In 1999 I survived a train crash in which 36 people died. No side effects (apart from a black eye), no flashbacks, no post-traumatic stress disorder. Just a feeling of indignant anger at the pointless carnage around me. In the next year I found this song inveigled itself into my consciousness. Particularly that line "I'm amazed that I survived ..." Yorke captured the weird, scratchy paranoia I felt really well.

[@scooter4849]

The Ladbroke Grove one?

[@diegoleylandia]

scooter4849 yes

[@tonyssweetbabygirl]

Thank you sharing your story, brought me to tears. I'm so glad you lived and found solace in this song. 💟

[@Fortunaatp]

tonyssweetbabygirl how did it bring you to tears? The comment showed a lack of emotion

[@mehdinadif]

+Alex Pack lack of emotion can be as dramatic as sentimentality. lots of books gain great effect from this, e.g. rabbit run

[@MiglFr]

One of the best rythm guitarist

[@peterd9781]

You're right, he is. That right hand is just so loose and he can pluck single strings so accurately without supporting it. He also changes at will his strumming patterns mid-song and sometimes you can see him rest for a bar or two and then just pick up again, off the beat. I can't think of anyone who can get a better and more layered sound from a guitar, using just a pick, whilst singing. You can tell from the way the his body moves too that he just has rhythm built into him.

[@AlejandroShredderDJ]

that was a very accurate description of his kind of playing the guitar, boss

[@mela3018]

‘Cause he’s also a drummer.

[@willashland4597]

Thom is literally glowing here like the celestial being that he is

[@nicedream1990]

I think Johnny takes a lot of the credit towards his guitar playing in Radiohead but Thom is also amazing, like others said this is sooo hard to play acoustic and for him to sing that flawlessly as well as play is incredible. He's my idol.

[@AlejandroShredderDJ]

agreed

[@lucasknutr]

not that hard tho

[@davidli1410]

Toni Delgado Abellan how to sing well

[@kmin494]

Watch the Pedal show with Ed O'Brien. They all are important for the final sound

[@paulmccarthy3107]

[@superwiicrazy]

u english people are so lucky to have radiohead and thom yorke performing live all the time

[@victor.yamaguchi]

His voice calm me down instantly, like a healing

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

I'm supposed to be doing homework right now but I can't stop watching these Radiohead/Thom Yorke videos. They give me goosebumps.

[@wongjason2450]

How's your homework?

[@scopeworth7781]

Did u finish the homework

[@dunno_504]

Loool, me too

[@antohall2007]

he makes it look oooooooooh so easy

[@rayaqin]

I've been trying to play this song for about a month .. It seems impossible to sing it and play it at the same time :/

[@revwrapz8279]

change down the notes at the change of line in the vocals youll see what i mean....each different sus chord......starts at the begining of a new vocal phrase .....youll find it easier to play .......also in the chorus change the chords to bars chords......B .....G and then full E chord is a simpler way to play the song :) hope this helps some how .....bless

[@alfalex38]

Watch 'Warren' 's tutorial; he's done a pretty good version where you can play it without too much difficulty.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

so interesting to hear this in acoustic form.

[@ComradeNu]

This is an absolutely brilliant rendition of an absolutely brilliant song. Thom Yorke... nuff said.

[@jaguar5251]

I have stated it before on other versions of this song, but it's easily my favorite Radiohead song. Thumbs up Thom! I hope you never stop playing this.

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

Thom would probably prefer that your thumbs stayed out of him.

[@patdevaney5407]

Thank you for being born Thom and giving the gift of your music to this world.

[@RegalEase]

MaggieBear, I can't thank you enough for recording this. Best version since OKC. Cheers!

[@101commentary]

This is one of the best versions of this song I have heard :) I love the acoustic version, so seamless. I know the word 'genius' gets thrown around a lot, but Thom Yorke is a musical genius, so amazing.

[@thegiaalencar2220]

These songs are giving me strength, cheering up my December, my end of the year ... what a fucked up year!Thank you!

