I'm not sure about the greatest or the most talented (there are LOTS of amazing musicians!), but he is my favorite and top 1, I love everything he does: Radiohead, AFP, The Smile, his solo works
I don't know who Dan is, but if he made a video that caused people to seek out Thom Yorke then I support him. I don't know why so many Radiohead/ Thom York fans are being dicks about this. So what if Dan fans came because of him? Why the fuck does it bother you? More Thom Yorke fans = good.
+Marleni Resendiz it really annoys me that people are fussing over who sent who here. Why does it even matter? I'm here just trying to listen to a song. Geshhh
He is a freemason so he is using Jewish mysticism, or black magic, which is in the kabalah at the heart of freemasonry. So, magic, yes. He exchanges a masonic handshake with Ross every time he appears on the show.
Factoid: Thom thinks his piano playing skills are crap, but while some of his playing is rather 'simplistic', he is able to bang out some stunning and timeless melodies. That's right, you don't need to be Beethoven to write a good song.
Came here after the YouNow today... Music is meant to be enjoyed, no matter what individual or what circumstance brought you to the piece. Appreciating a beautiful masterpiece is not a crime.
this comment needs a lot more appreciation. really sad that even though some of these comments are years old, they're still awfully negative and at the top of the comments despite that.
first time i heard this song, i cried my eyes out for no reason at all, and said to myself 'fuck, i need to learn to play the piano to play this song' and i did. this song to me is so deep, so transcendent, so meaningful. thom yorke is a fucking genius.
I know that most people who watch this are mesmerized by Thom's voice and playing (and they should be), but props must be given to the cameramen, sound engineers, lighting people, the producers of the Jonathan Ross Show, and whoever else helped contribute to this beautiful piece.
Good call. Ive never looked at anything but Thom and the piano. Ross and the production crew contributed heavily to one of my very favorite pieces of music ever
This version is absolutely brilliant. For me much better than the album version - you really hear the lyrics more. And for all those saying he has an average voice, are you serious? His voice is fucking sublime.
It's like night and day. This acoustic piano version has so much emotion and subtlety. The 'experimental' electronic version on the album is just a cluster-F of chaotic noise.
Holy shit. I love how all Dan's fans are like "don't hate us". I can bet both my hands that right after Dan played it, the comments here were filled with "Am I the only one from Dan????", "Dan brought me here!". Understand, people aren't mad because you are from Dan, they are mad beacuse you're making pointless spam that no one cares about.
You know like the back of your hand who let em in You got me into this mess so you get me out. You know like the back of your hand Your bell jar. Your collection. Ingenue. You get me into this mess. Fools rushing in, yeah, and they know it. The seeds of the dandelion you know blow away. In good time, i hope, i pray. If i'm not there now physically, i'm always before you come what may. And you know it. Fools rushing in yeah well you know it. who let them in? yeah well you know it gone with a touch of your hand gone with a touch of your hand move through the moment though it betrays transformations jackals and flames if i knew now what i knew then just give me more time i hope and pray i mistake all you say the seeds of the dandelion you blow away
LJ this song was made before she passed away but I think the song talks about their inminent divorce that happened months after the song if I remember correctly
Danyal Elia I'm more of an In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, OK Computer kind of guy. While I do think they're still great, and heads and tails above most bands out there, I'm not a huge fan of their current electronic style present in King of Limbs and AMOK (and The Eraser for the most part too). They can innovate and stuff, but I don't want them to stray too far from the rock element in their songs. With that said, this rendition of "Ingenue" (my favourite track off AMOK) is fokn' amazing.
Couldn't agree more, magijack! +1 It took me a good while to really start liking King of Limbs but...it happened...like I knew it would and I now really love it. I have to admit there are still two or three songs in the first half of the album that I don't "love" but the rest are just very, very good.
Arguments and insults will forever exist on RUclips comments... Oh we'll, meanwhile, I'd like to comment on how great thom yorke covers thom yorke. Brilliant. This song is beautiful and sublime And would be even if it was played on tin cans.
