I'll do you one better: The great music that's hidden inside your brain. I once listened to a late night unmanned radio station. When the CD started hanging, no one was there to make it stop, so all I heard was "dang dang dang dang". I kept listening, and a complete symphony started to emerge from it. I was flabbergasted. It's all already in there man, that's how you can recognize it when you hear it. Just like Michelangelo said that all he did was remove the left over stone to reveal what was already inside, or Dylan said that he had no idea where his best lyrics came from. After a while I had to stop listening, because I noticed that I had stopped breathing.
I live in Cairo and I used to go with my friends to a hotel roof that has the same view of the pyramids just like this photo. We got high and listened to radiohead. Amazing memories
Me: *Reads comments about the beauty of life, art, human relationships, love, history, deep thoughts and confessions* Also me, scrolling down: *MY SNAILS ARE GOING NUTS*
I, like probably 99% of people who listened to this all the way through, only initially wanted to check out the beginning. But DAMN did this pull me in fast. This is epic.
*First time listening in normal speed:* “the rhythm is insane!!!” *First time listening in slow speed:* *wakes up in the desert, enlightened and ready to liberate the pharaoh’s slaves*
I've just recently had a baby born, and two days ago it was the first time he was introduced to Radiohead, which happened to be Weird Fishes track. Since that moment I knew what would be the next one. Now he's 8,5 days old. He's laying on my belly now, and we listening to one of the greatest ambient compositions ever. This fits perfectly as the soundtrack to the retrospective of the whole process of his creation in the womb. Development of his body, brain, and nervous system, every single cell. New life is in my hands here, and I'm fully committed to raising him as a beautiful human being as this music is. Wishing you all the best my friends.
"Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, we're afraid!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, We will fall!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. And so they came. And he pushed them. And they flew. Guillaume Apollinaire

