No wonder Jonny Greenwood has what looks like repetitive strain injury on his strumming arm, he’s like a human metronome in this.👍 Beautiful haunting song.
This is incredible man!! Ive been looking for this exactly for years. Thank you so muchh! btw the last chord strummed is A minor with the high E open not with the G note on 3rd fret as displayed in the tab
ty sm! i was looking for this and this suddenly came in my reccomended! for future videos like this maybe u can transcribe some live performances of paranoid android and/or fake plastic trees
this is so good, bless you. would you be capable of doing it with present tense? ive been trying for weeks to get it but its too difficult for me (im an autodidact that started a few years ago but lacks the theory)
Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow And fade out again and fade out This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again And fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see its beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow And fade out again And fade out again Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love
I'm too used to seeing performances where Jonny is, like, crouched and folded in half as he fiddles with nobs and switches on the floor while bobbing his head to the music. Seeing him just look like a semi-normal dude playing a guitar is almost jarring lol
Thom Yorke: "'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it. It wrote itself. We were just its messengers. It's biological catalysts. "It's core is a complete mystery to me. I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve - 'Street Spirit' has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. "I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it. I'd crack. I'd break down on stage. That's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together. That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion. I'd crack. "Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the f--king devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh. "The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack. "It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart." "I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much... I didn't write that song.
Shoutout to the guy who gave Jonny a mic
4:53 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thom's voice and vocal performance in this is absolute perfection!!😮😮

It was because of his aggresive down strumming during this era
@@AssNutz no im not
@@AssNutz shut up assnutz
The crunching guitar part in Creep is caused by Jonny hitting the strings abruptly with the arm cover. That's why he wears it.
@@tsoiboy4073 no its not lol you just completely made this up
What a performance of this incredible song.
Absolutely astounding
The voice....

Absolute goosebumps !
OMG, I've seen this too many times, and I just realized Thom is playing a 12-string guitar. That's part of the reason for such a beautiful sound!
ty sm! i was looking for this and this suddenly came in my reccomended! for future videos like this maybe u can transcribe some live performances of paranoid android and/or fake plastic trees
Thanks man. Just learned street spirit a day ago from 365guitarlessons and seeing the tabs makes it easier. Much appreciated!
Hey, me too!!!! :)
I am a harsh critic if modern popular music to say the least. But this is literally magic.
@@AssNutz his control is remarkable
you're the best man! thanks a lot!

this is so good, bless you. would you be capable of doing it with present tense? ive been trying for weeks to get it but its too difficult for me (im an autodidact that started a few years ago but lacks the theory)
@@AssNutz hahaha no worries man! take care ^^
I don’t understand how they don’t mess up once lol
wow Thom really belted that out... amazing how long he can go on for with one breath does he have a hidden third nostril? :D
I swear he's somehow underrated. I know, they eyes roll across the hills....but seriously.
Lungs the size of Oklahoma.
Do you have something like this for his acoustic version of Knives out?

Абсолютно гениально
😎🎶🇵🇪👍
Rows of houses
all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands
touching me
All these things into position
All these things
we'll one day swallow
And fade out again
and fade out
This machine will,
will not communicate
These thoughts
and the strain
I am under
Be a world child,
form a circle
Before we all
go under
And fade out again
And fade out again
Cracked eggs,
dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death,
can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things
we'll one day swallow
And fade out again
And fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

No doubt, he should be under the stool or behind the guitar amp at least 🤣
Kinda rude not to bring Ed in for this set considering he wrote the riff for this song.

@@AssNutz that’s a pretty cool quote but I was being silly. 🙃
@@MightyPinecone lol, that's cool. I'd read that quote before and I was curious about who actually did write it. According to Thom apparently no one 🤣
