Can you imagine sitting down with a few friends, grabbing a guitar, strumming an A chord and having that moment lead into the creation of a song as amazing as this? Seriously, how do they not pat themselves on the back. AMAZING song (and album) and amazing performance.
From my own experience of song writing, not saying I'm as good as these guys lol but generally I think most artists struggle to actually see how good they are because they're typically perfectionists and so whatever they make isn't good enough, it can always be improved and there will always be things they're not happy with. To everyone else it sounds amazing but when you know every single aspect note to note you can spot the imperfections quite easily. It's like athletes or racing drivers, if you tell them their lap was perfect, they will almost always disagree and say there was areas that could have been improved. It's all relative to how skilled you are basically. In my experience I only ever see how good my stuff is years later when I've forgot all about it and I come back to it almost as a listener and not a creator. It's only then I can enjoy it and appreciate it for what it is. But at the time, because I'm such a perfectionist, I would actually go on to hate my music because I would never be able to achieve this perfectionist idea that I had in my head. It's really an endless pursuit and most artists are like this to one degree or another. Chances are, they might have kinda known it was a good song, they obviously felt something from it, but they wouldn't have had any concept of how good. It's rare artists know how good they are in reality.
@@justamanchimp Well, we've had a lifetime of being told we're not good enough. If people were more accepting of above average intellects and creative quirkiness, the musicians among us would not beat themselves up so much and drink themselves to death.
@@into.the.wood.chipper. Maybe, it doesn't come from that place myself, it's more an inner desire to out do myself, I'm essentially in competition with myself, my expectations and standards are very high because of bands like Radiohad for example
Michael South Radiohead is awesome, you know what else is awsome, the Beatles, Tom petty, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, nirvana, Kim normal, Neil ducking young. That’s what these Radiohead fans fail to notice
@@kevinphysioc3983 You are talking nonsense. Radiohead did not steal Where Is My Mind to write Karma Police. The two songs are very different. Different melody, different chords, different instrumentation. Maybe RH used the rhythm and groove as inspiration, but come on... this is literally how musicians write new songs. I’m no music noob. I’ve listened to countless artists and still I find Radiohead to be so good at what they do, they deserve a place among the greats. In my opinion very few bands or artists have shown the same level of creativity, consistency and innovation that they have. Their fanbase is like a cult because there really is no other group like them. Dosen’t mean others aren’t great too (because they are), but RH speaks to people in a way that is different from all the rest. That’s how good they are.
it would make sense to complain about people brushing Radiohead off as a "one-hit wonder" somewhere around early '00s, but not today. it's 2020s my guy, literally everyone accepted them as one of the greatest bands of all times.
Tengo 57 años yo soy de otra época. De otro estilo de música ..pero Radio head.lo conocí y de allí me encantaron .todos sus temas son maravillosos .Dense el tiempo para conocer toda su música ....es Grandiosa
I remember being in the first year of High School. A classmate was severely depressed, and even tried to commit suicide. Thankfully, his father found him and saved him. After some time, when he came back to school, he told us that the only solace he found was in Radiohead music, a sense of shared hopelesness. Specially this song.
mate I have chills just reading this, music is beyond powerful. Radiohead is my comfort band and this is my song it just flows through me everytime i listen to it. Speaks so much about my past in 3 minutes.
This damn topic is sad, it's real, it's true, it's a reflection of our damn consumer society. It makes me cry, laugh, confuses me. Damn Thom Yorke, who made you so perfect in your poetry, and your philosophy, you will pay me to make me human. Radiohead forever in my head.
I just got into Radiohead’s music like a week or so ago and man, do I love it. I’ve only listened to their first two albums and this is my favorite track from them. I’ve been constantly singing this song over and over for the last two days and it just goes to show how great this band is. The passion, emotion and meaning of this song is amazing. And that high note on every third bar in the verses is just chef’s kiss.
I remember my freshman year in highschool when I first heard creep on MTV 😂😂😂 I was hooked. The video was cool but the song was even better of course. My voice coach has me singing this also and that high note is hard to hit and play the guitar at the same time. Just like you I've been singing and singing it every day and I don't get tired of it. Great great song.
