Radiohead - 2 + 2 = 5

[borrasho34]

where is the power of 2:05??? WHERE?

[Toro953]

They sound amazing live, damn

[strrrangemen]

"2 + 2 = 5" comes from George Orwell's dystopia "1984" .

[Mcruled]

can i get confirmation? is the first half of the song 7/4? then its 4/4 for the chorus but thats easy.

[CODENAMEVIDEOS]

@Mcruled Sounds more like 7/8 to me

[Justi2]

@Mcruled 7/4

[dan1paredes]

beacause

[rhodas1980]

la mejor banda ever



[DonUzaki]

@takovarra why?

[takovarra]

@DonUzaki forget it, it war 3 weeks ago now I love the whole sond XD i'd better remove that comment :)

[kmv838]

Pink Floyd´s song "One of the Few" on The Final Cut, also makes reference to George Orwell´s 1984 when Waters sings "make 'em add 2 and 2, make 'em do what you want them to, make 'em laugh, make 'em cry, make them lay down and die". 1984 is a must read, wake up people, don`t let them brainwash you into believing that 2+2 is 5!

[kmv838]

Read George Orwell´s"1984".

[SodaJoker]

@tibet25 - He wasn't comparing Radiohead to the Beatles. They were saying Coldplay is like Radiohead, as much a the Monkeys are like the Beatles... And plus everyone is right to their own opinion so bleh

[natancoop]

damm

jonny is going crazy there

this video is bad ass!!

this song is epic!!!

and radiohead is god like!!!!!

[V4zCeNt]

The people pointing out the math error obviously have not read 1984 and realized this song is about it.

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

Thes fuckers cant do math. It eqauls 4!!!!

[PeterOnoLennon]

@AlcoholicSemenStain

In all logical sense it does, you are correct.

However, the 2+2=5 mentioned in this song probably signifies something else.

[kmv838]

@PeterOnoLennon Read George Orwell´s "1984" and you´ll know what 2+2=5 signifies.

[kmv838]

Read George Orwell´s "1984" if you want to know what it means.

[kmv838]

Read George Orwell´s "1984"

[lovethemusic109]

@AlcoholicSemenStain ha i know your trying to seem cool and shit but. if you listen to the song you will understand it. like legit.

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

@lovethemusic109 uhhh... fuck you?

[egyptainskye99]

@AlcoholicSemenStain uh fuck you?

[andrewarismunandar]

Radio + Head: Awesome

[Eliko6]

It's sublime!!! In every song of them i feel some, this is sublime.

[PTGodfather]

God like.

[prismgap]

I know that the term "modern rock" is kinda dead but this IS modern rock and it kicks ass.

[Alex2149]

they remind me ALOT of Nirvana

[bateristanumero1]

@Alex2149 FAIL!

[yovix555]

2 + 2 = 5 ...stars for you

[SirOctavious]

2+2=5

As 2 tends to 2.5.

WHEE!!! HOORAY FOR LIMITS!

[maniacchris]

I just came out of my ears!

[utube793]

math...fail

[heydontcare]

remember when i first heard this song tought he sang "penetration penetration yeah I feel it, I needed penetration" xD

[josemontenegro777]

@heydontcare lol... me too

[CreatureofMasquerade]

@heydontcare roflmao you won the dirty minded prize. 8======3 for u

[turbogeek45]

People who can't see past comparing Radiohead, Coldplay, and Muse, are emotionally unintelligent.

[turbogeek45]

I just think it is a very 2-dementional way of thinking.

[b3pointswish]

@turbogeek45 i'll have to highly agree with that. they're incredibly different. this is far, FAR away from the music i usually look at (see metalcore and deathcore), and i even i look at those bands as completely different animals. i like radiohead and muse, but each for different reasons.

[turbogeek45]

@b3pointswish Amen, brother. Amen.

[Mytwistedthoughts25]

OMG Ed is singing!!

[registrado54]

@Mytwistedthoughts25 Ed do a lot of backing vocals in a lot of songs

[Mariiaa94]

but 2+2 is 4 not 5 ;/

[jotatanv]

@Mariiaa94 ... the answer is in 1984 by Orwell

[qt247ha]

@Mariiaa94 LOL, sometimes people make it 5 for you

[Yearofthemonkey13]

Riddle me this. Who are these idiots who try compare coldplay to Radiohead? Look if your trying to make that argument then that means Radiohead is so far over your head that you will never get it. Do your self a favor and you tube Radioheads preformence at the 09 grammys where the lead singer of coldplay wife introduses Radiohead as the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!! There argument over. DIp shits!!

