  • @SuperWilliamOld totally agree on that, and I love both of them :)

  • too good

    

  • You and whose army reloaded

  • is it alright? what do u think?

  • back to basics! amazing amazing amazing !

  • Radiohead don't need to forgive anyone... and SURE AS HELL don't ask for forgiveness.

  • i have to listen again dj whiley respec

  • i've always loved Radiohead, I heard this song tiiiiiiiime ago but all I could hear was Thom Yorke doin it live, heard this though the other night on the radio, despite my opinion of Thom's voice near the start, I gotta say I like this song, plus I like the message, and as i biased left-winger, anything against the daily mail gets my vote :D

  • : So Beautiful *-*

    

  • Lets be fair. If we're all honest for a moment TKOL was a bit of a let down.

  • some one fill me in on what this songs about?

  • @CrewFilthy The Daily Mail is a very conservative tabloid in the UK. This song is dedicated to "free thinkers..."

  • I wish The Daily Mail, Staircase, The Butcher, Super Collider and These Are My Twisted Words were on The King of Limbs.

  • @WickedLiquid They wouldn't have fit with TKOL's atmosphere. Maybe we will see them on the next LP, a la amnesiac. I personally think TKOL is perfect the way it is and is one of my favorite Radiohead albums.

  • @magicalhobo3 Exactly what i say

  • Sooooo...why wasn't this on the album?

  • @MrShadowzs Because there's a different atmosphere on the album which cannot be interrupted.

  • "The lunatics have taken over the asylum, waiting on the rapture."

    Absolutely amazing.

  • @Chubachus uhmmmm.... really?

  • @talkingbeatlehead he clearly didn't get his Daily Mail, pay him no mind.

  • @Chubachus Ok, sounds weird!

  • @Chubachus are you daft?

  • @fear0no0evo0 its called good taste

  • @Chubachus

    Umm, what debacle?, there is none.

  • @Chubachus funnier is this song is from before In Rainbows

  • @Chubachus silly boy King of limbs was fantastic ;-)

  • @Chubachus debacle? its their best album imo......it a challenge.....and shows that music is an artform....its not something you're meant to get immeadiately

  • @Chubachus The King of Limbs might be their best album so far.

  • @Chubachus You sir cannot characterize yourself as a Radiohead Fan with a comment like that. Shameful

  • This is the song that made me give Radiohead a chance. Now I've been listening to nothing but Kid A all week

  • @Pittsisamazing :) and so u should :P now stick on OK computer :)

  • @Pittsisamazing After that stick Th Bends, In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, The King of Limbs, Amnesiac and Pablo Honey on. Preferably in that order, but any will do.

  • Comment removed

  • What album is this? Is it The King of Limbs?

  • @rubenf161 Not on an album, presumed to be some form of B-Side

  • @rubenf161 It's not a released song yet. This was played in webcasts and live performances only (or at least I think so)

  • this song is so beautiful, i love it, it reminds me a little of Fog from Amnesiac (unreleased)

  • Reminds me of You and Whose Army a little

  • @FacultyBob Yeah, same. Builds up a similar kinda build-up and release.

  • all of these songs take a while for people to like, i completely hated this album when i first heard it, now i just understand what they were doing.

  • @geekyt4 "Meer Exposure Effect"

  • @Ninja7545 Nah the best thing ever is when you have Ed on Guitar, Colin on Bass, Jonny on Guitar, Thom on Piano, and Phil on Drums

  • everyone is entitled to their own opinion and thats why Radiohead doesn't have a best song....... In my opinion almost every radiohead song has a special meaning to me, my favorite song changes almost everyday

  • @jimissarcastic Well Said

  • I definitely get more of a 'You and Who's Army' from this, but it's a hell of a lot better than that. In fact, it could be better than anything they've done since Fake Plastic Trees.

    Basically I want a new album tomorrow... oh wait...

  • @SMuJ17 1. Why does everyone think Fake Plastic Trees is one of their best? its not even in my top 50.

    2. You and Whose Army? is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Daily Mail. Mostly Because You and whose army is in my top 3 songs by them.....

