sorry for the lovers of heavly arranged songs or overproduced extravaganzas (aka beatles fans)but, from an artistic point of view, THIS is THE BEST radiohead song ever.a masterpiece that they would never repeat again.
another radiohead's masterpieces: maybe national anthem and pyramid song, very good songs: a lot!!: creep, paranoid android, karma police, no surprises, etc...
@progreadicto good to hear a different opinion. I agree that Life In A Glass and Pyramid Song are masterpieces. I think that Wolf at the Door, I Will, Fog, Present Tense (by Thom Yorke, not Radiohead) are masterpieces as well. I'm interested in your opinion about these songs, please let me know.
@musicinmusic well, in my vision of music, few songs are considerated masterpieces. there are "absolute masterpieces" (maybe 30 songs in all rock history, for example "the end" by the doors or sister ray by velvet underground), "masterpieces" (maybe 200, for example "stairway to heaven") and "little masterpieces" (maybe 300-400, for example this song and "a day in the life" (beatles)). the songs you have named are all good ones, masterpieces (for me), maybe no. but if you like them, its ok.
I personally like this song, I didn't much at first listen, but once you really like The National Anthem, then you like the horns, each of which has their own rhythm and you start to like that. But give Radiohead credit, they really do try a wide range if things, this doing a more jazzy and slightly classical side. Not many bands try stuff like this, so give Radiohead the mark for it, no matter how it sounds to you.
@mukkohaha Hahaha, you call this Thom Yorke stuff shit, yet you named Genesis as tied for the best music!?!?!? Hahahaha, everything you said just got voided! You say you judge music in quality, so I'm guessing if that is the results of your method, I'm guessing you probably give Rebecca Black good marks, hahaha, you probably got Beiber Fever to, don't you now!?!? Hahahaha, your funny man!
I have always loved radiohead, probrably the bigest influence from the 90's on my own music, even though i play alot of folk style music. However, I must say this is out of all my favorite song by radiohead, Just have to say it seeing the amount of lame speech about this song on this comment thread. I would asume that most who have said these things have not listened to radiohead for a very long time. The thing about this band is they transcend genre, and can take any style and make it theres.
I sometimes think, what if Radiohead dedicated their whole career to jazz, or the sounds of idioteque and morning bell, or bodysnatchers.... I wish Radiohead would live forever :)
@mukkohaha half decent musicians, is putting it gently ;) if you played Bethooven and Mozart on the piano since you were 5, and played guitar / drums / bass / Keyboard for 20 years, then go ahead and tell me something about music.
people today Worships anything, i can agree this is Real music, rather than Techno hip hop, But i prefer listening to The Real Masters of music,
another example, mark knophler, Ofc. Phil collins of Genesis,
Mate, just because you can play music does not mean you can listen out for quality music. Plus, you don't even think that hip-hop is music, which shows how much you actually know. Do you think that hip-hop only consists of what you hear on the top 40? Disregarding entire genres is about as juvenile as you can be when it comes to listening to and enjoying music.
@mukkohaha Hey, maybe I don't meet your requisites. I only started playing Mozart when I was 7. I haven't played guitar for 20 years, because I'm only 15. However, I do have a musical background: My sister has a diploma in music, as does my cousin. My late father played guitar in bands, my uncle plays professionally in an orchestra, and is also a music teacher. My other close relatives include people who have performed in musical theatre, and some have great connections to famed musicians...
@mukkohaha And do you know what I've learned? There is no such thing as "real masters of music". I used to think that way. Music isn't a craft, like knitting a scarf, or cooking food. It's a form of expressing your ideas, it's fun alone, and it's a great social activity - it's a lifestyle. "Ranking" music and genres is pretty narrow minded. I am not a fan of Justin Bieber, but I won't call his music of being a "low rank". I just don't really like it. Problem?
@mukkohaha Lastly, I'm pretty educated in music theory and composition :). Radiohead makes incredible music to my ears - they have consistently made strong, memorable melodies without sounding "calculated". They have a great sense of consonance and dissonance, which is pretty evident in this song. Radiohead also makes brilliant use of pedal point. That'll probably be most evident to the average ear in "Pyramid Song" (which, by the way, is a sick, but deviously simple warping of 4/4 time).
@LotusCodex I must admit im looking for music worth listening to, and all i did were listening to the legends, bob marley, Jimmi hendrix, dire straits, Tracy chapman, and so on, you know all these Legend status artists, there are a Ton ^^
But I concider Radiohead some of the best newer music, They are Defiantly ALOT better then Coldplay, <- who i aint liking :P
Thumbs up? he got 85 Thumbs up, But his opinion only matters to himself? NO he is just speaking the truth, and people acknowledged this same truth, your a pathetic emo i bet, Fuck you.
This song seems vindicated after the events of the last few days.
It's almost like the song is written for James Murdoch when he was buying the phone hacking victims silence with his gag order out of court settlements and then attacking the bbc in his 'the absence of trust' lecture.
maybe it's just me but at some point composition is similar to "waltz z. k. minor" by Lach Jankowski. i know they were strongly inspired by some classical pieces so who knows:)
This song could have been sung by Billie Holiday.. I sometimes radiohead sounds like if Billie Holiday sang for Erik Satie.... anyway great song, as per usual, from Radiohead.