[UuDonKnowMe]

who are the 10 idiots who disliked this beauty???

[addei93]

awesome...

[santodelico]

La mejor cancion del mundo la puta madre!

[Hernameisrenee]

2+2 does NOT =5!! Orwell used that because any 1st grader could tell you that it is wrong. Believing in something does not make it so...2+2 has always and will always equal 4. This is where Orwell would be pissing himself right now! Its that kind of mentality that 1984 is against...the power of belief is strong as f@#$ and its very dangerous when the belief is false. When a tree falls in the woods it DOES make a sound! No matter who is around to hear it.

[LProcks28]

I liked that little bit of the song, you know from 0:00 to 4:01.

[MaxZyrix]

Coldplay + The Beatles = Radiohead

amirite?

[AzureQ95]

@MaxZyrix Radiohead - The Beatles = Coldplay :)

[MaxZyrix]

@AzureQ95 I like your version more :O

[GodspeedPatches]

@wavokanarchy don't you mean Coldplay is to Radiohead what the Beatles are to Radiohead?

Yeah! Another overenthusiastic pro-radiohead post for me!

[egge5027]

@GodspeedPatches nope..that would make coldplay equivalent to the beatles..which we all know they aren't..bad logic here

[kaistriker117]

@egge5027 I know Coldplay is a million times better!!!

[eazzy93]

@kaistriker117 What a big fat LOL

[talk45]

@kaistriker117 Hell no.

[RazorsharpLT]

@kaistriker117

That's your oppinion.



[mrtubular3]

@GodspeedPatches WHAT??????

[apiperatthegates]

F*cking Great!!!

[MorozovVM]

I very much love radiohead, but only on record. It SEEMS to me, THAT In the REAL LIFE ON STAGE Tom WHAT THAT TIRED And TO NOT EXPERIENCE the SONG (((

[silbaar]

awesome

[shuxxxpete]

Me jerking off to this song = the most pleasurable experience since the time my mangina clapped doing jumping jacks...

[oOosupernicoOo]

2+2=4 but okay xD

[jacksta95]

@oOosupernicoOo its -2+2 so its 0! wow

[jacksta95]

@jacksta95 oops

[oOosupernicoOo]

@jacksta95 ^^

[Brakermaker21]

@oOosupernicoOo "2+2=5" is a quote from george orwell's 1984. It's a demonstration of the fact that people should be allowed to think whatever they want.

p.s. with extreme values of 2, 2+2 does = 5.

[Crimsonn21]

@Brakermaker21

Actually it's a demonstration of how someone's mind can be so oppressed that he will stop recognizing even the most obvious things and will be completely over-run by sheepish devotion to a higher authority which will comand what is real... Quite the oposite to the right to think what you want..! :)

[Brakermaker21]

@Crimsonn21 And in demonstrating the fact that the mind can be over-run, Orwell demonstrates why the free thought is important. 2+2=5 in itself isn't an example of what I said, thats true. But Orwell's overal point does line up with what I said.

[dissident3909]

@Brakermaker21 Orwell borrowed the idea from Dostoevsky who originally, as far as i know, came up with the idea in Notes from the Underground. Give credit where credit is due.

[kebabsanchez]

@Brakermaker21 .... it doesn't mean that people should be allowed to think anything. You clearly have no understanding of the book because the quote means (in relation to the book) that if one can make people beleive that 2+2=5 and then truely beleive it themselves then its true, 2+2 does equal 5 if everyone beleives so, just like if i thought i jumped 10 foot high, then got people to beleive it, i actually did jump that high.

[kebabsanchez]

@Brakermaker21.... it doesn't mean that people should be allowed to think anything. You clearly have no understanding of the book because the quote means (in relation to the book) that if one can make people beleive that 2+2=5 and then truely beleive it themselves then its true, 2+2 does equal 5.

[rollskyder]

Is he saying : "Merci tout le monde" at the beginning of the video ?

[edrush001]

@rollskyder

yeah he is

[Brakermaker21]

incidentally, you can buy shirts that say, "2+2=5" I got one

[W4rcrafter]

god.. its better than the mp3

thats how you separate the talented from the un...

[camilucha007]

They're so fucking awesome .

[memomello]

this song is really awesome :D...

especially when 2:25 until the end...

