Saw someone hold up a blackberry phone...that's how long we waited for this song to come out. Worth it
And now it’s finally on The Smile album… worth the waiting
Who’s here after a light for attracting attention
Me
I'll never understand how people can talk during a performance like this. I would be unable to.
I missed so many years. I can't believe I'm finally going to get to see this live this year😭
He's so grumpy, yet so adorable at the same time.

12 years waiting to hear this song full band with smile and not with Radiohead.
Thom Yorke is one hell of a man.
Now this is a CLASSIC THOM! Purely AMAZING!
When you watch handycam videos on youtube the singing along seems a lot more noticeable because the cameras rarely have directional mikes and just pick up whatever sounds are closest and loudest. I think one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed was Thom singing Karma Police here in Vancouver and everyone singing along for that last "Myself..." and all of them fading out because no one can hold the note as long as he can. Totally brilliant!
Don't bore us
Get to the chorus
Open the floodgates
We want the good bits
Without the bullshit
And no heartache
Hold on
Hold on
No pain and
No suffering
And no one gets hurt
We absorb you
We absolve you
Open the floodgates
Hold on
Hold on
I cried the day after i went to this concert and listened to it on youtube
Thom saying what he did, shows just how much music means to him. That's real passion. Most other artists would be scared of losing their fans... not Thom - To him all that matters is the music. That's the way way it should be.
Love that song
this better be on the next album
ylang ylang Sorry. We did get a good album, though.
I hope you mean A Moon Shaped Pool and not The King Of Limbs
Thom's fourth album maybe?
I'm still waiting.
@@Thornstream its finally being released
don't bore us
get to the chorus
open the floodgates
we want the good bits
without the bullshit
and no heartache
no pain and
no suffering
and no one gets hurt
we absolve you
we absolve you
open the floodgates
Thom is a time traveller
Such a beautiful song...
beautiful
I wish every group I saw would tell their audience to shut up and stop with all the inane chattering during their concerts. My love for this man just soared to new heights. Amazing song btw.
this is like the third new Radiohead song I've seen tonight and they've all been excellent. someone was on a roll :)
last flowers to the hospital reference nice :D
Splendid!
12 years later and It's out
Yeah that crowd is pretty terrible
What's incredible to me is how the theme of the lyrics hauntingly coincides with the situation. My personal interpretation of the song is a very sad commentary on American culture's constant desire for instant gratification. It's just funny to hear people utilize their ADD to it's fullest extent while he plays the song... if I was Thom I'd just say "Thanks for proving my point!" Haha.
damn. damn. hes so damn great. so beautiful. thats art^^. everytime i listen to that, i think of a deeper meaning in music. nobody else gets me like he does^^.
Oh, good song! I can totally imagine this with a full Radiohead ensemble going at it. Has to be a lock for the album.
It's getting released by the smile, so it's going to have a jazz influence when it's released
Thom is such a cool cat
"If you wanna have a chat go fuck off outside alright?"
And then everyones silent.
This sounds like it's about top 40 chart music where all that matters is a catchy chorus and lyrics about having fun
It's out noww
I think this one would be brilliant as a final song on an album....with a touch of that Nigel magic of course.
Does it being the ninth song on an album work for you? ❤
@YeahiKnowSillyName I think he said "'course you won't get back in" as in 'of course'
I wish this was on TKOL
ALFAA 😊
I'm waiting for a Thom Yorke solo album based entirely around the piano.
i got tickets for their april 10th and 11th shows in chicago coming up, and april 10 is my birthday! 2days of thom yorke, not to mention Atoms for Peace, and on my birthday!
love this! thanks
fucking gorgeous!
i like that song.
hell yeah this is really good
fucking astonishing.
realy cool lyrics...
Exactly.
Am I the only one on this planet who looooooves Radiohead and Coldplay equaly? they are my favourite bands.
wow wow wow
Stop arguing everyone! This song is awesome!
@LantaGem "Open the floodgates" is what he's been doing for us for years, and yeah, i agree with you
STUDIO VERSION, PLEASE.
ATTENTION, THIS WILL BE IN RADIOHEAD MISTERY OF THE LIMBS (TKOL 2 if you prefer) along with super collider, present tense, the hollow earth, skirting on the surface and feeling pulled apart by the horses, atoms for peace and a totally new song called "mistery of the four limbs" which sounds killer!!!
That would've been an interesting reality.
What are 12 years compared to eternity ?
...i dont know about you guys..but im also into heavy metal..and some local bands around my area have fans (including myself) that sing along with some of their more known songs...personaly with Cryptkicker if it isn't new i sing... its about PASSION..and Americans have it...the last Nine inch nails show i went to (one trents last shows) i sang every song and i wasn't alone.. i have never been to a radiohead show so i cant say anything about that though i wish i could.
Comparing Radiohead to Coldplay is like comparing Shawshank Redemption to Toy Story... but sometimes it's fun to watch Toy Story.
No-one compares to Radiohead, but does that mean we should only listen to one band? Not everyone can be the greatest.
the smile....
As in, the smile that lies to you everyday
'Don't bore us, get to the chorus' I'm sure that's from an interview with Dave Grohl and Kyle Gass.
This would sound cool with bossa nova drums and percussion and cool synths! heehee.
Well, turns out you got your wish for added synths, at least....
What a fucking masterpiece this is, in any version.
Don't Bore us. get through the chorus. Open the Flood gates. We want the good bits without the bullshit and no heartache. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No pain, No Suffering and no one gets hurt. We absolve you. We absolve you. Open flood gates. Hold On. Hold on. Hold on.
