this song sounds like despair, no hope left just acceptance. it feels like what it feels like to be absoloutly crushed, tears streaming down your face but somehow everything is ok
It definitely brings up emotions of sadness and despair and your life being crushed . I always thought it’s about the realization that these socially accepted conforming norms of what we see as having a happy life are merely going to make you more miserable and dull and end up drowning you slowly till your time’s up . If I’d put it very direct , a life lived without surprises is like slow suicide but if you seek further than these norms you get curious about what really matters in your life and this brings you true happiness .
I love how his smile at the end is completely genuine because if you watch behind the scenes clips of making this video you see how incredibly frustrated he was in how many attempts it took to hold his breath that long, so when he finally got it he couldn’t help but smile
Merry Christmas and happy new year people of the internet, the truth is I always listen to this song for the anxiety and depression that consumes me day by day, I hope you seek the help you need, God bless you.
This song was played at my mums funeral in 2011 it was her and my dads favourite song. My dad also passed and this song played at his funeral. Rip to the both of them and I’ll always be internally grateful for the music they played to me like this.
It's strange how all these songs with a "sad" meaning to it are always in a major key, it's like a sweet depression or a nice cry... I find it yes strange, but also beautiful.
My grandmother passed away a month ago. She was a blessing that God gave me. I will never forget the times when she played PS2 with me and her wonderful chocolate cakes that no one will ever repeat. Sometimes I listen to this and other songs that convey the vibe of being with her. Thank you for everything, grandma.🕊🕊
I was a freshman in college when this album came out. One random night, i woke up around 3am, hungry. For some reason, there was deli turkey meat in my little dorm room fridge. Also cheese and bread. I made a sandwich and ate it while this song played. It was a glorious 3 minutes and a turkey sandwich I will never forget. Love this album so much.
To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which is Powerful be with you all❤.
This morning my best friend died, he was 17, last night he played this song on his guitar and sent it to me, I have nothing left than this masterpiece. Respect
the intro gives me chills, the choruses give me chills, the instrumental break gives me chills, the "such a pretty house..." part gives me chills, and the outro gives me chills are you seeing a pattern here?
This song, to me, sounds like what sadness feels like. Not necessarily depression, but more melancholy. It’s like the feeling of mild gloom that hangs over everyone from time to time put into music.
This song never fails to make me cry like a kid. Especially at the part " no alarms and no suprises please". I've felt like my whole life as been just suprises and changes thrown at me. From my mother leaving me and my family all of a sudden, to my father suddenly neglecting us and ignoring my existence and needing to throw my childhood away for my siblings , to suddenly my father leaving us in another country on our own with my grandmother. To my mother suddenly wanted custody of us, our education ruined, getting so stressed about taking care of my family to the point that I got gastritis and anxiety.. its all been surpises, sudden changes that I had to force myself to adapt to.. I'm so tired, I just want to live a normal teenage life, worry about my exams and education instead of worrying about whether I'll survive or not. Even my friends who I thought will be by my side no matter what are giving up on me, I just feel like everyone gave up on me.. my parents, my family, my friends.. everyone.. I feel so alone.. I tried my best, I did my best to help everyone around me, I tried my best to be a good older sibling, a good friend, a good kid, a good student, a good person.. but everything just feels like it went to waste. I did my best.. yet everyone still gave up on me, I really tried my best.. but not even one person saw how much I'm struggling, and now I gave up on myself too, I can't bring myself to even care about my basic needs anymore:) I couldn't care less anymore. I just want things to be normal. I don't want any more suprises and changes,, I want a normal life EDIT: hello! I've come back and I just wanted to say thank you to every single person who gave me so much love and comfort in the replies. I promise when I say this that reading all that made me feel so loved and cared for, and even tho things aren't looking too good for me.. I for once in my life I feel like I'm not alone and can finally go through this.The kindness of strangers really is something so amazing! it reminded me that there's still so many truly amazing and kind people in this world!. You all saved my life, thanks to your kind and loving words, I truly feel like I'm not alone. ( P.S I've made it a habit to read through the comments every day)
I know this hurts a lot... But you Will be okay Maybe It take a lot of time, but don't give Up on you... You are worthy, you are loved and you are important. I don't even know you, but I'm proud of you 💜
@@luceritocat203 thank you so much, u don't know how much this means to me.. thank you for being proud of me, and I hope you know that your also loved, worthy and important too! I hope your always happy
Hey future me! I hope you have a great time at school and at home, I hope that dad’s coming back from the hospital. I hope that you’ll have a great time ;)
I found a guy in the metro of Paris listening this song on his headphones so high that i could hear it too. Was a good travel but he looked very sad :(
Fairy Nekoko Un français ! Radiohead est un groupe très mélencolique...Ce mec à du se faire larguer par sa copine ou quelque chose dans le genre et écouter cette chanson pour lui peut être une sorte d'exutoire
the backing vocals at 3:08 always get me. the main lyrics being "no alarms and no surprises" while behind it, much quieter but more urgent is the "get me out of here, get me out" really does something for me.
When i left my friends apartment around 3:11AM something just told me to go to the rooftop and said "you wouldn't wanna miss it" and when i went to the rooftop this song played on my earphones, when i saw the full moon and the cities lights everything felt calming, it's so quiet. It's like i was in a dream were all the sounds around me were absent and the only sound that was present was this song. it just felt like i was being hugged by the wind. I stayed on the rooftop while the full moon slowly faded away.
My parents would play this song to me as a baby on long car rides. I've always associated it with sleep and comfort, yet I hear the melancholy overtone listening today. I'm left with a strange feeling. Not joy, not sadness; not even nostalgia. I could only describe it as raw emotion. This song simply makes me want to feel my feelings, and I think that's pretty special.
Yeah, all depends on context and personal outlook. For me, it's just expressing how blissful it would be to never have to worry again... by simply no longer being around.
@GiveMeThatLetter it is so depressingly carthatic to know that a singular solution to all of our issues is so commonly shared...yet choosing to indugle in that communion leaves us with nothing to share. The darkest bond. I am trying to weigh the price for this peace. But does the cost even matter if I'm not there to pay it?
@GiveMeThatLetter it would be peacefull. Most of us have this feeling sometimes. Everything is overwhelming and there are way to many people that tries to take advance of you. Trying to cut lines. All the noise you know it. But there is one reason to stay. We need you. The rest of us feeling alone. We have to try to make it better. Else it will never happen. I dont know you. But I need to know you are out there.

