I'm not sure about the greatest or the most talented (there are LOTS of amazing musicians!), but he is my favorite and top 1, I love everything he does: Radiohead, AFP, The Smile, his solo works
He is a freemason so he is using Jewish mysticism, or black magic, which is in the kabalah at the heart of freemasonry. So, magic, yes. He exchanges a masonic handshake with Ross every time he appears on the show.
first time i heard this song, i cried my eyes out for no reason at all, and said to myself 'fuck, i need to learn to play the piano to play this song' and i did. this song to me is so deep, so transcendent, so meaningful. thom yorke is a fucking genius.
I know that most people who watch this are mesmerized by Thom's voice and playing (and they should be), but props must be given to the cameramen, sound engineers, lighting people, the producers of the Jonathan Ross Show, and whoever else helped contribute to this beautiful piece.
Good call. Ive never looked at anything but Thom and the piano. Ross and the production crew contributed heavily to one of my very favorite pieces of music ever
Came here after the YouNow today... Music is meant to be enjoyed, no matter what individual or what circumstance brought you to the piece. Appreciating a beautiful masterpiece is not a crime.
this comment needs a lot more appreciation. really sad that even though some of these comments are years old, they're still awfully negative and at the top of the comments despite that.
This. This is where my love for music began. 10 years later and I am still listening to this. I’m 20 that’s half my life listening to this beautiful rendition of an absolute masterpiece
I don't know who Dan is, but if he made a video that caused people to seek out Thom Yorke then I support him. I don't know why so many Radiohead/ Thom York fans are being dicks about this. So what if Dan fans came because of him? Why the fuck does it bother you? More Thom Yorke fans = good.
This version is absolutely brilliant. For me much better than the album version - you really hear the lyrics more. And for all those saying he has an average voice, are you serious? His voice is fucking sublime.
It's like night and day. This acoustic piano version has so much emotion and subtlety. The 'experimental' electronic version on the album is just a cluster-F of chaotic noise.
I saw this video as it was broadcast by pure chance but it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard. Complete transformation from the original version.
Factoid: Thom thinks his piano playing skills are crap, but while some of his playing is rather 'simplistic', he is able to bang out some stunning and timeless melodies. That's right, you don't need to be Beethoven to write a good song.
+Marleni Resendiz it really annoys me that people are fussing over who sent who here. Why does it even matter? I'm here just trying to listen to a song. Geshhh
One of the best live vocal performances I have ever heard from Thom Yorke. It shows that when he concentrates on singing rather than dancing he is still next level.
Actually, the anthem of the Phandom is now, again, Toxic by Britney Spears. They danced to it IN AN OFFICIAL VIDEO OFFICIALLY OMFG!!!!!! Sorry, my pheels exploded.. Anyway, Thinking Out Loud is still kind of an unoffical Phandom anthem now... Yeah
Man I just keep coming back to this one over and over and over. I've loved Thom (and Radiohead) for years and I honestly feel like this is his best performance of anything ever.
It's easy to assume this song is about a female person in Thom's life, (dandelions instantly make me imagine a child) but what if he's referring to another side of his own personality? What if he's comparing these sides of himself to illustrate just how he ends up in given situations for better or worse? The song itself looks at this 'ingenue' character so fondly, despite its whimsical nature... lovingly, and admiring the beauty of it. The music video for it shows this purposefully as well-two halves of a whole dancing *almost* in unison, who follows who? The chorus lyrics of this song are, in my opinion, some of the best lyrics Thom has ever written. 'Move through the moment, though it betrays' is so powerful... it's dancing, it's walking through a hallway.. it's smiling at a social event while your mind is elsewhere. I feel like Prince would have loved this song, as he always made the female characters in his songs the more decisive and in control forces. It's such an elegant reflection on life, and his metaphors are so incredibly potent here-placed behind such an original melody and structure, it elevates itself in my mind to genuine greatness. Thom's raw, emotional sincerity only augments the meaning here, through acceptance and being OKAY with it all. To me, this song is about admiring the part of yourself that can give up the past, force you to go forward and leave the rest behind; nothing lasts forever, come what may... we have to keep moving. It's pure poetry.. just my 2¢
Arguments and insults will forever exist on UA-cam comments... Oh we'll, meanwhile, I'd like to comment on how great thom yorke covers thom yorke. Brilliant. This song is beautiful and sublime And would be even if it was played on tin cans.
