Codex - Radiohead (The King of Limbs - 2011)

[wreccen]

According to Tom Waits, music is just one of the many interesting things one can do with air. Thank God the guys from Radiohead agree with him so completely. 

[thedarkevil6]

This song disconnects me from this world and takes me to another...

[xJROMER0x]

had to listen to it 3 times before i could really take this song in

[jumpyourbone]

such pretty noises

[srnk47]

Holy shit this is good



[zzaacckkcc]

when i listen to this i hear the song LOW by CRACKERS in the beginning "like being low, hey hey hey like being stoned"

[CodexRedBlueGreen]

Words can't describe the beauty of this masterpiece. Made damn sure to pick this song up on guitar.

[smudgypalms]

this song is almost unbearably beautiful

[trolliMC]

Like floating wieghtless

[CupofTomorrow]

@trolliMC exactly

[robmadore1]

@MrSmackdown100 no, God wishes he could be thom yorke

[ThomTheBear]

... simply and purely beautiful. beautiful for its purity perhaps ...

[Jonnyewafc]

One of Radiohead's most touching and beautiful songs. Sheer class.

[WTFskillsproductions]

disregarded this album for a while, like many say it grows in the back of your mind

[THEalfalfa1]

guess i should maybe get this album.... kind of lost some interest in radiohead, anyone think i should get it?

[MrPimmetjepom]

@THEalfalfa1 I think is a very special and good album

[THEalfalfa1]

@MrPimmetjepom alright, thanks, i'll check this out sometime

[VanillaSnow23]

This song has the power to end wars.

[CupofTomorrow]

@VanillaSnow23 what a wonderful thought :)

[mhulin88]

Loved this album from the get go! It's spectacular that these guys change it up a little every time and to see how much they've evolved since albums like Kid A and Pablo Honey.

[dezystargalaxy1]

I listen to Radiohead everyday.

[crustymetaldude]

I wish I was this band

[calimachos123]

did u know dat while the vid charches and u press the arrows u can play a little snake game while listening?!?!?!? WELL I DIDNT MOFOSS!! :3

[santoinb]

Thumbs up if Beyonce's Photo Shoot brought you here!!

[crystalcomplexion]

It's okay to miss Lindsey, Joel.

[jorgemccerati]

ohhhhh god....amo radiohead! ellos ponen la musica y yo viajo!

[bono300vox]

makes me fly

[luisdarkangel]

WTF IS CHUCK? I only know thom sorry.

[JerryGuitarcia]

Perfect. Amazing. Makes my bones ache.

[JennaughS]

So beautiful.



[MrBasatan]

Brilliant.

[STE4LYOURFACE]

thumb this comment down into oblivion.

[jhmasoud]

Will everyone shutup and enjoy the beyond amazing music? :)

[MinamuTV]

This album really grows on you:

1st time listening: This is it? For Radiohead?

2nd: I guess this isn't so bad...still disappointed.

3rd: This is actually good. Lots of the songs are nice.

4th: Wow, another great album by Radiohead!

5th and over: Friggin' masterpiece.

[elephantpoo4u]

@MinamuTV u had to listen to the album three times? fkn noob

[MinamuTV]

@elephantpoo4u I'm just making a point that the album grows on you.

[Huntman1394]

@MinamuTV haha, I was the exact same way.

[SamAndrew27]

@MinamuTV I agree, to an extent....BUT I do not think this is in the same league as Ok Computer and Kid A. Just can't compare, IMHO!

[LaughingUltros]

@MinamuTV

It's a shame I've been stuck between 1 and 2 for a WHILE now.

And the album would be better with the "b-sides" added in, I like some of them better than the album itself.

[Jocamicobo]

@MinamuTV i start listening now and i will prove you are right

[TheUndying1001]

Chuck Norris doesn't "bring" people, they follow him.

[RonaldinhoReborn]

@TheUndying1001 They don't mean norris. Chuck is a show.

