Please react to the In Rainbows Live From the Basement sessions, his vocals are really on full display there. "Nude" is a great one to start with. This was early era for them with a rock/grunge-y vibe, but they are ultimately genre-bending.
Thom Yorkes voice is amazing tbh. The more you hear from Radiohead the more you'll come to realize this. Same with how all the songs are much deeper than they seem on the surface. I think you would really like How to disappear completely, Fake Plastic trees, No surprises, Street spirit etc Also, Radiohead is basically their own genre since every album is experimental and unique from the one before.
Radiohead have crossed genres a lot. This song was from their second album when they were still alternative/indie rock, hugely influenced by bands like Sonic Youth, The Smiths, Pixies, R.E.M., etc. After this album they'd become a more experimental art-rock band and then move into electronic music. Easily the most influential and important rock band of the last 30 years. They're as close as my our generation has to a band as important as The Beatles.
Thom has an amazing vocal range. PLEASE PLEASE listen to 'Street Spirit' (Fade Away) by Radiohead.....haunting is an understatement - it literally stops you in your tracks because it's so captivating 🖤🙏The official video is mesmerising but there's also an excellent live performance from Glastonbury 2017 - utterly beautiful. Radiohead are a very rare breed in music; they're so unique that they actually need their own genre. So experimental and eclectic - their portfolio of music is astounding. Also react to 'Paranoid Android'; Karma Police; No Surprises; My Iron Lung....their back catalogue is vast. MORE Radiohead please!
Yes, it was a coin. It produces a metallic whine with the strings (I play). And I just looked at the lyrics, yes, he does say, "you'd kill yourself for recognition..." I never paid that much attention to this particular song and WORDS DO MATTER. Especially if you hear them repeatedly. THANK YOU for pointing that out to me! You're on top of your game, thanks again! BTW, this song came out in Feb. of 1995. It's an oldie but a goodie. 🤩
Very much here for any more Radiohead reactions you get to! So much creative, diverse and wonderful music from them but my personal fave is probably ‘Let Down’.
"Kill yourself for recognition, turn yourself into what you're not. Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry". I think he's saying "if you feel the need to be someone else instead of being yourself to gain social appreciation, then you are killing who you truly are. So if I be myself, please don't abandon me".
As a new, Radiohead fan, here's one piece of advice from an old one. Thom Yorke's songwriting changes quite a bit as he more or less finished growing up in the public eye. Radiohead's first album is not considered very highly, with only one hit, but that was "Creep" and it was a big one. "High and Dry" is from _The Bends_ , the second album, and it is amazing start to finish. "High and Dry", "Fake Plastic Trees", "Just", and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" were all hits, and the first two tracks are among my favorite rock songs even though they were not singles. The third album, _OK Computer_ is once again a leap forward, this time out of pure guitar rock and into a more complex blend of instruments, themes, and melodies, including "Paranoid Android" that you heard. The forth album., _Kid A_ and every album after that are honestly too progressive for me and for the typical listener. The second and third albums are the sweet spot for me and many other listeners, and they are consistently ranked as two of the best albums of all time.
Two of my favorites in the last few days… Prince and Radiohead. As some others have said, I really recommend that you check out the In Rainbows sessions. So great. I like Nude or Weird Fishes/Arpeggi. Also, if you haven’t seen it, Prince did a cover of Creep at Coachella. It is brilliant. Btw, there’s a group of Prince fans that watch live performances regularly, and we refer to the “PDC” often. Haha!
it's always so crazy to me seeing somebody who has only ever heard of this song and creep. knowing what's really in store for them. especially when it comes to thom's vocal ability
Look out for their song Street Spirit (Fade Out). Street Spirit is a true masterpiece sound and video vise along with Black Star! At that time the 2 first albums Pablo Honey and The Bands were their "original sound" and on the 3rd album OK Computer they transitioned to a little bit different style with great songs like Karma Police, Exit and one of my favorites No Surprises. When Radiohead "dissasembeled" Thom Yorke then continued to perform solo experimenting with various palette of songs and styles (notable mentions and my favorites Hearing Dammage and a "political/consipiracy song" Harrowdown Hill).
Early Radiohead albums would be considered Alternative or Progressive Rock ~ and the rom-com feel of "High and Dry" I suspect may have been a deliberate play on (precisely) a genre of TV music, that Radiohead and like-minded British bands detested as needy, not-real and commercialized. In the 90s, we were getting a lot of American rom-com series and movies like Friends and all sorts of Hallmark movies ~ so I suspect that line "you'd kill yourself for recognition" is a deliberate slight on the kinds of personalities usually promoted in US series and movies at that time: people pleasing, non-opinionated and (ofc) ultra consumers. The British Alternative/Progressive Rock scene came out of the Punk scene ~ and they absolutely hated US commercialism/populism. All the pretty singing is probably also a very sarky slight on the whole "oh, won't you please like me" theme. "High and dry" is most definitely a comment on neediness.
This song was on a Dutch (The Netherlands) tv show. Fun fact i see "spanish" subtitles :). In The Netherlands they have amazing tv shows with fantastic music. The bands are always doing more their best or something :) . So much fun
You've only heard stuff from their first 2 albums, you really need to see how they evolve each time they release something. In Rainbows is def my favorite! They have an entire session live called In the Basement if you're interested.
Thom Yorke is one of the greatest vocalists to come out of the 90's crop of great bands. I'd even argue that he's the greatest. And his lyrical genius is something that you come to understand the more familiar you become with the band. There aren't many people who can write about sadness and despair the way Thom can. And young Thom is absolutely adorable. He's just precious. Radiohead started as 90's alternative rock (which is it's own genre entirely) and shifted into a more progressive/experimental rock sound. Ok Computer falls more into the experimental electronic rock genre. You can't really put Radiohead in a box. They transcend everything.
The Bends does have that 90's sound to it. To me this entire album sounds like The Pixies. Particularly the song Bones. OK Computer is a masterpiece. Subterranean Homesick Aliens is on that album and it is a great song. Kid A has some solid wonderful songs. My favorite RH album is In Rainbows. All these albums sound very different. Enjoy a deep dive into RH, you won't be sorry.
wow, your reaction is one of the best I've ever seen. you are real and your thoughts are good. Also pretty look. This album is one of my favourite. My favourite song in it maybe planet telex or nice dream, hope you react to some more radiohead in the future.
You stop the videos too many times and usually never rewind, so you miss a bunch of things like instrumentation, production details and... THE LYRICS. "You'd kill yourself for recognition Kill yourself to never, ever stop You broke another mirror You're turning into something you are not" 😉 Anyway, I use to enjoy your reactions. In special Prince's ones.
Then listen to Lorrie Morgan's live version of Harper Valley PTA.. I THINK LORRIE MORGAN HAS ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE VOICES IN COUNTRY MUSIC... Listen to some of her stuff from the 90's, when she was I her prime .. Wow
Girl you have GOT to react to The Devil by Stephen Wilson Jr. Only 1 channel has a reaction to it and it's one of the BEST song of 2023 and I can't believe everyone isn't talking about it!
Do you ever stop talking long enough to just listen to the song. Do you love the sound of your voice that much that you think people want to listen to babble over a great song?
Annoyed the hell out of me. Couldn’t watch any more, just reading other pissed off comments. When they do this they just miss the feel of the whole song.
I can believe you passed up Dan Vasc a true masterpiece I was looking foward to your response you fun to watch but I guess I can see your reaction I know there are a lot of fans would love to see you react to Dans new masterpiece and I have used quarters for a pic before because I had nothing else it works not as good as a pic but you do what you have to do keep up the great reactions
The device the guitar player is using is called an ebow. Short for electronic bow. Violinists and Cellists use a very long bow to sustain the notes. An ebow uses magnets to vibrate the string and achieve the same long sustained notes.
Hey sweetie I am very new to your stuff love ❤️ love it you are hilarious if you're into storytelling (which I know you are) check out Red Sorvine Teddybear or Phantom 309
You think to listening 2 songs of Radiohead you Know them... Girl you're lost. RADIOHEAD PEARL JAM &RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS ARE THE BEST MUSICIANS UNTILL THESE 2024. SONWRITERS THE BEST. LIVE PERFOMANCES THE BEST. THIS IS NOT ONLY 90's MUSIC. I WAS LITERALLY RUNNING FOR MY LIFE WHEN HIGH AND DRY CAME UP TO..... THAT SONG IS NOT BLOWIN WIND AND BLA B LA BLA YOU SAID. IT'S DEEPER TO THOM YORKE. I DONT SEE YOU LITENING AMNESIAC KID A HAIL FOR THE THIEF.... UMMM NO.