If the planet were crying and asking for help, this is probably what it would sound like. Such an eerie sound both terrifying and wonderful to listen to.
End of the world soundtrack. Dusty skies, memory flashback of my childhood, first love, my nephew's chubby fingers, so much beauty, fading now into the swirls of oblivion. Every moment is precious, and then it's gone forever.
Love the original song. Always wanted it to be played at my funeral. This version I will definitely meditate to sometimes, fall asleep to sometimes, and if possible listen to when I leave this world to see what is next in store for me. Thank you for sharing this.
I got a feeling this is what the last few seconds of life will sound like, you don't cease to exist, time just stretches out asymptotically into infinity.
@@kiko1814 is it? you have no way of knowing if your entire life is playing out inside your own mind's death screams. and you have no way of knowing if those death screams themselves are coming at the end of another life lived within yet another desperate consciousness-stretching pre-death episode. at the end of your present life, you may slip into your thousandth such attempt to hold onto life and be born yet again into a new life inside that ever-lengthening moment. it may be impossible to know for sure that it happens, because if our minds do something like this then the only way to avoid it is to die quickly and unexpectedly, with no time to reach the realization itself.
Bahahahahahaha! Best comment here! I heard the song, I felt it! I don't feel it necessary to read how it affected someone's existence. I do feel it necessary to reveal the exact moment the wonder and the sadness, of which one feels they may be experiencing, will in fact occur but you are not one of the chosen few who will be witness! Bahahahahahaha! Best comment ever!
Today is my birthday. Last year I listened to this song, focusing on every little aspect, going through an emotional roller coaster, crying my heart out, enjoying every minute of it, feeling my soul cleanse... And I was whole. For a while. until I come back, year later, seeking the same experience, seeking something I'm not sure can exist on-demand. The feeling of release, exaltation, togetherness, spirituality, exuberance, jubilee and all the words - they confound me. It is none of these. Yet all - for there is no word for the individually specific experience except the general words that describe the halo and not the angel. And perhaps the angel can only be specific to space and time. Yet - here I am. Again. Seeking. Hoping. Wanting. Waiting... And 30 minutes later realizing it is all of you, all of your comments, not just the song, that completes the journey. I have cried. I've had my introspection. I am whole. For a while. See you in a year.
This is beautiful and still unmistakably Radiohead. It just goes to show; you can take one of their songs, slow it down 800% and it's still breathtakingly beautiful. Thank God for Radiohead.
What I find fascinating is that slowed down 800%, the onsets of the opening chords sound like a ‘triplitised’ fanfare of repeated notes. Also, the slow mo piano is warped into a brass section, compounding the fanfare feel. As others have mentioned, slowing the music down to this degree exposes its (exquisite) DNA structure. One can appreciate the dovetailing textures and carefully executed overlapping transitions between the vocals and percussion - the cymbal brush, like a wave, ushering in Thom’s vocals etc. It’s fantastic.
Also! I think what’s particular effective is that the entire thing works on the listener, who most likely knows the original version, as some sort of mystic reveal, as we can overlay the original in our own mind whilst listening to this new version. There’s the simultaneous feeling of hearing something for the first time but also knowing what will come next, albeit in its faster original form. A retrospective blueprint. It plays weird tricks on the brain! Without getting new age about it, the old becoming the new... you can feel the synapses firing and retracing their steps whilst reforging the 800% superstructure as a new memory. A PYRAMID OF SYNAPTIC RECOGNITION, IF YOU WILL! 👍🏻
Bro this is time-stretched... it’s all digitally compensated... it’s not what it would really sound like slowed down 800% that would be impossible to physically do without lowering the pitch. The computer loops small grains of the audio in accordance with the tempo to give the illusion of it being slower, it sounds cool, but it’s all computer fuckery and nothing what the real slowed version would sound like. It would be almost incomprehensible irl. Everything you described would not be there.
Alan womack I had worked that out... the vocals are heavily sampled to sound as if they’re in the stratosphere and as you say, are the same pitch. Regardless, whether it’s time-stretched or time-slowed, and whatever one’s semantically preferable word for distortion, it sounds cool and sheds new light on a modern classic.
Antares Bottia like the Russian dolls within a doll within a doll, which was inspired by the sarcophagus of the Egyptian pharaohs... always layered between one coffin and another and another... recreating the bones, muscles, blood vessels, flesh, hair of the human body... the pharaohs and their tombs were the first human consciousness transfer into an artificial humanoid robotic body designed to last forever... like Maria from the movie metropolis
This edit perfectly describes my sorrow. Anyone else ever stays awake at night thinking about how the vast infinite universe itself is a concept that just goes behind our human understanding and maybe there are a billion solar systems to explore yet we remain stuck on this tiny rock making life harder for each others instead of actually pushing mankind forward while aiming for the unknown in order to evolve further..
And yet, in a way, we do understand it. Innately. Intrinsically. But our words are unable to bring justice to this fact. Only in sound, only in visual representation can we ever come even a fraction as close to replicating that inner truth in a way that others can begin to understand. Yet, with all our efforts, in the end, each and every one of us stands utterly alone, completely bereft of the capability of transmitting this urgent truth of overwhelming vastness and our own miniscule place in it. All we have is ourselves, our experiences and the universe, who is at once our mother, our realm and that which erases us as if we never were. Into nothingness, a new life somewhere else or a dissolvement of energy back into the oneness of the universe is not ours to know. Whether any of it is real or an illusion is again not ours to know. It is only ours to experience and learn. We are but microbes spiraling through space as we cling desperately to the rock which has granted us life, most things are beyond our ability to communicate comprehension of.
You should watch exurb1a's videos, he is the closest anyone has ever put this feeling of the vastness of the universe and our comprehension of it into dialogue.
Hei man, what if we travel and discover the other things in the universe and they do the same stuff as us.. simply. They try to find the truth searching for other societies. And once we meet, after milions of years and tries, we would just stare at eachother like idiots :)
I've known the original for years, but this take on it is really something else. I like to listen to this when I use Google Street View to wander down the dusty, half-abandoned streets of the neighbourhoods where I grew up, a long time ago, speaking a different language, in a different culture to the one my own children are growing up with. Maybe this is too beefy a comment for a UA-cam video but it's like I'm using technology to peer into my past on another continent, both far away physically and in time. And I feel like listening to this stretches my mind just a little bit, to let some of the old feelings back in.
As if this track wasn't beautiful enough, already. Slowing it down like this just adds another layer of mysticism to the whole affair. Thanks to all involved.
... I'm sorry but u got it all wrong michelle, my belle, humans imagine gods out of nothing, but humans create beauty and exctasy out of rythm and sonic poetry. this is mind blowing, perhaps this is the ultimate sound of the universe.
ok michelle. sometimes it is difficult to understand the joke that lies beneath the comment, but I hope we are on this together. cheers from europe, with the help of the creative radiohead fans. have a good night.
I fell off a 50 foot cliff a year ago and almost died. I had a small hole in my lung. I listened to this song over and over as I imagined the hole closing up. I played the movie of the hole closing in my mind all night long. When the doctors came in to do the X-rays in the morning the hole was gone. Music is magic. believing is magic. Not matter what you are going through you can use the power of your mind to heal yourself. Sending love and light to everyone reading this ❤️🙏🏻
when I meditate and focus on a part of my body that it hurts I can feel different things but you took it to another level, basically focusing your body to heal one point
I love you and i notice that great music like this really brings people together in a way that words never can. Thank you for your encouragement, I'm glad you came out OK. Universe have mercy on us all. The music will be all that's left when we're gone.
I remember listening to this over and over when it was first published on UA-cam, I was at uni, usually studying in the library. Now it’s 9 yrs old on UA-cam and just came up on my algorithm. I am old 👨🏼🦳
Pyramid Song has been my favorite Radiohead song for a long long time. I didn't think it was possible to enjoy this song further in such a unique way. Props to OP, this is outstanding.
Lyrics: jumped in the river and what did I see? Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars All the things I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt I jumped into the river Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars And all the things I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Twenty minutes into incredibly slow radiohead and chill and you're laying on the floor foaming at the mouth having an existential crisis because of your new found understanding of the universe and the meaninglessness of life. You can also smell colors and read minds.
this the type of song to tell you there is no difference between alcohol and shame/guilt and that you’re doing great, and keep going, and love what you got