Some people like to like...others like to dislike. One or the other unfortunately... it's a shame because that really is life :(.... but we shall beat them... x
It's easy to assume this song is about a female person in Thom's life, (dandelions instantly make me imagine a child) but what if he's referring to another side of his own personality? What if he's comparing these sides of himself to illustrate just how he ends up in given situations for better or worse? The song itself looks at this 'ingenue' character so fondly, despite its whimsical nature... lovingly, and admiring the beauty of it. The music video for it shows this purposefully as well-two halves of a whole dancing *almost* in unison, who follows who? The chorus lyrics of this song are, in my opinion, some of the best lyrics Thom has ever written. 'Move through the moment, though it betrays' is so powerful... it's dancing, it's walking through a hallway.. it's smiling at a social event while your mind is elsewhere. I feel like Prince would have loved this song, as he always made the female characters in his songs the more decisive and in control forces. It's such an elegant reflection on life, and his metaphors are so incredibly potent here-placed behind such an original melody and structure, it elevates itself in my mind to genuine greatness. Thom's raw, emotional sincerity only augments the meaning here, through acceptance and being OKAY with it all. To me, this song is about admiring the part of yourself that can give up the past, force you to go forward and leave the rest behind; nothing lasts forever, come what may... we have to keep moving. It's pure poetry.. just my 2¢
Actually, the anthem of the Phandom is now, again, Toxic by Britney Spears. They danced to it IN AN OFFICIAL VIDEO OFFICIALLY OMFG!!!!!! Sorry, my pheels exploded.. Anyway, Thinking Out Loud is still kind of an unoffical Phandom anthem now... Yeah
You know like the back of your hand Who let 'em in?

I don't think it's a bad thing that Dan sent us here. We obviously enjoyed his cover and after all, it does mean more fans of this song and artist. It's not like we're hating or anything jeez calm down
+phoebe greaves It's more the fact that you have to announce your presence, why not just enjoy the music without having to mention that Dan brought you here?
Danyul was playing this song on a piano and I thought it was a good song so I came here to listen to it. Please don't be mad that Phangirls are here, we just wanna listen to the music! He didn't sent us here purposely we chose to come here.
I saw this video as it was broadcast by pure chance but it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard. Complete transformation from the original version.
Man I just keep coming back to this one over and over and over. I've loved Thom (and Radiohead) for years and I honestly feel like this is his best performance of anything ever.
To anyone from the Phandom: You know how Dan has a high-pitched voice when he sings? It's not quite like Thom's but still somewhat similar. i can literally picture him singing this when he can't sleep at midnight and being all peaceful and happy inside. and i cry.
Okay first of all why would I lie about such an insignificant dumb thing? Second of all you can call me a liar but I don't even know who Thom Yorke IS let alone any of his songs. Maybe I commented on the wrong thing, maybe you're just a bitch. Whatever the case may be, it's none of your damn business where I found this song. Worry about your own problems, mkay?
This. This is where my love for music began. 10 years later and I am still listening to this. I’m 20 that’s half my life listening to this beautiful rendition of an absolute masterpiece
I was looking for my comment from 2013 when I first heard this song on the Jonathan Ross show all those 10 years ago but the scroll down is neverending. It was a beauty then, still a beauty today
I've said it many times, Thom Yorke is the greatest solo player of all time meaning just himself, his voice and a piano/guitar. Even above Neil Young in his prime, which is the highest praise
Between him and NY is a close one. I would also give thom the edge overall, but in some of NYs early acoustic performances his guitar tone and sound is incredible. Old laughing lady and the loner are a couple that come to mind.
