this video made me cry because the guy reminds me a lot of a family friend who has experienced psychosis. it just makes me think of how alone and scared he probably felt. i dont know why im getting so emotional over it
It seems like any person will have a reason to cry with any song. But anyway, I'm sure you can understand that he's not really psychotic. Someone with a drone is really bothering him for some reason. :p How's your friend doing?
VHS is analog and has a distinctively different look, and had mostly gone of style by the time period you are referencing. This is much closer to the look of 8mm digital tape (Digital 8 and Hi-8 come to mind) which would have been favored by skate video makers, especially for the light weight and portability of the cameras.
I think this is mostly poor quality because they are using a drone with a vr lense on it. The camera has to be small and efficient so this look comes along with that
@@adamlane6453 The specific model I'm thinking of is the Sony HVX series, not sure if that records to digital tape! (Though digital tape seems like an oxymoron)
I remember hearing this on the VHS of 'Meeting People is Easy' in the 90s and then transfering the clip to tape (!) so i could listen to it on my walkman....this is great to hear as a full song 25ish years later!
I did the same. Honestly prefer the meeting people is easy versions of big boots(aka man o war) and follow me around, but like you said thems the breaks. And as sparse as this is, it feels more complete to me than anything else on the second disc outside of If You Say The Word. With The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy after How To Disappear, and Follow Me Around after ASOO, then treefingers, then If You Say The Word leading the second side, it feels like Kid A is as complete as it could ever be. How the hell did they shoot this!? Whoever the drone pilot is has skills.
the budget: a drone and a filter the result: a hauntingly fitting video for one of the most underrated songs ever written. two whole chords. unbelievable.
Oh they added about a minute of humming thats new lmao. It’s getting a bit annoying. Radiohead recycling their bsides. Like cmonnnnnnn. I am grateful tho lol
I make music videos for a living and I gotta say, this is one of the slickest and best editing jobs I've seen in quite a while. The transitions between someone holding the drone and it flying around are spot on. Radiohead you and your crew have outdone yourselves once again
It started out giving me Beatles vibes with the distorted vocals and harmonies, but then it became 90's grunge and suddenly i see the link between The Beatles and Nirvana.
Funny you should say that as soon as I heard the first line Stone Temple Pilots came to mind. It would also fit right in on the Alice In Chains "Jar Of Flies" acoustic EP.
@@сергейфилиппович-ь9д This is absolutely a drone - it's a style of very small FPV drone often called "tiny whoops", which is technically a brand name, but is often used to refer to the style anyway. I've fit my small drones through spaces even smaller than the timestamps you mentioned, it just takes practice.
@@MUSTARDTIGERFPV there are absolutely some shots that were done without a drone. like 0:53 is definitely handheld. unless im an idiot which is definitely possible.
If you haven't already, look up the Meeting People Is Easy version, which was recorded live at soundcheck in 1998. That's the closest we have to a full-band recording, and it's beautiful.
These older songs being released is like the best of both worlds. We get new songs/recordings to get hyped over but there's a huge dose of nostalgia to go with it. Its like going back in time, but with something new. Amazing!
I've not had much luck getting Radiohead to click with me (maybe I've not heard enough, I really liked Thom's vocals on one of Flying Lotus' songs) but this almost instantly got stuck in my head and was wondering why. The unplugged comparison makes a lot of sense
For those of you who have been waiting for “Follow Me Around” to be released since 1997, your prayers have finally come true!!! Still curious about how Radiohead has kept this song so neat from 24 years ago, and finally released 🔥

@@J.5.M. yeah, I mean I have no idea if 90’s tech had anything to do with the lyrics way back, but the video made me think of surveillance, even if it’s supposed to literally be an insect bothering you.
@@stevesperdacion4148 I understand the splicing of footage, but with things like flying under tables and other very small spaces you have to already be moving in order to reach those speeds. the manuverability is still incredible regardless of how many takes it took to film each section
I suspect the reason why the footage is not HD/good quality is because they used a mini-drone which are small and 'flat' making them able to go though small spaces. The scary bit is how cheap they are and that anyone can buy one at your nearest electronic shop as they are sold as a kids toy/hobby.
@@ether4211 i like the fact that its low quality, but the sound quality decreases qhen it isnt iploaded in 1080, it wouldnt really change the video quality, maybe it would improve a little bit (it'd look sharper) but nothing too crazy.
25 years later and I still think it's one of their best songs, doesn't need lots of extra production or elements added because it's always been perfect the way it was. God knows how many times I watched that clip from Meeting People Is Easy, it's quite weird seeing it there listed as an actual official track.

