I love how “it all ends up drivel one day” and “one day I am gonna grow wings” use the same “one day”; the nape of my neck bristles with gooseflesh every time 🥰
He has a lot of lyrics over the years from his various projects and bands where he talks about growing wings r having wings. It’s such a profound lyric in his songs and has such strong connotations that can be taken numerous ways. His song with Burial with the lyrics “touch on both our wings” (something like that) idk it gives me chills. Sorry if this is TMI but I was at this concert btw and me and the literal grown men next to me CRIED OUR HEARTS OUT to this song. (Any many others)
In 2012 I saw Radiohead and I was sitting next to a complete stranger. They told me before the show began that if they played Pyramid Song that they might start sobbing and to please be prepared. When they did play that song, this person began hugging me and sobbing. They said "I will never forget this moment!" I certainly haven't.
i get it. i was at the second sydney night when he played pyramid song and i just started crying. tears streaming down my face for no apparent reason. it was just such a beautiful and meaningful moment. radiohead and thoms art means so much to me.
@MachoBread ok you explain to me why it's underrated , it's not underrated, most people that hear this song love it, it's not underrated at all, that's just an over used term
Oh man I feel that girl. I made it official that this is my all time favourite song like 20 years ago and have already requested it be played at my funeral.
Saw Radiohead at Manchester in 2017. They opened with Let Down. (For the first time ever) I looked over to my right and saw a big burly, skin head bloke fully sobbing with a load of his friends consoling him and comforting him. To this day I’ve always wondered what had happened to him and what ‘Let Down’ had to do with it. Potentially the song was pivotal at a time he lost a relative or something like that. It was a beautiful moment to witness. Just makes me love the song even more.
She wasn't the only one. I was in the 1st Mel show. I knew i would definitely cry if i heard the live version of this song. I was praying for Thom to sing it, please just once in my life. He did, and i sobbed. Such a magical moment.
I watched him in Singapore too. I cried like that lady, reminiscing how poor I was and now that able to watch him felt like feeding my inner child🥹 girl we made it
Ive been off of Radiohead for a while, only listening to some of their songs in the shower. This video is slowly bringing me back, but maybe not for long. I'll just wait for another emotional breakdown in my life.
I'd probably be crying too. I've listened to this song so many times when I felt like I had a huge let down in my life. The second verse is particularly devastating. It's like I wrote those words.
Absolutely gorgeous! I haven't got a Let Down live. If I did, I'd cry too. Maybe not like THAT. But it's still super sweet. They've tattooed our hearts.
It’s weird that people says it is an underrated song. If you mean a song is underrated just because didn’t become a world wide hit, then I think your definition is wrong. This song has always been well appreciated since the album came out.
I cried when I finally saw the killers play smile like you mean it. Didn’t expect it it just hits you like a bus when you get to see the person who made the music perform songs that mean a lot to you
I was there on both nights and this was probably my favourite - I walked past him at Circular Quay on Friday lunchtime! He was with his Italian wife - I think he saw I was wearing a Radiohead T-shirt and made a detour to avoid being spotted!

This is more than just a version of a song. This is a statement. In an age of unabated technological advancement, Thom has just proved why human emotional intelligence will always trump artificial intelligence. Because it's just that - artificial. You can employ whatever whizzy production techniques you like or autotune someone until they're pitch perfect but completely devoid of emotion, but if you get one incredible human to write an incredible song which MEANS something to them and their audience, you need nothing more than an acoustic guitar and your own voice to bring people to tears. Chat GPT will NEVER do that.
this is me at most live shows, ESPECIALLY when i saw sunny day real estate sometimes absolutely destroyed and when i saw HUM live i cried the whole show…
@@mungofinalfi4480 sometimes that is one of the very few songs where every single time i listen to i end crying my eyes out and tearing a hole in my heart… as someone whom has had a horrible and very discomforting past/childhood it just hurts so much… no more… no more…
@@Fig8907 i mean, there’s always centaur… but yeah HUM was transcending their music is one of the greatest things to ever be created i cried during the entire show their so powerful live like antennas towards heavenward…
@@dalainz I first heard it there, with the messed up first verse, and I cried my eyes out (quietly) so was better prepared for the other shows. This song just hits you hard
@@libelle156 "Oh it's the wrong fucking verse!" That did make me laugh before I resumed crying again haha. Thank you for these amazing videos, I have watched and rewatched and relived the moments from the Auckland shows so many times. And yes, sometimes, I have cried all over again!
Happiest Radiohead listening experience
happiest for sure
"One day, I am gonna grow wings" is my favorite lyric by Thom. Chokes me up almost every time.
Me too. I sometimes listen to Let Down just because I want to cry. Works like a charm.
@@essbeenzI’m here now ♥️

