This song is really beautiful and manipulative because of how quickly it makes your thoughts cold, nothing has sent me down so much shiver down my spine before.
For those of us who aren't "users," there is a trick to fully enjoying this song:
1: Turn off all the lights in the room you are in
2: Shut your eyes
3: Focus on the music, don't think. Let the music fill you up, swallow you whole. Eventually, there will be nothing but the song itself. You should use headphones/earbuds for the best effect.
After that, if you didn't feel like you were floating, you either did something wrong, or you don't have a soul.
The trick with this song, for those of us who don't do drugs is to:
1:Turn off all the lights in whatever room you are in
2: Shut you eyes
3: Tune out everything but the music...let it fill you, until all that remains is the song. You aren't even there, anymore (use headphones/earbuds for the best effect).
If you don't feel like you're floating after that, then you are either doing something wrong, or you have no soul.
Kid A and Amnesiac are their best albums in my opinion. Not to say that almost everything they do isn't a masterpiece. But Kid A and Amnesiac have to be my favorite albums ever recorded. Such originality, and brilliance.
@Fablerew The first track "You" and the final track "Blow Out" are both superb tracks. I would recomend to download those songs if you don't want to buy the actual album.
Is it true that a lot of Radiohead fans consider Amnesiac their least favorite album? I was shocked at hearing this, because I consider it to be one of their finest, most creative works. I didn't take the CD out of my car for months....
@grantchestermeadows1 Being a Radiohead fan of almost 10 years now I personally don't have a least favorite album. There's genius on every album (even Pablo Honey) and it takes many different forms. From the raw hypnotism of Amnesiac to the infinite layers of TKOL I may gravitate towards one more than the others at any time, but for me it's very hard say overall "favorite" or "least favorite."
@TheRedstormshadow man, it's just a video game. haha. sorry i like giving people a tough time. i've had some great experiences with music and video games too.
I find it pretty annoying to see videos of this band and the only thing to see is Thom´s face, he is gorgeous, but this band is formed y 5 great musicians too, at least the camera should take every instrument when it´s played.
I remember this episode of totp from when i was a kid, i loved this song and i'm sure jonothan ross introduced it and slagged it off, now theres an over rated fellow.
Yes, Thom Yorke wrote the song and so forth, but I personally DON'T think that he realized how this song would impact so many people. I suppose that would be sort of the point of art, where your job or duty, as the artist, is just, or simply, to create.
listen carefully and you will notice that the chords are played on the pattern of a classic 4/4 bossa nova clave...the strange thing is the chord's changing on that pattern
yes it is in 4. for those that know rhythm it has a triplet feel. it is grouped 3 2 3 3 2 3 and then repeated. I am a drummer so I think of it like a swiss with the rrl sticking and each right is a three and each left is a 2. dont over think it. just know that the second note he plays on the piano is not a downbeat it falls on the 3rd partial of a triplet and after you feel that you basically have it. just count from then on.

