First Time Hearing Radiohead CREEP (SPEECHLESS!) | Dereck Reacts

[@glambertini4709]

You didn't know Radiohead ? Well my dear Dereck, a new world is opening to you, they're fantastic ! Radiohead and INXS the same day, a nice day indeed !

[@skumflum3768]

He knows Radiohead…. This just fit the narrative. Sorry

[@MowMowMowDiittyMow]

INXS: Falling Down the Mountain, Burn For you, Beautiful Girl, Don't Change, Devil Inside, Mediate, Never tear Us Apart, Original Sin, Dancing on the Jetty, Just keep walking, Listen like Theives, Need you Tonight.

[@molokoko786]

You were going so well till you compared Radioheads Porsche with INXS’s Lada!

[@FURTHER_ADO]

See this is why I've had to begrudgingly put RH in the "Most Overrated" list.

[@sylviedonnelacouture9105]

Un classique, j ai 64 ans et j écoute toujours radiohead

[@ronpotts6385]

I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1993, as a 19-year-old college student. It taps into a very relatable feeling of not feeling good enough for other people, be it someone you're attracted to, or even someone you want to befriend. This is a song written for all the awkward people, the freaks who can't seem to fit in. The person telling the story meets someone he's desperately attracted to, but he has this debilitating inferiority complex that keeps him from being able to speak to her.

[@rozpickering1239]

We've all had that feeling at some point ,which is why it touched so many people

[@reynaballadares9421]

Increíble... Pues es una canción de todos!!!

[@D.Smith178]

From Radiohead, you can listen "No Surprises" with strange instruments and a beautiful melody. this song is use in many movies/series for tragic moments

[@danic9304]

I can't listen to that track - it's like instant timetravel. That album was my go to escape during a really difficult break up, like almost 20 years ago and the two tracks No Surprises and Karma Police are so deeply embedded they can still bring me to tears

[@barbarahoraist43]

LOVED your reaction to Creep❣️It’s 1 of my favorite songs, & I’m a 73-year-old great-grandma🥰

[@lecancellieri]

Their song "Fake Plastic Trees" is similarly powerful, raw, sad, and beautiful.

[@jessicaphillips8422]

Paranoid Android is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! It’s a long one, and a rollercoaster, but you feel allllll the emotions!! And it a freakin MASTERPIECE!!

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

A total masterpiece, but I absolutely hate the awful animated video that accompanies it. It totally ruins and detracts from the song for me. If Derek reacts to Paranoid Android I really hopes he watches the incredible live performance from the BBC's Later With Jools Holland's show from 1997. Nothing can better that performance of the song for me! :)

[@DereckReacts]

@@pant-hootingchimp8917 interested...send me a link please

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

@@DereckReacts Here's the link to their live performance on Jools Holland's BBC show from 1997. It's by far the best version. The awful cartoon video version totally ruins the song, imo and takes away the focus from the brilliant music. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKuzpaWVo5KgbqM

[@fredcarcopino9253]

radiohead is an iconic group . this sonhg could be a start for a playlist

[@damianreid2452]

Loved your reaction. That's how I reacted almost 29 years ago when I first heard it on the radio. There've been many cover versions over the years but none with the pure, raw emotion of the original. Goose bumps and moist eyes by the 1st chorus.

[@adenauerlemos7926]

When Jonny does the octaves on the guitar and Tom follows along in one breath, it's fantastic.

[@Reani71]

Congratulations for finally finding the best band today. Creep was only the start of what happened to be an immaculate journey they took us on. Their albums OK Computer and Kid A are amongst the best albums of all times which is not only my opinion but commonly acknowledged by music critics around the globe. For more Radiohead greatness I recommend listening to songs like Paranoid Android, There There, Fake Plastic Trees, Exit Music (For a Film), No Surprises, How to Disappear Completely, Street Spirit, Pyramid Song, Jigsaw Falling into Place, Reckoner, Burn the Witch... I could go on and on, they're just effing brilliant.

[@ross8884]

The Bends, great rocking album, OK Computer: PERFECTION for me, listened to it 100s of times, like SOME of Kid A but was going off my taste from that point BUT we all part of the family and we like diff things :) Never forget hearing Paranoid Android on a pub jukebox... what the hell is this? amazing.

