Harrowdown Hill

[Qwerp55]

20% of the letters in Thom Yorke's name are superfluous.

Also, that is a pretty sexy bassline.

[stephendedalusbc]

Who made this video ? It's just incredible

[Qwerp55]

@stephendedalusbc Video was made by Bent Image Lab and directed by Chel White. The film technique is called smallgantics and was developed by Jim L Clark

[DerJohannesmeister]

Thumbs up if you are here from Know your Meme! :D

[kingnarachana]

I looks like a lot of people are touching the bird

[ThefamousZozo]

I got to admit, i dont really know what this is about, but it looks totally awesome.

[salleder]

I knew this song like 7 years go, in a Hi5 profile of a friend, and since that day my musical taste change totally, therefore this is my favourite song.

[kisstheskyyyy]

holy shit.

[Kuolemankirjoittaja]

also one of the best music video ever saw.

[Kuolemankirjoittaja]

hmmmm slap bass awesome.i don't like radiohead but this sounds good.

[skeelsyT]

RIP DR. KELLY 8 years on and still we allow these things RESIST REJECT BE FREE

[brickhouses9]

Beautiful

[Kletterator]

You will be dispensed with, when you've become inconvenient... and where's the blood? ... We think the same things at the same time... So don't ask me, ask the ministry... there are so many of us so you can't count... they just want me gone... but I'm coming home, I'm coming home, to make it all right.

[DeminCapriez]

This is one of those songs that can make you feel like you're the only person in a full room. I

[aereolus]

The song is about the voice of God... so obviously.

[TubeofDestiny]

all these murders... for a bunch of money, gained from the corruption of the US Administration. Only for a fucking pile of money, not even ideology or something like that.

"huuur duuur I haz millionz I am ze kingz of ze world !" - fucking assholes

David Kelly was worth a few millions dollars I guess.

They could at least give a bit of that money to his wife.

RIP Doc'

[rhodas1980]

the ending awesome... best song all the time.

[YerJob]

we think the same things at the same time

-we just can't do anything about it

[DarkerEyes008]

I started listening to this song in the beginning of the summer, and here I am listening to it towards the end. So many emotions.

[psychoholic25]

this song is sooo calming.....ahhhhhhh....

[ItsDappy]

History will prove what we all suspect happened to Dr. David Kelly.

[TheYoungRetard]

Love the bass <3

[keitaro21]

@TheYoungRetard Flea loves it too ^^

[AzQ22]

3:28 No Surprises anyone?

Btw Awesome song

[undertherainbow100]

Thom will go down in history as someone who used art as a way to try to show the truth - if there is a future generation existant that can look back.

[Zephyr199]

@undertherainbow100 well, he did, but he was not the first person (far from it) nor will he be the last. an easy example is Hurricane by Bob Dylan

[HmND]

Look up Dr. Timothy Hampton. Same Ira, different q.

[MatthewR310]

Does anyone know what movie this song played in. Thats where i first heard it and now i cant think of the movie its driving me crazy! . Anyone??? thanks in advance

[hadjmaster]

martino u said it man

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

Is it me or did Ne-Yo steal the beginning of this song? Twat.

[littledovepl]

kozak nuta

[martino00001]

yorke is wounded by the world

[ahpledmot]

@martino00001 wow thats unheard of..

[sorengz]

@martino00001 Thanks for that comment. Yeah, he is (I think). It amazes me - how those who are wounded by the world in some sense turn out the healthiest, while those who appear to be unhurt by the world, in some way seem ... wounded. Art!

[martino00001]

@sorengz

merci. what you say is real. :)

[psychoke27]

flea's funky bass is immortal

[mlsgearon]

Ummm..... This isn't Flea. The Eraser was a solo album.

[MercenarySlick]

Flea didn't write this bass line, he only played it live during concerts.

[TheSuperjesusbbq]

Oh yeah?!? This is so nice!

[andrewjcmillar]

@psychoke27

flea didnt play on the album

only after thom formed atoms for peace

[LionsLair8000]

Thom Yorke is a genius and a very very brave man for making this song.  I sure as hell could not make/release anything like this, unless it was really subliminal where I could deny its meaning without ruffling feathers. But then again at this point if the government tries killing him or hurting him in some way, they'd be outted as the villains that they are, and this would become the truth.

[fuckforever35]

LOL. Unless you're chinese, goverments allow you to write music about whatever the hell you like, as long as you're not singing national secrets. XD

[Roatera]

He said its his most important song that he's ever made.

