The Voice Norge 2013 - Tor Kvammen - "Pyramid Song"

[@azurepai5916]

Even before watching the video I am giving this guy a compliment for having the balls to sing this incredibly difficult song.

[@MaqzTages]

I agree, the off tempo beat can throw off a lot of people, the fact he pulled it off quite smoothly is definitely something applause worthy.

[@thoru4367]

Azure Pai it is actually pretty asy song

[@britten6199]

Azure Pai me too! I try so hard and I can't even SING it in time, much less play piano and sing it in the same time.

[@Gottiinan]

He is a very very capable drummer and he has also done ALOT of backing vocals while playing drums, so i am not surprised he pulled this off so smoothly.

[@Sarah.Riedel]

His percussion background definitely benefited him here. This time signature is quite counterintuitive.

[@mirandamcclain6820]

Never thought a song from Amnesiac would make it onto The Voice lmao.

[@smoore3896]

Amnesiac is super underrated, I adore that record

[@mukulchakravarty9381]

Smoore exactly !

[@hihello-sx1sx]

Jacob Drenick imagine dollars and cents on the voice lmao

[@moudarsaab7111]

Me too

[@TSutton]

Can’t wait to hear someone cover Hunting Bears at some point

[@GabiGluck]

wow it takes talent and balls of steel to audition with Pyramid Song

[@Majikmurky108]

The faces on those judges look like every radiohead fan, ever

[@guhjjify]

You described me exactly. Critically analysing the song.

[@mijalyso]

Came here to say this, 8 years later.

[@NinjaShadow47]

lol that one guy pressed it too quick, Radiohead fans alert

[@dmrsk1899]

Shadow47 he's a very good musician himself. you should check him out

[@AkashAgrahari92]

name?

[@dmrsk1899]

Akash Agrahari Sondre Lerche

[@albertonasan]

Nah, I he just new it isn´t an easy song.

[@karmansingh1]

Nope.... I'd say he was impressed by the way he pulled off the vocals intro with the syncopated piano.

[@LeahandtheBanshees]

Wow...I love Radiohead so much, and when I hear covers I usually can't get into them... However this was so beautiful, and his darling Norwegian accent in it... beautiful.

[@streamvlogsdailyy]

Agreed 100%

[@Aniki82]

Matt Floyd yeah that a really hard thing to do singing thom york ... that was really good i think :)

[@syjutaj]

That's because there is only one thom York and one radio head.

[@tpete096]

Props to anyone who can keep that rhythm while singing! (try tapping your foot to the piano rhythm)

[@andrey4388]

Tim Peterson For me tapping with the foot it's almost easy. Singing it is impossible to me lmao.

[@bruhwastaken3156]

Its 4/4 btw easiest time signature

[@levelUpJosh_]

@@bruhwastaken3156 it's the note positioning that makes it difficult

[@bruhwastaken3156]

levelUp yeah its just radiohead over complicating things

[@levelUpJosh_]

@@bruhwastaken3156 I think it's probably a bit unfair to call it overcomplication though

[@chippchipp1]

This is easily my favorite RH song, and this cover is solid. Nothing beats the studio version of course, but this is very well done.

[@leonne07]

I beg to differ... Yorke's voice has a different timbre and subtlety, but this guy carries the song more powerfully than him. This is by far the best rendering of Pyramid Song ever!

[@rayaqin]

@@leonne07 you must be so different than me, I think if we would walk past each other we wouldn't see each other or be able to touch each other, because you are on a different dimension, a different plane of existence, your brain is wired so differently, your ears are so unlike mine that communication between us would be impossible I don't know how and why youtube created this channel of communication between us, or if you can even read what im typing, but this kind of distortion in reality is mindblowing

[@leonne07]

@@rayaqin Thank you? I guess...

[@SkinsFirstGeneration]

@@rayaqin were you like... super high when you wrote that?

[@rayaqin]

@@SkinsFirstGeneration no, I just think this cover is abysmal and tried to express that without being too rude

[@Jonathan-kx3hr]

we had him as our musician teacher last year :)

[@allyouneedislove62]

This is my favorite Radiohead song ever. He did a beautiful job....I love it. He reminds me of that R.E.M. dude....shit, his name escapes me at the moment.....

[@borohhh]

Michael Stipe

[@RobertSmith-df4vk]

+RatsinHeaven are you that guy from the cure?

[@grouchobono4500]

It would take less time to Google ''R.E.M.'' than to write ''....shit, his name escapes me at the moment.....''

[@allyouneedislove62]

@@grouchobono4500 That's true, but it hit me, his name is Michael Stipe. Only took a random reply from something I posted 5 years ago to get me to remember.

