  • i love 2:58 - 3:17 :)

  • Hope he dies? why? I hope you die kkk sry why would you want anyone to kill him or herself for not singing a song as you wanna listen

  • I've just listened to this cover and then I'm falling in love with it. ^_^

  • remembers... 

  • I like the end part the most...the rest is just standard Radiohead :L

  • I love Jamie. He is talented and it's so refreshing to hear something different from your typical pop! And Bath in the background- awesome! :)

  • @MademoiselleJules Funny, Radiohead don't like this song any more because they think it's too mainstream. It's all relative isn't it?

  • @agk971 Yeah, absolutely. A song is just 1 song yet it can cause a very different individual response. I just love the chill out tune!

  • @MademoiselleJules Personally, I prefer the original but I'm not a jazz fan anyway. Still, gotta respect him for playing "something different to your typical pop", actually having talent and- of course- being a Radiohead fan.

  • Just heard this on Jazz FM, This aint really my thing but a really good song none the less.

  • I really can't see how this cover can have haters like it has.

    This is such a good one. Jamie cullum is what wa can call a real musician and not a person who makes shitty commercial songs about dancefloor and stuff like we hear everyday on radio.

  • fucking love this song - i did a live cover of this song - 16 year old kid with a guitar check it out :P

  • I have yet to hear a good radiohead cover.

  • Fuck the haters, this is a fucking great cover! Try singing this and you'll realise how good this cunt is.

  • terrible cover, really awful, hope he dies

  • @CliffRichardsPissSac

    Everybody dies, dick

  • @CliffRichardsPissSac I actually think its better than the original. I would like to hear YOU cover this song, because I bet that is like a big HUGE nightmare.

  • 편안해집니다, 한국 또 왔으면 좋겠다

  • Love at first sight. How amazing voice! How amazing cover!

    Greetings from Chile.

  • This and Brad Mehldau Trio cover for Knives Out are two most amazing Radiohead covers ever made.

  • Not as shite as I thought it would be. Radiohead fans shouldn't be so precious about it - H&D would rank about 79th on the list of great Radiohead songs! Best Radiohead cover I've heard so far is Regina Spektor's No Surprises. Anyone know any better?

  • Whats all this "this is how you do a cover" and making it his own crap. Do you think jamie cullum sat down thinking im gonna do a cover and give it just the right amount of me mixed with the right amount of them. Im gonna make it my own and respect the original artist... blablah. who covers a song without respecting the original? All covers are that you dont cover a song that you hate. This is great but its a cover like all others. (even like it more than the original.)

  • Class!

  • I fell in love with this mans voice when I was in the 5th grade. I remember buying his album at a Barnes & Nobles somewhere in North Carolina. I went up there with my mom because she had a brain tumor and needed to have major surgey at hospital there. During all of this my parents were in the proccess of splitting up. His music gave me the strength I needed to make it through.

  • @UnderHerPillow Wow! You're just a kitten! I'm much older than you (42), and have not come across this kindof talent in a LONG time! It is SO nice to see someone as young as you noticing this guys talent! I wish you well, you seem to be a very smart and observant young lady! Take care!

    Mike from Canada! ..... Peace!

    P.S. Find all the Jamie Cullum you can!

  • this is like a tuxedo's interpretation of a suit

  • irritating on many levels

  • omg no one says the original is better... I've never heard of the original song I've only seen my friends sing it at karaoke.

  • Have you heard Jorge Drexler's cover of this song, it's good

  • This just shits on radiohead, it's so much better

  • @TomH999111 no, just no.

  • @Mikefoot1 hes right. all respect to radiohead, they are beast, but this beats them.

  • Grande Collum!!

  • Hey, where can I find this studio version ? Does it appear on a record or something ? Thanks :).

  • @TheWashingCat It's on the album Pointless Nostalgic :)

  • This guy is fucking epic

  • this song, or this version touches me in heart and soul. it brings back so many memories. and it makes me wanna do so many things. thank you for this wonderful inspiration.

  • He did this cover at his concert here in Iceland and had the whole audience doing three part harmonies. AMAZING!

  • Search for "High and Dry Brennan villines" - sounds much better

  • i like it alot... its very soothing. And even though he will never replace radiohead's original. Its still a good cover.

  • Now THIS is what I call Pure Jazz cover. Anyone saying his version is shit to the original song has shitty knowledge about music.

  • AMAZING!!!!!

  • I hate this cover...he just killed my favorite Radiohead song. I can only hope this song isn't tainted forever by this failed attempt to capture someone else magic!