[CristianBlackLabel]

Eargasm

[MAVsince1991]

i tend to separate my song list via categories, i.e happy songs, energetic songs etc...

this fits the 'surreal/intangible explanation' category

[TOmOeItOh]

@MAVsince1991 Sappy, maybe?

[AlfredTwyman96]

I was skeptical when I first heard about this album coming out because I wasn't sure whether they could go any further with what they've got without becoming shit... this song is a testament to how very wrong I was!

[peaceOnEarth28]

@AlfredTwyman96 same here I was very skeptical about that album too but now that I heard it a few times I fucking love it just like the other albums and this is my favourite song from their new album

[oprahlover23]

slowed down version of low by cracker.. same exact chords

check it out

[etejuanete3]

@adultuser111 I'm not saying simple music sucks, I'm saying that sttling, scratch that, being stuck with the same and simple chord progression is being unoriginal. sure, a musician can have simple, but yet beautiful songs, but it's no big deal as long as he/she looks for new things

[latesq1]

Thom is the reason for all life. He created us. You are my GOD Thom. I will do whatever you say. Even if you told me to eat my own shit and wash it down with some piss. OBEY Thom the bible says.

[Caesarslegion1]

@applemacnice Nice. I see what you did there.

[KoiChannel]

Look up "While The City Sleeps - Rooftop Dreamers", kind of similar industrial triphop techtures yet huge emotional crescendos.

[Ficcionario]

Que rola, esta lloviendo y con truenos en Guatemala y yo escuchando a RADIOHEAD...Bellísimo....

[FALLENxS0UL]

This song is genius. Hell, Radiohead as a whole is genius.

Wait, genius is an understatement.

[OliverLionXD]

well, this is a depressing song, butt i heart this song when i'm depress so...

[AwesomeCoasters]

@OliverLionXD As Thom Yorke said, the only depressing music that exists is the one that contains no passion or will, like hit radio music. Just the fact that someone managed to translate sadness into music is already an uplifting thing.

[Caesarslegion1]

@AwesomeCoasters that's a nice way to think about it

[Bin643]

am not kidding I swear to god

Radiohead is my weed and I high now without weed

[scoutcollins]

My favorite from this album. Definitely that classic haunting Radiohead sound (Nude; Videotape; Pyramid Song; Kid A). These guys are so good at this.

[aburg10s]

My opinion of this song is the universal feeling of being perfectly fine while being alone at the same time. It's about personal reflection about one's surroundings.

[livingwater29]

I just heard this song live on Palladia (Music Channel) and blew my mind away......first time I bought anything by Radiohead and won;t be the last.....this song is so hunting and not about suicide....it's actually about re-birth/starting over

[sandresressand]

Someone checked out "fall away" Radiohead (Youtube) a b-side from The King of Limbs ?? or from another cd??

IT S EXCELLENT !!

[JamesIndieify]

listening to this song+looking at that picture= Your Mind=BLOWN

[snipersas]

shit album

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@snipersas

AMAZING album.

[captainbatguano]

@snipersas haha troll

[snipersas]

@captainbatguano yeah man i must be trolling, theres no way anyone could possibly not pop a boner to this uninspired self involved pile of shit "lp"

[captainbatguano]

@snipersas why u so mad bro? its just music, maybe you need to get laid instead of sitting in your moms basement whining about radiohead. your probly not even a musician, so stfu

[snipersas]

@captainbatguano 0/10

[granfrijole]

Ooh, now I'm the king of the limbs. I'm the limbmeister. I like to count on them. BARNDT!

[eagletones]

I would love to try heroin for the first time, to this song.

[kruztyjarcore]

magia

[ayako98]

:|

[1finalfantasyplayer]

Love it. Radiohead is always surprising

[Atraiterm]

Gallagher is inflicted with "green-eyed monster" syndrome.

[Badoosh45]

Well Gallagher can talk all the shit he wants. It doesn't change the fact remains Radiohead has a diverse body of work that has influenced tons of bands, critics love them, their fans love them, and Oasis hasn't produce anything of great importance for around say what 16 years? Yeah, so you can mock Thom and his 1,000 year old tree, Gallagher, while you play Wonderwall for the billionth time.

