Thought this group would enjoy my Radiohead / The Smile story, so I'm sharing it here with you all. On August 5th, 1997 I was Lucky😉enough to have the best front row seat at the State Theatre (seat 1A) to see Radiohead in Minneapolis on their OK Computer tour. The show was so amazing, of course. Remember - Thom was standing about 3 feet from me the whole time! They even false-started Talk Show Host, and had a good quick laugh about it. After the show ended, one of their people asked me if I wanted to hang out with the band. An already unbelievable night was about to get even better. As I walked to the backroom wearing my "Generic Sticky Pass" on my shirt, Thom was the first person I saw in the room. He invited me to sit with him and we hung out for probably a half an hour, no exaggeration. He was super nice & generous with his time, calling me by name throughout our hang, probably because he has a younger brother Andy and it was easy for him to remember.😊I had just recently turned 22 and he was 28. He asked me if I wanted to meet the band and he took me around to everyone. We spent probably 5 minutes or so with Jonny and just a couple minutes with each of the others. This was pre digital cameras and I didn't even ask him for an autograph, but he offered to sign my setlist and he gave me the 2 other posters that you see here, that he also signed (in his older 'doodle' type of signature) & wrote some things on. He did it in non-permanent marker, so they have faded over the years unfortunately. Oh yeah, when I walked into the room he first said to me "You were in the front row, right?" and that is why he wrote "Andy on front" on the setlist - so cool. He also wrote "Meeting People is Easy" on one of the other pieces and I wonder if that may have been the first time that he ever wrote or said that publicly, because the film by the same name did not come out for a year later. I've seen Radiohead a bunch of times over the years and Thom solo, but this will forever be my greatest concert experience. Now fast-forward 25 years & 4 months...I waited to meet the band in Milwaukee after The Smile concert. I spent a few minutes talking with Thom, as he was the last to sign my album. Over the years, I've wondered what I would say to him after all this time if I ever met him again. I certainly wasn't going to ask him if he remembered me & he certainly would not have, but I did say to him "We met & hung out 25 years ago in Minneapolis" and he looked at me, smiled and said "We did?!" I had re-introduced myself to him when he first came up to me and the last thing he said to me was "See ya Andy"...again, remembering my name.😎

I’m sure someone here will have already mentioned that the bass line in this song is so sporadic because it’s a temporary bass line, a place holder, lay to give the band an idea what was going to be played, until they could write something better and more substantial. When they listened back to it, they loved how it sounded and kept it.

Congratulations, a really superior analysis that suggests how traditional theory fits with "how they probably approached things" in the studio. When I was in college (late 1980s), I had a music history professor ask "what music of today will still be around in 200 years?" Historical perspective, you know? And I've always thought in 200 years, we will look back to Radiohead as the Bartok or Stravinsky of these times. I cannot speak highly enough of OK Computer; it is the "Rite of Spring" of our era.

Not too many chords in this song, but still a pretty sophisticated piece. Major/minor tension, modal elements, some seriously well arranged guitars, and a beautiful melody. When they really lean into the lydian sound in the chorus, it is unbelievably beautiful. I love that super bright sound, Brilliant song kicking off an amazing album. Very well analyzed!

Those five guys (apart from Nigel) were all just school buddies who started a band and had this vision of it being their lives, I reckon. "Anyone can Play Guitar" from their debut spells that out for me. Then came "The Bends " and then this! This album revolutionized music and pop culture in ways that so many people are probably unaware of, but it's true as can be. They went out into the country and recorded this album in what was supposed to be this old haunted house, just them and Nigel, locked away from the world for as long as it took. And I'll be damned if they didn't produce the goods, hey? Of course there were people at their label who were like, "This is way too complex for modern audiences," and "This is depressing as," etc... But they stuck to their guns and thank the gods for that! And I couldn't agree with you more; the way this song opens the album up to us, it just doesn't get any better that that. The entire track list - its content and order - is perfect from beginning to end. Are you going to check the whole album out? I'd be mega-excited for "Subterranean Homesick Alien" if you are, and naturally "Exit music" for the Baz Luhrmann "Romeo and Juliet" soundtrack is gonna keep me spellbound, too. I play these tunes myself all the time, and of course I stop here and there and marvel at the magic of what's been done in the harmony and melody, with the textures and different batty instruments that Johnny seems to have this need to bring into the work. Damn, I love them so much.

Long reaction? That couldn't have been more than ten min... THIRTY MINUTES?!? Can the waft of a warm breeze keep you aloft for thirty minutes? 😍 This is by far my favorite breakdown of a Radiohead song ever. So detailed and deeply appreciative of the impact sonically and emotionally of every detail. I'm like you with lyrics: some just leap out as touchstones for a song, like "in an interstellar burst I'm back to save the universe" and then I can go for years and years and never know others, just part of the wash of the music that occupies my senses. Thank you!

