FIRST TIME HEARING RADIOHEAD - CREEP | REACTION

[@davidboyle2476]

Speaking as a 65-year-old man, who has been listening to music since the mid-1960s, I still think that this is close to being the best single ever recorded. Perfection.

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

I havent heard the song that they supposedly borrowed parts of to make this song. Have you heard it? And what do you think?

[@petergreen2552]

@@anthonyfuqua6988 The Air that I breathe by the Hollies.

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

@@petergreen2552 yeah. I have heard that song. Maybe the chord progressions are similar but its at a different tempo. I don't know about that but I guess Jonny Greenwood did admit to subconsciencly using it. Radiohead's record company sued a band for emulating "Creep". If Radiohead used it then how do they sue someone else for using it?

[@catman2629]

You wierdo !

[@iainsnashall9969]

100%. Thom's voice is an orchestra in this song. Check out fake plastic trees too.

[@hilarywilkes7853]

@@chrisdavis8650 True story! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

[@beriandavies2111]

This is based on a true experience. While at university, Thom Yorke, lead singer was attracted to a beautiful girl there. He could only look on from a distance, as he didn't think himself worthy of approaching her. When he hits the high notes, you really see the pain etched on his face, and you so correctly guessed, the song is about self loathing and worthlessness. I love how you 'feel' and almost become a part of the songs/videos you watch 👍👏👏👏

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

You know she came to a gig, was in the front row and Thom vomited backstage in fear of playing in front of her. Poor sod.

[@kieranhardy581]

@@DawnSuttonfabfour so when's hugh grant playing him in a movie?

[@theleafshandsomedevil1552]

Oddly enough he ended up hating this song. Partly due to the embarrassment of making it for that girl, and also because this style of music was what Radiohead was known for by the mainstream, despite them going in an entirely different direction. Still a great song. I do love the stuff from OK Computer more though

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

@@kieranhardy581 LOL. I don't believe Hugh would be prepared to be ginger for a film! Rupert Grint would be good at least hes a real ginger (this matters to us, you know)

Thom Yorke : "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdoo" Empress : ."You ARE special, ....you are NOT a weirdo!!"

[@justincowan7486]

Radiohead is great. "Creep" is arguably their most famous song but they have such a wide range of song variety. Their sound has changed a lot over the years. They are an amazing band. Thom Yorke has even branched out as a producer and recently remixed an MF DOOM song. I strongly urge you to check out more Radiohead. Once again, you gave a heartfelt reaction. So much love to you, Empress. ❤

[@paavobergmann4920]

jup. " Fake Plastic Trees" is also a very good and very deep song

[@BetaBreaking]

Lots from the music from the late 90s to 00s era is gold. I consider Ok Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac a dystopian existential trilogy of albums that interconnect and play to the theme of modernism and isolationism in modern society and the changing pace of pre 21st century culture and thinking to 21st. I can't listen to Kid A without Amnesiac and Ok with the latter. Love Radiohead ❤️

[@feckafeck1]

Obviously all subjective but my favourite is bullet proof I wish I was. Used to adore this song. What a great reaction, such a lovely lass

[@StefLuvsFoo]

Another goosebumps every time song. This era was just the best. So glad I was in my prime and got to live it.

[@nickparsons337]

Me too. There will never be another era of music as diverse, wonderful, and magical as the 90's. As a child of the 80's and a teen of the 90's; I'm so thankful that I got to experience so much incredible timeless music. Often imitated, but never duplicated. Our generation got beyond lucky.

[@Ryu-Q363]

I know the song is based on the lead singer's experience with a crush he had in university but the song just describes the way I feel about every person I have ever tried to contact or befriend in my life so accurately, I was born with autism on the very high end of the spectrum which really takes a toll on my social skills and my outlook on things, making people alienated by me...to the point that nowadays I'm intimidated by trying to aquire friends because all I can see myself as is a freak that only makes people run from him and is not good enough to deserve friends and loved ones... While I am well aware of how stupid and tactless it is to vent this on a song reaction video, I just had to share my personal meaning of the song

[@derrycooke6948]

Me too, my dude.

[@vallivergano239]

You are loved!

[@dawnjarvis5637]

Not stupid or tactless. Thank you for opening up with your truth.

