Radiohead - Knives Out

[9988Anthony]

This song to me seems like it's about a game of cat and mouse in a relationship.. The girlfriend is the cat always attacking the mouse (Thom Yorke).

[jimmybgreat]

@ BillyChangAndWoodi

It's one of my faves too

I don't think it's directly about cannibalism. To me it uses a cat & mouse metaphor that leads two two conclusions. One is human cannibalism, just for the disturbing theme and mood, and one is a interrelationship consuming destruction.

[kradim]

the first two notes of this song and paranoid android are the same

[MrMucas]

All the so-called music lovers, who just want "everyone to stop arguing and just enjoy the music," must stop inculcating their assumption that "all music is equal" to the unwitting majority. It simply is not. Music criticism begins with this realization. Eventually, we must be able to say that Coldplay is better than Radiohead or Radiohead better than Coldplay. When we just throw up our hands before the idol of our "enjoyment", we all lose.

[9988Anthony]

@MrMucas here's the difference.. Coldplay writes music for the radio. Radiohead writes music for the music.

[MrGiank74]

bell..tropp bell.

[halifuckinfan]

ONE take....this WHOLE VIDEO......ONE TAKE!

[WickedLiquid]

This is one of their best videos. I know Radiohead don't like it which is a shame. I know this isn't a love song but it's awesome how the whole thing is done in one shot.

[pansysushi]

finally! it's over 1000000 views

[weLOVE2trip]

I always associate this to the time 6 years ago when I quit my BS corporate job. I bought this album around that time. And now life couldnt be better ( :

[katenzcool]

Awesome and freaky, perfect video!

All hail Radiohead.

[danielstuelpnagel]

im soo glad i have a subwoofer to hear this song..perfect bass

[baggagehandlers]

Oh Michel Gondry and radiohead. almost too much genius for 4 minutes to contain.

[SupernalOne]

Hey, that looks a lot like my HMO -

[hankjonesproject]

What in the hell...?

[levnest15]

depressing

[ZaelNur]

Fucking geniouses.

You can't hate english people having the musciians they have.

[SuperiFox]

my mind was blown. you can find chunks of it behind me.

[LantaGem]

IMHO, this video is VERY reminiscent of Tom Petty's clip for "Don't Come Around Here No More" - like an Alice in Wonderland-ish nightmare.

[LantaGem]

IMHO, this video is VERY reminiscent of Tom Petty's clip for "Don't Come Around Here No More" - like an Alice in Wonderland-ish nightmare.

[Aqlaneoy]

don't come backkkkkkkkkkkkkk (8)

[tmprogram]

sooo depressing :((( but very talented musicians though

[jirdimaster]

@tmprogram That's what makes it so great, happy music is always inferior, genius and depression are very closely linked

[tmprogram]

@jirdimaster not to everyone but either way theyre talented

[SupernalOne]

@jirdimaster

not sure about that - genius and mental disturbance, i.e., bipolar disorder, and often linked, not usually depression -- and it could be argued that it's a given that athe world is ultimately depressing since we all die eventually; so anyone who writes happy music is only trying to enjoy the time he has left, and to encourage others to feel the same. Why not dance while we can? Nothing changes but our experience of life, but that's enough -

spaceghost cutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcut

[whoispink]

This video is awesome. It gets so crazy very early and you think " this can't get any weirder" But it does !!! and it gets weirder and weirder until it ends.

[StaCruzLive]

Really awesome!! like others Radiohead songs

[Cleancutchaos]

What do you get when you team up the most creative musical talent in the world with the most creative visual talent in the world? the best @#&^%$ video EVER! Radiohead and Gondry are the shite.

[daniide0z]

buen video!

[izanamineira]

ssss

[drjay473]

genius right here

[hellcat9]

i aint trying to dis him or nuttin but you think like michel gondray is gay or bi or somethin cause he uses a lot of gay stuff like hearts and skletons. lol

[dangeroftime]

This is my favourite song period. I always liked Radiohead, and when I bought Amnesiac a few months ago, this song really stood out to me. It is so melodic.

[BillyChangAndWoodi]

one of my favorites.

this song is about canabalism!

