RADIOHEAD - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi | FROM BASEMENT | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION(Took us years to make)

[@JJlovesPrince]

Loved it!!! I’m so happy that Alexia was able to join in this reaction since the song is so special to both of you. It’s interesting that you mentioned this song as being melancholy because I feel that way about most Radiohead songs. Anyone who is close to me knows that I’m in a sad space whenever I’m listening to a lot of Radiohead. To me, the best things about music are how it brings out your own emotions and brings people together. Thanks so much for sharing your story and reacting to this song!

This is the best live band ever. The whole basement session is amazing.

[@jacksonbrawn6638]

The whole "From the Basement" is amazing!

[@simonhills806]

My opinion - the most creative and accomplished band of the last 30 years. Incredible

[@theplanetruth]

I have BINGED OVER AND OVER the entire set from the BASEMENT.

[@pablozee6359]

How can anyone not cry when Ed comes in with those magical background vocal. Great song, great performance.

[@loppler]

Adorable. You two are just feeling it like I do EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[@kencribbs9344]

This Radiohead song was a major component in my life's soundtrack for a long, long time after it was released. Their superb musicianship and uniquely brilliant compositions continue to transport me elsewhere, whether I need to or not.

[@Anton...M]

Как приятно смотреть на людей, которые имеют тонкое восприятие музыки и испытывают те же эмоции от прослушивания этой невыразимо прекрасной музыки. У меня тоже всегда катятся слезы из глаз, когда я слышу эту песню. Она явно не из этого мира. И ее мог написать тоже только человек с более высоким сознанием.

[@scottanderson8420]

That was a terrific song, song request and reaction. Radiohead was a bandit was just never on my radar out. I was at the height of my activity in my career, probably wrapped up in my old music. Great to hear it here. I’ve already downloaded this song and I’m anxious to hear it again. Very compelling melody, chord, progression, note choices, atmospheric nuances, very original and nothing derivative, amazingly good. Love you guys peace out thanks JJ. 👍👍❤️❤️

[@falcongal63]

All of their From the Basement sessions are incredible. I highly recommend checking out more.

[@jameshannagan4256]

I think most of In Rainbows sounds better live, especially from the basement which is actually the studio for their producer Nigel Godrich who's often referred to as their 6th member. There are other bands who did recorded performances from this studio like The White Stripes, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Sonic Youth to name a few.

[@radiofoot1035]

Love this reaction guys, y'all are the best. This session of this song specifically was one of the most important and beautiful moments of my life, it was one of my first exposures to the band, and it single handedly changed what I can expect from music, this song is a perfect example of how emotionally potent music can be, personally this song feels like a combination of profound sadness and something unbelievably beautiful, I can imagine something like watching the most beautiful sunset but while knowing its your last.

[@debrabrabenec3731]

Your handle is a hoot!

[@radiofoot1035]

@@debrabrabenec3731 HAHAHA thank you 😂

[@scottcoleman9710]

Huge Radiohead fan and have seen them live twice. Very tight band. Their entire catalog is great. Ed O'Brien, the guy with the background vocals in this video put out a really solid solo album a few years ago. Check out the tune the Daily Mail in the Basement when they have horns in the background. It's fantastic.

[@davidlukey5189]

Amazing performance. You should do Reckoner from the basement too. The two moments where Colin gently walks the bass into the mix just floor me every time.

[@zoeherriot]

I LOVE that part - I just watched another reaction where they talked over that part. I was so mad. ;)

[@johnseward2934]

The sudden vibe switch at 12:37 is one of my favorite Radiohead moments in their full catalogue. Despite how much creep has been overplayed and how they are so tired of playing it, it was the perfectly authentic song for that time in their life and thats why its so popular. They may have outgrown it, but others will grow up and it'll be the right song for them.

[@NicknLex]

Well said about Creep, never thought of it that way, thanks! - Lex

[@Hypobolic415]

I remember watching a nature documentary about the ocean many years ago. The entire episode was dedicated to what happens when a whale dies, and its carcass falls to the depths of the ocean floor... picked over by the worms. This song always reflected a certain kind of grief that I was never able properly express as a young man, trying to navigate the world; Most of the time lost in some way, pretending I wasn't. For me, Thom was singing about escape and release through inevitable death... feeding the teeming masses of scavengers, giving the gift a morbid sort of life to everyone else. Yeah, it is dark, but I get it, and it speaks directly to a very important part of me, and likely to everyone else who cherishes this song so much. Thanks for the reaction.

[@davehess1019]

I think it's great how music can connect to people's souls together, you two are the definition of a match made in heaven, ❤

[@sarahzentexas]

The power music has to take you back in time to a specific personal event is mindblowing. You two know ❤

[@franckthibault2521]

Finally another Episode of The N&L mixt tape! I am so happy you requested it this JJ!

[@freeguitar]

When music is good can be soundtrack of life and at the same time have it's own world independent from your feelings....leaving mind opened....

[@Ericmeredith3209]

Radiohead has been the definition of progressive for so many years! Great album! Really cool video and performance . Thank you JJ! Nick and Lex we love that you show who you are in these videos! Love you guys!

[@christopherhuot2826]

RADIOHEAD could sing the menu at Arby's and it would be gr8 👍 😅

[@cyclops60]

Great reaction guys. I'll definitely be checking out their basement gig. There is a wonderful video of Thom, Jonny and a drum machine playing a song called The Numbers. I highly recommend it, it is beautifully performed and visually stunning as well, in fact I have to go and watch it now! Cheers

[@FutureAbe]

7:36 aw this line really got to Nick, I can understand why given the history..

