@juanfranciscoh I couldn't tell you the exact name of the note because the capo is on the 2nd fret but the beautiful Thom plays it just as you would a "D"
People think that listening to radiohead has made me depressed. On the contrary, if it weren't for radiohead i would have been pushing up daisies a long time ago.
As I hear this song I am thrust back in time to being 15 and at dinner with my mother and the man she would let rape me later (they did get me drunk first, I'm grateful for small mercies) and as I stare down at my arms, covered in cuts, I do just what he describes in this song. When I played Kid A in 2000 I realized for the first time what had really happened to me, at 32 I was still disappeared. Grateful isn't a strong enough word for what I feel for this band. The world sucks, Radiohead heals.
Musicians who take art and culture in general with as much respect and dedication are too rare, nowadays. And even more rare are those as talented as Radiohead.
I'm not english-speaking, but I believe he says "thank you everyone for coming", and then something in Japaneese, so only few people here could understand him anyway :p
I am so blessed to have seen this live...Truly amazing. To see your favorite band (twice) at Red Rocks and see Thom pour his heart into every single second... I'm in love and have been for so many years.
Good thing about this kind of songs is that they are so fucking well composed that makes you happy listening to them, instead of getting sad about the tragedy that the song actually tells you about.
It's like: "Oh god, I'm listening to something so cool that I don't even care if it's depressing stuff"
Even if you have a shitty day, if you listen to this you can get happy thinking that someone could actually make a song about the feeling you are going through. And that someone is Thom Yorke &CO.
Here's the test of a band's greatness: Are they appreciated internationally? These videos of Radiohead's concerts in Japan are amazing. Check out the response to Weezer in Japan, and Bjork in Poland.
I love this song, as well as Fake Plastic Trees and Creep. They are probably the most depressing songs I know of, but I don't care. I've been depressed for years, I'm on 200mg of Zoloft, there's no hope of getting better.
That there, that's not me I go where I please I walk through walls I float down the Liffey I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here, I'm not here In a little while I'll be gone The moment's already passed Yeah, it's gone
This is absolutely amazing live, I remember standing soaked to the skin from the rain when they played Malahide Castle, just letting this wash over me. It was such an amazing experience.
The sensitivity behind their music is very compelling... Radiohead is one of those bands which moves around certain spheres, which normal "pop-bands" just ignore and don´t care to acknowledge. In my opinion, there lies the difference between art and comerce
its almost depressing to see the close mindedness of the english speaking west. I'm sure their are plenty of great japanese bands that should be selling out the o2 just as radiohead are in this japanese arena.
This is a beautiful song. Thom wrote it whilst on the ok computer tour, as some fans will know he hated the media spotlight, despised the attention and soon enough as a result, despised himself. For a period of 2yrs or so, thom suffered from depression. This song is all about the horrible situation that he found himself in therefore it is so meaningful and so beautiful
King of Limbs doesn't come clsoe to Ok Computer, the bends, Kid A, Pablo Honey. It's just so so. I'm not that crazy about it and I feel it's a weak attempt from them.
Agreed. Codex is my favorite song on the album along with Lotus Flower. Those two I can listen to numerous times. I really love Codex, it has feeeling and it's powerful.
@deadlesblue Um really....so....it's supposed to be a happy song? Sometimes you people who are overly obsessed with looking too deeply into things need to cool it. How is this NOT a depressing song? You could tell me it was actually written about going to the circus and I guarantee every time I listen to it i'm still gonna feel depressed. But, as you're so convinced we who say it's depressing don't understand the music, please enlighten, what is the real meaning here?
@blackhorse099 the real meaning is that yes the song is sad but not depressing. If youre emotionally mature, you should be able to exprerience the sadness and say, i feel sadness, therefore i feel alive - i am human because i am capable of feeling such a strong emotion from art. therefore the reaction to the song is positive. If you dont, then maybe youre just actually depressed or listened to too much dead emotionless rap songs
@bombtom512 Excuse me. I despise rap and I don't ever listen to that bullshit. Yes it is a positive thing to be able to feel alive through the sadness of the song, I agree with that.
@bombtom512 That is a brilliant comment. I might have to steal that if my dreams ever come true and I get interviewed one day...haha yeah right. Radiohead Forever!
KoL can't be compared to Kid A, nor should OK Comp be compared to In Rainbows, or amnesiac to Hail to the theif, etc. The point at which Kid A was made was a totally different time in their career, with a different sound and different purpose. I've heard lots of critics bash king of limbs because it didn't give them what they want, but if I've learned anything about this group, it's that they havent put out a shite album since Pablo Honey. everyone will understand it eventually

@EviLSiLenZ It's absolutely weird. There's not any single reason not to enjoy listening to such a magnificient piece of music. This isn't even music, this is a reiteration of a once-in-a-lifetime nocturnal bliss. Who wouldn't want to live such a beautiful moment? "Oyasumi nasai".

@OpakeArawra2 On the right track mate but not there yet in terms of reason or evidence. For example, I think this is a good song because of its wonderful meshing of texturally rich lines with a soft yet powerful beat. All of which complement the alienation themed lyrics perfectly.

Sure, some radiohead fans are elitists/pretentious assholes,but what does that mean to me? Absolutely nothing...I'm not so insecure with my intellect so as to think that listening to a particular band will make me a pretentious "shit sucker"....You should know that without solid reasoning, labeling someone else pretentious is implicitly pretentious. Therefore, i'll simply request that you quit stroking your ego in public and go listen to the music that you like.