Wow, as someone who first got in to radiohead in the early 90's. And now builds and fly's microdrones, where I literally take off from my table and fly out my window to go explore, and then fly back inside to land. I really appreciate this video!
I remember Guy getting tattoos to track down his wife's killer, getting polaroids to remember things at least for a while, driving a drug dealer's Jaguar with a broken window...those were simpler times.
Song is basically "How To Disappear Completely" told in a different light. A more literal interpretation of what Thom was feeling during the OK Computer and KID A era.
@@RustinChole That's what I meant by told in a 'different' light. The musical composition of this song is very one-dimensional. The lyrics outright express Thom's feelings in a literal sense. Nothing will compare to the absolute masterpiece that is "How To Disappear Completely". I feel that's one of the reasons this song was cut/used as a B-Side--because it was a simplified version of "How To Disappear Completely". Nonetheless, I feel we should all feel fortunate to at least have the chance to to listen to this song.
I listen to all genres of music, and on my playlists there are hundreds of different bands. However, ever since 1997 Radiohead has been the only band I’ve followed and cared about. The different styles, the intelligent lyrics and arrangements - it’s astonishing.
@Oltgere every full band version of this they just jammed along, but the og idea in its pure form is as we hear it now, so we didn't really miss out on much imo
@@lukeimontv7086 can't you hear what happens with vocal layers? it seems they are vocoding it with spectral formants of the guitar; whatever it is, this is far from being just a "poorly recorded demo"...
How can you just stand up casually after taking a dump? Same vibes as anime characters waking up, putting on some clothes, eating something quick and going to school. Like wtf do you even shower and brush your teeth?
Took two days off work as I recall, this concert was on a Tuesday. When he played this unreleased and obscure song, the entire crowd sat there speechless. After it was over, many of us looked at each other and just shook our heads in absolute awe. This band was absolutely at the top of their game.
Going back in time I would buy all of radiohead’s albums, what’s to say with bootlegs, I’m waiting in the present time for their fiftieth release, a collector next month and I got all the mixtapes that filtered through this year. I am starting to understand more all sentient forms of life and I still idolise Thom Yorke
I see you in the dark Corner of the street Coming after me, yeah Headlights on full-beam Coming down the fast lane Coming after me, yeah You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around Blowing holes in everything Thatcher's children See you on the way back down Drooling looney tunes Moving in a swarm Moving in a swarm You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around Nowadays I get panicked I cease to exist I have ceased to exist I feel absolutely nothing The words are out of ink The words you know are out of ink You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around
The third part of the first verse was dropped, and the "Tony" part changed to: Blowing holes in everything Thatcher's children See you on the way back down Also, it's "you follow me around" every time now.
This one took me by surprise. I just wanted to left a message for future me: "Its a rainy afternoon, you feel weird because of what happened yesterday. In a few years you'll get back to to this one and you'll remember the feeling, as you listen to it again. You will be in another life that's for sure."
I already liked Radiohead in the "creep days", I loved the bends but when I thought they would play the same thing in the next albums to follow the success, they made ok computer...and again, I thought "well, now, they really are going to play the same style until the end" ...we all know what happened next...they are absolutely brilliant, they do what they want and not what other people want, and they have this thing, like for example when I first eard Cuttooth, I thought "this is one of their greatest songs!!!" and they didnt even put it on record...like with I Promise and lots of others...for example, I wouldnt mind to hear Lozenge of Love before dying...this song is the latest of the ones that other bands would put immediately on record, but radiohead didnt feel like it at the time...they could think of never record it, but they felt like recording it now...like it is nothing special...I remember one comment in a youtube link of Cuttooth, that I can apply to this song and other radiohead bsides: for any other band, it would be a song of a lifetime...for radiohead, it was tuesday.
Haha, I think they just have so many songs (especially from the amazingly creative period between The Bends and OK Computer), and they're perfectionists, they have to get them just 'right'!
there were a great many relative rarities I was lucky enough to see RH perform live -- True Love Waits, Bulletproof, After the Goldrush (partial), Motion Picture Soundtrack, Hunting Bears, the original Reckoner, 4-Minute Warning, Permanent Daylight; but Thom playing Follow Me Around at White River amphitheatre in 2003 was always a uniquely stunning highlight❤️
I remember hearing this song on some Radiohead rarities collection probably 2 decades ago and fiddling around with it on the guitar. Cool to see it officially released so much time later.
