Negative Harmony Cover - No Surprises

[@lisa_in_space]

I love how Radiohead songs in negative harmony sound like a secret unreleased B-side deep in the archives

[@TheNightclaw]

Having heard many of such songs, I must agree. Have you ever heard the soundcheck version of No Surprises? It hits hard. I find myself singing it every now and then. Here's a link, if you don't feel like searching for it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6nCd4ZtYtWNg6ssi=CE1JV96213HgJP9L

[@lisa_in_space]

@@TheNightclaw woah I actually love that!

[@TheNightclaw]

@@lisa_in_space I really love the lyrics of these early versions. Here's another from 1995. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epamgaOtn8edgrMsi=r5EVSia7_hNUdQMs

[@mildredfaye7]

​​​@@TheNightclaw hearing that made me want to listen to songs with the old quality. is there any way for me to edit songs to sounds like that :)

[@TheNightclaw]

@@mildredfaye7 There's bound to be, surely. Though, I'm not very privy to such things, I'm afraid. Perhaps some sort of audio filter, if that's a thing? If nothing else works, you could simply compress and decompress the song until it sounds like sandpaper on a cheese grater. Though, I doubt that would be enjoyable... If you could find a track of just the vocals of the song you're looking for, you could try to combine it with an acoustic instrumental, perhaps. Maybe add a subtle echoey tunnel effect, to give it a haunting feel, as well. That could sound cool.

No Surprises if it was made by Radiohead

brutal but true.

or elliott smith

I see what you did there

[@purrrrrrrple]

I cant believe the original was the happy one

[@nathanellev3112]

I actually find it a lot more happy and warm compared to the original

[@Max1715]

How the hell is this the popular opinion, the chorus is ten times happier

[@magicmulder]

@@Max1715 Indeed. The original always hits me right in the feels, this one is actually listenable without getting said.

[@ros3m4ries]

Oh great as if the original wasnt depressing enough

[@garamtf2]

Was it tho?

[@charlottemazet]

Ahhahahaahahah yeah but we like depressing songs

[@movcn2]

this song should be called surprises.

[@Maxitosonic]

Or "Another Surprise"

[@PthariensFlame]

@@MaxitosonicA Last one, even?

[@Maxitosonic]

@@PthariensFlame I think this songs could work like the protagonist is tired of surprises, when the life gets tough, he tries to get a break, he no longer wants more surprises like "No Surprises", tired and depressed, but those continue, the work gets hard, the life gets hard and all gets blurry, so when this hard things happen again, he's no longer surprised, since it's "Another Surprise"

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

[@captainflappyarms8277]

Since it is even more sad than the og it should be titled nothing

[@GurterTheGortal]

No Surprises - Amnesiac

Amnesiac would be a sick ass name

[@casey_kitt]

@@doomile6903it’s the name of a radiohead album.

[@GurterTheGortal]

@@casey_kitt yeah I’m trying to say it sounds like no surprises if it was off amnesiac

[@niamhoconnor8986]

Amazing comment

[@soupeausucre]

Original or negative harmony, Radiohead's songs never misses to make you sad

[@ryanlockhart9102]

They always make me feel happy. I don't know why, but I can only listen to happy music when I'm already happy, and if I'm not then only sad or loud music is listenable, as the happy songs just make me more sad, while the intense stuff makes me feel better.

[@SlimeyBaron]

aside from Lift. Lift always makes me feel better after disassociating to How To Disappear Completely

[@madiserket2]

it's like if elliot smith made no surprises

[@martinsmartini44]

Oh god my two favourite artists

[@MrBigFart]

its like radiohead made it

[@aliceplays5092]

I think his voice helps give off that vibe too

[@hoshimokurai]

yea

[@elliemercury1400]

absolutely. now i can’t unhear it

[@ChrisGarmon]

I love the production style on your actual covers. The edited original recordings are certainly interesting, but this one, just like your Sound of Silence cover, has a special kind of warmth to it.

[@deseesed]

Totally agreed!

[@bencressman6110]

Same with ‘all by myself’. He just has a lovely style and voice ❤

[@rome8180]

Yeah, I would much rather hear Steve's actual singing than a heavily tuned vocal. There's only so much pitch correction you can do to a vocal before it starts to sound really off-putting.

[@puercoespineta]

Really great song from the Not OK typewriter album by TV Feet.

[@norai.5826]

"Yes expectation" from 'KO Typewriter' by TvTail ...or TvToes? You tell me.

[@aliceplays5092]

I love this lmfao

[@LIBERTYCORP.]

gotta love the song "Panic" from the album "Hardware Blues" by "TypewriterTorso"

[@NarrowShouldersOpenMind]

Good one, dad.