because other people who didnt may be looking through the comments for some actual discussion over the video or other topic, but theyre all clogged up with 'dan sent me' comments
Stevee Exactly. Belsbak Lolzel To put it simply for the Dan fans, if you were watching one of "Dan's" _(whoever he is)_ videos, and scrolled down to the comments, only to see people saying stuff like: _"Hey, Paul sent me here",_ or _"I'm here because of Paul"_ - Then you too would be like: _"who the fuck is Paul"_ and: _"Why is no-one actually commenting about the video or content"._ i.e. it's a pretty f*cking annoying trend, not to mention disrespectful to the channel/content uploader in question - in that you have nothing really to say about their actual content _(whether positive or negative)_.
as a radiohead fan. I wish I didn't have to scroll through two thousand comments about dan or anything associated with the topic, just to actually get to an intellectual comment about the intricacies of this lovely song. please would love for some to continue this chain on topic about this song. and not why u r here.
yeah honestly Dan's fans just saw his cover and were curious about the song so they searched it up and found this video if it really causes you pain to see people talking about dan in the comments just watch the video itself you don't need to read the comments
Hey, we liked his cover, and wanted to hear the song, if you have a problem with people saying that Dan brought them here, AND THEY ACTUALLY LIKE THE SONG then go fuck a pickle
Thom has given us so much in his lifetime, much more than I think he realizes. Our only curse is knowing there is no measure of gratitude great enough to thank him. All we can do is preserve the beautiful legacy to which he has carved himself.
Dan actually got me here because I liked the song he played and I'm also a pianist and wanted to here the song and I stayed here because this is beautiful and I thank him for sending me here
Wow so much hate in this comment section. So what we came here from Dan? You don't need to insert the fact that "yOu LiKeD tHiS sOnG BeFoRe iT wAs CoOl" This is a great song and a majority of the people saying they came from Dan are also saying it's a great song so basically you like a song we like a song but we just happened to come from one guy. So why is everyone being so rude? Can't we appreciate the music together?
Twenty One Phans Exactly. I just don't understand why people are so triggered about it. I do understand that a lot of people are saying that they came because they heard Dan playing it, and it can get annoying to see so many comments about the same thing(some of them are actually so cringy oh god) but there's no need to be rude. He brought us here because we liked what we heard, and we like the song. It's beautiful. And that's what matters. People honestly should find their chill and respect others a bit more.
shut up nerd people are mad bc yall r flooding the comments with "ooh came here from Dan!!!!" as if that were relevant information...... literally hes said in his liveshow to cut that out its annoying when yr just trying to look in the comments for other's opinions on the song/video and its all the same 'came here from ____' comment
Username 666 We are flooding the comments because we think it's cool how one person gathered thousands of people to one beautiful song and i don't know why you feel the need to be rude because we both like this song and the only difference is that some people came from Dan. If you don't like people saying they came from Dan just don't look at the comments. It's not madatory to read the comments to watch the video. Have a good day.
PrimevalSeriesSixFic dude why the fuck are you being so rude? Did anyone insult you? Did anyone do anything to you? Why are you so fucking triggered? Chill, for God's sake.
One of the best live vocal performances I have ever heard from Thom Yorke. It shows that when he concentrates on singing rather than dancing he is still next level.
I am a massive fan of Dan and Phil, but I'm here because I like the song. People aren't getting mad at you for coming here because of Dan they're getting mad because you feel the need to say why you're here. Most people will not give a shit that you came from Dan, and fair enough 1 or 2 comments saying that they came from Dan is fine but when there's loads of them that's when it's ridiculous. You can come and enjoy the song without telling everyone Dan sent you here because that just makes people hate the phandom and hate Dan for 'sending' you here.
Yeah I'm in the Pham and i can't stand the over obsessive phangirls that relate every thing to Dan and Phil. Like I will watch and the person sneezes and then some phangirl has to be like OMG REMEMBER WHEN DAN SNEEZES ON PHIL HOW(ell) CUTE!! And then the other come by and go IKR IT WAS SO ADORABLE!!! Ugh makes me mad
50% of comments: OMG WE KNEW THIS SONG BEFORE DAN PLAYED IT 30% of comments: I'M HERE BECAUSE OF DAN (me lol) 20%of comments: SO WHAT IF WE'RE HERE FOR DAN WHAT R U GONNA DO ABOUT IT FITE ME U CERAMIC BITCH
Imagine writing this song the day your mother passed away ... The lyrics take on a whole new meaning ... It is a son who "tells" his birth to his mother.