@Kann No you don’t man. I am currently a senior in high school and I want to go back to middle school already. I am terrified of the future. I just don’t think you realize how easy you have it yet. I’ve realized it and I still have it “easy” per se.
I am writing this comment on 23:15 December 31 2024. This song gives hope and love to everything past and what will happen. The song goes deep inside the heart and turns it on. Everyone have a happy new year! And goodbye to stranger who maybe read it in 10 years, or less.
this song's been playing in my head on repeat lately. it's getting awfully hard to keep my head up. on the bright side, I know life can bring better days. I just don't feel so good. that's all.
I recommend listening to Miss Me by The Impures if you're looking for new music cx I think you might like it or Quiet SOul by The Impures is good too cx
I think everyone knows this, but I think it'll be a nice reminder: The No Surprises video was made by speeding up the song in a fast pace while Thom is actually in there, holding his breath until the very short 3rd verse happens. As you can tell, Thom fucking hated it, taking many attempts to do it, swearing his brains out when he fails. There's a reason why he was smiling at the end. You can see it in the Radiohead documentary, 'Meeting People Is Easy.'
One of the greatest songs ever written. Not sure if this is what the song was written about, but it perfectly encapsulates all the feelings that come right before considering suicide. You don't feel sad or hateful or anything, you just want to go home or go to sleep, when you're already home, or already asleep. It's the feeling of not wanting to wake up. Hope everyone gets through it.
It's the feeling when you just want nothing anymore. Nothings exciting and nothings special no more. All you want and feel is now nothing. It's not the feeling of ending your life, it's the feeling of wanting to be nothing anymore. When you've just had enough
I'd heard the song before so i was interested what people in the comments thought it meant, upon reading this i started crying as i recognised this was exactly where i'd been too, i'm very happy with my trajectory now and how much i'm learning about how the mind works, and its helped me to reshape my life
The song is about wanting peace from all of the depression and anxiety and shits that happen as the main character watch it all unfold like the Airbag that save his life
It's 3:07am (Japan Standard Time), my chest is aching, my nose is blocked, im alone at home and listening to this masterpiece for a relief after all these tiring weeks. I'm not depressed, all I need is no alarms and no surprises. Edit: I made it out alive, thanks y'all.
Same here man but a child bc I get no sleep as well now I'm on a break for everything thank God for the amazing life and everything he has done to make us safe
That's precisely it: the feeling of emptiness after losing something, but that something is yourself. It's the ennui of forcing yourself into a role that everyone tells you you should fit but you don't.
This song reminded me of something.....and now...I want every stranger to know that please spend time with your loved ones. Do what makes you happy, without worrying about the world. Be with those who love you and those you love, because life is just for a few days!!!After we're gone, no one will even remember us, only a few people will be affected by our absence. So please, shower your loved ones with love. If there's any resentment, forgive and rebuild relationships....Because if you think about it, you'll realize that tomorrow is uncertain. Who knows, everything might end tomorrow. You might not even get the time to do or say anything....So enjoy every moment, enjoy life!!!
For non-English speakers, without knowing what the lyrics of this song mean, the voices and sounds of this wonderful song invite us to reflect. And when we read the lyrics, they transmit the same as we felt. Amazing...
The backing vocals in the last chorus “get me out of here” are perfection. It’s how I feel going through my daily life. There’s a voice in my head singing Radiohead.
The song captures the essence of that betrayal and the ensuing emotional turmoil. It speaks to the transformation of a cherished relationship into a bittersweet memory, a reminder of what once was and what could have been. The lyrics resonate deeply, reflecting the sorrow and acceptance that come with recognizing that someone you held dear is now just a poignant chapter in your life story. Every time I listen to this song, it brings back a flood of memories and emotions. It's a mix of nostalgia for the good times and the sting of realizing that those moments are gone forever. The pain of losing someone you thought would always be there, only to find out they were meant to teach you a lesson, is something that this song perfectly encapsulates. It's a reminder that life is unpredictable and sometimes those closest to us can cause the deepest wounds. The healing process is tough, but songs like this one help us process and understand our feelings, giving us a sense of solidarity in knowing we're not alone in our struggles. The experience has made me more cautious and reflective, yet it's also a testament to personal growth. It’s about finding strength in adversity and learning to navigate the complexities of human relationships. This song, with its raw and honest lyrics, serves as both a comfort and a cathartic outlet for all those emotions.
