Thom Yorke - Creep - Radiohead - Isolated Vocal Analysis - Singing & Production Tips

[@stevensavoie856]

We were so spoiled with this kind of quality, style drenched singing that it was hard to appreciate back then, but I really liked hearing his performance here. Thanks.

It may not have been perceivably. A conscious. Recognition happening. For people when they heard it then, but. You don't need to be conscious of it for it to. Affect. How it affects Our interpretation.'Cause where? The mind might be looking for. These subtleties. How we're seeing them now. The heart. Doesn't need.

Stop😂😂😂😂😂

TY is a great singer but The subtle imperfections in pitch and cracking of his voice are amazing and really make the song have the angsty emotional impact it had on me when I was growing up. Many producers today, as you say, would pitch correct these areas or tell TY to sing from the belly and open the back of his throats in the moments his voice cracks but this organicness brings life to music like this.

[@Amzegal]

Omg Chris this is pure gold. I've been snging each phrase with you, trying to find the vocal posture as the track goes. Tom's such a genius and your analysis is great. Thank you so much.

[@roxnroll8050]

What an amazing video showcasing vocal artistry! Without the music, and hearing every little breath - he sings it so perfectly imperfect. Like someone ripped out his heart and broke it into a million pieces - something we can ALL relate to. The cracks, soft tones and rasp all take us on an emotional journey - as if he was sitting next to us somewhere telling us what happened, ready to break down. If it was perfect, I don't think it would have the same impact. Probably why it's one of the most famous and covered songs out there! And jeez, Chris! You're some kind of vocal wizard/chameleon - you could sound like almost everyone! Amazing! LOL

[@dahliafiend]

He definitely grew as a singer going into the next few records but even before this record I’ve heard demos of it and other songs like “You” and he was definitely struggling with the higher notes. You could tell it was there but it’s clearly something he worked at.

[@AnnaAwe]

Thanks so much for this video. I had no idea TY had so much reverb on his voice in the recording. Also interesting how his subtle delivery at the beginning is still very powerful. It makes the dynamics later in the song more interesting.

[@ticianotc]

One of the best videos I ever watched. Really impressed by the way you explained, edited, and sang this song.

[@leandromana]

This is just AWESOME work. Thanks so much

This is great! Thank you… requesting some Pearl Jam (black) isolated vocals 🙏🏽

Amazing aproach to describe such an incredible song

[@ulfrik7825]

Hey Chris! You definitely should check out Creep 1997 pink pop concert. The best Creep performance ever:)

[@zerronyx1362]

The live A4 belt there is incredible, pinkpop was thom yorke at his peak

[@craesce1167]

isnt it 1996?

[@satyamsinghh]

@@zerronyx1362 it wasn’t his peak, his peak was probably 2003, but ofc he sounded extremely good in pinkpop

[@killviolet5403]

brian justin crum did a HELLA good one

[@goctagonrecovery3270]

This is probably my favorite video of yours so far. I love Thom Yorke’s vocals. They’re so beautiful. They also fit my voice very well so I very much enjoy singing along to Radiohead songs.

[@Auriel17]

omg i loved this video! seems like the best way to study a song as a singer is go for the isolated voice track can get all subtleties now thanks!

[@arturogomez1647]

Thank you, that was a very clear explanation about the song. It really, really helped me.

[@ethancoster1324]

I remember covering this song and I literally busted my gut trying to sustain that high A note.

[@217Artifact]

Man, I don’t “sing” per say, but you make my “trying” to sing so fun and informative! Thank you! And damn if don’t totally nail it in your replication of his performance! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Love starting off my day with some Chris Liepe!

Good Breakdown straight to the point instead of others who this. Good stuff Chris

[@jamiegunn]

Great video!!!!!! Pulling out some great introspective dynamics.

[@coolestreviews5315]

This has always been one of my favorite songs... remember when MTV played music?

[@fergalmcnally6677]

Definitely one of the great rock singers. Such a unique voice. I think I heard him once say he wished it was dirtier and grittier and not so pretty. I guess even the Thom Yorkes of the world sometimes don't like their voice :) Great analysis Chris!

[@doniefleming5834]

Great job Chris. I really enjoy the isolated tracks. You nail exactly what they do. Awesome bro. 👍👍

[@afternoonbears6989]

I really love how you take learning and experimenting to a FUN place!..... Also, the scruffy beard looks good.

[@coolestreviews5315]

Wow, this does sound a lot different with isolated vocals. Thank you for this video.

Great analysis man! a top one!

[@fenderfox5080]

Awesome!! Love it Chris 😊

[@fenderfox5080]

Also it's gonna take me quite some time I guess until I can get signed up for classes. A bunch of things came up recently , but I still plan to get all signed up and get going with you eventually. Best teacher in the world IMO

Thanks Chris.

