    "You know you're in trouble when people stop listening to sad music. Because the moment they stop listening to sad music, they don't want to know anymore... They're turning themselves off" - T. Yorke

      @urgiduurrgghh i think it depends on the person though, A lot of people find comfort in sad music becuase it's so human and real. Thom's and Radiohead's music is human.

      I find Radioheads emotive music so soothing and grounding. Sometimes I feel clogged up and weighed down with a general frustration and the melancholy of the music and Thoms beautiful voice provides me with a way to release the pent up emotions and reflect.

    It's no mystery why Thom is more open and relaxed here. It's the interviewer. Zane is chill, down to earth, present, active listening, and wants to discuss genuinely interesting things. Thom gets scripted stock questions, barely-there interviewers, and star-struck sit-downs constantly. It's boring and exhausting for brains like his. He must be thrilled on the rare day it's not one of those.

    The last bit made me cry. HE is thanking US for giving this opportunity to HIM, when he has given so much to US. His music has been my best friend at times. It has kept me alive in the darkest times because I didn't feel alone listening to what he was able to articulate. I hope he knows how much what he does matters, and how grateful I am for it.

      Last night I had this weird dream... In my dream I heard Radiohead play a new song that I have never heard before... It was absolutely amazing... And had such a beautiful melody. I connected to it on a deep personal level. Afterwards I met Thom and almost speechless said "Thank you for everything"... It was a very emotional and weird dream... In real life I was dancing around on the living room floor the other day with my 3 year old daughter listening to "Lift" from MD 126 ....

I know of people that have lost a leg or have lost the ability to walk and they still have a positive outlook on life, perhaps even more positive than mine.

    14:40 "I think most artists if they're honest, they're never solo artists" ~Thom
    Kinda hits home. I've tried to put together so many bands to make music, try something new, not play alone, but a lot of them either wanted to do their own thing, wanted to just party, or weren't really committed (or all 3).
    There's magic in playing with a band. It has to vibe. It's a relationship and bands fall apart if there's toxic musicians (like playing over other people, not tuning together, or showing up to practice, not practicing, etc).
    Just like relationships it takes work and effort from everyone which is why it's more honest because when the synergy stops so does the band.

      While I agree with what you say about importance of a good band dynamic, I think what Thom meant was, any artist representing themselves as a solo artist, is never truly a solo artist. Theres always someone you've bounced ideas off of or that have suggested ideas to you in the creating process. theres engineers and mastering wizards who are always helping you with the stuff you can't figure out. hell even if you work in complete isolation, the world around you is your feedback loop.

    This is thee greatest part of “age” -
    when these phenomenal artists are finally comfortable in their own skin- beyond caring about judgement of anything else for that matter, and opening their heart to this wealth of wisdom...to share with all of their admirers.
    If one thinks about it...their words, while innocently spoken in an interview- are just as powerful yet in a different way...as their music.
    In a completely different mental aspect. Their music is beyond words, and then we get this fantastic, cerebral endorphin jolt.
    So strange if thought about past a topical level, because it’s really a direct raw access that we are being privileged to, which is exactly what and how they go through the steps of their artistic masterpieces- and in this case since Thom has had various experiences, we get to hear about more than just I’m sure, what a lot of us weren’t expecting. This interview was like getting a bunch of gifted Easter Eggs.
    Essentially, we’re given a pass to that little bit of understanding how they do it; their thought-process behind it.
    I dig on listening how *age sorta forces it’s way into these workaholic types (artists exclusive), and how when they actually ‘stop to smell the flowers’, when an unexpected influence in their life yanks their brains interest just long enough to have them explore what just happened (as he’s exposing his new-found interest of the power of ‘sleep’ in its entirety, on a beneficial level).
    These types of interviewers who’s own genuine interest and admiration is able to scratch past the surface of their “job” strictly by causing, again, a more *raw “human connection”.
    Splendid interview.❤️
    Thom was amazing and gracious with his going beyond, deep and personal, in his answering.
    Thank you gentlemen.☺️✌️

    I have been a Radiohead fan for many years and I feel this is the best interview that Thom Yorke has ever shared. Former interviews helped quenching the thirst of connection that his fans needed, but they often felt strained and painful.
    This is what appears be an off the cuff, spontaneous interview that is so, so refreshing for real Radiohead fans. Like most fans I had resigned myself to the impossibility to feel a real connection with the real people who were creating this incredible, sometimes life changing music. There was often the feeling that Thom Yorke had some atavic fear or shyness of being himself when projecting to the public. Nearly a fear of identifying himself with his music and reluctance to accept the fact it was so resonant to so many people.
    I know there is no duty from any artist to share the process of creation, to share the doubts and the agonies of delving inside yourself and projecting through an art medium. However, I felt there was always something missing: a lack of acknowledgement of a mutual sharing of emotions and dismay and anguish. And hope as well.
    This is a new Thom Yorke, who sounds comfortable in his own skin and does not wish to run away from the millions of people he has so greatly affected through his music.
    It may be age related, but it is a truly nice development. Thank you!

    Thom seems to let his walls down for this interview, whereas in the past he was understandably very protective.

Not oversharing but not overly suspicious of anyone either.

    The last remark really got to me. Obviously, the edit implies that it was supposed to, but it worked. He's grateful that he can still process the events of his life through creating things "because it means he's still alive". Earlier in the interview, he seems genuinely awed by the fact that his idiosyncratic take on his world is resonant to so many others. It's a struggle to be a creative person who can't help but process the world through making stuff, but to find it resonant to so few. I wonder whether artists of his ilk would ever find an audience today, when so much of the proliferative work is done by the artist.
