I'm a 62 year old listening to this. Makes me feel like I should be a 20 year old, laying around in my student digs with headphones on. Radiohead are genius personified.
"Dad. why is my sister's name Rose?" "Because your mom likes roses" "Oh thanks dad" "No problem, Thom Yorke & Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead - No Surprises (Acoustic KROQ show, 2003)"
Alonso Mancini it's phenomenal isn't it! I thought this was recorded in the studio until I heard the crowd. It's mind blowing just how good this rendition is.
Alonso Mancini reminds me of what I've heard about hendrix period concerts, audience sat down, watching, not talking, just truly appreciating what they're seeing
You’re not wrong there, since the song is a “lullaby”, into at last taking your life, in other words going to sleep for the last time. ( this is just how i see the song, so i may be wrong here)
Nah, it’s bleak. This is going to sleep or going emotionally numb or to death or not being able to deal with the unexpected. It’s also completely beautiful and yes, a lullaby. I think a sad one though. According to Thom it’s about someone who is trying to keep it together, but can’t."
The album version was played at my best friends funeral recently. It was his as well as one of my favorites. I have never heard this version...Miss ya bro,
I'm sitting alone watching the stars during the quarentine, drinking wine and smoking a cigarette and thinking about my life. I think this is the most melancolic version of a song that I ever heard.
A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent Silent This is my final fit My final bellyache with No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please Such a pretty house And such a pretty garden No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please
I loved this song before graduating. Then I lived this song through out my 20s and now at 35, I got goosebump again, the bittersweet emotions. I wonder what Thom felt when he wrote this.
I always thought it was about contemplating suicide. "A handshake of carbon monoxide", "this is my final fit, my final belly ache" No more alarms and surprises, just silence from the stresses of life.
Probably nothing much. Just resonating with the music and thinking how can I whine my way through this song? Probably by stretching every word, like I always do. Or something like that.
@@feather314 yeah... I'm at the point where I don't want to die, but if something were going to kill me, I don't think I would move out of the way. I just exist in my own wallowing world where I overthink and struggle. It sucks because I have a good life, but I struggle with insomnia, adhd, depression, and a few other mental and physical illnesses. I hate it so much.
@@riesae_hasahe3rtofg0ld Right there with you. I feel guilty for being so miserable because in the grand scheme of things, I have it pretty good. My brain just refuses to agree with me. I have depression too and I take pills for it and they worked for a while, but I think something went wrong because I’ve had a LOT more suicidal thoughts lately. I prepared myself to go through with it. I even wrote a note. I have everything ready for when it’s time. So now I’ve just stopped caring about anything because, hey, if things go bad, I’ll probably be dead soon after anyway. It’s awful, I know, but it’s almost comforting in a weird way. But if I don’t care about anything, then why do I still have such strong emotions?? It doesn’t make sense. Nothing makes sense. I just hope things will work themselves out eventually because I’m too busy pitying myself to do anything about my problems
@@feather314 I know exactly what you mean. I'm sorry that you are at the point where you are preped to end yourself, I beg you don't do it. In this world, even a good life will beat you down.
This was the song I always used to listen to at the lowest point in my life. I used to see it as a lullaby, but now I *get* the song. Maybe it used to comfort me because of what it's about, but i don't know anymore
Listening this song, lying on the bed in the middle of the night, with broken hearted, depressed, thinking a lot of traumatic memories that ever happened to me and wondering what the fuck is going on with my life ? i don't know, i'm numb, feeling empty, the loneliness really hits me. can i get trough this ? i wanted to feel alive.
I absolutely love this acoustic version of the song, and the still photo that accompanies the audio, even if the two have nothing to do with eachother.
I feel this song resonates with me now more than ever. It’s beautiful but it hurts so bad. We live in a world with constant alarms and surprises after all. Though I feel a little bit less lonely with everyone here appreciating this masterpiece together. All will be okay.
I listen to this song when I feel dysphoric about my body sometimes I wish I was someone I’m not and i don’t know why but this song always seems to help just a tiny bit
AwesomeRobot12 until you forget to turn off autoplay and a loud obnoxious advert comes on before the next song plays alarming you and waking you from your sleep. I asked for no surprises, dammit.

I heard this song on the radio whilst driving for the first time not long after losing my son. Had to pull over and ball my eyes out. Still use it for self-therapy

The fact that No Surprises gotten popular in 2021/2022(?) (Mostly cause of tiktok) and now everyone is giving this version recognition is heart warming to see
Hey, I'll admit I'm not good at this but I just wanna say something. I can't assure you when will things be good again but I hope you still are curious to find out. I'm rooting for you and hope you manage to sort out whatever it is you're currently facing.

I would also want this to be played at my funeral.

This sounds so delicate. Beauty is indeed a fragile gift.

What a beautiful sentence.

So much sadness, pain, through and through. I just hope I and everyone else finds their pretty house with a pretty garden.
"Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden"
As I'm getting older, I'm realizing this bittersweet sleepy feeling. Radiohead turned it into a perfect lullaby.
20 years later and this song still gives me the goosebumps. Radiohead is the best.
This was the song I always used to listen to at the lowest point in my life. I used to see it as a lullaby, but now I *get* the song. Maybe it used to comfort me because of what it's about, but i don't know anymore
I remember when I was 18 when I first heard this song.
Various events, various emotions, now it's a nostalgic memory.
Radiohead was my youth.
radiohead's work of art
its so hard to be the perfect student I just wished they loved me like back then
Listening this song, lying on the bed in the middle of the night, with broken hearted, depressed, thinking a lot of traumatic memories that ever happened to me and wondering what the fuck is going on with my life ? i don't know, i'm numb, feeling empty, the loneliness really hits me. can i get trough this ? i wanted to feel alive.
Hope you're doing better now