@@biblical2699 He doesn’t actually. I had the pleasure of meeting him by accident and I was afraid because they say “don’t meet your hero’s” and the press gave them a negative spin. What an amazing surprise it was, he was happy, joking, inquisitive and he listened. The entire band I realized sitting there before I met Thom, afraid I’d be found and kicked out, were just a bunch of regular guys, so polite as I listened to their conversations. This was backstage at their tour for Kid A / Amnesiac. One of the best nights of my life.
This song feels like sitting in a chair; blankly staring, calmly watching, nonchalantly acting, and emptily sitting there as the world burns. Complete chaos and utter destruction around you, yet you just sit there. Empty and accepting
The way that this song touches and hurts my heart in ways I can't explain the fact that this song is about wanting to live a peaceful life somewhere in a peaceful place, when you've been living in a chaotic/problematic family system and environment makes me long for silence and peace more than I could ever imagine.
This song is strangely nostalgic , it reminded me of my friend that died a few years.Only if i known her letter at the beginning before she died , i always chuckle at her shyness and kindness
I’m tired. Fighting mental illness my whole life. Every single day is tiring, a uphill battle. I’m fighting like I always have. Maybe one day life will be easier. If you’re reading this and you’re struggling, please keep fighting I believe in you.
I know what you're saying, but for the most part I disagree. Radiohead's passion shines through everything they do, so in this way they make me feel alive with their music (regardless of whether this comes as amplification of negative or positive feelings. both are just a part of being alive)
This is the first song that truly made me cry after losing my cousin 6 months ago. And I keep revisiting this song because it makes me think of her and I feel that she’s still alive, even for just a moment.
OK Computer is one of the finest albums from the '90s and, perhaps, of all time. I was 15 when this album came out and I bought it on my 16th birthday. I remember hearing the tracks playing on the radio clear as day, when radio still had real power and influence. I'd never heard a sound like this before and the whole album was a total masterpiece from beginning to end. 25 years later if I ever want to go back to those fun memories of the '90s and my teenage years, I can always play this album. Thanks, Radiohead!
I'm curious: as a whole does the millennial generation consider Radiohead the best band ever? I mean does Radiohead rank first, even it's by a minority of people and maybe not that large a minority? If it's not Radiohead, who is it?
In case you couldn’t tell by the lyrics “A handshake of carbon monoxide, with no alarms and no surprises”, it’s about a depressed man sitting in his car in a garage with the engine on and falling asleep, suffocating in his sleep from the engine fumes
my iq is 2 ...And wanting to back out last second! “Get me out of here!” background vocals at the end. But “No alarms and no surprises” continues, as it’s too late...
my mom recently discovered she might have a tumor. Listening to this crying as hell in my work. Hope she get better soon, if not I will always love you mom. - 13/08/2024
When I was in Japan years ago, I sang this one of the times I went out to Karaoke with my (non-English speaking) Japanese friends. After it was over, they were all like, "What a beautiful song!" I didn't have the heart to tell them what the lyrics meant.
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 And 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 (get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises, please (get me out of here)
The best bit is the genuine smile at 3:06. It fits the moment in the track perfectly but in fact it was after a load of failed takes where he couldn't hold his breath for long enough under pressure. The relief is genuine because he knows he wont have a director repeatedly half drowning him any more 🙂
This album got me through the deepest, darkest winter of my life during the winter of 1997-98. In high school, depressed as hell, it was like these guys were speaking directly to me. I felt every inch of OK Computer
🖤LYRICS 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 And 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 (get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises, please (get me out of here)
I love the very genuine look of triumph on his face after the helmet empties. Knowing it took many, many hours of frustration and near-death experiences to get this video right, getting the finishing take was the most genuine triumph he could've had.
For me the song is similar to that, sounds like people who hate their lives but are too scared/numb to do anything about it so they just end up living a boring life they hate eg. “A job that slowly kills you”, “handshake with carbon monoxide”, “get me out of here” and it’s sad because I see people around me turning into these people who they obviously don’t want to be
