This song came out when I was a freshman in college. I was a dork broken hearted over a girl and this just spoke to me. You can hear the pain in Thom’s voice.
Fun fact: Thom Yorke has a neurological condition where sometimes his jaw locks up. So when you see him singing, you can sometimes catch him yawning or flexing his mouth to avoid it locking up!
Radiohead has live video recordings of a few of their albums. They are "From the Basement". They have incredible range. Some of the most beautiful ballads. of love and heartbreak. And some incredibly innovative rock songs. I won't mention any one in particular, because there are so many to choose. I hope you choose many.
Hello Olavity, This song always breaks my heart. The singer (Thom Yorke) had drawn inspiration for “Creep” from an encounter he'd had with a girl he'd been stalking who unexpectedly attended one of Radiohead's performance. So, he felt like a creep, ashamed. He didn’t feel on the same level because he was born with a paralyzed left eye. Many stations didn’t give the song much air time due to considering it too depressing.
FYI - 5 of the 9 total Albums RADIOHEAD has released have been Listed in "The Rolling Stone: TOP 500 ALBUMS of All Time List"...they are 1 of just 10 total bands/artists to have made this accomplishment in history. It is 100% worth your time to get to know their music!!!
This song came out when I was 18 and trying to find my place in the world. I had broken up with my girlfriend of 2 years. Reason being, I felt we were too young to fall in love. I didn’t want her to miss out on life and living miss out on living her best years when you’re young. Sometimes I think I made a big mistake. She was so very special. I have thought of her very often and i hope she’s living her best life.
One of the greatest bands of all times. Some other great Radiohead songs: Pyramid Song, Knives Out, 2+2=5, Nude, Paranoid Android, Jigsaw Falling Into Place (my favorite one!).
One of the great bands. Highly suggest you listen to OK Computer and The Bends, my two faves from them, with OK Computer being my pick for best Album of the 90's and in my Top5 All-time.
Good start to your Radiohead journey. You need to hear "Street Spirit", "High and Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees" after this. Then you can move onto their more complex stuff.
Their biggest song is rarely played live now because they (or maybe just Thom) finds it too depressing apparently? I haven't seen them for many years,so I don't know for sure.
From what I remember, Creep was getting overplayed on MTV and at events so much that Thom got tired of it being the only song of theirs people were demanding to hear at their shows. It became a thorn in their side when performing the song felt commercialized and fake. It was removed from circulation of songs played live for years until the band decided to put it back in the setlist mix a couple times a year. Even now though, if Thom believes the performance is fake, he will stop mid song and move to the next song on the list.
According to my knowledge, they didn´t play Creep for many years because Thom thought the text no longer was completely true (he thought it would be false to shout out his teenage sorrow when he didn´t felt that way any longer). But after some years he thought it over and started singing Creep again. "What the heck, it doesn´t matter if I PERSONALLY don´t feel this teenage pain any longer, I know there are thousends of OTHER people out there who feels this way! So let this song be a sort of anthem for all these lonely souls!" What goes for the other band members, I know one of the guitarists (don´t remember wich one of them) hated the song already from the start, for some reason, but still didn´t refused to play it.
Fake Plastic Trees is beautiful. My dad isn’t the biggest Radiohead fan (although I got him into In Rainbows and he loves it) but Fake Plastic Trees literally has literally made him cry.
BEST RADIOHEAD SONGS NEXT: If you love LIVE PERFORMANCE, Go with "Weird Fises: Live from the Basement" and "Nude: Live From the Basement" - If you prefer Studio first "Fake Plastic Trees" and "No Surprises" ...dozens and dozens and dozens of great recommendations. If you want a deep cut personal favorite, to me one of the most beautiful luscious sounding music ever made, check out"There, There" -Live from France: Thom and Jonny".
you must react to the cover of this song by Post Modern Jukebox. You will never be the same. LOL. Just like Johnny Cash's cover of NIN-Hurt & Soundgarden's - Rusty Cage, the perspective of the song completely changes.
Great reaction to an iconic song!👏This song is on my list of all time top ten songs & has never left it for over 20 years. Not only is the music beautiful, but those lyrics, combined with Thom Yorke's voice - MASTERPIECE! Hence the reason it gets covered so much, but no-one can achieve the perfection of Radiohead's original - Thom wrote it & you can FEEL his raw emotion! PLEASE PLEASE react to Street Spirit (fade away): ua-cam.com/video/LCJblaUkkfc/v-deo.html - it is so memorising a haunting song 💗 Radiohead are an incredibly diverse band - they have created their 'own' unique genre - pure Genius
Honestly you're better off watching the official video version, It's in tune, slick and perfect, the best version for a first watch, if not on here then just so you experience the music and voice "not stoned" through good equipment. Thank you for your reactions, Mark
I would like to call this the slow version. I prefer the faster one. It's hard to tell them apart though but when you type Radiohead and creep, that's the first option I got, I really want you to hear that version. Maybe it sounds silly, but to me there is a big diffenrence, pleace check it out 🙏 You will know it when you find it!
They are still together last I heard and this was the early 90s when this hit was their debut radio song, they were very "Indie" before then. This was their 1st hit. Through the 90s they gained more popularity and rivaled Wilco, and other indie bands for the last 25 years.
This was early Radiohead. They evolved so much. They have two of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen. Paranoid Android on Jools Holland is phenomenal. It’s one of their best songs and is on OK Computer which is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. And anything (I would suggest Nude from their In Rainbows album) from their Live From the Basement sessions is ethereal. Best studio albums are probably OK Computer and In Rainbows. The Bends and Kid A are also great. Every album is very different.
I remember it, it was pretty great, but my favorite is definitely Haley Reinhart and postmodern jukebox doing creep. And Macy Gray does a pretty great version of it also.
Nah dude Creep is beautiful. I get that they hate it, and it’s for sure overplayed, but it’s a great song. Still not in my top 10 Radiohead songs. Probably not top 15 either. But that says more about Radiohead’s stellar discography than anything else.
You have some good content😮 not the best choice of rock and mostly not the hits so you are not getting the best of the best. My opinion don’t matter. But look for amt of views the vids have. This is not the video all have come to view or love. Until then i wont sub🤷

