Haha, it's been just over month ago since I requested this so I forgot about it (late night drinking when I did)... When I saw this, I was like, "Who has the good the taste?" and it turned out to be me (I had to check my email and apparently I have NIN and Portishead tracks coming down the pipe so that's pretty cool). Great reaction either way! The track definitely has that lonely spacey vibe (and a similar chord progression to Bowie's "Space Oddity" so it only makes sense). The live string section really takes it over the top, especially when it gets all dissonant at the end, resembling something by Penderecki.

[@maine420grow8]

Glad to see someone else does late night drinking requests.

[@jvig7353]

@@maine420grow8 I'm terrible, but you have no idea how much I appreciate your response!

[@maine420grow8]

@@jvig7353 Speaking for myself I feel things much deeper when I've had a few drinks and/or a few tokes. In that light it makes sense to make requests in the moment, that moment. Almost makes the request more genuine in a way.

[@berlynwall1956]

Good taste indeed my friend!

[@larryinfl80]

The whole album is a masterpiece.

[@that44rdv4rk]

OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac all are. I'm an Amnesiac fanatic, myself.

[@memile]

@Larry Calabrese Art you are right my guy really is a masterpiece. I don't feel like rating albums or anything in life, I dont think their needs to be a better album or a better songs, there are those i prefer, but that doesnt make them better then the others, I just grew to love them, I don't know why I'm saying this here.

[@xx-ug9hn]

Kid A is the greatest record ever IMO, it gets better every year

[@jacksteadman3467]

Moon Shaped Pool is Radiohead’s greatest, and one of the greatest records ever!

[@mocthezuma]

Some context on this song: Thom Yorke wrote this song after he nearly had a breakdown following Radiohead's rapid ascent into stardom and success following the release of "OK Computer" in 1997 and the subsequent heavy touring the band embarked on to promote the album. The low point came after a disastrous performance at the Glastonbury festival where Thom Yorke wanted to end the concert midway through and walk off stage. Ultimately the band completed the set, but later described it as "a form of hell". A week before, they did, what was at that time, their biggest show yet. In Dublin, Ireland in front of around 38.000 people. That was the 7th show of the tour. The 1st show of the tour was in Lisbon, Portugal, and the band played in a small club and couldn't sell out the tickets even. In front of an audience of around 400 people. So in a couple of weeks they went from playing in front of 400 to playing in front of 38.000, and Thom Yorke had problems dealing with the pressure. The lyrics at the start of this song are: "That there, That's not me. I go, Where I please. I walk through walls, I float down the Liffey. I'm not here, This isn't happening." Liffey is the river that flows through the center of Dublin. Thom Yorke was also inspired by R.E.M. front-man Michael Stipe after Yorke contacted Stipe, and asked him for advise on how to deal with the stress he was experiencing. Stipe told Yorke to relieve the stress by repeating to himself: "I'm not here. This isn't happening." A quote from an interview with Yorke: "That song is about the whole period of time that OK Computer was happening. We did the Glastonbury Festival and this thing in Ireland. Something snapped in me. I just said, ‘That’s it. I can’t take it anymore.’ And more than a year later, we were still on the road. I hadn’t had time to address things. The lyrics came from something Michael Stipe said to me. I rang him and said, ‘I cannot cope with this.’ And he said, ‘Pull the shutters down and keep saying, ‘I’m not here, this is not happening."

[@TeezMcGee]

Thank you for educating me! 🔥🔥🔥

[@valkyriesif]

Watch "the story of radiohead's best song" video on yt it explains a lot

[@paulhewes7333]

The only song on Kid A that was written the “normal” way. All the other tracks were music with lyrics added later.

[@cryonicbonkers7880]

Yup ireland.

[@RustinChole]

@@paulhewes7333 optimistic and in limbo were also, they played those songs pretty early tho not as early as this song. I saw them play this song on the OKC tour in 1998.

[@pebblesanddirt]

Remind me to send you some paid requests for Flaming Lips - they’re another modern master

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Feeling Yourself Disintegrate?

[@pebblesanddirt]

@@ExileOnDaytonStreet possibly my favorite song of theirs

[@heats13crazyness]

@@pebblesanddirt what is the light?/the observer...can't let go...the terror...you and me sellin weed

[@Faux_Fox]

Johnny Greenwood's discordant string arrangement is terrifying and gorgeous

[@SaintPhoenixx]

Was just thinking this. The final minute or so is haunting. Its so dissonant, it makes me feel disorientated but it works.

