Content idea: songs that use their chords as the melody (example: [Am [root only] moving to Am [full]. Try to play this: [root, full, full-root*, root, root-root, full_ -full] *Half + full beat) Progression: F#m F#m D E It's the Blast Processing bass but as fifths instead of octaves Sorry in advance for the confusion 😓

It has their best individual songs but as an album it's lackluster. It's a common theme with Radiohead imo but this album is the most extreme between the insane quality of some of the songs and the overall tracklisting being poorly thought out. Even the band themselves talked about how the tracklisting isn't good and suggested alternative versions

Great album. Musically complex and dense but with moments of pure beauty. Just because it didn't have the themes of Ok Computer or the amazing flow of In Rainbows but, like the Beatles White album it's more about the incredible variety and rich tapestry of sounds. I loved this album, it was a step back from the electronic sounds of.Kid A/amnesiac. Lots of acoustic piano and guitars.

Speaking is easier than writing. (Hence so many illiterate but vocalising people throughout time). Music sheet / notation does pretty much seem to be an attempt at what we did with words. Put them into a written language. It makes sense that sometime as intricate and complicated as music is really hard to depict when you limit it to a written language. Just like speaking and writing.

@@MV-vv7sg Considering that maybe the most complex thing humans do is real time language communication - the immediate connecting of thoughts, meaning, words, strung together and "performed" - we are all naturally equipped with the capacity for such complexity, but it just seems like one is harder than the other due to practice. Most musicians get to a point where they don't really have to count explicitly. The next note becomes just as natural as the next word. You don't have to stop and think unless you want to try a different path in real-time. But once you try to formalize that process, like here, it starts to look grotesquely complex. I think it's actually unfortunate that we linger on this complexity and formalism a bit too much sometimes, as often is the case in other domains like math and programming. When really it's ultimately simple component ideas that can be learned just as any natural language, and seem just as natural.

@@sibbyeskie Agreed. By trying to make ‘understanding’ happen, we make things awfully complex. We try to reduce things to smaller parts to make it ‘consumable’ but in doing so we create the need for many complex other things. We employ analogies because using an already existing thought that is know to compare to another is useful. But we forget analogies are representations, transpositions, not perfect translations. We introduce false ideas and errors when we then use the rest of the notions about the thing we analogised with and thus arrive at mistakes.

@@MV-vv7sg exactly. I like that thought because these types of formalism are very loosely transposed from something like mathematical formalism. Yes, harmony and tempo and many musical concepts have mathematically precise reasons for being true. However unlike in pure math, you don’t have to adhere to those boundaries with music composition, and sometimes the most interesting results come from forgetting the boundaries exist. Im willing to bet in this instance Radiohead didn’t even think about every time signature change. In some places it probably just “seemed right” to end a bar a beat early, or extend it. That’s also probably why it flows so naturally. They’re a good example of a band who can strike a musical balance, which is not easy once all of these theoretical concepts start to enter the process.

But I played them the HTTF album and Sail To The Moon in particular really impressed her, she was quite taken with it.

This is a great breakdown. I love the quote from Thom Yorke about how the band was counting and struggling, but it came out sounding so smooth and easy. You listen to the song, and it flows just fine, except every once in awhile you get a beat that comes in somewhere you don't quite expect it. It doesn't sound complicated, though; the effect is more of anxiety and unsurety, feeling like something about this is just a little off-kilter. There is discomfort in the song, but it's only when you dig below the surface that you can see why the song feels that way. How much work and strange tricks went into that feeling of being on the wrong foot with the beat over and over again.

You should look at Everything Everything’s: Weights It’s the last song from their debut album, Man Alive. The ending changes time signature every bar or so

Thanks David for this video, I do enjoy your content - and this is one of my favorite Radiohead songs :) However I do think that you understated the importance and function of the outro chords. They are not a 'string of unrelated chords', but specific chords all a Major 3rd apart, (so the roots form an augmented triad) from the C to the E to the Ab (I have always thought of this as G# as this is the major 3rd of the E and also comprises the augmented C chord.). I know you did mention that they are chromatic mediants, but in this case they form a loop endlessly rising. I think it would have been useful to show this on a circle of fifths as it loops around in a triangle (just like the Coltrane changes)- as I think this is a really cool feature of this song.

Really dig the idea of bands sponsoring content like this. Smart cross promotion. Great vid

Yep, nice to see that sponsors are related to the content of the channels. Upcoming artists can promote music through music-related channels and writers can promote their new book through a literature niche channel.

Ahh. Possibly my favorite song. Flows so nicely into Up on the Ladder due to it ending with an Ab major chord up high in the piano. Great track overall ❤️

I love this song, its my second favourite from Hail To The Thief (behind There, There). Sail To The Moon is some of their best piano work to date in my humble opinion.

One of my favorites of Radiohead. Very complex, yet simple sounding, and powerful. It doesn’t ever sound complex for the sake of complexity

I've always had a hard time trying to sing along to this song as I never had an idea of when anything came in. But this explained really well how the song works and I think I'll be able to predict things in the song now haha. It also helps me appreciate this song a lot more as it's always been one of my least favourites off of HTTT.

This is one of their best. The fact that it was about Noah, Thom’s son, and the arc sailing to the Moon. The message he sends his son, magnificent poetry.