[@WrongIdeasChannel]

Radiohead mostly use Major chords despite having a reputation for being a 'sad' band, which is why negative harmony covers are even sadder

[@t28nk-182]

me before listening to this: This is going to be so funny… me listening to it: **crying in the corner**

[@ghostrhythm]

Now it feels like a promise made by the protagonist before the final act

[@georgeharrison5753]

Man, I love it when you sing them yourself. I get that some are really hard, but you have such a soothing voice.

[@johnPmusic69]

nope

[@zeroDFound]

Feels like the ending song of a movie, no surprises exit music edition

[@johnPmusic69]

nope

[@goosemchonk]

No Surprises (For a Film)

[@TheTbanks024]

This sounds like a Simon and Garfunkel cover. Actually really great, IMO. Great work!

[@WorriedClocks]

EXACTLY I WAS THINKING SOUND OF SILENCE TYPE THING

[@danielwilkins7509]

Bery Simon, and Garfunkel🙂.

[@johnPmusic69]

no

[@Tulip_bip]

i like how the original song had the vocals sound sad and the background instruments sound hopeful, and then this version has less sad sounding vocals and a much sadder background track

[@johnPmusic69]

nope

[@SebastianSubHernandez]

He finally did it. The long-awaited cover of more OK Computer. I wonder what other Radiohead songs you would be interested in harmony negating. lol

[@wikgdklw]

It's like listening to "something In the way" and "exit music " at the same time. Or at least I believe that :p

[@johnPmusic69]

nope not at all lol

[@fabioguggeri325]

Me before listening: hmm, negative harmony covers always convey kind of the opposite feeling than the original song, I wonder how happy this one will sound like Me after listening: man, why is this song depressing no matter how you play it? Great job!

[@paninoferretti]

That's because in reality No Surprises chord progression is ""happy"" while it's the lyrics and arrangements that make it sound sad

[@kezten538]

wow, that s actually beautiful. It sounds like the song that plays over the credits at the end of a movie. really bittersweet. Great cover.

[@JackFou]

Man, the production has really improved over time. It sounds so much better with recorded vocals rather than processing the original vocals :) I'm absolutely loving it, keep it up dude!

[@cowosmec]

id kill for instrumentals of your covers theyre so nice

[@doishid]

God I love it when you cover a song with your voice. The effort is appreciated!

[@loshermetos]

Amazing how most of this negative harmony songs always sound like Elliott Smith...

[@idlerwheel]

Honestly, I thought it was the timbre of your voice but it's the harmony in concert. Together it gives XO vibes.

[@otgv]

It's the singers tone and way of singing, bet he is a big big fan of Smith

[@Spoocecow]

Someday we're going to discover that negative harmony Elliott Smith results in immaculate power pop

[@goldenstarmusic1689]

I didn't expect this to sound so close to the original but so unique at the same time. Best negative harmony cover I've heard yet.

[@captainflappyarms8277]

How is it even sadder and also that guitar riff on this is just perfection i need to know how to play negative harmonh no surprises

[@ttturtle1863]

Main riff: Cm / EbM7 / Bb6 / Fm / Cm. Enjoy!

[@therealandrew185]

Somehow still sounds like it could be on OK Computer

[@captainflappyarms8277]

The guitar is the best thing I have ever heard ngl

[@captainflappyarms8277]

Me personally I think it's more the bends vibes

[@m308]

it kinda reminds me of exit music

[@marianodn]

I really love this Elliot Smith song

[@physicalattractionpodcast7479]

It's giving Beach Boys on downers

[@bonecanoe86]

I can just imagine a sad, strung out Brian Wilson sitting there in his bathrobe writing this.

[@wahyusapsaputra77]

No surprises - Muse. This actually would be suitable in the album showbiz

[@Varjotarha]

Exactly what I felt first time hearing this

[@ProgrammerInProgress]

This does sound a bit like how muse would write this, but if radiohead still performed it

[@a1danf3rgy]

Dude i hope you make your own music. Your voice is great

[@paulkofc]

This was beautifully done

[@arcragerdbd3220]

I've never heard the original, and I don't think I'll need to either cause this is so good. I love it when he sings the Negative Harmonies over the AI voices. It sounds so frickin good

[@acceptedchange1146]

I am so in love with this. Can’t stop playing that on repeat, it would have been my top 1 song on Spotify at the end of the year if it was there. Sounds amazing!

I love these negative harmony songs and was wondering which song you'd do next. Love the song choice! Keep going!

[@MarcoBallesi]

This and Creep are absolute madness. I've been sharing this to everyone I know. Great job dude!!! I wish you could make some Muse or even The Weeknd (his old songs are very harmonic). Cheers

[@MarcoBallesi]

Maybe Muse's Eternally Missed or Falling Down :O

[@frmindchaser8600]

awesome!!!! sounds like elliot smith, and some of the melodies were beautiful, loved it

[@gassug2]

i've always wanted you to make this, i've reharmonized this song with negative harmony a few times before to get a rough idea of what it would sound like. obviously didn't have the same polish as this does.

[@starchaser777]

this one's way more bittersweet

[@makeperceive]
