[@jams8870]

Taking nothing away from the arrangement or musician, but this gives you an insight into how genius Radiohead's music really is.

[@joshcohenmusic]

It's pretty incredible. Makes it so easy to arrange the tunes when you have so much to work with.

[@alexedsell8138]

I agree

[@Jj-bh1tv]

More specifically---how genius Yorke is

[@Leo-bd7fw]

Usually hearing covers in piano gives you more perspective about the complexity of songs, that why radiohead on piano sounds so good

[@orca_noob896]

@@Jj-bh1tv​​⁠yes! I feel like Jonny gets all the credit musically and nobody acknowledges that Thom Yorke is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

I want to give this guy a virtual hug.

[@myevilfish]

I was in a psychiatric hospital early this year... I remember looking out through the single pane glass window. I was looking into the car park. It was a sunny day... this song kinda reminds me of all that...

[@rainfalls.ribcage]

I hope you're fine now, friend.

I was also in the psych ward this year. I have a very similar memory. Hope you are doing well

I love how easy it is to let yourself sing along with your covers

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thanks very much, that's really nice to hear!

[@santiagoaraya385]

Eres chileno?

[@tophan5146]

Haha I was just in the middle of singing myself! (although I can't sing)

[@oribenvalid2045]

The c part here (3:30) is the most exciting part in this whole amazing rendition. it never fails to amaze me . Great job Josh

[@unslimshady96]

agreed

[@ChudleighDesigns]

I don't understand how you can be that good! Simply beautiful.

[@joshcohenmusic]

I have played a lot of notes..

[@murillokubinhetz7443]

please teach me to play a lot of notes

[@soyboy1000]

Practice 30 mins a day until you are at that point then an hour a day. then 2. it just takes patents determination and GRIT

[@ChristineAreI]

How old were you when you started?

[@irokosalei5133]

If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly

[@jhostinortiz5349]

I love radiohead and now I love you too

[@joshcohenmusic]

I love you too.

The way you even did the distorted fadeout part with a piano... amazing

[@ayshasmith1344]

I RARELY EVER hear any covers of this song BUT THIS IS SO GOOD THANK GOD FOR THIS

[@joshcohenmusic]

Glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@Stingray2000]

Your taste in music is awesome

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thanks, Raymond. Glad you're enjoying the tracks! 😀

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

This made me breakdown in tears. I'm sorry to anyone I've ever hurt.

[@justinyuvilla8944]

If I heard this play at a fine dining restaurant, I would stop immediately in the middle of my meal to watch the pianist play. Thanks for this, it made my day.

[@Smilthy]

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and heard in my entire life. There is so much beauty and elegance contained between your fingers and those keys. It is true Radiohead created this masterpiece but you have made it revolutionary and beyond perfect through this rendition. Let your mind and hands never lose that taste in music. This is more than I can take. Absolutely beautiful.

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thank you very much for the kind words ✌️

[@Feanor026]

For the past 5 years, I sometimes come back here while working, I love all of the RadioHead covers, but this one is by far my favorite, can't explain why. So talented.

[@JamivanRooyen]

Shit this is so beautiful... that key change in the middle makes me go into euphoria

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thanks very much. Do you mean the key change in the chorus? If so, have you heard this? www.soundsjustlike.com/2704/radiohead-sounds-like-the-beatles/

[@JamivanRooyen]

The change starting from the "For a minute there I lost myself" 3:35 :) Wow yeah that Beatles song is so close haha Its that chord prog c d g f# lol

[@joshcohenmusic]

Yeah, interesting correlation, hey?

[@JamivanRooyen]

Keep up the cool covers man. Yes please do a Muse cover as the one guys mentioned haha. Hint - Butterflies And Hurricanes hehe ^^

[@joshcohenmusic]

Nice one, I'll add it to the list :-)

[@bayremlahmer461]

Amazing ! I was waiting for you to play the bass at the end and i wasn't disappointed, one of the greatest basslines ever.

[@joshcohenmusic]

+Bayrem Lahmer I love that baseline too. I love the baseline in the third verse of No Surprises. He harmonises Thom's melody. Have a listen if you haven't heard it yet. Only does it once throughout the song.

[@jamesbrindley649]

A song about overwork, stress and burnout. How many times can I relate to this!! Singing along is instant therapy.

[@contramundum2.0paradigmshi10]

There is a beautiful sense of defeat within this song. A funeral march to victory and freedom. A realization of doom beyond one's control. It's as if you see death, maybe even your death, but you've come to embrace it, but only because of its inevitable arrival. You deserve it, you want it, and yet you don't want to fully give in, because it's your nature to fight it, even though you know it's futile. Gratitude rises within your soul, for the time that you've had, even for the regrettable time you've wasted; you kiss yourself good-bye, if one can grasp the concept..and as the shadows fall upon your face, you still feel the faint, yet still existent warmth of the sun upon your neck. It is the sunset of your time here, and it's crashing into the horizon..at the speed of life.

[@culoooculooo6360]

nice

[@xanb]

thats a good way of putting it my friend

[@tyeevans4790]

when you listen to just the piano sure, not with the lyrics tho lol

[@nathanbosley76]

That was deep. Really made me think. Great comment.

Starting around 2:05, more so between 2:30 and 3:00, I love it! Makes it feel really intimate.

[@5ynthesizer]

No, he isn't whistling, this are resonances from/in the piano.

[@debaser1042]

It's incredible how you keep the integrity of all these songs and are still able to expand upon and make them your own. It's like your talking to the same part of me that was able to find so much meaning in the originals. It's a really incredible human connection. Keep it up!

[@mosephjaxwell]

Exactly! I love some of the other songs where he's created an intro that builds into the original music, which is gorgeous on its own, and then those few familiar notes start to tickle your ear, and that moment is just magic.

[@guillermomendezcendon]
