arpeggi/ weird fishes with orchestra (better audio)

[MrObviouslyJesus]

Because the video is 4:3 and the audio is so crisp, I thought I was listening to some Owl City shit for a split second when the audio came in lol. Great sound, though.

And the Thom stare at the beginning is great.

[AYellowSpark]

I love the way this guy sings. He's free.. i Hope someday i could be like him in some aspects.

[ptitedel]

this really makes me want to dive in the blue waters to its deepest end and watch in awe all the glowing sea creatures swim around me .. this is dreamy stuff and the orchestra add such drama to this song..its very beautiful very peaceful

[GoodApolloImSteve]

Whatever Thom's doing with his hands... It's amazing.

[DylanQuenneville]

@jibblychupos See the Beatles.

[BON3SHAK3R]

What a mess of sound and too bloody loud.........Thom cant even get onto the timing

[coolabananers]

Sometimes it's wierd how Radiohead fans can have such a rude attitude to some people. You should know better.

[raaaak]

@coolabananers who was that aimed @?

[coolabananers]

@raaaak I was thinking about those who still complaining about what jibblychupos said. I think he already gets it. Can't see whats the point of still telling him how stupid he was by saying that thing. Just leave it.

[raaaak]

@coolabananers yeah I agree

[TheBrazenHell]

hate to be troll and a douchebag But I thought the title for orchestra are Arpeggi? And the title lifted off for In Rainbows?

[raaaak]

@TheBrazenHell  Arpeggi was the working title for the track, so called as it comprises mainly of arpeggios which is when each note in the chord is played one after another

[TheBrazenHell]

I'm digging this. :D I fall in love with Weird Fishes..... And definitely digging this.

[MrNickMMM]

Wow, Thom.

What have you been drinking?

[Crossss8]

I'm a fan of pretty much everything Radiohead and this is one of my favorite songs, but I really didn't care for this orchestra version

[queerp]

i'm a huge radiohead fan, and thom yorke fan. and yes i know he has a unique style live and often looks funny. but he's managed to look full on retarded in this video. :) impressive ;)

[indatrashkan]

I absolutley adore the Ondes...

[egge5027]

I thought that was Matt Bellamy until I heard talent. J/K

[manuelgui15]

I will follow Thom 'till the end of the earth...and fall off...

[jarbear]

This sounds very close to Steve Reich, which is always a good thing. Love Radiohead.

[cruzer619]

would I give the world just to been there to witness brilliance...best song ever written

[jrowbott]

this reminds me of imogen heap. particularly her song 'cumulus'

[cbrandom]

Air Piano is the new Air Guitar

[thesuthix]

@cbrandom yeh i cansee yorkes hands at times? hes playing the air piano

[OCIRELCNU]

this takes a couple of listens but it is good as fuck

[jibblychupos]

This song is a rip off of Muse's Exogenesis Symphony. Muse were the first to use orchestra in their songs..

[raaaak]

@jibblychupos oh my god you're right! Muse used an orchestra too! The only rational explaination is that Radiohead heard that and time traveled to five years earlier when this was recorded

[CaptainPengu]

@raaaak don't feed the troll bro :(

[raaaak]

@CaptainPengu which one's the troll?

[CaptainPengu]

@raaaak the one who said that arpeggi was a rip-off of Muse's Exogenesis.

he's had a history of doing this.

[raaaak]

@CaptainPengu I really wasn't sure if he was joking but he genuinely believes that then thats quite cute really

[mobytoss]

@raaaak He's mocking all the Radiohead fans who said Muse were ripping off Radiohead for the last decade, I presume

[amnesiac42]

@raaaak yes and P. Glass was there too ... lol

[ericmcq3121]

@jibblychupos

Muse, collectively, could not hold up Thom Yorke's right testicle. Get the hell out of here.

[cbrandom]

@jibblychupos Just just got served, you Muse lover. Go listen to those Radiohead imposters. Cunt.

