wow... you really struck gold man.... thanks for sharing this gem. much appreciated. everytime i listen to this song i feels like sugar ray leonard went 12 rounds with my insides. it is shattering.
On 1:28, Thom looks like an embryo. Please, don't punch me... if you stop a little, you can see how fragile and vulnerable Thom is. I bet if I hug him, I would break all his bones. :(
I don't say it only on physical appearance, but on the feelings that he express when he sings it loudly.
Every time I see this video, it makes me wanna cry.
it is stunning that someone could knowingly click on this video and consciously select the dislike button as if their expectations went unsatisfied... im 11times confused
Well it could be that their subjective opinion differs from your. Not especially weird as Thom's voice is very different from the norm and well it's not for everyone so to say.
@swedenxtrem i wasn't implying that everyone must like Radiohead and Thom's voice or that everyone even knows who they are... I was just assuming someone searching for 'Street Spitit Acoustic' would perhaps be aware of the studio version of the song and the band and therefore i am stunned that people would consciously dislike the song/video because they werent impressed with Thom and Johnny's acoustic take on it.. thats all.. but i understand what you're saying as well
I love this song and this is a great performance....
but for some reason, every time I hear the story of Thom saying how much it hurts to sing this song because of all that drama in it's meaning, I get the feeling he threw that idea out there to sit back and enjoy watching all his fanboys repeat his nonsensical ramblings just as a joke. He just seems like that kind of a joker to me.
It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of its meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging its tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart. I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much. I didn't write that song. ~Thom Yorke

i listen to it at least once per day... I feel like i Have to, like it's making my day better...and to be honest it does, it makes it more...colorfull...
@maikthegreat92 isn't this song about how he believes the devil always wins?? he's said in numerous interviews that singing this is incredibly hard for him. :O that being said...still the greatest thing i've heard.
@00Radiohead of course it's difficult, look at the lyrics, it's pure poetry... I think Thom is the only man who can sing this and make you feel what he is singing... masterpeace...
He can take as many breaths as he'd like in my book, HE'S FUCKEN BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL! This song is no easy task for sure, and his creation so be it. HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS THOM LIKE ONLY YOU CAN!
No words... I dont know how, its just make me sad, makes me nostalgic, I love this song.. and his final message.. Inmerse your soul in love, no words to describe my admiration to Radiohead, it just makes my imagination flies at full speed, thanks for this pure art.