  • Comment removed

  • @talkingbeatlehead 1. Matter of opinion.

    2. Matter of opinion.

    3. My top 3 would be Street Spirit, FPT and There There.

  • @SMuJ17 Im just saying FPT isnt that great for Radiohead standards....

  • @talkingbeatlehead Many things aren't great for Radiohead's standards... 'I Will', Sliced Bread and Oxygen are among these things ;)

  • @SMuJ17 pyramid song.

  • @MachinaSapien I was gonna mention this yeah, fair point, I stand corrected...

  • @SMuJ17 not corrected, just agreement :) radiohead owns. my right arms is a radiohead tattoo

  • @MachinaSapien And my brain is one long radiohead song ;)

  • How do I get mp3 of this song? Effing love this.

  • @movonup search free mp3 to youtube converter, and download it.

  • Lol Delivered by Owl. 

  • this song doesn't fit in the album(King of Limbs) but it's definitely awesome

  • waiting on the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppppppptur­e

  • I think I'm responsible for 42,335 of this videos views...

  • did we ever get a studio version of this?

  • @thegoldenhero No, but we will, well maybe not considering Big Boots was never released and many people love that song.

  • 1 person didn't receive his daily mail

  • When we getting a studio version?

  • @Scoob505 Most likely before we all die. Probably within a year

  • I can't stop listening to this.

  • @omarvalle81 I refer to this song as "You and Whose Army Part 2."

  • This song remind me the last part of the You and whose army song...

  • This song might be their best song ever and idk it's just mesmerizing.

  • Respond to this video... Not there best song. But yes tis a mesmerizing song

  • does this remind anyone else of 'everything in it's right place'? kid a was my absolute favorite album... anywhere the drones like myself can find this to download??

  • @Rickb0904

    Actually, I get more of a Pyramid Song vibe from this song.. especially the second half. Either way, it's awesome.

  • @simbjv I don't hear Pyramid Song, but it's definitely Amnesiac-era type stuff. I was leaning more towards "You and Whose Army?" The empowering transition, at least, is very similar.

  • @simbjv What?

  • One person has terrible taste.

  • @35Cory85 Two people 

  • This song has just forced me to pay for piano lessons.

  • @Pittsisamazing

    You don't need lessons buddy :) They got me nowhere. Find some tutorials for songs you like and learn like that, improvise a little bit, have fun.... lessons for me at least just bored me, teaching me songs I don't like and skills I don't need. Get yourself a cheap-ass keyboard to start with (if you don't have one) and you have all the lessons you could shake a stick at in youtube and your own head :)

  • Breathtaking.

  • How amazing was this on the Steven Colbert report last night

  • i LOVE this! Can't explain it; Thom hasn't got the best "rock" voice, but it totally works.

  • :')

  • why on earth didn't they put this on TKOL?????? it's gorgeous!

  • @kkmatt not to bash their album but i think it would been a good replacement for "feral" just wasn't that great of a song, i totally agree with you dude

  • @kkmatt I'm happy they didnt, TKOL is perfect the way it is, and this song would have ruined the flow of the whole album, It starts Dark but gradually lightens up to the climactic part of Separator, now where would this song be placed within the album? Plus i doubt they even perfected the Studio version of this song by then, or even started.

  • @talkingbeatlehead I disagree with you about this song ruining the flow of the album. HOWEVER, i think taking into account that they may not have perfected a studio version in time is a very reasonable reason for it being left out. Forgot about that.

    But in a way, i'm glad that all we have are the live versions of this song. It sounds much more intense and raw.

  • @talkingbeatlehead Thom said at the NYC shows that this song hasn't been released... YET!

  • @talkingbeatlehead

    I believe it could fit well as second, right after Bloom. And I find Morning Mr Magpie and Little by Little the weak points of the album. I also wish the Daily Mail and Staircase had replaced them. It is hard to argue taste, though.

  • @lleimmoen Morning Mr Magpie was one of my favourite, I didnt like Little By Little at first but now i find it just as good as all the others

  • @lleimmoen how would it have fit? you don't go epic 70's esque piano ballad right after electronic freejazz freak out.