[@thefunpolice]

Jonny is an incredible musical avalanche, a force of nature.

[@pebblesanddirt]

I didn’t pay enough attention to Radiohead for a long time. Then I got random free VIP tix to a show in 2003 and THEY BLEW ME AWAY on Thom Yorke’s bday. Walked away a lifetime fan.

[@ijustneedmyself]

That is so cool. What a way to be converted! Lol.

[@interdimensionalsteve8172]

I saw them live once in Vancouver maaaany years ago. Was in my early twenties. I was high on acid, my ex-girlfriend mushrooms. I'll always remember when this song played, my girl started leaning against me until she quite literally "fainted" and fell over. The look on her face after I pulled her back onto her feet was indescribable. Afterwards she told me that she'd never experiences such an "out of body experience" before in her life - the music took her somewhere she'd never been before. Needless to say, the concert was f*cking incredible. Right up there with the best Tool shows I've seen (seen them 6 times).

[@BlackMarketHoney]

How to Disappear Completely floors me every time I hear it. I love how the Orchestra gets all twisted up towards the end, then the bass comes in and resolves it. It is like a being stuck in a storm at sea, then you see the lighthouse. The bass pulls you back to safety. Stunning. Radiohead have said that it is one of the songs that they are most proud of. All the best. Rich in Sweden.

[@spookytooth69]

Perfect.

[@wojakc7745]

This song was one of the rare occasions where I didn’t need more than one listen to recognize how great the song is. It’s perfect imo

[@Hollowsmith]

Radiohead is one of those bands where their songs are so complex that it often takes many listens before you like it as much as you will. A lot of musicians just mess around until they play a groove they like, then make a song of it. Those type of songs sound best the first time you hear them but they have a short shelf-life. Radiohead are legit composers. They think through every sound of every layer of everything, and listen to their own songs as they're making them to optimize for the long-haul. That's why their stuff sounds even more captivating the 10th time than the 1st time.

[@robster191]

React to Pyramid song! One of their greatest tracks if not the best (imo :))

[@buro.film.woovee]

ive seen radiohead 13 times. they are THE best band for the past 20 years, bar none. no band comes close to radiohead

[@lena-Ramone]

Your lucky i want to see them once been into them since the 90s

[@DocRobert]

This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. Numb yourself out vibe.

[@paigel.969]

Terrific reaction, please continue your Radiohead journey. Smartest band around -Reckoner (live from The Basement) -Weird Fishes (Basement) -Lotus Flower (video) LOVE TuneYards -POWA (live from Sound Opinions) It's crazy wonderful! I really think you'll be into it ☮️💜 keep up the great work!

[@sarahzentexas]

Co-signed!

[@ijustneedmyself]

Pretty sure he's done Weird Fishes. Have a look!

[@berlynwall1956]

Great tracks

[@MichaelLeroi]

The studio version of Reckoner is better for first time listeners imo. Mostly for the string arrangements

[@flybeep1661]

Great, another idiot recommending the basement version of Reckoner while the studio version IS the superior version. People need to stop.

[@Ruben8275]

I adore this album. I adore all Radiohead’s albums…

[@halfalligator6518]

those detuning violins creep me out at the end. Every time. Something so otherworldly about this album. Not all their music is this heavy. Sometimes they're more "fun". But yeah it's a band that pretty much puts anxiety into music form.

[@thebadgerno.1872]

Great Request…Beautiful Song, Really really Super Album KID A by Radiohead. They make such good songs…there definitely up there, always solid tunes & artwork & sooooooo good Live.

[@lunabear]

Liked it even before you started talking. One of the best albums, aligns perfectly in my memories with such a powerful time in my life. Bittersweet.

[@diaznuts5947]

wow, hands down best raction ever! love how you took notes man

[@TeezMcGee]

You’re appreciated family, thank you 🙌

[@jameshannagan7830]

This never used to be one of my favorites but it has grown on me over the years I can appreciate and understand what they were trying to do but when I look back they were so young to decide to decide to try to deconstruct music now i am 56 I get it.

[@elysehfm8797]

Wow! This is gorgeous....