This number pretty much wraps up his feelings expressed toward the music industry around the time Meeting People is Easy was filmed.
Johnny's just saying his opinion, its a free world fucker. Much respect all the same. :)
❤️❤️❤️
@WeAreEternal1223 i have been looking up potential songs for the new album for the past hour and it is making me that much more excited.. Radiohead stuff and Thom Yorke solo stuff. Don't be scared. Its going to be amazing.
don't sing along to songs? we do! maybe not everywhere, but i haven;t been to a show YET where people don't sing along...in america.
@wburgboy75 Is exactly right. cold play themselves would admit as much. I'm pretty sure Chris Martin already has
and greatest hits for Roxette! ;)
Immagine this with those flugelhorns... amazing.
This is amazing fuck
Thom Yorke should be banned from Earth, this much talent is unfair to us mortals. btw, The Smile's version is just out of this world, probably one of the best produced songs I have heard from a band that already has ultra high production values
You know that comment wasn't even necessarily a criticism. The sad little boy thing is sorta a big part of Thom's appeal. Anyway, good on you for bringing out the 'hater' tag. One day I hope we'll retire that shit for good.
woooooooooooooow
It took a blackberry taking a video for me to be like "wait wtf, what year was this?" 2009. Time fucking flies.
@aisfle I agree. This would be a sick album opener.
@wburgboy75
a lot of coldplay sounds like mid-90s radiohead
Don't bore us
Get to the chorus
Open floodgates
We want the good bits
And not the bullshit
And no heartache
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hmmmm. I was hoping the temple blocks might come into play. Oh well. Very nice song.
@ShazerThe ?I hope not ;) Cause there would be no change that there will ever be a studio version of this great song. :'(
Why do people pay good money to see a band and then talk talk talk through the whole thing?
They can talk all they want on the way home. Thom does have a very good point.
I'm already afraid about what he may say to me...I'll be seeing them twice in NY in November and I plan on doing a few videos from my phone...I think I'm going to be close enough that if he says something I'll be embarrassed as hell!
@travroy I've no idea =D Its maddening! They probably want to get attention or make use of the silent situation and get attention that way when its on the internet to be able to say "Look! That was me!" >_>
i can hear some neil young there
I love Thom's attitude towards the crowd sometimes. He's like Nina Simone in that regard.
What actually did he say?
@@rachelvillarim3279 "If you want to have a chat, fuck off outside alright?" and then "..'course you won't get back in."
Damn, I can't believe I didn't recognise this song when I first listened to The Smile's A Light for Attracting Attention. I've got written proof that I'd already listened to it before, right here.
No era mi intención abrir debate sobre algo tan subjetivo como la belleza, veo que tu tienes las cosas muy claras, enhorabuena.
@Cestpasmarrant Why do you think that??? U think they might've reworked it???
thom really sounds like neil young in this song. not a bad thing, just pointing it out. he's done lots of neil covers anyhow when he plays solo so not a surprise.
@RowdyPizer I agree with you, Radiohead is of course on higher level,but that doesn't make Coldplay rubbish. I love them equaly,but I know Radiohead is better from artistic point of view.
What does he say in the beginning?
"If you want to have a chat, go fuck off outside ... cause you won't get back in."
HAH
What’s he saying at the beginning?
So lucky whoever was there! 😭
@LantaGem
right on target. ;-)
I'm scard and confused.
have we already heard stripped down versions of all the songs on the album?
or are we still in for a big surprise?
@ShazerThe how in the world did you reach that conclusion?
@wburgboy75 Yeah, you obviously know a lot about music theory. I'm no Coldplay fan, but I'm excited to hear about the theoretical differences here, since there aren't any. While it is true that there's a difference in the soundscape, the theory and structure of the music is completely the same. Anyone who says otherwise and claims to base that on music theory, are show-offs who know nothing about music theory.
@JohnTheFaun It is your duty as a human being.
i bet thom will add some awesome stuff to the song :P
what do you think now?
@@liquidmetal5616 haha! 12 years holy!
I love the smile album and this Version is upon my favs of the new record!
what do you think?:)
@@DavidC119 Wow i wasn't expecting that quick reply. I think it is amazing. One of the best tracks of the album imo.
@@liquidmetal5616 I wasn't expecting an answer to my 12 year old post 😄
yes its really one of the best songs from the new album :)
@2ManyMe Maybe this turned into Codex? Interesting..
@jirdimaster "no one gets hurt". The first chord on this song (which is basically 1/3 of the song) is used on the bridge of Codex. There are similarities, but that's why I said "I think", you can't take for granted an opinion. Also, I'm not the only one with this hypothesis, I've read some people saying the same.
@nilsk123 Well,good for me,I get to enjoy twice as much as you :P
@RoboDouche thats bs, I dont even consider it an opinion if people compare the two bands, Radiohead is leagues and leagues better, the issue isnt people who like coldplay its people who come on these videos and compare the two.
Chris Martin taking notes
If you want to compare Radiohead to anything, I think it would be a bottle of the best wine money can buy. Drink it now and it's amazing, but somehow it gets better with age.
it's a grower
@Aleiksandar Both are fucking awesome. I do have to say though that even through Coldplay is damn good art... Radiohead is high art... they are just on another level from other bands. Sigur Ros is another band that makes high art but they just aren't as good as Radiohead.
And then, "but you won't get back in!"
