Thom Yorke - "Twist" (2012 Rag & Bone Version)

[@IphegeniaRose]

The brilliant thing about Thom Yorke's music is the 3rd time you listen to something that you didn't get the first time and you're like 'wait a minute... this is fking brilliant!' The world is a more bearable place knowing that someone like Thom Yorke exists. The man's a genius.

[@stevebob240]

The sample of the kids saying "Yeah!" sounds like the same one used in 15 step

[@dachis6818]

I think it is

[@RoosterFruit]

song is absolute fire on ANIMA

[@Guadeloop]

yes holy shit i'm so happy

[@tallgeese1]

Indeed!

[@duquesnejake]

Wait what. This song has been out in this amazing format since 2012??? Holy shit. It reminds me of the 'Kid A' C-sides. Super raw and exciting. And I love the 'Anima' version!

[@pimposki6232]

yeah, kind of like fast track as well, from the kid a/amnesiac sessions

[@dMoniker]

The important thing about this absolute chooon is to have patience, cause when that ambience section kicks in it makes any sense of monotony just fade away in a warm embrace....excellent stuff altogether

[@cristhianserna]

Tres tristes tigres, tres tristes tigres, tres tristes tigres...

[@FluffheadsArmy]

cristhian serna pretty sure that Twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist (given song title it would make sense) uless your just trolling then.. well..then.. Laugh inside myself

[@jibbyfoob]

7 years later and it’s on the new album. Very nice

[@olleigbg]

The last 3 minutes are amazing..

[@vincevirtua]

Some of the best lyrics Thom ever wrote right there on that song. Que que que que. Que? Twwiiss twiiss twist twist. Euuhhu aaaahhuhhh. Euuuhhrr. Poetic and satisfying.

[@Tuxiloo]

…scanning the song every 30 seconds to see if it changes over time… YES IT DOES ! it only gets better, really a grower.

[@DanMice1]

Thom Yorke, president of the world !!

[@angeloamitrano2137]

Sure! ;)

[@ramyaccad263]

+DanMice1 YES!

[@DanMice1]

is the best band , after Nirvana x_x

[@DanMice1]

Radiohead...

[@Armistice0]

Whatever it is that happens to this track after around the 4:30 mark completely puts me to peace.

[@evanritter31211]

I've jamming this nonstop for over an hour. On an related note, I'm craving toast.

[@Halcyon91]

This blows my mind!!!

[@nellygonzalez5187]

Son maravillosos los sonidos que se convierten en música. Nuestros lenguajes son música. Felicitaciones Thom. Abrazo

[@pyrojeff5360]

Starts off with pieces scattered all over the place... pieces start to connect... then it all flows and the pieces fit sending you into a trance. Yorke at its finest if you ask me. I can here the aphex twin influence in this one

[@MforMovesets]

Was so awesome live.

[@thomyorke2539]

I can't believe I never liked this song until now! I never gave it a fair chance. After seeing the live version though, this has become one of my favorites from Thom Yorke

[@DigitalBach]

best song of the year.

[@YorkeTchock]

I aaaalways said there'd be more to it than that little snippet that was posted on here a while ago, but no-one listened. I like it!

[@ripper2045]

Wow, the rag and bone version had some really interesting lyrics

[@rohme]

wow how it all turns around in the latter parts...that was fantastic

[@ThePhodut]

This is what it sounds like when I'm riding on my lawnmower with headphones on, lol.

[@csmsmith1]

Wait a minute... this song is growing in me! It's actually pretty damn good.

[@Di-Immortal_V4]

Imagine the 10/10 bass rythem in the second half of this song in between the first and last part of the Anima version

[@MrBildung1]

... last minutes are so sweet

[@PUMKINMANforever]

I feel ashamed. When we first heard the preview of this song, I really didn't like it because it just felt lazy and boring to me, but now that we have the full version I see that it all comes together and makes perfect sense by the end, sort of like how by the end of cymbal rush all those seemingly random beeps fit together to form a beautiful symphony. Even by Thom's standard I'm impressed.