[rastacastro]

@jibblychupos uhm... wrong by more than 5 years, mate. The Beatles used Orchestras in their songs too... not a new phenom by any means...

anyway this doesn't sound like a traditional orchestra... more like the experimental composer whose name I can't spell but starts with a G

[magicstar911]

@rastacastro

it reminds me alot of steve reich..

[rastacastro]

@jibblychupos uhm... so wrong mate, by more than 5 years... forgetting for the moment that Resistance came out after in rainbows or that RH shops their songs arund for years... neither band is the first to use orchestras... The Beatles for exmple... All You Need is Love, Good Night...

That being said, Thom and Jonny are playing with an experimental orchestra, not a traditional one...

[FatherFakkers]

@jibblychupos Bozo. Metallica did with symphoni when Muse wrote their first album... Many bands do with orchestra. By the way - Radiohead had orchestra on kid A (2008) Resistance was released 2009...

I love Muse aswell - but dont f''k with Thom Yorke or Radiohead!

[FLyAgaric421]

@FatherFakkers Kid A was released in the year 2000 bozo. 

[FatherFakkers]

@FLyAgaric421 and as you can see I corrected myself 1 minute later.... bad on the keys...

[FatherFakkers]

@jibblychupos Bozo. Metallica did with symphoni when Muse wrote their first album... Many bands do with orchestra. By the way - Radiohead had orchestra on kid A (2000) Resistance was released 2009...

I love Muse aswell - but dont f''k with Thom Yorke or Radiohead!

SORRY OFCOURSE I MEANT THAT KID A WAS RELEASED 2000.....

[y3k23k]

@jibblychupos dude omg ur so right so i guess j.s. bach, vivaldi and hayden all ripped off muse too! what assholes we must get the word out!

[SugarOver]

@jibblychupos ummm... actually there are heaps of sixties records wich combine pop, folk, psichedelia, hard rock... and orchestral stuff... for fucks sake, the moody blues made an album that was completely orchestral!!!!

[tolla02]

@jibblychupos idiot

[SpencerC]

@jibblychupos You dont deserve to be a Muse fan! Get out.

[iceinacup]

@jibblychupos hey genius, look up a day in the life by this band called the BEATLES .

[godistv]

@jibblychupos HahahaHAHAAHAhahAHaaHAHAHAAHAH­AHa. Muse... What is that?.

[csiew88]

@jibblychupos Exogenesis Symphony = 2009.... Weird Fishes/Arpeggi = 2005

[Thedahdumdum]

@jibblychupos also people have been using orchestras in their songs for 100s of years.

[RadiotapeStar]

@jibblychupos You sir, are a brilliant troll.

[JFguitar22]

WOW...wtf..this is amazing Thom Yorke you're a genius

[stefanwanigatunga23]

Props to Thom for keeping singing in time with all that.

[WickedLiquid]

I can appreciate this since it's the only version. But I think this could've used a lot more practise. A lot of it sounds out of time, I dunno if it's just me, or the fact I'm so used to the album version. I would've liked to see this set to the album version, I think it would be brilliant. The violin on Ed's back-up vocals sounds magical.

[raaaak]

@WickedLiquid i can see why you might think its out of time but its just because its in an unconventional time signiture. even on the album version whilst the drums are standard 4/4 if you listen to the guitar, it's something different. I think its good they experiment with timing and rhythm. '15 step' is in 5/4 timing and most people won't notice while 'the pyramid song' sounds like an odd timing but actually its 4/4 with an irregular rhythm pattern.

[raaaak]

@thenoisecode really, what was the point in saying that?

[raaaak]

@thenoisecode well i didnt make a needlessly cunty comment in response to a perfectly reasonable post

[raaaak]

@thenoisecode fuck sake it's like talking to a tumour

[joandino]

this is just beutifull !!!

[darren1naudi]

You may wish to see their performance of this song in their 2008 concert in Tokyo. If one was to listen to it blinfolded you would think it is the studio-recoreded version from a cd. It's very hard for any singer to achieve such ability to perform live. And moreover, Radiohead do it constantly. Every performance I have seen of theirs has been outstanding.