Thom is able to dance around our current barrier in understanding oursleves and our limits of perception. He is delivering the bleeding edge of being able to vocalise the end of our ability to describe the daunting task of admitting to ourselves we know absolutely nothing and to just listen again.
This stripped down version really hits me hard.
Micah Buzan I can relate
isn’t it phenomenal..
This version is in the top 5 songs that make me cry due to its beauty and honesty and boy o boy it does hit me in the feels indeed ...
Yeah it’s easier to look over how pretty the song is in the other version
I haven't found any sheet music that's the same as the studio version to match the synth lead(?). That version hits the hardest for me.
Thom yorke shows us that a crowd can be silent
Thank goodness. Makes this much nicer to listen to.
Or good recording equipment :)
The first time I heard that song I cried
So beautiful
I know; I wish I had been there, don’t you?
The greatest musician of our time. Nothing gets even close to the sophistication he is able to pull in the notes he plays.
I'm not sure about the greatest or the most talented (there are LOTS of amazing musicians!), but he is my favorite and top 1, I love everything he does: Radiohead, AFP, The Smile, his solo works
Probably top 5 for sure.
lol that's not true obviously but he's great in his own right, same as any other musician
@macaroon147 it is true. What a writer. What a voice
I don't know who Dan is, but if he made a video that caused people to seek out Thom Yorke then I support him. I don't know why so many Radiohead/ Thom York fans are being dicks about this. So what if Dan fans came because of him? Why the fuck does it bother you?
More Thom Yorke fans = good.
YOU. I LIKE YOU. THANK YOU.
+Damian Louden I feel like this video needed this comment, thanks
+Damian Louden i hope you know that the phandom loves you now. and yes this guy named dan howell played this in a few videos and it sounds beautifu
+Damian Louden I think the thing that bothers me, is they keep on going on about Dan...
+David James Brown I think the thing that bothers me is that you keep talking about us going on about it
Just here for my weekly listen to this, ten years on
You still listening?
Commented 7 years ago on this. Still regular listening and still considering it one of the greatest live performances ever
7 Years? That's funny because the melody actually sounds like Lukas Graham's song "7 Years" :)
Who conveniently ripped off Thom by sneaky use of time travel. @@itsNexusView
I'm here because I have listened to Radiohead and Thom my entire life
I'm here because.....NO ONE CARESSSSS
+Marleni Resendiz ... about your comment.... lol
Please care about yourself.
+Marleni Resendiz it really annoys me that people are fussing over who sent who here. Why does it even matter? I'm here just trying to listen to a song. Geshhh
+Paradoxical Enigma I care about my self a lot so lol lol lol lol lol lol
Man's an absolute magician. Different level.
Archie Dennis magician?
Sorcerer
Wizard
He is a freemason so he is using Jewish mysticism, or black magic, which is in the kabalah at the heart of freemasonry.
So, magic, yes.
He exchanges a masonic handshake with Ross every time he appears on the show.
@@emmaarsenault1098 Yes.
I want to hear the ENTIRE album on piano. PLEASE.
That would be nice. Or just the Electric Lady studios versions on Vinyl/CD
ThiefOfNavarre tell me more kind avatar of polite RUclips
I am 😀
I just imagined "unless" on piano. That would be weird but i want to see it.
seek out Alex Franklin
Factoid: Thom thinks his piano playing skills are crap, but while some of his playing is rather 'simplistic', he is able to bang out some stunning and timeless melodies. That's right, you don't need to be Beethoven to write a good song.
