From Wikipedia:
"Jigsaw Falling into Place" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich. It was released as the lead single from Radiohead's seventh studio album, In Rainbows (2007), on 14 January 2008. The music video, directed by Garth Jennings and Adam Buxton, features Radiohead performing in their studio with cameras attached to bicycle helmets.”
Radiohead performed an early version of "Jigsaw Falling into Place" on their 2006 tour, with the working title "Open Pick".[1] Mike Diver of Drowned in Sound described it as a "bass-propelled pop-rock head-bobber".
The lyrics were inspired by the chaos witnessed by the singer, Thom Yorke, when he was out drinking in Oxford. He said: "The lyrics are quite caustic-the idea of 'before you're comatose' or whatever, drinking yourself into oblivion and getting fucked-up to forget ... [There] is partly this elation. But there's a much darker side." Adam Buxton, who co-directed the music video, said the song was about "being out on the town on a lairy Saturday night".”
Lyrics:
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favorite song
As your bad day disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you had too much
Come back in focus again
The walls are bending shape
They've got a Cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatose
Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
Words are blunt instruments
Words are sawed-off shotguns
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance
Jigsaw falling into place
So there is nothing to explain
You eye each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You've got a light, you can feel it on your back
A light, you can feel it on your back
Jigsaw falling into place

Hey everyone, thanks for all the love on this video! I learned it via WARRENMUSICs tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXPFp4WlarCnhK8si=qwn1uvkI0YmN8H1A I adapted it slightly but this is the best place to learn it.

[@OveRMinDTR]

I don't know how to play the guitar but I can appreciate how cleanly and precisely he plays the song. (I don't know if those are the correct terms musically but I imagine Radiohead themselves could not do an acoustic cover of the song better than this)

[@PaulMacD1978]

And then singing a mad tricky vocal on top at the same time 🔥🔥

[@alakirte]

It's not that hard. The vocals are at a steady tempo with the strumming pattern so it's not like he's having to do any polyrhythms in his head or any special counting to sing the vocal melodies or anything. The guitar part itself isn't too difficult either... Just cause it's hard for you as a beginner doesn't make it objectively hard. Yeah, this guy did a good job and props to him but what you're saying is just stupid.

These chords are freaking masterful. This cover made me see how crazy this song really is. As far as song progression goes, this is insanity.

[@EPMTUNES]

I agree. This is a deceptively simple song.

[@topherhenny5268]

Yeah it's all about the concept and how it relentlessly pounds the drony vocals only to break free and explode in the ending and going back into the initial chord progression which you are waiting the whole song to hear again

For a song that is so hard, this is actually unbelievable mate. One of the best covers I think I’ve ever seen, you’ve covered one of the greatest guitarists ever and one of the most impressive singers ever simultaneously. Unreal.

I know its a cliche thing to say but I'm very surprised this hasn't gotten more views and attention than it currently has because it defo deserves it. This is an absolutely sublime cover mate ❤ So sublime that its actually got me using the word sublime like its got any damn business in my usual vocabulary.

You’ll be pleased to know this was the top of my list today. So it’s clearly doing well. I play that , it’s pretty complex , amazing stuff this.

[@Morrison_Haze]

As soon as you started playing I thought "man, I should listen to this song again haven't heard it in a while", then as soon as you started singing I realized I didn't need to because your cover is that strong.

[@wntrsinhvn]

the vocal change followed by the guitar at 2:10 to the end of the song is arguably the most difficult to play and most beautiful. amazing cover one of my favs 😁

His version sounds more like "Jigsaw fallen into place." It's a polar opposite of Thom's signature chaotic and imperfect version, a clean, perfect cover. This is beautiful. Never stop doing this.

It's so incredibly beautiful from so many different aspects. To begin with, the simplicity. On you, on the environment, on the capturing. It's everything so humble, so honest, so real. We can feel it all beyond the notes. I'm a huge Radiohead fan and, when it comes to this particular song, I always prefer coming to yours. Simply because it's better. It's alive. It's pulsating.
