Thom Yorke Solo NEW SONG - The Present Tense (debut at Latitude Festival, UK, 19 July 2009)

[sudjorge1]

Thom is no god.... God doesn´t make me feel this way

[sudjorge1]

Thom is no god. God doesn´t make me feel this way .....

[jimrhcp95]

pearl jam's "the present tense" is pretty awsome too!

[MarcoMartini81]

I can't wait to listen to a completely arranged Radiohead version of this track!

[withtheirmachines]

my sentiments exactly.

who knows he could be a dick and say yeah me and richard james are workin on 3 albums together that we're not going to release or even listen to a second time...just to do it.

id cry.

so i just appreciate.i consider thom an artist that makes his music for himself and people just happen to be in love with it.

[NaziJesus]

that would be a really funky sound!

superfreaky!

[YoshiPower65]

I do wish radiohead does not split up

[badblues102]

this side of his inspiration

[badblues102]

everything is happening soo fast in the present stage of the Earth. Bands and groups use to split up in the later days...when they have aged and expanded their minds to a point where it just doesnt matter anymore....but no = thom has already reached the point = where he is contributing

[hjh360]

hey guys, i made a cover of this song but its my first upload to youtube, so could u please tell me how i did? =)

i would appreciate it

[5Esau2]

YeaHH!!!!

suena bien!!

esperemos que el nuevo material de radiohead salga pronto!!

XD

[melhebs]

woww

[oluuis]

awesome!

[fedeparkour]

geniuos

[Zeplygimus]

I just blew a load into my own face like a shotgun.

[ItsMeNay]

he wrote this for New moon didnt he, or is that just a rumour

[ponchito147]

I don't think this is for the New moon, movie, but hes going to make one.

I hate Twilight (so fucking gay), but if Thom York writes a song for that shit movie, it is going to be a good song.

It is the only reason why I'm going to watch New moon .

[ItsMeNay]

LOL! it will deffo be a good song!

[mickykiiatein]

i thought it was 15 step that was goin to be on twilight, i wouldnt put anythin on it if i was him, muse seem to have weirder fans after they put supermassive black hole on the 1st one

[ponchito147]

Actually 15 Step was on the first one, at the credits.

[wufuhimself]

13 year old girls who love twilight, yep.

[Computerdisplay]

he did write a song for new moon, but not something that radiohead or even thom fans are very proud of.....(at least the ones with some taste when it comes to movies) but, the truth is that ill listen to anything written by him, no matter if its a fucking cocacola tv comercial.

[doitinasubmarine]

the day Thom Yorke writes for a Coke commercial is the day I stick a gun in my mouth.

[withtheirmachines]

hearing damage is a great song...just because peoples "idols" do something like put a song on the soundtrack of majorly hyped cockbuster doesnt mean the end of the world.

his music fits a scanner darkly more than new moon sure, but thom isnt stupid.he knows money is money is money and hell,broader audience doesnt hurt.

i dont know why imsaying this to you..maybe because you made sense

i dont think coke would want him as a spokeperson because he would probably say "Drink Coke....And Choke."

[Computerdisplay]

yay, well now ive been thinking about it...i don't really mind as a fan that he does what he is doing...for whatever reason he is doing it, if its for audience, it would be immature feeling insulted by the fact that lots of teeny girls will like some good bands... well, lets see what happens.

[TheAmishGamer]

He wrote it for the upcoming Police Academy 8, but the producers went with classy acts instead, like Vanilla Ice and Rihanna.

[zatsick140]

Thom=Human. He's no king. You worship someone you don't even know.

[ponchito147]

Hey, nobody knows God...

Thom Yorke is for me, and for a lot of people, a fucking God. (Jonny Greenwood and Matt Bellamy too)

[pierrebezier]

he's the devil

[ponchito147]

yes, thats a possibility

[Bilisnikola]

Don't forget wolstenholme :P

[ponchito147]

Yes, he is good too

[KevArms111]

I fucking agree, the 3 people I most look up to

[kenigmatic]

Actually, I've met him a number of times, and he's a very nice, humble person.

[leonkennedy74]

Wow, I'm not jealous at all! When did you get a chance to meet him?

[fakiyuall]

@kenigmatic yeah~~even i dunno him but i know he is a humble person by looking at his act and i can see he is not a loser even with his situation.

[liamastley]

Dude, kings are human. Unless you're David Icke and think they're all giant lizards

[cokursh]

whyyyyy cant i live in the uk!!!!!

