Looks like you’ll need to show him the tracks you think he’ll like instead of what’s popular. If he liked that, there’s a lot of other songs of theirs he’d like.
Bought a "best-of" Radiohead double album and listened to it forever in my car... Was a bit average about it. Then my UA-cam algorithm stumbled me across a live set of them playing Everything in Its Right Place and now I'm obsessed.
Thats just not true. I'm sure many don't like them, nothing to do with open mind. Moreso, its one of the most popular bands, not some obscure avante garde movement, its not something you need to 'get'.
@@penguinwolf3330depends which person. a lot don’t give an f about sad music and deep lyrics. it’s not abt getting it but abt not liking. I live with people like this
Yessssss…….my father’s cremated remains arrived yesterday; it’s the first time he’s visited me in 50 years and 35 days. I just finished sitting outside playing the djembe in his memory (he okayed for hours per day)…. And tried to upload the video. I instead stumbled upon your video- and am freaking out! Listening to the commentary - I was abandoned by my father at age 3- and terrible things happen to little girls left vulnerable and alone…unprotected. I lost myself in music as an escape- and reunited with my father near my birthplace 32 years later. I am a musician and teacher- I have covered many Radiohead songs on the piano. This song- your commentary and reaction! So comforting and wonderful….you’ve reminded me that I am not alone- we are only a note away from connecting to one another.❤
My dad was an audiophile that got me hooked on music. Unfortunately he was taken away tragically before this album was released. The thought of sharing this with my dad literally brought tears to my eyes!
That's hearbreaking, I'm so sorry for your great loss. So happy that you got to share this with your father, it's so special when you can connect like that and share. It's the greatest gift music can bestow on us, so thank you for sharing that very special moment with the world.
That moment when you realize you can trust this song, this song's got you, close your eyes, lean into it, it will carry you up and out and over and back again safely, and it will be a trip of feelings and imagery, but this song's got you, got something to tell you, to show you, come!
If you loved this song on your first listen, you're going to really love it on your one hundredth. It's just one of those songs that opens up more each time you hear it.
This has been my number one most listened to song since discovering it in April 2020. I'm a huge Radiohead fan, but this song ... this song is for sure my favorite. 😍 The whole album is amazing.🌈
Exactly. I'm not a fan of Weird Fishes at first listening. But when you have a right moment to listen to it again, you will love it. That was exactly happened for me, and WF is one of my all time favourite RH song
I see it as other way around, this type of emotion here is exactly the reason why people get high. It's all the same thing. Drugs are just another vehicle to get you there. Some music can get you there, meditation can take people there. 'there' is the same place.
@@tristan_840 I don't agree on the 'most of the time' part. maybe sometimes, for some types of people. But not most. I've never had any bad consequences.
Describing this sound as both submerging you underwater, while simultaneously immersing you in the clouds, and somehow also being emotionally overtaken by the wind is so on the nose. Pops gets it!
The unspoken truth here is that this father really loves his son. The glances he gives his son throughout the song, you can almost tell he's very proud and also extremely grateful for his son, and that his son is introducing him to such profound and moving music. Been listening to Weird Fishes since late 2008 when I was first introduced to Radiohead (beyond a few of the 90s hits) and it STILL gives me goosebumps.
10/10 song. Your Dad loved it, you should show him the live 'In Rainbows live from the basement' version so he can see how they done it, you should check it too if you haven't already.
I’m literally crying. I have listened to this song soooo many times but watching this made me connect with it in a higher level. Thank you so much for sharing, what a beautiful souls you guys are ❤️
This song brings me to a certain moment in my life, an inflection. I didn’t pay much attention to the band until 2007, but I became instantly a fan after I dig a little into their discography. One day I’m gonna grow wings…
I think that's why his dad tears up so often... the people we're around affect our emotions more than anything else. The music is amazing, but a man enjoying it with his son hits a different level.
By far my favorite song by Radiohead. It’s so intricate and heavy yet so light and airy. It’s like such a masterpiece it’s insane. I love that tempo from the beginning it’s the same but it seems to start slow but changes to the end…but it doesn’t. It’s magical.