[Schumitastic]

@Badoosh45 I wouldn't take notice of Gallagher's comments - he recently called brother Noel a 'shitbag' via twitter which is sad considering Liam owes all his success simply down to Noel. The talent difference between the two will be seen for all when Noel releases his solo album.

[microwavableants]

Thumbs up if Chuck didn't bring you here

[oflz412]

@microwavableants Who the fuck is Chuck?

[microwavableants]

@oflz412 Chuck is a TV show

[gripweed100]

Liam Gallagher's mindset is rather small, but the pea inside it still rattles loud.

[gogolplex74]

Liam gallgher on Radiohead’s ‘The King Of Limbs;: "I heard that fucking Radiohead record and I just go, ‘What?!’ I like to think that what we do, we do fucking well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a fucking break! A thousand year old tree? Go fuck yourself!"

What a desperate piece of shit (Gallagher)

[CTeamAwsome]

@gogolplex74 who is he man?

[eddyelevation]

is it me or does this not sound like U2"S WINTER(brothers version)....................

[camillaparks]

Do NOT listen to this if you're having a tough time in love. Beautiful Song.

[mehappierthanu]

Stop debating about whether its a good song, shitty song, sounds like another song ... close your fucking eyes and emerge with the codex.

[BillyandBarry]

why the hell is britney spears the featured video here?

[MonsterSmokeBlack]

@BillyandBarry Who gives a fuck? 

[PianicFanatic]

@BillyandBarry Just shut up and listen

[Carthsgtr]

The king of limbs is two steps bellow pathetic. Shame on the their studio and producer for not telling them what a load of pretentious fuck heads they are acting like.

Absolutely awful.

[david181993]

@Carthsgtr Lol, who is the producer to tell the band what to do? Idiot.

If you don't like the album then why are you listening to this? I admit I don't think it's there best but it is still a good album, and this song especially is just brilliant.

[Carthsgtr]

@david181993

I am listening to it because I WANT to like it. Yet, it's just such a forgettable fucking mess.

[Arcantos95]

@Carthsgtr Then quit wanting to like something you can't force yourself to like. Just find something else to listen to.

[Sonicc22]

I feel alone



[musicwoman5]

@Sonicc22 mee too

[godlion89]

thom voices always sound innocent,..

[theocean1973]

No offense to radiohead, but I just can't stand the first 4 songs on this album. But the last 4 songs are totally amazing and perfect!

[etherealsnstuff]

listened to this twenty times.....twenty one.....

[DylanRidermusic]

Radiohead albums always have at least one song that nearly brings me to tears with its beauty (Nude, Motion Picture Soundtrack, etc...) this is definitely the song from this album. Thom Yorke is a fucking genius!

[robbietea]

@DylanRidermusic I agree they should make album of these songs, they all have something really amazing in common that I cant quite explain.

[ColorfulHyena]

@DylanRidermusic

Thom Yorke? What about Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway? :O You're forgetting the rest of the band :(

[saxengee2]

a little desperate for artistic feedback- please excuse me- but please check out my brand new tune 'diving Bells (make believes)' - radiohead are my favourite band of all time.

[VanillaSnow23]

I think this song has the power to defeat Illuminati.

[whitenotetheband]

Love it. The entire album.

If you guys like Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Jeff Buckley or Muse, check my band White Note on youtube, by clicking on whitenotetheband below. Let us know if you enjoy it :)

[SweeneyXskellington]

A brilliant song.

[McLuvin411]

The repitition kills this song.

[MrMrhuw]

@McLuvin411 :O the repetition gives this song a continued orgasm

[QuantikMusic]

@McLuvin411 I disagree, i think you need the patience and right mind set to accept this song for what it is. I think it is a work of art. In my opinion.

[lakai4]

absolutely incredible...

[Asdfqwerty1991]

i love this song

[MikatheMonster]

So haunting.



