  • is this anyone elses favorite song ever?

  • @akalashay yeah I listen to it every day

  • @sonicadv27 I think you don't have to look that hard for good music, there are so much good local bands. I don't know where you're from, but I live in France and I know a very lot of unkown bands which make damn good music.

    Maybe you'd enjoy my band, White Note ! It was called "Sigur Ros & Radiohead bastard's child" :) You can check it on whitenote(dot)fr or fb/whitenotetheband

  • Came here from a Nick Drake - Parasite clip.

  • are you kidding me with these fucking commercials youtube/google?

  • Comment removed

  • I love the echoing drumbeat. I know the rhythms of Radiohead are being digested by my children with heartfelt delight.

  • fuck ok computer is my favorite album of all time

  • @devin4410 Ever for me..

  • Ugh this song is so angelic.

    Please check out my cover of "Lotus Flower" on my page if you get a chance :) you won't regret it!

  • This is one of those albums that just get better and better with time, like Pink Floyd. Even the songs that I wasn't crazy about on this album several years ago have earned a special place of affection for me. Nobody else is writing songs quite like these...

  • Why don't aliens ever abduct ME??

  • Dear god I hope they play this song this year at coachella...

  • music back in the 90s was really inspiring and quite delightful for the ears unlike nowadays .. both English and Spanish music have gone into a deep collapse

  • @dgaagjezeken Dude, you must be listening to the wrong music. Music now a days is just as awesome as back then. You must just be missing it.

  • @xRed24x as awesome as back then? Not really.

  • @xRed24x it really depends on what you mean by "music". He's probably talking about mainstream music, which really is a piece of shit today. Other than that, it's pretty good too, i agree.

    There's always been good music, but it's really hard to find these days, unless you really look for it.

  • @dgaagjezeken i agree but if you look in the underground area, music is very much alive but you're right you will never find anything good within the surface of America anymore

  • @BODOMmETALwolF alive doesn't mean awesome

  • @dgaagjezeken by alive i mean msuicians who actually apply themselves for being talented and creative, you don't have to like it but talent is there.

  • @dgaagjezeken Dude! Radiohead made my favorite album in 2007, How can you say music has decreased in quality. Listen to other artists and you'll learn to appreciate the new century's music.

  • @dgaagjezeken si no le contesto

  • @dgaagjezeken this album is the dark side of the moon of the 90's

  • @TomThumbsBlues1965 Dark Side Of The Moon is the OK Computer of the 70's

  • radiohead is the shit but you know how i know your gay? ............... you listen to coldplay

  • @Davenation2011 Go cut yourself you emo! BTW i think RH is the shit too!

  • COLDGAY SUCKS BIG FLOPPY DONKEY DICK

  • @Davenation2011 Back up your statement. I know a lot about music, and I could say that coldplay and Radiohead are both amazing bands. They both have their own unique way of composing music...

  • @Davenation2011

    LMAO about donkey dick but why the constant comparisons with these 2 bands? Just curious why the random controversy...they're nothing alike.

  • Um...I dont know bout you guys, but Coldplay and Radiohead are both awesome. it's just that Radioheads more experienced.

  • @fus3ification I have listened to all of their albums (except for their most recent one) and that's why I'm very vocal about their shittiness. I would never make up my mind on a band after only hearing one song.

  • @myironl77 Sure you did... sure you did. Because when i don't like a band i usually listen to all their albums. That can only be logical.

  • 14 people are uptight.

  • I just had an ear orgasm

  • fucking. amazing.

  • OK COMPUTER BACK-OFF

  • This reminds me of my journey through Ireland lands...

  • everyone STFU...i like Coldplay, but they and Radiohead can't be even put in the same box!!!

  • This song is from the best album ever in my opinion :)

  • @derby1980toysfigure This song was on Hall & Oates' Greatest Hits?

  • all time fav song, wish I could play like that

  • All this fighting is what's making us homesick aliens more homesick. :(

  • best song titel ever

  • There's to many gay bum sex lords on here with their retarded comments, don't ruin a good song.

  • It just feels like walking in winter at early morning

  • These guys are the closets to pink floyd......

  • @goodvibesallround Either you spelled "closest" wrong, or that is one analogy I'll never understand.

  • @skylineiiigtr Really.....that's the most intelligent thing you have to say "uhhh you spelled closest wrong" i'm sorry you'll have to forgive my human error. Your parents must be so proud.

  • @goodvibesallround Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics, even if you win your still retarded

  • @WutDfuzz Wow how many times have you stolen that line.....

  • @WutDfuzz You're*

  • @cbappa2 lmao, you corrected my spelling on my response to someone complaining about someone correcting their spelling.