[@williamandres1042]

Such a great reaction video, I am so glad it was so good for this song, because this is actually my favorite song (in this specific version) by my favorite band. Knowing that this song means a lot to you is nice 😄 Thanks!

[@NicknLex]

Glad you enjoyed it. Its honestly a masterpiece.

[@richarddobson815]

I only really know The Bends and OK Computer from Radiohead's catalogue, so this was great to see and it was great! Remember your Brothers Johnson reaction where you talked about brothers in bands? Well here's an example of where it works very well. The Greenwood brothers - Jonny on guitar/keys and Colin on bass. A band that does everything on their own terms.

[@mikeyben7]

This band❤ This album🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 Perfect album

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

The whole In The Basement gig is brilliant but if I had to recommend just one song from this gig it'd be 15 Step, absolutely brilliant performance.

[@bashab3098]

Phil Selway is a metronome , it is so hard to be so minimalist, ramrod straight beneath the base as the others spiral around them .

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

It's so strange to me now, that I got into these guys in the late 90s, prior to their full bloom*

[@rosenfield10]

You should check out Radiohead playing The Smiths. You will find a live performance on youtube of Radiohead playing "The Headmaster Ritual." Maybe do The Smiths version first, and then Radiohead's live version (they sound very similar). ❤

[@SuperGangste]

My all time favorite song ❤

[@Tass...]

The right reaction.

[@angeloscarcroce726]

Hola!!! Mi tema favorito que ronda por siempre en mi cabeza es "Creep", bellísima banda!!! Gracias!!! Saludos desde Temperley, BsAs.

[@the_oslovian]

Oh yes! Finally more Radiohead ❤

[@yorkiephil1]

This song makes me cry too. And I don't cry. Beautiful melodies are hard to listen to. It's wondrous though.

[@stephencaruso760]

JJ loves Radiohead!

[@Fatrickswayze17]

The guitar on the right in the headphones is the musical genius Jonny Greenwood

[@HidingFromFate]

ooh, boy. Based upon that wistful intro story alone, I just knew this was going to be a special viewing/reaction to such a good performance. And it was.

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Music is so powerful to evoke emotions and memories. RADIOHEAD in particular dig deep into my psyche and they always provide an emotional gut punch. I’ve really grown to ADORE them. They’re in an elite class of bands where the output and talent equals the hype and the sales and the acclaim. One of their most underrated and beautiful albums is “MOON SHAPED POOL”… which I consider on the same tier as “OK COMPUTER” and “KID A”… it’s an atmospheric gem. Some other bands that measure up (IMO) are: XTC, ELBOW, and THE CHILLS (check out “PYRAMID/WHEN THE POOR CAN REACH THE MOON,” “NIGHT OF THE CHILL BLUE,” and/or “WATER WOLVES” (symphony version).

[@claudialeguern]

Just❤. beautiful

[@NicknLex]

Danke dir Mama❤🧡

[@rosenfield10]

Here's a list of Radiohead songs to check out: Thinking About You, Planet Telex, Fake Plastic Trees (my fave), How to Disappear Completely, Everything in its Right Place. Anything from From the Basement is amazing.

[@NicknLex]

Great suggestions! I know most of those, and Fake Plastic Trees was the first song I heard of theirs that made me fall in love.

[@MisterWondrous]

I love that they let Thom sleep until right before performance time. He has the best bedhead of any rocker north of Newstead's neck of the woods, especially Jim, who has been disqualified, due to lack of participating matériel. That said, I loved seeing them play. The editing was superb. Everything was, including your reactions. "Pyramid Song" resonates with me more than many of their songs, but this one will be revisited many times. Thanks JJ and ye lovelies.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Tears from beauty: aren't they the best ? (Do yourself a favour: the whole From The Basement video.)

Agree, really good version that!

[@ChrisN1973]

‘Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed’ O’Brien makes it!

[@sselt]

My favorite version of this song is also here on YT under the title "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (Scotch Mist)". It's a dark song in a way, but has a great line regarding love: I'd be crazy not to follow, follow where you lead . . . Good advice for any boy who has found someone like Lex!

[@MonsterSound.Bradley]

man you guys are so damn cute, cheers 😀🍁 ThX JJ

[@RhettAnderson]

One of those songs where Ed is singing his own name.

[@malkmusRules]

I can't listen to the album, only the From the Basement version. Disagree it sounds like the recorded version. It sounds so much better than the recorded version. Nude, Reckoner and House of Cards in particular stand out as well from this session.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

We're seven seats from Thom on the 25th of this month, during his "Everything" tour In NEW ZEALAND

[@NicknLex]

Wow!! Have an amazing time!

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

@@NicknLex turns out we were five seats back, not seven. Was spectacular. He played nine of my flavourite Radiohead songs. Cindy was beaming the whole time. He said before one song that he'd had thr opportunity to work with some amazing people over the years, too many to mention, but that he hates touring alone. His synth stopped 20 seconds into a club anthem, and he pointed out that there was "no computer on stage ... these bitches don't always cooperative". At the start of Let Down, he was singing verse three, stopped,everyone cheered and laughed, and he started again with verse one.

[@simonhills806]

Would love to see your reaction from Cherry coloured funk Cocteau Twins or something like Portishead live at Roseland.

[@aldo34]

Recommend The King of Limbs session from The Basement - really great

[@n.ringheim7720]

So this song from the basement is pretty close to the original albim version but if uou try "videotape", the daily mail or other songs from the basement, there is a big difference. Especially somgs from " the king of limbs"

Best live recording of all time. All the three guitars are there, it is so so so so much fun to see what they actually do!! I love it so much. It is actually Ed on the record too, for once 😉 Did you catch that Jonny is actually sampling live after the orangan par before feeding it out again. So cool.