[darren1naudi]

I agree with ChesterAtsuka. Very accurate way of putting it. How he does it is probably due to the fact that Radiohead is one of those bands who have spent more time singing live in concerts than they did in recording-studios.Infact their success is the result of their numerous and constant performing, unlike many other artists who begin to perform live concerts after they have already become established. This is a band that is unique not only the their style of music but in everything else.

[ChesterAsucka]

11 dislikes?!

[ChesterAsucka]

@ darren1naudi

I totally agree. Not to contradict you, or to be overly precise in an eggheaded fashion (or to sound pretentious), but I always felt that it was how Thom Yorke let his imperfections in his voice seep through that made it just right or faultless (other singers I can think of like Chino, Beth Gibbins, or Neil Young during his live concerts, could also make singing off key sound so right with their voices). Honesty and sincerity to the absolute, I believe, can make a flaw faultless.

[Allinred]

@ChesterAsucka Yes, Nina Simone personifies this.

[darren1naudi]

purely faultless vocalist

[Dave12815]

so epic

[TheStratKid]

He is a creep.

But he is a genius.

[Sm3gH3adx]

this is too beautiful, more orchestral work PLEASE

if you guys are interested in some of jonny's orchestral work then check my videos : D

[MsDBrando]

He always feels really satisfaction with orchestra!!! So much powerfully!!!

[myphoneisretro]

the end is epic :)

[burnsideisback]

He is quite literally god on this earth. Makes my ears cry.

[PaoloLegnetti]

Enough of this guy already...

[theringodd]

This was 2 years before In Rainbows was actually released, so technically this would be the 'original'.

[vicprobey]

pretty shitty

[Monketsabande]

don't like this orchestration. prefer the original one...

[raaaak]

@Monketsabande this is the original

[treefingers1206]

@raaaak This was the first version, right? At least the first to leak...

[raaaak]

@treefingers1206 yeah, this is the first known performance from 2005

[nomandalaespaciadora]

@Monketsabande

esta version es mucho mas volada que la que hacen habitualmente.

[madhav05]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

that's awesome!

[Stillillgal]

crazy timing!!!! wow

[mrzipdisk]

the guy playing the argeggio part is fucking up the time : ( whatever man ITS RADIOHEAD- Its ok to fuck up

[karayav]

q wn mas seko! xD

[Hansdampf86]

just great!

[foolery15]

the only one that ever compared radiohead to muse was the hype machine trying to sell muse. i was turned on to muse by a person that said that they were like radiohead, and i spent five minutes listening to "supermassive black hole" trying to find common ground. if anything, muse is the common ground between queen and (insert prog rocker here) and the NIN and marylin manson crowd. radiohead is...oh, come on, other people are radiohead at this point, beginning with hail to the thief.

[ChablesMan]

1:09 Thom sees you...

[RaveyRaveyClub]

Muse is Radiohead for poor people.

[EPidemic489]

@RaveyRaveyClub Don't necessarily agree with ya, but DAMN this is funny! :D

[MichelMolko92]

Hermoso!! simplemente eso....RADIOHEAD IS LIFE

[basisti94]

Why the fuck people are fighting abou Muse and Radiohead here?? They are completely different bands and they are both awesome. They is no freaking reason to compare them..

[ffff734]

perfect !

[ceridawn]

wow that was lovely!

[roosterhake]

where did you get the mp3 to sync it to the video?

[freakintom]

why are people always comparing muse and radiohead? they're two completely different styles, and they've both very good at what they do. just because they're both two incredibly successful bands from the UK doesn't mean one of them is worse than the other, so shut the fuck up

[Jobizzie]

Muse is like radiohead for people who can't appreciate the awesomeness of the real radiohead.

[Carlosmr1984]

It's really awesome! I wonder, if they got together with Philipp Glass, what kind of music those guys would create?!?!?! - The Orchestra Section reminded me a Philipp Glass composition, one of his symphonies, the Heroes Symphony...

