[@jwong6784]

15 years ago i was listening to this song in my basement studio and felt like drawing something. never expected anyone would see it. i'm glad some people like it. thanks everyone. - jon

[@mariners216]

REALLY. that’s awesome. i remember uploading this video and i figured i needed an image so i google imaged the title and this was among the results

[@Iceymeltedagain]

Its so cool i love it ‼️‼️

[@pedrovisgueira]

I love your art, Jon. I was staring at it the whole time the song was playing. I'm glad you decided to pick up the pen that day.

[@CraigStCyrPlus]

Even an official Radiohead art piece wouldn't do this justice like yours. Merci monsieur

[@Tlilancalqui]

I used to play guitar in Montreal, on the street and in the subways, and few times I'd be joined by a street artist who had a similar line style, he'd use his fingers to paint these 'smoky' drawings, on the back of commercial advertising banners that he'd lift. He'd ask for about $20 for a 20"x30", unless you wanted to push him down and then he might take whatever you offered. But I love the emotion that can be conveyed in this style. I suppose he was further in the back ground of this image, more in the chaos, less aware of his own self or the words that people are saying around him. But I can relate to being the alien in the foreground. Maybe not with the beer, but still thought I'd give you some recognition, and hope you give people the opportunity to continue to enjoy your art.

Can't believe I'm only hearing this now, in 2024. This is remarkably similar to the released version, meaning they were basically sitting on this gem for years before it got released.

[@MM-vs2et]

Wow Thom's 90s growl was so distinct. Funny how past The Bends it never reared it's head anymore

[@TheAstroTaco13]

probably wasnt a very sustainable way to sing

[@krisjill5918]

A criminally underrated Radiohead song. Pure genius in any of its forms.

[@NightManAkimbo]

nobody underrates this song, it’s a jewel in the crown of one of the best albums ever recorded

[@krisjill5918]

@@NightManAkimbo I want to believe you are right, alas I have not found many fellow fans who are as fanatic for the song as I am. Perhaps I need to find new friends. You know. Take me on board of their beautiful ship. Show me the world as I'd love to see it.

[@NightManAkimbo]

@@krisjill5918 but what do i know, my favourite radiohead tracks ever are probably ‘reckoner’ and ‘i might be wrong’ :)

[@krisjill5918]

@@NightManAkimbo Both good choices!

[@GrandpaSon]

I mean, I've listened to my fair share of RH concerts, and I've heard this maybe once or twice.

[@mariners216]

yeah i still love this. picture is actually the first result in a google image search for 'subterranean homesick alien.' not sure of the source -- the way the other people are drawn reminds me of stanley donwood's stuff.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Every acoustic version of this song has left me breathless.

[@2613-l3l]

i didn't know that an already unbelievable good song could be more beautiful.

[@farfle10]

that fucking voice.

[@icantthinkofaname2417]

1995-1998 thom's best voice

[@sovka8394]

My favourite is 2000-2010.

[@thekushkunt]

@@sovka8394 Same here, his vocals became far more refined during the in-rainbows era, if you listen to an early version of Nude from the 90s compared to the studio version from in-rainbows, his vocals are incredibly cleaner and smoother

[@pendantairplane]

My favorite is definitely 1993-2024

The breath of the morning I keep forgetting The smell of the warm summer air I live in a town Where you can't smell a thing You watch your feet For cracks in the pavement Up above Aliens hover Making home movies For the folks back home Of all these weird creatures Who lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves And live for their secrets They're all Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Oh I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane Late at night when I'm driving Take me on board their beautiful ship Show me the world as I'd love to see it I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life They'd shut me away But I'd be alright Alright I'm alright Alright I'm just Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight Uptight

such a nice 'wet noise' that guitar has, i dont get how he gets that sound from the guitar