    Magpie worked because it was a rigid electronic rock stomper type track. It might have worked as Little By Little, but then how do you transition the end of this song onto Feral? You don't.

    even though I think Supercollider could have been put on, maybe after Feral, before Lotus Flower. Make it the centrepeice of the album, the middle epic song.

    I'm rambling.

  • I SAW THIS ON SOUTH PARK SOUND LIKE NEW COLDPLAY THEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS RADIOHEAD WTF!?

  • Sounds like a mere outtake from Hail To The Thief, but I like it.

  • One of their best imo, not that i completely dislike TKOL but why couldnt they make an album with this song, and in this style?

  • Who got away with it?

  • @DoYouDigItNow Me, because bbc didnt take me down

  • this is my favorite radiohead song, its so evolutionary, from beautiful intimate piano and vocals to the clangy and frankly badass riff at the end, reminds me of the feeling of revenge

  • WOW. christ, we need you radiohead!!!

  • @BenL123 LOL you should have gotton 100 thumbs up not a flag for spam.

  • Radiohead are anomalous in the fact that they have found a way to be increasingly vital and creative in a medium which, like lyric poetry, usually finds its deepest expressions in the intense emotions of early youth. Of course, they have evolved a complex understanding of voice and craft which elevates them into the realm of the classical...this cumulative, rarefied space where, when informed by wisdom and maturity, finally realizes the masterful. Read more at the blog, "fixedstarsrising."

  • @fixedstarsrise pseudo intellectual bullshit. get a life...

  • in my opinion one of the most beautiful songs , other than "Sail to the Moon", he's EVER written on piano.

  • ....It's the dirty story of a dirty man

    And his clinging wife doesn't understand.

    His son is working for the Daily Mail,

    It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,

    Paperback writer....

    What I thought of as soon as I seen the title for this Radiohead song..haha.

  • Wheres the artwork from?

  • @wildsnydon one of stanley donwood's paintings (the artist for most of radiohead's album art)

  • holy smoke

  • I want this whole album on a CD. And NO, I WON'T SETTLE FOR YOUTUBE TO MP3 crap. I want the real deal.

  • I got a feeling they're gonna leave this a b-side. Just like they did Kinetic, A Reminder, Talk Show Host. I think it's better that way anyway. the best talents are hidden

  • Poor replay button. It's probably so tired.

  • The final part reminds me to "You And Whose Army?"

  • @vdejesusmedranoz most definetly, but IMO "You and Whose Army?" is better

  • @talkingbeatlehead hmmm personally I prefer this, probably the best of radiohead's new songs I think. Either this or codex.

  • 'We don't want the loonies, taking over!'

    -

    'The lunatics have taken over'

    self-reference win?

  • @Nycago Nice find :)

  • I think the butcher supercolider and this song could perfectly be on a new album :) Just not King of the limbs, doesn't fit imo.

  • Though this song was probably made with TKOL in mind, it sounds like a Hail to the Thief track.

  • Comment removed

  • classic radiohead

  • Radiohead knows just how to make the beat drop.

  • 0 people have no soul.

  • Okay, this is now my favorite Radiohead song. Why the HELL didn't they put this on the album? Hopefully they knew it was amazing and are building buzz and waiting to put it on the next one.

  • @dasheight It is one of the best. But i am glad they didnt put this or Staircase, or Butcher, Or Supercollider. These songs do not fit at all on the album. I think TKOL had a perfect length.

  • Anyone else think The King of Limbs could've easily been a 12 track album with The Daily Mail, Staircase, Supercollider and These are My Twisted Words added on?

  • @WickedLiquid

    I know right! Id be Patient enough to wait the few extra months for them to finish all their songs. I think this would have been a nice song to wrap up king of limbs

  • Comment removed

  • @grinningmoon90 Yeah, these new songs are pretty cool but in terms of KOL it was unfortunately disappiointing. Some great tracks like Bloom, Lotus Flower, Codex and Separator but the album as a whole doesn't stand up to any of their past works. If it had these new songs I would probably think better of it. Oh well, they tried something new, one thing Radiohead has are a lot of balls, LOL.