[wolfcrab]

1984

[cidetoo]

loved the book! And this song is... wow! ^^

[tasopicollo43]

yea the book is amazing

[TrygviMurt]

I want to die to this song

[deepinmyass1]

thom yorke ...

[wastedyouth19]

you are kidding right?

[wovokanarchy]

Of course I'm taking the piss. Coldplay is to Radiohead what the Monkeys were to the Beatles.

[666StoneSour666]

agreed upon 100%

[couchtater7]

@wovokanarchy Monkees

[Kperson123]

@wovokanarchy

Uuhhhh it's the MonkEEs...stupid....jk :D

[awesomeness0192]

@wovokanarchy who are the monkeys

[tibet25]

@wovokanarchy You can´t compare LEGENDARY Beatles with such stupidness RADIOHEAD!!!

[wovokanarchy]

@tibet25 So I take it you love "bubblegum rock"? I wanna hold your hand...she loves you yeah yeah yeah....what rubbish.

[kennyoneightwo]

@tibet25 why then you CAN compare Beatles to all of the LEGENDARY bands before them? :) Radiohead - is the new Beatles.. of our time. 2,5 hours at their Live concert in Prague made me think so. best 2,5 hours of my life. believe me, it's pretty fuсking amazing - seeing 35year old people crying with tears when they are listening to Exit Music (For a Film) 2 meters from you. I personally know 30 people who came from Russia to Prague spending a monthly Moscow salary 2,5K Euro JUST FOR this concert.

[obliviontb]

@wovokanarchy Beatles sux

[Mynocks]

@obliviontb you are a bad troll

[JanMasl]

@wovokanarchy HOLY FUCK. MENTION OF THE MONKEYS.

[crackeclypse]

Esta canción es como una bomba a punto de estallar. Grande Radiohead!!!

[chingonm1]

Radiohead is awesome

[bioshockt]

I think its hard to describe to someone else what a Radiohead song is about, since everyone sees it differently. But if you've ever read a "1984" its partly a reference to that. So, I'll tell what i think it's about, which is the people giving into the government and by the time they get off there lazy asses to stop it, it's far to late for anything to happen about it.

[Brakermaker21]

nice nutshell

[MACKMAN10000]

radiohead....man what can i say...dope ass song...dope ass video

[Elekks]

...

[Milescook7655]

Why do you look it up if you don't like it? There's no point for you to look it up if you leave comment's like that. Because nobody want's to read a comment like that.

[camchrisgio]

itsa well made song but i don't lke it

[gardentan]

good one zetotalhaas

[Brakermaker]

Is he a

Brit????

[Darkstar4008]

i am better than thom yorke cuz i write better songs than him and i am more famous than him and i am more respectful of other artists. i have sold more albums than him too, as OBVIOUS by me watching delightful songs by him on the internet.

peace!

[XxVinylsxX]

fag

[sirormadame]

breeder

[mathiasgandy]

non-breeder.

[Brakermaker]

who r u??

[ZeTotalHaas]

I think its Miley Cyrus

[Darkstar4008]

yup. you are no one. 'tis true, hoten8. and i love to listen to things i hate.

and caution...what is wrong with me being retarded? also, "2" is not how you spell "to"....that seems like something a retard might do, which is to say, something i might do, appearantly.

[norms005]

"appearantly" is not the way you spell "apparently"...nice job trying to sound intellectual though

[Hoten8]

Am I a no one? Because I happen to love Radiohead...Also, if you hate it, why did you listen to it? Another thing, there is nothing wrong with being gay, though I doubt Thom Yorke is gay.

[cautionbigego]

your a fucking retard. thats all i need 2 say

[brrennnaaaa]

i agree with hoten8.

wtf dude?

[GunslingerXYZ]

I so wish Radiohead would release another live DVD. The only one released thus far (Live at the Astoria), which is still being solid on W.A.S.T.E., is so outdated they play "Pop Is Dead" on it! Nice document of the post-Pablo Honey, pre-Bends era, but we need a newer one. Y'know, to reflect a couple albums they've released since and you may've heard of: OK Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows, etc. Unfortunately, I bet the friction EMI will stop us from getting a full live DVD. Legal B.S. =(

[bosmicbomb]

this is the shit!

[BOLTAMANIA]

your shit!

[letoisagirlsname]

niiiiiiiice good qualityyyyyyyyyyy

[alvn]

love this song.