  • @mandisue3517 I love the Radiohead version, but I couldn't help thinking it would sound better more minimal, it's a powerful song and doesn't need all the sound effects detracting from the vocals; I think both versions are great in their own ways but for me this is a more mellow and soulful version and personally I think that feel is better suited to this song, nomatter who made it or did it first.

  • Just amazing

  • Found this before Radiohead's version. I must say, I think I love this one miles more... Just my opinion... Jamie Cullum! <3

  • @alexoc949 hahahahaha.. someone's an idiot!! :D

  • He sounds like Tony Bennett at the end. What a joke.

  • Boo!

  • Great, realy cool, congratulations

  • I love this version of high and dry

  • One of the greatest covers ever!!!

  • love it!!!!!!!!

  • This song reminds me of 'Smart'. They used to play it whilst showing all the children's artwork they'd sent it. Ah the good ol' days :).

  • His voice is so peacefull

  • I love love love this song!!

    it´s a bit better than the original by radiohead!

    and i´m so happy because i found th piano sheets for this song!

  • That ascending/descending run there at the end of the chorus(1:31, and again after the other choruses) really makes this cover. I love it.

  • Its sad to think that tv show talent show contestants with hardly any talent will have views in the millions and this is barely a quarter of a million....guess only some of us can enjoy this brilliance......

  • Very good cover, but nevertheless I preffer the original

  • id love to hear him sing it with radiohead

  • @elpproductions I'd love to hear just Radiohead sing it.

  • @Zomnificent :)

  • Euphoria!! :) Leaves me HIGH!! :)

  • love love love love love love love this <3

  • hmm..

  • better than the original. in my opinion. sorry head of radio

  • c'est magique

  • I love it 

  • this song reminds me love that I never had

  • I like it more when he sings low but still, he's great whatever he sings =)

  • Comment removed

  • @NeoNaziMexcanJew fucking tell her then, you absolute noob!

  • a cover doesn't have to be just like the original hahaha if it has to be like the original, i guess it's better to listen to the original songs.

  • this is a really good cover of this song :]

  • this is shite. why do people continually ruin radiohead by doing covers. i really dont get it.

  • oh Jamie, przyjedź do Polski!

  • @desputes taaaaaaaaaak!

  • @desputes

    Zgadzam się, i szybko szybko !

  • I always thought the song referred to Evel Kneviel. He was loved by all while he could jump and the whole time his personal life was a shambles. He almost died jumping a few times. This might not seem like a big deal now but I remember watching him when I was a kid and it was amazing.

  • my fav cullum song

  • thats a cool picture. and a great cover...

    I covered this too! tell me what you think!

  • this is just boring...

  • @nicniejeavailable yea this actually isint boring at all, if you listend to the original version and then this one id say jamie cullum did a pretty damn amazing job for turnin it into a jazz cover

  • @RudeBoySka216

    of course i´ve heard the original version, and yes, maybe it is amazing how he changed it... but i like the radiohead version much more. that´s all

  • @nicniejeavailable ok then its not boring

  • dont leave me hiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIg­hhhh don't leave me drYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • woah it's like totally diff.

  • I love this "High and Dry" cover by Jamie Cullum! I want to play this on piano. I can't find sheet music for it however. I could only find the original by Radiohead and Cullum's 2nd cover on "Twentysomething" (For the record, this "High and Dry" is from the "Pointless Nostalgic" album)

  • @BrownBrother27 If you still want it, I can send you the link to download it. I spent a few hours searching for it, it was hard to find!

  • @Mysoulismusic333

    Please and thank you :-)

  • I'm debating whether I like this version or the original better.

  • I think I like this version even better. I just love to listen to Jamie's voice.

  • yeeesss..I love Radiohead and really like this cover..just brilliant !!!

  • Briliant cover

  • This song reduces me to tears

    <3

  • wow I looove this guys voice. He sounds so good in every cover he does

  • Beautiful song

    Love this version

  • Usually, when I hear any artist singing some other artist or band's song I don't like it (especialle if the other band is Radiohead!!), I feel like their "stealing" it. But in this case it's different, Jamie somehow makes the song his. I think he's very, very talented.

  • jamie we all love you. your music is so good. your voice so beautiful. and.... i don'know. you're just amazing.

  • alright i'm a HUGE radiohead fan (a lot of you won't believe that after this statement) but as a separate song i really do like how this is performed better than radiohead's version...don't get me wrong! thome and them wrote the song! i love them! haha but this a little something extra to it

  • While I was reading the reactions at this song... I forgot to listen to the song. At the moment I thought I wasn't listening, I started to listen. What a fantastic cover... I don't know the words to describe it but I think, it's 2 words: Fucking incredible.

