I didn't even know it was Radiohead. I ran to the Jukebox to find out the name of the song before it was too late. Been in love with this song ever since. Definitely my favorite track on the entire album. It just tugs my soul and core. What a sonic gift. ♥

    I saw them play at Liberty Park August 29th, 2001. The back drop was the Twin Towers across the river. It was the last time I saw the Towers with my own eyes. They fell a few weeks later. It was an amazing show and to this day I can bring myself right back to the sounds, the feelings and the vibe of those moments. Music is such a powerful force. It is a sense all it’s own.

    My favourite Radiohead album. OK Computer is a very close 2nd.

    Never would’ve linked Radiohead to Al Green. Thanks!

      i think Al is partly responsible for the current population problem.

    I would recommend learning to play Johnny's guitar piece correctly, i.e. with the D string tuned to E, very satisfying to play.

    The vocals at the end - the ascending bit - sounds exactly like when Ariel gets her voice back at the end of The Little Mermaid. I s**t you not. Its the exact same to my ears.

    You have a defect pixel on your camera... Once seen, it can't be unseen😕 But a really banger video regardless!

    Your strumming of the chords: 5:45 min, so reminds me of Creep, not surprising as Nude (known as Don't Get Any (Big Ideas) at the time - it emerged a couple of years later