Paranoid android will blow your mind
It blew everyone’s minds. Definitely mine

One of my favorite songs and favorite performances too!
Yes to all of this!
Was going to suggest the same. Goosbumps, just genius.
Don’t take this personally, but you aren’t gonna catch the message by playing 10 seconds, with 3 30 second breaks 😂
seriously

They were on the Romeo & Juliet Soundtrack from the 90's. Song is called Exit Music (For a film), I believe. A great song!
Talk show host was also on Romeo and Juliet
Some more from Radiohead to check out
Street Spirit
No Surprises
Fake Plastic Trees
Karma Police
Paranoid Android
Great list 😎🔥

Radiohead did music on the film Romeo And Juliet
Hint - not a rom-com.
The guitarist Jonny Greenwood has had Oscar nominations for film scores.
Weird Fishes Arpeggi!!!
"Kill yourself for recognition, turn yourself into what you're not. Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry".
I think he's saying "if you feel the need to be someone else instead of being yourself to gain social appreciation, then you are killing who you truly are. So if I be myself, please don't abandon me".
I'm older. This song hits like a screwdriver to heart. Old memories

my favorite band
it's always so crazy to me seeing somebody who has only ever heard of this song and creep. knowing what's really in store for them. especially when it comes to thom's vocal ability
With Radiohead the album it's on has it's own genre they change so much from album to album.