I see you in dark, corner of the street Coming after me, yeah Headlights on full beam Coming down the fast lane Coming after me, yeah I would like to change back now To the shadow of, The shadow of my former self It follows me around It follows me around Did you lie to us, Tony? We thought you were different Now you know we’re not so sure Drooling looney tunes Moving in a swarm Moving in a swarm It follows me around It follows me around It follows me around It follows me around Nowadays I get panicked I cease to exist I have ceased to exist I feel absolutely nothing The words are out of ink The words you know are out of ink And follow me around And follow me around And follow me around And follow me around Meeting People is Easy version: I see you in the dark Falling down the fast lane Calling out to me Oh, that’s where I’ll be Crawling out to me Crawling out to me You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around And I’m coming down Maybe I’ll take you for a walk Then I can see you I’m feeling it’s coming down You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around You follow me around I feel it I feel it
Unfortunately, that's exactly why I don't like it. Which I find hard to believe, because it's Radiohead. But this song touches me far less than others.
Yes, the melodies are totally Kurt Cobain! I love the vocoder underneath tho giving it the Radiohead spin. This is now a classic as far as I’m concerned.
Really brilliant visual depiction of dealing with depression as an annoyance that "follows you around" the confines of your personal space. It pesters you so much that it forces you to look in the mirror, and eventually forces you outside of your comfort zone. Sometimes we just run from it, and in this case, he decides to just lock it up somewhere new and walk away from it. Bravo to Radiohead and the filmmakers involved!
The guys to Guy Pearce: ' Hi Guy. It's Radiohead. What are you up to this morning? Can we come to your place and shoot a music video with zero make-up and zero budget?' Guy Pearce: ' Sure. Not doing anything.' :)
I use to force myself to radiohead but it never really clicked. I guess as just times goes by and i finally crave for their music. I still remember when 'how to disappear completely' randomly played on the car r adio one rainy night and I finally dived in to their discography. Ever since then, from time to time, I found myself listening to different tracks. And now I'm excited for this project.
yeah when i was a kid karma police would play on the radio like all the time and i remember hating it so bad and thinking ‘their only good song is creep and they made a thousand weird bad albums lol’ OH MY GOD how things have changed for good and now i love their discography specially kid a and amnesiac which makes this new album release so special to me :))
It looks like this is a direct take off the analog FPV drone feed. It's so seamless that it looks like it's one continuous cut, but then some of the shots are impossible for a drone, like getting hit with a towel and what not. Well done.
Your spot on . Some bits have had clever cuts to make it look like one take. And some is with the drone being held in the hand and waved about. A lot of the bits close to the face. Odd they didn't use something with onboard HD DVR though. That's what I would of done
At first I was disappointed by the lo-fi production, but now as usual I find myself unable to stop listening to it. I love the extra little buzz added to the word "swarm", and the melody shines through so nicely.
Yes I noticed the extra grit on "swarm" too, Radiohead's ability to add such a small detail at just the right time to shift the energy of a song is really remarkable
@@Mike-eg3hn I also prefer the live version of 'Fog' (again) with just the piano, and the original acoustic guitar version of 'Good Morning Mr Magpie' from the webcast. Magical.
I quite like the more recent version of the song that I believe was being worked on for AMSP, definitely has AMSP vibes. Thom performed it live with Jonny at one of his solo concerts iirc
Are you sure it is not the nostalgia that surrounds the band? I wouldn't say this acoustic strumming is a great song but of course it is only my humble opinion.
This song is the type of music that you manage to appreciate over time, and the more times you listen to it, you keep learning. Thank you very much Thom Yorke!
@@christopher2327 lol Radiohead sucks for more than a decade now... Poor melodies, poor inspiration, they lost it, years ago. The peak was Kid A, after that it's decline. You don't seem to know a single thing about what makes a song good or not. Real fans know what I mean.
Everyone: "this is such a masterpiece depicting depression and how it follows you around" Me: this is exactly every time a fly gets in my house and wouldn't leave me alone despite me opening the damn window stupid fly
@@LaceChaser the whole last album "Moon Shaped Pool" was all also tracks Radiohead has had kicking around for years. But never "officially" released. Just like this song here. I guess they are "finally finished" once made available outside of random live recordings... Lol But yeah I get yr point. This song has been pretty much done, for decades!
creo haberla escuchado en el meeting people is easy pero no lo recuerdo muy bien la verdad porque solo me vi ese documental 1 vez se me hizo muy denso como para verlo mas de una vez
These older songs being released is like the best of both worlds. We get new songs/recordings to get hyped over but there's a huge dose of nostalgia to go with it. Its like going back in time, but with something new. Amazing!
It’s just a bummer that it’s not a complete collection of the recording sessions, like OKNOTOK was. They left off 7 great full band, studio quality released b-sides, rather than just adding the four worthwhile tracks from the third disc so we finally have a complete studio recordings reissue - like OKNOTOK. Since it’s not remastered the original albums are sonically identical. So unless you don’t have Kid A and Amnesiac already, it’s a pretty flagrant cash grab. Follow Me Around, If You Say The Word, and Spinning Plates (why us version) are all lovely. But that’s it after that it’s all 1-2 minute scraps. Why do that rather than include the b-sides? I’m a lifelong fan and love everything Radiohead, ESPECIALLY Kid A which is my favorite of theirs, but this..... 🤷🏻♂️
@@RustinChole Hey, Fog Again Again version is dope also. But yeah, they should´ve included the B-sides instead of those untitled tracks and instrumental versions of HTDC, etc.