I now like Nude and All I need more, which are a bit in the same vain. It's just a perfect album, the only song I just cannot connect to is House of Cards, it just does nothing for me, all the others top tier.
The way you described the music as making you feel helpless in its presence, that’s how a lot of Radiohead’s music makes me feel! I really have to be in the mood and ready to listen to some of their albums, this one included, because it’s such an immersive and emotional experience.
'Holy shit' is the best way to express his feelings. Also the silence when seeking for words. Priceless! Exactly my first reaction years ago 😂 Great to see this song gets the recognition it deserves. Of the many Radiohead songs of course...❤
I discovered this album alone in my apartment while I was coming down from an acid trip. It was on vinyl, and the sound made me feel like I was in utero or something. It was one of those experiences you could never recreate. It's nice to see other people digging into it as well.
IM SO HAPPY YOU GUYS LISTENED TO THIS TRACK!!! Keep doing what you guys are doing, it's so wholesome to see you two enjoying all sorts of music together!
One of my favourite songs and albums from Radiohead. I can't wait for the full album reaction, your Dad really seemed to understand the essence of Radiohead from this track more than Karma Police and I think he'll love other tracks from the album like Faust Arp, Reckoner, 15 Step and Jigsaw Falling into Place.
Came down the comment section to mention/suggest these exact tracks you've mentioned! there's also Everything in It's right place, Kid A, Talk Show Host, Idiotique..I could go on forever
Radiohead has been my favorite band forever and finally seeing them during the In Rainbows tour was bliss. One of my most cherished live music experiences for sure. Happy that pops vibed with this. ❤️
This is my anthem,a song for when im depressed or misplaced,or for when im getting ready to face the day.the beat feels so gut wrenching but upbeat,like not wanting to move forward but doing it anyways,absolutely love that you could share it with your dad❤
Your dad is a gem. Treasure him. My old man is a couple years into dementia, at 82, so in some respect I'm mourning him already, but seeing you with your pops reminds me of how we used to be. Radiohead got me through mourning my Ma, and this tune was a big part of it. ❤
In Rainbows is so great - would love to see the full album reaction. Reckoner is also one of the most beauiful songs out there. Also love your descriptions of the feeling this song evokes
I’ve been avoiding watching this specific video because my dad passed away last year and this was a song he loved but watching you two enjoy this together made my heart happy ❤️ love these videos so much
The moment at 5:55 is beautiful - this was exactly my reaction when hearing this song for the first time. Back when In Rainbows dropped out of nowhere, I bought it and burned it to a CD-R as fast as humanly possible so I could drive around and listen. w/o social media or a leak, there was simply no way to experience the album other than in its entirety. When this song ended it was like, "Where do you even go from here?" And then the album continues to evolve and surprise you. I kept driving just to listen to the whole thing again.
Weird Fishes is so artistic, it feels like being immersed in the ocean, underwater, like you’re alone but everything around contributes to create your existence, feels like pretending you want to stay at the bottom although you know you still can reach the surface if they ask. I wanna drown in this song.
There's something about these 'reaction' videos isn't there. Wow. I lost my dad in 2014 and watching you two share this song together has made me literally weep at the thought that we didn't share these moments ourselves. The song of course is beautiful and maybe my favourite Radiohead track but this dimension of watching a son introduce his father to it and watching his mind get blown is a profound angle to it. There's so much love in this video.
As beautiful as this song and all of In Rainbows (or just Rainbows 😅) is, the most gorgeous part of this is seeing you two meet in that space of appreciation and awe. Keep connecting with your dad and people like this; you have something special here.
You should do the live from the basement reaction, it’s free from copyright so you can show it whole and it’s quite something. They play almost the whole In Rainbows album. It will also show you HOW they make these sounds, just as you said!
I just had to hit the like button right away. Music has always been the main form of bonding between me and my dad, so to me is really beautiful to see you guys sharing these moments. I really liked the rap content but I'm grateful you guys expanded your horizon. I love how sensible the dad is, it really touches me to see him going emotional, and I love the way he share his thoughts about the music. I'd love to see you listening to (and to get to know) his favorites, I bet dad too has an amazing and sensible taste! Love from Brazil ❤
What strikes me most about this song are what feels like the contrasting beats between drums and guitar (?)- if you listen carefully, you can hear that these aren’t in synch, yet it just works…beautifully. I think this must be an unusual time signature or some such- I’d like to understand it a bit more, but you probably need to be a musician to do so. What I do know is that it’s my favourite song ever. Thanks, Radiohead.