the syncopation only resolves through in 16 counts. (1) There was nothing to fear and nothing to (8) doub....9...10....11...[.drums syncopating ] 12....13.....14....15.....16
it is more obvious once the drums kick in half way in. 3/4-2/4-3/4-3/4-2/4-3/4 works because it adds to 16 but you can play this correctly by just counting to 16. You rythmically challenged may need to pull off your socks.
Epic! For me Radiohead are the greatest band of their generation. The type of band that come around once in a lifetime and & thank God it was in mine. Thanks for posting.
It's in 4/4. But just about everything is syncopated. Then when Phil comes in... it gets even more confusing. The shorter notes = 1.5 beats, the longer = 2.
correct me if i'm wrong but i counted the beats as an additive subdivision, this is what i got....2,2,3,2,2,2,2,3,2,2...this would make a total cycle worth 22 beats so I'm going to say 11/8, i could be wrong, i'm still a beginner at identifying additive meters. If i am wrong please correct me and explain why I'm wrong....thanx
it's in 4/4 ..... it's counted as a 106bpm rounded Bossa-nova 3-2 Clave rhythm...that's additionally played in compound form....i.e triplets per crochet or quarter note...
sounds difficult.... but the genius as normal is in the simplicity.....
I spent months trying to work that out and then when I heard the 4/4 rhythm on the ride cymbal I was like IT'S JUST 4/4? And then after I though about it it was just 4/4 with a swing, or as you said, triplets, and I kicked myself.
I know.... so did I.... ha ha... it's wonderful when you get it right in your head because I think you can sit back and relax...enjoy the song as it was composed... as an informed listener... and thus more appreciative of the song writing skills used to compose it.
its like meshuggah, 4/4 but it sounds way more complex than it actually is - meshuggah differ of course because they are absolutely CRUSHING, but just as talented..
i don't know how you get 4/4. just because it's at 16-beat figure doesn't make it 4 measures of 4/4. the phrasing of the vocals, the emphases, the kick drum all suggest otherwise. try this on for size: six measures, 3/4-2/4-3/4-3/4-2/4-3/4. count it. the kicks are on the ones. i can even play it perfectly to this scheme. you would think that the 3/4-2/4 combo would really just be 5/8 (i say 5/8 not 5/4 because of the swing), but the phrasing doesn't feel right when i count it that way.
You know i really see what you mean - it can be written as 4/4, to save having to write a different time signature at the start of each bar, but it is much smoother to count the different measures you described while actually playing it.
@birdrs Crdude is correct they subdivide the beats in an additive form which gives it the feeling of an odd time signature, at first i thought it was 11/8 subdivided like this...2,2,3,2,2...i was wrong , u can hear 4/4 if u listen to the high hat, and to me it sounds like this song is polyrhythmic as well.
DrTchockfan you can´t compare music , its like trying to compare feelings, and its worst when you are comparing pink floyd with radiohead , music is relative...your opinion about music doesnt go higher than an opinion...
beard is more man like, unless if the music is not from this planet, then I guess he should be more alien like, if I can say he.. like I just did, I hold on to that of what I say.. :)
always gets me in a lost and lonely mood this song.. its especially going strong when I look in my eyes at the mirror.. so beautiful and intimadating at the same time!
wow is all i can say. and i think he looks ok that he's unshaved. it means that he and they dont care about there image. unlike most other top of the pop acts.
this isnt one of my favorites...but live its amazing...i always liked the song but i still think they have much better...watch morning bell live and try not to piss urself...its impossable
Man I love this song. & oeconomonster--I agree this song makes you feel weird-like a lot of Radioheads other songs. York seems to be in some crazy trance when he sings this. Radiohead will go down in music history (as big as Pink Floyd).
Radiohead is every bit pink floyds equals, if not superiors. They dont have the commercial value that Pink Floyd did but they are every bit as progressive and impressive. I prefer Radiohead. Can anyone Beat Yorke and Greenwood? the only close ones are Lennon McCartney
yea man that's a good point. what i love about pinkfloyd is that you can clearly see the influence threw radioheads music. they are both bands well worth there credit. personally i cant really say who i prefer i guess it depends on the mood im feeling at the time
DrTchockfan you can´t compare music , its like trying to compare feelings, and its worst when you are comparing pink floyd with radiohead , music is relative...your opinion about music doesnt go higher than an opinion...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There is no way that Pink Floyd has more commercial value than Radiohead. Radiohead are great, but they definitely have a much more commercial sound than Pink Floyd. Just look at Pablo Honey and The Bends.
rofl lets not use the term frontman anyways, Radiohead is the greatest, they make everyone else sound like nails down a chalkboard. Thom should get a nobel peace prize.
nothing wrong with unique looking people... God knows we have too many robots out there as it is. Go Thom... Radiohead is still the best band since Nirvana.
once again...i never said he wasnt a good front man. i personally love radiohead and thom yorke. i simply believe that he is an odd looking human being in comparison to the rest of the world's population. please, stop thinking you are some sore of musical and or radiohead expert, because youre not, maybe then we will be able to end this ridiculous corespondence
If it's any concelation - this clip was recorded for TOTP2 - which is an ever so slightly more cooler programme than TOTP because it's written and presented by Steve Wright who has a bit more cred in the music business then Fern Cotton and Reggie!
Now that was quality!

I would thumbs-up this, but then I remembered Pablo Honey existed. Ignoring that, you're right.

even the Sex Pistols lip synched and pretended on Top of the Pops. Bless Radiohead. Probably not overdone enough for the audience though.

I really admire the smaller things about this band as well as the obvious.
Humming/singing while playing piano to such an unusual tempo/beat is pretty awesome.

Man I love this song. & oeconomonster--I agree this song makes you feel weird-like a lot of Radioheads other songs. York seems to be in some crazy trance when he sings this. Radiohead will go down in music history (as big as Pink Floyd).

Radiohead is every bit pink floyds equals, if not superiors. They dont have the commercial value that Pink Floyd did but they are every bit as progressive and impressive. I prefer Radiohead. Can anyone Beat Yorke and Greenwood? the only close ones are Lennon McCartney

yea man that's a good point. what i love about pinkfloyd is that you can clearly see the influence threw radioheads music. they are both bands well worth there credit. personally i cant really say who i prefer i guess it depends on the mood im feeling at the time

DrTchockfan you can´t compare music , its like trying to compare feelings, and its worst when you are comparing pink floyd with radiohead , music is relative...your opinion about music doesnt go higher than an opinion...

There is no way that Pink Floyd has more commercial value than Radiohead. Radiohead are great, but they definitely have a much more commercial sound than Pink Floyd. Just look at Pablo Honey and The Bends.

rofl lets not use the term frontman anyways, Radiohead is the greatest, they make everyone else sound like nails down a chalkboard. Thom should get a nobel peace prize.

Great performance! I almost feel like calling Radiohead a "band" is an understatement, and ye that alternate ending was just beautiful!.

if radiohead wasnt so good, thom yorke would be one goofy looking motherfucker
madhatta6427 3 years ago
nothing wrong with unique looking people... God knows we have too many robots out there as it is. Go Thom... Radiohead is still the best band since Nirvana.

I know but you said Thom Yorke would be a one goofy looking motherfucker. I think you have no idea about a good front man. FY
Lukas1992y 3 years ago
once again...i never said he wasnt a good front man. i personally love radiohead and thom yorke. i simply believe that he is an odd looking human being in comparison to the rest of the world's population. please, stop thinking you are some sore of musical and or radiohead expert, because youre not, maybe then we will be able to end this ridiculous corespondence

Get madhatta's cock out of your mouth, Thom does not suck, just coz you do not like him, doesnt mean that he sucks, mindless idiot....
ShinyGoldenNipplz 3 years ago
You don't understand it. madhatta6427 never said he wasn't good.
But who is a good frontman, when Thom is a bad one???
I think Thom Yorke is one of the best Frontmen.

If it's any concelation - this clip was recorded for TOTP2 - which is an ever so slightly more cooler programme than TOTP because it's written and presented by Steve Wright who has a bit more cred in the music business then Fern Cotton and Reggie!
