I was in a bar in Florida and they had an empty piano sitting there. In walked a very large Russian guy speaking broken English and he asked the bartender if he could play the piano. He started playing popular show tunes and no one was really paying attention to him . He seen me looking at him and he said to me what would you like to hear and I said I'm sure you don't know the music that I like and he replied try me. I said Radiohead. He started with this song, Daydreaming, and played about 10 songs by Radiohead before he left. I asked the bartender who he was and he said I have no idea I've never seen him before. It was great almost like a ghost walked in played Radiohead and then disappeared. It was an interesting night that I enjoyed immensely.
Probably important to know that in 2015 he and his partner of 23 years split. She passed of cancer in 2016. The year this album was released. He was going through the deepest grief. She was gone. He and his children were left to mourn. It puts this album into focus. Watch the video again. He is searching everywhere, through every door, in a hospital, ends back up in a home and there is a woman there reading a newspaper ...notice all the times he goes back into this house...looking for that which is lost. When he opens the last door he is in the snow, into a cave. And he has no discernible language to describe it. That’s grief.
Thanks for this explanation, I had no idea and this makes the video even deeper feeling and more profound. Radiohead and PTA are a match made in heaven, they definitely "get" each other.
@@dtunes7pt I know right? I feel like Thom Yorke gets all the credit cause he is the frontman, but since we are talking about a band so we should give credit to all the band members
@@johnlemmon6660 Not taking merits from Thom, excelent voice and lyrics, individualy I prefer Jonny, though fully agreed with you, Radiohead is what it is because of all their members, and most bands are like thatm maybe NIN is a one man band example..
Tommy Why So, sorry to tell you and I get you don't understand, but it is happening to you. Thom's character is dreaming back in time to our present tense; a Mal-adaptive Daydream (look it up). His "dream" begins in a man made cave surrounded by shadows of people but ends in a natural cave alone surrounded shadows of flames. He ends in the fetal position just like he did when I was a little boy in the video "Just". He is alone because the only food is other people, and if you recall from Kid A's "Idioteque", "the women and children would be first" and he'd "swallow until he burst". This dream is to see "everything in its right place", because everything has been swallowed by the sea. Ice Age coming.
This is actually what daydreaming feels like. You don't look at faces or the places you go, you don't pay any attention at all in the world around you. You open doors and pass lonely and crowded places and yet the only thing that travels through your head is your own thoughts. So the ending is like you finally find the place you were always searching to find or you weren't even searching, you just walked and the place found you.
I lost my wife a year ago and I can't breathe sometimes because of the pain. All of her clothes are still in our bedroom closet. I sleep in my stepson's old room sometimes. One day I had a wife and a son, the next day I lost everything. There is this silly part of me that hopes she will knock on the front door and say it was all a sick joke. I guess life's sick joke is on me. I miss you Crystal, see you soon.
Can you imagine, that after you passed and died, this is what the initial afterlife would be like. You walking through moments in your life, through different doorways, into memories from your childhood, all the way up to the moment of your death. Amazing.
@@goodguyberr I guess it depends on what has happened or what you've done in your life. For me, even with the loss and extremely difficult times, amazing.
Holy fucking siet it's like thom is a psico that enter random houses searching desperately for I have no idea what. IDK, he just likes very much entering houses
@@tamjidi This is humanity's rightful punishment. So enjoy the beauty and misery. Enjoyment and suffering. Free will and martyrdom. Serving and executing. Find a noble cause and commit to it, feed information to the next generation. We've caused our own downfall. It can only get better from here.
I am gonna have 31. year on the first September....first ear connection and sense with Radiohead when I was heard song Creep about 93s when my country was in war...so that long time to listen one band, and never gets old , and always surprise you with magnificent and beautiful new masterpiece like this... this is Thom life's for sure...this act is his lifetime
Jokes aside but this is the message that people need to realize that the film/music industry reject radiohead james bond theme song. (This song have a lot of meaning but from my point of view people tend to focus on many things they forgot people around them exist.)
This is like a reverse Allegory of the cave. He's seen everything, gone through all stages in life. He's gone as far as he needed to go and he gains nothing from being outside. He is still alone, so rather than be outside in the cold lonely world, he chooses to go back into the cave and stare directly into the fire; only because it's more comfortable, to daydream.
Relatable.. it gets difficult, people don't seem to worry as much, keep to yourself nobody will care, introverts feel it the most, when they need someone to talk to
@@Christian-97 AMSP is the most texturally brilliant and creative, I think - the songs are all extremely creative. Kid A is very close, but I like the latter as an album more.
@@Christian-97 easily their top 3 best records. I’m glad we agree. Kid A would be my number 1 and AMSP my 2nd. In Rainbows is 3rd for me. A Moon Shaped Pool is undoubtedly their most seamless record in my opinion, it flows like magic, while Kid A is intentionally fragmented, and In Rainbows’ is collage-like.
@@kyleplatz3751 In retrospect, AMSP is now my second fav album and Kid A is now my third favorite. I didn't get the hype at first when I first listened to it, but now I absolutely love it. P.S: Seems we have different takes on the flow of the respective albums, I always thought that AMSP didn't flow well because of the "fast paced song first and slow ballad song next" thing the whole album has going on, same with the first half of Kid A, while the second half flows greatly. I think In Rainbows has the best flow of all of them.
@@Christian-97 Interesting! I find AMSP has this very meander-y dreamlike quality to it. I’ve always thought the tracklist just flows so beautifully, it’s almost like a stream, each track just melts into the next one (for me at least). I’ve always thought In Rainbows has some jarring moments, particularly the transition from the growl-y “All I Need” to the plucky, folksy “Faust Arp”. Still, love them all so much haha.
This song is grief for me, I listened to it while going through the biggest trauma in my life and it helps me cope. I'm so thankful to Thom for creating music
Let Down really helped me, as well as Airbag and There, There. There’s so many others, but those stand out. I recommend Sail to the Moon, as it’s a mellow song like Daydreaming.
She's slamming the door. Parts of the video seem to be mostly about parenthood - mainly about motherhood - if you remember anything about your childhood (or parenthood) (this is to say, in quite many cases, but not all, of course), it's typically one of the hardest bits: the child slamming the door on the parent to be alone while the parent just wanted the best for them and they don't understand it yet. A lot of the imagery during the song's video refers to motherhood as well as parenthood and "over achiever" struggles, or general struggles if you don't just consider a rat race for money fulfilling, even though we all do it. Throughout the video you actually see a combination of references to motherhood and to the albums that Radiohead have done - which I suppose is a culmination of Thom's struggle to make sense of where he should belong in this world.
Ive been homeless for a while and now Ive finally found a small place to call home. Since I see so many in worse situations than I am I dont think its possible for me to have the want to feel bad. I am greatful now. I hope I can find my place in this world slowly. For whoever is reading this, I hope you find your home here too. I hope the world is kind to you stranger. -- Yes I am fine now. I live in a nice apartment with my dog. I got help from a violence shelter. Thank you for your support! ♡♡♡ Thank you to all the people who responded. I just want to let you guys know there's hope. No matter what people say, don't ever let anyone look down on you because you're homeless or call you anything bad. I love you all folks. God bless.
@@mzon772 most homeless people love and care for their dog better than people who have homes. And you can also live in a dwelling, and not have it be your home. Home is a feeling, it's a hard place to find.
Thank you radiohead, I'm a rape survivor and I listened to this after a PTSD attack and anxiety, Your music always helps me and sometimes I cry listening to your songs. You always touch my soul.
803 Mastiff nice suitable quote, thx for sharing thx! I can relate. Maybe it’s more comfortable dreaming of the fire, than walking through this life seeing everything crystal clear
To me, this song/video represents one of the great tragedies of humankind. In the video, we can see Thom is looking for something. We don't know what that something is (and probably neither does Thom) but nonetheless he relentlessly pursues it, opening door after door. The places he ends up in are fairly random in nature, alluding to the idea that very rarely does the outcome of our decisions match our expectations. It's one thing to imagine (daydream) about a better future, but it's another thing to actually live it. Rather than ending up somewhere better, you just end up somewhere else. And the thing you're chasing feels no closer than it did when you started. But you continue the chase anyway because well... "dreamers, they never learn". This continual process of running away from the past and bargaining with the future is what has got us to where we are today. It's given us running water, cures to terrible diseases and the technology that allows me to share these thoughts with all of you. But make no mistake, we pay a heavy price for this, and it comes in the form of suffering. An endless suffering that wakes up with you in the morning, follows you throughout your day, goes to bed with you at night and haunts you in your dreams while you sleep. It never goes away. Towards the end, the music changes to a solemn tone. He's running out of time. He quickens his pace and desperately moves from door to door. But despite his efforts, the thing he seeks never reveals itself. Finally he arrives at a mountain. Death, in the form of a monstrous voice beckons him from the distance. Thom knows his time is up. Instead of running, he climbs the mountain to confront the monster that has taken so much from him throughout his life. But when he finally tracks it to it's cave, he realises that there is no monster. And as he lies down by the warm, cosy fire that welcomes him, he smiles as he realises his suffering is finally over. This song doesn't offer us an answer to this problem. It simply acknowledges its existence and the role it plays in our everyday lives. But in doing so, it reminds people like me that I'm not alone in this struggle, that everyone experiences it. Consciously or not. And for reasons I'm not sure about, that makes it hurt less. As the saying goes "A problem shared is a problem halved". I hope In sharing this with us, Thom has alleviated some of that suffering for himself too.
Wow man.... you really are very receptive person...just i feel something different at the end of video...when I see the little campfire inside a freeze mountain i thing maybe it's hope....a little burn still flaming maybe it's what's Tom looking since beginning, he open many doors one after other one he ups stairs again and again open gates he walks through room by room..looking for hope....and finally he find it and sleeps tired whispering some words...my god what's Tom saying?
At the beginning I connected the dots between your comment and another one, which explains his vital issue around the loss of his ex-wife, whom he cheated on and even got to divorce. But after that process, she got cancer and passed away 💔 so the lyrics make even more sense to me if they talk about grief, loneliness and desperation for all those years (23 years = 23doors) wandering and losing the track of what is meaningful for him. It's like he filmed this after realising how unfruitful his journey after "the unknown" (another romance, greatness, professional recognition) has been whe he sings "Dreamers, they never learn". Until everything that he took for granted has finally disappeared ("And it's too late, the damage is done")