[gurodoll]

There was not enough blood at the location to justify the belief that he died from blood loss.

. . .they saw a small amount of blood on plants near Kelly's body and a patch of blood the size of a coin on his trousers. They said they would expect to find several pints of blood at the scene of a suicide involving an arterial cut.

On 15 Oct 07, it was discovered, through a Freedom of Information request, that the knife with which Kelly allegedly committed suicide had no fingerprints on it.

[gurodoll]

They just want me gone, they want me gone :(

David Christopher Kelly, 14 May 1944 - 17 July 2003.

One day Justice will be served, But until then, Blair's Cheshire grin and Brown's snide sneer will only make make me think of your needless death. Gone, but not forgotten.

[Elliemental10]

Couldn't agree more.

[Swamoez0rs]

Fantastic track. Thank you!

[dingodoodles]

* Wishing Thom would make another solo album.

[AcebeatGroup]

bassline is so much fun to play. This song is awesome

[KaliYugaForKiX]

no one says boo to the military industrial complex

[TheBundyboy66]

Fabulous track. I bet the murder of Dr Kelly won't be exposed in the current Iraq Inquiry.

[jackwills101]

spread the word Dr Kelly was murdered!

[farnishk]

Of course it was murder - he was possibly the one last obstacle preventing war. The trillions to be spent of weapons and "reconstruction" were in jeopardy.

[doublem111]

Yep, bumped off by the government.

[undertherainbow100]

@jackwills101

yes but much as i love bob, i cant see thom doing any starbucks adverts...

[mutedisease]

Me gusta mas esto que lo que ha hecho ultimamente con Radiohead.

[rihe666]

esta rolita esta chingonsisima...

[5Esau2]

Pfff.... asombroso video

con una asombroza musica!!

3:30

mi parte favorita se ve magnifico Thom en el agua!!!

genial!!

XD

[withnielandi]

Song and promo of the last ten years if you ask me. Good album too

[KimmoPalanda]

Silent Violence.

[DaIrishGuy]

we can do something thom, ask questions speak up and when 1 voice becomes a million we have an army STOP THE ILLEGAL WARS

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

Stop American and Nato occupation in the Middle East and all around the world! We can uphold international law if we try.

[DookNun]

Time and time again it's been shown that the people have no control. Stop wasting your fucking time. Nothing will change.

[DaIrishGuy]

@DookNun we stopped a war in my country because it was what we, the people, wanted. i just think we have forgotten we have power.

[DookNun]

what country's that good sir?

[LeagueOfMars]

yeah bro things have been the same for all of human existence. nothing has ever or will ever change. hurf durf hurf durf im jaded n cynical brb sippin bad coffee

[kovalot]

appearantly thom yorke, flea (rhcp), and radiohead producer Nigel Godrich to collaborate LIVE performing tracks from the album ERASER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[TheFremen087]

I heard about that from yorke on facebook hehe

[Goosemyberry]

good shit.

[THESWINES]

fucking tune! thom yorke can do no wrong, the man's a genius

[flv89]

amazing song,i love it!:)

Thom is perfect!

[radioivan18]

3:27 4:13 ok, thats what i call fucking cool¡¡

[Everfalling]

if anyone is curious where the stop-motion eagle animation is from it's from David Russo's 2003 film Pan with Us.

[afropoweri]

i love this songgggg

[Angelus888]

Bjork already do this!

i can't see any innovation

[fragglesnaggler]

so fricken evil what happened to Dr David Kelly, the poor fella tried to tell the truth about Iraq having no trace of WMD's,and the pressure they were putting on him to tell lies,and ended up being professionally destroyed for it,for trying to do the right+honest thing. The people that ruined him fucking knew that he'd probably kill himself,thats if the war machine didnt do it for him?

Another innocent victim in the bogus war on terror.

[mfgzh2000]

speachless, but touched.

Very much.

[Monada3]

the beginning is perfect

[Monada3]

keep in touch

i love this video motion

[barbara08894]

one of the best thom yorke songs..... love it! AAAAAAHHHHHHH

[shaunski141]

This video is using Tilt-Shift photography. It is used to make real objects look fake or miniature.

[daf867]

thas cool is it hard to do?

[daf867]

its expensive jezzus

[jarvizcocker]

this vid feels very artschool

love the song though

[AustinBrock]

Add "yt:crop=16:9" as a tag to make it fit to the 16:9 player :)

[withnielandi]

I love the album, its a album that sums up the past 10 years. The stand out tracks are the eraser, the clock, black swan, harrowdown hill and the last track. A real album of its time

[wheresgeorge1025]

The guitar reminds me a lot of "A Question Mark" by Elliott Smith

[tayvincible]

awesome. such a great song and video.

keep being awesome, thom!!