[@emilpr8119]

Wow didnt know Phil Selway could sing and play piano as well

[@diegomazzaron9191]

Right 😂

[@Blaatann53]

Also. Thom is one of the judges

[@RuthwikRao]

Lmao literally

[@ktnarnia]

I saw everyone complaining about the falsetto at the end... While I do agree that it doesn't fit the song, I think this is called "The Voice" and he was trying to show that he could hit more than just one note.

[@kyatorin]

That smile Tor gets at the end melts my heart! Such a genuine and beautiful smile! :)

[@frummel403]

I'm a big Radiohead fan and I still don't understand the rhythm and science behind this song.. I just know what it does to my soul...

[@stephenfw]

I’ve at last found out I can follow this syncopated rhythm as 3/4 plus 2/4 plus 3/4, for a total of 8 beats.

[@andrehalim885]

@@stephenfw and it makes a pyramid

[@cjmahoney]

it's 4/4. The drummer just needs to ignore the piano. :)

[@skumflum3768]

The rhythm is a swing pattern. Not widely used in pop music

[@tomlarnie2581]

All I know is I cry when I hear it. It is a very powerfu song

[@mr.c5125]

Looking at it, the song from its plain view is really simple yet ethereal in lyrics and arrangement, kudos to Radiohead for that. I think the song itself is already good, but it depends on the interpreter how he will give life to it. This man made it alive and he effectively told the story by using dynamics in every line of the song as if every line has varying gravity of meaning. I can feel his nerves but it seemed effortless. That alone is good enough. People might be turned off by the falsetto but IMO it's really outstanding since that line he sang, he really convinced me that there is REALLY nothing to fear. It was believable story-telling to me.

[@stroketheboat]

The song arrangement is far from simple. It's mind blowing and complex. Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnEhHmga9-XrpI

[@asderq234]

One of the Best auditions ever in the whole world

[@Bergkamp540]

I bet you right

[@javieraduque6011]

Omg, I love when he's smile. Is very beautiful, a fabulous cover!

[@joemoore5607]

I listene to this once a year, and everytime it blows me away!

[@sethr.c1065]

I would have pressed it when i heard the first chord. One of the best, most beautiful songs ever created, and as said, one of the most ballsy vocals

[@justincredible.]

Daring song choice! And an excellent execution of it! I love the smile on his face at the end.

[@janjaovulgodegas9486]

Exelente, minha música preferida do Radiohead. Muito profunda. Sem falar nas notas que parecem estar fora mas encaixam perfeitamente na melancólia. Realmente um belo cover

[@paulwfranklin1323]

Impressed he even did this song, more impressed he managed to keep in time with the distraction of the judges turning around.

[@fernandorobledo4477]

He practicado esa cancion mucho y con los registros vocales de este señor puede mejorar muchisimo su version...se nota que ha trabajado mucho para darle toda esa personalidad a esa cancion. Chapeau monstruo!!😁👍

[@ukstevey]

This is a great song to choose as it always brings out emotion.

[@nicepolice12]

wow vin diesal does a good radiohead cover

[@speedyonspeed]

He did it for family

[@tomlarnie2581]

I cried when I heard that. Who would ever try that Radiohead song? and it was perfect!

[@DylanDixon]

What a performance. I wish there was a full version.

I was just happy to see a song I love and then WOW he did such an amazing job!!!! I love you, random guy

[@stefantsarev4442]

He truly has the power of Thor. What a difficult yet beautiful song.

[@TheBandMan]

Judge #1 hit his button right on the beat, you can see him counting it off.

[@AndyGreasleyUk]

great performance, bravo!

[@demoliendohoteles_]

Great song and great performance

[@TheLovepools]

It's nice to see this kind of voice get recognition, as I think in US he would have a harder time getting the buttons pushed which is crazy to me

Just amazing!

@@frosty6960 I do really not. It's a good thing to have different opinions, by the way.

[@CorkScrewer]

That falsetto ruined your day huh? God forbid someone tries to add something cheerful to Radiohead's music, when it's being used on a game show predominantly meant for kids and teens....? Radiohead fans are so fucking miserable, if only the music was a little more depressing so you would actually off yourselves

[@Tecnoguru34]

Genio!! Que tema hiciste!!

what a gutsy guy to play this song on the voice.

Is it just me that noticed the two last jury’s don’t have a clew what the singer was singing ?

[@spacealienjesus709]

Magick of Radiohead..

[@LAWMinLancaster]

It was all going pretty well until the last 20 seconds. Why did he suddenly go high pitched?

[@joelcerqueira5867]

+Richard Twine doing some high pitch shit like that seems to be a prerequisite to participate in these kinds of shows

[@tyskstil]

+Richard Twine Justin Timberlake out of nowhere!

[@kylek7748]

because he's trying to show his range more than doing a perfect cover

[@fallat1sthurdle]

because you were under the piano, doing things.