"I'm just a shit piano player" (actual quote)
...proceeds to write Everything In Its Right Place, Like Spinning Plates etc.
write*
You don't need a lot of skill to play EIIRP and LSP.
Kim Philipp Möllgaard Fair enough, but writing them is impressive.
yeah, but isn't like spinning plates (live) pretty difficult to play and sing at the same time? lol
Thom Yorke is one of the greatest musicians of the century

Thank you Dan for directing me to this beautiful song. I am now going to go and learn to play it.
it's actually not that hard tbh
Yep I've already learnt it :D
I'm trying to learn it too (thanks to dan). It's such a beautiful song!
:OOO please tell me how did you learn it!! you looked a tutorial on youtube??
Yep :) Look up Thom Yorke Ingenue piano tutorial and go on the one by drawboy6x3 (first one i think)
first time i heard this song, i cried my eyes out for no reason at all, and said to myself 'fuck, i need to learn to play the piano to play this song' and i did. this song to me is so deep, so transcendent, so meaningful. thom yorke is a fucking genius.

Absolutley. They gave the song what it deserved. Aren't people amazing!
This is so amazing that 59 people turn their monitor upside down to like it twice.
its the Australian people dude
@@adriaandoelman2577 as an australian people i apologise on behalf of all of us
This version is absolutely brilliant. For me much better than the album version - you really hear the lyrics more. And for all those saying he has an average voice, are you serious? His voice is fucking sublime.
who the fuck says he has an average voice? Some people I know find him a bit whiny but definitely not average
It's like night and day. This acoustic piano version has so much emotion and subtlety. The 'experimental' electronic version on the album is just a cluster-F of chaotic noise.
YES!
His voice and the way it moves me is something I don’t think I’ve felt before and I’m 61. He is so beautiful…a sensitive soul, good good heart 💜
Who on earth said he had an average voice?!
Holy shit. I love how all Dan's fans are like "don't hate us".

Do you think the song is about Rachel Owen, his partner who passed away a year later from cancer? :(
LJ this song was made before she passed away but I think the song talks about their inminent divorce that happened months after the song if I remember correctly
Thank you to Dan for directing me to this masterpiece
Same! I was entranced when he played it on younow :)
Me too! he's so much better than what he gives himself credit for
i thought i was the only one...
Omg yes I missed the actual broadcast but I saw it on danisnotonfirevyou and omg I'm gonna learn it
Omg yes the same. He played it so good in his show and it's a beautiful song x
i found this song by da...
i mean my own music taste and love of thom yorke

No, it was Dan wasn't it
I learned it on piano because DAN inspired me lol

He's also wicked fine
he also has a good heart ❤️
sexiest rat lookin muthafcka ever. and that's because of his talent.. and heart.. and mind.. genius !!!
Haha that's exactly what I think, every time I see Thom with his younger wife. I'm always like damn girl, I feel ya
Love this version better than the original.... it so beautiful

Been crying to this song for 6 years now
I cannot hear this song just once, I must repeat it at least a couple times. It's ridiculously beautiful
Years later and I wouldn’t be listening to this masterpiece if it wasn’t for Dan. Thank you Dan for bringing me here and thank you Thom for this...
• SuperWhøLøck • yeah, i agree. I'm not into Dan and Phil anymore but they brought me some good music to listen to
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
This song and version is just pure perfection.
One of those songs that just makes your eyes water.
I don't think it's a bad thing that Dan sent us here. We obviously enjoyed his cover and after all, it does mean more fans of this song and artist. It's not like we're hating or anything jeez calm down
+phoebe greaves do dan and phil listen to radiohead? i only knew about their obsession with muse. this makes me even happier
+phoebe greaves It's more the fact that you have to announce your presence, why not just enjoy the music without having to mention that Dan brought you here?
exactly
I thought I was the only that was sent from Dan lmao
I thought I was the only one 😂 this is my favorite piece at the moment
Danyul was playing this song on a piano and I thought it was a good song so I came here to listen to it. Please don't be mad that Phangirls are here, we just wanna listen to the music! He didn't sent us here purposely we chose to come here.