Radiohead was an emotional release for me in highschool and into college, around 2000-2006ish. I always come back to them. And it’s always magically once again.
This was fucking brilliant. He looked like he was being taken into some sort of parallel universe which is exactly how I felt when I first heard this song and still kindve do. This is excellent
Two amazing reactions in one vid. One is hearing it for the first time and the other is reacting to the other hearing it. 'It' being one of the greatest songs ever to grace our ears. Edit 5th May: I will come back to this reaction because it's the best on the tube. Full of elation and song immersion.
This song was instantly catchy and hypnotic when I first heard it as a kid, but as I've grown up the way I perceive it has changed a lot, and I even react differently to it on each listen. Sometimes it's meditative, and other times it's an intense emotional ride.
The album is a masterpiece. Saw them live twice at Madison Square garden, best concert experience of my life. Seen just about every band you’d want to see even the 3 tenors at the rose bowl front row dead center and this was on another level. Please, please do the full album listen 🙏🏼 and why not Scotch Mist? Your dad might dig the bts musicianship aspect. Thanks for all the great wholesome content man do we need it given the state of things. Also, desert island disks live was kind of otherworldly. Radiohead as good as they are recorded are even better live.
Personally, I think Moon Shaped Pool is as entrancing as all their other classic albums. Some deep waters there. Decks Dark is always in my head. Great song from start to finish.
Just stumbled across this reaction and it's probably the best reaction to hearing a new song I've heard. One of my favourite Radiohead songs from one of the best albums. This dad gets it. Radiohead just communicates to me on a different level.
I enjoyed your Dad's reaction, and I agree with your joint description of this amazing song. I would add that to me it has a dreamlike quality. It's the music that plays in your head when you're lying in bed, drifting between wakefulness and sleep.
This is a great video! Its cool seeing a younger person being into Radiohead. As a middle aged dad, I always think of them as dad music. My dad, even though hes in is mid 70s, is still listening to new music and discovering new bands. I hope Im like that when I get to be his age. My 10 year old son likes some of the stuff I listen to, but I think he's still a little young to appreciate Radiohead.
I watched this video three times today, and it made me fall in love with one of my favorite songs and favorite albums all over again. It’s so great to be a spectator watching someone experience (and ENJOY) this for the first time, and the father/son dynamic makes it all that much better. Thanks for sharing!
One of the best albums ever made. Glad to see you guys exploring this. Brings back so many fond memories from when this album was released. Still have my in rainbows tour tshirt. Masterful album, can just hit play and before you know it you’ve looped all the way around to the le first track again
Why Am i crying ? I think i would like to return to the point where i discover this amazing band who changed my life forever. Your dad reaction is just perfect. Love him, love both of you.
My first watch of you guys, one of my favourite tracks of all time. That tear that you wiped away, such a real reaction to this beautiful track. How f@#$ing awesome is it to allow your kid to show you something that moves them, and to then be moved by it yourself. My kids love the music I love, and I'm starting to appreciate their musical tastes too. What a great relationship you have. Big ups to you both. 🤜🤛
I was a new teen when I lucky got invited to go see them. I had no idea who they were, my friend at that time, her brother, worked for the Hollywood bowl and he got us in. My mind was absolutely blown, I fell in love when them that night and for the rest of my life. I'm 36 now and sadly haven't seen them live since, I hope I get the opportunity again soon.
This song never fails to get me into a good mood. The part with the chimes reminds of the sound of a rainbow if a rainbow if a had a sound. The whole arrangement is hypnotic. And this interjections of bass, just a touch to keep it special, and the tone on it. And finally the relentless rhythm and uniqueness of Thom’s voice.
This is the best reaction channel there is. You're both incredibly thoughtful and open to learning about each others' music and really try to understand each other. It makes me really happy and it's great content all around. Also keep the radiohead reactions coming please!
