"Man Of War" is true masterpiece! But it sounds like being from another album (for example, it reminds me "Down is the New Up" a bit). "Man of War" was not bad for OK Computer. Just the opposite - this song is much better than anything on OKC. Maybe that's why it wasn't release then :)
WarwickF1 hell no its not "much better than anything on okc" , ok computer has many masterpieces that leave man of war in the dust. Its a very good song and i agree its better than fitter happier but its not better than anything else ok computer, period.
prakhar pant What's wrong with Fitter Happier? And I don't get why it doesn't fit on OKC... Or at least, why you say so. I think it's more an artist's decision whether which song fits on an album, it's very personal and I could see this one on OKC
Man of War < Airbag < Paranoid Android > Subterranean Homesick Alien < Exit Music > Let Down < Karma Police > Fitter Happier < Electioneering < Climbing Up the Walls < No Surprises > Lucky > The Tourist This is objective.
I play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. One time, a good friend and DM of mine (coincidentally also called Josh) offered to run a one-shot fantasy horror campaign he'd written himself. He asked me and one other person playing to send him a song to act as the theme for our characters. I sent him this, mostly because I'm a huge fan of Josh's work and it loosely fit the tone of the character I'd decided to play: a good-natured but selfish thief who had stumbled upon something much bigger than himself. It was one of the best campaigns I've ever played - the atmosphere was terrifying and beautiful and the story was fantastic. But it wouldn't be the same without this song. It took on a whole new meaning and managed to perfectly summarise my character's thoughts as he wandered down the streets of our generic fantasy town, terrified of every dark corner and struggling with deep insecurities about his own moral nature. I'm aware that Josh has likely never played Dungeons and Dragons or any roleplaying storytelling game, but he inadvertently composed the soundtrack for one of the most wonderful, scary and emotional journeys I've ever been on and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you so much, Josh. You are a gift to the world and your talent is unfathomable.
LYRICS Drift all you like From ocean to ocean Search the whole world But drunken confessions And hijacked affairs Will just make you more alone When you come home I'll bake you a cake Made of all their eyes I wish you could see me Dressed for the kill You're my man of war You're my man of war And the worms will come for you Big Boots Yeah, yeah, yeah So unplug the phones Stop all the taps It all comes flooding back From poisoned clouds To poisoned dwarf You're my man of war You're my man of war And the worms will come for you Big Boots Yeah the worms will come for you Big Boots For you Big Boots
Even though reflecting the same emotions which are generally unique to a Radiohead song on a single instrument is a very hard task, you manage to achieve it everytime. Great work as always. Thanks again.
No way. This is my first time listening to this cover, your rendition of a song I’ve recently become addicted to. And let’s not forget I am one of those people who listen to your Paranoid Android Cover every night. I’m afraid I’ll fall hopelessly in love with this and there will be no way back. I love your love for RH.
Greetings from cold Russia! Although this song appeared just a few months ago (for me, at least), it has become one of my favorite at all times. So, thank you very much for choosing it for you cover! And yes, your performance is fantastic. (P.S. Sorry for my bad English)
I just picked up your Radiohead for Solo piano book last week on a whim. I hadn’t even heard of you and I simply wanted to pick-up some sheet music for Radiohead as I am guitar player learning to play piano. Your book jumped out at me and I decided to jump in head first. Hours of RUclips watching entrained. Very inspiring - and this cover of Man of War is amazing. I would also like to purchase the sheet music for this if/when it is released by you. You have made a stunning contribution to the music community!
Absolutely stunning, impactful rendition of what is easily one of the most memorable Radiohead songs ever. Blows my mind to think that Thom ever doubted the value of this song on his earlier albums. Love your work, Josh; you have great taste in songs to cover. You easily have one of the most menacing, stylish takes on the music you play out of anyone covering these songs.
this is one of my most favorite Radiohead songs and they're completely INSANE to have left it off the original release of OK Computer.. you nailed it so beautifully ...20 years later *sigh*
It's nice to see the dampers move in the videos. It's also a little strange for me to watch them, as the pedal is such a subconscious movement these days.
This gives me absolute chills. The arrangement is fuuuuucking INCREDIBLE, dude. Jeeeesuuuus. I keep coming back lol. I need it on spotify or something..
You make absolute amazing Radiohead piano covers! Incredible how you manage to include all the little details. Can’t wait for your songbook to come out.
These videos are not only incredible covers of Radiohead songs, they're also great tutorials for me. You're the reason I know how to play Daydreaming. Thanks so much for the awesome content!
Hey Josh, thank you. I have been waiting for your book man. I've been on and off with your channel for quite some time. Very talented you are. I just signed up for your newsletter so i can be notified when that book comes by. It's pretty crazy how time flies. When I first found out about this book you've been putting together, I actually challenged myself to learn how to read music and at the same time improve on the piano since. Your videos always inspired me to practice so I thank you. I hope you have a great day!
Amazing work. I really wish you'd included this in the book. I also wish your book had a more forgiving spine or downloads of the sheets. I'm breaking the book by learning from it.
2024 update! New Radiohead piano tutorials and songbook coming soon! emergencypianohotline.com
imagine being radiohead in 1997 and thinking that man of war isnt good enough for ok computer
never ceases to amaze me

