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.
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.
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.
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.....
@@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.
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!
@@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
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.
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
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!!😁👍
Magnífico como mantiene el control del aire, yo me estoy aprendiendo la canción pero de pronto a veces me quedo sin aire XD me falta controlar más el falsete
You gotta have some serious guts to choose this song of all songs to cover. Pyramid Song is an absolute masterpiece and not to be approached lightly. Difficult on so many levels.
Even before watching the video I am giving this guy a compliment for having the balls to sing this incredibly difficult song.
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.
Azure Pai it is actually pretty asy song
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.
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.
His percussion background definitely benefited him here. This time signature is quite counterintuitive.
Never thought a song from Amnesiac would make it onto The Voice lmao.
Amnesiac is super underrated, I adore that record
Smoore exactly !
Jacob Drenick imagine dollars and cents on the voice lmao
Me too
Can’t wait to hear someone cover Hunting Bears at some point
lol that one guy pressed it too quick, Radiohead fans alert
Shadow47 he's a very good musician himself. you should check him out
name?
Akash Agrahari Sondre Lerche
Nah, I he just new it isn´t an easy song.
Nope.... I'd say he was impressed by the way he pulled off the vocals intro with the syncopated piano.
wow it takes talent and balls of steel to audition with Pyramid Song
The faces on those judges look like every radiohead fan, ever
You described me exactly. Critically analysing the song.
Wow didnt know Phil Selway could sing and play piano as well
Right 😂
Also. Thom is one of the judges
Lmao literally
Props to anyone who can keep that rhythm while singing! (try tapping your foot to the piano rhythm)
Tim Peterson
For me tapping with the foot it's almost easy. Singing it is impossible to me lmao.
Its 4/4 btw easiest time signature
@@bruhwastaken3156 it's the note positioning that makes it difficult
levelUp yeah its just radiohead over complicating things
@@bruhwastaken3156 I think it's probably a bit unfair to call it overcomplication though
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.
Agreed 100%
Matt Floyd yeah that a really hard thing to do singing thom york ... that was really good i think :)
That's because there is only one thom York and one radio head.
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.
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...
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.
@@stephenfw and it makes a pyramid
it's 4/4. The drummer just needs to ignore the piano. :)
The rhythm is a swing pattern. Not widely used in pop music
All I know is I cry when I hear it. It is a very powerfu song
we had him as our musician teacher last year :)
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.....
Michael Stipe
+RatsinHeaven are you that guy from the cure?
It would take less time to Google ''R.E.M.'' than to write ''....shit, his name escapes me at the moment.....''
@@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.
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.
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 Thank you? I guess...
@@rayaqin were you like... super high when you wrote that?
@@SkinsFirstGeneration no, I just think this cover is abysmal and tried to express that without being too rude
wow vin diesal does a good radiohead cover
He did it for family

The song arrangement is far from simple. It's mind blowing and complex. Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/P8aSFj6zdx0/v-deo.html
That smile Tor gets at the end melts my heart! Such a genuine and beautiful smile! :)
One of the Best auditions ever in the whole world
I bet you right
Impressed he even did this song, more impressed he managed to keep in time with the distraction of the judges turning around.
Judge #1 hit his button right on the beat, you can see him counting it off.
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
I cried when I heard that. Who would ever try that Radiohead song? and it was perfect!
Sure, let's go to the audition and nail the most difficult song in the world!
Da fuq is this song doing on The Voice?
:d
Hanging around
Cookie Corner hahahaha good one!
I was thinking the same then I saw the word "Norde" and got it. Everything is possible in Norway
Glad it is, I like it better than the original
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
Omg, I love when he's smile. Is very beautiful, a fabulous cover!
He truly has the power of Thor.
What a difficult yet beautiful song.
Sondre knows his stuff.
По моему лучшая песня Radiohead. Исполнение на высоте.
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!!😁👍
This is the alternate reality I want to live in.
What a performance. I wish there was a full version.
I listene to this once a year, and everytime it blows me away!
Heftigste musikklærer jeg har hatt🎉❤
Omg amazing rendition!!
I can't believe that this song is in place like this xD
Just amazing!
This is a great song to choose as it always brings out emotion.
This dude is awesome!
Great song and great performance
Badass. Playing the piano too. Not easy.
Awesome cover !
great performance, bravo!
I was just happy to see a song I love and then WOW he did such an amazing job!!!! I love you, random guy
Daring song choice! And an excellent execution of it! I love the smile on his face at the end.
What a beast love pyramid song
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
Amazing!
Genio!! Que tema hiciste!!
Fekk heilt sjokk når eg såg gamle musikklæreren min på TV :D Fantastisk!
Thanks Tor.
He is so happy ❤❤😍😍😍
The man has got a beautiful smile . God bless him 😀😀😀

Radiohead just amazing!
El trance de la vida hacia la muerte... preciosa canción de radiohead
Omgggggggg yassssss love this song
Goosebumps
Great voice
Quite brilliant.
Intro Amazing!
This is an excellent cover. :)
My faworite one wich ı am listning maybe 1000 times.
Magnífico como mantiene el control del aire, yo me estoy aprendiendo la canción pero de pronto a veces me quedo sin aire XD me falta controlar más el falsete
It was a masterpiece, thanks for that
This is so Amazing! ♤
The first time I hear this song was when I spent my first night with my girlfriend.
It's a very special mood for me
the best cover ever
This couldn't be more exquisite if it'd been choreographed.
Hella good performance
sometimes i wish i can like a video more than once
Han er så søt på slutten når DET gliset kommer frem!
what a cover mann
It makes me happy when someone covers a Radiohead or Bob Dylan song 🤗
Very very gooood
I wish I could sing it like this
Judges look so satisfied.
Helt utrolig! Thom York would be proud!
what a gutsy guy to play this song on the voice.
Sondre brukte ikke mange sekundene på å gjennkjenne kvalitet der gitt.
my teacher in music, for real :)
You gotta have some serious guts to choose this song of all songs to cover. Pyramid Song is an absolute masterpiece and not to be approached lightly. Difficult on so many levels.
Underrated Song
Whoa nice job
i dont know why, i started crying
radiohead tiene ese don
de poder ponerte la piel heriza
this guy really know how to sing this sing with that duration
Winner!
My guy in the jury recognised Radiohead within first four seconds
No había una más difícil pela? Muy bueno
Magick of Radiohead..
when he looked up it was the cutest thing ive ever seen
Such a different choice!!!
Radiohead is so fucking increadible amazing .
what a cover:) nice
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
Woooow
Top
It was all going pretty well until the last 20 seconds. Why did he suddenly go high pitched?
+Richard Twine doing some high pitch shit like that seems to be a prerequisite to participate in these kinds of shows
+Richard Twine Justin Timberlake out of nowhere!
because he's trying to show his range more than doing a perfect cover
because you were under the piano, doing things.
I have to give some credit to the band aswell. Especially the drummer :)
He is good.
Tor er den beste læreren ever!!
