  • Credit should also be given to Andy (Thom's brother). He does the backing vocals.

  • Thanks for that,didnt mean to upset anyone and he does a great version as well.

  • Agree with you,our heroes may never meet our exacting standards and why should they but violence I cant and wont endorse,I still listen to the Miracle legion as I love the band,its just a comment on Mark himself!

  • song has something

  • Like the song... Dont care much for the video

  • What makes me a frog? OOOOOhhh I see is that a rascist comment,well I am not french anyway but thats a first,a rascist liking beautiful music,go listen to some skinhead band,as for deserving it,does anyone have the right to hit or kick someone else,,,oh sorry in your rascist world they do.

  • @sideshowbytheseashor Don't worry about it man, you're allowed have an opinion on the guy. This is Thom's version anyway.

  • Used to really like Miracle legion until Mulcahy kicked me off the corner of the stage as I was leaning on it in London one night,ego too big for one man,needed the whole stage for himself.One word for him "Arsehole"nice songs,really beautiful but arrogant man.

  • @sideshowbytheseashor You probably deserved it, stupid frog.

  • Thanks for you posting. Simply a comment. I loved John Martyn's music for many years, met and liked him a few times. However,I watched a documentary film where he revealed himself to be selfish, arrogant and bigoted. Don't love his music any less, and I accept he was just human, but I don't have to kow-tow to "popular" views by people who don't know or wish to see our heroes in a real light!

  • Somebody DISLIKED this??? I feel sorry for those people. not in a condescending way of course.

  • “We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.”

  • This song has changed my life.

  • Thom Yorke ele é otimo !!

  • Nice and modern approach to the song. All melodies have stayed the same but the arrangement is completely thom yorke style.

  • Every time my life changes into another spiraling disaster and all my good intentions slip away like so much sand between my fingers, I listen to this song, take a deep, deep breath and realize that everything, good or ill, is all for the best. And, somehow, no matter what, I always feel better afterwards and ready to take on another beautiful day.

    Oh the beauty of music.

  • drunk faints and hits her throat on tupperware, asphyxiates, dies. Just feel sad already, sheesh

  • 2: 56 > 3:56 : such an indescribable feeling raising up inside 

  • I guess if there was no "e" at the end of Yorke, he would still make awesome beautiful music

  • it reminds me of inception

    

  • @leffyification wich is the most overrated movie ever

  • @leffyification This is Thomception

  • Thumbs up for Mark Mulcahy awareness.

  • what a horrible video, in my entire life knowing thome york, i never accept this fan video cliché

  • @dept26INCH you claim to know thom york(e) yet you spell his name wrong. idiot.

  • @12345l6789 how is it spelled wrong?

  • @mrpumpkinn Its Thom Yorke with an e you idiot

  • @12345l6789 thats how he/she has spelled it.

    prick.

  • @mrpumpkinn I can confirm that you are in fact both incorrect. The correct spelling of his name is Pthom Yourck. Please dont feel ashamed, loads of people forget the silent "p" all the time. You don't have to thank me. I'm a mere being, just like yourselves, passing on through this life, trying to do good one step at a time. Your welcome friends. Your welcome.

  • @stuart101 you forgot his middle name. "horacio"

  • 150,652 Views... I'm viewer 150,001 through 150,652

  • I could swim in this song

  • i have no words to explain how good this is...

  • Dedicated to Mark Mulcahy who's original inspired this cover, its all for the best Mark.

  • <3

  • Best place to find women # lushfmlk.info #

  • @sihmeteena No, the best place to find women is... oh, usually anywhere.

  • I love this Song

  • I truly love this song and All of Thom Yorke and radiohead's art

  • "Promise me son, not to do the things I've done."

  • I love this song but the videos just not thoms style.

  • Some serious effort in this video, but its shit

  • Just weird enough to be beautiful.

  • very incredible video and song.

  • Well done Thom!!!!!

  • PLEASE PEOPLE, THIS IS A FUCKING COVER OF MIRACLE LEGION! Thom Yorke did this cover (among with other artists who did other covers of the same band), in order to help financially Mark Mulcahy, leader of Miracle Legion & Polaris, whom lost his wife last year and have now to raise his children alone. Please give the man more credit for writing this magnificent song.

    Thanks Mark for your genius! It was and still is all for the best

  • @rafaelmadferit so true, Mark Mulcahy is the man behind this song, and circumstances are sad but let us be grateful for his music and the Yorke brothers for supporting him

  • @rafaelmadferit Can you tell me why it's dedicated to Melissa Mulcahy, is it Mark's dead wife? Were they both particular friends of Thom Yorke?

  • @scumskimmer yes

  • @rafaelmadferit it doesn't do any good to get all bent out of shape because some people are ignorant to certain facts. you don't always know who wrote a song when you first hear one. you gotta learn by doing research. not by getting cursed out.

  • It's so beautiful that it hurts.