100% 🙌
Man I just keep coming back to this one over and over and over. I've loved Thom (and Radiohead) for years and I honestly feel like this is his best performance of anything ever.
He is a living legend
Great. You jinxed it. Now he's gonna die some day. Nice goin'
Another glimpse into what makes his songs so great... behind the intricate facade, the structure/ scaffolding is strong.
To anyone from the Phandom:
You know how Dan has a high-pitched voice when he sings? It's not quite like Thom's but still somewhat similar. i can literally picture him singing this when he can't sleep at midnight and being all peaceful and happy inside. and i cry.
WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME??... I mean... it's just dust in my eye... yup...
And Phil listening to him through the walls
omg why why why. I can't handle that! Or when he plays this for Phil with singing to him...
No one gave you permission to do that to my emotions ;~;
The tears flow
years later, this performance still speaks to my heart, what a gorgeous song
Love you Yorke ❤
Thank you Dan soooo much for bringing me herreee this song is beautiful 😍
yeah!!
Who the hell is Dan?
ExplosiveRocketTurtle Dan Howell from the RUclips channel Danisnotonfire
+Jenna Keith And how exactly did he get you here?...
ExplosiveRocketTurtle he played it on the piano.
Thank you Daniel James Howell for directing me to this beautiful masterpiece.
Lol you fucking liar I saw you reply to someone who was saying they found it by themselves & you said that you were glad you weren't the lnly one.
Okay first of all why would I lie about such an insignificant dumb thing? Second of all you can call me a liar but I don't even know who Thom Yorke IS let alone any of his songs. Maybe I commented on the wrong thing, maybe you're just a bitch. Whatever the case may be, it's none of your damn business where I found this song. Worry about your own problems, mkay?
Emos.. *facepalm*
You have literally brightened my day with such a dumb comment. Thanks for the laugh.
More than welcome.
This. This is where my love for music began. 10 years later and I am still listening to this. I’m 20 that’s half my life listening to this beautiful rendition of an absolute masterpiece
This song plays as I shift from this reality into another dimension.
The way he says “Thanks” at the end.
I was looking for my comment from 2013 when I first heard this song on the Jonathan Ross show all those 10 years ago but the scroll down is neverending. It was a beauty then, still a beauty today
There must be something beautiful in the world when Thom sings.
Thanks Dan for bringing me to this music. I literally love this so much
I've said it many times, Thom Yorke is the greatest solo player of all time meaning just himself, his voice and a piano/guitar. Even above Neil Young in his prime, which is the highest praise
Between him and NY is a close one. I would also give thom the edge overall, but in some of NYs early acoustic performances his guitar tone and sound is incredible. Old laughing lady and the loner are a couple that come to mind.
Neil Young or Thom Yorke? Hard call.
Yes. Jeff Buckley close too.
I feel like any Radiohead fan always likes all three of the aforementioned considering the influences these artist have had on each other
@@bruce_singsAstonishing in the early 70s. Live at Massy Hall is a masterpiece
Why is everyone telling us to die because we like Dan... We happen to also like the song and it shouldn't make a difference that Dan brought us here.
nobody cares how you got here
I'm a phan and yes I came here from Dan but I find it so annoying how people say "DAN SENT ME" and how it's the top comments on the video
why is it so annoying if people say they came here from Dan like how does that bother you at all
because other people who didnt may be looking through the comments for some actual discussion over the video or other topic, but theyre all clogged up with 'dan sent me' comments
Stevee Exactly. Belsbak Lolzel To put it simply for the Dan fans, if you were watching one of "Dan's" _(whoever he is)_ videos, and scrolled down to the comments, only to see people saying stuff like:
_"Hey, Paul sent me here",_ or _"I'm here because of Paul"_ - Then you too would be like: _"who the fuck is Paul"_ and: _"Why is no-one actually commenting about the video or content"._
i.e. it's a pretty f*cking annoying trend, not to mention disrespectful to the channel/content uploader in question - in that you have nothing really to say about their actual content _(whether positive or negative)_.