Some people like to like...others like to dislike. One or the other unfortunately... it's a shame because that really is life :(.... but we shall beat them... x
I was looking for my comment from 2013 when I first heard this song on the Jonathan Ross show all those 10 years ago but the scroll down is neverending. It was a beauty then, still a beauty today
Danyal Elia I'm more of an In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, OK Computer kind of guy. While I do think they're still great, and heads and tails above most bands out there, I'm not a huge fan of their current electronic style present in King of Limbs and AMOK (and The Eraser for the most part too). They can innovate and stuff, but I don't want them to stray too far from the rock element in their songs. With that said, this rendition of "Ingenue" (my favourite track off AMOK) is fokn' amazing.
Couldn't agree more, magijack! +1 It took me a good while to really start liking King of Limbs but...it happened...like I knew it would and I now really love it. I have to admit there are still two or three songs in the first half of the album that I don't "love" but the rest are just very, very good.
Holy shit. I love how all Dan's fans are like "don't hate us". I can bet both my hands that right after Dan played it, the comments here were filled with "Am I the only one from Dan????", "Dan brought me here!". Understand, people aren't mad because you are from Dan, they are mad beacuse you're making pointless spam that no one cares about.
Okay first of all why would I lie about such an insignificant dumb thing? Second of all you can call me a liar but I don't even know who Thom Yorke IS let alone any of his songs. Maybe I commented on the wrong thing, maybe you're just a bitch. Whatever the case may be, it's none of your damn business where I found this song. Worry about your own problems, mkay?
Thom has given us so much in his lifetime, much more than I think he realizes. Our only curse is knowing there is no measure of gratitude great enough to thank him. All we can do is preserve the beautiful legacy to which he has carved himself.
I’ve run out of words to express my awe every single time this man transforms his own most eclectic songs into something like this. Every time I’m blown away like dandelion seeds.
You know like the back of your hand who let em in You got me into this mess so you get me out. You know like the back of your hand Your bell jar. Your collection. Ingenue. You get me into this mess. Fools rushing in, yeah, and they know it. The seeds of the dandelion you know blow away. In good time, i hope, i pray. If i'm not there now physically, i'm always before you come what may. And you know it. Fools rushing in yeah well you know it. who let them in? yeah well you know it gone with a touch of your hand gone with a touch of your hand move through the moment though it betrays transformations jackals and flames if i knew now what i knew then just give me more time i hope and pray i mistake all you say the seeds of the dandelion you blow away
LJ this song was made before she passed away but I think the song talks about their inminent divorce that happened months after the song if I remember correctly
Friends, we have all been brought to this beautiful music by different people, groups and reasons. Why can't we just live together in harmony? Listen, if you're a radio head, that's cool, if you're a Phan, then welcome. It's not like we aren't less of a viewer or person than you are. We like the song. We recognize Thom for performing it. We are not trying to dishonor him or give all the credit to Dan, but it is he who spread word to us that this existed.
I don't think it's a bad thing that Dan sent us here. We obviously enjoyed his cover and after all, it does mean more fans of this song and artist. It's not like we're hating or anything jeez calm down
+phoebe greaves It's more the fact that you have to announce your presence, why not just enjoy the music without having to mention that Dan brought you here?
This song makes me feel like I've lived a thousand lives and all the experiences I had are ripping me apart. That's what true art does to you. It gives you a deeper feeling of existence.
Danyul was playing this song on a piano and I thought it was a good song so I came here to listen to it. Please don't be mad that Phangirls are here, we just wanna listen to the music! He didn't sent us here purposely we chose to come here.
Imagine writing this song the day your mother passed away ... The lyrics take on a whole new meaning ... It is a son who "tells" his birth to his mother.