  • Brilliant video unbelievable tune.

  • This is the most... British... music video I have ever seen

  • Comment removed

  • One of the most amazing songs ive had the pleasure of hearing.

  • What an artist! My God. Thom & RH are like wine.....the older they become the better music produce. God bless 'em...

  • this song is incredible

  • the song is incredible

  • This song/vid is soo sad, reminds me of my friends who have past on

  • I love this :)

  • Brilliant song. Thom Yorke is one of the world's most talented individuals.

  • this song is fuckin nice i luv it

  • @MrFANTASTIK881

    That exactly what I just said to my friend

  • Think I'll settle for the original, but (of course) brilliant. :) If you aren't familiar with Miracle Legion, I would strongly urge you to find some stuff. "Surprise Surprise Surprise" is an incredibly good album by them.

  • @clayguy33 The guitarist in miracle legion, Mr Ray, is my uncle :P

  • @FliXeRoCk107 Cool! Miracle Legion at Cogan's in Norfolk, VA was one of my all-time favorite shows. Tell 'em thanks!

  • @clayguy33 No problem, he is over here (UK) for a bit and he is coming over on saturday, so i will! :D

  • @FliXeRoCk107

    That is so fuckin' amazing!

    Your uncle was on P&P!

    Niiice

  • @Kudell46and2 i belive he was, for about one episode :P he wasn't actually in Polaris, the band that recored the theme music and all the music in the show, because he was on a tour of the states at the time :)

  • you can kill someone with those shoes

  • the best music is one that stays in the head of the creator. and Thom will never say enough :)

  • one of the most beautiful & melancholy songs I've ever heard. a wonderful cover.

  • heart achingly beautiful song

  • Thom is a master of it's own craft...

  • wow!! is great!!!

  • Oh Thom. :")

  • esta cancion te da todo el animo para el dia q se necesita

  • Why oh why is that old man trying to force a bag of chips upon that woman? Terrible, absolutely terrible.

  • This song is great. I love it, but I can't stand the parts that come in that are really rough. You know when they show the bones and whatnot?

  • I like it.

  • The offspring of Thom shall be the rulers of the new world.

  • I like the original by Miracle Legion. This seems like an empty cover with unnecessary electronic sound added to make it sound more modern.

  • @Thorbie really? because to me this song bleeds emotion more than most things i have ever heard

  • @farfle10 Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree. I just feel like there's too much back beat and not enough actual music and definitely lacking the jangly guitar Miracle Legion is known for. I do think his voice sounds a lot like Mark Mulcahy though.

  • This version of this song is so poweful, it really means something to me - and I'm sure to a lot of people as well.

    It really is brilliantly done as a cover

  • I love this song with all my heart!

    To show the real power of music this song actually helped to better my life.

    When I was going through a real-life nightmare and was just struggling to get through the day this song came along and calmed my worries and gave me the resolution that it's all, every bit of it, for the best.

    Since then whenever I've felt down or worried or troubled all I've had to do was think of this song.

    Then I start singing it and a calm smile will almost instantly form.

  • That man's shoes are ridiculous.

  • Thom= success.

  • q chimba de cancion........

  • Lets not forget the genius who originally wrote and sang the song; Mark Mulcahy.

  • I'm a bit confused. Saw an article that said Radiohead would make something in 2010. anyone who knows anything ?? My fingers have been crossed for 4 months..

  • @sefl

    Theyve recently began work on the new album last january (2010) The album will mostlikely be out Late 10 - Early 11.

    Your Welcome.

  • this has been my favorite from thom lately. but he's always raisin the bar, so im sure that will change. great fuckin song.

  • hahaha weirdest and ugliest video i've seen in a while.

    but great great great song.

  • I love music that makes me feel something

  • Mulcahy is a genius.

  • wait, this is not the official video, right? ..or is it?

  • genius

  • I dont get whats wrong with the video, it seems many others do

  • this is far better than the original, no disrespect, but Thom is simply a more talented musician.

  • i thought the old man was david carradine when i first glanced at this vid

  • What a masterpiece!

    I mean the song...not the video.

  • Miracle Legion aka Mark Mulchay i like the original better but this is great as well

  • who was the original

  • Comment removed

  • that may be the weirdest comment i have ever read

  • @xtremebeen You must be new to the internet. Welcome.

  • @xtremebeen baahahhah

  • @bones22j, well I'm not sure he spent his entire life in the studio....but I guess I agree with your sentiments in a way. He's already recorded some material while making babies; however, it's called In Rainbows Disc 2.

  • I just found this video and saw your comment, I totally agree.

  • oh my fucking god i'm dying of laughter at your comment

  • An artist must live to produce beautiful music. Being in a studio every single second of his life would result in meaningless songs.

  • @bones22j Selfish, but what we all want xD Maybe if he just kept a schedule as well and released the songs at just the right times. When we REALLY want them hah not on a constant

  • @bones22j interesting to think about thom yorke making babies with his wife

  • @bones22j pump your brakes their Creepy McStalky, it's just a cover.

