I hate myself for being “that guy” but OK Computer REALLY needs to be a full album experience, man. Literally one of the GOAT albums.

Many people point out how well this song depicts depression and suicidal desperation but I think what is often missed is that there’s also an ironic sweetness to these low moods which is picked up perfectly by the ostensibly innocent sound of the bells and xylophone. There’s really nothing accidental about Radiohead’s music.

[@Hypobolic415]

[@storm14k]

@@itchywitch I think they very much can make someone depressed. I think though the reason they are able to pull me out of my worst moments is because when the doc just wants to shift some chemicals in my head and others just think I need to "cheer up" Radiohead proves to me that someone knows enough about how I actually FEEL to write songs about it.

A job that slowly kills him, bruises that won't heal Haunting...truly

[@Sklein17]

The song isn't hiding that it's about suicide. The simple/airy nature of the song has a cruel irony when you listen to the lyrics, as death seems like a seductive release when you're in the depths of depression.

[@StratsRUs]

'' It could be applied to aging baby boomers who used to protest the government (You were so tired, happy, bring down the government, they don't, they don't speak for us) who have resignated themselves to high-stress jobs where they are subjected to heart disease or exposed to dangerous chemicals that are killing them (a job that slowly kills you), eating foods that clog their arteries and smoke and drink so that their body is full of poisons (A heart that's full up like a landfill), and they are slowly coming down with cancer, strokes, and heart attacks (some cancers have symptoms of bruises that don't go away and heart attacks and strokes can be brought on by blood clots blocking blood vessels and don't move), so they deal with businesses that poison the air (I'll take the quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide) such as the automobile industry. No longer arguing or protesting (Silent, silent). They may be on their death bed with a terminal disease caused by their lifestyle of the aforementioned or it could be their last time mentioning their dissent before taking in a life of pure acquiescence (This is my final fit, my final bellyache). They trade in the thrill and flavor of their life for the security of assimilation and in exchange for acceptance they get their house in the suburbs complete with a yard and 2.5 children (Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden). And they don't want any stirring up of their past excitement (No alarms and no surprises, please).'' I copied it off some Song Meaning site

[@polrua]

The bit where you say 'Simple isn't easy' really hit me. Simple is one of the hardest things there is. You can put out a super-complex arrangement with layers upon layers upon layers with all kinds of effects and tricks and gimmicks and it's easy for poor choices and wrong steps to vanish in amongst all that 'noise', but in a simple arrangement, the slightest wrong step stands out like a spider on a wedding cake. 'Simple' is HARD.

[@TheGreatBLT]

'Subterranean...' is quite possibly my favourite Radiohead song. I just find it one of the most perfect matches of lyrics and music, and the composition and the mix is so otherworldly. Good shout

[@pianorover]

Such an amazing song! Thanks for suggesting it, I'm starting to think it's not that underrated after all.

[@Bradmarley311]

The lyrics set against the music set this track apart. The last chorus with the backing vocals saying “let me out of here” gives me chills. Really drives home the album concept of an uneasy relationship with technology in the present (which was the 90s) and where it would take us in the future.

[@travelservices1200]

Yeah, I love the sweet, music-box style music, Thom's almost Perry Como style singing, contrasted with the truly dark lyrics. It's definitely in my top ten favorite songs of all time.

[@eatingsound373]

I never felt it was about technology, it was all about people and the oppression we face as workers. The first lyrics are "a job that will slowly kill you". It's not about technology, it's about humans becoming robots.

[@jojogpt]

Radiohead are emotionally draining but very satisfying. I can't describe the feeling when I sit down and listen to their albums. I could just lie down and spend the day listening. I had avoided getting into Radiohead. I don't know why but the only song I had heard from them was Creep, and I did not pursue them further. Then in my first semester in college, I decided to give them a try and I immediately went into a phase where I'd listen only to Radiohead all the time. Discovering a band that can leave an impression on you is such a delight.