Thom is able to dance around our current barrier in understanding oursleves and our limits of perception. He is delivering the bleeding edge of being able to vocalise the end of our ability to describe the daunting task of admitting to ourselves we know absolutely nothing and to just listen again.
as a radiohead fan. I wish I didn't have to scroll through two thousand comments about dan or anything associated with the topic, just to actually get to an intellectual comment about the intricacies of this lovely song. please would love for some to continue this chain on topic about this song. and not why u r here.
yeah honestly Dan's fans just saw his cover and were curious about the song so they searched it up and found this video if it really causes you pain to see people talking about dan in the comments just watch the video itself you don't need to read the comments
Hey, we liked his cover, and wanted to hear the song, if you have a problem with people saying that Dan brought them here, AND THEY ACTUALLY LIKE THE SONG then go fuck a pickle
i keep coming back to this video a lot, especially when i feel sick and sad. sometimes i feel better after hearing thom sing, maybe it's a placebo but i genuinely do feel better after
MrPyroclasm Dan is a fairly popular UA-camr. His channel name is Daniel Howell. He covered this song a few times on livestreams. Personally for me, I thought it was pretty and looked it up. I then listened to this song and fell in love with both versions. Unfortunately, people are offended from others listening to a different version first rather than the original. Hope this helps! ☺
+ibrahim aslan Danisnotonfire. He played a little bit of this song in one of his videos. (Or actually in his friends video. It's in the video : A festive day in the life of Dan and phil, around 18mins.)
To anyone from the Phandom: You know how Dan has a high-pitched voice when he sings? It's not quite like Thom's but still somewhat similar. i can literally picture him singing this when he can't sleep at midnight and being all peaceful and happy inside. and i cry.
Just here for my weekly listen to this, ten years on
You still listening?
This stripped down version really hits me hard.
Micah Buzan I can relate
isn’t it phenomenal..
This version is in the top 5 songs that make me cry due to its beauty and honesty and boy o boy it does hit me in the feels indeed ...
Yeah it’s easier to look over how pretty the song is in the other version
I haven't found any sheet music that's the same as the studio version to match the synth lead(?). That version hits the hardest for me.
The greatest musician of our time. Nothing gets even close to the sophistication he is able to pull in the notes he plays.
I'm not sure about the greatest or the most talented (there are LOTS of amazing musicians!), but he is my favorite and top 1, I love everything he does: Radiohead, AFP, The Smile, his solo works
Probably top 5 for sure.
Commented 7 years ago on this. Still regular listening and still considering it one of the greatest live performances ever
7 Years? That's funny because the melody actually sounds like Lukas Graham's song "7 Years" :)
Who conveniently ripped off Thom by sneaky use of time travel. @@itsNexusView
Thom Yorke is one of the greatest musicians of the century
Man's an absolute magician. Different level.
Archie Dennis magician?
Sorcerer
Wizard
He is a freemason so he is using Jewish mysticism, or black magic, which is in the kabalah at the heart of freemasonry.
So, magic, yes.
He exchanges a masonic handshake with Ross every time he appears on the show.
@@emmaarsenault1098 Yes.
Thom yorke shows us that a crowd can be silent
Thank goodness. Makes this much nicer to listen to.
Or good recording equipment :)
The first time I heard that song I cried
So beautiful
I know; I wish I had been there, don’t you?
This song and version is just pure perfection.
I want to hear the ENTIRE album on piano. PLEASE.
That would be nice. Or just the Electric Lady studios versions on Vinyl/CD
ThiefOfNavarre tell me more kind avatar of polite UA-cam
I am 😀
I just imagined "unless" on piano. That would be weird but i want to see it.
seek out Alex Franklin

Wish I could give this comment a million likes.
this comment needs a lot more appreciation. really sad that even though some of these comments are years old, they're still awfully negative and at the top of the comments despite that.
Preach
Thank you Dan for directing me to this beautiful song. I am now going to go and learn to play it.
it's actually not that hard tbh
Yep I've already learnt it :D
I'm trying to learn it too (thanks to dan). It's such a beautiful song!
:OOO please tell me how did you learn it!! you looked a tutorial on youtube??
Yep :) Look up Thom Yorke Ingenue piano tutorial and go on the one by drawboy6x3 (first one i think)
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
This. This is where my love for music began. 10 years later and I am still listening to this. I’m 20 that’s half my life listening to this beautiful rendition of an absolute masterpiece
Been crying to this song for 6 years now

More Thom Yorke fans = good.
YOU. I LIKE YOU. THANK YOU.