Thanks Thom for helping us get through life
as a radiohead fan. I wish I didn't have to scroll through two thousand comments about dan or anything associated with the topic, just to actually get to an intellectual comment about the intricacies of this lovely song. please would love for some to continue this chain on topic about this song. and not why u r here.
It doesn't really matter we just liked his cover so we wanted to see the actual song. We aren't hating, if anything we are saying we like the song.
yeah honestly Dan's fans just saw his cover and were curious about the song so they searched it up and found this video if it really causes you pain to see people talking about dan in the comments just watch the video itself you don't need to read the comments
Totally Samantha Cake. You are evidently one of those Dan fans.
Hey, we liked his cover, and wanted to hear the song, if you have a problem with people saying that Dan brought them here, AND THEY ACTUALLY LIKE THE SONG then go fuck a pickle
Gotta agree with ya Joe.
Comes a point you only want people who are mesmerised by Thom's genius.
Accident,y clicked on this once as a kid and now as an adult it brings me sm comfort
I emigrated from England to Australia 14 years ago and I can't explain it but this song gave me so much comfort when I was feeling homesick 🙃
His voice gets better and better as he ages. It's like a good wine.
Thom has given us so much in his lifetime, much more than I think he realizes. Our only curse is knowing there is no measure of gratitude great enough to thank him. All we can do is preserve the beautiful legacy to which he has carved himself.
Dan actually got me here because I liked the song he played and I'm also a pianist and wanted to here the song and I stayed here because this is beautiful and I thank him for sending me here
Maybe thank the person who wrote the song, yknow?
Yazmyne ^^^ true
Jesus...so freaking talented. Just Beautiful.
Wow so much hate in this comment section. So what we came here from Dan? You don't need to insert the fact that "yOu LiKeD tHiS sOnG BeFoRe iT wAs CoOl" This is a great song and a majority of the people saying they came from Dan are also saying it's a great song so basically you like a song we like a song but we just happened to come from one guy. So why is everyone being so rude? Can't we appreciate the music together?
Twenty One Phans Exactly. I just don't understand why people are so triggered about it. I do understand that a lot of people are saying that they came because they heard Dan playing it, and it can get annoying to see so many comments about the same thing(some of them are actually so cringy oh god) but there's no need to be rude. He brought us here because we liked what we heard, and we like the song. It's beautiful. And that's what matters. People honestly should find their chill and respect others a bit more.
Twenty One Phans SAME WITH THE CLIQUE HOLY SHIT
shut up nerd people are mad bc yall r flooding the comments with "ooh came here from Dan!!!!" as if that were relevant information...... literally hes said in his liveshow to cut that out its annoying when yr just trying to look in the comments for other's opinions on the song/video and its all the same 'came here from ____' comment
Username 666 We are flooding the comments because we think it's cool how one person gathered thousands of people to one beautiful song and i don't know why you feel the need to be rude because we both like this song and the only difference is that some people came from Dan. If you don't like people saying they came from Dan just don't look at the comments. It's not madatory to read the comments to watch the video. Have a good day.
PrimevalSeriesSixFic dude why the fuck are you being so rude? Did anyone insult you? Did anyone do anything to you? Why are you so fucking triggered? Chill, for God's sake.
I literally have goosebumps after listening to this. Thom's voice is just so chillingly beautiful.
When trying to sing songs of this guy, it's like a star in the sky, you think you can reach it but it'll never happen.
I was brought here by Daniel Howell. And I'm happy about it. This song is amazing (Phil).