[@williamclose6978]

This is a song of painful beauty. One of the things I learned about this track is that they purposefully dropped the speed of the arrangement so that it is slightly flat (it drives guitar players batty to try and play along with the track lol), and the vocals are dropped in on the mix after. Such a haunting song about the desire to just be done/finished/ still. Just at the precipice, a desire to push through back into the world feels almost joyous. This song has been there for me in many dark times, and I am glad you got to enjoy it with us

i really love the proper analysis you give here. that's the thing that always shocks me about radiohead; thom yorke is obviously an astonishingly talented songwriter in his own right, but the real strength of the band is in their absolutely perfect arrangements. it genuinely astounds me how they are all able to complement each others' parts perfectly and always make a song greater than the sum of its parts. i vaguely remember seeing another member, jonny greenwood, talk about how they saw themselves less like a regular, meat-and-potatoes "oi i want a solo in this one" kind of rock band and more just as a collective of arrangers, and i'm glad you really picked up on this. i've always really admired this song (i think it's the perfect "pop" song with only some latter-day beatles really competing), and so i love that you picked it apart in this way. it's highlighted some of the things i admire about it, and i think your analysis will really help with my own songwriting and arrangements.

This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs just because of they way Mr. York sings it live. When you see him sing it you know he means it with every fiber of his being, maybe more than any other song. :) Thanks for the videos.

OK Computer and Aenema came out around the same time and I've never stopped loving either band.

The most consistently creative band of a generation imo. And Glastonbury in 97 is still my favourite ever live performance. May they long continue.

[@benrawson007]

Wow you lucky person. Those were the days.

[@angusisarat5707]

You’re so lucky (pun intended), Glastonbury ’97 is one of my favourite documented shows they’ve done - Climbing Up the Walls, My Iron Lung and Exit Music from that show are mind blowing!

[@Eldioblo11]

Great video as always. Love seeing how much thought you put into these, and just how well you are able to describe how I feel in the words I just can't put together. I think it'd be really interesting to see your reaction to some black midi. Maybe Chondromalacia Patella or John L. Either way keep it up!

[@stevenchiaravalle8054]

What a beautiful day! I wake up to see this of all songs.. such a treat and a unique doing by Radiohead. Have you ever heard of Elliot Smith? Waltz#2 is a good start

[@gpeddino]

There's so much Radiohead material that deserves a reaction, it's even hard to make suggestions. But I'd love to see you react to "Nude" and "Present Tense".

[@bradmiller7755]

Love your reviews as always, so glad you got to dive into this exhalation of a song. STRONGLY recommend National Anthem - amazing orchestration and compositions.

[@bneal85]

Thanks for this video Geebz! Looking forward to more Radiohead, as with all you do. I see many exciting suggestions. I'll throw in another and encourage you to eventually decompose Subterranean Homesick Alien (also on OK Computer). Be well and take care!

[@insoxicatedfan8550]

Love it, keep 'em coming! Also, Exit Music (For A Film) by Radiohead is a masterpiece!

[@jamiewatt933]

15 step is a bit different but I think you’d like the production

[@_CoasterNinja]

Happy you enjoyed another Radiohead track! Thanks again for another great reaction!

[@kenndoll83]

I’ve been waiting a while for this one. The first time I heard this song, I instantly became a fan. That led me to watch a live concert they performed on MTV Live at the Ten Spot, which further solidified me as a fan. And they hadn’t even done their best work yet, in my opinion. Anyway, thank you for this. You didn’t even talk much about what was going on in the song, but it was still great to see you experience this incredible song for the first time, and to see you so stunned by the music that you forgot what you were doing. I highly recommend Jigsaw Falling into Place for your next Radiohead reaction video. I think you’ll like most, if not all, of their music, but that’s one I think you’ll really enjoy, and it’ll give you a chance to check out something a little further along on their musical journey. Then circle back to Morning Bell, another haunting track, this one from around the midpoint (and some would say high point of their career, creatively), that’s totally different from everything else you’ve heard by them. From their earlier work, which you’ve mostly overlooked thus far, I’d recommend Just. It has some really interesting guitar work that I’m sure you’ll appreciate.

So happy you love Radiohead. They are in a class of their own. I've ask a few times already you listen to Street Spirit. It is a mellow song that sounds simple, but it brings me to tears every time I hear it. It would make me very happy to watch you react to it ☺

[@MiscerVids]

Yes! One of my favorite songs

[@heighleybaily8037]

Radiohead have so many great songs, you can get lost in the band. Thanks geebz as always

[@Mikemikemike232]

Your input is always great. It enhances my understanding off music I already love. And as far as radiohead his lyrics are great but his voice is so beautiful it could be used solely as an instrument. He could sing the ingredients to ramen noodles and make it amazing.

[@captainpewpew1451]

The thing about your reactions is that not only you analyze the composition but you truly speak from the heart. You actually try to explain what you feel. I don't know about the other viewers but I like that. It's a human connection.