[@SpaceCattttt]

I think you meant to say "The best band 25 years ago". I mean, hey, I admire Radiohead for daring to be experimental in the disposable age, but there's also no denying that their heyday was in 1997. They made one decent album and a bona fide masterpiece (the last great album) before committing career suicide with the ice berg album and progressively getting worse and worse.

[@carloseduardostofelli6949]

[@ThomCurley]

The perfect reaction to Radiohead.

[@WickedYogaDoll]

THANK YOU DERECK! Told you it's iconic... it gives everyone goosebumps. It's so relatable. Everyone has that moment when they feel they just don't belong. It's been covered many times since but no one can beat this original!

[@chanaplotke6218]

Yes, I cried too. Such a powerful song and haven't we all felt these emotions whether over a person we think we aren't good enough for or some other self-esteem negative feeling.

[@nickybrooks6942]

So glad you listened to the origal version rather then the edited one , it gives the song so much more meaning and power.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

💯

[@ad33861]

I recommend "How To Disappear Completely" by Radiohead. It's incredibly emotional.

[@olicc]

Their best song, IMO.

[@erink695]

It hits you because everybody has felt this way at one time or another. It resonates.

[@jaycordner3890]

Thom Yorke is a genius. Beautiful voice and an artist bar none. Radiohead easy in my top 5 bands of all time...

[@elodie.l8066]

Incredible song

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Absolutely LOVED every moment of your reaction.

[@sonnyjames8922]

I remember when this came out in 1992. It was played at least 10 times a day on 1067.7 KROQ here in LA. I was in college at the time, used to hear it at the oddest times driving to and from class. Music 🎶 was still good then.

[@Monica-gc5dh]

I agree...music was still good in the 90's and early 2000's...

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

​@@Monica-gc5dh Amen!!.

[@jameswilson1522]

Thank You ! You ! Understand ! Definitely one of the greatest songs of the 21st Century ! Also, an incredible reaction ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 !

[@Mehwei]

Interesting that you mentioned The Batman. Nirvana’s “Something in the Way “ played throughout that film, and is of the same era as Creep, and has a very similar, menacing vibe.

[@gloriahead]

This is R A D I O H E A D You can’t understand it, you can”t express it, you can”t even describe it, you just can love it, that”s it, that “s MUSIC.

You just opend pandora's box... The masters Radiohead. All their music, their live performances are superb also. I sincerely hope you dive in ! Great reaction.

[@lilymoon528]

Hello Dereck, yes "speechless" is the proper reaction ! It still does the same for me and I know the song !

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

It's always done the same to me, as well.

[@buchholtzmathieu1810]

Thanks a million! So bewitching and so addictive song! Could listen to it over and over again. This band is so incredible and magical. In 1992, when I discovered them I was shocked and fell madly in love with their musical universe. They became my fav band. Their three following CDs are also masterpieces.

[@LetsChillPage]

Dereck, Thanks for this one. Again, a must-have rock, a title that must be in any disco worthy of the name. What he describes, we've all experienced it one day, whether we're (physically) lovely or not. We've all known an inaccessible (or believed to be) "holy grail" that made us feel weak, ugly, and ridiculous. Sometimes even in competition with people who seemed to us to have all the advantages and therefore gave us an unenviable image of ourselves. Peace, and please, folks ...Love yourself; you deserve it. N.B.: Dereck there's a French movie from 2004 using this song in an unexpected scene bringing together *Johnny Depp* and *Charlotte Gainsbourg* (Serge's daughter) and directed by *Éric Rochant,* to whom we owe the hit series "The Bureau" (Le Bureau des Légendes" is the original French title). *"Happily Ever After - Music Store scene"* kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaDVaXyFbMebsK8

[@jorgneumann5867]

Thom Yorke as voice and Jonny Greenwood on Instruments, best of 90's ! ;-))))

[@toumlachlagrapp2282]

Probably one of my favorite songs of all time

[@fifoo1140]

Haley Reinhard’s cover for Postmodern Jukebox… Just awesome, as all her covers for PMJ.

[@josephgillmer10]

Second this - if you cried on this version, listen to her cover. Off the hook.

[@josephconsoli4128]

I was never really a metalhead, but I did get this CD - the song just smacks you in the face. "What the Hell am I doing here.....I don't belong here...." who can't relate to that?!