Thanks for the story and the kind words. Nice to hear how the music can set the scene for something like this.
Fuck I have to start playing DnD with my friends
LYRICS
Drift all you like
From ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
But drunken confessions
And hijacked affairs
Will just make you more alone
When you come home
I'll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me
Dressed for the kill
You're my man of war
You're my man of war
And the worms will come for you
Big Boots
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So unplug the phones
Stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
From poisoned clouds
To poisoned dwarf
You're my man of war
You're my man of war
And the worms will come for you
Big Boots
Yeah the worms will come for you
Big Boots
For you
Big Boots
Thank you
Your Radiohead covers absolutely blow my mind. Every single note is ... in its right place;) I would like to hear Lift or Lull as well ;)
Thanks for the requests, Tony ✌️
This song is hypnotizing
Even though reflecting the same emotions which are generally unique to a Radiohead song on a single instrument is a very hard task, you manage to achieve it everytime. Great work as always. Thanks again.

Come back to this a lot, Josh. I think it's your best cover ever. Bravo again.
Thank you ✌️
4 people seem to preffer tiny boots.
The worms will come for them
Thank you so much for doing this. It is life-enrichment.

sounds really good Josh ,
thanks for all you do , your music is relaxing.
You're welcome, Mark. Thanks for the support!
I was just reading that article where Thom interviews Benedict Cumberbatch. It was pretty warm-hearted.
I love RADIOHEAD
I love you
too.
Atemberaubende Darstellung von diesem Wunderschönem Song. Thank you verry much for this wonderful Intermezzo
Absolutely stunning, impactful rendition of what is easily one of the most memorable Radiohead songs ever. Blows my mind to think that Thom ever doubted the value of this song on his earlier albums. Love your work, Josh; you have great taste in songs to cover. You easily have one of the most menacing, stylish takes on the music you play out of anyone covering these songs.
Thanks so much, Mike. Appreciate the kind words ✌️
This song is unbelievable.
Dude if i were Thom i would invited you to play something a long time a go
Emilio Marchant that would be amazing.
Beautiful. The melody is so dissonant. It makes you feel anxious and paranoid in a splendid way.
this is one of my most favorite Radiohead songs and they're completely INSANE to have left it off the original release of OK Computer.. you nailed it so beautifully ...20 years later *sigh*
I've been waiting for this video for months since you said you were writing the sheet, love it!
Yep, the arrangement has been finished for a while. Just needed to find the time to record it 😃

It's nice to see the dampers move in the videos. It's also a little strange for me to watch them, as the pedal is such a subconscious movement these days.