I would cry too. This is one of my favourite songs of all time.

And mine too
I too am crying
It's ok to admit that was you crying in the crowd

shes crying because its so underrated
F$%k it's not underrated at all

I talked to my close friends about playing Let Down at my funeral, too. This song is truly a masterpiece and the gift to all human beings.
Same
What a cheery conversation 😂😂
Its gonna make your funeral so much more depressing lol
bro we got like six months till the bombs fall, we aren't getting funerals
This is an example of music actually changing someone’s life. Thom Yorke’s magnificent.
And the best part. He does it with every damn song.
His voice sounds as good as ever
The guy is the greatest songwriter to ever live since the Beatles. Change my mind.
George Michael...change my mind...🤷
@@bmca6892this is not based
@@MidnightLightMusic what U mean
@@bmca6892 nah thom yorke is better
Yorke is damn good, but Bob Dylan has just entered the chat.
She’s so real for that.

I was at that gig. I felt sorry for all the peeps who were still queuing to get in and missed this masterpiece.
❤
Haha poor girl sounds sobbing her heart out
It was her first thom
only way to listen to let down
Lucky girl ❤😢😊
@@libelle156 Overwhelmed, I can understand that.😁
That lady was Thominated!
I cried too, and im a 50yr old man.
You're only human, perhaps made of new old flesh but human nonetheless, perhaps more so 🫂
Im 43 😢 and i cried too
I cried like a baby, 4 times, when he played in Melbourne last week.
just wish Thom sees this video, that's how important his and Radiohead's music means to people
"(one day) you'll know where you are"
the warmest, most comfortable radiohead song
Well if this isn't the perfect song for today. Clean us with beauty, Thom.
Trump won in a landslide and won the House and Senate as well 👋✌️
was this on nov. 6th? if so, i agree
This goes straight into the collective history of radiohed fans. Thanks crying girl!
This video must be a nice memory to look back on for that crying girl
she's honestly so real for that, that's me when they play How to Disappear Completely
Someone give that girl a hug.
I teared up watching a phone video on UA-cam, I would be wrecked to see this in person
same
She wasn't the only one. I was in the 1st Mel show. I knew i would definitely cry if i heard the live version of this song. I was praying for Thom to sing it, please just once in my life. He did, and i sobbed. Such a magical moment.
You know you're cooked when you feel this song 😭😭
:(
This Man Is A Gift To The World!
This song is divine. It's right up there with Fake Plastic Trees. I've never heard it acoustic like this. What a treat.
I watched him in Singapore too. I cried like that lady, reminiscing how poor I was and now that able to watch him felt like feeding my inner child🥹 girl we made it
His voice is so beautiful it’s making me tear up 😭
Bless her 😭
people dont know how much i wanted this kind of version of let down played by thom sheeeeeesh i loved it
i totally understand whos crying btw
God this one was so beautiful to experience and I’m gonna be rewatching this for the foreseeable future
Seeing radiohead for the first time in 2017 at msg was one of the best experiences of my life. Cried the entire night
Ive been off of Radiohead for a while, only listening to some of their songs in the shower.
This video is slowly bringing me back, but maybe not for long.
I'll just wait for another emotional breakdown in my life.
Me too girl, me too
Only he can sing that.Beautifull
Crying from listening to a song is one of the finest reasons to shed tears; tears well spent. ❤ just love it
The sobbing girl is so real lmao
Never stops being beautiful.
ナゼこの曲を聴くと涙が出るのでしょう✨✨✨喜び、哀しみ イロイロな全ての感情が入り混じって✨ココで泣いてる彼女は皆の代弁者の様です😌
One day.....I am gonna grow wings.....

