Thom Yorke - Present Tense

[@blancemoore]

[@NathanCain]

What about that other guy that died as a child and we never got to hear?

[@catythatzall4now]

First time I heard this was the video of when He played at latitude in 2009 I memorized it- to sing to myself in the times one is unable to find any other way to hear the songs they need The present tense acoustic lotus flowery helped me Survive in the darkest moments of 2010-2011 ever grateful To thom XX

My favourite from Radiohead . It’s still melancholic but there’s something hopeful about it...the idea of not giving up on someone you love and the fear of having loved in vain... I love this song 💗

(For mobile) This dance This dance It's like a weapon It's like a weapon Of self defense Self defense Against the present Against the present Present tense I won't get heavy Don't get heavy Keep it light and Keep it moving I am doing No harm As my world Comes crashing down I'm dancing Freaking out Deaf, dumb, and blind In you I'm lost In you I'm lost I won't turn around when the penny drops I won't stop now I won't slack off Or all this love Will be in vain Stop from falling Down a mine It's no one's business but mine That all this love Has been in vain In you I'm lost In you I'm lost In you I'm lost In you I'm lost

Thom Yorke is an Earth Angel ❤🎵😥🤗 He knows of bliss & deep sorrows that life brings.. This song moves me so much, the beat & that echo , sometimes to tears. It hits the spot , soothing & takes me to memories. He resounds with so many as he understands the vulnerable human condition. We the need dark & light ☯️ , we can't appreciate the sweetness if we don't know the sour. 🐱♏☯️🌌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That’s the way I sung it to me self After listening to the the best audio I could find on KZbin to grip up the lyrics to add to top ten most repeated tracks I had to sing fir the furst three months of 2011 little run in with the injustice system;/ better moments that year would be hearing him work this out on atoms for peace tour. I hung on every note of this the first time I heard it played a few times that tour, 2010 and I cried it was so striking to my ears - bravo Bella Bella

[@RustinChole]

Dude you didn’t buy it? Why? KZbin is a terrible way to consume music and the band was very specific that it was gonna only be up for a month or something. I can send songs to you, but they didn’t list the songs, and there’s..... well over 18 hours of music, so if you can find the right track listing for the right disc it’s on, (preferably with time stamps) I can send you tracks. But I’m not doing 18hrs of research for you, obviously 🤷‍♂️ I’m sure you can find the track listings out there on google no doubt.

[@shannavaha8645]

Patrick Chole Would you pass me the song of Let Down from the minidisc I think it is on disc 7 and on 9 I don't remember there are 3 versions, please I would really appreciate it. My email is [e-mail]

[@DinodogJr]

@@RustinChole Hi.. there's a 18 hours live music performance at this quality? Can i have the link? thanks...

[@RustinChole]

Dinodog Jr google “radiohead minidisc hack” they only sold it for 18 days, (as there are 18 mini discs of music in the set).

[@RustinChole]

Shanna Vaha that would take quite a bit of time to find the discs are each an hour long and there’s no song list. I’m sure you can google the order. Each disc is just one hour long track, so it’s impossible to flip through. May I recommend checking out Prissy Whip’s “Swallow” instead?

It's all muscle memory, there's a difference between learning a song where u won't make mistakes and learning it so that it's become muscle memory. When you have the muscle memory aspect, you can do it in the background to pretty much anything, especially when the plucking/arpeggio part is repetitive

[@jer9217]

Isn’t it just 4/4 w syncopation ?

First version is 4/4 time; the second is 7/4. Anyone knows of any other example of a same song performed in different time signatures? Like if you think it's adorable when Thom sings off-key like in 6:54 or when Jonny botches Idioteque.

[@Calzorb]

Morning Bell on Kid A is in 5/4 while the version on Amnesiac is in 4/4

Also Im fairly sure that both versions of this song are in 4/4

@@Calzorb Interesting! I definitely hear the second version in 7/4. The Terminator theme by Brad Fidel can be heard in 6/4 or 7/4, but it's actually 13/8. Maybe similar sort of shenanigans is going on here.

Hi Daniel, don't mean to spam your comments, but I had a quick question. I was wondering if you could help me find two early versions of Nude and True Love Waits that you had on your channel? I don't mean to be a bother, but I was struggling to locate them myself. I am super thankful for all the amazing content you have been uploading...