@@stevesperdacion4148 I understand the splicing of footage, but with things like flying under tables and other very small spaces you have to already be moving in order to reach those speeds. the manuverability is still incredible regardless of how many takes it took to film each section
@@stevesperdacion4148 edited well but thats how Whoop class drones are.. no cgi needed.
I suspect the reason why the footage is not HD/good quality is because they used a mini-drone which are small and 'flat' making them able to go though small spaces. The scary bit is how cheap they are and that anyone can buy one at your nearest electronic shop as they are sold as a kids toy/hobby.
@@ether4211 i like the fact that its low quality, but the sound quality decreases qhen it isnt iploaded in 1080, it wouldnt really change the video quality, maybe it would improve a little bit (it'd look sharper) but nothing too crazy.
Man, Guy Pearce REALLY didn't wanna be in this music video
@@fabrizio713 Yes, but who asked
He deserves an Oscar.
Funny ...you're right, a he came to mind watching this..thinking they should have gotten him. Now I know...thanks. Time goes..he aged.
@@jimjustjim976 Aged like us, Radiohead but V.O.S.P., is what we are in the end.
Hey, pensé que era el único que lo había notado! 👍🏼
25 years later and I still think it's one of their best songs, doesn't need lots of extra production or elements added because it's always been perfect the way it was. God knows how many times I watched that clip from Meeting People Is Easy, it's quite weird seeing it there listed as an actual official track.

