RADIOHEAD Exit Music (For A Film) REACTION! - Jersh Reacts

[@themadcow71]

Keep reacting to Radiohead. They have so many classic songs that will stir your soul.

[@CitroChannel]

This. Radiohead is one of the best alt rock bands of all time, to be honest.

Can you advice me some great songs please

Side note: I guarantee the more you listen to Radiohead, the more you will find yourself saying, "What is that noise?" (in the best possible way).

[@butomakansabun]

It's Ed, always Ed

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

@@vxorg8702 This song: it's definitely Jonny. Other songs (that "is that keys?" moment from his review of 15 Step), it's often Ed.

[@_bats_]

"There's such a chill, such a chill...." "And now, we are one, in everlasting peace..." Romeo and Juliet killed themselves to be together. They could have run away, but their end was so much more tragic.

[@amigui_]

Exit Music was written for the final credits of Romeo + Juliet. Although it was not included in the soundtrack at the request of Thom Yorke, the song appears on OK Computer. Radiohead is such a special band, their first albums are based on garage and grunge music with a really angsty vibe, Creep came out from Pablo Honey their first album. Then they start playing with electronics and synths, and their current music is a lot more experimental and almost ambient at some points. Tho in most of their albums the themes are kind of similar: melancholy, disappointment, existentialism, critiques to capitalism.

[@InvalidUser_]

The song is on alot of film's and series the most recent one being the umbrella academy

[@thomyorke7786]

Amazing band. Radiohead songs you could react to: Paranoid Android, Fake Plastic Trees, Nude, Reckoner, Jigsaw falling into place, Daydreaming, Street spirit, No surprises.

[@mkswk09]

Cool. Now we all know Thom Yorke’s favorite songs. Beautiful vocal melody on Reckoner by the way.

[@silentnoiz]

And talk show host peepoPog

[@syjutaj]

Weird fishes and how t o disappear completely also

[@darr915]

you forgot sail to the moon

[@zhourenou7860]

Fitter happier

[@charlesshows3469]

Radiohead is amazing bro. A whole atmosphere.

[@71GDub]

"Now we are one in everlasting peace" refers to Romeo and Juliet's suicide pact. Thom himself stated that he couldn't understand why they didn't just run away together, but that's not what happened in the story.

[@uBoBaMnupa]

Radiohead - Street Spirit

[@SOMA-no2gq]

The music video is amazing. One of my favs.

[@Damiana_Dimock]

Song was originally written for the Baz Luhrmann adaptation of Romeo + Juliet, the other song they have on the soundtrack is titled “Talk Show Host.” The film was released in ‘96, the year after Radiohead’s sophomore release “The Bends” and the year before their critically acclaimed “Ok Computer,” (also my favorite Radiohead album, checkout “Electioneering,” “The Tourist,” & “Climbing Up Walls”.) “Exit Music” is also one of a handful of songs I was getting pretty good at just before my acoustic guitar was stolen. 1997 was a huge year for music.

[@SOMA-no2gq]

@SuperJersh Your Forrest Gump thumbnail in the bus reminded me of an episode of an Irish Sitcom called Father Ted about a bunch of priests living together. Anyways on one episode a priest visits because he's depressed, inconsolable and suicidal and they go to great lengths to cheer him up before he finally comes around. At the end of the episode he leaves on a bus. The driver turns the radio on and this song comes up. His mood quickly plummets and he returns to his previous suicidal state. The fact you said the song is soul crushing just brought this back into my memory and it's a hilarious coincidence.

[@Lady-Lilith]

The noise always sounded like the sound of seagulls to me, so I always pictured a young couple walking near water with seagulls nearby. And I totally interpreted the song a similar way; someone rescuing someone else from an abusive father.

[@voidwraithprime8521]

Hmmm...hard to pick my favorite song from this great, great album, but "Let Down" has stood the test of time for me. Sure, "Paranoid Android" and "Karma Police" are great, but "Let Down" just has the best crescendo. Regardless, Radiohead, as a band, have progressed their music in all kinds of interesting directions, but you should definitely check more of it out. They're great.

[@maxgrass8134]

I agree. Let down is amazing

[@LuckykidA]

Most will likely say something similar, but this was actually the "exit music" for the film Romeo and Juliette with LEO. In that regard, it is probably one of the MOST straight forward songs Radiohead has ever done (not as ambiguous). Glad you liked it Jersh. Thanks. Absolutely one of my favorites.

[@Eevcee]

There There and Paranoid Android are two of my top favorite Radiohead songs. Would love to see your take on them.

[@philwhite3912]

More Radiohead please!

[@naylasierra5765]

I was wondering when you were gonna react to more radiohead and this song is soo good lol

[@jameshannagan7830]

There's no one like Radiohead except the Beatles their constant changing of their style and sound makes for a great musical journey.

[@adrianfoote8281]

You should definitely do more Radiohead, they have some amazing chord progressions

[@666DemonCleaner]

This song always just makes me feel. One of the best emotional climbs and resolutions.

[@katiemayo1518]

Radiohead was one of my favorite groups in high school. Pablo Honey and Ok Computer were some of the first albums I ever owned.

[@ThelemicMagick]

Thom Yorke's fragile singing, the desolate, subtle, acoustic guitar and let's not forget the Mellotron make this a very intense and haunting song that catches Romeo & Juliets core so well. Since I see a lot of great but mostly obvious suggestions in the comment section, I'll put down a few tracks I consider quintessential Radiohead; one per album: Blow Out, Bulletproof (I Wish I Was), Climbing Up The Walls, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Life In A Glass House, A Wolf At The Door, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Give Up The Ghost and Present Tense.

[@thedrhannah]

Every Radiohead song is so different from the next. One of my favorites is 15 steps

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

Radiohead yessssssssssssssssss, This album is always on my playlists. It’s absolutely one of the best albums ever. I love how his voice stretches out over the music and builds without being flashy. Just beautiful.

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

And the Romeo and Juliet sound track is all together melancholy. It introduced a few artists to me growing up. Garbage being one of them.

[@SOMA-no2gq]

I love that soundtrack. I think it was the first soundtrack I actually bought and its because I loved the movie so much and the music used in it.

[@international.pineapple6286]

The use of this in black mirror gave me so many chills

[@BT405]

I believe that sound in the song was in fact a recording of people at a park. I don't know where I heard it but I remember something about one of the members Jonny Greenwood taking the recording while staying at a hotel somewhere.

[@maengun2091]

Jersh you really can't go wrong with that album. Karma Police, Let Down, paranoid android, climbing up the walls etc ....

[@Stevieweevietv]

OK Computer was one of my favourite albums of the 90s together with The Bends. Both so beautiful in their own way. OK Computer was an epic intense journey like nothing I'd listened to before. Climbing Up The Walls is another highlight for me.

[@derrekjones2128]

The full spectrum of Radiohead is deep and wide. Enjoy the ride. Always an interesting sonic palette.

[@kentuckyfriedgoth]

More Radiohead! Climbing Up the Walls, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Idioteque... you could make this a whole rabbit hole series and I'd watch every one of them.

[@sullenca]

one of my favorite Radiohead songs

[@ponidecthulhu]

You should react to the In Rainbows album. Such a masterpiece.

[@SOMA-no2gq]

I wish they would of used this not only in the credits for Romeo + Juliet but in the soundtrack as well because it's one of my favorite movies and soundtracks.. but Talk Show Host is amazing in its own right and when it shows up in the film its perfect. Anyways the world is in chaos, everyone just needs to chill out and listen to Radiohead, it will soon be over.

[@Fuchsstern]

Okay - recommendation: "2+2=5" by Radiohead. I'll be watchin'!

[@bazil2004]

Yesss!!

[@udk-tutorialsbyluke8434]

Best reaction ive ever seen to a song!

[@DocRobert]

Not trying to challenge your interpretation, I think it’s valid. But... I mean... it’s Romeo and Juliet. Um... they don’t get away. Or they do, but... yeah. I think the nature of their “escape” is why the song is built to be so haunting. Also, get the pun in the title... “Exit Music.” Like... a love song to die by. :)

[@lezlyeperez5281]

Not sure if anyone else confirmed the noises you heard but it actually is recorded voices in the streets of a place somewhere in Europe, can’t remember where from. They were touring and someone had the idea of using the audio for a song.

[@matthewmcglynn4650]

Love me some radiohead

[@SOMA-no2gq]

To simplify: Rock/ish: Just Bodysnatchers 2+2=5 Airbag Blowout Jigsaw falling into place Sad: Street Spirit All I Need Videotape Bulletproof..I wish I was Beautiful Piano: Daydreaming Pyramid Song Everything in its right place Sail to the moon True Love Waits Out there: Idiotique In Limbo Life in a glasshouse Optimistic Talk Show Host Beautiful: Weird Fishes (Arpeggi) Nude Bloom (live from electic Lady studios) There's obviously some overlap and this is only a small sample of the vast catalog of great music, but I hope this might help if you or anyone chooses to listen to more.

[@Rukner]

You should definately do more Radiohead, great band! A song from another band with lots of feeling and an air of depression is Round Here from Counting Crows.

[@Matt2010]

It's been my experience to with regards to this band like with people that say love hip hop/rap music especially back in the 90s, that those hated this band at least at first, then we go apart but a few I've seen later in the years, and comment to me that say, "I'm sorry about what I said about what I know is your fav band, and admit that it had grown on them and that they liked them now." Considering how versatile they are and still around. Guess that's what made them respect them more. I personally knew they would last and grow from their original stuff in the beginning.