[@brunobelloso4708]

Spanish speakers be listening to ESTO ESTO ESTO QUE QUE QUE

[@bluelips501]

😂😂😂lmao I can’t stop laughing

[@feverray8307]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@andyozar6089]

Es cierto xD

[@soundstation8343]

Parece si hablara el Chavo del 8 xD E s o E s o Q u e Q u e

[@Sternertime]

Highly motivating song for me. unsure why. twist into new territories perhaps, disregard order. follow spirit through dark spaces towards goal. greater good, order in chaos. Ive never tried drugs in case anybody was wondering

[@abrand617]

if thom wasn't my man-idol i would never listen to this. but since he is... repeat repeat repeat!

[@netdoom]

I think all of you need to understand context for this music being made. This was used for a fashion show.

[@Di-Immortal_V4]

Sorry but I love this version way more than ANIMA version. Have the loves the bass rythem at the end of this for 7 years

[@RetrogradeBeats]

Inspiration

[@imranomarr]

OMG play twist and stuck together at the same time. sounds awesome hahaha

[@mtchll_chndlr]

the song gets so awesome at three mins

[@oc_george]

this sounds so goood

[@giordanodeiana4242]

He could just say "Twist". I'd love him anyway

[@azertybob75]

this track has something of boards of canada...

[@shipwrecckk]

@sashaisacoustic there was a radio rip a few months back, but it wasn't the full thing

[@juliananicole1880]

I love thom Yorke and I love rag & bone! Perfection 🥰

[@hoodwinkhiphop]

class, as usual.

[@ancemeister]

I think yes

[@rubenalvarez734]

Does anyone have the lyrics of this song?

[@btul2569]

dis dis dis ka ka ka ka ka ka dis dis dis dis dis ka ka ka ka ka ka dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis ka ka ka ka ka ka dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis ka ka ka ka ka ka dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis ka ka ka ka ka ka dis dis dis dis dis you're welcome

[@danielmcmahan4393]

This place smells of piss cat get out

[@HungryTacoBoy]

Since it's now a track on Thom Yorke's album Anima, there are actually lyrics now. Haha.

[@darkerpoet]

When the drop comes at 4:23-4:24, you become twisted by the genius that is Thom Yorke

[@HungryTacoBoy]

I'm saddened the progression that begins at 2:40 and culminates into the warmth that starts at 4:23 is missing from the Anima version. That said, I'm sure it'll grow on me the same way the album version of Ful Stop grew on me after falling in love with the live version.

[@ddha0000]

na man, im in love with the new version, the last half is just epic.

[@18MyMind]

Hello I am one of the kids screaming yeah, cause yah know, its so good.

[@LoicZev]

I never understand what people expect out of Yorke or any Radiohead related material. It's well known they like to constantly evolve and piss people off by doing so. It's fantastic that a band can continue impressing people and dividing fans after 20 years.

[@xhinoteque]

The kids sounds are like the ones on 15 steps

[@jonathangadzini1435]

CÆsar this whole the cake off the end of a hail to the thief outro from the gloaming or myxomatosis

[@Wook14]

@DRod15F There were some Eraser bits as well I noticed...

[@bbsuyash]

Wook14 like?

[@thetoy3]

Cheers.

[@Lord_Sneetus]

@PUMKINMANforever you're completely right. All it takes is a full listen and then the song finally makes sense

[@DRod15F]

@Caesarslegion1 yup. it's all over the place. but might be easiest to hear at 2:38 in 15 step. check it out. i'd post a link but im not able to post links by the person who uploaded this video

[@Winebikesandaxes]

Why is this song called "twist" ???

[@drgus8042]

HMM...

[@JV-cz6fz]

5 years later still dont know why

[@weebovv3176]

@@JV-cz6fz We'll never know, it'll forever elude us.

[@soundstation8343]

6 years later still don't know why

[@Winebikesandaxes]

This question has been haunting my sleep for 7 years now...