My favourite track is Karma police. "Buzzes like a fridge. He's like a detuned radio" And the fade out, at the end of karma police, is absolutely brilliant
Listen to Kid A Amnesia all the way though… it literally changed my entire life. I can’t explain how thankful I am for these dudes. But in rainbows is actually the best album of all time (tied with rubber soul- let it be by the Beatles and meddle- the wall by Pink Floyd)
So incredible watch this and realize it was recorded and filmed before "OK Computer", "Kid A" or "In Rainbows". These guys have always been so incredible. "The Bends" was such an incredible album in its own way and really foreshadowed what was to come.
OK Computer, Kid A / Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief are masterpieces, but The Bends is the greatest album they ever did if you were there at the time. And Fake Plastic Trees is the greatest song of all time, in my humble opinion. It's Pablo Honey that foreshadowed what was to come; to ascribe that role to the Bends does it an appalling diservice :)
Agreed. From start to finish, The Bends was just such a fantastic album. Thank you BMG or Columbia House for this treat for a young teenager who really only knew Creep and Just before this album made it's way in the mail. Almost 30 years later and still one of the best albums@@seanwilson1977
If it weren't for this song and album in 95 i seriously wouldn't be here. It got me through the darkest time in my life and covered me like a warm blanket.
To me, this song trancent language exactly like classical music. I don't understand what the meaning and I still don't wish too. Yet, I able to feel it emotion. deeply inside my heart. Truly magical.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Radiohead. It's different but similar in ways. I can hear a bit of a Beatles influence in the both bands which is great cause I love them too ❤
For anyone that's let life and age log a lotta miles on their soul you get the song a lot more especially if you had such a keen sense of things when you were younger that became more dull as the years passed by. It's about the mundane routine of illusion because that's all there really is, just illusion. I loved this song back when it first came out and I discovered Radiohead. It really nails it now that I'm much, much older. It's truly amazing how well Thom and the lads captured this at their wee age back then. It's nothing short than musical genius.
The ease in his voice is soothing. And that ascending "wears" is so beautiful i love that part and it all sounds like the studio version. Much respect and love for the band
i will never forget years ago, the dark november sky walking through the park coming off my school bus. alone, didn’t really speak to a soul properly for months whilst listening to the album ‘the bends’. the coldness tackling my thick coat with some sense of sad comfiness in my ears. a weird sense of blissfulness whilst feeling ever so isolated. thank you.

Always liked radiohead but since taking up the acoustic guitar I've come to respect there music so much more and this track has gotta be one of there best ever.. I so love playing it too!
Easily missed at 3:45 Thom plays an A maj7 chord for only four beats and it is the only time the chord is used in the whole song. To me it signifies acceptance and is critical to the story. What a genius.
iv looked at countless covers, and there's just no one who even comes close to this effortless yet poignant performance. Top class, mate, top fucking class!!
I broke down when I first heard this after realizing how perfectly it lyrically depicted the relationship that made and broke me, over and over again, until I was a new and improved me. But not before overcoming this fear of whether I'd ever be worthy of love again or not.
every few months I think of this song...and THIS version....and look it up on YOU TUBE...Just finished playing it at work about 4 times. Awesome performance!