[6KaMaL6]

@BillyChangAndWoodi HAIL CANABALISM!

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

@BillyChangAndWoodi I ate my neighboor's son to stay alive during a blizzard in 2001. 9 years later and I still have nightmares about it.

[troila]

es un video dificil de entender , bueno estos video te hacen transportarte a un mundo ficticio , un mundo ideal , en pocas palabras es como un sueño , pasan cosas que no tienen explicacion , pasan cosas absurdas ,

[1oneeyeAnomaly]

My Favorite Video of Radiohead's

The Street Spirit Vid is great too

[bluespaceships00]

this song has deeper meaning then ordinarypeople see

[LordOfTheSmishlings]

@bluespaceships00 most radiohead songs do

[Gigsixstrings]

Why so snobbish? you`re extra-ordinary or what? ;)

[m2rit2]

je m'électrocute

[kimdracula82]

on 2:30s reminds me of me and my ex fighting all the time lol

[Mychildrenburn5263]

@kimdracula82 i'd hope not!!! lol

[dulcamara19]

awesome

[Trancemaster2052]

Haunting.

[theachtungtree]

i looove radiohead....but i hate pitchfork....If Thom Yorke farted into a mic while the other guys just noodled around Pitchfork would call it album of the decade. ...not cool

[acroboomslayer]

sounds like a dirge

[toolcool420]

Great stuff

[xxjesusxxw]

which means the video?? que significa el video?? MUY BUENA LA CANCIÓN! GREAT SONG!

[Zedetnik]

Es una metáfora de lo que le sucedió al director Michel Gondry con una exnovia suya.

La letra de la canción trata acerca de canibalismo (reflejado cuando las personas comen a Yorke en 1:45)

[Uribelbueno]

no se necesita entender el video... solo hay que dejarse llevar por un viaje surreal de la mano de Radiohead y Gondry...

[JawiheaD]

:O esta cancion y video los adorooo !!!!! I love them ! (L) como que me da pena la letra pero por eso mismo es genial :D ! Radiohead lo mejor ! :P

[TheZuikaku]

I cut up my neighbor's son and ate him while playing this song. How appropriate.

[jpgoatley]

pussy

[TheZuikaku]

No he was a son he didn't have a pussy.

[youfailme2116]

hahahahhaahahah

[TheMovingPiano14]

psycho:I

[MrLetdown]

que temazo!

[IDEASOCIALISTA]

great radiohead and great also michel gondry with this videoclip, but the happy doctor's idea is not very original

[SilentBombr]

Haha Coldplay....

.....they really suck.

[jorgeluisvaldez2005]

es lo maximo radiohead exelente grupo

[ghotsmanMX]

Concuerdo contigo ^^

[HereInMySoulkitchen]

Des épines dans mon coeur se mettent a danser à chaque fois que j'écoute cette chanson. Terriblement douloureux. Et pourtant j'arrive pas à m'en passer.

[HereInMySoulkitchen]

* à danser chaque fois que

[chocolatetreehouse]

fuck coldplay bitch

[livehighjive]

fuck coldplay indeed fucking fuck coldplay h8 Chris Martin

[RoboJesus2009]

It means just because Coldplay is famous doesn't mean theyre good. Or something like that I dont remember.

[NameERF91]

holly shit what a masterpiece. this video is superbe

[MagnumVFD]

I like Radiohead

I like Muse.

So?

[livehighjive]

Well we like Muse

We LOVE Radiohead.

[dougsrccom]

Genius !!

[prissterraccina]

esto me recuerda mucho a mi

[gaara924]

there videos are so bizarre...as if they are inspired by drugs....but they aren't. they are inspired by their minds.....like me...thats why i love Radiohead so much.

[MrCrazyAsshole]

They ARE fucking drugged up especailly tom. wtf are you talking about???

[Bananaman2nd]

Not all abstract art is drug fueled you know

[Troy211619]

you guys are losers, cant accept music for what it is, why cant you just like Radiohead without destroying other people trying to make names for themselves, I'd like to see you,OlympiaOverdrive and live highjive to make good music before you start bashing on other musicians..I'm out of here, and one last thing to say to you livehighjive, you are a fucking Malaysian fag and everybody thinks you are a loser, so try to make something of yourself..

