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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
Wow so much hate in this comment section. So what we came here from Dan? You don't need to insert the fact that "yOu LiKeD tHiS sOnG BeFoRe iT wAs CoOl" This is a great song and a majority of the people saying they came from Dan are also saying it's a great song so basically you like a song we like a song but we just happened to come from one guy. So why is everyone being so rude? Can't we appreciate the music together?
Twenty One Phans Exactly. I just don't understand why people are so triggered about it. I do understand that a lot of people are saying that they came because they heard Dan playing it, and it can get annoying to see so many comments about the same thing(some of them are actually so cringy oh god) but there's no need to be rude. He brought us here because we liked what we heard, and we like the song. It's beautiful. And that's what matters. People honestly should find their chill and respect others a bit more.

Username 666 We are flooding the comments because we think it's cool how one person gathered thousands of people to one beautiful song and i don't know why you feel the need to be rude because we both like this song and the only difference is that some people came from Dan. If you don't like people saying they came from Dan just don't look at the comments. It's not madatory to read the comments to watch the video. Have a good day.
PrimevalSeriesSixFic dude why the fuck are you being so rude? Did anyone insult you? Did anyone do anything to you? Why are you so fucking triggered? Chill, for God's sake.
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
You know like the back of your hand Who let 'em in?

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! ☺
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¢
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.
I watched this live on Jonathan Ross, and it left me so astonished i muted the TV and just sat there waiting for the +1 to watch it again. Strange to think its been nearly 5 years...
I don't care if you came here for Dan, if you knew this song before Dan played it or if you hate Dan (which is ridiculous because he made the song more popular) lets just appreciate the beauty of this for a moment, it's just wonderful. Just listen with you eyes closed and stop thinking...
fools? aka people who got directed here form someone else, and have grown to love this song and Thom's other music? or those who reply to them acting like they don't belong here even though they now like his music? If there was some kinda joke i missed, someone please tell me.

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 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
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
Thom Yorke is one of the greatest musicians of the century
I'm here because I have listened to Radiohead and Thom my entire life
I'm here because.....NO ONE CARESSSSS
+Marleni Resendiz ... about your comment.... lol
Please care about yourself.
+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

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
Absolutley. They gave the song what it deserved. Aren't people amazing!
i found this song by da...
i mean my own music taste and love of thom yorke
Glad I'm not the only one.
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
Thom Yorke brought me here

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

He is a freemason so he is using Jewish mysticism, or black magic, which is in the kabalah at the heart of freemasonry.

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 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
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.

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?!
Just here for my weekly listen to this, ten years on
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?

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!

His voice gets better and better as he ages. It's like a good wine.

Thank you Dan for introducing me to this beautiful piece of music and this extremely talented artist. ~ a satisfied phandom member.
i heard this song live
one of the best nights of my life hands down
Okay I'm sure a lot of us are here because DAN but this song is amazing. I'm happy I found it.
Thanks Thom for helping us get through life
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¢
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 beautifully said Day
Well said
After I heard this song I knew I had to learn to play it and that was a year ago. Thank you for inspiring me ❤️
I was introduced to this song over Christmas 2020 when I listened to it for hours and hours. Thanks for the introduction Jacob, I love this version x
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.
Came from Dan. Stayed for Thom. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of music (or at least this version of it)
literally enchanted by Thom's unearthly voice , this song makes me cry 🖤

The song is just perfect
I watched this live on Jonathan Ross, and it left me so astonished i muted the TV and just sat there waiting for the +1 to watch it again. Strange to think its been nearly 5 years...
This piece of music is beautiful, one of the best songs I have ever heard. I thank you, Thom Yorke, for making such a touching song.
this is why god gave us ears…. just stunning, wow.
I was there!
Incredible
The way he says “Thanks” at the end.
everything that comes out of this mans mind is brilliant and so honest, hauntingly beautiful.
this version with the dance would be the best video on youtube :)
Probably top 25 best songs ever made in existence honestly
I don't care if you came here for Dan, if you knew this song before Dan played it or if you hate Dan (which is ridiculous because he made the song more popular) lets just appreciate the beauty of this for a moment, it's just wonderful. Just listen with you eyes closed and stop thinking...
Don't care what people are saying thank you Dan for making me discover a beautiful song ❤️✌🏻️
Fools are actually rushing in.
w8l7s Haha, that's the best comment so far :)
+w8l7s I laughed heartily at this, well done, sir!
fools? aka people who got directed here form someone else, and have grown to love this song and Thom's other music? or those who reply to them acting like they don't belong here even though they now like his music? If there was some kinda joke i missed, someone please tell me.
w8l7s with p90s towards B?
