Radiohead - I Promise

[@DavMasters]

I'm 36, I had cancer 12 years ago, went through the most painful treatment a human being can handle, until the blessed day came when they told me I was cured. The thing is, when I was all wounded and down, only band I listened to was Radiohead, specially the OK Computer album, for some reason, this music kept me going, I can't explain it, it's magical. So now that this song comes up, for some reason all that energy of trying to survive a lethal sickness, all the hope that I had, all the love and patience I had to practice, all that came back, and jus like I PROMISED I will survive, I'm now listening to this masterpiece. I was meant to live, now I am married and have a daughter, back then, when I was sick, I didn't even know them, but now I'm grateful I Promised myself I will survive, I promised myself this too will pass. Thank you Radiohead for been there every time I needed you, back then when I survived hell, and now when I enjoy even the little things among my loved ones. Thank you Mr. Yorke.

[@slavaomelchuk7817]

My ex-flatmate introduced me to this band and this music video some years ago. At that time, I have noticed that it was filmed in Warsaw (Poland) the city where we were living. I am still living in the same flat and only now I have noticed that this place 2:21-2:27 is about 150 meters from our house. Unfortunately, this place is currently destroyed due to the new constructions. This place is only left in my memory and this video. Every time I watch this music video, it reminds me of how I walked through this place to catch a bus to my university... P.S. my dear ex-flatmate, thank you for introducing me to some good music:)

No I'm no expert but this is how I think it works in my head. There'll be a stack of tapes and recordings from the OK Computer days. These recordings aren't like a CD or vinyl they are extremely high quality. Radiohead are revisiting these tapes (and with more modern "transferring" techniques) they'll transfer the audio to CD and vinyl to sell.

beautiful words. Depicts the feeling of the video pretty well, the android is trying to capture everyone´s emotions, to be in the present moment with everything around (it?) him. Even if he's a non-organic thing, even then, he is trying to be there, in the life he is actually living, in contrast with many of us which are able to be in the moment but simply choose not to, cause its not as easy as the quote says. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Imagine an album being SO good that this song didn't make the cut!!! Edit: I'm amazed how many people are taking this comment literally and missing my point entirely

[@superchimpin]

It blew my mind too. You have such an incredible song, but your disc it’s so good that it didn’t make the cut.

[@timpoortinga8184]

Crazy

[@truelovewontwait]

It doesn't fit the album. And it's too good for a B-side. So they keep it? That's how imagined it lol

[@brentroberts1803]

And then they sit on it for 20 years 😳🤷‍♂️...

[@averyjenson]

+Jaka Prakasa Idk. A Reminder, Meeting in the Aisle, Palo Alto, Polyethylene, and How I Made my Millions are all really good and still ended up as b-sides. But you are right. It didn’t really fit the album. Neither did Lift (though, I think Lift could’ve been a good closing track after the Tourist). It was probably also a matter of the album length. Sometimes bands have a bunch of extras that just don’t make official releases. But, I think the band left them out because Lift and I Promise were pretty blatantly too britpop-y for the band and they didn’t want those songs to overshadow the rest of their main singles, or the album.

[@cyrusquinonez7543]

I saw them at Coachella this year, and seriously if they were the only band I saw, they made Coachella totally worth it.

"Even when the ship is wrecked, I promise Tie me to the rotten deck... I promise" I love this line. He's saying that even when their relationship crashes, he's never going to give up on it.

[@Marty-bj8cn]

Sounds like Titanic

[@thomassmartphone7125]

Relationship? No, that woulď be kitsch

[@BubbaGanoush2]

Read the entire lyrics of the song. it's about a relationship "I won't fool around no more" etc.

[@thomassmartphone7125]

Ryan Jorden Yeah, you can only fool around in a "relationship" 😞

[@andrewtucker94]

That's not a good thing. Lots of relationships are unhealthy. No glamour in ruining yourself for romance.

[@DevoxMD]

people say that Radiohead "started" with OK Computer. Don't get me wrong, it was a milestone but The Bends was my first record to get into Radiohead. This song brings me back to this time, how time flies!

[@VeteranRangerSwiss]

Joanne Zpl look blow out is a great song, and you is pretty good too.

[@surfclimbcycle]

WestonBVB The Bends got me into Radiohead too, many years ago now. Looking back - wow, what a blessing that's been :)

[@kb_analytics]

Yeah all their albums are #1 to me. Even Pablo Honey. "Blow Out" was waaay ahead of its time.

[@byakugan2173]

Not even because I am sad, but tears well up when I hear the emotion in Thom Yorkes voice. It is just overwhelming pure human emotion.

"Even when the ship is wrecked I promise" such a beautiful and strong promise that I'd never expect of someone but will gladly daydream about.

A broken/incomplete/severed man (or a facsimile of one in his own eyes) traveling on a path he clearly did not (could not?) put himself on laments his trajectory until he gets to glimpse her one last time, then in all of its heart-wrenching glory, the destination becomes irrelevant thanks to that brief swath of happiness. We should all be so fortunate as to find ourselves on a window seat in life.

[@strawberryfields4ever63]

You know, I'm 20 right now and the day of my 20th birthday I had this kinda nostalgia for something I've never really lived. I just though "I wish that I was 20 in 1997,walking the streets buying 'Ok Computer' in a store and listening to it all day long,watching a world maybe better than this".. and now Radiohead makes this dream come true in part. Thank you Radiohead,really.