WOW SO LOVING THIS VERSION! gracious ME LOL THOM I HOPE YOU ARE BLESSED W/ HAPPINESS... It seems nowadays. The best singers have such sad souls and make such beautiful ❤💚💜 🎶 music. Almost seems like your soul must be hurting like .... may.... Be... in a way of the world as if were waiting on the world to change. Or maybe we are L❤VED. OR WE'VE FELT LOVE OR WE ARE LOVED regardless it seems in my personal assumption That the heart❤ has to go through some type of pain and become heavy...(which is a part of life 4 most. I mean if ur human😌)so an aching 💙 that yearns for something more something you may not even know what it is. Once we go through this. THIS 🎶 seems 2 have a certain touch personally on our souls. I'm not just talking about this song, but bc of my boyfriend whom I'm non longer with. I don't want to call him an Ex he's more than that.😔 I never gave Thom Yorke/ Radio head a chance bc of my 💓 he'd told me his 1st love liked them. So I completely pretty much shut them out in my head besides the songs that I knew.. (that were popular.) Now that I've given them a chance only since breaking up & recently him making a playlist for me which i believe is public ''for being such a crappy friend'' look it up on here RUclips under "Sycamore shade" do i now GET IT. I FEEL IT. I HAVE A HEAVY ❤ HE KNEW THIS. if there's anything Sycamore shade is good at which there is a lot but making a playlist is definitely at the top of the list. Along with a lot more but movies and music yes I definitely trust his judgement should have all along... But as conor oburst once saying " you will" I hope we get that chance to boomerang back 2 one another but rn the timing is just not right. We both have healing to do. Oh btw yess three talking at the end stopped the Tears and i got a good laugh. Thanks AK
This accidentally became the song of someone I’ve been in love with all of my life. We kissed to this song in his car that one time during quarantine of 2020 - it feels like it’s a memory that never happened sometimes.
@@TheIceyeddy he had someone he had a fling with at the time but we were friends since we were kids. We were neighbors, went to same schools, college. The day we kissed it was unexpected for both of us. We seemed to be going towards pursuing something but then he found out he got her pregnant shortly after. Communication declined, his life became work and coparenting; we haven’t seen each other since August 2020. He is a good man, I just think it was right person wrong time.
"It wears me out" used to ring deep in my bones in my early 20's. That is a magical time for most people, but no one escapes it's complexity, and struggles.
So true. I recommend you "So Young" and "One Day" by RED CAN. They are on Spotify but their videos are pretty cool though. Lyrics and music are amazing. Found them a few weeks ago and wanna see them grow
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Radiohead. It's different but similar in ways. I can hear a bit of a Beatles influence in the both bands which is great cause I love them too ❤
Was lucky enough to have seen them live back in 95 just after they released the bends played every song from the album and a few from Pablo honey fucking amazing
One of my fav' Radiohead's song... It's been years I haven't heard it... I came after seen a ramdom proposition of 1st Radiohead's Creep @ConanOBrien show. Thank you sooo much for uploading this gem, reminding me so many deep feelings & memories!!
True. Thom left the concert unfinished and that night wrote fake plastic trees... For this reason Jeff Buckley lived thinking that Thom Yorke hated his music and performance. By the way, Thom Yorke had covered Tim Buckley´s song for Jeff "SIng a song for you" ruclips.net/video/0JfY-40k68Y/видео.html In the next albums Thom forced his falsetto to new places.
@@kmtungstall759 false. They had already written fake plastic trees and tried recording it couple of times but it did not feel right to Thom. The night that they saw Jeff is when Thom discovered how he wanted to sound for this song and what he learnt became integral part of his vocal technique. Thom essentially discovered an aspect of his singing through Buckley that night.
If, even after this battle, they tell me I can live on, I'll go and buy a small mirror somewhere and practice smiling. I'll practice over and over so that I can see him once again.
everytime i listen its amazing the memories of when i first heard the song and now what it means, the true meaning of an artist outside of society, government, and social strains, the strength that takes. Th realization of the self , joseph Cambell and Yung , the contribution is immeasurable
Brad Query So are many popular contemporary musicians, I don't see your point. Just because someone isn't showing all their skill doesn't mean they don't have that skill at all.
One of the many beauties of this song is that it sounds like 6 songs compiled in 1. Thom Yorkes voice, energy and delivery is phenomenal. Regardless of what the true meaning of the lyrics actually mean if at anything at all, “she looks like the real thing”… I think we can all relate. Wether it’s she or he.
This song and this band takes me directly to the year 2003, it brings me back to the love I lived in a few months. And to this day I haven't recovered. I wanted to go back in time and kiss that man again. God only knows how much. Kimoti.
![Radiohead- "Just" & "Anyone Can Play Guitar" Live in Studio 1995 [Reelin' In The Years Archives]](/img/1.gif)

Makes me tear up.