[@Alex_Mac_]

Listening to this song feels like being part of some Mayan ritual sacrificing ceremony, yet being totally chill and okay with it

[@Insidia85]

I think I prefer this version much more than anima version. I m in love with the bass line in the second part of the song

[@lifemusic1980]

i did the same when i heard the first couple of songs on "king of limbs". then, all of the sudden i understood and it was like a beautiful mind fuck. thom knows what he is doing. :)

[@bsaides]

Increible¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@ThomComputer]

@dangerousjord some eraser samples there. awesome!

[@neopandorex2]

this is just VERY uk.

[@stevebob240]

What a twist!

[@jamespoole183]

your thinking of the Modeselektor Art & Cash Phon.o Remix mashup. There is no drop here.

[@niaaavatar]

gracias! TWIST...TWIST...TWIST...

[@mtchll_chndlr]

reminds me so much of Fast Track from the Amnesiac B-sides

[@Even457]

it's okay Thom, i'll twist the cake :3

[@Olhado256]

Works great as background music for internet browsing.

[@angelitoduarte3818]

Beer beer beer beer!

[@pablobakan11]

does anobody know any other bands that play this kind of electronic/ambient music?

[@FluffheadsArmy]

If anyone know.. What album is this from?

[@juliananicole1880]

If you don’t know by now, it’s on the newest thom album “anima”

[@Catharsis_333]

Keeping it more obscure than ever. I kinda like it though.

[@finias246]

Nice; now I want to model to this song.

[@HQBacon]

Thom improved it massively on ANIMA

[@borismurillo2834]

Respectfully have to disagree there, although repetitive, the last 3 minutes of this song is gold. The buildup that starts from 2:45 is beautiful imo.

[@shimblypibbins]

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

[@lucymaycroft5686]

couscous

[@aa-rz1kh]

good

[@juanfraandrade8020]

Minute 3:00 an beyond seems to be The Eraser harmony

[@IBHID]

Here nine years later to say the same - everyone's asking why it wasn't on the album, but I'm pretty sure it is just The Eraser remixed.

[@rodeomonkey84]

everybody's doin The Twist!

[@dangerousjord]

After 2:45 this gets really awesome!

[@psychospast3501]

any chance this gets available to purchase, whatsoever format? or did this happen somewhere already and i simply cannot find it? i actually favor this version above the anima version.

[@moodysamba]

like it

[@Eihabss]

I dont think those models are gonna walk the ramp on this music, they shall club to death with it :D

[@kelixe7162]

the part at 2:40 sounds like The Eraser washed down with a lot of reverb

[@antdujar]

twist and stuck together are the best tracks of this ensemble. free is eh. not the best, but stuck together and twist are on point and it the right spot.

[@k-leb4671]

Dang, the download doesn't work anymore.

[@ImpossibleKnots]

What version is this???? And what is it from?

[@ThePortableSix]

Well stop liking it, god damn it.

[@DavidJF123]

It's weird that this song has a load of likes and positive comments. It's almost as if people have different tastes in music...

[@craigrigby5573]

Been trying to find the lyrics to this song for ages :/ can anyone help??

[@Alex_Mac_]

@BigKahunaShake Lol, Caribou shout out!

[@peasjay1952]

I liked the part when he said twist

[@BigKahunaShake]

for some reason i feel like this would make a dope beat for DOOM to freestyle over.

[@overseer_grimal]

After this song i became twisted

[@StaggaLags]

Progressive avant twistfunk.

[@talkinboutthebigtime]

ket ket ket ket ket ket ket

[@catsick94]

@ItsWhatever24 Don't replay, It'll drive you mad

[@SuperiFox]

@musterdsandwich Yeah, i see that.

[@tombaye]

any chance there will be a re-up of these 2012 versions?

[@SuperOrangebird]

Is the song about Twist?

[@DRod15F]

thumbs up if you recognize the kids scream "yea!" from 15 step @1:48

[@huliheaden]

I actually liked the parts without 'twist' the most.

[@schellenberg1]

This is better than Paranoid Android.