[dougsrccom]

First time I heard this on the radio, I was completely mesmorized!!! Haunting !

[Troy211619]

and if Muse did copy Radiohead, how come thousands of people gather in large arenas/stadiums to watch Muse Live??

[livehighjive]

@Troy211619 uhm Maybe because they like Muse??? Are you that stupid?

[OlympiaOverdrive]

Just shut the fuck up. Stop digging the damn hole, you've lost the argument.

Did you honestly think you'd win an argument coming to a Radiohead video and posting shit?

[Troy211619]

I'm not posting shit, I'm posting facts...

Muse didnt copy Radiohead(try listening to Hysteria or Plug In Baby), and Muse is the Best Live Band of our generation, and I said these things the kindest way i could but some cockmouth named livehighjive had to put his gay ass in and argue..

[OlympiaOverdrive]

How does saying that Muse are the 'Best Live Band of our generation' prove that they didn't copy Radiohead?

Just gtfo and take your Muse comments elewhere. If you're not aware, this is a Radiohead video.

[livehighjive]

lol thumbs up....Radiohead rules.

[Troy211619]

I'm not stupid, you are because you think Muse copied Radiohead, there is a big difference between the two, just shut up because your words lead you nowhere you stupid piece of shit..

[Troy211619]

Oh, livehighjive, i saw your profile and read your comments before I realized, what a piece of shit you really are.. I dont think you are worthy to even argue with me, go suck some cock instead..

[livehighjive]

Lmao Troy did my comments disturb you THAT much that you needed to stalk me for a bit? And pray tell what did you gather from my profile that makes me so undeserving of your generous mentally challenged banter? I don't know how cock comes into the equation but if you must know I'm more of a receiver of blowjobs than a giver. Tell me Troy are you a giver, you seem like a giver.

[Troy211619]

haha, are you retarded? you dont understand simple english.. and yes i am a giver, giver to the women i meet, and i know you are a receiver..of cock in your mouth.....

[livehighjive]

@Troy211619 First of all which part of your English didn't I seem to understand? Secondly I don't think it's been women that you've been meeting since you're giving them blowjobs. And Crocker is hot....whts not to like?

[Troy211619]

fag..

[livehighjive]

yea so?

[Troy211619]

you are even subscribed to chris crocker! i knew you like sucking cock, dont be ashamed..haha!

[ladyrosagante]

love this song

[ZachDanielKevin]

i think its hilarious how in EVERY SINGLE radiohead or muse video there's always a fight about who copied who or who's better. Who cares really? theyre both amazing, i wish every band copied radiohead or muse, music would be much better

[livehighjive]

There's usually an argument because some idiot says they're both amazing. You haven't reached musical maturity yet if you can't tell Radiohead's superiority from Muse. And yeah Muse copied Radiohead.

[ZachDanielKevin]

alright cool

[Troy211619]

read the description before being a know-it-all, knives out means that they will start eating, get it??

[buffenbison]

god like

[atimetowork]

what does it mean "knives out"?

[ParticleFarticle]

It means that God is mad at you for masturbating so much.

Stop masturbating so much.

You masturbate too much.

[stoptalking1090]

Ha!

0:18

I would totally by that Thom Yorke Elephant Picture!

[La1Chop]

hahaha me too xDD

and the mouse-mic ! :B <3

[tipsyames]

wow these guys are copying muse harcore.... and doing a horrible job of it tooo =/

[KaosMasterX]

Protip: Radiohead started in 1992 ; muse started in 1992 as well but didnt become famous until 1998. Therefore; you are wrong. now gtfo. Also; radiohead > muse.

[degree7]

@KaosMasterX

Radiohead actually started in 1985, but didn't become famous until 1992.

Muse started in 1996 and became famous by 1998.