  • Jimi Hendrix: And up in the clouds I can imagine UFO's jumpin themselves,

    Laughin they sayin,

    Those people so uptight, they sure know how to make a mess

    TY: And up above, aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home

    of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits

    drill holes in themselves, and live for the secrets

    Great minds think alike :-)

  • @abetrasken Actually, Johnny Greenwood wrote this one

  • it's just music guys. if you like it, cool. if you don't, that's cool too. but, do you think i honestly give a shit about any of your opinions? i'm tired of coldplay verse radiohead. without radiohead, there would be no coldplay. no shut the fuck up and listen to the song.

  • You are all stupid and have no musical taste or respect for the art of each artist. I think its so funny when all of you people fight with each other like little bitches. Just shut up and enjoy the music.

  • Ah, fuck. I'm listen to this song everyday now!

  • @thedescent666

    I love it that you are losing it over this song! ME TOO!!

  • @simonbenjinewport35 Such a beautiful song.

  • @thedescent666

    It's pretty close to perfection :)

  • @simonbenjinewport35 Fuck, I don't what song I like more now! This one or Airbag!!!!!!! DAMN!

  • @thedescent666

    Holy shit...are we twins or what??? I was thinking the same thing. The thing is, I heard all of these songs years ago and just kind of liked them. Now I am like YEAHHHHH!!!

  • @simonbenjinewport35 Yeah, this is my first time hearing this album. Great album, but Airbag and this one really stand out for me. Maybe I like Airbag more because of the bass track.

  • @thedescent666

    I LOVE the bass in that! I play the bass guitar, or at least try to.

  • @simonbenjinewport35 It's so simple. E G E G A, but he does it at such a weird timing. The bass in this song is great too, but I think Airbag has a better bass track. I play bass too:D

  • @thedescent666

    I JUST got my own bass today!! I used to use my ex's-that's how I learned. This is so weird that we have never met yet we hear and like the same sounds. I just printed off the tab for this song and Airbag yesterday. It doesn't matter that it's simple b/c it sounds sooo good!

  • @simonbenjinewport35 I need to fix my bass. So many problems with it. Yeah, I wish someone I knew could have to same feeling about this song like you and I.

  • I think I'm in love with this song. Never thought I would love a Radiohead song so much.

  • The only thing about Coldplay is that they were created because of The Bends (High and Dry especially).Honestly, I think Coldplay are great,even though I consider Mylo Xyloto to be overproduced and pretty bad

  • I wish this song was about 20 minutes long

  • Radiohead should all beat Thom in a dark alley, until he starts writing songs this good again. Cause no-one else can get him to stop fucking round on his lap-top.

  • @lordmalberry I like his current music...he evolved and started moving along,I suggest you do the same :)

  • @lordmalberry

    haha! well put. i still very much enjoy everything off in rainbows, and there was nice stuff on king of limbs. but i agree. there is something darkly ferocious about the ok computer recordings, and i think thats partly because of the focus being on live instruments, with digital stuff in the background. Nowadays, its the opposite: very little guitar work, with an emphasis on digital sounds.

  • @lordmalberry in rainbows and the king of limbs were good. it's good they don't have the same sound all the time

  • @lordmalberry Codex, Staircase, The Daily Mail, and Give Up The Ghost, are in fact this good. Actually, TKOL as a whole is awesome. And even when he's fucking around on his laptop, he's making righteous music, which is better than what we're doing with ours.

  • Comment removed

  • @lordmalberry ROFL WHAT

  • @lordmalberry he's moving along with time, rather than standing still and living in the past. music is moving towards a new synthesizer based future, and I believe he's cashing in on that, while also bringing in stuff like Codex and Give up the Ghost to let everyone know that it's still the same band, just moving forward. i do agree with you though, I preferred In Rainbows to TKOL, it just sounded better.

  • Can everyone please stop the bitching? Coldplay is my favorite band, and Radiohead is up there as well. I respect every thing about this amazing album, but I'm not interested in dissing Coldplay.

  • is it just me or the intro 00:00 - 00:09 sounds sooo much like diablo 2?

  • Comment removed

  • @Josekcc

    Diablo II came out in 2000

    OK Computer came out in '97.

    The intro to Diablo II sounds like the intro to this song.

  • @CRaZYpOpTaRToo hahaha first, it doesn't sound like the intro of diablo. Second, yeah , wasn't trying to say that radiohead did the awesome song from some game, is just that remind me so much of diablo, i was aware of when wich one came out. :)

  • @Josekcc

    You know what I was trying to say, bro :o

  • hey my friend thank you so much for share this unreal song, i had learn guitar by playing radiohead's songs (^o^)

  • Has anyone seen Super 8? This song should've been played during the end credits -- it would fit perfectly.

  • @talk45 that movie sucked too much to grace this enchanted ballad on it.

  • @talk45 Thats weird I was just about to comment that the alien on Super 8 was a Subterranean homesick alien! That's crazy.

