Fun fact: every time you hear a woodwind section in a Radiohead song, it's actually just Ed using his falsetto. Edit: my comment was deleted lmao. Damn, I rick rolled him pretty good as well.
This is really how Jonny conceived Arpeggi, with lyrics by Thom. Then it was rearranged for the entire band and became Weird Fishes/Arpeggi. What a genius...
I wonder how many people didnt think they liked radiohead, or forced themselves to not like it, have found themselves here, now knowing they are musical geniuses. Im so glad Ive always been a fan. I will admit that some styles had to grow on me a bit in my younger years, but now that Im older, every single bit of this makes sense, and I have so much emotion invested into all of it.
That’s me in a nutshell. I thought they were cool and a good band I guess but I kind of felt like they were a one hit wonder. Obviously I was a dumbass and when I decided to listen to OK Computer and Kid A I finally understood that thom yorke is a genius.
I still find The Bends and Pablo Honey very hard to listen to (I really didn't like that style). But they became a band to me since OK Computer. The best band of the last 25 years imo.
I absolutely love Radiohead but they are soppy posh bastards who are depressing and weird as fuck. I completely understand why people might not like them.
This is exactly why they need to do an acoustic version of all their songs. Also the Acoustic version of Motion Picture Soundtrack literally makes me cry, it's so beautiful, it's so damn haunting and beautiful. Edit: it's stripped down, not acoustic, but I guess my thought still stands!
i accidentally clicked on your account while trying to reply to this comment and im so glad. nice playlists. And I agree, even the Numbers cover, Bloom and Analyse on piano. It does add to the song, but i'm sure the surprise of hearing the song in acoustic would vanish if the original did not exist
@@ishitvvats2044 well thank you 🙏🏼 I agree if you don't listen to original version, you won't get an unique apprection for acoustic or stripped back versions. Funny thing is, I heard the Acoustic version of Motion Picture Soundtrack first, which made fall in love with the song and the band beyond belief.
I remember downloading this off Limewire back in the day. Loved this version so much it took me a while to adjust to the album version we now know and love.
@@PaganMan1966 ah yes, many a PC ruined due to torrenting, file sharing and the evitable compu-AIDS associated with the want of those watery, low bit rate MP3’s. The good old days 😂
I heard that the first time not so long after I was introduced to minimalism, so I was hooked immediately. I was listening a lot of it back then (still do). Love the album version but it took years until I got to listen that one again.
Pretty sure I was at this performance. Sounds like the show Johnny curated at the Royal Festival Hall in London with the London Sinfonietta. Still got the ticket somewhere.
this is fantastic. Greenwood surely is a Steve Reich fan. Listen to the hypnotic broken chords on "Music for 18 musicians" and you'll see what I mean. Radiohead more interesting to me still though.
Played on a simple synth patch the effect is very Steve Reich, isn’t it? Just needs to throw in a few bars of 15/16 here and there for the full effect.
I remember first hearing this in 2005-2006 and couldn't wait to hear the band play it. Needless to say they delivered and then some. It seems though that some expected Radiohead to mess it up royally, but I'm not sure why.
@@t-turbo7833 Listen to the Live From The Basement version. That one, in my opinion, is the best rendition of Weird Fishses/Arpeggi that Radiohead has played.
That feeling that everyone who believes they have ASMR elicits, is by my assessment the feeling music that I enjoyed allways gave me, I first noticed it with electronic music. The sonic texture. The polyrithmic interplay, the tone or melody of some human experience encapsulated in an arpegiation. I am never confused why after dismissing radiohead in early nineties because by defaut I couldn't even consider something to 'like' because I only knew about it through a current cultural fad or trend so no chance (I was a bit high strung) that after a few glimmers through a girlfriend or eventually realizing they seemed to give a fuck about art and people, I crossed paths with In Ranbows, and after the 2nd or 3rd listen, realized they were tbe band I had always been wishing existed. The way they project that enthusiasm for MUSIC and playing it on in rainbows was clear to me. And it is very much when thom started moving like he was dancing to the rhythm. Sheer exuberance and joy, the feeling like ASMR THE END
i think thom once said when playing it by himself live on the casiotone something like "this is how it sounded when i wrote it". parts might still come from johnny first though. who knows.
I remember the original video of this performance. It was the very first thing I watched on UA-cam. Wonder if it's still up. Always preferred this version to the Radiohead version.
Crazy how Ed can make his voice sound like a violin

3:52-4:12 The way Thom sings the "Wierd Fishes" part is breathtaking. His voice is so beautiful, it makes me cry.
Just when you thought you couldn't find more versions of weird fishes
Weird Fishes is a version of Arpeggi though
weirder fisherers
The crescendo on this version is magic. All the parts teetering on chaos
You, like me, didn't search for this. But you're glad it popped up in your recommendations.
Aka uhhh how the whole UA-cam recommendations thing works
Yep. Anything that includes some rare Radiohead shit randomly reaching us from different corners of the net is a blessed gift of this life
Yeah me.
Lies! I searched this so I could show a friend, you fool.
All those sounds, beautiful complexity, perfectly timely, chaotic and perfectly located at the same time...amazing.
I can't explain it, but somehow I'm addicted to this song, I have a lifelong addiction, no one can break it, not even me !!!

That synth is so cool. That would have been wounderful to hear it on the final version
you can hear a little bit of it in the bridge (i get eaten by the worms)
dont tell them what to do
tell me what to do
I'm pretty sure it's six ondes martenots. Theremins, not synths.
Most beautiful thing ive ever heard
Damn Jonny
I'm crying
Beautiful version of a great track
Perfecta y hermosa! Es mi preferida de ellos
I was there. My feelings first hearing this cannot be described. It was quite magical.
Best band ever
Would be cool if Radiohead made a modern classical album
it would be cool if they had an album that started with an A that had a pop classic fusion opening sogn
Yup. Need them to REALLY switch it up on the next album. Want them to really dig into more experiments or just get into other genres.
It would be cool if they had an album coming out. Anything. It's been 5 years.
I want a classic rock album from radiohead
check out Jonny´s solo career then, it´s really great
Jonny is the cutest human on earth
Jonny is terrifying. He never smiles and always seems like he's having flashbacks.
@@beacool486 I don't know how someone can be turned on by a guy who doesn't blink. He is forever scarred by "FAT. UGLY. DEAD."

It was called the Ether Festival. There are many videos of it on yt.
Fu*king incredible.
Absolute Masters. This made my eyes sparkle.
This is incredible
I remember when this appeared in radiohead forums & in rainbows was called lp7 by everybody.
thats cool
If this were cleaned up a little, it could belong on AMSP with those gorgeous orchestral arrangements
It's Ill Wind.
Someone has finally uploaded this masterpiece!!
Haven't heard this version in a long time! This could almost be a Björk song, couldn't it?
Terry Riley in the house. With Steve Reich getting the kettle on
Yep, Terry Riley.

Oh he definitely is. Check out his version of Reich's "Electric Counterpoint". And the love is reciprocated - with Reich's "Radio Rewrite"
Happy for the recommendation ❤️
Omg, I love this SO MUCHHH!!!
It's been awhile since this was the only version of the song and before the name change. A lot has changed since then.

Me too dude XD
Good song 👍thanks!

Perfect for alarm clock.

me gusta q la voz suene mas “real” como en directo
Reminds me of a mix between Moondog, Gentle Giant and Steve Reich.
Does this mean that Johnny Came up with all thr guitars at the start of the song?
Well he is the guitarist
Yes. And pretty much the rest. Except the words. Obvs.
