Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood - Give Up The Ghost

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, 2011

[@amandavanderzee3579]

No matter where I am in life, if I need music therapy, Thom and Radiohead are always my go - to. They never fail to make me feel more at peace.

[@naturethebest]

Same with me. They help me a lot to cope with depression and neuroses, real therapy for me, I just enjoy their music.

[@punkgrl32]

I feel the exact same way. I’ve been a little stressed this month, and Radiohead’s music always brings me peace. And if it’s not Radiohead, it’s adjacent to Radiohead, i.e. The Smile, Thom Yorke, Atoms For Peace, etc.

[@robvp71]

now this is how you creatively use a repeat pedal.. the harmonies work over all chords.. incredibly smart these guys!

[@jasonspurs]

If you saw Joesph Arthur he did this has well use the pedal.

[@efrenfontecha3580]

No band comes Close to these geniuses

[@ibodhidogma]

And that's not even hyperbole. It's just stating a fact.

[@jherman89]

One of my favorite things is how they can create multiple arrangements for a single song, depending on which members or instruments are available. Keeps performances alive and spontaneous, and never feels too sparse or minimal with just these two.

[@jherman89]

@@ralph9182 This one is similar to the studio version, minus the sound effects. Haven't listened to all other performances.

[@awolf007]

Really, really well executed performance of this magical tune. Insert this song into any introspective moment in your life and feel it.

Look at Jonny, wearing a button up shirt and a sportcoat! I’m so used to seeing him in a t-shirt that says something like “Lifeguard” that this was genuinelty surprising

This album was the first to come out during my time as a fan. I was a senior in highschool 2011. Only in 2009 did I become a fan- first with The Bends, then onward through the discography

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Such an underrated album

[@seamishmusic]

yes. It truly is.

[@yogevnir8721]

Correct!! Most of the people just in the same path..herd...

Yes, it absolutely is.

[@santicarbajal3927]

Thanks for titling it appropiately. Radiohead is Thom, Jonny, Colin, Ed, and Phil (+ Clive if you wish), not only Thom and Jonny.

[@Will-bx5wo]

ok but like, this is a radiohead song played by two members of radiohead

[@limonerodelpatio]

Como extraño esas épocas de Radiohead

[@Konspirantas]

Hey Daniel, been a while, a wild one I bet

[@leovlogslife]

I sincerely hope Thom and Jonny haven't moved onto The Smile to give up the ghost on another Radiohead album. Hopefully all the members will come back one day, and don't instead perceive Radiohead as a band of which it is now better to just preserve its legacy. Thoughts?

[@max_435]

The Smile is just a progression and evolution of Radiohead and Thom I feel. It’s obvious that sonically the guys have kind of transcended Radiohead and have moved far beyond their early roots.I think it’s all a lot of Sentimentality for this need for the Radiohead name to be on the next project. Why cant The Smile be that. The music is amazing

[@p4rano1d]

@@max_435 I disagree. The Smile is more of an outlet for Thom and Jonny to express some of their ideas without being confined to the expectations of 'Radiohead'. Another album is certainly on the way, probably around 2026/2027. Admittedly, that could well be their last.

I m not fcking the ghost, but there are many who are. Those refuse to die. Those don't give up the ghost nd have used the ghost for themselves and use it to poison others. Not a holy ghost but a walkman headphones

Is this phrase correct: "don't haunt me, don't hurt me..."?

[@stephane2347]

That's always what I thought he said personally.

That seems to be written by google lyrics but i thought he was singing "don't haunt me,don't hurt me"

[@baxter.baxter.]

[@ectoplasma5]

Maybe Johnny is sucking all his lifeforce out of him to stay young. Like the portrait of Dorian gray.

​@@baxter.baxter. you can see In Rainbows In Basement in 2008 and The King Of Limbs In Basement in 2011, from this time Thom has aged quite suddenly.

[@antiochiaadtaurum3786]

I think this is the beginning of the phase where Thom Yorke thinks he's great I really don't like that song either. It's way too beta

[@aperturius]

What the fuck do you mean by 'beta?' The only time I hear that word these days is when incels talk about 'beta cucks' and I hope that's not where we're going here.

[@nkb09]

Im sorry and no disrespect to those who enjoy this, but this is boring. I'm not the kind of person who's like, 'there's more exciting things now.' I'm not the type you can reply to angrily or condescendingly, like 'they already did more math rock-like stuff on their album or movie soundtracks'. And I know, nowadays there's so much resampling and shit, and the simple message of this performance is what's worth getting bored of. I think I covered most of the angry bullshit in comments, but really, it's bland, uninspired, and boring shit. Spinetta died doing interesting stuff; age and getting old is by no means an equivalence to being boring, uninspired, bland, and musically dull.

[@hike3037]

It's just not for you lol

[@Modus888-if9yj]

It’s actually very good

[@JimmyKlef]

It’s fantastic to those who like it. Like any other art. Its on you to listen to what you like. An artist doesn’t have an obligation to please anyone.