[@charlosr2]

This song is used often in tv series and movies, perfect song for that

[@atrain9814]

Yep, I remember it from Black Mirror and Westworld

[@1966wilky]

Love your interpretation of the lyrics! Before I knew it was the music to the end of Romeo and Juliet this is exactly how I felt about it and I’m a huge fan. I imagined it was about a family escaping the abuse of their father and have a very hard time listening to this because it reminds me of a time when as a kid I had to “pack and get dressed” before my step father heard us. He was a diagnosed sociopath and he was very abusive. We got away but he found us and tried to choke and drown me and spent time in jail for my attempted murder. This is the only Radiohead song I have to do skip on the album and avoid listening to because, although I think it’s brilliant, it takes me right back to when I was 13 year old teenage girl with his hands around my neck. I’m 56 now but I guess the scars from abuse stick with you and I just wanted to listen to a few reactions to it, to see if anyone had the same reaction as myself.

[@mattbaggette9963]

Other Radiohead songs you should react to: Stop whispering Thinking about you High and dry Fake plastic trees (Nice dream ) Just Karma police No surprises Everything in its right place How to disappear completely Pyramid song True love waits ( the live version off of I might be wrong ) Videotape

[@melissaheneghan5939]

Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke used in The Twilight Movie, amazing & the base is phenomenal!

[@denninidar0048]

my fav track from Radiohead of all time..

[@memetherapy]

Radiohead demands the full album experience.

[@Bunke09]

You need to react to The short film/music video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson featuring Thom's solo music. The film is called Anima and is on Netflix.

[@colossalberger]

I’m reading all the comments and had no idea that this was writing purposely for Romeo and Juliet. I interpreted that it was a mother telling her kids to pack while their father is asleep. As far as that loop it would be their memories playing over and over on that chilly night asking mother to sing to them to sooth them.

[@sheltonjames3173]

This is an amazing song! Radiohead has an incredible catalogue of beautiful and interesting music as they have many different sounds. Any song from the album's Ok Computer, Amnesiac, In Rainbows, or Hail To The Thief would be great listening if not very familiar with their music.

[@paulschirf9259]

I cannot wait till you get to the lyrics for Fake Plastic Trees.

[@nataliam9764]

This is literally about the Romeo and Juliette story. It was part of the soundtrack for the movie.

[@yannhollister9091]

My favorite band

[@teddymax_]

Let Down is must listen song. It cames next after this in the album

[@thedrhannah]

Would definitely enjoy more Radiohead reactions. Also, I would suggest the band Muse - could start with the song madness

[@karlboson4803]

Hyper Music !

[@elainecannon24]

While each Radiohead song from the OK computer album stands alone listening to the album is an entirely different and worthwhile experience. Its frequently on top or at least top 5 albums of all time here in the UK. I remember listening to it in the late 90s and it just encapsulated that feeling it we hurtling towards something far too fast and having no control. That something being the millennium, the lightening pace of modern life, computers and technology developing faster and faster with no study or scrutiny on possible long term consequences. It was eerily accurate capturing that. It would be interesting to know how you feel about it as a whole album being of the generation that hasn't ever known a world without that technology at your finger tips.

[@quianuribs6538]

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands of all time!!!

[@leecaine6700]

Shivers. Every time.

[@stinkfist92]

Radiohead - A Jigsaw Falling Into Place

[@bigchiefbc]

Love the shit out of this song. However, if you want to hear haunting, you need to hear "Climbing Up the Walls" off of the OK Computer album. That is the creepiest, most haunting song I've ever heard. It's fucking terrifying how claustrophobic it sounds.

[@locustkllr]

it's a deep pool those Radiohead boys, be careful there Jersh.

[@lewislabuff8862]

Just wait until this guy finds out the entire album is a story about the nightmare future.

[@Endigo_Vandane]

When you talked about a light hearted romantic lovesong made by Radiohead, my thoughts went to Shiny Happy People by R.E.M. So now I'm trying to imagine what a Shiny Happy People type song by Radiohead would sound like.

[@adrianfoote8281]

I love the dirty bass tone on this track, nice choice. I'd love to see you react to the official video for Kaitangata by Alien Weaponry.

[@cakeunicornpirateman]

PLEASEEEE react to more Radiohead.

[@angelluna9599]

I can give some Radiohead suggestions and they have videos: Pyramid Song, Street Spirit, Nude, Daydreaming, No Surprises.

[@SOMA-no2gq]

Fantastic choices

[@pinkbeatle2012]

"Kenny you've been looking at kids"

[@elrumi6341]

Nice reaction. Btw, I like your background, did you make it yourself?

