father of three (could be four).

[JamesFritch42]

Listen to Codex in reverse on my channel. I have posted what i believe are they intended reversed lyrics in the comments. Also if you like that check out Videotape in reverse and look for my comments. I have posted the backward lyrics for that song as well. enjoi

[AndyMarz513]

Down is the new up, Thumbs down for a thumbs up...wait. o.O

[Dolphidood]

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE O__o but slowly... to Radio head... with pleasure...

[kerins94]

I often forget Thom Yorke is human

[NeverSaidYes]

The studio version chorus is frightening.

[biggestfanofroger]

...and in that moment, John Lennon was outplayed.

[nttunstall]

ID TRADE MY MOM FOR THAT MEN AND PIANO D: 

[Moggs24]

Im sometimes amazed at how good In Rainbows is. Honestly the first disc is legendary and then the bonus disc is a damn good album on its own.

[anywhereyoulike]

just awesome!

[ljredshaw]

Why this was NOT on the main album, I will never know

[julienthewhale]

I want Thom Yorke in MY basement.

[r0tat0]

I pooped my pants once.

[voladora92]

Just perfect (:

[dant6779]

Radiohead are the Beatles of this generation.

[antipop84]

@dant6779 ....and not nearly enough people recognise that, which is kinda bitter sweet.

[jirdimaster]

Your cervixes are not required

[Joelzania]

@jirdimaster :L

[keyurtubby]

13 people think up is the new down

[ollyrdfc]

TKOL From the Basement is coming!!!

[xXAjaxXx]

I love the album version, but this one is a real treat too :)

[narsyam]

LOVE :]

[narsyam]

LOVE :]

[MadAboutGoo]

I made that piano when I was 3! Just for this moment...

[brainmachine04]

"Ready? Nigel?"

[tycm1234]

what if i just flip-flopped?

[tzjc24]

I don't think we were ready for the brilliance Thom, because nothing else on the planet could prepare you.

[pirateman1989]

Thom's musical rhythm and timing is more precise than Greenwich meridian

[Severran]

GREAT SONG!

[satinexxx29]

C'est un génie, rien de moins! He is a genius, nothing less!

[immelol4]

gay marriage and polygamy should be legal so that every radiohead fan can have their dream of marrying Thom completed

[Incubated81]

@immelol4 poor mr yorke

[TheAngryMudkip]

13 people think up is the new down

[TheSirMadness]

now i want Thom's haircut

[louyze]

13 people are deaf.

[Surferbra45]

classic thom yorke

[BeFungi]

What is up buttercup?

[Kamiikamiq]

Amazing. Thom is the best.

[knifemares]

fantastic.

[Incubated81]

this sounds very dark without drums

[mahavishnuxc]

@Incubated81 yeah without the drums this is just bullshit. for me the drum beat was what attracted me to the song.

[Radiolagarto]

bullshit? omg u dont deserve to listen to it... just shut up man u are ridicule

[Radiolagarto]

the best is the piano ignorant

[mahavishnuxc]

@Radiolagarto notice how i said "for me" signifying that it is my personal opinion asshole, and i would appreciate it if your didnt ridicule it or insult me because of it. in fact your insults make you look ignorant and immature because you dont respect other peoples opinions because they dont assimilate to your own. yes the piano is good, but for me the drums was the best part. (notice how i didnt get on your case because you didnt agree with my opinion on the drumming)

[Radiolagarto]

ok but if u say this is a bullshit... i can say u ignorant... dont say shits and i will be polute...ignorant

[Radiolagarto]

man u saying this is a bullshit.... wot are u talking about respect?? are u idiot???

[Radiolagarto]

play the drums its so easy compare with the piano... i can say it because i play the drums and not the piano... and wot thom yorkes does playing alone and sounds as well as he sounds... man the word bullshit is not a chance... and that was my angry.

Dont talk me about respect and read wot u write.

[mahavishnuxc]

@Radiolagarto actually, you are the idiot because your acting like a little kid getting angry because i dont share your opinion in the song. on your profile it says your 30 years old, im 19 and you are the one who is acting like a child. grow the fuck up mate. i love radiohead too, i liked the drums. i have not insulted you but you are pissing me off. so shut the fuck up AND GROW UP. STOP MESSAGING ME.

[mahavishnuxc]

@Radiolagarto Paisan, yo no quiero discutir con usted. vamos a ser adultos y dejar de luchar. Radiohead es una banda buena, vamos a dejarlo así. por favor, quiero que me dejes en paz

[81506860]

this ist so incredible beautiful

[wilIiamhawthorne]

i'm pretty glad nigel was ready

[rrescozoo5]

Thom is really a wonderful piano player. He isn't the most technical, but his musicality is through the roof!