This just crushes my heart and head with talent and creativity. At the beginning, he was slowing pacing through the doors. He even smiled once when he was in a crowded area( a fake mask in front of others/ hiding grief). Then his pace started becoming quicker and more urgent. He preferred walking in the sunlight because it made him feel less lost in his mind. His face throughout all of it screams that he wants to cry out and yell his feelings to everyone but he can’t. His bottled up emotions are evident in his red eyes and twitching lips. He prefers to go out to nature. At first the beach, but no, that place is too crowded. So he ends up in a mountain full of snow. A mountain that describes his feelings: emptiness, cold, pale, unknown. He goes into a cave, a rather small one, contrasting to the massive mountain. It is only then that he opens his mouth and talks. He talks to himself in the small part of his mind where no one is present and no one is aware of the cave’s presence. He talks in a way only he can understand. This endless loop of going through door to door is reminiscent of the stages of grief. He is stuck in a stage before the 5th and final one: acceptance. He isn’t willing to accept the death of a loved one so he walks away from everyone, puts up a facade in front of others, and doesn’t want to face reality. He wants to go somewhere where his feelings can be accepted. He can’t let anyone know about his unwillingness to forget so he goes to the fire in the cave. And lets out his words to burn. No one will ever know about his struggle because he burned it all in his head. The only problem is that the wound and ashes remained will only be felt by him. He doesn’t want to forget this ever. He prefers to always stay in his own personal “daydream”.
crazy that this song is 6 mins i always thought it was short i genuinely had no idea it was this long. Radiohead is the only band that can make songs that are long and only make them feel like 2 mins i always think they end way too soon and end up listening on a loop
I highly recommend cigarettes fter s*x if you haven't listened to any of their songs yet then you really should give it a try especially "k." and "apocalypse" I love all of their songs but these two are my favorite
"Honey?" "Yes dear...?" "Did you lock the doors, I think I just saw Thom Yorke walk through our living room" "Damn it, that's the fifth Thom Yorke this month"
We spend our lives from room to room watching others go by as we move away until we find a place for ourselves to be alone with our dreams. Then, we realize we've always been alone with our dreams.
+Hector Reguenga well that's not what it's about tho. It's about how he just divorced his wife and all the rooms are different years he was with his wife each room is one year and in the last part that was him saying half of my life because it was half of his life that he was with her.
I'm aware that TY's relationship influenced the writing of the song like how the low pitched words at the end say 'half of my life' and even in the video he goes across 23 rooms which is the amount of years the relationship lasted (TY was likely 46 when he wrote the song, half of his life). Even when drawing from personal experience there's an aspect of art that is left to grow on the audience. My personal interpretation is that he tried to extract the feeling of drifting apart from his partner (not wife since they never married) because of his 'daydreaming'. The listener may not had a romantic relationship like that, but may have, at some moment, felt isolated or alienated from being 'somewhere else' at times. There is actual research on a condition called 'maladaptive daydreaming' in which people self-hipnotize and drift off to fantasy worlds or cling to memories to avoid experiencing the pain of the 'material' world. He is using his own experience to relate to the world at large, art is not about meaning one absolute thing even if the creator wants to.
Sometimes you stumble across something that just stops you dead in your tracks. This is the best piece of music and visuals Ive discovered in months, outstanding and utterly haunting.
I was in Japan, in Takayama, experiencing the most beautiful trip of my life with my best friend. One day, returning from an excursion, I decided to take a walk in Takayama along the river under the bridges. It was raining and the sky was gray, and then this music came on. And everything seemed…magical. Like a fairy tale, like a dream that one experiences with half-closed eyelids. My feet flew above the ground, the rain ran down my cheeks, my eyes observed the waves, the gray of the mountain and the beauty of this place. And slowly, a feeling of beauty, of nostalgia, of pain from this ephemeral moment crept into my heart. One of my most beautiful memories honestly.
Matt Male yep, it is frightening. We have been programmed to accept only music that is pumped out daily. With lyrics telling us 'live for today and fook tomorrow'. Beats to shake female ass to and for men to watch, get drunk and procreate. I'm not sure why these guys haven't been assassinated. Probably because the amount of people who love them, will not get in the way of the marketing of the BS music. There will always be more unknowing people than those that know. So, it's not a threat. This has to change, life is changing and times are changing. Ignorance is not bliss, neither is it an excuse. Just heed my words, please don't attack. X
Been a huge fan of Radiohead since 1995 and their music has helped me through different emotions, but this song is helping me through my hardest time. I suffered a serious car accident a few years back losing three of my best friends and breaking my back in several places and now I'm trying to come off painkillers that I've become addicted to since then and this music is helping me through the most difficult thing I've ever experienced.. I sincerely feel for those who have to go through such withdrawal, it's not easy but I'm sure the other side will be better.
This songs comforts me so much... It's like going to bed and someone says "Sleep well, everything will be fine!" And you sleep well and wake up with hope and the feeling, that everything is fine already...
Gotta admit the comments are almost as good as the song!!! So many stories from so many people living in different parts of the world... I wish you all peace in life!
@@zackzallie8735 Did it 600 times. But the songs (instead of DAYDREAMING + PRESENT TENSE) are not as strong as most radiohead songs and the arrangements are okay but not so detailled and futuristic as before.
Dreamers They never learn They never learn Beyond the point Of no return Of no return And it's too late The damage is done The damage is done This goes Beyond me Beyond you The white room By a window Where the sun goes through And we are just happy to serve Just happy to serve you
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤🙏
I don’t think these are random places I think they are places him and his wife had been together before her passing I also don’t think the video was meant to be played normally. The video was meant to be played backwards. If you play it backwards it starts with thom saying “half of my life, half of my love. 23 years” and throughout the video it’s is him closing the doors he once opened when the video was played normally. Therefore closing the doors of the past and letting go of his wife who he had spent almost half his life with. I personally think this is one of the best videos ever created.
“Daydreaming” contains allusions to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. This is depicted in the music video, both at the beginning and end, just like the symmetry in the song. The video shows Thom walking around in his own world, not really connecting to anyone. He ends up crawling into a cave to get away from it all. It is simultaneously a way of hiding from all the bad stuff happening in the world (thus accepting it) and giving up fighting for your ideas.
+thedarkmoonman how can you relate the awarness of the platone's cave allegory with the video? There are too much things that I can't relate with the patone's allegory... I'm sorry for my bad English, but I'm Italian so...
Happy 3 years to this beautiful masterpiece of a short film / music video! Really hoping we get another PTA x Radiohead collab soon, two legends at it together!
MrTouloir you're right. Thom Yorke is both rich and famous for his beautiful works. Vincent Van Gogh never got that. VVG was also a hopeless sad sap that couldn't ever get control of his life because of mental illness. I mean that in the most respectful way. I love Van Gogh.
- 23 Doors = 23 years of marriage Thom Yorke - The image of a mother in every environmen, including Mother Earth. - 6:08 Thom says: "half of my life, half of my love" but reversed. curiously he is 47 years old and their relationship lasts 23 years. - Apparently, it's all about her love breakup - simply great!!
Yorke is such a genius. Dude, almost everytime I have a depression relapse or anxiety attack, I just listen to Radiohead and put my head back in reality
I absolutely get this. I went through a period of having random unexplained panic attacks. Turns out they were caused by a medical issue. Sometimes the only thing that would help would be throwing on Radiohead, because it "matched." Once I felt the match, I felt connected again, and the panic would subside.
Hey brother it’s the human condition and we all just have to learn how to cope and deal with life we can do it, this song is kind of like the passing of time, how fast it goes, how inevitable everyone’s Demise is. Stop daydreaming and wake up to the little moments of time that we’ll never get back. Incredible concept really
Sometimes I wonder if these guys realize how much good they've done for humanity. When I was a teenager, they took me out of the well many times. I love you, forever.
When Thom opened the final door and it reveals a stunning shot of a snow capped mountain. The song is already beautiful throughout and then it just cranks up to another level at the end. This why 'Daydreaming' will forever be one of Radiohead's classic and a classic song in the music world.
This is unlike any Radiohead song's because of its dreampop composition, and sampled atmosphere that reflects epiphanies and allusions that the person is having.
This song keeps growing in my heart and this have happened so many times in my life thanks to this band. I really love how Radiohead never delivers it all in the first listening.
It's an amazing song. First half is normal, then they throw in some vocals in reverse. Then, they are replaced by a horn section replicating those random reveresed lyrics, followed by Thom Yorke's slowed down, rewound vocals to the end. Bizarre, but brilliant. This is their best work since Kid A.
I used to listen to this song when it came out, as a departure from a romantic relationship. But when she passed away, I've unlocked this other meaning: the fact that probably she would have gone forever, and it happened. So sad, but so true and heartfelt too. I hope Thom is doing good enough with that. When you lose someone you can't reach anymore, is something bearely understandable.
Radiohead makes such sublime music. Not a single guitar chord is heard here. No drums. And it's still pulled off with sublime execution and with such raw emotion.
good acting too. Watch for the eye twitch. He has the same twitch I have had a few times, when I'm trying and nothing is going right and nobody understands.
@@atomic4650 sometimes people's brains don't make the right chemicals, it can usually be treated but there are people with chronic depression that never goes away no matter what they try
In the many years that I have, I have listened to a variety of music, but the work of Radiohead and exactly this song Daydreaming made me realize that they are my number one in music. Radiohead is a masterpiece in itself.
I owe my life to this band not even joking I was suicidal in like 2014 and then again in 2016 both occasions I decided to listen to my favorite band Radiohead one last time, each time I ended up in tears seeing how beautiful the world was through Radiohead. There is really no band like Radiohead their sound is incredible, and for that I'm forever grateful Also why im getting a Radiohead tattoo this Thursday;) (Update: got the Amnesiac figure tattood and I love it!)
this track is bringing me to whole another level of existence. its literally the feeling of being a flower and experiencing the cycle of its life. this is extremely beautiful. thank you, radiohead for this masterpiece.
At the end he's saying "half my life" backwards. The video seems to corroborate the idea that he's talking about his separation from Rachel Owen. The video appears to show him walking through all the facets of his life thus far, with him notably "going up" and changing homes, locations, vacations to the beach, hospital visits both the maternity ward and emergency room. It's really a brilliant song and video that accompanies it. In the end, he's alone in his cold, dark, cave with nothing but a small fire to keep him warm.
+ace101ification I feel like that's gonna be kind of impossible with half the arrangements. Definitely not gonna get most of the tracks like Glass Eyes or The Numbers.
