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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
+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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’ve run out of words to express my awe every single time this man transforms his own most eclectic songs into something like this. Every time I’m blown away like dandelion seeds.
This song makes me feel like I've lived a thousand lives and all the experiences I had are ripping me apart. That's what true art does to you. It gives you a deeper feeling of existence.
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
i keep coming back to this video a lot, especially when i feel sick and sad. sometimes i feel better after hearing thom sing, maybe it's a placebo but i genuinely do feel better after
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¢
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.
Friends, we have all been brought to this beautiful music by different people, groups and reasons. Why can't we just live together in harmony? Listen, if you're a radio head, that's cool, if you're a Phan, then welcome. It's not like we aren't less of a viewer or person than you are. We like the song. We recognize Thom for performing it. We are not trying to dishonor him or give all the credit to Dan, but it is he who spread word to us that this existed.
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.
Is this seriously not one of the most beautiful sounds ever? Blows me away every time. I don't plan to die any time soon, but I want THIS version of THIS song at my funeral.
Just here for my weekly listen to this, ten years on
You still listening?
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
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
Thom Yorke is one of the greatest musicians of the century
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.
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
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 is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
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.
years later, this performance still speaks to my heart, what a gorgeous 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.
Thank you
Wish I could give this comment a million likes.
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.
Preach
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
Absolutley. They gave the song what it deserved. Aren't people amazing!
Been crying to this song for 6 years now
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.
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?
One of those songs that just makes your eyes water.
This song and version is just pure perfection.
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 🙃
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 YOU ARE A GENIUS YOU SAVED MY LIFE
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?!
When Thom Yorke sings so beautifully, I am melting away ...
I cannot hear this song just once, I must repeat it at least a couple times. It's ridiculously beautiful
10 years later and still bawling my eyes out to this
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.
100% 🙌
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
Accident,y clicked on this once as a kid and now as an adult it brings me sm comfort
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.
Any time I feel like stressed out….this is the fix. Melodic masterpiece by Yorke
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
His voice gets better and better as he ages. It's like a good wine.
Thom Yorke brought me here
There must be something beautiful in the world when Thom sings.
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
Thom Yorke's one of those people I would marry purely for their insane musical talent
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
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
Its just how people are. They like to make themselves feel superior to everyone else. They just cant listen and enjoy the beautiful music.
Thom's voice in this is nothing short of perfect
I’m lonely and sad with my life. But Thom puts me at ease.
Jesus...so freaking talented. Just Beautiful.
i don't think i've ever hit the replay button this many times
He is a living legend
Great. You jinxed it. Now he's gonna die some day. Nice goin'
We are all living in the thom yorke world
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.
Another glimpse into what makes his songs so great... behind the intricate facade, the structure/ scaffolding is strong.
i heard this song live
one of the best nights of my life hands down
I literally have goosebumps after listening to this. Thom's voice is just so chillingly beautiful.
This song plays as I shift from this reality into another dimension.
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.
this is hauntingly beautiful and makes me cry every time i listen to it
This song always makes me want to cry. It's just so beautiful.
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.

yeah
well you know it
gone with a touch of your hand
gone with a touch of your hand
move through the moment

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
Joao Ribeiro THANK YOU THE COMMENTS WERE LITERALLY DNP stuff and I wanted the lyrics
Thank you!
Thanks a lot!!!
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 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)
Love this version better than the original.... it so beautiful
Thom yorke is just....... god
I'm not a big fan of amok album too .... and I am also not a big fan of radiohead king of the limbs album .... I'm more of a in rainbows kinda guy lol

+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
Thanks Dan for bringing me to this music. I literally love this so much
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
man, my parents played me radiohead as a kid and this brings me back. he's such a talented musician.
This piece of music is beautiful, one of the best songs I have ever heard. I thank you, Thom Yorke, for making such a touching song.
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!
The way he says “Thanks” at the end.
To command a space so completely must feel so special. What a performer.
one of the most stunning performances of all time
The song is so calming, it's so pretty
Thanks Thom for helping us get through life
I’ve run out of words to express my awe every single time this man transforms his own most eclectic songs into something like this. Every time I’m blown away like dandelion seeds.
The Piano piece at the end is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of anything i have heard. Thanks Thom.
This song makes me feel like I've lived a thousand lives and all the experiences I had are ripping me apart. That's what true art does to you. It gives you a deeper feeling of existence.
i found this song by da...
i mean my own music taste and love of thom yorke
Glad I'm not the only one.
No, it was Dan wasn't it
I learned it on piano because DAN inspired me lol
megan graham omg same
Giorgi Sabashvili I came because of dan, but now i LOVE Thom yorke XD
Thank you Dan for introducing me to this beautiful piece of music and this extremely talented artist. ~ a satisfied phandom member.
I wasn't sent here by Dan, but man, am I glad I stumbled across it! Brilliant version of this song.
I'm so happy that I found this song. Thank you dan
I'm coming just to say that ingenue it's at this version timeless unique piece of music. light for the soul.
The phan anthem
chloepenguins Nope now it's Thinking Out Loud because they danced to it with each other..
chloepenguins I think it destroyed all our pheels honestly :3
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
i keep coming back to this video a lot, especially when i feel sick and sad. sometimes i feel better after hearing thom sing, maybe it's a placebo but i genuinely do feel better after
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 ❤️
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.
So lovely... Thom's solo piano performances are beautiful
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?

Well said
That outro gave me CHILLS
This is so beautiful, thank you for preserving this.
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.

Man I almost forgot about this song. One of my all time favourites. Yorke is absolutely amazing.
Don't care what people are saying thank you Dan for making me discover a beautiful song ❤️✌🏻️
I'm in love with this song.
I'm glad more people now enjoy Thom Yorke.
Came from Dan. Stayed for Thom. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of music (or at least this version of it)
My dad used to play this on the piano to get me to sleep. This song has a lot of good memories.
You must be like 5 then?

Indubitably 💜
This song, and this performance, is a thing of pure beauty.
Is this seriously not one of the most beautiful sounds ever? Blows me away every time. I don't plan to die any time soon, but I want THIS version of THIS song at my funeral.
This song gives me goosebumps, it's amazing