[@adamdodgshon638]

This album came out at a very very weird time in my life and couldn’t have been a more perfect soundtrack. Proof that the band was here to stay by not just doing what everyone expected them to and just keep remaking OK Computer over and over again.

[@anujgadhwali1705]

That there, that's not me I go where i please ❤ Thom phrased it himself ✌️

[@lorilove2255]

Out of body experience this is the very definition of what this song is for me and the haunting vocals also the instrumentation is sheer genius 👌

[@chaosmos24]

STROBE LIGHTS AND BLOWN SPEAKERS

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

This song brought tears to my eyes when they played it at my first Radiohead show. It's been there for me to provide catharsis when I'm at my lowest, and to remind me of what beauty can be when I'm not. I absolutely love your commentary where you say that it's not just a dark sadness in this song, especially with that resolution in the ending. I cannot possibly emphasize enough how much I love this song. And it's (probably) not even my favorite song of theirs.

[@CA5124]

WOW 👏 Relatable lyrics here ! Just pure 🔥💯

[@trismaccarran9950]

Have tested the waters with Radiohead, Karma Police & Creep come to mind, but never dove into the full experience. This feels both trippy and transcendental, ocean currents pulling you along till you willingly submit to the journey. Like 🎶

[@larryinfl80]

This entire album is a must listen.

[@ijustneedmyself]

They've got songs so much better than those. This is one of them. Dive in! 😊

[@damienjoseph7540]

True love Waits and Last flowers, I love but yeah so much to discover like the Beatles

[@charlieblockclocksnow]

I'd recommend listening to them a lot more. For context creep is one of their worst songs. Which is insane

[@paulhewes7333]

To really understand what the band went through when this song was built, watch the documentary “Meeting People is Easy” which chronicles the tour that came after Ok Computer.

[@miriam8376]

I love that you wait until the end to give comments instead of stopping a song over and over. I can’t watch music reactors very much because it interrupts the experience to talk through it or pause it. I like your approach better.

[@voiceover2191]

Start wasn't white noise, just a dissonant chord by the strings in a different key than the song. Makes it very eerie.

[@BlackMarketHoney]

The bass is the heart beat of the song. It stops during the twisted orchestra section, then brings the song back to life.

[@majormajormajortom]

Radiohead: makes a song about the crushing, paralysing, dehumanizing weight of apathy and social anxiety. Teez: yeah, this song is only a little dark 🤣 Just teasing though, keep it up the great reactions!

[@elvira-qc9or]

Glad you appreciate this song as much as I do. Might be the most beautiful song I have ever heard. You hit the nail on the head when you said his high notes sounded like an angel. His voice is otherworldly!

[@Music-tg5is]

You really react to the best music imo. One construction suggestion if I may? Perhaps, don't feel compelled to keep a list of the technical elements of a song, and just relay how the song made you 'feel' in your end commentary/analysis. I think that's probably what most of your audience want to know anyway. Either way, keep up the great work! :)

[@TeezMcGee]

That’s great feedback! I’ll implement that, thank you 🙌

[@ijustneedmyself]

That's an excellent suggestion. I think it's fine to talk about the technical elements, but it's also definitely good to talk about how it made you feel, too.

[@adspur]

This song is a true masterpiece!Still gives me chills still today.

[@MaddelynKayKay]

I'm always jealous of anyone's first time hearing this song. I wish I could erase it and start over again.

You have a good ear my friend. ! This band is special!

[@mickyhurd5394]

It's a work of art...from 5.12 it just an outer body experience....amazing track and band...great job too buddy

[@veevamm3642]

The sound you thought was a violin is actually an ONDES MARTENOT. Jonny Greenwood has a fascination with this instrument and uses it quite a lot. Its a haunting sound....

[@veevamm3642]

😭😭😭 every time.... Is like the first time.

[@DavidTate-nn5ie]

Essentially a song reflecting singer Thom Yorke's inability to face huge fame in 1997 or so. His now life long friend Michael Stipe advised him to remind himself I'm not here This isn't happening

[@Veggamattic]

This is Tom's favourite song to perform live.

this song represents the struggle the singer faced during all his tours..when all the strings go all jumbled is the PRESSURE building up and drowning everything out, but the relief comes when the song calms down, all is well

This was their most beautiful song until they released In Rainbows, then Nude became their most beautiful song. Codex is also beautiful.