[ErniePi]

this is an individual story about the torment of one man. One man's suicide does not equate to worldwide conspiracy on 9/11

[slayermn73]

ErniePI you are still asleep about 9/11 it is ok!!!! one day I hope you will awake to see that Dr Kelly was one of many who were murdered to protect the Iraq war liesand that it was all tied in together the Iraq War -9/11... there was non suicide Ernie just Murder

[degree7]

9/11 wasn't an inside job. You weren't even there, so how would you know?

[slayermn73]

WTC # 7 is all the proof I need ???

[KwasiWatson]

lol....you can't pull down a building with cables...The term "pulled" implies controlled demolition..

[degree7]

Whoops, got my facts wrong. Sorry. They pullled WTC 6 away from WTC 7 before it collapsed.

[KwasiWatson]

lol once again...they didn't pull WTC 6 away from WTC 7 before it collapsed...They used controlled demolition (DYNAMITE) to bring down buildings in the World Trade Center Plaza..The reason why people are saying its a conspiracy is because at the EXACT time of the "Terrorist Attack"  the owner of WTC Plaza blows up a building with dynamite

[WillBraden]

god, people can ignore almost ANY semblance of reality, logic and facts if they want to convince themselves of something. PPD is a powerful thing.

[4tz]

it was a slippery slippery slippery slope

it was a slippery slippery slippery slope

[slayermn73]

I love this song and I feel so angry and powerless 9/11 was a inside job no doubt

[ErniePi]

listening to an emotive song makes you say foolish things, like you have just demonstrated

[mynameizmud]

David Kelly Was Writing Book When He Was Murdered

Daily Express

July 7, 2009

Weapons inspector David Kelly was writing a book exposing highly damaging government secrets before his ­mysterious death.

He was intending to reveal that he warned Prime Minister Tony Blair there were no weapons of mass destruction anywhere in Iraq weeks before the ­British and American invasion.

[krugger911]

Brilliant, truly Brilliant. Thom Yorke, you are something special, your music is amazing.

Keep it up, Hats off to you.

[slayermn73]

9/11 was a inside job and I feel so angry and all this endless war for opil makes me sick what a F'n joke this world is

[jackwills101]

war for oil, o dear you really haven't understood why they've attcked Iraq have you?

[featheredmusic]

fucking amazing!

[peperepepepe]

Que temazo!!! como siempre con la música de Rediohead o Thom Yorke... a más veces se escucha más alucinante es!!

[tonyhawksacriminal]

this song makes you think, who controls us, and to look further into corruption of government and social order.its about a person who got assasinated on harrowdown hill for leaking information. i love how the intro starts in sublime nature then turns slowly into a "devoloped" city with pollution and chaos.anyone who thinks that life is just great the way it is then good4 you, but for those who want some insight into how fuckd up the world is i recomend watching zeitgiest and the war on democracy

[jackwills101]

"don't ask me ask the ministry"

[Tom64]

If you truly want insight on these ideas of truth, I'd recommend picking up some philosophy books instead.

[tyeman521]

def agree

[japajajapaja]

perfect...love it

[ms21020]

Amazing song!

[eliaqua19]

3:26 :) loveeeee Mr. Yorke

[CherryDropsMoi]

(Continued!) Maybe I just got the songs confused, but I swore I'd heard it before... I can't find anything on the net, so it was either a hardly-known film or I'm wrong!

[CherryDropsMoi]

I was wondering if anyone could help me, because this has been annoying me for half a year now! I'm pretty sure this song was used during the credits on a film, as when I got the album I knew I had heard it before & I could picture it playing during them, yet I don't have a clue what the film was! I know 'Black Swan' was used on A Scanner Darkly & 'Analyse' on The Prestige, but I can't seem to find anything about this.

[notyourhomeboy]

the tilt shift is amazing

[TheMindbearer]

The idea with hands holding bird is amazing...

[StereotypicalGeek129]

Cool guitar near the end

[Andeyedrift]

One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard and the video is very moving.

[tusspot666]

Thom's a sexy ginger.

[Megadeth6]

hahaaaaaaaaa! XD

[beerytom]

Wicked song

[1nrainbows]

If any of you believe it was suicide, fuck off temporarily and look into the death of David Kelly a bit more. If you search deeply, you will find evidence that you could not possibly oppose that the British government did, in fact, murder him.