[trogdor711]

I love how when they smile because they are enjoying playing so much i get that so much :)

[NOSFERATUalu]

Hes a really cool cat =D

As a musician I dream of making something as great as this beautiful piece

[pigshamchess]

im glad even he smiles at the line "you are so last week" 

[SirDegzzalot]

i will trade my sister for that piano

[SixFourTvvo]

@SirDegzzalot I'd trade my left nut for that piano....



[SixFourTvvo]

@SirDegzzalot Your sister? Thats all you have to offer? I'd give my left nut for that piano.

[mylogon341]

@SirDegzzalot you can trade her for my piano ;)

[OneManAndHisToaster]

Awesomeness! Why the fuck does Radiohead never comes to Portugal? |:

[passionfortruth]

the smile at 2:12 is awesome!

[bukk3t]

@passionfortruth it's not a smile.  you're an idiot

[passionfortruth]

@bukk3t What the hell do you call it then?

[ReggaeMusic3]

@bukk3t Actually, it is...you sir, are the idiot. lol

[MicahBuzan]

WHEN are they going to start playing this song live again? i surprised that they haven't played it once since the release of In Rainbows.

[cloudi87]

On a good day i can sing just as high as Thom Yorke. To bad i have my bad days too. On a bad day i can sing just as high as a castrated cat.

[LunaParvulus]

@cloudi87 This made me laugh so much. Thanks

[cloudi87]

@LunaParvulus It's NOT funny! :p

[UND3RDOGhimself]

I like his sort of awkwardness in the beginning, "Ready? Nigel?" Thom Yorke is the greatest musician of our time, and possibly all time.

[jirdimaster]

Man, i didn't like this song before but it is totally rocking my socks at the moment, add it to my obscenely long list of favorite Radiohead songs

[drawboy6x3]

I LOVE his face when he sings "you're so last week..."

[SERLITZ]

This song is haunting.



[kauehb]

1000 stars! 

[JPetch]

"You crawled off and left us... you bastard" fucking great lyric

[hazel31281]

UNICI!!!!!!!!! IO TI AMO!!

[drnavarro84]

[drnavarro84]

impresionante

[zosoppelin]

extraordinario.

[gayleighb]

that is one bitch-ass piano.

[williammelvin]

bravo. other bands come and go but radiohead march on. they are uncomparible.

[malstone2]

the pink floyd of our generation

[TheScreamingtree]

Thom Yorke's blues. Great!!! By the way, i´m 35 and invented the donuts hole.

[mytchief07]

wooow! I love radiohead's music

[Mensoda]

mamma mia che voce

[bensley56]

fuuuuck. this song is so good!!

[1707054]

my pants keep falling up in public!

[BuddyWillis]

your future's bleak, you're so last week

[MicahBuzan]

topsy tuvey town...that gives me chills

[jirdimaster]

The chords in this song kinda remind me of I Will Possess Your Heart by Death Cab, Radiohead is better lol but it reminds me of that song

[SERLITZ]

@jirdimaster Now that I think of it, yeah kinda. :D

[trdcreole]

1:25 great change.

[TheSupersonicLiam]

These comments remind me of the great ones with Chuck Norris...Anyway,this is a fucking awesome song and Radiohead are the best band on earth...

[Averilli1]

I am 17 and I love this song.

[hzthereaper]

....why did you tell us that?

[Averilli1]

You should see the previous comments.... I was just having a laugh.

[jirdimaster]

Um ok why do we care about ur age?

[Averilli1]

Look at my response to the first person who asked that... and do me a favour, pass it on to the next person before they blindly give me an insecure attitude.

[jirdimaster]

Insecure? I love to hear u explain how that was insecure

[Averilli1]

Insecure = Conforming... "we" meaning us. Erm yeah why do all of you normal people care? Ohh yeah just you. In fact you know what just shut up rude tosser... your ignoring everything but what you can throw at me. Get a life!

[jirdimaster]

Lol ur hilarious, u think ur a regular indie kid don't u? One comment and u think u know me, i was just saying why do we, the rest of the world not a specific group, give a shit about ur age

[mhauck11]

I'm 3 and invented the internet.

[megamattlolz]

@mhauck11 nice putdown :)

[judamann123]

hahahahaa that was funny randmanq

[randmanq]

@judamann123 what did i say?

[randmanq]

@judamann123 it doesn't show what i said

[ichkuckdochnur]

@mhauck11

I'm God. I invented YOU.

[IMightJustBeWrong]

Haha, lord2313 you suck.

[KarlDilkington23]

Twat.