Relatively speaking, Humans are fairly primitive if we consider that we haven't changed much at all over the course of history.
I guess it comes with their style, the already slow, haunted vocals, the ghostly keys and vast reverb and distant shimmer lend so well to this but only an incredible production quality would allow this 800% slower version to be so mesmerizing, really makes you apreciate the effort and talent put into this song

Love the original song. Always wanted it to be played at my funeral. This version I will definitely meditate to sometimes, fall asleep to sometimes, and if possible listen to when I leave this world to see what is next in store for me. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm having the original at my funeral
Imagine this version of the song played at your funeral !

I got a feeling this is what the last few seconds of life will sound like, you don't cease to exist, time just stretches out asymptotically into infinity.
ive thought about that being a possibility too
that's horrifying.
There is no time 🙄
@@kiko1814 is it? you have no way of knowing if your entire life is playing out inside your own mind's death screams. and you have no way of knowing if those death screams themselves are coming at the end of another life lived within yet another desperate consciousness-stretching pre-death episode. at the end of your present life, you may slip into your thousandth such attempt to hold onto life and be born yet again into a new life inside that ever-lengthening moment. it may be impossible to know for sure that it happens, because if our minds do something like this then the only way to avoid it is to die quickly and unexpectedly, with no time to reach the realization itself.

Who still listens to this oldie in 2540?
Ultra sleeper comment
I want someone to see this comment in 2540 and record it in the history books alongside this song
Bahahahahahaha! Best comment here!
I heard the song, I felt it! I don't feel it necessary to read how it affected someone's existence. I do feel it necessary to reveal the exact moment the wonder and the sadness, of which one feels they may be experiencing, will in fact occur but you are not one of the chosen few who will be witness!
Bahahahahahaha! Best comment ever!
It feels like, when the video ends, the year will be 2540 LMAO it's so slow, it feels like time travelling :D

THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER
Today is my birthday. Last year I listened to this song, focusing on every little aspect, going through an emotional roller coaster, crying my heart out, enjoying every minute of it, feeling my soul cleanse... And I was whole.
For a while.
until I come back, year later, seeking the same experience, seeking something I'm not sure can exist on-demand. The feeling of release, exaltation, togetherness, spirituality, exuberance, jubilee and all the words - they confound me. It is none of these. Yet all - for there is no word for the individually specific experience except the general words that describe the halo and not the angel. And perhaps the angel can only be specific to space and time.
Yet - here I am. Again. Seeking.
Hoping.
Wanting.
Waiting...
And 30 minutes later realizing it is all of you, all of your comments, not just the song, that completes the journey. I have cried. I've had my introspection. I am whole. For a while.
See you in a year.
Happy Birthday! and I'll be waiting for your comment when you come back in a year from now. Take care :)
Welcome back. I think it has been a year.
Beautifully said. Similar experience with this track. Happy Birthday for when it’s your birthday.
It´s like showing the DNA of the song to us. Strangely mystical and pleasant.
EXACTLY
Wow. What a way of looking at it! Like looking through a microscope at the track.
I'd love to see the watchtime analytics of this video to see how many people quit after 20 seconds, and how many listen to the whole thing
it feels like waves hitting the shore in every ups and downs of the music.
This is beautiful and still unmistakably Radiohead. It just goes to show; you can take one of their songs, slow it down 800% and it's still breathtakingly beautiful. Thank God for Radiohead.
What I find fascinating is that slowed down 800%, the onsets of the opening chords sound like a ‘triplitised’ fanfare of repeated notes. Also, the slow mo piano is warped into a brass section, compounding the fanfare feel.
As others have mentioned, slowing the music down to this degree exposes its (exquisite) DNA structure. One can appreciate the dovetailing textures and carefully executed overlapping transitions between the vocals and percussion - the cymbal brush, like a wave, ushering in Thom’s vocals etc.
It’s fantastic.
Also!
I think what’s particular effective is that the entire thing works on the listener, who most likely knows the original version, as some sort of mystic reveal, as we can overlay the original in our own mind whilst listening to this new version. There’s the simultaneous feeling of hearing something for the first time but also knowing what will come next, albeit in its faster original form. A retrospective blueprint.
It plays weird tricks on the brain! Without getting new age about it, the old becoming the new... you can feel the synapses firing and retracing their steps whilst reforging the 800% superstructure as a new memory.
A PYRAMID OF SYNAPTIC RECOGNITION, IF YOU WILL! 👍🏻
Bro this is time-stretched... it’s all digitally compensated... it’s not what it would really sound like slowed down 800% that would be impossible to physically do without lowering the pitch. The computer loops small grains of the audio in accordance with the tempo to give the illusion of it being slower, it sounds cool, but it’s all computer fuckery and nothing what the real slowed version would sound like. It would be almost incomprehensible irl. Everything you described would not be there.
Alan womack I had worked that out... the vocals are heavily sampled to sound as if they’re in the stratosphere and as you say, are the same pitch. Regardless, whether it’s time-stretched or time-slowed, and whatever one’s semantically preferable word for distortion, it sounds cool and sheds new light on a modern classic.
MrAristaeus it is pretty fucking cool isn’t it
Alan womack Yes. Someone should notate this ‘as is’ so it can be performed and experienced live.
A dream within a dream within a dream....
Feels like "an INCEPTION" ;)
dumaramutsi ditto! 🏄
Antares Bottia holy shit this would fit perfectly with the Inception soundtrack spot on
hanging rock ...
Antares Bottia like the Russian dolls within a doll within a doll, which was inspired by the sarcophagus of the Egyptian pharaohs... always layered between one coffin and another and another... recreating the bones, muscles, blood vessels, flesh, hair of the human body... the pharaohs and their tombs were the first human consciousness transfer into an artificial humanoid robotic body designed to last forever... like Maria from the movie metropolis
I'm genuinely surprised by how good this sounds.
Why this is one of there best slow songs
Kim Philipp Möllgaard tptallu
You could slow anything down at sounds good actually most stuff sounds better slow down
Floyd Pearl not of the sound is warping
ya. this is weirdly good. very evocative
The new Dune soundtrack.
This edit perfectly describes my sorrow. Anyone else ever stays awake at night thinking about how the vast infinite universe itself is a concept that just goes behind our human understanding and maybe there are a billion solar systems to explore yet we remain stuck on this tiny rock making life harder for each others instead of actually pushing mankind forward while aiming for the unknown in order to evolve further..
And yet, in a way, we do understand it. Innately. Intrinsically. But our words are unable to bring justice to this fact. Only in sound, only in visual representation can we ever come even a fraction as close to replicating that inner truth in a way that others can begin to understand. Yet, with all our efforts, in the end, each and every one of us stands utterly alone, completely bereft of the capability of transmitting this urgent truth of overwhelming vastness and our own miniscule place in it. All we have is ourselves, our experiences and the universe, who is at once our mother, our realm and that which erases us as if we never were. Into nothingness, a new life somewhere else or a dissolvement of energy back into the oneness of the universe is not ours to know. Whether any of it is real or an illusion is again not ours to know. It is only ours to experience and learn. We are but microbes spiraling through space as we cling desperately to the rock which has granted us life, most things are beyond our ability to communicate comprehension of.
You should watch exurb1a's videos, he is the closest anyone has ever put this feeling of the vastness of the universe and our comprehension of it into dialogue.
@@apt-get2587 exurb1a is underrated my god
Hei man, what if we travel and discover the other things in the universe and they do the same stuff as us.. simply. They try to find the truth searching for other societies. And once we meet, after milions of years and tries, we would just stare at eachother like idiots :)
You should listen to Mount Eerie by The Microphones
Thom has a really long breath in this one, impressive
Alvise Z They had to attach a Didgeridoo to his throat, so that he can breath through this while singing.
800% slower? This'll be a laugh - i thought - then, i started to cry.
Brett, thank you for your raw and honest comment. I was moved to my core existence. I cry with you.