Amnesiac is not better than Kid A but.... Life in a Glasshouse, is hands down the greatest Radiohead song i my opinion.
Also this song could have been the best album-ending of all time, if this song would had been adapted fittingly as closing song on Kid A instead of Motion Picture S.
stop comparing artists. radiohead doesnt compare to anyother artist...especially coldplay. Christ Martin said that radiohead is one of his highest influences, but the closest hes ever come to radiohead is probably the first coldplay album, and from there on he hasnt come close to radioheads sound and passion.
I sat around thinking last night about midnight, about death and dying and that sort of depressing thing. I've always had a grip on the fact that everyone I once knew would disappear from the earth someday, but what if the band Radiohead was to die? There would be nobody in the entire fuckin world that could replace them. After this thought I sat around listening to this album while sucking on a lemon just thanking god that these musical geniuses will never fade out.
I don't remember where, but i read somewhere that that song was inspired by syd barrett,you know, kind of prisonner in is own house..? I may be wrong!
Both Coldplay and Radiohead and amazing and before i really got into Radiohead i would say Coldplay was one f the best. But now I've heard Jesus playing music with Moses, Elijah ,Elisha David, and Solomon in Heaven and sending it down to inspire The greatest band of all time.
Radiohead and Tool- two progressive bands who dare to defy the music industry with weird as hell videos, actual art, and actual music.
We need more of these legends, true artists. Radiohead for """""pop""""", Tool for """""metal"""""", and since rap can't possibly be progressive, you know where I'm going with this.
@TourettesSomething I don't mean to be a jerk, but: Radiohead is not really pop, TOOL is not exactly metal, and "Rap" can, very much, be progressive (though what you'll hear on the radio will probably never prove it). Your seeming reliance on genre will only limit your enjoyment, in the end... Disavow your pretenses and explore; the internet is good for that! (Again, not trying to be a jerk. Just trying to encourage a broadening of horizons, for art's sake.)
@cloudofbees That's why I had so many quotation marks around "pop" and "metal".
I.. guess rap can be progressive, especially when I think of rapcore (i.e. Rage Against the Machine). Technically, merging rap with metal-punk IS pretty progressive. And then there is...
@TourettesSomething Lupe Fiasco is alright. He sounds different. He also doesn't like the whole commercial music industry as well. Also not every song is about girls, car and money. Jay Z isn't bad either. However Radiohead will always be the best to me ;)
You might try the Wu-Tang Clan for brilliant rap. Or try DJ Shadow, who is simply beyond words(he is famous for having made an two albums entirely out of samples, and any attempt to put him in a genre is ill-advised)
@cloudofbees Well I'll say... You seem like an intelligent person. One in a small internet-minority!
I completely agree, and I think this is true with a lot of things in life. Expectations and labels can work as a wall between acquiring new tastes or understanding concepts or ideas...
@cloudofbees I think of Radiohead being more of an alternative art rock band, while tool is another art rock band but go from progressive/ psychedelic rock to art metal. But personally, rap was only decent back in the 80's and 90's. Now it's filled with trash lyrics and the repetitive and moronic beats. So I'll stick to my Radiohead and Tool for now :D
@Stiny114 surely, then, you have not heard the self titled album from lunatic soul :) i will add you as a friend and show you, if you like radiohead you should be able to slightly embrace this band! dont worry, not heavy. and no, im not advertising it, because its not my band. but its good and i want to spread good music, like this!
@bassmanUSSR Actually, if you listen to Kid A you'll notice that it's better, then if you listen to Amnesiac you'll notice that it's also better...that's called the Radiohead effect, where the last thing you listen to is your favorite.
@VanillaSnow23 Because, like The Beatles' White Album, it has a tremendous variety of genres in the same record! Jazz, blues, electronica, what could be defined as "pop" and "rock" . The tracks do not match between'em...at all! And it's not a bad thing. In fact, it's kind of fresh and inspiring :)
@AbrahamMegchun It's Radiohead's Amnesiac album! One of the greatest albums of all time. This is my favorite song on the album, and perhaps in their whole catalog. Genius. Nothing but goosebumps.
life in a glass house is such an original song to me.......i mean i could never find a song that is like it or makes me think about it...........these guys really pulled this one out of nowhere..........i sit here and ponder about how these guys actually make songs and can never come up with an answer................ these guys are GENIUSES!
This is currently my favourate song right now, I'm loving the slow jazz/blues feel it has about it, can anyone please think of anything similar to this maybe without vocals, just some nice slow moody jazz?
@Molotovityxxx you are so asshole, sure you are an idiot who like to hear espanish rock and all that shit stuff like molotov, radiohead don´t have comparation whit colplay, often i like bouth assssshole
I agree with those ones that say that this is one of Radiohead´s best, at the same level that pyramid song or paranoid android, very underated and unknown if i may say.
Tim Burton has been played out to no end. Now all he does is cater to the twilight emo fags who like his stuff because of how "dark and mysterious" it is.
When I'm listening to this song and close my eyes an old imaginary sepia-colored silent movie emerges from my mind all the time. A woman and a man by the river bank. A medley of beauty and sadness. I don't know why.
@chiso165wh Humans aren't capable of such creative talent. Radiohead aren't human they are immortals that are intelligently ahead of all of us. They are subetarranean homesick aliens.