+Damian Louden I feel like this video needed this comment, thanks
+Damian Louden i hope you know that the phandom loves you now. and yes this guy named dan howell played this in a few videos and it sounds beautifu
+Damian Louden I think the thing that bothers me, is they keep on going on about Dan...
+David James Brown I think the thing that bothers me is that you keep talking about us going on about it
This version is absolutely brilliant. For me much better than the album version - you really hear the lyrics more. And for all those saying he has an average voice, are you serious? His voice is fucking sublime.
who the fuck says he has an average voice? Some people I know find him a bit whiny but definitely not average
It's like night and day. This acoustic piano version has so much emotion and subtlety. The 'experimental' electronic version on the album is just a cluster-F of chaotic noise.
YES!
His voice and the way it moves me is something I don’t think I’ve felt before and I’m 61. He is so beautiful…a sensitive soul, good good heart 💜
Who on earth said he had an average voice?!
I’m lonely and sad with my life. But Thom puts me at ease.
years later, this performance still speaks to my heart, what a gorgeous song
One of those songs that just makes your eyes water.
THOM YORKE YOU ARE A GENIUS YOU SAVED MY LIFE
My dad used to play this on the piano to get me to sleep. This song has a lot of good memories.
You must be like 5 then?
+The2011Collector HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
The2011Collector that or someone who cant sleep well but then again good point lol
Magdalena Ullo what an amazing father. You're very lucky.
He is a living legend
Great. You jinxed it. Now he's gonna die some day. Nice goin'
His voice gets better and better as he ages. It's like a good wine.
There must be something beautiful in the world when Thom sings.
I saw this video as it was broadcast by pure chance but it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard. Complete transformation from the original version.
100% 🙌
Thom Yorke's one of those people I would marry purely for their insane musical talent
He's also wicked fine
he also has a good heart ❤️
sexiest rat lookin muthafcka ever. and that's because of his talent.. and heart.. and mind.. genius !!!
Haha that's exactly what I think, every time I see Thom with his younger wife. I'm always like damn girl, I feel ya
I cannot hear this song just once, I must repeat it at least a couple times. It's ridiculously beautiful
Jesus...so freaking talented. Just Beautiful.
Another glimpse into what makes his songs so great... behind the intricate facade, the structure/ scaffolding is strong.
Thanks Thom for helping us get through life
Thank you to Dan for directing me to this masterpiece
Same! I was entranced when he played it on younow :)
Me too! he's so much better than what he gives himself credit for
i thought i was the only one...
Omg yes I missed the actual broadcast but I saw it on danisnotonfirevyou and omg I'm gonna learn it
Omg yes the same. He played it so good in his show and it's a beautiful song x
Factoid: Thom thinks his piano playing skills are crap, but while some of his playing is rather 'simplistic', he is able to bang out some stunning and timeless melodies. That's right, you don't need to be Beethoven to write a good song.
"I'm just a shit piano player" (actual quote)
...proceeds to write Everything In Its Right Place, Like Spinning Plates etc.
write*
You don't need a lot of skill to play EIIRP and LSP.
Kim Philipp Möllgaard Fair enough, but writing them is impressive.
yeah, but isn't like spinning plates (live) pretty difficult to play and sing at the same time? lol
I'm here because I have listened to Radiohead and Thom my entire life
I'm here because.....NO ONE CARESSSSS

No, it was Dan wasn't it
I learned it on piano because DAN inspired me lol
megan graham omg same
Giorgi Sabashvili I came because of dan, but now i LOVE Thom yorke XD
One of the best live vocal performances I have ever heard from Thom Yorke. It shows that when he concentrates on singing rather than dancing he is still next level.
The phan anthem
chloepenguins Nope now it's Thinking Out Loud because they danced to it with each other..
chloepenguins I think it destroyed all our pheels honestly :3
Actually, the anthem of the Phandom is now, again, Toxic by Britney Spears. They danced to it IN AN OFFICIAL VIDEO OFFICIALLY OMFG!!!!!! Sorry, my pheels exploded.. Anyway, Thinking Out Loud is still kind of an unoffical Phandom anthem now... Yeah
Man I just keep coming back to this one over and over and over. I've loved Thom (and Radiohead) for years and I honestly feel like this is his best performance of anything ever.
this is hauntingly beautiful and makes me cry every time i listen to it
I literally have goosebumps after listening to this. Thom's voice is just so chillingly beautiful.