[@samyorke872]

Happy to hear I'm not the only one ahah

Afiya N. Syarif You're welcome! :)

[@joshspeck5277]

I was almost twenty in 97, this song feels warm like mom's home cooking and holds you like the bends

[@loljustice31]

Yes, however did you know, being 20 in 1997 was so perfect in every way. The world was just completely beautiful because you could buy OKC at the age of 20 in 1997. I'm 37 and I'm really, really tired of ignorant comments like these that try to idealize a time you know nothing about; there's something tremendously insulting in someone simplifying a period of time into some juvenile and unrealistic impression instead of actually realizing that no period of time is ideal. Also, I've been a Radiohead fan since the mid-90s and I've always been annoyed by pretentious comments like those littering this video's response section.

[@fyootb9482]

This should be enough material for the next 4 coldplay albums

[@Bland_Radio]

FYOOTB TRUE 😂😂😂

[@thisisnot1102]

shots fired! (good luck with kid A!)

[@Torthrodhel]

I've kinda never understood this. Coldplay have never sounded much like Radiohead. Still a funny comment, but I don't get the pairing.

[@youhyun27]

I suggest trying earlier Coldplay and OK Computer.

[@aveytare2185]

지유현 you mean early Coldplay and The Bends

[@chrisvongas1105]

I've cried many times to many emotional songs but this one in particular just absolutely Obliterates me into a billion pieces. I can hardly make it half way through this song it's that good. Thank you Radiohead for a life time of incredible music, I promise.

[@TaraMaskLindberg]

Radiohead takes up a lot of space in my heart. Always.

[@Brendan-Black]

D'awww.

[@alexandrajoryn7725]

at 2:13 I saw a polish sign "Tęsknię za tobą.." I couldn't read the rest of it but it means "I miss you" this made me feel this song much more

[@alexandrajoryn7725]

well not really "the jews" but żydzie stands for one person but it's still written pretty badly in grammar way but i still can't understand why is that beacuse it makes no sense. Maybe someone had a nickname "jew" and it doesn't have to be adressed to an actual jew i guess

[@alexandrajoryn7725]

Yeah sure but it still was kind of a cool lil thing that may be exciting for polish fans but yeah

[@TheWislau]

Not" Żydzie" but "Życie". Życie means Life.I miss You..Life. It's like screaming someone who yearns for real life.

[@alexandrajoryn7725]

yeah i thought that but I saw "D" instead of a "C" so it confused me

[@bonecollector1984]

maybe the sign stands for Rachel. don´t worry...they´ll be back together in the next life

[@campfortson4387]

It's the weirdest thing. I was listening to my tunes and junk tonight, and this melody came back to me even though i only watched this song for a few minutes weeks ago. It was driving me crazy, and I thought it was in a sad film I watched or something. I looked up "songs that can make people cry", saw somebody mention 'Last Flowers' by this band, and went on KZbin to see it. I saw this video in the suggestions, and everything came flooding back. Bless everyone in Radiohead, seriously

[@tompikielny1987]

Last flowers is the only song ever made me cry

[@alejandroaguilar132]

thats the core of the song. He is far too damaged and incomplete. Still he can feel empathy for others even when he is the most broken of them all. Feels love even when he doesnt feel lke human anymore. Radiohead is like watching a full lenght movie without watching it. Thats where their brilliance comes from.

[@ptaryndactyl]

When a song makes you bawl on first listen... man I Love Radiohead so fucking much.

[@oasisbeyond]

You never hear the original live version back in the day? Always loved it, but it sounded pretty bad, always wondered why they never made a clean version of it on a b side. But, this song deserves to be on a actual album.

[@briarrose29]

Me too!

I will be listening to Radiohead until the day I cease to exist. I promise.

I played this song in my head when i was sitting alone in a crowded bus. It was pouring outside and i was gazing at the junction through the window and man, the glistening roads were reflecting the streetlights and the headlights of the cars and i saw a child watching the puddle form ripples. It was all so goddam beautiful and i felt so glad i didnt kill myself the previous day.

Rodolfo, in my opinion, it's the feeling that you can feel and the things that you can look at through a window in a long night, when you guess you're alive but you're already dead inside, like the plastic face, which is the main character, that in the end, when morning comes, discovers that it is effectively dead!

How are Radiohead's B-B-sides better than most other band's singles? And twenty years after this was written, AMSP still hits the quality bar. Legendary.

[@garrett_69777]

Think you got the wrong album there man. AMSP came out in 2016. This was meant to be on OK Computer

[@unifiedscene]

@@garrett_69777 No, I mean that 20 years after this song was recorded, they were able to record another album (AMSP) that is also high quality.

Traveled Europe this year. Seen a lot of new things. Different people. Different ideas. Sat by the pool, heard the different languages.. the families the young children. For a whole minute I glimpsed peace and tranquility. Even though I couldn't understand what the kids were saying splashing around in the pool. I connected with them, I felt my childhood again. They felt like family... It doesn't matter where your from what you look like. We're all the same. We feel and have the same pleasures. Yes I know I'll never get that minute back again.