I mean if ur human😌)so an aching 💙 that yearns for something more something you may not even know what it is. Once we go through this. THIS 🎶 seems 2 have a certain touch personally on our souls. I'm not just talking about this song, but bc of my boyfriend whom I'm non longer with. I don't want to call him an Ex he's more than that.😔 I never gave Thom Yorke/ Radio head a chance bc of my 💓 he'd told me his 1st love liked them. So I completely pretty much shut them out in my head besides the songs that I knew..
(that were popular.) Now that I've given them a chance only since breaking up & recently him making a playlist for me which i believe is public ''for being such a crappy friend'' look it up on here RUclips under "Sycamore shade" do i now GET IT. I FEEL IT. I HAVE A HEAVY ❤ HE KNEW THIS. if there's anything Sycamore shade is good at which there is a lot but making a playlist is definitely at the top of the list. Along with a lot more but movies and music yes I definitely trust his judgement should have all along... But as conor oburst once saying " you will" I hope we get that chance to boomerang back 2 one another but rn the timing is just not right. We both have healing to do. Oh btw yess three talking at the end stopped the Tears and i got a good laugh. Thanks AK
Amazing version definitely one of my 100 favorite radiohead songs. Yes, Colin Greenwood looks high AF !!!
He looks ill. I’m not sure he blinks at all on camera.
Highs cool takes you to some fucked up places 👊
coming back again, this is still my favorite version of this classic
11:13, in here again
They're so great!!! Super underrated. They Play this so clean, just like the album.
This is the S#*t!! You either have it or you don't. These guys have it, and this version is awesome! Love it!
This song has been one of the most beautiful songs in my entire life.. I’m sitting here playing along to the video on my guitar.
Colin halfway through a song: "I forgot I was even playing"
This accidentally became the song of someone I’ve been in love with all of my life. We kissed to this song in his car that one time during quarantine of 2020 - it feels like it’s a memory that never happened sometimes.
Are you still together? Hope it worked out!
@@TheIceyeddy he had someone he had a fling with at the time but we were friends since we were kids. We were neighbors, went to same schools, college. The day we kissed it was unexpected for both of us. We seemed to be going towards pursuing something but then he found out he got her pregnant shortly after. Communication declined, his life became work and coparenting; we haven’t seen each other since August 2020. He is a good man, I just think it was right person wrong time.
If depression was visible, this is it
Yes but if its real you have it
and you shouldnt
@@vincentbrannelly8786 how?
"It wears me out" used to ring deep in my bones in my early 20's. That is a magical time for most people, but no one escapes it's complexity, and struggles.
This song is like having a cuddle after falling down. Awesome 😎
I could listen to this day & night...Great song great band!!!
hi are you there
One of the few songs that will still be listened to a hundred years from now...because there's no way humanity will be in a utopia.
So true. I recommend you "So Young" and "One Day" by RED CAN. They are on Spotify but their videos are pretty cool though. Lyrics and music are amazing. Found them a few weeks ago and wanna see them grow
My fake plastic love...
I dont know why but this song makes me sad automatically. Love you Thom
Cryzel Jane Bobiles quit being sad
Life is too long
My favourite lyric of the song was at the end when Thom says "Fucking nah I hate this guitar."
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Radiohead. It's different but similar in ways. I can hear a bit of a Beatles influence in the both bands which is great cause I love them too ❤
Was lucky enough to have seen them live back in 95 just after they released the bends played every song from the album and a few from Pablo honey fucking amazing
I am 20 years old now, and i am so lucky to know this song since 2016 Class radiohead
How could ive missed these songs,it hurts the most
One of my fav' Radiohead's song... It's been years I haven't heard it...
I came after seen a ramdom proposition of 1st Radiohead's Creep @ConanOBrien show.
Thank you sooo much for uploading this gem, reminding me so many deep feelings & memories!!
July 2019 and I still love this song . Great voice Thom👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️. Never get old.
When I'm down I love listening to this song . Love it
I recommend you "So Young" and "One Day" by RED CAN. They are on Spotify ;)
"When I'm down"....feels like i have always been down...was born to lose, so i learned to lose rather than live in quiet desperation
I listen to this and I think to myself this is perfect music for imperfect people, as I am.