  • @kehoeseanadam

    JUST a cover? It's a fuckin brilliant cover!

  • @bones22j Don't think he would make that great music if you did that to him mate..

  • @bones22j you cant suck his blood for ever. you'll just have to make something yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • @bones22j it wasn't a funny joke man, but i'm sorry that you have to keep getting attention from it... i'm not stoked on the "highest rated comments" display either. Glad that your making music... happy to give you some feedback

  • @bones22j 69 thumbs up... "the weirdest comment i have ever read..." comment removed. What the hell did it say??

  • @UniversityOfMunich something about how he wanted Thom and his family to forever live in a studio and make music until the end of times. It was pretty weird.

  • amazing video and song

  • not a big fan of the video, but the song is absolutely fantastic.

  • este tio es la cañaaa, un genio futurista

  • beautiful video

  • yorke es mi unico heroe en este lio...

    my only hero in this chaos!!!

  • the video is rubbish. this cover is deece.

  • the video is cringeworthy. song is good though.

  • Yup. loved the song 20, count em 20 yrs ago. blew my doors off then.

    yorke arrangement & video suit the cover perf.

    A+

  • estamos contigo mark Mulcahy

    -----

    en 2009 falleció la esposa de mark mulcahy, dejándolo a el solo con la crianza de sus hijas gemelas de 3 años de edad. para darle apoyo varios artistas colaboraron en un cd con canciones versionadas de mulcahy en 2009 se lanza un cd con varios artistas haciendo covers de sus canciones, incluyendo una version de all for the best por Thom Yorke

  • Yorkes version is deffinently better than the original. Sorry. And I LOVE the original.

  • best song of the year

    worst video of the decade

  • Ha ha ha ha..

  • @milesmetsox4 like to see what you think a good music video is like. If you know the story behind the release of the song the video is poignant and exceedingly well made.

  • @milesmetsox4 worst video of all times: romeo and juliet by dire straits.

  • disco della settimana su Radio Base Popolare Network!

  • I was genuinly speechless the first time I heard this, knowing the back story to it; the dedication to Mark Mulcahy and his wife who passed away, it is truly something of insane beauty.

    To this day, Thom Yorke never fails to surprise and amaze me. (:

  • thank you for sharing this interesting info...

    song is beautiful btw :D

  • *Speechless*

  • seriously who did the video? it looks like it's a project from film school using as many amateurish cliches as possible.

  • the video is meh.. the song is A!!!

  • I love the soft Thom...I definitely close my eyes to this one.  It makes me reminisce..... btw..is Thom ripping in the guitar on this piece?

  • This song grips my soul and shakes it around! Amazing use of percussion!

  • amazing!!!!!

  • I close my eyes when I listen to this song anyway

  • Rubbish video but awesome song.

  • I didn't really like this cover the first time I heard it but watching the video makes it much more meaningful. Thanks!

  • dont like the video at all but the song is still amazing.

  • brilliant!!!

  • The next person that comments after this is gay.

  • This is the best cover of a song since Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt".

  • ha. my only beef with that hurt cover is that it doesn't have the big crash at the end. i always felt like the whole purpose of that song was to build up to the big crash at the end. without it i feel like . . . what's the point?

  • Hey Shoutfactory, why was this video compressed from side to side? The video was shot as widescreen...the YouTube video player is widescreen...so why do we have to watch the officially-posted video all distorted?

  • love how the guitar plays against the drum machine loop in the mix.

  • I actually really like this video. I was particularly impressed by the cinematography and editing, which were just brilliant!

  • great song and cause, but the video just doesn't hold up. Poorly written and acted, predictable plot devices, etc. No offense intended - I just find the video lacking for such an otherwise great undertaking.

  • agreed

  • Brilliant! Exceptional cover of an exceptional song. Having attended University in New Haven in the late 80s, I had the immense pleasure of seeing Mark and Miracle Legion many times. This video opens the floodgates to so many wonderful memories, Toads Place, The Grotto, B-11, Davenport Café, The Gypsy Bar, The Moon, The Nightshift and the incredibly rich music scene at that point in time. Bravo to Thom & Andy for creating such a amazing tribute.

  • why thank you for telling me, robot! ^^

  • the start is very Album Leaf, if you ask me...

    Always nice when Thom makes something new... :)

  • This song makes me teary eyed.

  • It's nice we finally get to hear the Yorke brothers sing together!

  • Great version of a great song.

  • Nice. Who plays guitar on this?

  • Its not radiohead, its Thom Yorke feat. Andy Yorke.

  • Andy yorke? sister?

  • Brother. xDD

  • Nice. =]

  • I'm having a hard time understanding Radiohead's and Thom Yorke's progression in their art

  • no one understands his progression that what makes it amazing

  • Too bad, try Nickelback