What is it about Radiohead songs and videos that makes me want to give Thom a big hug and look him in the eyes and say "we love you Thom, and you're going to be alright"?
This made me think about the Allegory of the cave, by Plato. It's about some prisoners who have been in a cave since their childhood, and they are forced to look at a wall in front of them. Behind them there was some people walking and a fire, so they thought that shadows in the wall were real. Then they walked from the cave to the outside and saw how the real world was. I've been thinking about it, and I have a theory. Thom is just another prisoner who escaped from the cave, but then he realized how horrible the world was and returned to his own cave. It's like the real world is a nightmare, I just don't know.
+Cydonian Vlogger Your comment made me think of The Burrow by Kafka. You made me think this song is about the mind which is discordant with the reality in the way similar to that fiction.
beautifully said friend. That's what makes Thom such a treasure, to stir these things in us that we don't see, maybe him to. But the river that passes through his mind flows through ours as a result.
+Mike Anderson TKOL is amazing live. Listening to their "Live From The Basement" performance really made the album come alive for me. The songs are really good, they just don't come across as well on the actual album for some reason.
+Mike Anderson I loved the King of Limbs :))) A lot of their stuff 'bums you out' This one made me cry this track on first listen. I'm want 'The Pyramid Song' played at my funeral.
i always imagine this song playing as i'm dying, as everything i've done in life flashes before me and i'm slowly losing consciousness, slowly letting go of everything, the pain i've harbored, the trauma i've endured, just everything. this song will always make me cry. it's beautiful, absolutely goddamn beautiful.
My husband used to sing this song out loud in our kitchen. He was a musician and a big big fan of Radiohead. He died at 32 years old, our baby was 7 months old, I walked outside in our backyard to find him laying there, he was gone, his soul was gone. He was laying right next to the fire that he had started to burn some branches. He hated his job that payed our bills, he felt trapped in his cubicle. He dreamed of playing music, traveling the world, hiking mountains...but he died at 32 right next to the fire, in front of me and our baby. The damage is done. The damage is done.
Aimee Parisot i'm so sorry to hear that. your husband sounded like a wonderful person, and i'm positive his soul was beautiful. It's painful to lose someone so close and dear to you, it feels like your world is crashing and ending in a fiery haze, but the pain won't last for too long. cherish the beautiful time you had spent together and the baby you two had brought into this world, share memories with them, show pictures, laugh, cry, and tell them stories of who he was. He may be physically gone but he is always with you and your child.
This is what I imagine death is like. Walking through the doors of each and every single moment of your life, literally and figuratively, reliving all of it until you finally reach your real home. This video and song are so comforting for me
I think in order to appreciate the beauty of this band you really have to open yourself up emotionally to music. My father has great taste in music and grew up on bands like zeppelin and kiss and then later bands like Pearl Jam and the black crowes, etc. But for some reason I feel like he only likes music if it’s music that “rocks.” He seems scared to let a song affect him emotionally. I feel like this is why he is close minded about bands like Radiohead. I hope one day he will understand the greatness of this band.
Yeah, there are a lot of people in his boat I feel. Don't know if it's because their tastes have solidified so much or they're scared to be vulnerable or something else, but music like this can be a tough sell. Once you get it though, oh man, it hits like nothing else.
not everyone has to like everything, zeppelin and pearl jam has some pretty emotional stuff too. there is a difference in being close minded and not having the same musical taste that you have.
I didn’t know who the director was, but when I read your comment, I immediately decided to look in the description and when I saw that it was PTA, I just 🤭😮 because he’s my favourite too
PTA and Radiohead have collaborated a lot, PTA's directed some of Radiohead's more recent music videos, PTA also did Anima with Thom, and Jonny's done quite a few of PTA's scores
I'm 22 and just discovered Radiohead (yes, I know), and I've listened to this song like 20 times today. The raw emotion, I can't get enough. This makes me feel the serenity that comes after accepting sadness. There's something restful about allowing yourself to grieve a loss.
There aren't many bands that are almost as successful today as they were before you were born, that's how special they are. One of the very few 21st century artists that aren't completely fleeting.
I'd be honored if some Radiohead fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal covers of HIGH & DRY and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the most forward-thinking 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
I just can’t stop thinking of my high school when I watch this. It was a very painful stage in my life. Everyone avoided me as if I was nothing. Completely invisible. I always smiled and did what I was told until I got to the point I just couldn’t function. During class I’d always be in my own world. In my head. The more I got picked on the more I wanted to stay in my little quiet world. It was my comfort. I could do whatever I wished and wouldn’t be judged. I escaped from them for a bit until it got worse to the point I couldn’t eat or sleep. I was so scared to go to school the next day but I knew when I got home I could speak my own little language that only I could understand
Greatest band ever. It’s weird, their music is really sad and depressive but when I listen it makes me happy. I discovered them in 95 and never stopped listening.
To me, ı can't say that it makes me sad or happy. Radiohead makes me feel comfortable in myself. I can feel sadness or happiness at the same time. İt makes me peaceful i think ...
Considering they’re deemed the Alienation Band why do so many feel connected to them and other fans? A mystery. I think it’s just the stimulation of braincells...most of current culture just pops mine which is why i have several firey caves 🔥 dotted around...i keep a sandpit nearby too to bury my head in.
There's a friend who's grandfather has been having a very tough go along with his dementia, but one of the few things that helps him go on through his day is the power of music. The elderly man loves hearing Radiohead, his memories of everyone else may be fading. But he he fondly remembers many of the lyrics of many Radiohead songs, he even tries to sing with the songs when he can. There are moments he may forget who I am, but he remembers me as the jukebox guy when I put on something for him to relax to.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, yet somehow comforting to return to... there's a quality of being held by the music and carried by the visual flow somehow. Thank you for creating this virtual space and shared journey for all of us.
to really get the full experience of this song you need to stay awake for more than 24 hours.... put some headphones on and shut your tired eyes as you listen. it is a trip.
matty543210098 Agreed. its actually how I first experienced the tune. I just learned today that there's a video for it and it's actually distracting. lol
There are doors that open by themselves There are sliding doors And there are secret doors There are doors that lock And doors that don't There are doors that let you in And out But never open But they are trapdoors That you can't come back from
Just that part from 5:00 onwards, I keep rewinding it, over and over again. As he lay down, wanting to get away to a safe place. So beautiful. It's exactly what I want to do, to just pretty much get lost.
All that endless wandering...going through door after door. A fleeting glimpse of a young girl running by, then closing herself in her room. Finally he makes it to the top of the mountain, and all there is to do is crawl into a damp cave and take a moments rest. Does anyone know what is he saying ? Is it backwards or just super slow?
To me this video is about how many doors we open throughout our lives without ever questioning where they actually take us. There are doors of regret, doors of mundane insignificance , doors of sweet moments, doors of anger. We think we’ve gone to a place further than where we started. But we are just back at zero, like it shows at the end of the video.
the smart and sarcastic comments kind of make me sad and regret writing my original comment. I'll try to ignore them though. I haven't looked back at what I said in over a year. I probably should've kept it that way.
I was in a bar in Florida and they had an empty piano sitting there. In walked a very large Russian guy speaking broken English and he asked the bartender if he could play the piano. He started playing popular show tunes and no one was really paying attention to him . He seen me looking at him and he said to me what would you like to hear and I said I'm sure you don't know the music that I like and he replied try me. I said Radiohead. He started with this song, Daydreaming, and played about 10 songs by Radiohead before he left. I asked the bartender who he was and he said I have no idea I've never seen him before. It was great almost like a ghost walked in played Radiohead and then disappeared. It was an interesting night that I enjoyed immensely.
Thank you for sharing that
What a nice story! Thank you :)
Interesting
You said the same thing at no surprises...
You said that he started with 'no surprises'
Probably important to know that in 2015 he and his partner of 23 years split. She passed of cancer in 2016. The year this album was released. He was going through the deepest grief. She was gone. He and his children were left to mourn. It puts this album into focus.
Watch the video again. He is searching everywhere, through every door, in a hospital, ends back up in a home and there is a woman there reading a newspaper ...notice all the times he goes back into this house...looking for that which is lost. When he opens the last door he is in the snow, into a cave. And he has no discernible language to describe it. That’s grief.
That explains everything.
Thank you.
the discernible language is "half of my life" reversed
He happens to walk through 23 doors in this video =23 years. and the last part of the song says "Half of my life." backwards. FYI
Thanks for this explanation, I had no idea and this makes the video even deeper feeling and more profound. Radiohead and PTA are a match made in heaven, they definitely "get" each other.
Thom Yorke is probably one of the most gifted musicians of this century
yup... literally everything he does now is gold... it's pretty stunning... imo
I think Jonny Greenwood is even better, great movie scores too
@@dtunes7pt phil selways solo albums are also beautiful and highly underrated imo
@@dtunes7pt I know right? I feel like Thom Yorke gets all the credit cause he is the frontman, but since we are talking about a band so we should give credit to all the band members
@@johnlemmon6660 Not taking merits from Thom, excelent voice and lyrics, individualy I prefer Jonny, though fully agreed with you, Radiohead is what it is because of all their members, and most bands are like thatm maybe NIN is a one man band example..
this song doesn’t feel like I’m listening to it it feels like it’s happening to me
That's the best description ever!
@@HotelAVJobs thank you, i feel this way about most of Kid A, too
I had a feeling I couldn't describe when I first heard this song and it is exactly that
Tommy Why So, sorry to tell you and I get you don't understand, but it is happening to you. Thom's character is dreaming back in time to our present tense; a Mal-adaptive Daydream (look it up). His "dream" begins in a man made cave surrounded by shadows of people but ends in a natural cave alone surrounded shadows of flames. He ends in the fetal position just like he did when I was a little boy in the video "Just". He is alone because the only food is other people, and if you recall from Kid A's "Idioteque", "the women and children would be first" and he'd "swallow until he burst". This dream is to see "everything in its right place", because everything has been swallowed by the sea. Ice Age coming.
It feels like it’s listening to me.
This is actually what daydreaming feels like. You don't look at faces or the places you go, you don't pay any attention at all in the world around you. You open doors and pass lonely and crowded places and yet the only thing that travels through your head is your own thoughts. So the ending is like you finally find the place you were always searching to find or you weren't even searching, you just walked and the place found you.
beautiful