I've known the original for years, but this take on it is really something else. I like to listen to this when I use Google Street View to wander down the dusty, half-abandoned streets of the neighbourhoods where I grew up, a long time ago, speaking a different language, in a different culture to the one my own children are growing up with. Maybe this is too beefy a comment for a UA-cam video but it's like I'm using technology to peer into my past on another continent, both far away physically and in time. And I feel like listening to this stretches my mind just a little bit, to let some of the old feelings back in.
@@karmatraining Dude your comment just made me cry. 800% too deep for youtube.
@@karmatraining Pass it to the left
absolutely ethereal experience, and also respect that you've been hearting these comments for an entire decade.

As if this track wasn't beautiful enough, already. Slowing it down like this just adds another layer of mysticism to the whole affair. Thanks to all involved.

I love how the drums sound like ocean waves at the beach, but like a big dry ocean of sand
I fell off a 50 foot cliff a year ago and almost died. I had a small hole in my lung. I listened to this song over and over as I imagined the hole closing up. I played the movie of the hole closing in my mind all night long. When the doctors came in to do the X-rays in the morning the hole was gone. Music is magic. believing is magic. Not matter what you are going through you can use the power of your mind to heal yourself. Sending love and light to everyone reading this ❤️🙏🏻
when I meditate and focus on a part of my body that it hurts I can feel different things
but you took it to another level, basically focusing your body to heal one point
Magic is real, we have music to prove that. One love to all like minded people who feel this song is nothing short of a gem
This is amazing. I hope you're doing better Matthew.
Sure
I love you and i notice that great music like this really brings people together in a way that words never can. Thank you for your encouragement, I'm glad you came out OK. Universe have mercy on us all. The music will be all that's left when we're gone.

Lyrics:
jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I guess it comes with their style, the already slow, haunted vocals, the ghostly keys and vast reverb and distant shimmer lend so well to this but only an incredible production quality would allow this 800% slower version to be so mesmerizing, really makes you apreciate the effort and talent put into this song