I love how the water drains just as he sings about the “pretty house and pretty garden” almost as if he finally found what he was looking for and he’s no longer drowning. I’m sure there a million ways to interpret this masterpiece of a music video.
I don't know about that. I always interpreted it as "look, such a pretty house and pretty garden and they are so useless, so superficial, I fought for them and now look at me, I'm killing myself nonetheless. It was a pointless pursuit". There are really a lot of ways to interpret this, I agree.
@@francescopassero8369 the last quote in my opinion represents the "common first world dream". A pretty house, with a big garden, a wife and an happy family. With a normal job. No aspirations, no dreams, only peacefulness. No alarms, no surprises, nothing that could disturb your quiet, boring life
An interesting fact: Thom Yorke is afraid of water since childhood (he almost drowned in the river), but here we see him holding his breath, isn't he a unique person?)
Most comments are missing the detail of this song. It feels suffocated, desperate, and worn down. When you just can't take it anymore. The major "happy" key makes it feel dark and twisted. It isn't just 'nice' or 'sad'. It sounds calm and pretty, as a disguise. Like how we cover up our desperation with a smile. That makes this song so impactful.
It's referring to escaping the ideal life the guy who the song focuses on has a beautiful wife a nice house and a good job but feels like he's drowning, the water draining represents him getting free from the ideal life finally
this song feels like so many things. its when you're finished sobbing and you're sitting numbly. its your parent giving you a hug telling you to breathe. its having your friends seeing you cry for the first time. its trying self harm for the first time to see what it feels like. its just so much all at once.
the feeling of laying peacefully and exhausted in your bed in the middle of the night after crying the whole evening is what this song always felt like to me. Feeling the softness of your pillow, feeling the cold air from your window after feeling like the world will end. There is a peace one feels after crying out their worries, even if they're not gone.
Basically just says that the life we’re sold isn’t worth it. “A job that slowly kills you, bruises that won’t heal” “I’ll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide” Basically a quiet slow life is better than killing yourself for money
This song is so poignant to me. Being mentally ill is exhausting. It sucks being stuck in this constant cycle of just trying to get through. My interpretation of this song is its the peacefulness of giving up. Of being at rest finally.
Millie is correct! Some days are tougher than others. But we learn how to fight through the tough days and make the next one better than the one before. Life sucks sometimes but there are still a lot of things to be thankful for. I just started volunteering at a dog rescue recently and it has helped. Find something you love and go for it. Everything will be alright.
it kind of reminds me of being on the outside just constantly in bed and tired and its kind of okay because im not some starving person in another country and everyone else is just living their lives and being happy but i cant be for some reason and that just makes it all feel worse. i know this song is just about giving up and accepting and trying to live the "white picket fence" life and just swallowing all the pills.. the music itself is so interesting though. "have a nice life" is pretty depressing music but makes me feel better sometimes too. its nice knowing that at least one other person kind of feels the same way sometimes at least, so you dont always feel like a complete alien.
Find it in yourself and fight against the pain. meditate on what makes you mentally ill and slowly untangle the threads that tangle your mind. Break your cycle by doing things you don't usually do like if you have a creative mind then draw what you picture in your mind, create your own characters and write stories.
I always have a problem calming down. Breathing techniques dont work, it doesnt help if someone talks me through it or anything. it sucks. But this song has always calmed me down without fail. I love it. thank you.
nothing hurts more than your favorite person turning into a life lesson.
😢
Fvck man, Don't make me remember her again
its not on our plan but it happens turning the other plans to lesson
That hurts to think about..
This is deep af
this song sounds like despair, no hope left just acceptance. it feels like what it feels like to be absoloutly crushed, tears streaming down your face but somehow everything is ok
This!!!!
It definitely brings up emotions of sadness and despair and your life being crushed . I always thought it’s about the realization that these socially accepted conforming norms of what we see as having a happy life are merely going to make you more miserable and dull and end up drowning you slowly till your time’s up . If I’d put it very direct , a life lived without surprises is like slow suicide but if you seek further than these norms you get curious about what really matters in your life and this brings you true happiness .