  • @WickedLiquid

    butchhhhhhhhherrrrr

  • @WickedLiquid no, not at all. TKOL is completely fine by itself, if it was any longer then it would be awkward sounding, where would any of these songs fit together? Butcher may be after Feral, but barely.

  • @talkingbeatlehead Meh, gonna have to agree to disagree I'm afraid. If Codex can fit onto KOL then The Daily Mail can to. Staircase, Butcher and Supercollider all feel like they have that sample percussion vibe to it like alot of the songs on KOL. And These Are My twisted words, even though it's more rock-ish, has a 2 minute ambient guitar intro. I feel they could've easily fit onto the album.

  • @WickedLiquid Barely, TAMTW IMO would be the only one that could fit.

  • wow

  • Superb!

  • 3:42 i think i heard a zippo sparkin a J

  • This sounds SOOO good with all the brass!

  • radiohead should make an album that contains of this, staircase, and these are my twisted words

  • @streetlight482 so an EP?

  • @streetlight482 and they could throw in Butcher and Supercollider. I always like to figure out how these songs might fit into tKoL.

  • i like radiohead lyrics that are about random stuff better

  • a lot of these lyrics speak to me about how i feel about the looters and rioters in london. 'no regard for human life' 'you got away with it but we lie in wait'

  • @StillLifeWithMangoes that'd be a cool interpretation

  • ooh .that piano is eerie

  • this song has been around awhile.... thom played it live several times.... created during TKOL period

  • I love those piano weird chords... not that weird if you play them... but...

  • Comment removed

  • Where can I find this image/this painting? It's beautiful like The Daily Mail.

  • Awesome sauce

  • I loved TKOL. It's definitely a grower and I think that in time, more people will recognize how great it is. That being said, there is something special about this song. It's powerful. When Thom Yorke is angry, he writes some incredibly compelling music. The lyrics are relevant yet abstract. This is a song of our times. This is why Radiohead is the best.

  • "DAILY FUCKIN' MAIL" !!!^^

  • Really hoping there's some form of Amnesiac b-side album for the King of Limbs, so this song can be properly released!!

  • @xcnunes10 I hope so too

  • @xcnunes10 If there is, I bet that this song will be the last track :)

  • The moon is a rock on the mountain, the lunatics have taken over the asylum, waiting on the rapture, singing, “We, to keep your prices down, feed you to the hounds, to the Daily Mail.” Together, together you made a pig’s ear, you made a mistake, paid off security, got through the gate. You got away with it, but we lie in wait. Where’s the truth? What’s the use? I’m hangin’ ’round lost and found. And you’re innocent, fat chance, no plan, no regard for human life, keep trying, you’re not right..
  • @MachineMalfunction

    You’re fast to lose, you will lose.

    You’ve jumped the queue, go back again.

    President for life, lord of all.

    The flies in the sky, the beasts of the earth,

    the fish in the sea you’ve lost command.

    What a fucking fantastic song. When it picks up and the bass comes in is just fantastic. Sounds like something from Hail to the Theif or OK Computer. Best thing they've written in a while. Still got it! :D :D

  • The beginning reminds me of Sail to the Moon.

  • Welcome back, Radiohead.

  • @kyletheenigma i welcomed them when i heard bloom

  • @talkingbeatlehead

    They had me at Bloom

    

  • @kyletheenigma when did they go?

  • @crazychainsawkid1 I lost all respect for them after the king of Limbs.

  • @kyletheenigma really? I thought it was a great album. Far from their best but certainly not their worst. What didn't you like about it?

  • @crazychainsawkid1 Personally TKOL=My second Favourite Radiohead Album

  • @talkingbeatlehead yeah some people love it. Kid A and Ok Computer are still my two favourites though.

  • @kyletheenigma Wow thats sad.

  • lol where did they go? they have always been the shit!

  • @troutmonster87 Where did they go? What do you mean? they have always been on earth...unless one of them went to the moon but i would have heard of this

  • learned this by ear earlier today.

    <3 this song. And the composition and structure is fantastic.

  • This is the best thing I've heard since "You And Whose Army" when the piano kicks in
