Radiohead - Big Ideas (acoustic)

[VictorC53]

i love that they used this on in rainbows,they didnt use alot of old material on any records!

[kevinisfire]

OMG I've been looking for this version everywhere! This is my 2000-2001. His vocal is so much more haunting in this than Nude. btw unofficially this song was called "Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)" until it was recorded and released as Nude on In Rainbows

[RobBrooksMusic]

When people hoot and cheer at the end of a song like this, I always wonder if they actually understand and relate to the lyrics at all

[makidtrej]

@RobBrooksMusic Thom has questioned the very same thing himself. And he isn't very happy with what he elucidated.

[RobBrooksMusic]

Aren't those words off In Rainbows?

[WormyBoySquigle]

Wow... there was a story all along. That's really cool.

[chrissalyn81]

Nude easily replaced Talk Show Host as my favorite Radiohead song when I heard it, but I could replace the finished track of Nude with this early rendition. The extra verse in this version kinda clarifies what was put on In Rainbows. That one seems disjointed, like Radiohead's leaving out this HUGE gap story between the 1st and 2nd parts.

[CharlotteFromNZ]

Beautiful... just amazing

[Gabby371992]

chilling , yet beautiful.

[vpc82]

wonderful...big ideas-nude is my favourite radiohead song

[angelboi33]

this song is over ten years old. not this version, though.

[003ralf003caster]

Using nothing but an acoustic guitar makes the song more raw and the ambiance more personnal, that's why most of you feel so touched by it. But there is definitely more work and potential in the In Rainbows version than this one. I'm not saying it's bad (it can't be bad it's nude!), but don't forget that one of the reason why you love this one so much is because:

1) it feels newer because you've heard the studio version before

2) you recognize the song (thinking OMG this is nude i know this!)

[bernlin2000]

@003ralf003caster Yes, I think the extra verse wasn't necessary, the In Rainbows version is still my favorite: I love that backwards opening.

[DJG009]

No Lie gave me goosebumps, Radiohead fan for life

[rhodas1980]

@DJG009 the same thing for me

[docnom]

"NUDE"

[DarkSwordlessLink66]

did he say you paint your ass white :P ?

[Tomza2207]

@DarkSwordlessLink66 heard that too, i think it's 'house.'

[seapockets]

one of the best vocals i'v heard.

[MrAcalderon1979]

I first heard this back in the late 90's as a bootleg and waited and wondered why they never released it until it came out. This version is definitely the definitive of all....pure unadulterated passion and soul....outpouring of emotion

[WirelessShuffle]

I tought that the Nude from the album version is the best song ever created, and know i just heard this, and, i was in shock. Can the best song ever wrote can have a better version ? And its so deep, i almost started to cry.

[starvingartsnet]

@WirelessShuffle can the best song ever created really have an album version?

[bensley56]

well, i do like the album version more. but this is great too. much more raw.

[pepered67]

Awesome. Far better than the over-produced album version. Sometimes less is most definitely more. Barrage of insults over here please

[SpoonHysteria]

@pepered67

Not needed when most of us agree with you.

[uroviiv]

@pepered67 You bastard! How dare you have an opinion that differs from mine! I jest, I like the album version, but this one is certainly lovely in its own right.

[smoerebroed92]

I wish the album version would be as touching as that.

The album version is good.

But this leaves me speechless.

[nlothvictor]

shit....this reaches my soul! i´m gonna cry....

[ErKenta]

Fuckin amazing

[NaNaMiLiebe]

Tan hermosa como sus otras versiones, nada menos se puede esperar de esta maravillosa banda

[thomachable]

Its sounds like the naked version.

[nahhooo]

this is not an acoustic version...sounds like the same voice (or vocals...dont know how to call them) with and acoustic guittar...sounds good anyway i love this song

[1foofighter606]

I don't think it is the same as the studio. I think that that is what your applying it is. It sounds similar but not the same i would say

[RadioheadSnatcher]

Wow this is just a perfect song...

[tobboy]

Nude?

Wow it's very different.

[rjrj1010]

do you have an mp3 of this?

[basman2006]

Yes I have it, if you want it you can always pm me.

[dareinsanity]

@basman2006 how do i pm? what is pm? i would love a version of this.

[registrado54]

@basman2006 can you give me the mp3 file of this song?