I lost my wife a year ago and I can't breathe sometimes because of the pain. All of her clothes are still in our bedroom closet. I sleep in my stepson's old room sometimes. One day I had a wife and a son, the next day I lost everything. There is this silly part of me that hopes she will knock on the front door and say it was all a sick joke.

This is like a reverse Allegory of the cave. He's seen everything, gone through all stages in life. He's gone as far as he needed to go and he gains nothing from being outside. He is still alone, so rather than be outside in the cold lonely world, he chooses to go back into the cave and stare directly into the fire; only because it's more comfortable, to daydream.

AMSP is definitely in my top 3. Only beaten by Kid A and then In Rainbows.
@@Christian-97 AMSP is the most texturally brilliant and creative, I think - the songs are all extremely creative. Kid A is very close, but I like the latter as an album more.
@@Christian-97 easily their top 3 best records. I’m glad we agree. Kid A would be my number 1 and AMSP my 2nd. In Rainbows is 3rd for me. A Moon Shaped Pool is undoubtedly their most seamless record in my opinion, it flows like magic, while Kid A is intentionally fragmented, and In Rainbows’ is collage-like.
@@kyleplatz3751 In retrospect, AMSP is now my second fav album and Kid A is now my third favorite. I didn't get the hype at first when I first listened to it, but now I absolutely love it.
P.S: Seems we have different takes on the flow of the respective albums, I always thought that AMSP didn't flow well because of the "fast paced song first and slow ballad song next" thing the whole album has going on, same with the first half of Kid A, while the second half flows greatly. I think In Rainbows has the best flow of all of them.
@@Christian-97 Interesting! I find AMSP has this very meander-y dreamlike quality to it. I’ve always thought the tracklist just flows so beautifully, it’s almost like a stream, each track just melts into the next one (for me at least). I’ve always thought In Rainbows has some jarring moments, particularly the transition from the growl-y “All I Need” to the plucky, folksy “Faust Arp”. Still, love them all so much haha.
This song is grief for me, I listened to it while going through the biggest trauma in my life and it helps me cope. I'm so thankful to Thom for creating music
Let Down really helped me, as well as Airbag and There, There. There’s so many others, but those stand out. I recommend Sail to the Moon, as it’s a mellow song like Daydreaming.