Doesn't this song portray a suicidal thought? He is thinking of ending it all without flashy appearance.

Fascinating
it sounds better and more touching than all the fictional comments about deceased relatives who loved a certain song.
To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which is Powerful be with you all❤.

This song, to me, sounds like what sadness feels like. Not necessarily depression, but more melancholy. It’s like the feeling of mild gloom that hangs over everyone from time to time put into music.
It’s literally loneliness made into a song.

This song never fails to make me cry like a kid. Especially at the part " no alarms and no suprises please". I've felt like my whole life as been just suprises and changes thrown at me. From my mother leaving me and my family all of a sudden, to my father suddenly neglecting us and ignoring my existence and needing to throw my childhood away for my siblings , to suddenly my father leaving us in another country on our own with my grandmother. To my mother suddenly wanted custody of us, our education ruined, getting so stressed about taking care of my family to the point that I got gastritis and anxiety.. its all been surpises, sudden changes that I had to force myself to adapt to.. I'm so tired, I just want to live a normal teenage life, worry about my exams and education instead of worrying about whether I'll survive or not. Even my friends who I thought will be by my side no matter what are giving up on me, I just feel like everyone gave up on me.. my parents, my family, my friends.. everyone.. I feel so alone.. I tried my best, I did my best to help everyone around me, I tried my best to be a good older sibling, a good friend, a good kid, a good student, a good person.. but everything just feels like it went to waste. I did my best.. yet everyone still gave up on me, I really tried my best.. but not even one person saw how much I'm struggling, and now I gave up on myself too, I can't bring myself to even care about my basic needs anymore:) I couldn't care less anymore. I just want things to be normal. I don't want any more suprises and changes,, I want a normal life
EDIT: hello! I've come back and I just wanted to say thank you to every single person who gave me so much love and comfort in the replies. I promise when I say this that reading all that made me feel so loved and cared for, and even tho things aren't looking too good for me.. I for once in my life I feel like I'm not alone and can finally go through this.The kindness of strangers really is something so amazing! it reminded me that there's still so many truly amazing and kind people in this world!.
You all saved my life, thanks to your kind and loving words, I truly feel like I'm not alone.
( P.S I've made it a habit to read through the comments every day)

I found a guy in the metro of Paris listening this song on his headphones so high that i could hear it too. Was a good travel but he looked very sad :(
sorry for my english
Perhaps you should offer him a cup of coffee :((
Fairy Nekoko Un français ! Radiohead est un groupe très mélencolique...Ce mec à du se faire larguer par sa copine ou quelque chose dans le genre et écouter cette chanson pour lui peut être une sorte d'exutoire
Fairy Nekoko You should have asked him why he was so sad.
Fairy Nekoko aw you could of talked to him, have a conversation! Thanks for sharing
The song might be depressive but the instrumental behind is like giving you a pat on the shoulders saying "Hey, Everything is going to be fine"
I always interpreted the music as a lullaby. The song to coax you into eternal sleep, i.e. death.
Nice. Agreed.
It's the magic of the minor fourth chord.
I always interpreted it as the peace you get after accepting what you will do with your life
@@cristianjuarez1086 End it?
the backing vocals at 3:08 always get me. the main lyrics being "no alarms and no surprises" while behind it, much quieter but more urgent is the "get me out of here, get me out" really does something for me.
Exactly right
I've never realized they sang "get me out of here", thanks for sharing!

When i left my friends apartment around 3:11AM something just told me to go to the rooftop and said "you wouldn't wanna miss it" and when i went to the rooftop this song played on my earphones, when i saw the full moon and the cities lights everything felt calming, it's so quiet. It's like i was in a dream were all the sounds around me were absent and the only sound that was present was this song.
it just felt like i was being hugged by the wind. I stayed on the rooftop while the full moon slowly faded away.
Woah
Porksword pfp
i see it :")
A christian would say "God was talking to you"
I feel it
My parents would play this song to me as a baby on long car rides. I've always associated it with sleep and comfort, yet I hear the melancholy overtone listening today. I'm left with a strange feeling. Not joy, not sadness; not even nostalgia. I could only describe it as raw emotion. This song simply makes me want to feel my feelings, and I think that's pretty special.
It's exactly this feeling
same, you just feel brave enough to feel everything
So, did you bring down the government?
well said❤
Then esoteric/surreal
I am still a child, yet whenever I hear this song, a wave of nostalgia and good times washes over me.

This song sounds so sad yet comforting it feels like someone is patting you on your shoulder and saying everything is going to be ok
isso que eu gosto mesmo mano
Yeah, all depends on context and personal outlook. For me, it's just expressing how blissful it would be to never have to worry again... by simply no longer being around.
@GiveMeThatLetter it is so depressingly carthatic to know that a singular solution to all of our issues is so commonly shared...yet choosing to indugle in that communion leaves us with nothing to share. The darkest bond.
I am trying to weigh the price for this peace. But does the cost even matter if I'm not there to pay it?
The song does have a bittersweet vibe going on
@GiveMeThatLetter it would be peacefull. Most of us have this feeling sometimes. Everything is overwhelming and there are way to many people that tries to take advance of you. Trying to cut lines. All the noise you know it.
But there is one reason to stay. We need you. The rest of us feeling alone. We have to try to make it better. Else it will never happen.
I dont know you. But I need to know you are out there.
This song hits different when you’re very far away from your home and no place feels like home, nobody is yours, you’re your own, alone and sad.

this song's been playing in my head on repeat lately. it's getting awfully hard to keep my head up. on the bright side, I know life can bring better days. I just don't feel so good. that's all.

"Radiohead song that sounds like a lullaby" nailed the search
It is a lullaby. I always played it when I'm going to sleep :D
It's a song based on "What a wonderful world" and "Sunday Morning" (I think)
I searched it and it actually brought it up haha
It is a lullaby, just for people that are going to sleep, forever.