I think verse 1 says "calling" after me.
Best band ever, love you guys, thnxx for the music.
Must listen to this with headphones on. The stereo mix is different , very different
I did that.

Wow, as someone who first got in to radiohead in the early 90's. And now builds and fly's microdrones, where I literally take off from my table and fly out my window to go explore, and then fly back inside to land. I really appreciate this video!
I remember Guy getting tattoos to track down his wife's killer, getting polaroids to remember things at least for a while, driving a drug dealer's Jaguar with a broken window...those were simpler times.
He was an Amnesiac
@@NoUA-camName1 Retrograde or Anterograde, iForget

Is this David Lynchs reference?? Lost Highway?
@@DanielAlvarez-oq8ex no, it's from the movie Memento. Guy Pierce was the lead actor in that movie.
its never a true radiohead song until thom goes "OOOOOOAAAHHHHHHH HUUUUUUHHNNNNG AAAAAAH"
Song is basically "How To Disappear Completely" told in a different light. A more literal interpretation of what Thom was feeling during the OK Computer and KID A era.
Except how to disappear blossoms beautifully with the addition of the rest of the band. This does not.
Nah, you’re just reading that into it.
@@RustinChole That's what I meant by told in a 'different' light. The musical composition of this song is very one-dimensional. The lyrics outright express Thom's feelings in a literal sense. Nothing will compare to the absolute masterpiece that is "How To Disappear Completely". I feel that's one of the reasons this song was cut/used as a B-Side--because it was a simplified version of "How To Disappear Completely". Nonetheless, I feel we should all feel fortunate to at least have the chance to to listen to this song.
No lol
@@martinsen2423 art can be interpreted in many ways and can mean something different to each person. that’s the beauty of it
This song isn't about depression. It's about aging. You can't escape it.
You can trap it in a car though.
and loneliness (of a white male 50+ 🤷🏼♂️)
easily cuttable

It's about neoliberals and new labour
@@laurentpenot2656 Not sure what relevance that has to feeling lonely.
I listen to all genres of music, and on my playlists there are hundreds of different bands. However, ever since 1997 Radiohead has been the only band I’ve followed and cared about. The different styles, the intelligent lyrics and arrangements - it’s astonishing.
i feel the exact same way!

The production is amazing. On headphones it's like Thom is singing directly in my ear. Everything is crisp and clear.
@Oltgere every full band version of this they just jammed along, but the og idea in its pure form is as we hear it now, so we didn't really miss out on much imo
Still 128kb/s though, UA-cam...
What production? It sounds like a poorly recorded demo
I have no idea what that effect is on the backing vocal track but it's super cool, it's got Everything In Its Right Place and Kid A vibes.
@@lukeimontv7086 can't you hear what happens with vocal layers? it seems they are vocoding it with spectral formants of the guitar; whatever it is, this is far from being just a "poorly recorded demo"...
How can you just stand up casually after taking a dump? Same vibes as anime characters waking up, putting on some clothes, eating something quick and going to school. Like wtf do you even shower and brush your teeth?
guy did an awesome job conveying the paranoia, anxiety, and fear so often present in radiohead's work.
This song feels nostalgic
that's possible. it's not a new song
It's grungy. Reminds me of Soundgarden and Alice in Chains.
Did they used tp play it live?...
IRON MAN 4
It really does!
Very The Bends EP era. Has a similar vibe as How Can You Be Sure.
Took two days off work as I recall, this concert was on a Tuesday. When he played this unreleased and obscure song, the entire crowd sat there speechless. After it was over, many of us looked at each other and just shook our heads in absolute awe. This band was absolutely at the top of their game.
Man...just never know what's coming from Radiohead. Pairing such a classic song with a fresh (yet old-looking) video is just genius.
It´s so strange, that a 20+ year old b-side of Radiohead can move me as much as any other regular album track of the last 20+ years.
this is not a b-side but a discarded song.
Great tune.
Can't say I've ever noticed any similarity previously; but this could almost be Nirvana unplugged.
This is as R.E.M. inspired as it can get (and Nirvana were heavily influenced by them too, so that comparison is also quite accurate!).
came here to say this
Right?? Especially the "Comin out to meee iiee eeeh"
nick drake inspired
This is in key
Going back in time I would buy all of radiohead’s albums, what’s to say with bootlegs, I’m waiting in the present time for their fiftieth release, a collector next month and I got all the mixtapes that filtered through this year. I am starting to understand more all sentient forms of life and I still idolise Thom Yorke

Unfortunately they used a different version of the lyrics omitting the Tony Blair reference.
The third part of the first verse was dropped, and the "Tony" part changed to:
Blowing holes in everything

See you on the way back down
Also, it's "you follow me around" every time now.