10 people dislike seeing what this "talent" thing is about.
See they're holding instruments called guitars. That sound coming out of his mouth is called his (real) singing voice.
Lesson over for tonight, we'll reconvene tomorrow where I'll show you just why putting some pretty boys together doesn't make them a band. Homework is listen to actual real music until your ears bleed.
I'm moved to tears. This is great talent, and what goes far beyond talent. Only Thom Yorke could deliver this song with such impact . In every live vid I've seen of this song, I can see what it's doing to him—as much (and perhaps more) than listeners. How could people sway and cheer while this is playing? They must be stone deaf or hopelessly wasted.
...and that ladies and gentlemen, is how you write a song that impacts the human heart.
Wow...just fucking wow...depth you can't teach. No music lesson in the world will teach someone how to cut through other's souls with that much vividness.
You either are born knowing how to reach people on this level, or you're not, and Radiohead do it on a level unlike anything I've ever heard.
'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it. It wrote itself. We were just its messengers; its biological catalysts. Its core is a complete mystery to me, and, you know, I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve"
@makidtrej I completely understand what Thom is saying. I'm a poet and I feel that my life in it's entirety writes my poems I just try to use soulful and profound word sequences to capture the message. I absoutely detest reading my work aloud and when I've had to do so I have to completely disconnect from all emotion from the piece as it's my soul exposed on paper and I couldn't do it if I remained attached
Who the fuck dislikes this? My guess is Radiohead fans who bitch that anything pre Kid A was top 40 pop music and only true music fans appreciate the post OK Computer stuff more than pre OK Computer stuff.
@Hallucination Anyone who thinks that this is mainstream has other stuff to worry about. I've never come across a Radiohead fan who hates The Bends and OKC so I think any who do are in a minority (Pablo Honey is another story). I do however think that many Radiohead fans are ironically close minded, but whatever makes 'em happy, whatever they want.
He says that when he sings this song he can't actually think about it or else he would break down in sadness. He has to block out all emotion in the moment of performance. He says that he didn't even create the song and that it created it self. He feels that the song is something he would never create, because it a tunnel without light. Theres no hope at the end.
@lazomba He also has to sing it inside of vacuum, or else anyone within earshot of it will be tranported to a magical musical dimension for 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
I sang this song with an acoustic guitar in front of my school (6-700ppl) and almost everyone who knew the song said, that they liked it more than the original.
...damn.. what ignorant deafs. This is uncoverable, as almost all Radiohead songs. Perfect :)
What a fantastic performance of this song! I remember reading somewhere that Thom dislikes it when people act so excited when this song is played, as he feels it's one of the saddest, most heartfelt songs he's ever written. I wonder if something happened at this point in time to allow him to pour such a huge amount of emotion into the performance.
@SydMorrison He actually has to block out everything to sing this song or else he'll break down and cry. He doesn't know where the song came from and he says he didn't write, but that it wrote it self.
@TheDarkDimensions Your comment is really powerful. This music makes me cry and your comment struck a cord in me. Sometimes everything seems really small and sad and it's like his voice is telling the whole world my deepest fears and secrets.
every time someone mentions how many people dislike a video in a witty way, everyone likes wut the say. A bit of irony in that. Great song none the less
Thom says he takes himself of the emotion in this song whenever they play it live because he wouldn't be able to cope but this performance here with no crowd and possibly many takes I think he's not holding back at all. Oustanding
haha learning to play this song is a nightmare trying to start practising but once you get into it it's just a case of learning not to muffle the strings lol
This song makes my eyes cryin', soul bleeding and heart tearing on two halfs but anyway I can't stop listeing it. Someone wrote here "...what a beautifuly hopeless song" Well he was fucking right. Right now I'm fighting with my fuckin' tears too. Love Radiohead!!!
@mlsgearon this is quite intriguing (and impressive), the technique he masterizes to keep this long high note. I used to sing this song, everything's ok but the breath. It's about the same with Chris Isaak, on the song "Dancing" for example (live version). Must be in the way of projecting the sound somehow, in order to economize a lot of air. Or if not, I don't know, what kind of lungs do they have?? iron lungs? :)
@mlsgearon Um, do you think that he doesn't take breaths in the studio version? The man has pipes but of course he does. You can't hear them because of studio magic, silly person. :P
now normally a beautiful song like this, I'd say no to covering, but I heard The Darkness' cover of it, and probably because it's a different genre, it kinda works in a strange way
@amsterjan1 funny you mention Jeff Buckley, which I love too, I've read once what Thom said about Jeff. He said if it wasn't for Jeff I wouldn't have the courage to sing so much in falsetto...
This song may sound like it's about hopelessness, but the ending reminds us all of the one thing that gives us all salvation. If we don't have love in our hearts for SOMETHING then that black hole will swallow us all in the end.
'Immerse your soul in love'.........before it's too late.
"Street Spirits (Fade Out)" was the song that made me a Radiohead fanatic, and this acoustic renditon is a testament of Thom Yorke's overlooked harmonic quality in his voice and connection of the song's theme. Any reason on this band not being more revered for its obvious talent is beyond me.
does anyone have the performance of Fake Plastic Trees from this session? Also probably the best version of the song, but the youtube video has been taken down : (
Class...pure and simple.

@mlsgearon Um, do you think that he doesn't take breaths in the studio version? The man has pipes but of course he does. You can't hear them because of studio magic, silly person. :P

now normally a beautiful song like this, I'd say no to covering, but I heard The Darkness' cover of it, and probably because it's a different genre, it kinda works in a strange way

@amsterjan1 funny you mention Jeff Buckley, which I love too, I've read once what Thom said about Jeff. He said if it wasn't for Jeff I wouldn't have the courage to sing so much in falsetto...

This song may sound like it's about hopelessness, but the ending reminds us all of the one thing that gives us all salvation. If we don't have love in our hearts for SOMETHING then that black hole will swallow us all in the end.
'Immerse your soul in love'.........before it's too late.

"Street Spirits (Fade Out)" was the song that made me a Radiohead fanatic, and this acoustic renditon is a testament of Thom Yorke's overlooked harmonic quality in his voice and connection of the song's theme. Any reason on this band not being more revered for its obvious talent is beyond me.

That's how you pour your soul into a song.

does anyone have the performance of Fake Plastic Trees from this session? Also probably the best version of the song, but the youtube video has been taken down : (

One of the most flawless performances I have ever seen.
Thom Yorke means what he is singing about.
Please do NOT blow us all up.
Immerse your soul in love.