Years later and I wouldn’t be listening to this masterpiece if it wasn’t for Dan. Thank you Dan for bringing me here and thank you Thom for this...
• SuperWhøLøck • yeah, i agree. I'm not into Dan and Phil anymore but they brought me some good music to listen to

Its just how people are. They like to make themselves feel superior to everyone else. They just cant listen and enjoy the beautiful music.

Kathleen Kitty please stop people are already mad. Cant you read? Stop commenting about this dan dude
Lmao the pun at the end would be Dan and Phil approved
This song, and this performance, is a thing of pure beauty.
man, my parents played me radiohead as a kid and this brings me back. he's such a talented musician.
The song is so calming, it's so pretty
I wasn't sent here by Dan, but man, am I glad I stumbled across it! Brilliant version of this song.
everything that comes out of this mans mind is brilliant and so honest, hauntingly beautiful.
Imagine writing this song the day your mother passed away ...
The lyrics take on a whole new meaning ...
It is a son who "tells" his birth to his mother.
Thom is able to dance around our current barrier in understanding oursleves and our limits of perception. He is delivering the bleeding edge of being able to vocalise the end of our ability to describe the daunting task of admitting to ourselves we know absolutely nothing and to just listen again.
as a radiohead fan. I wish I didn't have to scroll through two thousand comments about dan or anything associated with the topic, just to actually get to an intellectual comment about the intricacies of this lovely song. please would love for some to continue this chain on topic about this song. and not why u r here.
It doesn't really matter we just liked his cover so we wanted to see the actual song. We aren't hating, if anything we are saying we like the song.
yeah honestly Dan's fans just saw his cover and were curious about the song so they searched it up and found this video if it really causes you pain to see people talking about dan in the comments just watch the video itself you don't need to read the comments
Totally Samantha Cake. You are evidently one of those Dan fans.
Hey, we liked his cover, and wanted to hear the song, if you have a problem with people saying that Dan brought them here, AND THEY ACTUALLY LIKE THE SONG then go fuck a pickle
Gotta agree with ya Joe.
Comes a point you only want people who are mesmerised by Thom's genius.
When trying to sing songs of this guy, it's like a star in the sky, you think you can reach it but it'll never happen.
i keep coming back to this video a lot, especially when i feel sick and sad. sometimes i feel better after hearing thom sing, maybe it's a placebo but i genuinely do feel better after
Thom Yorke.
Not Dan.
I don't know who Dan is, might be great but I don't know.
Thom Yorke I love you.
I love YOU, for being one of the few comments in between all this Dan sheepery.
MrPyroclasm Dan is a fairly popular UA-camr. His channel name is Daniel Howell. He covered this song a few times on livestreams. Personally for me, I thought it was pretty and looked it up. I then listened to this song and fell in love with both versions. Unfortunately, people are offended from others listening to a different version first rather than the original. Hope this helps! ☺
MrPyroclasm dan is a UA-camr that plays piano and he played this song in a few different live streams and vids so people came here from him
Dan is a shit mate...I love Thom too!!!
Dan's dead!
I'm so happy that I found this song. Thank you dan
Came from Dan. Stayed for Thom. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of music (or at least this version of it)
I'm coming just to say that ingenue it's at this version timeless unique piece of music. light for the soul.
This is the best performance by Thom Yorke ever
That outro gave me CHILLS
Thanks Daniel :)

Yes
OH YES I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE
+UA-camrKittyCat who the fuck is daniel?!
+ibrahim aslan Danisnotonfire. He played a little bit of this song in one of his videos. (Or actually in his friends video. It's in the video : A festive day in the life of Dan and phil, around 18mins.)
To anyone from the Phandom:
You know how Dan has a high-pitched voice when he sings? It's not quite like Thom's but still somewhat similar. i can literally picture him singing this when he can't sleep at midnight and being all peaceful and happy inside. and i cry.
WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME??... I mean... it's just dust in my eye... yup...
And Phil listening to him through the walls
omg why why why. I can't handle that! Or when he plays this for Phil with singing to him...
No one gave you permission to do that to my emotions ;~;
The tears flow