She's slamming the door. Parts of the video seem to be mostly about parenthood - mainly about motherhood - if you remember anything about your childhood (or parenthood) (this is to say, in quite many cases, but not all, of course), it's typically one of the hardest bits: the child slamming the door on the parent to be alone while the parent just wanted the best for them and they don't understand it yet. A lot of the imagery during the song's video refers to motherhood as well as parenthood and "over achiever" struggles, or general struggles if you don't just consider a rat race for money fulfilling, even though we all do it. Throughout the video you actually see a combination of references to motherhood and to the albums that Radiohead have done - which I suppose is a culmination of Thom's struggle to make sense of where he should belong in this world.

You should have paid attention to lock the door
To me, this song/video represents one of the great tragedies of humankind. In the video, we can see Thom is looking for something. We don't know what that something is (and probably neither does Thom) but nonetheless he relentlessly pursues it, opening door after door.
The places he ends up in are fairly random in nature, alluding to the idea that very rarely does the outcome of our decisions match our expectations. It's one thing to imagine (daydream) about a better future, but it's another thing to actually live it. Rather than ending up somewhere better, you just end up somewhere else. And the thing you're chasing feels no closer than it did when you started. But you continue the chase anyway because well... "dreamers, they never learn".
This continual process of running away from the past and bargaining with the future is what has got us to where we are today. It's given us running water, cures to terrible diseases and the technology that allows me to share these thoughts with all of you. But make no mistake, we pay a heavy price for this, and it comes in the form of suffering.
An endless suffering that wakes up with you in the morning, follows you throughout your day, goes to bed with you at night and haunts you in your dreams while you sleep. It never goes away.
Towards the end, the music changes to a solemn tone. He's running out of time. He quickens his pace and desperately moves from door to door. But despite his efforts, the thing he seeks never reveals itself. Finally he arrives at a mountain. Death, in the form of a monstrous voice beckons him from the distance. Thom knows his time is up. Instead of running, he climbs the mountain to confront the monster that has taken so much from him throughout his life. But when he finally tracks it to it's cave, he realises that there is no monster. And as he lies down by the warm, cosy fire that welcomes him, he smiles as he realises his suffering is finally over.
This song doesn't offer us an answer to this problem. It simply acknowledges its existence and the role it plays in our everyday lives. But in doing so, it reminds people like me that I'm not alone in this struggle, that everyone experiences it. Consciously or not. And for reasons I'm not sure about, that makes it hurt less. As the saying goes "A problem shared is a problem halved". I hope In sharing this with us, Thom has alleviated some of that suffering for himself too.
Appreciate your depth of character with a comment like this...
Wow. This was intense and def made me cry. It's a realization.
Wow man.... you really are very receptive person...just i feel something different at the end of video...when I see the little campfire inside a freeze mountain i thing maybe it's hope....a little burn still flaming maybe it's what's Tom looking since beginning, he open many doors one after other one he ups stairs again and again open gates he walks through room by room..looking for hope....and finally he find it and sleeps tired whispering some words...my god what's Tom saying?
I think you are completely and absolutely correct, such an amazing interpretation of this song and video!
At the beginning I connected the dots between your comment and another one, which explains his vital issue around the loss of his ex-wife, whom he cheated on and even got to divorce. But after that process, she got cancer and passed away 💔 so the lyrics make even more sense to me if they talk about grief, loneliness and desperation for all those years (23 years = 23doors) wandering and losing the track of what is meaningful for him. It's like he filmed this after realising how unfruitful his journey after "the unknown" (another romance, greatness, professional recognition) has been whe he sings "Dreamers, they never learn". Until everything that he took for granted has finally disappeared ("And it's too late, the damage is done")