This is pure grunge, love it. Could you imagine how amazing a collaboration of Thom with Alice in Chains back in the 90s would have been?
That would be unreal. This song has a definite Sap/Jar of Flies period feel.
@Mr. White Three words you need to know: Music is subjective.
hmm
chris cornell would've sounded incredible on this
Nop
This one took me by surprise. I just wanted to left a message for future me: "Its a rainy afternoon, you feel weird because of what happened yesterday. In a few years you'll get back to to this one and you'll remember the feeling, as you listen to it again. You will be in another life that's for sure."
I already liked Radiohead in the "creep days", I loved the bends but when I thought they would play the same thing in the next albums to follow the success, they made ok computer...and again, I thought "well, now, they really are going to play the same style until the end" ...we all know what happened next...they are absolutely brilliant, they do what they want and not what other people want, and they have this thing, like for example when I first eard Cuttooth, I thought "this is one of their greatest songs!!!" and they didnt even put it on record...like with I Promise and lots of others...for example, I wouldnt mind to hear Lozenge of Love before dying...this song is the latest of the ones that other bands would put immediately on record, but radiohead didnt feel like it at the time...they could think of never record it, but they felt like recording it now...like it is nothing special...I remember one comment in a youtube link of Cuttooth, that I can apply to this song and other radiohead bsides: for any other band, it would be a song of a lifetime...for radiohead, it was tuesday.
Haha, I think they just have so many songs (especially from the amazingly creative period between The Bends and OK Computer), and they're perfectionists, they have to get them just 'right'!
Seriously. Imagine recording a song as amazing as Cuttooth and then just relegating it to an obscure b-side.
Nice M. Bison reference in the ending there.
It was on a Friday, not Tuesday
@@biffclimpo8242 I came here to post that :) hehe
there were a great many relative rarities I was lucky enough to see RH perform live -- True Love Waits, Bulletproof, After the Goldrush (partial), Motion Picture Soundtrack, Hunting Bears, the original Reckoner, 4-Minute Warning, Permanent Daylight; but Thom playing Follow Me Around at White River amphitheatre in 2003 was always a uniquely stunning highlight❤️
Props to the cameraman's ability to change sizes
I remember hearing this song on some Radiohead rarities collection probably 2 decades ago and fiddling around with it on the guitar. Cool to see it officially released so much time later.

Does the song talk about schizophrenia?
Thanks!
They changed the tony line.
There is something very Nirvana-esque about this track. Great stuff.
thought the same!
Unfortunately, that's exactly why I don't like it. Which I find hard to believe, because it's Radiohead. But this song touches me far less than others.
Yes, the melodies are totally Kurt Cobain! I love the vocoder underneath tho giving it the Radiohead spin. This is now a classic as far as I’m concerned.
Radiohead is bigger
Thought the same, especially when it got to the chorus
These guys have their own distinctive acoustic guitar tone.
Really brilliant visual depiction of dealing with depression as an annoyance that "follows you around" the confines of your personal space. It pesters you so much that it forces you to look in the mirror, and eventually forces you outside of your comfort zone. Sometimes we just run from it, and in this case, he decides to just lock it up somewhere new and walk away from it.
Bravo to Radiohead and the filmmakers involved!
Lol
Lol
Radiohead: makes a song or a video
Everyone: “it’s depression”
I thought it was anxiety.
I think the man is paranoid 👻😑
The guys to Guy Pearce: ' Hi Guy. It's Radiohead. What are you up to this morning? Can we come to your place and shoot a music video with zero make-up and zero budget?'
Guy Pearce: ' Sure. Not doing anything.' :)
I use to force myself to radiohead but it never really clicked. I guess as just times goes by and i finally crave for their music. I still remember when 'how to disappear completely' randomly played on the car r adio one rainy night and I finally dived in to their discography. Ever since then, from time to time, I found myself listening to different tracks. And now I'm excited for this project.
yeah when i was a kid karma police would play on the radio like all the time and i remember hating it so bad and thinking ‘their only good song is creep and they made a thousand weird bad albums lol’ OH MY GOD how things have changed for good and now i love their discography specially kid a and amnesiac which makes this new album release so special to me :))
For me it was when I gently fell asleep to Kid A that their music clicked.
same shit here, my guy.
It clicked immediately for me followed by years of being accused of pretentiousness.
When I force myself to Radiohead it usually ends up with me sitting on the roof eating an orange.
all of Radiohead's music video were all crafted so well. so good. intricately directed. creatively filmed.