How am I just now seeing this page?? They are my absolute favorite and he gets its. I cried watching him and you & it was like I was listening to it for the first time❤please keep it going!!!
Phil Selway making the simple change from his hi-hat cymbal to the ride to open up the entire song and expand everything to that next level is just what Radiohead are about on this song. Everything comes from their absolute mastery of dynamics. Weird Fishes is one of the great guitar rock pieces of all time and probably still the best guitar rock piece of the 21st century.
It's nice to see the special relationship you have, as father and son. I can relate. Such a blessing to have one's son, and a song, cause an epiphany. "I hit the bottom and escaped".
A mature sound engineer, who designed my first sound system at the age of 20, told me a beautiful phrase, while after some adjustments, I was obviously moved to hear sounds that were not heard before... He heard it, but I felt it. So I felt blessed... Because of the obvious emotion you showed, I'm going to give you the same phrase "Shit, what sensitivity do you have"
What a beautiful reaction. Loved his description. I wasn’t sure what he was saying at first but I went along with it and I’m glad I did. He described it so poetically. Also, what a moving video. Thanks for sharing this moment.
Such an incredible song, impossible not to be moved. From the simple stripped down guitar triplets, the added layers, textures and gradual build up to - dare I say - "Anthem"! I think this was the first song that got me hooked on Radiohead! But I'm the dad in this case, and got my son turned on to Radiohead!
Beautiful song. "In the deepest ocean" is a metaphor for drowning, in a bad relationship in this case. He gets "turned by another, feels guilty, then finally escapes.
Magical reaction - helpless, existing in different elements, it's my favourite song and I'd never thought of this after listening to it for 100s of times over the years. When the background ed shouts hit you it's a whole other level again
My favourite channel on youtube right here. This song made me hear ‘rainbows’ as the album suggests. Especially the note progressions in the beginning sounds like different colours of the rainbows and then they come together to form the whole rainbow.
When the Hit the button and escape part starts it's hard not to get emotional, that bassline is otherworldly, and the intro too the guitar and the bass just inseparable, Jhonny and Colin Greenwood have the greatest synchronicity
I saw the title of this video and immediately had to click. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is one of my favourite Radiohead songs! I totally agree with the feeling of not necessarily being on land but somewhere else like in the water or air. The music just takes you somewhere else. Great review guys!
thank you for putting dad’s reaction to weird fishes, loved it. One of my favourite tracks on the Album too. It’s worth watching ‘In Rainbows From the Basement’ if you haven’t already, to not only hear but see how beautifully crafted this Album is.
Seeing them in person is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They put on a hauntingly amazing visual display and sound even better live. Also, EVERYONE is chill. Every single person.
Never been more proud to be a Radiohead my heart was bursting watching his reaction and most perfect description that was beautiful ..its luuush.. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💙💜
6:45 That's the moment of pure bliss. Damn I love this song, it's my favorite of all of their music so watching this gave me chills multiple times. You guys are undoubtedly my favorite reaction channel to watch no doubt especially with a huge catalog of music that I also listen too it's the best.
You should have him listen to 'Present Tense' from their Moon-Shaped Pool album. That or 'How to Disappear Completely'. Both bangers. 'The Daily Mail' is one of my personal faves that doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Лучшая реакция на эту песню. Именно такая, какую хочется видеть. Ведь что то похожее испытал я сам. В их песнях есть какая то тишина и покой, именно он создает ощущение беспомощности и чувство того, что ты на самом деле ничего не контролируешь. И именно в этом есть путь к божественному.
This song is my ultimate comfort song for years. It’s not even the lyrics it’s this feeling and the sound. It really makes me feel my feelings . I love it

Can't believe he didn't like it😮

As long as you approach them with an open mind, loving Radiohead is inevitable. Seeing someone suddenly 'get it' for the first time is a privilege.

That is so perfectly put. Thank you.
@@penguinwolf3330depends which person. a lot don’t give an f about sad music and deep lyrics. it’s not abt getting it but abt not liking. I live with people like this

You already know we are about to tell you to show him In Rainbows From the Basement
Should I do that for the full album reaction or the studio version off a streaming platform like usual?
