RADIOHEAD No Surprises REACTION! - Jersh Reacts

[@helterskelter2927]

I've heard the song is about someone sitting in their car, inhaling the exhaust fumes hence "Handshake of carbon monoxide."

[@rosinaldorosina4499]

Please react to "How to disappear completely", "Nude" and "Reckoner" by Radiohead! Thanks

[@in_differ_ence]

How to disappear is my fav too 😎😉🍾

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

I don't know how his answer to this question has changed over the years, but there was a time when lead singer Thom Yorke said "How To Disappear Completely" would be the one song of his he'd want to be remembered for. FWIW

[@shade51]

This song is among my top 10 favorites of all time. It had personal meaning for me back in the day. I still find the song meaningful.

[@egrikomrade]

This song is my personal favorite Radiohead song, just because the meaning of the sing sticks very close to me. To me, the lyrics and song is simply about slowly dying away, much like you said in your video. I set this song as my alarm, so when I get up every day at 6:30 AM, it remindsme of the simplicity of life. People lie, we work too much for no reasons, and slowly die away.

[@concertino58]

You’re so spot on about the idea about how he’s bored at his office job- that’s part of the theme to the album that this song is on. To get a peak/listen to what this album is about is to listen to the track/interlude “Fitter, Happier”

[@seaweedgreen3276]

My favorite Radiohead song, after my father's passing, I used to go swim at the park late at night and listen to this on repeat. I still catch myself listening to this late at night in my bed.

[@SOMA-no2gq]

Finally breaking into OK Computer I see. To me this is almost like a lullaby and fills the same sonic space that Let Down from the same record does to the point where I often mix them up. This one is a little more straightforward compared to the former but has a very beautifully shot video. I kinda feel it fits more on The Bends album but a nice song nonetheless. Look forward to more: Pyramid Song All I Need Go Slowly Sail to the moon Just You Bodysnatchers

[@SOMA-no2gq]

I completely spaced that you already reacted to Exit Music 🤦‍♂️

[@ollyhudson9931]

Radiohead - Reckoner

[@brycekirkham6896]

React to There, There by Radiohead! Such a great and bizarre music video and I'm sure youd find it very thought-provoking

[@RustinChole]

KZbin the making of this. He suffers for your entertainment.

[@watkinscopicat]

it doesn’t get any better than this, utterly perfect song.

[@drummer4916]

Fake Plastic Trees!

[@SuperJersh]

I reacted to fake plastic trees and it got copyright blocked :/ it’s been on Patreon for a couple weeks

[@MiyuMedia]

[@nicolastambuyser3822]

my favorite songs from this record are Let Down and The Tourist

[@nicolastambuyser3822]

the radiohead documentay Meeting People Is Easy features a bit of the making of this video

[@goldboy150]

He’s got a deviated septum. So do I - looks exactly like that from underneath yet my nose is perfectly straight.

[@Redrum2381]

The Unibomber once tried to kill himself then worried of failing and having brain damage. So he then went on to mail many bombs.

[@ac9110]

I think sometimes people forget to listen to the actual song because they're either watching the video or trying too hard to work out what they're singing about.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

The general theme of the entire album that this came from (OK Computer) is one of being overwhelmed by the world around you. The songs take on different approaches to this theme (this one is weariness at the stresses of the world around you: work, complaints, government, and how things like a nice house don't solve all that).

[@mradriankool]

Watch & react to “Rabbit in your Headlights” Thom provided the vocal for the track by Unkle. That will haunt you long after the song has finished

[@DarylMemetic]

This was a single from OK COMPUTER (1997) one of their albums I hear a lot about (this and KID A). Apparently this was recorded in one take and they ended up using the first take. The lyrics do seem to be about escapism from the everyday struggles, I thought your extended interpretation on the video was interesting too beyond the in your face aspects presented. The 'Lullaby' feel kinda reminds me a bit of SNOW PATROL's song YOU COULD BE HAPPY (2006) in a way.

[@thedrhannah]

Man. This song made me sad.

[@seaweedgreen3276]

And it wasn't an effect, he actually was in the helmet with the water.

[@silentnoiz]

Check out their song Talk Show Host

[@socksthc3095]

that "What the Fuck" at the end

[@carlgrant9785]

I would be very interested to see your reaction/analysis of the Siouxsie and Banshees songs: "Belladonna" and "Green fingers".

[@santiagogonzalez8775]

You should do reaction to their song/video "Just". Its a weird one

[@suhnay]

2 + 2 = 5 and A Wolf at the Door :))

[@Womberto]

It's a lullaby... of sorts.

[@Brainles5]

You should check out Thom yorkes Anima, 15 minute music short film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson!

[@playcold84]

This music video is brilliant

[@clintoo167]

need to react to the live version of creep

[@jameshannagan7830]

Great song like a beautiful lullaby about suicide then just a plea for peace in his life like a lot of middle aged people their earlier stuff is generally more simple still great though and there later stuff more complicated and still great.

[@Tthomm]

hi jersh, I love your videos, I've got an artiste called mxmtoon if you'd like to react to her :)

[@lesetoiles_maggie]

The thing this song makes me think of is that Thom York is a brilliant songwriter and Radiohead is the best band ever! 😝

[@tokilladaemon]

I think the “such a pretty house, and such a pretty garden” is an oblique reference to how the things that society and a 9-5 teaches you to aspire towards are worthless and bring no happiness - no matter how pretty they are, the narrator is still utterly hollow and defeated.

[@NumneunoGames]

Get meeee out of heeeere!!

[@CanalLegendas]

This song is aboit suicide ...

[@MiriamLago-f3r]

Parinoid sndroid ....i cant believe nobody requested you react to that one its the very first song id suggest anyone hears first because it shows how Radio head can switch it up in a heartbeat 💓🎸🎵😍also it s very unique and a much harder rock sound than any of the songs you have reacted from.them but its a great and fun ass song 👍

[@bschart]

Nice take.

[@skyh3008]

Please react to Oingo Boingo "Private Life" or "Just Another Day"

[@watkinscopicat]

he didn’t really hold his breath for that long, they just slowed down the video

[@louisethomson820]

He did hold his breath - there’s film of him trying it multiple times until he succeeded.

[@stvncu]

React BLOOM live, it's fantastic

[@lezlyeperez5281]

TKOL live is amazing in general, I wish they came out with an acoustic version

[@_daniel_9402]

React to nirvana

[@insolencestar]

this song feels post-apocalyptic to me - the reminiscence of how shit life was before and the bullshit "peace" you were sold - the video almost feels like an experiment subject (matrix-ish) waking up in their little pod again and realising this isnt any better, but it isnt worse either. maybe they chose to be there to get away from their life (just wanted peace). someone comes in, turns on the lights, and you wonder if you'll die when the water rises this time.. and youre suprised to realise youre happy when you dont.. only now, your freedom is gone, and it's too late. it's.. the ultimate downside to suicide; not living long enough to realise living might be better.

[@petef15]

Who listens to music with one earphone?

[@SuperJersh]

Someone who is deaf in one ear.

[@dencar777]

its about eco and mans over consumption land fills and governments not caring about the planet. Watch the making of the video

[@itswonky573]

His nostrils aren't an effect I have them the same but worse.

[@floridabelle]

As much as I've missed YOU and your rock/metal reactions, I definitely don't miss this band. I'll still give the next one try though. Good to see you again. ❤️👍

[@SalvadorJoli]

Its 2001

[@SalvadorJoli]

The video, that is