There's something about simple melodies that just feel like distilled melancholy. This and Space Song are some really good examples.

I think everyone knows this, but I think it'll be a nice reminder:
The No Surprises video was made by speeding up the song in a fast pace while Thom is actually in there, holding his breath until the very short 3rd verse happens. As you can tell, Thom fucking hated it, taking many attempts to do it, swearing his brains out when he fails. There's a reason why he was smiling at the end. You can see it in the Radiohead documentary, 'Meeting People Is Easy.'
THANK YOU. They do an excellent job editing the video to not make the 'speeding up' obvious while Thom is holding his breath.
it wasn't speeded up just did it in real time what you see is what you get .
@@hamishbenn5718 false. it is definitely sped up, as you can see in the documentary
Bruh I was holding my breath alongside the video when I read this, almost passed out
Yo nice pfp :o
Also Thom has a good fucking breath
When the pain come back again and you have the impression that it will never leave which means there is not light at the end but only pain and tears.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Not sure if this is what the song was written about, but it perfectly encapsulates all the feelings that come right before considering suicide. You don't feel sad or hateful or anything, you just want to go home or go to sleep, when you're already home, or already asleep. It's the feeling of not wanting to wake up. Hope everyone gets through it.
It's the feeling when you just want nothing anymore. Nothings exciting and nothings special no more. All you want and feel is now nothing. It's not the feeling of ending your life, it's the feeling of wanting to be nothing anymore. When you've just had enough
I'd heard the song before so i was interested what people in the comments thought it meant, upon reading this i started crying as i recognised this was exactly where i'd been too, i'm very happy with my trajectory now and how much i'm learning about how the mind works, and its helped me to reshape my life
this is exactly what i was thinking. i hope you’re okay
The song is about wanting peace from all of the depression and anxiety and shits that happen as the main character watch it all unfold like the Airbag that save his life
I am going through the same shit. I j can't express it by words. You expressed it very well. Thank you
It's 3:07am (Japan Standard Time), my chest is aching, my nose is blocked, im alone at home and listening to this masterpiece for a relief after all these tiring weeks. I'm not depressed, all I need is no alarms and no surprises.
Edit: I made it out alive, thanks y'all.

Same here man but a child bc I get no sleep as well now I'm on a break for everything thank God for the amazing life and everything he has done to make us safe
This song, in my opinion, sounds like a feeling of emptiness after losing someone / something, missing something
im always missing something even if there was nothing
I agree like don’t wake me up I don’t want to sit through this pain
That's precisely it: the feeling of emptiness after losing something, but that something is yourself. It's the ennui of forcing yourself into a role that everyone tells you you should fit but you don't.
can you help me
this song makes no sense beacause how is he singing under he water
This song reminded me of something.....and now...I want every stranger to know that please spend time with your loved ones. Do what makes you happy, without worrying about the world. Be with those who love you and those you love, because life is just for a few days!!!After we're gone, no one will even remember us, only a few people will be affected by our absence. So please, shower your loved ones with love. If there's any resentment, forgive and rebuild relationships....Because if you think about it, you'll realize that tomorrow is uncertain. Who knows, everything might end tomorrow. You might not even get the time to do or say anything....So enjoy every moment, enjoy life!!!

Hi I recommend a song called 'Life Changes ' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530 I'll give it a listen, thanks
The song captures the essence of that betrayal and the ensuing emotional turmoil. It speaks to the transformation of a cherished relationship into a bittersweet memory, a reminder of what once was and what could have been. The lyrics resonate deeply, reflecting the sorrow and acceptance that come with recognizing that someone you held dear is now just a poignant chapter in your life story.
Every time I listen to this song, it brings back a flood of memories and emotions. It's a mix of nostalgia for the good times and the sting of realizing that those moments are gone forever. The pain of losing someone you thought would always be there, only to find out they were meant to teach you a lesson, is something that this song perfectly encapsulates.
It's a reminder that life is unpredictable and sometimes those closest to us can cause the deepest wounds. The healing process is tough, but songs like this one help us process and understand our feelings, giving us a sense of solidarity in knowing we're not alone in our struggles.
The experience has made me more cautious and reflective, yet it's also a testament to personal growth. It’s about finding strength in adversity and learning to navigate the complexities of human relationships. This song, with its raw and honest lyrics, serves as both a comfort and a cathartic outlet for all those emotions.
even though this is likely chatgpt i kind of agree lmao
It isn't I just write like chatgpt😭

The entire band I realized sitting there before I met Thom, afraid I’d be found and kicked out, were just a bunch of regular guys, so polite as I listened to their conversations. This was backstage at their tour for Kid A / Amnesiac. One of the best nights of my life.