WHYYYYYYYYYYY

there is no good music here

Thom=God

[begily]

very catchy, but nothing special; wouldn't call it exciting in any way.

[djcloudstrife]

yeah i'd say the same. i absolutely love thom yorke. so i cant wait to hear the final product of this song

[Emnor1993]

the first three or four listenings it was the same with me

but then suddenly it became so great that i picked my guitar and played two hours and now i can play it too and use every free second to play cause its so much fun but i still need to learn singing to it

but really give the song a chance

[mathendo]

Tom Wei is the best !

[shadowpuppets69]

damn thom yorke and his melodic voice... another great song

[amaliashine]

Toujours aussi magnifique... j'adooooooooore !!!!

[TheAmishGamer]

In tomorrow's NME, he announces to fans that he now only responds to the name T-Yo.

His family and friends were made to start using the new name back in April, so they had a chance to get used to it before it became public.

[MegaWizard2]

bullshit. Is he serious, or just taking the piss?

[TheAmishGamer]

Sadly, very serious.

His usual Waitrose deliveryman was suspended pending disciplinary action yesterday for using the name Thom rather than T-Yo, after T-Yo phoned the manager and complained.

[znoahmarhoadskill]

so full of shit

[TheAmishGamer]

You are clearly not a Radiohead fan or an NME reader...

[znoahmarhoadskill]

i went and looked it up all over nothing said t-yo anywhere. it did say he was considering a new name for his solo project but not that he had changed it to t-yo. and i'm a huge radiohead fan so don't try to label me.

[TheAmishGamer]

I like Ghostbusters more than you.

[kapikapikapi]

Oh my, I can't calm down now. I can't wait!

[torttiina]

This is better than I could have ever imagined! Beautiful. Wish I'd been there.

[mitchmitchhh]

can't wait to hear the studio version of this

[taniatikaram]

I love this song!!! .

[specialex8]

no so sure about this

[FloatOn1001]

obvious troll is obvious

[aektzis91]

lolol shut up you trollin fuck

[THE0PTIM1ST]

That was so beautiful...it's been awhile since i've heard him sing like that <3

[Vale92]

This reminded me why I love Radiohead.

[musfutmuj]

kinda magic song....

i dont know the actual word in english to

"Cautivador"

es una cancion cautivadora

pretty simple and beautiful

[kenigmatic]

Captivate maybe?

[musfutmuj]

Haha  that´s it, thanks

And thanks for uploading this

Its awesome

[Fatwood07]

@musfutmuj Captivating :-)

[ThePodBear]

Thank you for your abusive comments in reply. Let's get realistic here, although I love Radiohead and Thom Yorke, it's not to say that this is the best audio quality and let's face it the video leaves much to be desired. That's not a slander on the song, I'm sure it's great when recorded through a proper sound device. Feel free to send agressive comments though think about it for a while first.

[catwomanjean]

b-side my ass! bring it thom!!!

[Thowen89]

Begins a bit like Weird Fishes. Beautiful! And such an honor that he played it at my birthday:-)

[animatercreator]

Yeah, it's like a mix between Weird Fishes and Pyramid Song.

[TheAmishGamer]

I maked a pyramid out of fish once.

[adelicatebalance]

He belts out his range of vocals nicely in this new track. I love it.

[jjdonaldson1]

so good

[dlfunky1]

nice should be a b-side though maybe?

[thetwentyfourth]

Keep listening.

[useless987]

nice!!!

[MisterLoveFox]

i enjoyed this

[banapaulo]

Nice but he's treading over old ground, which he seems to do less with Radiohead. The guitar here could be from any number of their songs.

[poppybottle]

I knew one of the songs would end up on youtube !

Saw this live, it was really good but I couldn't see very well even though I was right up near the front!

x

[sandham]

His voice is back to its best!.

the crowd are stone silent! beautiful!

[noname1209]

Get fucked.

[KyostiG]

wow his singing is great, the notes he reaches at around 3:36...wow

[joesurl]

i was at the front then as i was ill i rushed off to the back :( really annoyed.

but i heard this and its nice :)

[MisterLoveFox]

Some kid right at the front in front of me ran off ill as well. Must be a Thom Yorke phenomenon.