[@chadkhudles852]

Is it only me, myself and i the inly one who thinks that Tom and Chris have really similar voices? Hey Chris are you for hire to sing people to sleep? Man i love this guy. *More videos from the most handsome Best teacher ever!!*

[@drippinghere]

you're amazing dude, i love your videos

[@Erik_Danley]

Wooow Chris could exactly copy this song. Just amazing. It’d be fantastic to hear him cover it. Although I guess he essentially did in parts in this video. Ha. Great stuff

[@gokuwufei99]

Here because my amazing job is having a karaoke contest. Creep was on the list of songs you can pick and i wanna destroy and amaze my coworkers and the run, run, run RUUUUUN part makes me dizzy after belting it. Thank you, this video helps, ive got 3 weeks to practice

[@Chrystianxo]

How’d it turn out?

[@gokuwufei99]

@Chrystianvigil I still get compliments to this day but it was more a popularity contest lol. It was fun which is all that matters and it's ON next time 👌😎

[@karlosed]

Excellent work Chris. At times I found you sounded more like Matt Bellamy trying to sing like Tom Yorke, not that there is anything wrong with that.

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

Yes, more signal chain ideas, blended voice, fry and compression. I bet York trained and worked on these things too. Most people think you are just born a singer.

[@ZmeyYuri]

I thought that way too and I wouldn't allow myself to sing because of that :(

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

@@ZmeyYuri well my hope for you is that you have moved past that and are on the path to developing your musical voice.

You're welcome

[@eimakaiomanguy5532]

Sooo wet lol, both the vocals and the girls that listen to them....

This isolated vocal track really drives home why this is such a good song. Never mind the fact that it's been overplayed the past 30 years and Radiohead and their fans pretend they don't like it (me excluded, I love it and Pablo Honey.) It's a solid ass song no matter what.

Hey I absolutely love your channel Chris. You should do a reaction/analysis to any YUNGBLUD song. He has a really unique tone and screaming technique that would be cool to breakdown.

Partially because it is very popular, and partially because these are the isolated vocals I could find :)

Hey Chris off this subject to your the four roles of a guitar in a mix sneak peek via Recording rev. You record your guitars in stereo and then pan them hard left or hard right, but in lpx you're panning a stereo recorded inst. incorrectly. Just wondering why record in stereo instead of mono if you're panning them hard left or hard right, wouldn't to many guitars recorded in stereo be over kill? Just wondering cause for some people and mixer's receiving all the guitar multi-tracks in stereo can be too much. Thanks for the great vids and info. Cheers :-)

[@chrisliepe]

Not in stereo. It’s a mini file. Pro tools does mono to stereo on the faders for effects.

[@guitar.knackshack2210]

@@chrisliepe Oh, okay, so you imported those files from protools into Logic Pro X (lpx) and you're saying that even though the bass gtr is showing in mono that the gtr tracks are in mono too, even though they're showing stereo in the channel strip panned hard L and hard R? Got it, Thanks. Cheers:-)

[@guitar.knackshack2210]

@@chrisliepe if you put your mini files from protools into LPX on an audio output mono track it would be true mono for LPX, but you put your mono track from protools on a stereo audio track in LPX, does it matter in digital recording and Logic Pro X?

hi Chris,off topic but I recently found out about the Adele’s vocal chords surgery and after reading all of the posts like “loud doesn’t mean good it will damage you” I feel uneasy,I love her style big and lush and so many vocalists do high intense stuff,does this mean we are all doomed?...My air support is right I don’t push if i feel like a note is too high it starts “scratching my throat” BUT bet Adele knee it all and still got in trouble is it about making breaks or changing your approach?Might be an idea for a video if you don’t have one like that yet

[@chrisliepe]

This is a great idea for a video! I've already done a few on Airflow that you might want to check out! Start with "Why Your Voice Get's Tired" and "Why You Get Hoarse" These both address what you're talking about!

[@Mr-sd7ez]

@@chrisliepe checked them out-wonderful exercises,would you say using compression helps drying your chords?

[@trotty-4257]

[@ulfrik7825]

FIrst of all I recommend you to have a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpDam6hvg9qgpM0 . If you want to sing like this you need a proper understanding of how everything works. I mean abdominal muscles and stuff like that. You need to warm up. To make it all easier you should join Chris's vocal course. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO DO THIS :)

Thom's voice sound so good here. I feel like his voice fell off starting with Kid A. On the first three albums, he had such range, power, and ease. Now he always sounds strained and thin. I wonder why that is. Age? Change in technique? Production?

[@chrisliepe]

"the voice is always a moving target" -Chris Cornell. I think all of those factors you mentioned play into his vocal change. I still love what he does with it though for sure!

[@JackMorgan06]

Change on musical style. It just suits the music he makes now more. He’d still have been capable of those things after Kid A. Now not so much but he’s still amazing.

Isn't his technique super natural, not contrived. It's like his posture is very relaxed and what you're pointing out is the incidental effects of emotion except the obvious changes in resonance?