the only upside to being depressed or feeling lonely is that Radiohead sounds way more sweeter.
ua-cam.com/video/CixcfHj4LRk/v-deo.html
there's no upside on being depressed
There isn't an upside to being depressed, and I certainly wouldn't be listening to Radiohead if I wanted to cheer myself up.
I know what you're saying, but for the most part I disagree. Radiohead's passion shines through everything they do, so in this way they make me feel alive with their music (regardless of whether this comes as amplification of negative or positive feelings. both are just a part of being alive)
tbh this is MAKING me depressed
When you’re listening to Radiohead, it’s not that it makes you feel sad or depressed. It’s that it confronts you to the harsh reality.
Only this one's intro sounds like ruler of everything tune
That was a perfect description for their music!
It is cathartic. So much of their music for me takes the edge off of my anger or depression. It's comforting.
This is the first song that truly made me cry after losing my cousin 6 months ago. And I keep revisiting this song because it makes me think of her and I feel that she’s still alive, even for just a moment.

OK Computer is one of the finest albums from the '90s and, perhaps, of all time. I was 15 when this album came out and I bought it on my 16th birthday. I remember hearing the tracks playing on the radio clear as day, when radio still had real power and influence. I'd never heard a sound like this before and the whole album was a total masterpiece from beginning to end. 25 years later if I ever want to go back to those fun memories of the '90s and my teenage years, I can always play this album. Thanks, Radiohead!
Cant argue with that. It is one of the top from the 90's along with Siamese Dream, Weezer's Blue album, and Badmotorfinger.
I am 15 now and Radiohead is my favorite artist. I wish I was a kid in the 90s though, best music era

Hi I recommend an indierock song called 'life changes' by Robert Nix
How can a song have such light hearted melody yet be so sad and lonely.
With no alarms, and no surprises.
Its called juxtaposition.
I cant imagine a light hearted tune to this. Beautifully miserable. Nothing less, no surprises
like animal farm is a children's story
When I was in Japan years ago, I sang this one of the times I went out to Karaoke with my (non-English speaking) Japanese friends. After it was over, they were all like, "What a beautiful song!" I didn't have the heart to tell them what the lyrics meant.
This goes to everyone that listen to this song and think he/she’s not enough. You are and your doing a great job
Thanks man
ThAnks mate..I've been really thinking it deep for long.. still thinking Im not worthy to anybody

I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And 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 (get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises, please (get me out of here)
tysm
Thanks ;)

Truer even now :,(
"No surprises" Hits hard like fr 😭
The best bit is the genuine smile at 3:06.
It fits the moment in the track perfectly but in fact it was after a load of failed takes where he couldn't hold his breath for long enough under pressure. The relief is genuine because he knows he wont have a director repeatedly half drowning him any more 🙂
This album got me through the deepest, darkest winter of my life during the winter of 1997-98. In high school, depressed as hell, it was like these guys were speaking directly to me. I felt every inch of OK Computer
that’s amazing! i cant imagine being that age when this record came out. i can only imagine how it felt. i’m glad you’re still here
Power of Music. Are you okay now?
Right there with you ... And still, here we all are.
No surprises my ASS 😂
If you can heal so can I :)
@@unimportant4772 not all of us
This song reminds me of my mom that died in 9/11 attacks. She was in the south tower where United Airlines 175 hit. I really miss her
Judging off your profile picture i think you didn't even exist at that time
@ bro what
@@Fun_bot557 my balls hair is probably older than you
@@Fun_bot557 you're probably still in your dads ballsack at the time
🖤LYRICS
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