Check out sound of Massive Attack’s recent stuff.
The good thing about Radiohead is they put you in touch with your feelings, The bad thing about Radiohead is they put you in touch with your feelings.
When songs ‘Thinking About You’ and ‘Just’ haunts Kid A’s halls.
Thom Yorkee touches some unvisited emotions through his voice 😭❤️
You know what that's a god tier drone controlling
It looks like this is a direct take off the analog FPV drone feed. It's so seamless that it looks like it's one continuous cut, but then some of the shots are impossible for a drone, like getting hit with a towel and what not. Well done.
Your spot on . Some bits have had clever cuts to make it look like one take. And some is with the drone being held in the hand and waved about. A lot of the bits close to the face. Odd they didn't use something with onboard HD DVR though. That's what I would of done
@@MikeHarrisFPV they must have wanted that 90's analog look
Being an Fpv pilot... So glad to see fpv in some clips...
Love FPV and love Radiohead and Thom Yorke...
At first I was disappointed by the lo-fi production, but now as usual I find myself unable to stop listening to it. I love the extra little buzz added to the word "swarm", and the melody shines through so nicely.
Yes I noticed the extra grit on "swarm" too, Radiohead's ability to add such a small detail at just the right time to shift the energy of a song is really remarkable
Can’t wait!!! Need this right now. Thank you! Respect from a little band of Radiohead fans in Canada 🇨🇦
I'm still waiting for the (uninterrupted) full-band version from Meeting People is Easy.
Still the best version of this song to this day.
@@Mike-eg3hn I also prefer the live version of 'Fog' (again) with just the piano, and the original acoustic guitar version of 'Good Morning Mr Magpie' from the webcast. Magical.
I quite like the more recent version of the song that I believe was being worked on for AMSP, definitely has AMSP vibes. Thom performed it live with Jonny at one of his solo concerts iirc
This is how it felt the past two years… and I’m still listening today.
Hi I Recommend checking out a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530 I listened to that song and I have to admit, it sucked.
One of my favorite unreleased nirvana singles, glad its finally getting a proper release.

C'mon, we all know it was Colin flying the drone. He was just trying to say hi!

Except Creep Rmx,
But that wasn’t meant to be good fyi
This one is an odd misfire.
Are you sure it is not the nostalgia that surrounds the band? I wouldn't say this acoustic strumming is a great song but of course it is only my humble opinion.

This song is the type of music that you manage to appreciate over time, and the more times you listen to it, you keep learning. Thank you very much Thom Yorke!
this is Radiohead why are you thanking to Thom Yorke bruh?
Why are Radiohead's B sides always as good as their regular releases?
They are incapable of writing bad songs
@@christopher2327 lol Radiohead sucks for more than a decade now... Poor melodies, poor inspiration, they lost it, years ago. The peak was Kid A, after that it's decline. You don't seem to know a single thing about what makes a song good or not. Real fans know what I mean.

Huh? 20 years to do an acoustic guitar and vocals? Doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.
@@LaceChaser the whole last album "Moon Shaped Pool" was all also tracks Radiohead has had kicking around for years. But never "officially" released. Just like this song here. I guess they are "finally finished" once made available outside of random live recordings... Lol

I remember listening to this back when I was 16, trying to come up with a music video for this in my head. Who knew someday I wouldn't have too
These older songs being released is like the best of both worlds. We get new songs/recordings to get hyped over but there's a huge dose of nostalgia to go with it. Its like going back in time, but with something new. Amazing!
OMG thats true, im crying now 🥲
It’s just a bummer that it’s not a complete collection of the recording sessions, like OKNOTOK was. They left off 7 great full band, studio quality released b-sides, rather than just adding the four worthwhile tracks from the third disc so we finally have a complete studio recordings reissue - like OKNOTOK.
Since it’s not remastered the original albums are sonically identical. So unless you don’t have Kid A and Amnesiac already, it’s a pretty flagrant cash grab. Follow Me Around, If You Say The Word, and Spinning Plates (why us version) are all lovely.
But that’s it after that it’s all 1-2 minute scraps. Why do that rather than include the b-sides? I’m a lifelong fan and love everything Radiohead, ESPECIALLY Kid A which is my favorite of theirs, but this.....
🤷🏻♂️
When I discovered the B-Sides "Palo Alto" and "Maquiladora" circa 2010, I was in ecstasy.