[peetahshin]

Thi song gives me the chills. I can't stop listening to it.

[claudiaslr]

song for everyday without exception.

[Vlodrak]

"Reckoner..."

"WHO SAID THAT!!"



[CtotheWalker]

Man, aren't opinions on the internet divisive?

You either enjoy the music or you don't. That's all there is to it. No need to go on bile driven rants about it.

[FlavourFlaveify]

@CtotheWalker Hello! This is MtotheFlavell!

[ztikmaen]

OMFFFFG!!

They need to release Toy Story 1 again just to add this song into the part where Buzz Lightyear tries to fly out the window! Thom even sings "Jump off the edge" :DD

[GenGeorgeWashington]

God, this was Beautiful..

[Benjomatic]

Best song on the album.

[theleadsinger93]

@NinjaPirateBaby @pedronuno91 @myownego look at you defending a band. Think youre fucking high and mighty because you listen to alternative music and think youre fucking educated. you don't know shit about music. Every radiohead song sounds the same and fuckwits like you say they are so original, unique and fuckingmystical. They suck dick. give me some real musical reasons why they are good. explain it. they suck cock and you wont have an explanation so go fuck yourself you high and mighty cunt.

[Benjomatic]

@theleadsinger93 I agree with your statement, and double it minus the swear words. There's a lot of elitism with alt, rock fans. Who are by and large in my experience, self-absorbed idiots.

[blargd]

@Benjomatic Personally I just like there music myself, no elitism there, if I like a song, I like it as simple as that

[etejuanete3]

@theleadsinger93 shut up already. you try to make yourself look brave because you say fuck. how old are you? you seem to be like those mental teens that just think about death metal and hardcore sex.

Radiohead is the most original living band. not a challenge to tell you the reasons cause you won't understand anyways. what about YOU giving ME a reason why they aren't original huh??

and by the way. when you insult the way Thom Yorke sings, you're already showing you know nothing about music

[gabryl2323]

@etejuanete3 I always have hardcore sex with this song.... Its amazing just like this SONG.. Drink a brew give her a wine cooler put this song on... Amazing

[theleadsinger93]

@etejuanete3

Theyre music is unoriginal. youwant reasons. Theycant settle for a simple chord structurebut insiston moody chordswith a 6th or 7th in a pointlessplace, they server nopurpose and add no extra color to the music. They're rythms only serve to makethe music difficult to follow. Tell me thetime signature in myxamatosis. Thom Yorke doesnot sing, he whinesand bitches. He uses his falsetto like everyteenage choirboy andit sucks. Noone can understand himeither so his lyrics count for shit.

[mcguic26]

@theleadsinger93

Surely the more complex chord structures and off beat rhythms are completely original you knob. They are the most innovative and original band around you knob! Comparing Thom Yorke to a schoolboy is retarded, the music is clearly nothing like what any choir would sing... you knob. And the music is only difficult to follow if you haven't got a note in your head you knob.

Goodnight and God bless.

[magicalmysteryollie]

@mcguic26 "you knob"

[intuition666]

@theleadsinger93 if only every teenage choirboy had falsetto like thom.. keep dreaming



[etejuanete3]

@theleadsinger93 so settling for a simple chord is being a good musician ? dude your music concept is screwed up. being original is CHANGING, looking for something musicaly new, something with a real and sometimes hidden meaning. not being stuck with simple and repetitive things, adding extra atmosphere to the song like in Myxomatosis (the voice IS an atmosphere), and speak for yourself, you have to think to understand his lyrics, but maybe thinking is a new concept for you

[Lemure333]

@etejuanete3 A little rough but good point... Being a very "touching" or "moving song" it's the feel and the energy that I experience and the simplicity adds instead of taking away. Sometimes music is so complex and changes chords and progressions so often that the energy shifts IME... Anyway, I think most will agree that they are all very talented and this song is beautiful. Simplicity is sometimes more... enjoy.