@@frontroom Studio version, just show him some of the best songs from the live session. Weird Fishes is one of them
@@frontroom Basement full album is better i think because he can see them play and appreciate more, i think
Nude from basement sessions too is another highlight.

The "Later...with Jools Holland" live performance is better. check it out.
I posted the same suggestion above before seeing your comment. By his dad's reaction to this song, From The Basement will blow his mind.
Agree. The From the Basement video is such a great live version of all of the songs!

I lost my dad suddenly a month ago - he was only 58. In Rainbows is probably my favourite album of all time. Folks, tell your dad you love them!

“Sharing music is a love language” what a beautiful experience between father and son. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Weird Fishes is so artistic, it feels like being immersed in the ocean, underwater, like you’re alone but everything around contributes to create your existence, feels like pretending you want to stay at the bottom although you know you still can reach the surface if they ask. I wanna drown in this song.
This song is beyond words really. It’s just beautiful. It speaks for itself. Impossible to say how it makes me feel.
Greatest band to come out in the last 30 years. Yeah, I said it. Each albums are different. They up their repertoire in the musicianship.
There's something about these 'reaction' videos isn't there. Wow. I lost my dad in 2014 and watching you two share this song together has made me literally weep at the thought that we didn't share these moments ourselves. The song of course is beautiful and maybe my favourite Radiohead track but this dimension of watching a son introduce his father to it and watching his mind get blown is a profound angle to it. There's so much love in this video.
Wow first time I noticed the DJ Screw cover in the back. Impeccable taste 🤌
ive probably listened to inrainbows over a million times yet every song still gives me chills
As beautiful as this song and all of In Rainbows (or just Rainbows 😅) is, the most gorgeous part of this is seeing you two meet in that space of appreciation and awe. Keep connecting with your dad and people like this; you have something special here.
You should do the live from the basement reaction, it’s free from copyright so you can show it whole and it’s quite something. They play almost the whole In Rainbows album. It will also show you HOW they make these sounds, just as you said!
I just had to hit the like button right away. Music has always been the main form of bonding between me and my dad, so to me is really beautiful to see you guys sharing these moments. I really liked the rap content but I'm grateful you guys expanded your horizon. I love how sensible the dad is, it really touches me to see him going emotional, and I love the way he share his thoughts about the music. I'd love to see you listening to (and to get to know) his favorites, I bet dad too has an amazing and sensible taste! Love from Brazil ❤
What strikes me most about this song are what feels like the contrasting beats between drums and guitar (?)- if you listen carefully, you can hear that these aren’t in synch, yet it just works…beautifully. I think this must be an unusual time signature or some such- I’d like to understand it a bit more, but you probably need to be a musician to do so. What I do know is that it’s my favourite song ever. Thanks, Radiohead.
Such a precious moment between father and son. And the song!! Dad's expression as the song slowly takes him over is priceless
Radiohead was an emotional release for me in highschool and into college, around 2000-2006ish. I always come back to them. And it’s always magically once again.
Pyramid song, Sail to the Moon, How to Disappear Completely…just to name a few.
Beautiful moments is very fitting. In Rainbows is a soul clenching album.
This was fucking brilliant. He looked like he was being taken into some sort of parallel universe which is exactly how I felt when I first heard this song and still kindve do. This is excellent
Two amazing reactions in one vid. One is hearing it for the first time and the other is reacting to the other hearing it. 'It' being one of the greatest songs ever to grace our ears.
Edit 5th May: I will come back to this reaction because it's the best on the tube. Full of elation and song immersion.
This song was instantly catchy and hypnotic when I first heard it as a kid, but as I've grown up the way I perceive it has changed a lot, and I even react differently to it on each listen. Sometimes it's meditative, and other times it's an intense emotional ride.
The album is a masterpiece. Saw them live twice at Madison Square garden, best concert experience of my life. Seen just about every band you’d want to see even the 3 tenors at the rose bowl front row dead center and this was on another level. Please, please do the full album listen 🙏🏼 and why not Scotch Mist? Your dad might dig the bts musicianship aspect. Thanks for all the great wholesome content man do we need it given the state of things. Also, desert island disks live was kind of otherworldly. Radiohead as good as they are recorded are even better live.