  • @talk45 Ok this is even weirder, I'm listening to the song and he says in the lyrics "Makin home movies for the folks back at home" toooooo weird. Subterranean homesick alien , home movies, theres super 8 in a nutshell. I liked the movie but It damn sure wasn't a good alien flick, just a good movie about being young.

  • @Riftkidthewizard Yep. The screenwriter or the director were definitely listening to this song when they made the film. That's the only way to explain it.

  • I love the irony of telling people to 'shut the fuck up' in a 'comments' section.

  • @ConfusedProud Almost as good as the numerous people who like to come on these videos and tell other people that their opinions are wrong.

  • Thom Yorke is such an amazing lyricist.

  • coldplay sucks

  • @pikeflyfisherman if coldplay is pushing the boundaries of music, then i'm the queen of england. They are no way near as big as radiohead, and i'm not talking record sales, i'm talking artistic achievement.

  • @pikeflyfisherman You must be clinically insane comparing Coldplay to Radiohead.

  • @pikeflyfisherman Ok you must be on a wind up. I will leave you to it.

  • @pikeflyfisherman I think you are seriously brain dead. Coldplay are not pushing boundaries. They make the same bland shit over and over. They have zero creativity and Martin is a horrendous lyricist. They don't even have half the critical acclaim of RH and they are one of the most hated bands in the world.

  • @myironl77 it's because Coldplay is not like Radiohead.Coldplay doesn't have balls to try to discover new sounds and new aspects like Radiohead. They know what they are capable of and they still stick to their roots. That is not a bad thing about the artist. Iam a Coldplay fan but the fact is very clear: Coldplay doesn't have shits on Radiohead. However, that is not reason to hate Coldplay really.

  • @myironl77 OMG. SHUT THE FUCK UP! And listen to the song.

  • @myironl77 Man I think I love you. You're the first person I know that says Coldplay are just boring and not really original. I can't stand those guys, let's face they try to copy RH but they terribly fail at it

  • @myironl77 Can we just get over this whole Coldplay/Radiohead bullshit? Yes they are very similar, but I don't think they're copying either of each other. Music is music, it's meant to be enjoyable, not some petty competition or argument.

    Shut up everybody and listen to what you like. It's okay to dislike Radiohead, and its okay to dislike Coldplay. It's okay to like both too. You're all so fucking immature.

  • @myironl77 To be fair, people will hate ANYTHING that is mainstream/popular regardless of what it is. If Radiohead or any great was overly popular, a good and noticable majority will hate it

  • @myironl77 There's these magical things called "opinions". I heard everyone has them. Weird, huh?

  • @myironl77 Who the fuck are you to say coldplay "make the same bland shit over and over"? Did you even hear half their music or are you just basing on their latest albums like viva la vida? The king of limbs wasn't a hit either that i know of or was it? I don't like dubstep but i don't run arround on youtube saying dubstep is shit because i didn't give it a chance. So if you don't like coldplay keep it to yourself because I love this music and you just made me not want to listen to it

  • @fus3ification mmm you smell that? it's the sweet smell of denial.

  • @CowieMooCowxo87 Your comment only show's that you did not read my whole comment or maybe you didn't get it. Either way i don't wan't to get in fights over the internet... Just saying that if youre gonna trash a band at least do it after listening to all their albums not only to their mainstream songs. I'm pretty sure there are people who think RH is shit just because of the king of limbs what is a wrong thing to do. Not saying i didn't like that album though.

  • @myironl77 Not a huge fan of Coldplay either, but it's retarded to call them one of the most hated bands in the world. The population of every Radiohead and Muse message board on the internet doesn't constitute "the world". Just because they aren't insanely creative and talented doesn't mean they aren't entertaining, and it certainly doesn't mean people don't like them.

  • @UltraMegaSuperPhil You pretty much took the words outta my mouth. I hope myironl77 reads your post!

  • @myironl77 That is utter BS. Coldplay is one of best bands out there. None of their albums sound the same b/c they constantly create new genres for themselves. Not saying coldplay is better than radiohead or vice versa, but to say coldplay is one of the "most hated bands" is completely ridiculous and just means u have never listened to their best songs

  • @TheStrokesofSC No, they're a horrible band and I don't take away anything I've said about them. You have to be smoking something if you honestly think they've invented any new genres. If you enjoy their music, then good for you.

  • @TheStrokesofSC

    >Coldplay

    >one of the best bands out there.

    Wtf am I reading?

  • @TheStrokesofSC i have listened to all coldplay albums, except last five.

  • @pikeflyfisherman You may like ROBTTH better, but technically OKC is superior -- in sound, quality, etc.

  • @TheBoredPole Yes, just yes. And you know its true.

  • @pikeflyfisherman No. Just no.