[thegreentree11]

muse is copying radiohead you fucking idiot. listen to ok computer and your thoughts will change

[tipsyames]

lmao, you know everyone says that but i don't see any resemblance between the two bands. i just said that to piece people off :) but i mean the only true good album radiohead made is in rainbows, all the other albums only have a few good songs

[GasaArrasa]

OMG! OK Computer maybe the best album EVER!

[thegreentree11]

thats not true. every song on ok computer is incrediable. listen to it the full way through without doing anything else. it\ll blow your mind away.

[tipsyames]

yeah ok computer is a really good album ur right... still nothing on this planet beats in rainbows

[superogbiggjc]

how is it possible for you to have shit for brains? and literally at the same time don't know shit! ironic don't you think!!

[ZachDanielKevin]

@tipsyames have you heard all of ok computer? in rainbows is my favorite album but i think ok computer is really good too

[Troy211619]

no one is copying anyone you fucking idiot, just because bellamy can reach high notes like Yorke doesnt make Muse copiers. Listen to Absolution and The Resistance before you FUCKING tell us that Muse copied Radiohead you Fucking Idiot!

[livehighjive]

bTW, The Resistance is the worst album Muse has released.And they did copy radiohead.And they are not doing a very god job at it.

[Troy211619]

@livehighjive No, give me one fucking song where that would prove Muse copied Radiohead..

[livehighjive]

I could pretty much just copy and paste everything Muse has ever done.

[optimisticcosmic]

ur an idiot

[livehighjive]

wht a stupid fucker muse is way suckier than Radioehead

[eddykingfour]

Hey. Hey you.

Fuck you.

They're both equally good.

[livehighjive]

Muse is good. Radiohead doubleplusgood!

[Troy211619]

no, they are equally good at what they do so shut up..

[livehighjive]

Muse is decent but they are nowhere near as good as Radiohead and I think it's pretty obvious Muse is greatly influenced by Radiohead.

[02pete]

My faveroute RH song because its just the best , i love the contrast between the fast paced drums sequence mixed with thoms slow paced singing

and ofc the delightful guitair piece without mentioning the AMAZING solo towards the end ^_^

[HighSpeedWeLive]

Emma de Caunes es hermosa...

¿Para que hablar de Radiohead si ya sabemos que es una de las mejores bandas de musica contemporanea? Ndaa mas que decir. Punto. jaja

[emoxmasochist]

i feel like im nothing

[debbieallen2]

Bcus?

[amalmalom]

you r not nothing. u r just lonely or sad or something. we r all important, we r all unimportant . life isnot an easy thing for anyone.

hope you r feeling better today. i will think of you.

love from modiin.

[emoxmasochist]

how i feel good now by seeing your care about me. aww thanks. i feel a little bit deep inside, for a few weeks there is something so complicated and sick.Its love.Made me feel so lonely and unimportant.This is the song that "we" listen time to time.Thanks a lot. Loves from Turkey.

[amalmalom]

It is allways love...

Sorry to b one-sided, but love does come and go, but your life is bigger than this. And belive me, please - even the pain makes you smarter ang stronger.

you welcome.

and by the way, modiin is a town in Israel. Love from here. Don't give up.

amalia

[shaggisvideos]

Radiohead isnt like Nirvana, only Creep . And bot voices are diferents

Radiohead no es como nirvana, solamente Creep tiene un aire a Nirvana,

pero las voces son distintas

[imdeceptacon]

just in case anyone was curious to the meanings of the lyrics, they refer to a particular incident in which a plane crashed into a snowy mountainside and the survivors were stranded and were forced to resort to cannibalism to survive.

thom yorke is a genius

[cosmicshame36]

what?...i dont think thats the correct symbolism...its all based on the videos director, Michel Gondry's, experience when he had a sick gf..who had cancer i believe..and all about his time with her the in hospital..look it up, im pretty sure thats the correct meaning behind the symbolism in the vid.. also, yes, thom AND michel and both..fucking genius!..i LOVE this video

[cesarepavese08]

radiohead y M. grondy igual obra maestrisima...

[tiamatefalco2]

i love that song more than most that have passed through these ears.

[Lanskeee]

i think the clip is kind of scary...