[@sonsofthunder915]

Thom was in college, he liked this girl but was afraid to approarch her. Finally one night he got drunk enough to work up the courage to talk to her. She didn't respond. Later Creep put on a concert. He heard she was in the audience, he had a panic attack. I bet today she's sorry how she treated him back then though.

[@valeried.f4961]

Can it be a more perfect song!? You feel it on your skin and in your soul,simply great. Amazing 💔

[@b.slocumb7763]

Now immediately go to Postmodern Jukebox and listen to Haley Reinhart’s amazing cover of this. You haven’t lived until you see that version.

[@wildeone1645]

Yes, Hayley's version is outstanding and she did it in one take also, I also believe she had a cold at the time.

[@seandobson6221]

This came out when I was just starting college in the mid 90s and it hit hard back then. You can hear Thom’s pain through the whole song.

[@sacha_geek]

YEAH ! Finally !

[@hellypoppy5739]

I’m 73 yrs old, I LOVE this song…..

[@willrichardson519]

So much more to Radiohead than this. The Bends is a phenomenal rock album, then they created OK Computer, a complete transcendent masterpiece!

[@susanjohnston8267]

This is hands down a great song from such a dark deep perspective. I find it relates in many ways to a lot scenarios involving perception of a creep . Some people liken it to the nobody at school admiring the it girl from a distance to Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lamb type of creep. I listen to Psycho Killer by Talking Heads after this song. Could you please review Bloodsport for All by Carter USM.

[@elliebwe12234]

Yay, I love radio head, karma police is also one of my faves. Also, you need to react to the smiths 💜

[@Giulia-mn8kg]

Now you have to listen to the cover Mimi & Josi did on the voice kids Germany. Seriously that was the best audition I have ever seen, globally.

I got to see Radio Head in a outdoor concert at a university in California. Great show. Angst at it's best.

[@paulineharvey5916]

Watching this reminded me of the first time I heard Thom Yorke's voice (on Paranoid Android) I was totally blown away by them and still a fan 23 years later

I'm the same age and yes, totally agree!

[@arkphoenix340]

If you love this...react to "Paranoid Android"...top of his decade

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

Yes, the mighty epic that is Paranoid Android, but their live version from Later With Jools Holland which aired on the BBC in 1997. NOT the awful animated video that totally ruins the song, imo. The song needs know distractions! I really hope you'll watch it! :)

[@LordRahl1975]

IIRC, the guitarist really didn’t like the song when he first heard it which is why he added the “guitar blasts” to toughen it up.

[@nathalieprechner5414]

Top 100 songs EVER made - It was a song for a girl he fell in love with in uni but she ignored him. Once they became famous, she went to one of their gigs - the lead singer KNEW and he almost couldn't go on stage, he was a nervous wreck. PROPA backstory but 100% true

Karma Police IS an another good one. They are incredible on stage ! Xxxl dear Dereck

[@marcharley6465]

This song quickly became an anthem for outsiders, people with low self-esteem and those who can't come to terms with being different to society's expectation of "normal". The irony and joy is that when the band play it live, it's a collective celebration for all of the hundreds or thousands of outsiders in the audience.

[@viddiot]

Great that you've found one of the best music groups of our lifetime. (No alarms, and No exaggeration). It took me a long time to understand their artistry, but once they clicked for me they clicked all the way on.

[@nagilum]

That was such an awesome alternative rock hit back in the day. It’s not a song that I over listened to because it takes you on such an emotional journey. With a sanguine state of mind he excepts his solemn fate.

[@Pilutta100]

[@apkelly01]

The lead singer said he doesn't want to sing this anymore because the man who wrote it, the one who experienced it and who it represents no longer exist anymore. Brooklyn Duo do a lovely classical version.

[@maleym2439]

The singer, Thom Yorke (25 at the time of release) and Johnny Greenwood( brother of other guitarist and 22 at this time) KILLED this song. Semi-autobiographical for Yorke....like show me a guy in his early 20s who doesn't have serious rejection stories.... ( interestingly enough , in a few short years those "hot to trot" babes turn 35...and the same guys now reject those girls, and go for the younger ones.), And now the guys have cash, fame, maturity, jobs, homes, cars, disposable income... but the 35 year old girls are just on a ticking bio clock that NOTHING can slow down or stop....If they haven't nailed down their partner by 35 they are in for a bad time.