Anyhow, this is PURE GOLD!

[radioheadyorke]

@Carlosmr1984 Thom, Damien Rice and Philipp Glass just made a soundtrack for a Documental Movie.

[rossovg]

Oh...that was pretty.

[brkyrfaze]

I wish Radiohead would do more orchestral stuff. Radiohead makes you think "How does it get any better?" and then they release a new album that completely answers the question.

[InesPower]

You were so lucky to see this!

[raaaak]

you're not doing it properly

[chojuancho]

@raaaak Oh please!!! We all here got it... Rdiohead is the best band ever, no matter how other people feel about Muse, 50 Cents or what ever they listen to. The real big difference might be if compare those so called stars with this musical black hole, where all the physics' rules are still very far away.

[raaaak]

@chojuancho I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I was trying to be deliberately over-analytical in a tounge in cheek way because i'm getting tired of these sorts of comparisons. I wouldn't even say that Radiohead are my favourite band but they are right up there.

[hjh360]

radiohead is like having sex...

[EchoPoint1]

"if Muse is a star, Radiohead is the moon"

"if Muse is a moon, Radiohead is the sun."

The sun is a star..

[raaaak]

I see you live up to your username, EchoPoint

[EchoPoint1]

no but hes contradicted himself saying that muse and radiohead are the same :L

[patwow]

@EchoPoint1 His point is the magnitude. Not the composition. If I said "If Muse is a Midget, Radiohead is Shaq" you wouldn't say "BUT THEY'RE BOTH MAMMALS!"

[raaaak]

@patwow You've set sir off again. The point is that 'star' is the noun that already encompasses the magnitude of the Sun rendering the simile utterly superfluous, added to the fact that stars generally have a mass as great or even greater than our sun, its just they are thousands of light years away. The analogy you have given fails because 'Mammal' is actually the encompassing term whereas 'Midget' and 'Shaq'? are not. The only thing wrong with echopoint is that he literally has echoed a point

[Matr64]

@EchoPoint1 then radiohead is the galaxy (:

[FIDELANTIC26]

@EchoPoint1 muse is shit

[spy13]

haunting

[davemorphine]

high fidelity first class emotional trip

[Recovrd1]

3:51 !!!! Oh my, this is so amazing!

ftw

[Tengent]

I've never seen a minimalist composer before. I like it.

[raaaak]

Yeah it is scientifically but also surely moon would come second to star anyway, even in this proverbial sense. Also was it your intention to mention Muse 9 times in one post whilst complaing about the amount of times they are being mentioned?

[asbani911]

Stop bringing up Muse when there's radiohead playing in here, seriously. Get this. Muse can never, ever reach Radiohead's level of genuisity, even tho Muse is my 2nd best band, but when you bring up Radiohead, I have radiohead at 10, Muse at 5 from 10, even tho Muse is my 2nd, imagine that.

if Muse is a tiger, Radiohead is a Lion.

if Muse is a pretty girl, Radiohead is an angel.

if Muse is a star, Radiohead is the moon.

if Muse is a moon, Radiohead is the sun.

[ironbell56]

@asbani911 the sun is a star. FAIL

[asbani911]

@ironbell56 yea scientifically it is, but you know what i mean man, come on now

[winduonline]

its not science, its common knowledge unless your a new born baby. Too many people got their minds floating around in the stars .... or is it the suns.

[Recovrd1]

lol

[sichadeb]

HAHAHAHAAHAH

[Sm3gH3adx]

album version of a live performance of this would be cool

[supernova1990]

People even mentioning Muse in relation to a Radiohead video sickens me..

[raaaak]

we are not aMused :-p

[raaaak]

wtf is with all the muse comments. why are they even being discussed?

[retroremo]

very minimalistic love it; genius

[BehindthePlay]

best version of this song by far

[hardlybotched]

i love how he "air-piano's" towards the end :) he's so into his music, i love it

[sterling5587]

amazing. i definitely like this better than the original

[tonito60187]

great video!