This just crushes my heart and head with talent and creativity.
At the beginning, he was slowing pacing through the doors. He even smiled once when he was in a crowded area( a fake mask in front of others/ hiding grief). Then his pace started becoming quicker and more urgent. He preferred walking in the sunlight because it made him feel less lost in his mind. His face throughout all of it screams that he wants to cry out and yell his feelings to everyone but he can’t. His bottled up emotions are evident in his red eyes and twitching lips. He prefers to go out to nature. At first the beach, but no, that place is too crowded. So he ends up in a mountain full of snow. A mountain that describes his feelings: emptiness, cold, pale, unknown. He goes into a cave, a rather small one, contrasting to the massive mountain. It is only then that he opens his mouth and talks. He talks to himself in the small part of his mind where no one is present and no one is aware of the cave’s presence. He talks in a way only he can understand.
This endless loop of going through door to door is reminiscent of the stages of grief. He is stuck in a stage before the 5th and final one: acceptance. He isn’t willing to accept the death of a loved one so he walks away from everyone, puts up a facade in front of others, and doesn’t want to face reality. He wants to go somewhere where his feelings can be accepted. He can’t let anyone know about his unwillingness to forget so he goes to the fire in the cave. And lets out his words to burn. No one will ever know about his struggle because he burned it all in his head. The only problem is that the wound and ashes remained will only be felt by him. He doesn’t want to forget this ever. He prefers to always stay in his own personal “daydream”.
Wonderful
👍

crazy that this song is 6 mins i always thought it was short i genuinely had no idea it was this long. Radiohead is the only band that can make songs that are long and only make them feel like 2 mins i always think they end way too soon and end up listening on a loop

We spend our lives from room to room watching others go by as we move away until we find a place for ourselves to be alone with our dreams. Then, we realize we've always been alone with our dreams.
Nice quote.
If you think that's what the song is about I think your wrong.
That's my interpretation of the video, not the song itself. What's your take on it?
+Hector Reguenga well that's not what it's about tho. It's about how he just divorced his wife and all the rooms are different years he was with his wife each room is one year and in the last part that was him saying half of my life because it was half of his life that he was with her.
I'm aware that TY's relationship influenced the writing of the song like how the low pitched words at the end say 'half of my life' and even in the video he goes across 23 rooms which is the amount of years the relationship lasted (TY was likely 46 when he wrote the song, half of his life). Even when drawing from personal experience there's an aspect of art that is left to grow on the audience. My personal interpretation is that he tried to extract the feeling of drifting apart from his partner (not wife since they never married) because of his 'daydreaming'. The listener may not had a romantic relationship like that, but may have, at some moment, felt isolated or alienated from being 'somewhere else' at times. There is actual research on a condition called 'maladaptive daydreaming' in which people self-hipnotize and drift off to fantasy worlds or cling to memories to avoid experiencing the pain of the 'material' world. He is using his own experience to relate to the world at large, art is not about meaning one absolute thing even if the creator wants to.

I was in Japan, in Takayama, experiencing the most beautiful trip of my life with my best friend. One day, returning from an excursion, I decided to take a walk in Takayama along the river under the bridges. It was raining and the sky was gray, and then this music came on. And everything seemed…magical. Like a fairy tale, like a dream that one experiences with half-closed eyelids. My feet flew above the ground, the rain ran down my cheeks, my eyes observed the waves, the gray of the mountain and the beauty of this place. And slowly, a feeling of beauty, of nostalgia, of pain from this ephemeral moment crept into my heart. One of my most beautiful memories honestly.

Music can't be this real. It's frightening.
Matt Male yep, it is frightening. We have been programmed to accept only music that is pumped out daily. With lyrics telling us 'live for today and fook tomorrow'. Beats to shake female ass to and for men to watch, get drunk and procreate.
I'm not sure why these guys haven't been assassinated. Probably because the amount of people who love them, will not get in the way of the marketing of the BS music. There will always be more unknowing people than those that know. So, it's not a threat.
This has to change, life is changing and times are changing. Ignorance is not bliss, neither is it an excuse.
Just heed my words, please don't attack. X
then hear Johannes Sebastian Bach, you will never be the same.
fuck is wrong with you
It's rare to have music this real, but it's a good thing. That's why there are many goods and not as many greats.
You're fucked up in the head lady. Music is expressed anyway someone feels it should be expressed. Who the fuck are you to judge?
Been a huge fan of Radiohead since 1995 and their music has helped me through different emotions, but this song is helping me through my hardest time. I suffered a serious car accident a few years back losing three of my best friends and breaking my back in several places and now I'm trying to come off painkillers that I've become addicted to since then and this music is helping me through the most difficult thing I've ever experienced.. I sincerely feel for those who have to go through such withdrawal, it's not easy but I'm sure the other side will be better.

@@zackzallie8735 Did it 600 times. But the songs (instead of DAYDREAMING + PRESENT TENSE) are not as strong as most radiohead songs and the arrangements are okay but not so detailled and futuristic as before.