I think this is the best version live ever. The intro and outro, are fucking epic. The atmosphere created by the outro is amazing. That is something like the lyrics but transformated into a short song, with more soul, more Thom, Ed, Jonny, Colin and Phil. But, it is not happenin, it is not here.
I thought this was the best song on Kid A and while i say it was not the best "Best" Radiohead Album, it was the most "unique" and anything by Radiohead is still a wonderful Band. When people say that a certain band or song can save your life, this one did. Every work this band has made should be duly noted, theres so much stuff by Radiohead and many other bands getting slammed about by people and critics because they all want to join The group of attacking older, lesser, or experimental Work
Truly inspirational. This song soars beyond the skies and takes my soul with it, every single listen. From the somber and slow intro, to the build up, to the echoing shouts of a musician fully engulfed in the music. No other band can describe the human emotion better than Radiohead. Kid A is without doubt the greatest achievement in music history.
Ok that's a loaded question. First, me saying something is "the best" is just my opinion, same as you. "The best album to me" is more like it. Quantifying something as the greatest achievement of all time gives it objective qualities, and neither you nor I are capable of that.
I could give you the album most people consider to be the best of all time. I could give you what was most culturally significant, or the most innovative... none would be the "greatest achievement."
@Desperado8600 punk in drublic by nofx, family style by srv, let's go by rancid, literally anything lightnin hopkins did, the score by the fugees, enter the 36 chambers by some guys you better not fuck with, energy by op ivy, the white album by the beatles, by the throat by eyedea (rip) and abilities, anything jeff ott has done especially in crimpshrine, mediocre generica by leftover crack, somewhere in the between by streetlight manifesto, and i wanna end by saying yo. fuck. radiohead.
Ii love how the song is in the key of E but we never actually get to hear a full E chord until 5:38. The song just builds up and up in tension and when it comes to that moment, the result is mindblowing.
@farfle10 what's F#? the scale (then i can't find it by myself)? the tonality (then i'd say it's in D)? how do you know? i have a few basis, you can explain it using few technical words :)
They are under rated... I dont get it why people choose to create music like lady gaga just repeating a stupid word thinking its cool on a bad beat..... I dont feel anything when i listen to lady gaga... When i listen to radio head ... anything from the 80s 90s i feel something goose bumps, tears , sadness, happiness this is music..... Music is ment to make you feel an emotion or make you be in a state of mind where you can think freely

Sure, some radiohead fans are elitists/pretentious assholes,but what does that mean to me? Absolutely nothing...I'm not so insecure with my intellect so as to think that listening to a particular band will make me a pretentious "shit sucker"....You should know that without solid reasoning, labeling someone else pretentious is implicitly pretentious. Therefore, i'll simply request that you quit stroking your ego in public and go listen to the music that you like.

I think this is the best version live ever. The intro and outro, are fucking epic. The atmosphere created by the outro is amazing. That is something like the lyrics but transformated into a short song, with more soul, more Thom, Ed, Jonny, Colin and Phil. But, it is not happenin, it is not here.

I thought this was the best song on Kid A and while i say it was not the best "Best" Radiohead Album, it was the most "unique" and anything by Radiohead is still a wonderful Band. When people say that a certain band or song can save your life, this one did. Every work this band has made should be duly noted, theres so much stuff by Radiohead and many other bands getting slammed about by people and critics because they all want to join The group of attacking older, lesser, or experimental Work

Truly inspirational. This song soars beyond the skies and takes my soul with it, every single listen. From the somber and slow intro, to the build up, to the echoing shouts of a musician fully engulfed in the music. No other band can describe the human emotion better than Radiohead. Kid A is without doubt the greatest achievement in music history.

I LOVE Radiohead... but you need to listen to more music if you think Kid A is the "greatest achievement in music history."

@msteele79 Tell me an album better than Kid A.

@Desperado8600
Ok that's a loaded question. First, me saying something is "the best" is just my opinion, same as you. "The best album to me" is more like it. Quantifying something as the greatest achievement of all time gives it objective qualities, and neither you nor I are capable of that.
I could give you the album most people consider to be the best of all time. I could give you what was most culturally significant, or the most innovative... none would be the "greatest achievement."

All I can tell you is my opinion, which is subjective. So don't try to attribute objective "bestness" to something that is only your opinion.

@Desperado8600 punk in drublic by nofx, family style by srv, let's go by rancid, literally anything lightnin hopkins did, the score by the fugees, enter the 36 chambers by some guys you better not fuck with, energy by op ivy, the white album by the beatles, by the throat by eyedea (rip) and abilities, anything jeff ott has done especially in crimpshrine, mediocre generica by leftover crack, somewhere in the between by streetlight manifesto, and i wanna end by saying yo. fuck. radiohead.

@SirReddy7 Probably. What makes Radiohead so awsome is that is hard to decide the best song :)

@SirReddy7 Really? Fake Plastic Trees? I can think of 10 Radiohead songs that top FPT without blinking an eye.

Ii love how the song is in the key of E but we never actually get to hear a full E chord until 5:38. The song just builds up and up in tension and when it comes to that moment, the result is mindblowing.

@gpeddino the key is F# minor...
farfle10 1 year ago
@farfle10 what's F#? the scale (then i can't find it by myself)? the tonality (then i'd say it's in D)? how do you know? i have a few basis, you can explain it using few technical words :)
thanks

They are under rated... I dont get it why people choose to create music like lady gaga just repeating a stupid word thinking its cool on a bad beat..... I dont feel anything when i listen to lady gaga... When i listen to radio head ... anything from the 80s 90s i feel something goose bumps, tears , sadness, happiness this is music..... Music is ment to make you feel an emotion or make you be in a state of mind where you can think freely

Back in the 80's, if Radiohead had existed and I had to choose between Drugs and Radiohead.......Radiohead would be my choice.

excellent video/song.
@Tappoo, he uses an EBow on the treble boost setting and a delay (probably, to smooth out transirion between notes), and maybe a few other pedals