[Qenner]

idd

[AliPGee]

Actually I don't really get the music video at all.. I know what the song is about but.. can someone please explain the video??

[Qenner]

its about 'suicide' of David Kelly.

[AliPGee]

can someone please tell me the relevence of the eagle or whatever bird it is.. and why people are trying to grab it..

it's probably really obvious but I just can't think..

[Chugmazore]

I am pretty sure they are in fact adding to the bird, so building it up.

[Everfalling]

not sure the significance of the eagle in this video but the footage of the stop-motion animation of it is actually from a separate film by David Russo called Pan with Us made in 2003.

[MxLts100]

great song

the format for the song kind of reminds me of "I might be wrong" but i might be wrong (-:

[Sylverguy]

lol! =p

[adiohead]

a man murdered by the british government

one of many

[Elise232323]

this song has a beautiful mysterious vibe....thom yorke is incredible and his album the eraser is amazing...what a talented man......well if your reading this , hopefully your cool and listen to good music- like this....so i guess there is hope for humanity?????

[elotearacnido666]

para mi gusto thom yorke es un genio de la musica es fantastico tener a radiohead en mexico

[eaefeyinighs]

This song and video is amazing.

[sarahmcconnell1018]

Tilt shift!

[Chitty923]

....fake tilt shift.

But amazingly well done!

[megaponchogdl]

what is the song about?

'cause i understand that is againts the war and how people figths vs goberment using the same feeling.

beautiful song!

saludos desde mexico.

[sfyke]

google david kelly

[Megadeth6]

Its about David Kelly. David Kelly was a weapons expert and was under a lot of stress under dropping bombs on Iraq and Afghanistan and killing their innocent civilians. He is now dead and this song is about him and how he might of killed himself because of the stress. "Don't ask me, ask the ministry"

[megaponchogdl]

he suicides himself? he felt guilty about it or what?

he was a murder?

[chicco2000]

peace for all the events naked this song..from italy my sounds agrees!

[artgeek707]

I think it's interesting how we see all the events from the Eagle's point of view, removed and apathetic. At first I didn't like this video, but now I think it's really well put together.

[converseandcrayons]

i like how the wide land scape shots were all through the technique of miniature faking.

and at that one part when the guy got trampled by the horses. woah. lost for words. that's horrible

[simplekaty]

Yeah seriously! It has some filter on it but that doesn't dampen the impact at all.

And the miniatures are great. I don't quite understand how they managed to make some of the real footage look like miniatures too...

[simplekaty]

oh wait. looking up 'tilt-shift miniature faking' on wikipedia gave me the answer. Crazyness!

p.s: in my previous post, the first comment is regarding the horse-trampled man

[psychoholic25]

retards.....

[ltrutherUNBLOCKED]

Israeli minister Binyamin Netanyahu was i London that morning. It was reported in a Israeli paper that he got prior warning which he later denied.

Verint- the company whose cameras 'failed' on 7/7 was a Israeli Mossad front company.

It was a mossad job just like 9/11

[ltrutherUNBLOCKED]

Dr. Kelly was murdered by the Israel Mossad.

They also carried out the false flag attacks of 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Bali and many so-called sectarian attacks in Iraq.

[OhNoItsGojira]

Shocking. Horrific. Abhorrent. Scandalous. Your comment is all of these.

Keep it up.

[earnshaw24]

Blame it on the jews...

I'd like to defend your comments, but I can't.

If you really think David Kelly was murdered by Mossad then your confusing yourself.

[OhNoItsGojira]

Oh, I don't.

[earnshaw24]

I'm sorry I meant to reply to the GENIUS above you :)

[OhNoItsGojira]

Haha. Glad my sarcastic skepticism didn't go unattended.

[NJlo]

Let's just... Blaaaame Caaanadaaaaaaa!

[psychoholic25]

yeah..beautiful song.this and analyse are wonderful songs.of course the whole album is but those 2 stick out to me.

[Wereturtle]

This video floored me the first time I saw it and the effect a year later is more intense if anything!

Absolutely awesome :)

[EolScofield]

This song is incredible, i can't explain my feeling, listening it <3

[tmeff9747]

Best artist ever! Cant wait for the next solo album.

[musicmadman69]

isnt this about that politician who passed the war in iraq and he jumped off harrowdown hill after the 50th death of a british soldier. i also think thom yorke used to go there a lot as a youth