[soyunpreditor50]

This video really must have been a logistical nightmare to plan, but then looking at his other work Gondry always was a powerful dreamer. :-)

[akanathan]

Michel Gondry is awesome......Radiohead is awesome.....

Fucking Awesome music video.

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

yeah michel gondry is my favourite music video director ever and radiohead are my favourite band so when they collaborate its awesomeness

[syd15claire22]

These guys float underneath the underbelly of mainstream music and therefore are more creative artisically and have they ability to continually push the envelope, while U2 and Coldplay suffer from being over played and handcuffed by the mainstream public..too bad. Good on ya Tom Yorke!

[Yypah]

DANG IT. I've been searching, and searching, and searching endlessly for this song. I remember watching the video late at night ages ago, and I knew it was by Radio Head and I knew the video consisted of that docter's game that I don't know the name of, but I could never figure out the song. NOW I DID. I'VE REACH ULTIMATE HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW.

[chocomog35]

Welcome to Radiohead Nirvana, my friend ^.^

[lonchoo]

demaciado buena la cancion

[zebrahead32]

this video was done in one take,pretty amazing

[lowlockunknown]

It's cool that not everyone "gets" Radiohead. I'm a huge Joy Division fan, same thing in a way. Radiohead is great.

[ZzlundagardZz]

radiohead ÚNICA BANDA!

[michael122755]

The Greatest Band ..hands down!!

[punishr41]

one of the greatest bands in the history of the world wouldnt you agree?

[Zedetnik]

THE BEST, my friend.

[ender2999]

I can only think of one better, but that's just subject to my taste. Love Radiohead!

[michael122755]

YES!!!!!

[TheLoveMaker232]

OF Course

[sandiablo20]

severo tema que chimba de banda

[stormyandcold]

Great song and amazing video! +100

[apollostar023]

Michel gondry es un gran genio creativo y radiohead es una de las mejores bandas que se podia esperar solo un buen resultado para gusto de todos.

[ZzlundagardZz]

no hay dudas son los seres q conosco...

[standarz]

first at all, how mach stupid we are ?=?? sure so much,

hey! thisiis the best at al

but ....... the real thng is that ------------ wtf is this. s jewlery

[middlenamedrae]

[Lisbon1906]

I WANT RADIOHEAD IN PORTUGAL NOW!!!!!

[frenchsk8]

Michel Gondry <3

[thefiregazers]

Amazing Radiohead's song and video. The best song from 2001's "Amnesiac".

Cheers from London,

The Firegazers

Note. Visit our channel, enjoy our songs and videos.

[jaharris8908]

I agree it's amazing and one of the best from amnesiac however i think pyramid song and life in a glass house are a little better

[777setsuna]

Amaing

[RossNieuwenhuizen]

The Doctor who arrives at 00:35 is actually Thom's Uncle. So cool.

[rxdioEdU]

es especatcular la musica, la onda de la banda, el video , es algo metaforico pero grandioso!

[ferezt]

Gran tema, me gusta la música, la letra es profunda, convencedora, dan ganas de cantarla y moverse al ritmo. No me parece melancólica sino emprendedora.

Tiene muchas cosas como no tiene ninguna banda mas. Por qué no sería mi única favorita?

[ceridawn]

thats like a bad dream...

[crixox]

best radiohead vid ever

[roseflutur09]

The girl in the bathroom at 1:19 is actually Thom's wife.

[ky3r0z]

Thom isn't even married...

[BurningUp99]

I'm pretty sure Radiohead wanted it to look like that sparkonetwo. If they wanted it to look like a movie trailer or something they could of easily.

[Sparkonetwo]

For a featured video this is pretty shitty quality.

[Zedetnik]

Yes, it is, but the sound quality is better than the others.

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

Michel Gondry is a freakin' genius! And so is Radiohead!

[zxyaa22]

love gondry, love radiohead..

perfect video

[derris]

TOTALLY agree with you

[infrafan]

Thanks for putting up the actress' name. She is just stunning and I've wanted to know who she was for the longest now.

[DesiPR]

This video is a trip :)

[frostinad]

I get it but they are capable of more. Song doesn't fit. Sorry