[@omer3188]

Now i want you to react to bjork’s discography especially vespertine

[@SOMA-no2gq]

Ahh I slept late and find youve returned to one of my fav bands. This song is a very sad one from OK computer and probably the saddest from that album. There are no really happy songs.. its either completely out there, soul crushing, or hauntingly beautiful with few exceptions. If I could give a 1000 views to convince you to take the dive I would.. They go in so many different directions its hard to point you in the direction that will appeal to you. I can give you a few highlights because the ones you've hit are probably not the best starting point. Street Spirit (music video) Just (music video) Talk Show Host Pyramid Song Sail to the moon Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (From the Basement live) All I Need Daydreaming

[@marcotewlow8533]

Sonically it’s depressing, but lyrically, I feel it’s one of the most hopeful songs in their discography. It’s one of their only songs that ends with victory for the narrator.

[@cherrypitcyanide]

i would suggest 2+2=5, lotus flower and myxomatosis.

[@mkswk09]

I’m not sure if you watch Black Mirror but you should. It’s phenomenal and is an anthology so every episode has a different storyline. This song was used perfectly in the last few minutes of the episode “Shut up and dance”. Definitely check out the show. It’s wild!

[@themadcow71]

Radiohead - Reckoner would be a good next song.

[@corky8490]

If you ever hear this song in a movie or TV show you know some bad s**t is going down.

[@melissaheneghan5939]

Radiohead had lots of criticism & were labelled by many as writing depressing or suicidal music but it’s simply deep & genius!

[@Vivian-bk4nd]

Check out 'Everything in it's right place' or 'Nice Dream'

[@seangriffin8514]

I think it's two children with the same father. He says before your father wakes up because the narrator can no longer call this person his father. Either that or I had a bad childhood lol

[@philwhite3912]

Radiohead like spinning plates from amnesiac.

[@connorsmith377]

Hey! I know you’ve already heard “Rooster” by Alice In Chains, but for someone who loves movies so much, if you haven’t seen the music video for that song, you ABSOLUTELY have check it out, picture something along the lines of “Platoon” or “Apocalypse Now”

[@charlottec.7881]

Man of war, daydreaming, pyramid song, knives out, paranoid android

[@tithannisk7470]

My favorite song from OK Computer, an album full of great songs !

[@Brainles5]

More Radiohead! You should check out Pyramid Song!

[@niangermirabal]

More radiohead 👍🏽

[@timaustin2000]

Fella,.... It's a song about Suicide. Specifically Romeo and Juliet's suicide.

[@radiohead91]

more radiohead

[@stormywaters1565]

Hail to the Thief/The Bends are their best albums imo. Fake Plastic Trees and 2 + 2 = 5 are my favorites. Also the mention of Romeo & Juliet reminded me of a song by The Butthole Surfers called Whatever; highly reccomend.

[@audreyayers6534]

will def stay for some radiohead (but I’d truly love for you to react to the new album by The 1975)

[@o_o414]

Radiohead - Street Spirit has got to be reacted to

[@JoseRodriguez-iu2rg]

Welcome to another rabbit hole brotha, just like tool , this song was played at the end of Romeo and Juliet movie with Leo , I'll send you $50 right now to keep going down this rabbit hole please

[@SuperJersh]

Lmao well it doesn’t cost that much to support me and make requests on Patreon so check that out then! 😂😂

[@danielsonsilveira]

React to more Radiohead songs. A few suggestions: Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Reckoner, Nude, Daydreaming and everything in its right place.

[@chrono050]

Gotta do The Reckoner by Radiohead .. whole In Rainbows album is great..

[@Darth69906]

This was written especially for the movie

[@hollowcore2]

I think that you need to read 'Romeo and Juliet' by William Shakespeare and then you might understand the lyrics to this song.

[@GergLounge]

The strange sound you heard is made by a man who played guitar in a typically unrecognizable way, even after all this time. But I also envisioned it as you did, with my head against the plexiglass divider on the TTC as a teenager.

[@nickagarrie]

Revisit at 40 years old.

[@drummer4916]

Reckoner or Fake Plastic Trees!

[@NxDoyle]

For the most part, this song's a straight-down-the-line Romeo & Juliet interpretation. But it also plays with the idea that Romeo and Juliet didn't have to die. They could have just run away. R&J is a frustrating play. Romeo's a fickle idiot, Juliet is a mini-diva and Friar Laurence fucks everything up.

[@ziggysawdust5407]

Exit Music is not a song for the vulnerable, it will destroy the toughest of hearts!

[@aaroncole3941]

Dude! In all seriousness!!! Look at any of their "live from the basement" series. Preferably "weird fishes"! Amazing stuff!

[@SOMA-no2gq]

Favorite performance of my favorite Radiohead song 😁

[@indigoknives]

Pyramid Song next

[@aliecua1994]

You should react to their Fake Plastic Trees concert in Glastonbury 2003