Musical magic of the highest level in the universe.
I love this so much. I love Radiohead and you're reaction.
So so so happy to see you dive into Radiohead
This song was on a Dutch (The Netherlands) tv show. Fun fact i see "spanish" subtitles :). In The Netherlands they have amazing tv shows with fantastic music. The bands are always doing more their best or something :) . So much fun
Radiohead just gets better & better.
I wish you could have let yourself feel the music. Rest is important! Put yourself and your well-being first, no one else will!
Each album gets better
Radiohead-Reckoner
Yea he is playing slide between the chord (his hand) and the bridge
You've only heard stuff from their first 2 albums, you really need to see how they evolve each time they release something. In Rainbows is def my favorite! They have an entire session live called In the Basement if you're interested.
in the 90s lyrics were much more different than today. No fear of being canceled for what you wrote
Radiohead is a journey ok computer,
Kid a, amnesiac hail to the thief, in rainbows . Are some awesome albums
most radiohead videos have spanish subtitles. they just really like them downsouthamericaway.

This is such a beautiful yet sad song. To have another rendition.. Check out Geoff Castellucci's cover of this. Just him and his keyboard. ❤
Romcoms ? Nah.
However their song Talk Show Host was in the film Romeo And Juliet. Think you'll like it. 👍♥️
Fake plastic trees is a good one
90's was a great decade...
The Bends does have that 90's sound to it. To me this entire album sounds like The Pixies. Particularly the song Bones. OK Computer is a masterpiece.

Yeah bro😂 had me cracking up
hahahha same, old 90s HIIIIIGH
You stop the videos too many times and usually never rewind, so you miss a bunch of things like instrumentation, production details and... THE LYRICS.
"You'd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you are not"
😉
Anyway, I use to enjoy your reactions. In special Prince's ones.
😊
Fake plastic trees next please
I love Radiohead. They are a British Band He is using British money. Go to their UA-cam channel to listen to more songs

Street Spirit is my favourite
Then listen to Lorrie Morgan's live version of Harper Valley PTA.. I THINK LORRIE MORGAN HAS ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE VOICES IN COUNTRY MUSIC... Listen to some of her stuff from the 90's, when she was I her prime .. Wow
Geoff Castellucci Does a great version of this.
Pretty vocals is his raison d'etre. Listen to more of their songs, like Nude. You shouldn’t be surprised.
Love Thom Yorke❤
I know from previous reactions you like Elvis, You should check out his Walk a Mile in my shoes. You will love it.😀
Girl you have GOT to react to The Devil by Stephen Wilson Jr. Only 1 channel has a reaction to it and it's one of the BEST song of 2023 and I can't believe everyone isn't talking about it!
Just watched your reaction to Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billy Jo ". Check out Jeannie C Riley's " Harper Valley PTA ". (same era)
They are th ier they're own genre
You should also react their live concert videos 🔥 “Paranoid Android” or “Pyramid song” are good picks for next 🙏🏻 cheers
Heyyyy, you need to react Ray Charles - Yesterday (The Beatles).. look that vocal drive!!!
is gone awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
It's Alternative Rock, or Indie as it is known as in the UK. Definitely not Grunge or Emo.
Do you ever stop talking long enough to just listen to the song. Do you love the sound of your voice that much that you think people want to listen to babble over a great song?
Annoyed the hell out of me. Couldn’t watch any more, just reading other pissed off comments. When they do this they just miss the feel of the whole song.
Can you react to Chris Stars - Polvo Estelar?
Indie Rock

I can believe you passed up Dan Vasc a true masterpiece I was looking foward to your response you fun to watch but I guess I can see your reaction I know there are a lot of fans would love to see you react to Dans new masterpiece and I have used quarters for a pic before because I had nothing else it works not as good as a pic but you do what you have to do keep up the great reactions
Its rock not much radio head was on the radio except creep was huge hit.

Hey Britt- your patreon link isn’t working.
Musicians are talented.Go figure...
Way too much interrupting for a Radiohead song...and this is one of their more simple songs.
looks like a ten penny silver coin english ten pence
No surprises or karma Police please from Radiohead