Rest in peace Rachel Owen. Inspiration for many of these songs which touch millions. A light gone too soon.
Many of us would like to know the story, the timeline. Of their split relative to the disease.
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤🙏
Sorry to hear that. What other music did he share?
I'm so sorry for your loss.
My dad passed away 10 months ago..looks like yesterday😔
Posers like you.... I swear
Great dad ❤ RIP
I don’t think these are random places I think they are places him and his wife had been together before her passing
I also don’t think the video was meant to be played normally. The video was meant to be played backwards. If you play it backwards it starts with thom saying “half of my life, half of my love. 23 years” and throughout the video it’s is him closing the doors he once opened when the video was played normally. Therefore closing the doors of the past and letting go of his wife who he had spent almost half his life with. I personally think this is one of the best videos ever created.
So the music is about him grieving ?
Taylor, thank you for providing that clarity.
Well done.
@@caralho5237 the video was posted before her death actually, must be more about grieving the relationship
AUroRA BoReAliS The whole album was released before her death.
@@bradoozy yes I know, I've been on wikipedia
“Daydreaming” contains allusions to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. This is depicted in the music video, both at the beginning and end, just like the symmetry in the song. The video shows Thom walking around in his own world, not really connecting to anyone. He ends up crawling into a cave to get away from it all. It is simultaneously a way of hiding from all the bad stuff happening in the world (thus accepting it) and giving up fighting for your ideas.
Thank you for explaining it. Very good description.
+Luigi The pen is mightier than the sword.
+thedarkmoonman You are ripping off descriptions/comments from Genius. Think for yourself.
Boo Hoo
+thedarkmoonman
how can you relate the awarness of the platone's cave allegory with the video?
There are too much things that I can't relate with the patone's allegory...
I'm sorry for my bad English, but I'm Italian so...
Happy 3 years to this beautiful masterpiece of a short film / music video! Really hoping we get another PTA x Radiohead collab soon, two legends at it together!
wow didnt' realise it's been 3 years!
YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. NETFLIX, JUNE 27TH.
The video is directed by the person who is nominated 8 times for Oscar, no wonder - Paul Thomas Anderson
holy shit, you predicted it
5 years tomorrow! :D
Thom Yorke is like the Vincent Van Gogh of music.
You just made me love Radiohead even more than I did
David Guilmour.....
Thom is already popular in his lifetime, so not really ^^
MrTouloir you're right. Thom Yorke is both rich and famous for his beautiful works. Vincent Van Gogh never got that. VVG was also a hopeless sad sap that couldn't ever get control of his life because of mental illness. I mean that in the most respectful way. I love Van Gogh.
Enzo Ferretti i think Gilmour its more like a Gustav Klimt
- 23 Doors = 23 years of marriage Thom Yorke
- The image of a mother in every environmen, including Mother Earth.
- 6:08 Thom says: "half of my life, half of my love" but reversed. curiously he is 47 years old and their relationship lasts 23 years.
- Apparently, it's all about her love breakup
- simply great!!
franco melo inserting mindblown gif
jjajajajaj
curiously his marriage ended up last year, 46 years
Thom Yorke and Rachel Owen were never married.
That's not true.
Yorke is such a genius. Dude, almost everytime I have a depression relapse or anxiety attack, I just listen to Radiohead and put my head back in reality
I'm much the other way around- if I want a depression relapse- which is nice sometimes I listen to Radiohead
I absolutely get this. I went through a period of having random unexplained panic attacks. Turns out they were caused by a medical issue. Sometimes the only thing that would help would be throwing on Radiohead, because it "matched." Once I felt the match, I felt connected again, and the panic would subside.
Hey brother it’s the human condition and we all just have to learn how to cope and deal with life we can do it, this song is kind of like the passing of time, how fast it goes, how inevitable everyone’s Demise is. Stop daydreaming and wake up to the little moments of time that we’ll never get back. Incredible concept really
I bet half of us here are only still here because we're here. Trippy.
radiohead is my go to when i'm depressed. i feel seen.
Sometimes I wonder if these guys realize how much good they've done for humanity. When I was a teenager, they took me out of the well many times. I love you, forever.
When Thom opened the final door and it reveals a stunning shot of a snow capped mountain. The song is already beautiful throughout and then it just cranks up to another level at the end. This why 'Daydreaming' will forever be one of Radiohead's classic and a classic song in the music world.
Best shot of the entire video.
+MrBonniesdaddy but kid a itself isn't that original. A lot of them sound styles were done before
This is unlike any Radiohead song's because of its dreampop composition, and sampled atmosphere that reflects epiphanies and allusions that the person is having.
Anyone got the feeling of the movie inception? I got the same vibes watching this.
+Tenshi more like The Adjustment Bureau to be honest.
This song keeps growing in my heart and this have happened so many times in my life thanks to this band. I really love how Radiohead never delivers it all in the first listening.
It's an amazing song. First half is normal, then they throw in some vocals in reverse. Then, they are replaced by a horn section replicating those random reveresed lyrics, followed by Thom Yorke's slowed down, rewound vocals to the end.
Bizarre, but brilliant.
This is their best work since Kid A.
This entire album keeps growing in my heart evey time I listen to it...Genius!!
So true
+Ginger c you are right
yup..it's like ,you just cannot take all from once..we are only humans..and they are not
Rest in peace Rachel Owen. :(
I used to listen to this song when it came out, as a departure from a romantic relationship. But when she passed away, I've unlocked this other meaning: the fact that probably she would have gone forever, and it happened. So sad, but so true and heartfelt too. I hope Thom is doing good enough with that. When you lose someone you can't reach anymore, is something bearely understandable.
One thing i just can’t fathom is how…good Thom looks. And how beautiful this music video is.
I did not like this song the first several times I heard it. Now I can see it’s easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written
Radiohead makes such sublime music. Not a single guitar chord is heard here. No drums. And it's still pulled off with sublime execution and with such raw emotion.
Hi I Recommend a song and video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

Been looking for this comment.
priceless comment
Thom Yorke is a genius that made millions from his own arch enemy - the depression.
I'm glad he is still trying to fight it till this day.
Aren’t we all, somehow he turned it upside down and made money out of it!
He'll always be battling it, it stays with you forever.. You just need to adapt unfortunately
Trickbop that’s not true though
@@atomic4650 it can be for a lot of people
@@atomic4650 sometimes people's brains don't make the right chemicals, it can usually be treated but there are people with chronic depression that never goes away no matter what they try
In the many years that I have, I have listened to a variety of music, but the work of Radiohead and exactly this song Daydreaming made me realize that they are my number one in music.
Radiohead is a masterpiece in itself.
I love Phil Selway's work in this
😂
+Marina Araujo yeah that's really fucking hilarious
😂
Actually I think Clive Deamer's work outshines his on this track. He is a great addition to the band.
+Gianluca Borsato 😅😅
I owe my life to this band not even joking
I was suicidal in like 2014 and then again in 2016 both occasions I decided to listen to my favorite band Radiohead one last time, each time I ended up in tears seeing how beautiful the world was through Radiohead. There is really no band like Radiohead their sound is incredible, and for that I'm forever grateful
Also why im getting a Radiohead tattoo this Thursday;)
(Update: got the Amnesiac figure tattood and I love it!)

this track is bringing me to whole another level of existence. its literally the feeling of being a flower and experiencing the cycle of its life. this is extremely beautiful. thank you, radiohead for this masterpiece.
Nice metaphor
I can understand people not digging this song, but this is the best crafted song I've ever heard
It's fucking depressing
Nah its moving not depressing.
This great song reminds me of the wonderful Ólafur Arnalds works with Arnór Dan.
+CaveWang It's both really. A depressing feel, but moving music. I feel the lyrics are perfect here.
I listened to it. It is shit. What's your point?
At the end he's saying "half my life" backwards. The video seems to corroborate the idea that he's talking about his separation from Rachel Owen. The video appears to show him walking through all the facets of his life thus far, with him notably "going up" and changing homes, locations, vacations to the beach, hospital visits both the maternity ward and emergency room.
It's really a brilliant song and video that accompanies it. In the end, he's alone in his cold, dark, cave with nothing but a small fire to keep him warm.
He said "Half of my life, half of my love".
He only says half of my life
oh God....
he says "I've found my love" reversed!
you can find it in the official lyrics!
She died last 18, present month.
that's sad.
I can't wait for a moon shaped pool, live in the basement.
+ace101ification totally feel the same way!
+ace101ification I feel like that's gonna be kind of impossible with half the arrangements. Definitely not gonna get most of the tracks like Glass Eyes or The Numbers.
Ohh yes! Love their basement stuff, wish they would put them on album,, I love scotch mist. Was a New Years version of rainbows
+sillyfatmoocow I loved all the basement stuff and seriously cannot wait for this album to be apart of it.
I think the basement stuff is better then the actual mainstream stuff,
What is it about Radiohead songs and videos that makes me want to give Thom a big hug and look him in the eyes and say "we love you Thom, and you're going to be alright"?
This made me think about the Allegory of the cave, by Plato. It's about some prisoners who have been in a cave since their childhood, and they are forced to look at a wall in front of them. Behind them there was some people walking and a fire, so they thought that shadows in the wall were real. Then they walked from the cave to the outside and saw how the real world was.
I've been thinking about it, and I have a theory. Thom is just another prisoner who escaped from the cave, but then he realized how horrible the world was and returned to his own cave. It's like the real world is a nightmare, I just don't know.
+Cydonian Vlogger Your comment made me think of The Burrow by Kafka. You made me think this song is about the mind which is discordant with the reality in the way similar to that fiction.
beautifully said friend. That's what makes Thom such a treasure, to stir these things in us that we don't see, maybe him to. But the river that passes through his mind flows through ours as a result.