This was a great breakdown, and I can tell you're legit because you hum "this is a (insert interval here)". One crucial thing about this song that I don't think gets enough credit, and I can't explain it in your terms because I'm just a guitarist, is the way the outro lead riff jumps up an octave for just a couple of notes and then drops back into the comfort zone. They didn't play it that way live usually and I understand why (it lacks the punch needed...again, guitarist terms...) but on the album that difference always was special with the way it mixed with the vocals. Anyway, really enjoyed the video. It's great to understand the "why" behind it all.

I guess it can be two things at once, but I was always under the impression this whole song is about a horrible car accident Thom was in. One in which an airbag literally saved his life and the existential guilt he had for surviving it. I know for awhile and possibly still, he hates going in vehicles because of it and generally tries to avoid them if he can. I'm not trying to insinuate you're wrong, but do you know where you heard that from? I'm one of those die hard obsessive fans and read tons of interviews/books and don't recall hearing that one, but it's possible I've forgotten or just never run into that fact before.

@@GizzyDillespee They've said in interviews that they take ideas from all over the place lyrically even in the same song so the unfulfilling answer is it depends. They do loathe pop culture (especially Thom) so it's very possible some of them are. Unfortunately they generally don't like "explaining" lyrics or songs (at least they didn't in the past) so getting a black and white answer is very difficult for most of them.

The bass parts. As someone obsessed with Radiohead in the late 90’s I tried to read anything I could about them and recorded so much crap on VHS whenever I could and wore them out rewatching. Anywho, I read an interview some place that Colin recorded the bass parts on the album with the full intent to write more and come back to fill in all the gaps but the gappy almost random bass part took on a life of its own and was kept. Really fits with the glitchy drum sounds and chaotic idea of a car crash IMO. Appreciate the video, I’ll be subscribing 👏🏻

Airbag is one of my favourite SONGS, let alone by Radiohead. (It's hugely under-rated by fans.) Apparently, it was inspired by Thom being in a car crash and surviving ("I am born again"); I love how the instrumentation and music sound like elements of a car crash, from the crunching riff - which is amazing to play on guitar, you just whack the bottom E string and then jam a finger on the first fret, and which 'crashes' the major and minor notes together - to the fizzing hi-hats and sleigh bells which imitate smashing glass, along with the syncopated, crashing-metal drum pattern, inspired by DJ Shadow, whose amazing 'Entroducing' album was massive at the time (see also the 'breakdown' section). I can't believe you don't dance to it! I have to shake my head, Thom-style, until it almost falls off. 28:35 Close! It's a musical car crash! (But not a bad one.) 1:11-1:28 Is this how the American version of Airbag / OK Computer starts? In the (UK) version, there's no swelling run-in, it just cuts to the riff: 'UH-ERRRRR'! Much better.

That opening riff changed my life… I had never heard a riff or melody solo starting a song like that (or in a song period?!) that long (did you mention how many bars that opening riff is? I never count 😂. I’m guessing 16 or 32?) That song and album and seeing them live on tour in 98 for it, all changed my life forever, more than any other music I heard before or since! It was great getting to share ATX’s best Ethiopian food with you and others a few years ago Ixi! I was the one with the brand new “white af” shoes you commented on, and I mentioned your “taco” hat was also brand new and super white 😂 Aster’s rules!! Been following your channel since your first or 2nd NIN song breakdown, and I love how you’ve refined your style! I’m sure your channel will only get bigger and help more people deepen their knowledge of music theory and love and appreciation of the artists you cover!! 😎 🎹 💚

I'm sorry but I just think you are wonderful. Keep doing these. Love it. From a songwriter's perspective I've always wondered why I bloody like this music so much and I kind of get it now. Thank you!

Airbag has slowly worked its way up the list of my favourite RH songs as long as I've been a fan, and honestly I think it's #1 now. Just perfect. And what a great analysis - I can play this on guitar but never noticed how clearly that intro switches between major and minor.

SO looking forward to the rest of your analysis of OK Computer! This album and The Downward Spiral are, and will always be, in my top 10. Your vids have given me so much insight as to why musically so many of my favorite songs are so great! Even though I have only an old punk rock bass player's knowledge of how music works. Thanks, ixi!

First time seeing this channel. Very enjoyable analysis, I like how it has a kind of innocence, awe and wonder to it. Riding the fine line between being accessible enough for novice listeners and interesting enough for more advanced listeners. I’ll stay for more.