This is beyond what I hoped for , thank you for sharing these special moments ,Thom solo is intense & beautiful.🐱🏴
That genuinely just brought a tear to my eye. My absolute favourite song by Radiohead. Thom Yorke is a living legend.
Absolutely gorgeous! I haven't got a Let Down live. If I did, I'd cry too. Maybe not like THAT. But it's still super sweet. They've tattooed our hearts.
Had this in my wedding video lol beautiful
best song off of ok computer ❤️

Best song full stop
Underrated ngl

This, All I Need & daydreaming are the most beautiful Radiohead songs.
This is now my favourite part of the internet.

@@johnnyplantLet down underrated
@johnnyplant surely anything can be underrated so long as you belive that it should be even more highly rated. No?
The Tourist is underrated.
It is too beautiful and impossible to not cry.
I'm a 44 yr old man. God, I would cry too.
44 year old man with a kokomi pfp
40 yr old man and im crying right now lol
bellísimo, no puedo dejar de escucharlo
Backing vocal on point
Shettered my soul and heart into fuckin pieces!!!! Goddammit!
literally the best song ever made so idk why he wouldnt be crying

His voice sounds great
canzone pari alla musica più alta, alla musica classica; yorke è un genio
We are so lucky to coincide with a living band like this. Radiohead will be the most trascendental band forever.
Gracias por compartir muchas gracias 🥹❤
So so beautiful. Thank you for posting!
ohh, another wonderful song... I can hardly contain my emotions....❤
ugh you're so real for this
That guy is such a gift
Gah damn what a voice🙏😩
amazed his vocal cords have held up so well over his life
Oh my actual god I love this so so so much
Really feel her and cry with her 💔🥹
Thank you so much for posting this! So beautiful! ❤🙏
If I ever saw this live, I'd be a wreck
I cried along with her. Thank you so much for this video.
Transport, motorways, and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people
Clinging on to bottles
And when it comes
It's so, so disappointing
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Let down again
Let down again
Let down again
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction (you know where you are)
Hysterical and useless (you know where you are)
Hysterical and (you know where you are)
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
thanks!!!!
This man is a genius
I’m crying watching this.
There are few songs i’d like to listen to when i’m dying, this is one of them
Man this is so satisfying and heartbreaking at the same time

i mean, there’s always centaur…
but yeah HUM was transcending their music is one of the greatest things to ever be created
i cried during the entire show their so powerful live like antennas towards heavenward…
I feel for you, man. Live shows are also a big thing for me too.
underrated.
So underrated
I'd cry my heart out if I had the chance of seeing a Thom Yorke solo concert not to mention being that close to him... this song is a masterpiece
Heart opening ❤
Sounds like a lullaby
I wish I could see them live more. I saw them once in 2008. but it’s understandable with how touring almost drove Thom crazy in the past.
My god, Elly, I am crying now too, it is irresistible hearing this wonderful performance and you crying, it is so beautifully sad if it makes sense😭
I cried with you❤️
really beautiful 🤍🤍🤍
Nah bro she's sobbing omg (id be sobbing too)
Cuando leí el titulo se me hizo gracioso y cuando entré e ver el video lloré con la chica 🥲
I thought I’d be annoyed by this - ugh but it’s making me sob even harder than she is 😢😢😢😢😅
Perfection.
any one knows if an album will ever come out from this amazing tour?
Well, unbearable to watch hearing that poor girl sobbing … bless her
Que hermoso ❤️🔥
I did cried in Melbourne day1 as well.
OMG I cry in my videos too! Beautiful!!!!
I can still hear my soul mate crying like this after I broke up with her , I hear it everyday .
I was this girl in Auckland.