@Stiny114 surely, then, you have not heard the self titled album from lunatic soul :) i will add you as a friend and show you, if you like radiohead you should be able to slightly embrace this band! dont worry, not heavy. and no, im not advertising it, because its not my band. but its good and i want to spread good music, like this!

@bassmanUSSR Actually, if you listen to Kid A you'll notice that it's better, then if you listen to Amnesiac you'll notice that it's also better...that's called the Radiohead effect, where the last thing you listen to is your favorite.

Amnesiac: Radiohead's White Album
AbrahamMegchun 1 year ago
@AbrahamMegchun What do you mean by that statement?
VanillaSnow23 1 year ago
@VanillaSnow23 Because, like The Beatles' White Album, it has a tremendous variety of genres in the same record! Jazz, blues, electronica, what could be defined as "pop" and "rock" . The tracks do not match between'em...at all! And it's not a bad thing. In fact, it's kind of fresh and inspiring :)

@AbrahamMegchun It's Radiohead's Amnesiac album! One of the greatest albums of all time. This is my favorite song on the album, and perhaps in their whole catalog. Genius. Nothing but goosebumps.

amnesiac isn't as good as other radiohead stuff, but it's the most various
it has ballads, electro,rock and even a little jazz
the only simmilar various album was hail to the thief but it had more songs

Tim Burton has been played out to no end. Now all he does is cater to the twilight emo fags who like his stuff because of how "dark and mysterious" it is.

When I'm listening to this song and close my eyes an old imaginary sepia-colored silent movie emerges from my mind all the time. A woman and a man by the river bank. A medley of beauty and sadness. I don't know why.
So nice.

I cannot believe human beings are capable of creating such beauty.