[@JeffJacobsMusic]

Having watched the show, "Love on the Spectrum," I feel for your pain, my friend. Do not give up hope. You do not need to be a "social person" to be happy in this life. All you need is a good friend or two. Like she says, if you're not being appreciated by the people around you, find somewhere else to spend your time where people appreciate you. Go to places where people who share similar interests/hobbies/passions to you are, and with enough time, your desires will be fulfilled.

[@tyraohara156]

You are special. I don't have autism, but I feel this song deep in my soul! Life is hard❤

[@timneale5657]

A favorite of mine. Wasn't sure how you were going to feel about it, but your reaction to it was awesome as always.

[@erudite6640]

This song is a masterpiece, hauntingly beautiful. Like all great artists he touches something deep within you. What you felt is what many feel when they first hear this song. For this reason it is treasured.

This song came out during my highschool years, and I had come from an abusive childhood riddled with bullies. This song spoke for me when I was unable to speak. Beautiful melancholy soul.

Your reaction to this song is beautiful. You were careful to understand what the song is about and to sympathize with the vocalist. I love how you spoke encouraging words to him toward the end.

'I felt the pain and resentment in his voice' so so spot on Joy-Jean. You are very perceptive.. Keep it up girl luv your assessments!

[@RustinChole]

That’s the thing about Radiohead. You feel it. “Whatever makes you happy. Whatever you want...”

[@mattpotter8725]

Great reaction, and you're right it was a very personal song to Thom, who wrote the song about not being good enough for a girl he really liked when he was in school, being so inadequate, someone who didn't even know he existed at the time, which I think is relatable to do many of us. Well I'd love to know where that girl is now and what she thinks about this, if she knows who she is!!! For a long time Thom and the band got so tired of being labelled as the band that did Creep that they refused to play it at their live events as they didn't want the song to define them, although I think in recent years (when events were possible) they have started playing it again which I think is a good thing as it's an amazing song and so anthemic!!! If doesn't define them, they have so many great songs and albums, but this has to be included in them.

[@556colt]

One of my most favorite songs! I think everyone can relate to feeling like this at some point in their life.

[@SevenEllen]

I love how you really get this song. :-) The story behind this song was that it's about a girl he saw at Uni whom he thought was absolutely stunning and wonderful, but he was too scared to talk to her, so he just followed her around for a while. One day, he got drunk and told her how he felt but accidentally scared her away by doing so. I love how much raw emotion he injects into his music, even if the style isn't to everyone's taste. That's why Thom Yorke shines - He's different and proud.

[@matthewleonhardt2407]

Another excellent reaction and those earrings and your expressions are always appreciated empress! Thank you for being you!

This is the first ever proper reaction video I’ve seen of creep… considering how it’s Radiohead’s biggest song im suprised there’s not more!

[@frontprochproduction]

Sadly, this song is true. Sometimes, you can love someone who doesn't love you. This song is about someone who is living that and knows why that person doesn't love them and never will. I have been living with the truth of this song for almost 10 years. Trust me, sometimes the truth hurts. That's what this song is all about...

[@DougHanson2769]

Gorgeous voice. The dynamics were perfectly done, The soft falsetto / head tone in the high notes conveyed his sadness but then his full voice came out - it was a triple forte’ loud with a straight tone expressing his real grief and he wants to basically give up. When this song first came out, people thought it was EMOTIONAL DYNAMITE. and they were right. I felt his his pain, like being alone or losing someone I truly loved. I’m not a lyrical person. I’m trying. But it’s tough to hear it and that’s within every genre. The amount of instruments were perfect, giving the vocalist room to shine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the song and lyrics. You’ve got a great ear for music. To put positivity in such a self-deprecating song was unexpected and I really liked that. Thank You again

You are a stunning beautiful lady and human being, and your empathy is amazing. You are exactly right....he is building up with depression and frustration about how he's letting himself even think he's good enough for this perfect girl who seems to not even acknowledge his existence, much less think of him as a creep, so he shows up where she's at, prepared to put himself out there and tell her how he feels, and becomes overwhelmed with fear and embarrassment ( "What the hell am I doing here?") and has to "RUN"!