I'll go now
Kathleen Kitty please stop people are already mad. Cant you read? Stop commenting about this dan dude
Lmao the pun at the end would be Dan and Phil approved
One of the best live vocal performances I have ever heard from Thom Yorke. It shows that when he concentrates on singing rather than dancing he is still next level.
I am a massive fan of Dan and Phil, but I'm here because I like the song. People aren't getting mad at you for coming here because of Dan they're getting mad because you feel the need to say why you're here. Most people will not give a shit that you came from Dan, and fair enough 1 or 2 comments saying that they came from Dan is fine but when there's loads of them that's when it's ridiculous. You can come and enjoy the song without telling everyone Dan sent you here because that just makes people hate the phandom and hate Dan for 'sending' you here.
Yeah I'm in the Pham and i can't stand the over obsessive phangirls that relate every thing to Dan and Phil. Like I will watch and the person sneezes and then some phangirl has to be like OMG REMEMBER WHEN DAN SNEEZES ON PHIL HOW(ell) CUTE!! And then the other come by and go IKR IT WAS SO ADORABLE!!!
Ugh makes me mad
After watch should be thr word something
Thank you! God that's why people hate the Phandom, it's so fucking annoying at times
this is hauntingly beautiful and makes me cry every time i listen to it
Bless I have always heard this in Dan's videos where he is playing the piano. It's so nice to finally hear the full version. Beautiful!
man, my parents played me radiohead as a kid and this brings me back. he's such a talented musician.
lolol thank God for this acoustic version, i would never have eard the chords from the bassline in the other version
50% of comments: OMG WE KNEW THIS SONG BEFORE DAN PLAYED IT
30% of comments: I'M HERE BECAUSE OF DAN (me lol)
20%of comments: SO WHAT IF WE'RE HERE FOR DAN WHAT R U GONNA DO ABOUT IT FITE ME U CERAMIC BITCH
hastag whydiddanthrowphil omg "fite me u ceramic bitch" im

Bahahahahahahahhaah! Lolz, very true

Imagine writing this song the day your mother passed away ...
The lyrics take on a whole new meaning ...
It is a son who "tells" his birth to his mother.
Praise the lord for Dan Howell for bringing me here

McFlurry AJ same
McFlurry AJ omg same what a coincidence 😂😂 thought I was the only one
To command a space so completely must feel so special. What a performer.
Thom's voice in this is nothing short of perfect
This song always makes me want to cry. It's just so beautiful.
We are all living in the thom yorke world
That outro gave me CHILLS
this song makes me want to cry in a bathtub filled with bath bombs
It makes me want to write, because it's perfect for relaxing and not having to focus on it to find it beautiful

Allahu Akbar!
let me join you ;-; xD
The song is so calming, it's so pretty
i heard this song live
one of the best nights of my life hands down
Perfection.
I wasn't sent here by Dan, but man, am I glad I stumbled across it! Brilliant version of this song.
literally enchanted by Thom's unearthly voice , this song makes me cry 🖤
I'm in love with this song.
I like this version better than the original.
And yes, Danyull my tall bean sent me here.
same
same.
Tall beans are best beans.
This and the HD concert versions are 100% better imho. Incredible song, beautiful songwriting
Same but I'm learning it now
After I heard this song I knew I had to learn to play it and that was a year ago. Thank you for inspiring me ❤️
Now this...this is art
I was introduced to this song over Christmas 2020 when I listened to it for hours and hours. Thanks for the introduction Jacob, I love this version x
Thom is able to dance around our current barrier in understanding oursleves and our limits of perception. He is delivering the bleeding edge of being able to vocalise the end of our ability to describe the daunting task of admitting to ourselves we know absolutely nothing and to just listen again.
Okay I'm sure a lot of us are here because DAN but this song is amazing. I'm happy I found it.
The Piano piece at the end is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of anything i have heard. Thanks Thom.
Thank you Dan for introducing me to this beautiful piece of music and this extremely talented artist. ~ a satisfied phandom member.
This is the best performance by Thom Yorke ever