For those wondering, Thom held his breath for 56 seconds
Aaron Hyde I was wondering!
It's low camera
If you watch the behind the scenes footage it’s actually slowed down so he only holds his breath IRL for about ten seconds
You can clearly tell the footage is slowed. Probably held it for about 25 seconds.
Congratulations, you lost your 56 seconds in your life
I love the very genuine look of triumph on his face after the helmet empties. Knowing it took many, many hours of frustration and near-death experiences to get this video right, getting the finishing take was the most genuine triumph he could've had.
near-death experience?
@@Channel-vo6mq Yeah, the music was sped up when he was submerged, it's all there in "Meeting People is Easy".
Thom York analysis
Lol it's only holding ones breath for a minute.. ^^ pretty sure this was in a controlled environment also
@@Enemyoftheparasite Of course they could just film it in a much shorter time and just slow it down afterwards.
😢 beautiful song
This song feels like accepting everything, while being in tears.
For me the song is similar to that, sounds like people who hate their lives but are too scared/numb to do anything about it so they just end up living a boring life they hate eg. “A job that slowly kills you”, “handshake with carbon monoxide”, “get me out of here” and it’s sad because I see people around me turning into these people who they obviously don’t want to be
@@beebtw504the song is truly a masterpiece
I love how the water drains just as he sings about the “pretty house and pretty garden” almost as if he finally found what he was looking for and he’s no longer drowning. I’m sure there a million ways to interpret this masterpiece of a music video.
I don't know about that. I always interpreted it as "look, such a pretty house and pretty garden and they are so useless, so superficial, I fought for them and now look at me, I'm killing myself nonetheless. It was a pointless pursuit".
There are really a lot of ways to interpret this, I agree.
@@francescopassero8369 the last quote in my opinion represents the "common first world dream". A pretty house, with a big garden, a wife and an happy family. With a normal job. No aspirations, no dreams, only peacefulness. No alarms, no surprises, nothing that could disturb your quiet, boring life
you have the same name as me
same last name too
No band brings me to tears like radiohead.
+fenkinfe - I find Bon Iver or Elliott Smith better at bringing me to tears, but nobody brings me to existential crisis like Radiohead.
+fenkinfe - coldplay also brings me to tears
im sorry. im just expressing that both band makes me cry.
ngengo mentioning Coldplay in a Radiohead video is always a mistake. Radiohead fans always make it clear that they don't like Coldplay.
Bender Alley I completely understand your frustration.
I hope whoever is reading this. Please continue living. Thank you.
feel like i’m the only radiohead fan who’s not depressed and just finds their music relaxing
Well now you know you're not the only one.
You’re not alone
Same
I used to listen these kind of songs in the gym. Not depressed at all, in fact the nice sensation of solitude helps me to see introspectively
Same here. The songs are calming and hold a feeling of familiarity. Same goes for songs by the smiths
An interesting fact: Thom Yorke is afraid of water since childhood (he almost drowned in the river), but here we see him holding his breath, isn't he a unique person?)
i think behind the scenes they decided to speed up the song for the water part so then thom yorke wouldnt drown
@@menapinglmao I think so too, I hardly did without it
русского по скобке сразу видно
You can see his lips move in slow motion. Meaning it was recorded at a higher speed.
Well in this video he even wasn't under water, it was trick
Most comments are missing the detail of this song. It feels suffocated, desperate, and worn down. When you just can't take it anymore. The major "happy" key makes it feel dark and twisted. It isn't just 'nice' or 'sad'. It sounds calm and pretty, as a disguise. Like how we cover up our desperation with a smile. That makes this song so impactful.
O think this is the only comment that shouldn't make sense, make sense
It's referring to escaping the ideal life the guy who the song focuses on has a beautiful wife a nice house and a good job but feels like he's drowning, the water draining represents him getting free from the ideal life finally
@@griffin1021 lmfao its a british band. fuck of with that American dream bs
The song and album. Though are about modern life
yessssss
It's no surprise that this song is genuinely great
this song feels like so many things. its when you're finished sobbing and you're sitting numbly. its your parent giving you a hug telling you to breathe. its having your friends seeing you cry for the first time. its trying self harm for the first time to see what it feels like. its just so much all at once.
Yes
This song came on today and remembered your comment and just wanted to come back on here and say that’s exactly what this song feels like for me
the feeling of laying peacefully and exhausted in your bed in the middle of the night after crying the whole evening is what this song always felt like to me. Feeling the softness of your pillow, feeling the cold air from your window after feeling like the world will end. There is a peace one feels after crying out their worries, even if they're not gone.
Best song ✨
''5 minutes into Radiohead and Chill and he gives you this look''

No... Just no
+Gigers27 I think you need to leave.
Get back on the Lad Bible page! 😖
+Gigers27 funny man
lmao
As a non native English speaker i never care to understand the lyrics but whenever it’s on display i cry. Love this song
Basically just says that the life we’re sold isn’t worth it. “A job that slowly kills you, bruises that won’t heal”
“I’ll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide”
Basically a quiet slow life is better than killing yourself for money
This song is so poignant to me. Being mentally ill is exhausting. It sucks being stuck in this constant cycle of just trying to get through. My interpretation of this song is its the peacefulness of giving up. Of being at rest finally.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
You’re not alone. I’m in the same place :( We’re human. Try and remember you’re just a few thoughts and/or perspectives away from joy ❤
Millie is correct! Some days are tougher than others. But we learn how to fight through the tough days and make the next one better than the one before. Life sucks sometimes but there are still a lot of things to be thankful for. I just started volunteering at a dog rescue recently and it has helped. Find something you love and go for it. Everything will be alright.
it kind of reminds me of being on the outside just constantly in bed and tired and its kind of okay because im not some starving person in another country and everyone else is just living their lives and being happy but i cant be for some reason and that just makes it all feel worse. i know this song is just about giving up and accepting and trying to live the "white picket fence" life and just swallowing all the pills.. the music itself is so interesting though. "have a nice life" is pretty depressing music but makes me feel better sometimes too. its nice knowing that at least one other person kind of feels the same way sometimes at least, so you dont always feel like a complete alien.
Find it in yourself and fight against the pain. meditate on what makes you mentally ill and slowly untangle the threads that tangle your mind. Break your cycle by doing things you don't usually do like if you have a creative mind then draw what you picture in your mind, create your own characters and write stories.
I always have a problem calming down. Breathing techniques dont work, it doesnt help if someone talks me through it or anything. it sucks. But this song has always calmed me down without fail. I love it. thank you.