[@D1210]

I have just stumbled, somehow, across your channel. It’s absolutely wonderful. I am your newest subscriber. This channel gives me Radiohead goosebumps all over again. ❤️🌈❤️🌈❤️

Thanks and welcome

Fucking amazing

[@dedekprimadana242]

i'm listening all your radiohead reaction video btw , great reaction ! hope you stay healthy and still continue the radiohead reaction video !

[@kateofkates]

I was waiting to see your reaction when the “get me out of here” vocals came in at the end, did not disappoint haha.. it is a song about death by suicide so your interpretation of sadness and relief are very accurate. Radiohead really know how to sum up complex emotions sonically.

[@Asher8328]

Really enjoyed this. I see that a few people are suggesting you listen to, "Let Down," and I really hope you do. It's my favorite song from this album.

[@stevematthews4565]

Finally someone articulated it! When you said it was 'sombre and heavy' but at the same time 'relieving and hopeful' - that's exactly how I've experienced Radiohead for 20 years. So many people say it's 'miserable/depressing', but it's so uplifting to me.

[@colemanlappe7337]

Love this channel, so many great songs/bands have been covered. Two underatted bands that I'd love to see you react to are 1. daughters with their song guest house 2. Rolo tomassi with their song a flood of light

[@carlhammill5774]

I haven't listened to Radiohead in years and forgot how much it correctly broke me. Thank you for that.

[@jesseandrews2303]

I am not familiar with Radiohead, I am ready to be educated. I do owe you a cup of Coffee 👍

[@mkswk09]

Do yourself a favor and just listen to this album in it’s entirety. OK computer is phenomenal. They’re all great but In Rainbows is my other favorite album

[@justsomejusstsome8994]

@@mkswk09 I second that. Also Kid A. I'd just go in the order of their discography timeline

[@TheCivildecay]

@@mkswk09 I really like ..and hail to the thief

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to me. I have added Radiohead onto my Premium Spotify 🤘

[@ice_fox]

Glad you're doing more Radiohead. I know you get suggestions up the kazoo, but Hail to the Thief is such an amazing album musically, I think you'd really appreciate it. 2+2=5, Sit down stand up, and Where I end and you begin in particular. (A lot like the popular single There There from the album, but it's one of the weaker track imho, still good though.). Love your channel, lifelong musician/composer here too. Your facial expressions are so easy to relate to when a track hits your soul.

[@notdave7005]

I'm always here for the Radiohead love!!

[@andraszoltan2]

Love your reactions, thanks for all the effort you put in. Helps add appreciation to stuff I already like, but also to find ways into new things that I didn't know about. In the case of Radiohead, they're my favourite band so here are my suggestions: Bloom, Morning Mr Magpie (interesting rhythms), Codex, We Suck Young Blood, Scatterbrain, There There, Nude, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Body Snatchers, Jigsaw Falling Into Place (odd structure - chorus only once at the end), Present Tense, The Numbers, Like Spinning Plates. I could go on!

[@mhbackman]

I can't tell you how many times I've gone for a night walk with OK Computer being my soundtrack. The climax of No Surprises makes me want to cry every time (in both joy and sadness).

[@moondog548]

Amazing again. "A Release of Suffering" is exactly why Radiohead is so magically CATHARTIC even when they're completely despairing, because they're genius composers! Their most impactful song on me remains OPTIMISTC. Musically it's an AGGRESSIVE OPPRESSIVE DIRGE, and the lyrics honestly play straight with that theme... AND YET!!!... it has always impacted me, especially at the depths of my depression, as EMPOWERING. And having my feelings of utter despair made so explicit somehow make it possible for the song's seemingly ironic lyrics ("You can try the best you can; the best you can is good enough") hit fully sincerely as good enough reason to keep on going. Sorry, got off on a tangent there, but very similar theme to No Suprises, although almost a complete inverse... No Suprises is the soothing positive song about settling for nothing you really wanted that feels like an ironic (and again-- ironically empowering!) rejection of its own premise.

[@ansuriayihada5093]

I've taken to 'adopt' this song and done plenty of rearrangements to highlight parts of it. The song reminds me of coming home for Christmas, to meet family, relatives and friends. Methinks its gonna be awesome playing this on the ukelele.

[@lukehoward820]

Wow I'm so glad you did this song, it means alot to me. It's so sad but somehow gives me a little strength to carry on. 🤘🏼