Is Scotch Mist better that Live From The Basement?
In Rainbows and King of Limbs Live From The Basement are just pure class.
Decks Dark is another great song by them that delivers that ethereal feeling!
Personally, I think Moon Shaped Pool is as entrancing as all their other classic albums. Some deep waters there. Decks Dark is always in my head. Great song from start to finish.
He would probably like Thom Yorke's "Twist". I got to see my daughter do a contemporary dance piece to it. Made me cry.
Just stumbled across this reaction and it's probably the best reaction to hearing a new song I've heard. One of my favourite Radiohead songs from one of the best albums. This dad gets it. Radiohead just communicates to me on a different level.
You guys have such a wholesome vibe, watching you enjoy music together is soul healing
I enjoyed your Dad's reaction, and I agree with your joint description of this amazing song.
I would add that to me it has a dreamlike quality. It's the music that plays in your head when you're lying in bed, drifting between wakefulness and sleep.
This is a great video! Its cool seeing a younger person being into Radiohead. As a middle aged dad, I always think of them as dad music. My dad, even though hes in is mid 70s, is still listening to new music and discovering new bands. I hope Im like that when I get to be his age. My 10 year old son likes some of the stuff I listen to, but I think he's still a little young to appreciate Radiohead.
I watched this video three times today, and it made me fall in love with one of my favorite songs and favorite albums all over again. It’s so great to be a spectator watching someone experience (and ENJOY) this for the first time, and the father/son dynamic makes it all that much better. Thanks for sharing!
This and "Let down" are wonderful, the bests
Let Down is so underrated
Artist: Sigur Ros. Songs: Untitled #3, Glosoli, Saeglopur. Highly suggest those as well.
One of the best albums ever made. Glad to see you guys exploring this. Brings back so many fond memories from when this album was released. Still have my in rainbows tour tshirt. Masterful album, can just hit play and before you know it you’ve looped all the way around to the le first track again
Why Am i crying ? I think i would like to return to the point where i discover this amazing band who changed my life forever. Your dad reaction is just perfect. Love him, love both of you.
My first watch of you guys, one of my favourite tracks of all time. That tear that you wiped away, such a real reaction to this beautiful track. How f@#$ing awesome is it to allow your kid to show you something that moves them, and to then be moved by it yourself. My kids love the music I love, and I'm starting to appreciate their musical tastes too. What a great relationship you have. Big ups to you both. 🤜🤛
Man they are so gifted, it is ridiculous. They smash my ego and bring emotions to the surface.
IMO their best work
Btw, The' From the Basement ' version sounds even better. Much more organic. Such as the rest of the' From the Basement 'session.
I was a new teen when I lucky got invited to go see them. I had no idea who they were, my friend at that time, her brother, worked for the Hollywood bowl and he got us in. My mind was absolutely blown, I fell in love when them that night and for the rest of my life. I'm 36 now and sadly haven't seen them live since, I hope I get the opportunity again soon.
This song never fails to get me into a good mood. The part with the chimes reminds of the sound of a rainbow if a rainbow if a had a sound. The whole arrangement is hypnotic. And this interjections of bass, just a touch to keep it special, and the tone on it. And finally the relentless rhythm and uniqueness of Thom’s voice.
Dad's reaction just shows you should treat us to the whole album ✌🏼 Love and Peace from South Carolina
This is the best reaction channel there is. You're both incredibly thoughtful and open to learning about each others' music and really try to understand each other. It makes me really happy and it's great content all around. Also keep the radiohead reactions coming please!
How am I just now seeing this page?? They are my absolute favorite and he gets its. I cried watching him and you & it was like I was listening to it for the first time❤please keep it going!!!
Phil Selway making the simple change from his hi-hat cymbal to the ride to open up the entire song and expand everything to that next level is just what Radiohead are about on this song.
Everything comes from their absolute mastery of dynamics. Weird Fishes is one of the great guitar rock pieces of all time and probably still the best guitar rock piece of the 21st century.
It's nice to see the special relationship you have, as father and son. I can relate. Such a blessing to have one's son, and a song, cause an epiphany. "I hit the bottom and escaped".