[xxXghislainXxx]

not bad

pretty chillin' ;-)

worth watching

[ReflectedFlicks]

Distance/ Distance/ It's like a weapon/ like a weapon/ self-defense/ self-defence/ against the present/ against the(?)/ present tense/ I won't get heavy/ don't get heavy/ keep it light/ keep it moving/ I am doing no more/ and my world comes crashing down/ I am dancing/ freaking out/ (?)/ In you I'm lost/ In you I'm lost/ I won't turn around when the penny drops/ I won't stop now/ I won't slack off/ I always go (?)/ oooo/ stop from falling into my (?)/ it always goes (?)/ oooo/ In you I'm lost/

[MrPaulvogel]

It's THIS DANCE not distance

[ReflectedFlicks]

thanx :) if u know what he's say in the ? parts I'd appreciate it

[ReflectedFlicks]

Could U pretty pretty please convert this to an .mp3 for the world to download and enjoy to their heart's content?

I L-O-V-E this damn song, I want to hear it always.

[Schulz372]

I can't believe how awesome it is :) can't wait for a new Thom Yorke/RH album. hope it will be soon :) thank you for uploading!

[TheStrossus]

[MicahBuzan]

his voice sounds amazing

[belle077]

Thank you so much for posting!

[TheWilliamk]

awesome i cant wait for them to release a new album. super collider is good too

[chazybrewster]

I'm so glad someone posted this; I was worried wouldn't be able to see it since it's only being broadcast in England-

[emdancr5678]

3:30 <3

[lssrider]

this just makes me way to impatient for a new album!

[thatispurefantasy]

Thom is a genius!!!!!!

[ConejoThomas]

I won't turn around while the planet drops

I won't stop now

I won't slack off

or all this love

will be in vain

Señor Yorke, ha vuelto usted a crear una maravilla.

[taniatikaram]

I like the song!! .... :).. wow!! it's great to hear a new song :) .. I want a new album!

Thank you for uploading this!

[johnsugar1]

arpeggi was played on acousitc?

[paranoidandroid1997]

thank you,  great song,

[thetwentyfourth]

This song reminds me of why I became a fan. Beautiful. Hope it becomes a Radiohead track.

[knuble]

nice little song...but thats one of those which work better in a all studio/band version imo...i like it but i'd really like to listen to it in a more worked out version.

thank you very much for posting, though, hope you had a great time :)

[Uborpriest]

whoa there punk, you call yourself a fan?

[paum31]

Beautiful, perfect ..♥

thanks for  posting this

[krishna830]

I'm freaking out that I'm actually hearing brand new Radiohead (or Thom Yorke?) songs! Bless you kenigmatic from youtube, atease, flickr and wherever else I can thank you from!!

[The3rdMan83]

This song is lovely. I wonder if he'll release a new album. And if he does, I wonder if it'll come out before the next Radiohead one. The very new 'All for the Best' track is ace if you haven't checked it out already. It's a Mark Mulcahy cover. Very different to the Eraser stuff, but just as good. It looks like it won't be long and we'll all be able to get our hands on some fresh Radiohead releases. I can't wait...

[vikskywalker]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo

[nathan2511]

compared to some gig clips id say this was damn satisfactory quality especially when theres not much else of this performance on the web so thank you muchly kenigmatic

[blackswany]

Thom Yorke is a genius!

[7SnowyNights]

...

If the next album doesn't come out this year...

[JesseKazzz]

Thanks for this, Envy!!

[Verzatille]

[KattenJonsson]

[kudrauk]

Thank you this is brilliant, awesome vocal and I'm loving what I can make out of the lyrics, seems like a love song with the I'm lost in you at the end but with Thom you can never be sure. I really like the "distance is like a weapon" line.

[amnesiach]

[VaselissaFish]

Beautiful

[larissaprim]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us. Radiohead fans are fast!

[kenigmatic]

Well it started raining after Thom, so I decided to head back to London as I was ill-equipped...

And I'd already seen Nick Cave at Glastonbury...heh

[Onepiece22]

F*n Amazing. Thank you!

[jonnyswhore]

Can't find the words! Thank you very much, this is awesome!! ♥

[onafriday6]

[thegloaming09]

This is incredible! Thanks so much for posting this!! Can't wait to hear the full band version of this!

[kenigmatic]

Don't know that there will be a full band version - it's probably saved for his next solo album...

[thegloaming09]

the band soundchecked this song at one of their gigs in mexico, so hopefully it'll be done by them, if not it'll still be awesome!

[TheWhatsername7]

[Rodrodrod6543]