0:15 "I don't even know what type of music Radiohead play" - Don't worry about that, the more you hear from them, the less that will matter 😏
They play 'Radiohead' music. 🙂
too much radio, not enough head
Saw them in 1996. Opened for Alanis Morrissette they were really good.
Qué envidia!!!
Listen to every album by this band starting with “the bends”…Jonny Greenwood is my hero
Fun fact: Thom Yorke has a neurological condition where sometimes his jaw locks up. So when you see him singing, you can sometimes catch him yawning or flexing his mouth to avoid it locking up!
He was high on meth
cocaine?
Sadly, not true. At this time, he was heavy into dope. It's called dope jaw.
@@stevecummings1475 what kinda dope
I BELIVE this was during his coke phase. I could be wrong.
You will not be disappointed getting into Radio Head. It is dark, artistic and fantastic.
You got a thumbs up for not pausing it. Nicely done.
A Great reaction, as always
He is a such a powerful singer!
Wow! I've never heard this original before. I've heard others sing it, but this was great.
Thank you 😊🙏💞
Great reaction and your hair is perfect! + 1,000 up
Very emotional music! I judge performers by how they can make me feel emotion. Very good!

You're really gonna go down a rabbit hole with Radiohead I've seen them twice in Glasgow, my favourite band ...
Good morning ☕😊
LOVE your reactions❤️😉
Have a Great Day Beautiful 🫵😎🙂

To me Radioed oooh man they are soooou amazing ❤😂
They are soooou amazing 😂❤
wow your eyes wow
New subs
Always keep in to the rock
No Suprises,with the music video ❤
HI Ola I remember this song but don't know about there other songs.
But it was played along.❤😊
This song, Creep was from Pablo Honey. Which was their first and my favorite album. Then the Bends their second album.
Idk if I’ve ever heard someone say Pablo Honey’s their favorite, that’s pretty cool. It’s like the one album that I haven’t fully gone through
Thanks Olavity!!
Fake Plastic Trees is a good song to check out.
One of the greatest bands of all times. Some other great Radiohead songs: Pyramid Song, Knives Out, 2+2=5, Nude, Paranoid Android, Jigsaw Falling Into Place (my favorite one!).
No shit lol Jigsaw is my favorite too. Wish he’d play it live but I get that it’s a hard one for him to sing. Nude also destroys me, I love that song.
This made me tear up
Best live band ever.
One of the great bands. Highly suggest you listen to OK Computer and The Bends, my two faves from them, with OK Computer being my pick for best Album of the 90's and in my Top5 All-time.
You seem to really like Pau of The Warning, you should check out her cover of this song
Good start to your Radiohead journey. You need to hear "Street Spirit", "High and Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees" after this. Then you can move onto their more complex stuff.

I recomend you to hear "Fake Plastik Tree" it is a greate song!
Fake Plastic Trees is beautiful. My dad isn’t the biggest Radiohead fan (although I got him into In Rainbows and he loves it) but Fake Plastic Trees literally has literally made him cry.
listen to exit music for a film live, it will make you cry
I recommend Şebnem ferah-Can kırıkları from 2007 istanbul concert
Pau from The Warning does an excellent cover on piano.
Check it out.

Try the song "Weird Fishes".

Hi olavity..i like your reaction..and i hope you will react Dimas Senopati from indonesia rock cover song..thanks 🙏🤟
Paulina, the drummer from The Warning, did a cover of this song that I think you would like.

Love the song, but everytime I hear it I hear Beavis and Butthead arguing about it.
Listen to the studio/original release for a better voice....20 years ago.
High as a kite.
You should look up American Idol, some years back, a finalist by the name of Jena Irene did this song and she was amazing.
So great that someone remembered Irene's version. She did a great job with song. ❤❤
I remember it, it was pretty great, but my favorite is definitely Haley Reinhart and postmodern jukebox doing creep. And Macy Gray does a pretty great version of it also.
@@kevinehle6637Did she get popular?
I'll check that out, but the best version I've heard BY FAR is by Brian Justin Crumb (Americas got talent)
Lara Fabian - Je suis Malade ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html
Pau, the drummer from The Warning, did an amazing cover of this, just her and a piano, it’s pretty special. It’s on UA-cam somewhere.
Do the studio version, better
No need to listen. the title makes me think it'd all about her...
easily one of their worst tracks
I agree. And that doesn't even mean that it's bad, as it would with other bands.
Nah dude Creep is beautiful. I get that they hate it, and it’s for sure overplayed, but it’s a great song.
Still not in my top 10 Radiohead songs. Probably not top 15 either. But that says more about Radiohead’s stellar discography than anything else.