  • EVERYONE STFU ABOUT SHUTTING THE FUCK UP

  • Regarding YouTube comments: Coldplay are to Radiohead vids as Justin Bieber is to every other music vid on YouTube. And I'm contributing to that with this very post }:-)

  • trippy........

  • I used to listen to this on a fucking discman at school, i stole the cd to my stephdad who never listened to it.

  • Radiohead is great and all, but they're not the only band that can play this style of music well, you people act as if anything that even remotely shares this spacey and dreamy sound is copying Radiohead? How ignorant, you could just as soon turn around and say that Radiohead blatantly copies the style of bands like Pink Floyd. Does that mean they're "unoriginal garbage"? I think you would disagree. So, they're great and all, but not the first to play stuff like this.

  • I love this song. Its a shame no one else can stick to the topic.

  • I like how on Radiohead videos there are comments about Coldplay, but on Coldplay vids there are no comments about Radiohead. It's sort of pathetic that Radiohead fans have nothing to talk about except Coldplay. Why can't we talk about how awesome their music is? Or is that too difficult to do?

  • Everyone just shut the fuck up and listen to the song.

  • @youboxer Thank you!

  • @youboxer preach on brother!

  • Happy Birthday Jonny Greenwood (November 5)

  • @PullingTeeth1 Oh, I see you meant he covered the song. Nevermind;)

  • @PullingTeeth1 I think you mean Nick Drake not Beck.

  • if my life had a theme song. this would be it.

  • @redpaul79 I came across the Beck version recently and i have to agree with the previous poster the songs are similar.

  • id tell all my friends but theyd never believe me, theyd think that id finally lost it comletely...........but id be alright

  • Why is everyone talking about other people talking about Coldplay?

  • @FeedbackVoice Coldplay are English too as far as i know... lol

  • @8BitMunky Partridge reference. I'm not retarded.

  • Why are people always talking about Coldplay? Oh yeah, because youtube is full of fucking idiots. Stop talking about American things and let's watch the greatest film of all time!

  • @FeedbackVoice yeah buddy, they're British. but yeah all of these Coldplay comments are way out of place

  • @FeedbackVoice American things...? What the fuck does Coldplay have to do with America?

  • why is every one talking on coldplay hardly?:D::D:D

  • where's the love button?

  • "I'd give my left testicle to write something as good as OK computer"

    -Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay.

  • @antisadism Wow, he said that? x)

    I used to like Coldplay (The Scientist era, great song), but now they're getting too commercial for my taste... :(

  • @8BitMunky I agree, I liked most of Viva La Vida and their prior, but starting with the early release of Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, and then Mylo Xyloto I was really let down, too bad.

  • @antisadism Coldplay? Maybe he could make something this good if he came up with some original material instead of spending all of his time ripping off bands like Radiohead and Kraftwerk.

  • @Plan9wood Ive listened to OK computer and A Rush of blood to the head many times, and they sound nothing alike. Ripping off to me means stealing riffs. If they arent doing that, then who cares.

  • I'd love to swim in an ocean and listen to this while my underwater friends come to say hello.

  • this song is arguably based on the song 'Parasite' by Nick Drake, search it. That's not a complaint or whatever by the way, I fucking love both of them.

  • I've read into your post - exchange a bit earlier and after much thought, I feel like I have a guess at just what you were doing around here;

    Presenting the alienation this thought provoking music is about - in the alternative art form of threads of comments!

    I bow before your inventive genius that revealed itself in the creation of such a meaningful afterlife for an already great artistic performance.

    And if you sense some irony here, maybe I have joined the alienation...

    or is that possible?

  • So much fighting.

  • the best Radiohead dreamy song...so wonderful!

  • Just because songs sound similar don't mean they're ripped off. All artists have to get their influence from somewhere, if you didn't know.

  • Thom Yorke got taken up with them and they showed him the meaning of life.. thats why he's so chill and laid back with his music.. he don't worry bout it..

  • Radiohead can make beautiful songs without making poppy like every other band/artist.

  • i feel like collins bass would be better if he added sum distortion to compete with jonny and ed who are the two main reasons he never gets noticed.

  • @nigelchitownking I think their producer is the reason he never gets noticed

  • @nigelchitownking In certain situations bass is made to blend in with the sound; if he wasn't there you'd notice. It's just the type of instrument he plays; that is to say, the way he plays it. It doesn't make him better or worse, I think he's great, albeit there are exceptions where a band is extremely bass heavy (I fear mentioning their name because these comments are all amazing).

  • @adumbbrunch Mention the names.

  • so amazing. you can really hear the pink floyd influence. ironically those are my two favorite bands

  • It's so beautiful...

  • Coldplay is a watered down, mainstreamed, pale imitation of Radiohead. It's Radiohead sucked free of its dark, tormented soul, musical experimentation, and alienation from the mainstream. There. It's settled. For ever. And now everyone can go back to listening to Radiohead.