I love seeing people become fans of Radiohead ❤️
except he doesn't like OK Computer. lol
A mature sound engineer, who designed my first sound system at the age of 20, told me a beautiful phrase, while after some adjustments, I was obviously moved to hear sounds that were not heard before... He heard it, but I felt it. So I felt blessed...
Because of the obvious emotion you showed, I'm going to give you the same phrase "Shit, what sensitivity do you have"
What a beautiful reaction. Loved his description. I wasn’t sure what he was saying at first but I went along with it and I’m glad I did. He described it so poetically. Also, what a moving video. Thanks for sharing this moment.
When you realize you’ve been holding your breath for minutes….
Eyes closed and head bobbing is the natural state for listening to this song. Love it
Such an incredible song, impossible not to be moved. From the simple stripped down guitar triplets, the added layers, textures and gradual build up to - dare I say - "Anthem"! I think this was the first song that got me hooked on Radiohead! But I'm the dad in this case, and got my son turned on to Radiohead!
I wish I could hear this song for the first time again! I envy that feeling
More to uncover each listen ❤
Beautiful song. "In the deepest ocean" is a metaphor for drowning, in a bad relationship in this case. He gets "turned by another, feels guilty, then finally escapes.
Magical reaction - helpless, existing in different elements, it's my favourite song and I'd never thought of this after listening to it for 100s of times over the years.
When the background ed shouts hit you it's a whole other level again
I would definitely watch a full album reaction for In Rainbows. Fantastic album.
I lost my Dad at 6. Wonder what he would have thought of my music tastes. Would have loved to share such a moment with him
My favourite channel on youtube right here. This song made me hear ‘rainbows’ as the album suggests. Especially the note progressions in the beginning sounds like different colours of the rainbows and then they come together to form the whole rainbow.
The love between you two is something to behold. And to do it with this song as context is just wonderful. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When the Hit the button and escape part starts it's hard not to get emotional, that bassline is otherworldly, and the intro too the guitar and the bass just inseparable, Jhonny and Colin Greenwood have the greatest synchronicity
I saw the title of this video and immediately had to click. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is one of my favourite Radiohead songs! I totally agree with the feeling of not necessarily being on land but somewhere else like in the water or air. The music just takes you somewhere else. Great review guys!
thank you for putting dad’s reaction to weird fishes, loved it. One of my favourite tracks on the Album too. It’s worth watching ‘In Rainbows From the Basement’ if you haven’t already, to not only hear but see how beautifully crafted this Album is.
this was so heartwarming. probably remains my fave Radiohead song
i NEED more radiohead reactions PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Lucky to have a great relationship with your father like this man, cherish that
Props on the DJ Screw All Screwed Up cover in the back. ❤❤
Seeing them in person is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They put on a hauntingly amazing visual display and sound even better live. Also, EVERYONE is chill. Every single person.
Never been more proud to be a Radiohead my heart was bursting watching his reaction and most perfect description that was beautiful ..its luuush.. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💙💜
I love you you just sit there and let him explain how he felt rather than just inputting your own interpretations. Great video, cheers
this song makes my life flash before my eyes for some reason. Great song trutly magical.
6:45
That's the moment of pure bliss.
Damn I love this song, it's my favorite of all of their music so watching this gave me chills multiple times. You guys are undoubtedly my favorite reaction channel to watch no doubt especially with a huge catalog of music that I also listen too it's the best.
At 6:00 “holy shit”. Exactly. Tears
I can't tell you how happy this reaction made me. Your father has exquisite taste
I love that you just laughed with joy seeing your Dad savour this masterpiece.
You should have him listen to 'Present Tense' from their Moon-Shaped Pool album. That or 'How to Disappear Completely'. Both bangers. 'The Daily Mail' is one of my personal faves that doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Лучшая реакция на эту песню. Именно такая, какую хочется видеть. Ведь что то похожее испытал я сам. В их песнях есть какая то тишина и покой, именно он создает ощущение беспомощности и чувство того, что ты на самом деле ничего не контролируешь. И именно в этом есть путь к божественному.
This song is my ultimate comfort song for years. It’s not even the lyrics it’s this feeling and the sound. It really makes me feel my feelings . I love it