[Lemure333]

@theleadsinger93 You seem like a very unhappy person,go and get well and maybe someday you can come hang and join the crowd and enjoy what we are listening to.You come into a thread and bitch and whine and your bruised ego just screams for attention.Are you jealous you are not a famous musician or something?Really, your post just shows how miserable you are, there is a whole world full of help, maybe it's time to go get some.Take care of yourself and try to have some fun w/o dragging others down

[elitet0kr]

@etejuanete3

hey man, I think I remember you from a comment section on one of the "The Young Turks" videos. If I recall correctly, we were both bashing trolls there. Nice to see you here! Radiohead for life

[etejuanete3]

@elitet0kr sssuuup hehe

[elitet0kr]

@etejuanete3

not much, man... tis a small interwebz, yeah? :)

[etejuanete3]

@elitet0kr certainly. soo how's everythin'??

[LadieChubbs]

this song is about spiritual rebirth

[funkychicken5192]

I think The King of limbs is one of those albums where you have to sit and just listen to the whole thing your first time. It's not like say... ok computer where you could just hear a song and fall in love. There's no 'paranoid android' on this album. The majority of people will never realize how hauntingly beautiful TKOL is because their looking for that one incredible song, rather than feeling the flow of the music track by track.

[jipidibipity]

codex leicester

[oObadphishOo]

honestly guys i know no one asked me but i find it a lil distasteful that the song from the new album getting the most attention has the least of radiohead in it and it sounds like the only song on the album thats in a mostly major key... for non music folk, basically, every pop song is in major key. GREAT SONG. but i bet thom yorke is disappointed in himself right now

[1967ginger]

@oObadphishOo ..Great point!!! Sometimes the most popular songs are never my favorites or what I would consider a great representation of the art and talent of the band. And as for the marketing of bands, I do sometimes hate all that is wrapped up in that, but for the part of it that brings amazing artists to me, that I can look beyond the "hit" and find the true beauty...I'll take it.

[oObadphishOo]

@1967ginger respect on that fact brotha. I'll take it.

[JamieandPaula]

This song is haunting. So simple, subtle and beautiful.

[dipapa0]

i first heard it on chuck... excelent song! thanks!

[theleadsinger93]

radiohead is actually so shit. dont know why people like them. the singer just whines like a little bitch. so crapppp

[NinjaPirateBaby]

@theleadsinger93 Than why in the crap did you come to comment on this song? Go get a life and leave us alone!

[pedronuno91]

@theleadsinger93 HOW OLD ARE YOU? omg... Radiohead shit???? So, what is a good band for you? Oh... ok you're a "Creep" fan, because that song means too much for you... that's fine!

[myownego]

@theleadsinger93

poor lost little soul

[socals1finest]

CHUCK!!!!!

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@socals1finest

...what?

[benniebijtmuis]

Sleight of haaaand, stopping power pro. :P

[MegaBeerwolf]

You didn't jump, you fell. Rest In Peace Braxton

[judicatordex]

Thom....I want to make love with your soul........what a talented person.....to write this amazing masterpiece

[TheDibiasity]

Masters of sound.........



[08Intergalactic]

and this is why i love radiohead!

[Arcknagar1]

Name you're band after an evil corporation, good job! It's funny because they don't want people to know about Codex (not the band) and sure as shit, less comes up now when I search for it because this stupid band shows up 30 times. This band sucks and if you care for you and you're families life you might want to look into the Codex Alimentarius.

[chojuancho]

@Arcknagar1 You've got a problem dude!!!

[pinkdog199]

@Arcknagar1 dude, the name of the band is Radiohead, not Codex. And this band is one of the best i've ever heard (especially when high :D ) so shut the fuck up hating on a band that you're not into just because they have a song with the same name as a corp. that you think is "evil"

sincerely you're mother

[FRUiTxBooTz]

@Arcknagar1 Yea i hate this damn Codex band too...they should listen to a real band like Radiohead or something ;) BWAHAHAHAHA. U crack me up.

[Boxrag]

@Arcknagar1 LOL if you believe in the Codex Alimentarius, you might want to go back to 2nd grade.