+Mike Anderson TKOL is amazing live. Listening to their "Live From The Basement" performance really made the album come alive for me. The songs are really good, they just don't come across as well on the actual album for some reason.
+Mike Anderson I loved the King of Limbs :)))
A lot of their stuff 'bums you out'
This one made me cry this track on first listen.
I'm want 'The Pyramid Song' played at my funeral.
i always imagine this song playing as i'm dying, as everything i've done in life flashes before me and i'm slowly losing consciousness, slowly letting go of everything, the pain i've harbored, the trauma i've endured, just everything.
this song will always make me cry. it's beautiful, absolutely goddamn beautiful.
My husband used to sing this song out loud in our kitchen. He was a musician and a big big fan of Radiohead. He died at 32 years old, our baby was 7 months old, I walked outside in our backyard to find him laying there, he was gone, his soul was gone. He was laying right next to the fire that he had started to burn some branches. He hated his job that payed our bills, he felt trapped in his cubicle. He dreamed of playing music, traveling the world, hiking mountains...but he died at 32 right next to the fire, in front of me and our baby. The damage is done. The damage is done.
Aimee Parisot i'm so sorry to hear that. your husband sounded like a wonderful person, and i'm positive his soul was beautiful. It's painful to lose someone so close and dear to you, it feels like your world is crashing and ending in a fiery haze, but the pain won't last for too long. cherish the beautiful time you had spent together and the baby you two had brought into this world, share memories with them, show pictures, laugh, cry, and tell them stories of who he was. He may be physically gone but he is always with you and your child.
This gave me goosebumps
@@aimeeparisot2056 thank you for sharing that maam, we will all meet again in the next chapter
Aimée you have just broke my heart. I'm so sorry :'(
This is what I imagine death is like. Walking through the doors of each and every single moment of your life, literally and figuratively, reliving all of it until you finally reach your real home. This video and song are so comforting for me
I think in order to appreciate the beauty of this band you really have to open yourself up emotionally to music. My father has great taste in music and grew up on bands like zeppelin and kiss and then later bands like Pearl Jam and the black crowes, etc. But for some reason I feel like he only likes music if it’s music that “rocks.” He seems scared to let a song affect him emotionally. I feel like this is why he is close minded about bands like Radiohead. I hope one day he will understand the greatness of this band.
Interesting. Yea it's generational conditioning. Programming a baseline.. Radiohead sounds whiney and emo to rock people. I respect that too.
Yeah, there are a lot of people in his boat I feel. Don't know if it's because their tastes have solidified so much or they're scared to be vulnerable or something else, but music like this can be a tough sell. Once you get it though, oh man, it hits like nothing else.
same exact situation here. im pissed they were hidden from me!!
not everyone has to like everything, zeppelin and pearl jam has some pretty emotional stuff too. there is a difference in being close minded and not having the same musical taste that you have.
Sometimes it can be the smallest little event in someones life that can cause stuff like this, it's quite interesting and amazing really.
When your favourite filmmaker directs a music video of your favourite band.
I didn’t know who the director was, but when I read your comment, I immediately decided to look in the description and when I saw that it was PTA, I just 🤭😮
because he’s my favourite too
Thom also did the score on "There Will Be Bood"
@@bryanludloff1550 Close but no, Jonny did it, Thom did the Suspiria soundtrack
PTA and Radiohead have collaborated a lot, PTA's directed some of Radiohead's more recent music videos, PTA also did Anima with Thom, and Jonny's done quite a few of PTA's scores
They did shortfilm together called Anima its amazing
This is not music. This is an experience. This is BEING.
Pretty sure it’s music bro 😂
@@jamesbarker8328 only true Radiohead fans will get it.
@@jamesbarker8328 get out of here.
yes that's exactly what I wanted to say! :D
Ok
This song is reminiscent of the sorrow and grief I felt when my father passed away. Absolutely beautiful. I wish you all the best.
I'm 22 and just discovered Radiohead (yes, I know), and I've listened to this song like 20 times today. The raw emotion, I can't get enough.
This makes me feel the serenity that comes after accepting sadness. There's something restful about allowing yourself to grieve a loss.
There aren't many bands that are almost as successful today as they were before you were born, that's how special they are. One of the very few 21st century artists that aren't completely fleeting.
I was 25 and discovered them
I'd be honored if some Radiohead fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal covers of HIGH & DRY and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the most forward-thinking 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
Check out Idioteque, Pyramid song and Spinning plates. Their best songs imo
Welcome to the club , you're in it for life now !
I just can’t stop thinking of my high school when I watch this. It was a very painful stage in my life. Everyone avoided me as if I was nothing. Completely invisible. I always smiled and did what I was told until I got to the point I just couldn’t function. During class I’d always be in my own world. In my head. The more I got picked on the more I wanted to stay in my little quiet world. It was my comfort. I could do whatever I wished and wouldn’t be judged. I escaped from them for a bit until it got worse to the point I couldn’t eat or sleep. I was so scared to go to school the next day but I knew when I got home I could speak my own little language that only I could understand
Hi I Recommend a song Called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I wish you the best, my friend!
you'll be good someday

Greatest band ever. It’s weird, their music is really sad and depressive but when I listen it makes me happy. I discovered them in 95 and never stopped listening.
It’s ageless!
Was it the bends that you discovered
i guess it’s catharsis. knowing someone feels as sad as you means you’re not alone. there is hope.
To me, ı can't say that it makes me sad or happy. Radiohead makes me feel comfortable in myself. I can feel sadness or happiness at the same time. İt makes me peaceful i think
...
Considering they’re deemed the Alienation Band why do so many feel connected to them and other fans? A mystery. I think it’s just the stimulation of braincells...most of current culture just pops mine which is why i have several firey caves 🔥 dotted around...i keep a sandpit nearby too to bury my head in.
There's a friend who's grandfather has been having a very tough go along with his dementia, but one of the few things that helps him go on through his day is the power of music. The elderly man loves hearing Radiohead, his memories of everyone else may be fading. But he he fondly remembers many of the lyrics of many Radiohead songs, he even tries to sing with the songs when he can. There are moments he may forget who I am, but he remembers me as the jukebox guy when I put on something for him to relax to.
This song is much sadder now... RIP Rachel.
Luis Márquez This might be a little late. May she rest in peace
This is actually one of their best produced songs. Anyone else agree?
Burn the witch 🤔
I guess you thank Nigel Godrich for that
It's a spectacular song, but the piano sounds like a loudness war victim to me.
Menvajea a moon shaped pool really requires your full attention otherwise you miss the small stuff they put into the songs

to really get the full experience of this song you need to stay awake for more than 24 hours.... put some headphones on and shut your tired eyes as you listen. it is a trip.

Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Just that part from 5:00 onwards, I keep rewinding it, over and over again. As he lay down, wanting to get away to a safe place. So beautiful. It's exactly what I want to do, to just pretty much get lost.
That is the best part! :))
I get that feeling bro, ur not the only one :)
All that endless wandering...going through door after door. A fleeting glimpse of a young girl running by, then closing herself in her room. Finally he makes it to the top of the mountain, and all there is to do is crawl into a damp cave and take a moments rest. Does anyone know what is he saying ? Is it backwards or just super slow?
Phillip Thompson dunno
According to some lyrics website he says: half of my life
To me this video is about how many doors we open throughout our lives without ever questioning where they actually take us. There are doors of regret, doors of mundane insignificance , doors of sweet moments, doors of anger. We think we’ve gone to a place further than where we started. But we are just back at zero, like it shows at the end of the video.
I think it's about daydreaming
there are barn doors, and there are revolving doors
doors in the rudders of big ships, and there are revolving doors
I agree in a sense, but i think the 23 doors represents the 23 years he was married to his wife. She passed of cancer 2 years previously.
the smart and sarcastic comments kind of make me sad and regret writing my original comment. I'll try to ignore them though. I haven't looked back at what I said in over a year. I probably should've kept it that way.