[bluespaceships00]

im only 14 and i can hit the same notes but itll go away ....ha puberty

[fuzzvid]

@bluespaceships00

Sure, your voice will change. High notes will be more difficult. Keep singing, though, and you'll be fine :)

[kurtsibelius]

@bluespaceships00 Hey man, it's only because you're 14. Trust me on that!

[robbravo1]

4:07 starts such a sinister sequence that chills me.

[laurents45]

Damn that guy is awesome. Everytime every album they are hitting the sky. Weird lyrics, crazy sounds its a focking mess but it feels like a line of coke up in my nose. Indeed down is the new up.

[OlympiaOverdrive]

Ugh that smile at 2:14 made my heart do a double beat. ;)

I like this song very very much.

[torgosassistant]

Haha, that little grin made me smile too :P

I've finally obtained hitting the same notes as Thom. This is not an easy task for someone with a baritone voice like me.

[fuzzvid]

@torgosassistant

If only hitting them was enough!

(being a fellow baritone, I do sympathise)

[torgosassistant]

True that. Hitting octaves is merely a baby-step towards achieving awesomeness.

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

down is the new upYou crawled off and left us.

You crawled off and left us.

You bastard. You bastard.

You crawled off and left us.

You crawled off and left us.

[Bananaman2nd]

Ah thanks for that! I never knew what the lyrics were at that bit. Cheers

[whatstillremains]

whos nigel?

[dorita612]

Nigel Godrich, their producer

[Nietzschopenhauer]

What is a 180 flip-flop?.

[fuzzvid]

@Nietzschopenhauer

A flip-flop is a gymnastic move, also known as a handspring - in involves turning around your axis a full 180 degrees.

It is also a term to denote a sudden change of political position (John Kerry was famously accused of being a flip-flopper).

[fuzzvid]

@fuzzvid

Correction: a flip-flop in gymnastics is 360 degrees, obviously!

Otherwise, you would finish upside-down (which is what Thom is talking about).

[JemaKnight]

Absolutely sublime.

[fuzzvid]

Yorke's sad music is so uplifting to me.

Completely brilliant.

[Nietzschopenhauer]

¡Bravo!.

[degree7]

Is this a B side?

[julijalia]

No, it's In Rainbows disc 2

[yousuperpussy]

@degree7: yes pretty much, though like julijalia said it's on in rainbows disc 2

[daurpm]

ready freddy

[JazzHandz88]

how the hell doi buy disc 2 anyone??

[williammelvin]

[JohnTheFaun]

W.A.S.T.E. on the radiohead web site

[bjmensz]

was this filmed inside the matrix

[loasiuhuu]

I love Thom's smirk at 2:15 :) great song

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

Down Is the New Up

Get yourself together

Let the light pour in

Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink

Nothing's gonna happen without a warning

Down is the new up

What is up, buttercup

Down is the new up, is the new up

Your services are not required

Your future's bleak, you're so last week

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop I shall now amputate, I shall now contort Because down is the new up What if I just flip-flopped? Down is the new up Down is the new up Down is the new up, is the new up You crawled off and left us. You crawled off and left us. You bastard. You bastard.

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

You're on Candid Camera The chink in your armor Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town Shake your pockets out Pass it on, pass it down Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town You crawled off and left us. You crawled off and left us. You bastard. You bastard. You crawled off and left us. You crawled off and left us.

[apartment906]

What is up, buttercup?

[zacheuss]

oh wuldnt u like to know u sneaky little fox

[Jimslut]

matt smith sucks dicks

[yaoiaiks]

This version it's better than studio

[eskraka]

Lindo!!!

[FallenHector26]

Three Words Best Band Ever!

[jillesflinteman]

you mean 5 words

[gbrllglr]

His voice is so perfect.

[msb3079]

this is good.. but full band studio is MUCH better, IMO.

[MicahBuzan]

wish the studio version had the energy present here especially during the topsy turvey breakdown.

[blizzrd578]

i completely agree. these basement recordings have been my go to for a while.. until i saw them live in dallas.

[xninjajjx]

haha, thom is vair sexy when he does his falsettos

[TheYoungMinds]

I like this so much better than the studio, it has a whole different feel.

[kulovan]

yes you're right, it's more pure.

[opmike343]

Nothing like listening to an artist putting their heart and soul into their craft. The commercialized garbage on the radio might as well be in Morse Code.

[ijizz420]

agreed, well put actualy

[andreas2313]

i want to play like that, can anyone get the partitions for this heavenly music???

[pinopineda]

Professional players!

[macton2000]

[envy2330]

i just love the passion he puts into his songs...you always have to discover the message behind his lyrics and that's wonderful

[skyseye]

great evil smile when he says "you're so last week"...

[sideburns1227]

Amazing.

[bowyer56]

this is so much better than the recorded version

[teamost15]

[teamost15]