[Urazanis]

Great thanks for this video!

[Froy7seven7]

Thom > Matt

[1337w33d]

Matt killed his music with their latest album, in my opinion. I was thoroughly disappointed. ):

[Froy7seven7]

I dont like the new album, maybe 3 songs, unnatural selection, undisclosed desires and uprising. Rest are just, i dunno... weird.... I didnt expect that from Muse. But Radiohead is just so oh amazing :)

[wendel88]

@Froy7seven7 muse will never reach Radiohead..Radiohead is the elite in modern music..muse in not in my mind.

[sneeble1]

@1337w33d you have to work to get into it i found, but i managed to, went to see them live, best night ever

[TheRishiGirl]

This is the best incarnation of the song...in my opinion anyway.

[chrisp1987]

man this song is so hypnotising.

that piano line gets into parts of my brain that lyric cannot.

[Sm3gH3adx]

fucking amazing

[NotureBoy]

how did he know when to come in? i was all swimmin' in bubbles.

[fuzzvid]

To think they are going to do more orchestral music (they could be recording with an orchestra as we speak).

I love both this and Harry Patch.

P.S. I'd like to hear Where Bluebirds Fly from this concert! Is there no video?

[Sm3gH3adx]

@fuzzvid

YES! more orchestrations!

separate note, loved moon trills

[dimesandnickles]

Unbeleivable!

[RidleySS18]

Thom Yorke has such a great internal clock. He comes up with some pretty complex rhythms and never loses himself. really interesting version of this piece I think

[Rirrron]

thought you said 'internal cock' there for a sec

[Luvinhas]

1:12 He Looks Like Matthew Bellamy O.o

[TonyyP87]

no dude u mean matt bellamy looks like thome!!!

[Luvinhas]

yeh xD

[enjoyvinylclub]

Matt Bellamy wishes he could be mistaken for Thom Yorke. Nah just kiddin' I love them both but there is no contest, Thom is way above Matt.

[Luvinhas]

Somene Thumbed me down...I said HE LOOKS LIKE and He does!! That doesnt mean Matt Is better! Matt Is good

Thom Is An real artist and a god o.o

[kissit22uk]

@enjoyvinylclub i agree until u give bellamy a guitar, then it's a different kettle of weird ass fish

[myphoneisretro]

this was way before in rainbows

[Friday9951]

Very Philip Glass...

[boboly33]

Wow!!! Better than the original one!!! =)

[7SnowyNights]

The last minute or so of this is definitely among the most epic things Radiohead have ever done, live or in-studio.

[orwin90]

they forgot the drums

[lilyfrombg]

~~~Little Prince~~~  ...so gentle...

[Dannoneusk91]

...just incredible!!!!!

[capoo124]

I love Thom's facial expression when the violin comes in :)

[escortz007]

how can i get the mp3 on this song?

[corfil281271]

extremely wonderful. wish the audio was better.

[eldientedemaiz]

souds like philip glass ´cause this a minimalist piece of music. both of them, glass and radiohead have shown their close encounter with the "truth" through the beatiful music.

this piece comes from heaven...

[0ct0parr0t]

well said

[icelandickid123]

Absoloutely Beautifull!

First 4minutes i thought it was preatty decent..

at 4:45 i got blown away....

at 5:07 I will never fully understand how music can be so beautifull...

[raaaak]

amr03464697707, I don't think Radiohead are the best band of all time. They could certainly have a place on a disordered list of top five personal favourites of mine, which changes with the British weather . Thats my opinion, does that make me a fag too?

[gillsmcgee411]

apparently

[amr03464697707]

gillsmcgee411 , fuck you and FUCK YOU.

[maxrutc09]

sounds like philip glass

[allie1used1freak]

This is beautiful.

[TheRadiodee]

Love Thom's hair :P

[MarcoVicio]

radiohead = unique

[michomx]

mp3 version ?