I believe that Thom found inspiration for the falsetto vocal after the band went to see Jeff Buckley live one evening,
Makes sense, Buckley’s falsetto and ability to hold a perfect note forever is legendary. Also I’m a year late, if you’re still alive. Lol
True. Thom left the concert unfinished and that night wrote fake plastic trees... For this reason Jeff Buckley lived thinking that Thom Yorke hated his music and performance. By the way, Thom Yorke had covered Tim Buckley´s song for Jeff "SIng a song for you" ruclips.net/video/0JfY-40k68Y/видео.html In the next albums Thom forced his falsetto to new places.
All true
@@kmtungstall759 false. They had already written fake plastic trees and tried recording it couple of times but it did not feel right to Thom. The night that they saw Jeff is when Thom discovered how he wanted to sound for this song and what he learnt became integral part of his vocal technique. Thom essentially discovered an aspect of his singing through Buckley that night.
Pretty sure it's the other way round
0:25 when you pretend to sleep then check out if someone is watching you
1:57
For a minute there, he lost himself
XD
wow ! tremenda calidad de sonido... muy buen archivo todos los canales esran bien definidos.. fue como estar en el estudio
Years go by and I keep coming back to see this video. Just love it!
Emotional improvisation AND flawless vocal precision.
A expressão facial do Thom é tão profunda, que é inconcebível não sentir aquele aperto no peito...
"No offense ed" -"Naah it's.......fucked up...."
one of the greatest song ever! Pure talent! pure sound! pure voice!
the look on the bassist's face ._.
Anton Miguel Neri lol if you watch the other live sets you'll see he's chiefing a J lol
Colin’s face never changes
@@Xxjoseph1029xX cheifing a J?
looks more like smack
He's on drugs
I love the ending bits of these studio sessions where they just talk to each other
If, even after this battle, they tell me I can live on, I'll go and buy a small mirror somewhere and practice smiling. I'll practice over and over so that I can see him once again.
Beautiful, haunting, melodic.
We need music during this friggin pandemic! Long live radiohead.........
here here paddy
Amazing one of my favorites . So much emotion . Beautiful from the heart
Feels like a warm bed I like that.
everytime i listen its amazing the memories of when i first heard the song and now what it means, the true meaning of an artist outside of society, government, and social strains, the strength that takes. Th realization of the self , joseph Cambell and Yung , the contribution is immeasurable
no need for autotune. computers.. etc.. this is real music played by true musicians.. hauntingly beautiful..
Radioheads 4th record Kid A featured music made on a laptops and synthesizers.
I know that... Their experimental album . but as u well know . the entire group are well accomplished musicians
Brad Query So are many popular contemporary musicians, I don't see your point. Just because someone isn't showing all their skill doesn't mean they don't have that skill at all.
We only need ok computers, I know this is from the bends but still ._.
Kid A is incredible and definitely by favourite album from them.
First time I heard this song was on entourage when Vince and Ari had a moment in a hangar bay. Great song!
One of the many beauties of this song is that it sounds like 6 songs compiled in 1. Thom Yorkes voice, energy and delivery is phenomenal. Regardless of what the true meaning of the lyrics actually mean if at anything at all, “she looks like the real thing”… I think we can all relate. Wether it’s she or he.
2022 e continua sendo uma música maravilhosa de escutar, amo tocar ela no violão 🇧🇷
2023 too
This song and this band takes me directly to the year 2003, it brings me back to the love I lived in a few months. And to this day I haven't recovered. I wanted to go back in time and kiss that man again. God only knows how much. Kimoti.
I love catching up on all the great performances I missed back then.
I think this might be a "Reelin' In The Years" video.
What makes you think that? 🤣😂
Yeah probably
You sure?
Really? Doesn't look like one
Bold statement. Can't tell. No solid evidence.
The ending XD
Oh Thom
The Bends has been my lullaby album since I was 15. Thank you Radiohead.
"If I could be who you wanted, all the time" frase que nos rompe
It might be weird, but i can't sleep without this video playing in the background
don't even know how many times I've watched this..
Probably the best there has ever been so far these guys mastered the art of music .