  • wonderful, i love this song XD

  • Not bad but this doesn't come anywhere close to the radiohead version, way too clean.

  • Wow.. Beautiful, fantastic.

  • @xChemical8D

    uhuhuh yeah yeah yeha yheaaaaaaaa

  • Wow the third good one, and that piano sounds :D

  • i love this cover (: it's really calming

  • Jamie Cullum is such an amazing singer. He should never stop playing the piano...

    I play it to but I´m always depressed when I see him playing because plays it so wonderful..

    Jamie Cullum, I love you.

  • you are so ride

  • Most covers you hear of songs are either so different from the original that you can't even tell that it's the same song at any point, or exactly like the original (the way I cover songs haha). While I tend to still like when they're really similar to the original, THIS is how you do a cover. This is how you make a song completely your own while still respecting the original artist. Simply amazing.

  • Haha you know it's funny! When you try to sing a song and make it your own your like...damn I don't know how to do this!!! It's hard to make a song your own!!!!

  • @ChristMartin973 agreed. this is, imo, one of the greatest songs ever written. at least in this generation. ive yet to hear a cover of it i dont like. but this version has definitely got a unique feel. also my introduction to jamie cullum, well done sir.

  • 5 stars just because its a radiohead cover

  • great song

  • Great cover.. He definitely made it his own. x

  • unforgettable song

  • i haven't nothing to say just i adore his art

  • Im fuckin love this song :D

  • this song i soo relaxing

  • its really cool that his guy doesnt get the despair of this song, and he makes it into a crappy pop song

  • That's not true !

  • Dude, your're a noob.

  • He is so good. Love his voice.

  • love this pic its my fav or Jamie..hes pretty damn cute and his voice is so soothing and sexy..Two jumps and a wee aye? Your a cool dude. lyrically amazing song !!

  • I always considered the Radiohead version was dark/intense whereby this jazz version appears less intense though more hopefull

  • gorgeouss song!

    mine and my dads songg... ahhhhh lovely :)

    xxx

  • he is some man

  • He is a world class artist he will go down in history!

  • better than the original from radiohead, definetly

  • i think Jamie sounds exteamly sexy and smooth when he sings this. He also has a great falsetto..(slot of peeps sound like dieing dogs when the hit those highs. I really digg this tune, the piano part is lovely m8. wink

  • perfect

  • vet (H)

  • Comment removed

  • As a HUGE Radiohead fan, I'd just like to say i think this song is at least as good as the original if not better. I don't get all the bashing people are giving it.

    So sue me.

  • Boring.. Radiohead is so much better..

  • wtf does that have to do with anything?!

  • This is a cover. The original is from Radiohead.

  • roflmaobbq wut?

  • This song is cool!! I repeatedly listens to it every morning while checking on my email.

  • The original is way better...

  • Nice song and perfect voice of JAMIE!

  • Great cover (way better than Radiohead's actually), great piano arrangements, pure voice, and nice groove... Great, as always, try & keep it that way man !

  • Yeah a very great song !

    I love it !

    Keep like this Cullum, u touch my heart and my soul...

  • I love Jamie Cullums version of high and dry it is so much better than radioheads version.

  • ♪♫♪ u sing this song Beautifully ♪♫♪

  • i wouldnt say that i beats radiohead.

    but its pretty good

    he does a good version of one of my fave radiohead songs ever.

    most covers normally suck but this is quite good really

  • man i love this song.. ^^

  • Just perfect! It touches my soul...

  • beautiful song!!

  • Has nothing on the original Radiohead.

  • Brings back memories of living in the US.

  • It's just pure talent (:

  • does anyone have sheet music??

  • I maybe only 14, but I really love listening to Jamie Callum with my parents. He really is a great guy, for a british guy, of course. I myself love the british as they are smart, and love fish and chips. I simply love this song.....But I don't get two jumps in a wii????

  • its two jumps in a week ;)

  • @WeBkInZgIrL1889 I love the british too. David Bowie rocks!!!!!! and i'm only 14 but i love Jamie's music too. he's really good.

  • i (L) this cover.

    is truelly heart warming.

    dont understand why some people are saying its badd caus its really not!

    probably one of my favourite from his songs

    and frontin

    :)

  • Thanks a bunch for making this video available. The picture is pretty cool & colorful; Jamie atop the piano that is his instrument of force. This particular version (recorded off his album 'Pointless Nostalgic') I think is the most effective & tender (his falsetto is very controlled and smooth). While originally a Radiohead gem, I found what Jamie brought to the song (soul & jazz flavor) was heartfelt (it suits his voice PERFECTLY). This is a real tear-jerker. Moving every time you hear it. A+!