[@oranjjjggg]

Great song. Giving thanks for your life every time you pass a stop light.

[@newyorkislanders4]

i hate that music stand in the way of his left hand :/

[@dwezil6225]

[@rinnin]

IKR?! 🤦‍♂️

[@OrangeySnicket]

You've always got the best fan recordings. Thank you!

[@ComradeNu]

I think this is my favorite version of this song... I'd kill for a studio quality version.

[@griffinphillips2532]

Absolutely beautiful...

[@relvingonzalez]

Ive noticed his vocals are better when he plays solo acoustic. AMAZING!

[@BennettIsAmazing]

Holy shitballs. We're so privileged to be able to watch this man and his band.

[@luth7050]

2:15 omg

[@iagolima6122]

I would have sold my kidney to have gone to this show

[@augustaoliva9739]

What a beautiful guitar 😍

[@michaelfeldman91]

Honestly, if there were a way to trade my life to have seen this show, I would have done it without the slighest bit of hesitation.

[@paranoidcomet]

This stripped-down version honestly made me appreciate this song more.

[@dethyprlps9020]

The talent on display here is breathtaking.

[@sudanbewaobdedebo]

Such a Prophet, with the voice of an angel

[@thewreckedup]

I want to see the crowd! such a good, responsible crowd, giving the man all the applause he deserves.

[@treefingers1206]

I've seen this song live. But Thom solo makes you appreciate the intricacy of the song. That's just him. Plus Jonny and Ed and Colin and Phil....that's why it's so great.

[@ekine694]

I’m in love with this man!!!

[@Conacostock]

That was just a brilliant acoustic rendition.

[@mickyhurd5394]

Keep coming back...he sets the standard does thom

[@MsTazza91]

Was right at the front, and I gota say, i'm really sad that camera's can't capture the actual essence of the music, it was amazing!!!!!! I'm glad that someone captured some good vids of the gig though, corn exchange! GO GREEN PARTY!!!!!

[@AmelieDemy]

How lucky you are to be able to see him and hear him sing live! I hope they decide to go on tour now with the King of Limbs and that they come to Greece as well!

[@swanthechosenone3975]

The way he sung the guitar solo is perfection 👌

[@copbabycombo1311]

He didn't

[@justinorville]

AWESOME version of an awesome song of an awesome album by the best band ever.

[@stantonh1452]

I don’t know what it is that is so great about this song, but it just is.

[@jrouby]

I couldn't imagine this song could be so intense played only with an acoustic guitar. And it is. Wonderful and I miss the words !

[@AlejandroShredderDJ]

one of the best versions

[@dunno_504]

He saved my life

[@goneAWOLagain]

The ending is especially beautiful. Thanks, Maggiebear!! I'm not so sad about missing the gig now :)

[@morwennaish]

This may be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed.

[@katenzcool]

Thom looks amazing

[@stefanysoares385]

[@sendratoj]

Holy shit, this video is amazing.

[@AKAtAGG]

How I wish I could see his hands so I could replicate this on my own guitar. I play it acoustically often but never as nice as this.

[@campopper]

He's great!

[@yeahyeahyaha2]

[@otemachi]

Great guitar playing here

[@cheeseboy777]

Damn that music stand, I want to see his left hand!! =)

[@FutureAbe]

Wonderful

[@MonolithFIJI]

Chills.

[@sammondroz6]

Does anyone know how he plays the solo at 2:18 while also playing chords????

[@leighstanley3039]

Sam Mondros he's playing the solo on the g string (insert gag) and the 'chords' is actually just A I think.... he's strumming the open A string and open B string which has been down tuned to A. That's how I play it anyway!

[@Thomasringpetersen]

You can’t do that song acoustic as Well as the recorded version. Okay yes Can💪

[@DiarmaidGNR]

great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@travroy]

I miss the OKC era. :(

[@lufc550]

Glad to see some hardcore thom yorke fans here.

[@mattboscan]

[@jjysoserious]

[@zebrahead32]

[@salad9226]

In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign scrolling up and down I am born again In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe
