One of the rare bands that knows how to make 3 guitar players work. No ego. They know their roles perfectly.

[@MuammarElKhatib]

This.

[@GibbyBoy2831]

Especially Jonny. Many guitar players with that level of ability of lead guitar often try and be flashy. His musicianship is just mesmerising.

Radiohead writes some gorgeous, passionate and cathartic bridges!

[@kora615]

everyone is talking about the bass, the guitar, thoms beautiful singing.. but nobody is talking about the work phil is putting in with that constant cymbal tapping throughout majority of the song

[@j.stoner]

ive tried drumming to this, and to jigsaw falling into place, i cant even fathom doing this. phil is an absolute beast

[@asger7442]

when you nail the whole push and pull technique on the cymbal this and jigsaw become such a blast to play

[@ilmagodiloz]

100% - And even when he’s not on the cymbal he’s still basically doing the same on the tom or the snare hoop. Every once in a while I can keep it up the whole song but I’m dying 😂

[@jclark1693]

The dude is an absolute machine

​@@lewdtaoist all musicians usually hear clicks, even when they're recording. But keeping such a beat as steady as Phil does is not simple at all. In fact us hard as fuck lol

[@TheCuthere]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!

[@Nachotina]

We bring ourselves the illusion of having an identity, I want everybody else to see what I want them to see, we wear these invisible masks all the time, we are all just lies. That's what Bodysnatchers means to me, deep lyrics.

[@thomshrike]

Similar to “2+2=5”, It seems to be “1984”-themed. About being brainwashed out of your identity by the ruling powers.

[@CRVSADERSONGS]

Cool interpretation ! I always imaged an alien consciousness, flung into a human body while still retaining parts of its older identity. I definitely see the 1984 themes though.

[@theorangeoof926]

I mean, the song is literally about locked-in syndrome.

[@CristopherLujanRomero]

I do not understand What it is I've done wrong Full of holes Check for pulse Blink your eyes One for yes Two for no I have no idea what I am talking about I'm trapped in this body and can't get out You killed the sound Removed backbone A pale imitation With the edges sawn off I have no idea what you are talking about Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your ass Has the light gone out for you? Because the light's gone out for me It is the 21st century It is the 21st century It can follow you like a dog It brought me to my knees They got a skin and they put me in They got a skin and they put me in Oh, the lines wrapped 'round my face Oh, the lines wrapped 'round my face Are for anyone else to see Are for anyone else to see I'm a lie I've seen it coming I've seen it coming I've seen it coming I've seen it coming

[@matthewsaul3533]

Took me so many years to fall in love with this song. Didn't happen til I was around the age Thom was when they made In Rainbows. Just now really watching them play it on From The Basement as well as the Jools Holland performance. It makes me wonder, how often have they played this at shows? It really seems like a rough song for Thom to get through emotionally.

[@hughgrection5674]

Performances like this prove that there will never be another Radiohead, and that’s fine by me 👍 seen them 11 times over the years, and those memories are all mine 🤔

[@galetinm]

Too bad they don't show Ed during his beautiful swooping melody part in the break down 'acoustic' section. They show Jonny, he plays similar notes, but he picks them, it isn't swooping and sustained. People could get confused who plays the part.

[@szymonozimek]

[@thevidguy11]

Thom's tone is magnificent

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

Imagine if Led Zeppelin had played all of their fourth album in order live in a studio back in 1971. Or the Beatles played Revolver the same way back in 1966. Or The Velvet Underground played the all of their debut. Or The Rolling Stones did all of Beggars Banquet. That’s what this whole set is like.

[@Toxic2142]

I just want to know where I can find more music like this specific song.

[@thomshrike]

For the same theme: Radiohead’s “2+2=5”. For some amazing guitar work, try Radiohead’s “These are my Twisted Words”, or Sonic Youth, eg “Trilogy”, “Schizophrenia” or “Theresa’s Sound World”.

[@1SquidBoy]

@@thomshrike I'm actually wanting to get into other artists. I've exhausted radiohead's discog, but these songs are roughly in the same ballpark. What genre are these songs even? Some version of krautrock or something?

[@thomshrike]

Try the Sonic Youth songs I mentioned on my previous comment.

[@1SquidBoy]

@@thomshrike These are really good recs. Might start combing through sonic youth.

Those 4 albums from the 1987-1992 period (Sister, Daydream Nation, Goo, Dirty) are the best way to start.
