In Daydreaming Thom visits many rooms, in Lift, many rooms visit you.
NickelCityPixels He goes through sliding doors, secret doors, he pulk/pushes revolving doors, doors that let him in and out...
In soviet russia, rooms visit you!

Radiohead - Daydreaming (USSR Mix)
Ha...Deep.. ;)
I never noticed how perfectly thom embodies just some guy on an elevator
hahahahaha
This song feels like the last day of a trip and you dont want to leave
well said.
It's time to come home...
truth :,(
woah you're so right
me watching this after getting home from the place i didnt want to leave
"this is the first day of the rest of your days"
happy new year everyone
Thom awkwardly avoiding eye contact is my spirit animal.
"mines the buzzard"
"Do not react"
This is honestly one of the most comforting and happy songs I have ever heard. It feels like a hug after a long and lonely rainy day.
I legit cried when i heard this for the first time. Life was particularly hard at the time so it felt like this song was soothing the heart.
Whenever I'm extremely sad I just sit down and listen to this song and cry it all out.
Are we listening to the same song?
It is so... the Beatles:-) I love the guitar and the forever-boyish Thom's voice.
Totally
Background of this song that I’m sure most are aware of but I’ll say it anyway:
This song was originally written for The Bends. They performed it live a couple of times in 1996. They tried to develop it more to put it on OK Computer, but they thought the commercial potential of the song was too stressful, so they never finished it.
The live version and some early studio versions are much more explosive and loud, and were a fan favorite for unreleased/bootlegged songs.
In 2017, for the 20th anniversary of OK Computer, they released a finished version of the song. Along with a music video of Thom in a lift, visiting different rooms, with cameos from characters from other music videos. Such as the kid from Paranoid Android at 2:52.
Wow, didn't spot the kid from Paranoid Android in this, good eye
Thom's wife also appears at 0:19
And maybe Phil appears at 1:40 lol
The person at 3:02 looks like that Oscar Hudson guy from the "The Numbers" vignette
I had a suspicion I've seen the kid somewhere, but there is no chance I would think about an animation.
@@jovidog9573 plus the girl who pushes the buttons is Thom's daughter (according to pitchfork)
I think the guy walking with a cane who couldn't catch the lift could be resembling the man from the "karma police" mv (similar clothing) with another theory relating the "man of war" mv when it comes to the mans looks
surprisingly, this is one of the few songs by radiohesd that actually feels uplifting and comforting in a strange way.
I find it incredibly comforting.
Its like a goddamn hug.
If you haven’t listened to “Separator” I recommend you do so
radiohead
it's deeply hopeful. not sure how it makes me feel, but i like it :)
It is definitely more outwardly uplifting than many songs they've done, but for sure I think In Rainbows is one of their more feel good albums. Very energetic and positive. Weird Fishes never fails to make me crack a smile.
Just imagine. A song this good not making it on the album.
IT is, in the OknotOk
For an album as good as OK COMPUTER. I cant complain
It sounded like a Bends song so they didn't put it on the album
@@apararkobhattacharya1276 they didnt put it on because it was too "anthemic". they didnt want another huge single to overshadow the whole album
@@saturnjr9136 yup you have a point
Imagine being in an elevator with Thom Yorke.
tal yorke *clicks every lift number but the one he wants to go to*
yeahhh ikr
tal yorke I'm gonna bite him with my Pearly teeth while we're Nude. I don't care if I'll look like a Creep as long as the elevator's going down 'cause Down is the New Up.
tal yorke Hey wait, I've seen a comment by you on another Radiohead video...
tal yorke dude I actually see you everywhere
For you guys who want the lyric
This is the place
Sit down, you're safe now
You've been stuck in a lift
We've been trying to reach you, Thom
This is the place
It won't hurt ever again
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly-up
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to come home
This is the place
Remember me
I'm the face you always see
You've been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale
At the bottom of the ocean
The smell of air-conditioning
The fish are belly-up
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to come home
The smell of air-conditioning
The fish are belly-up
Let it go
Today is the first day of the rest of your days
So lighten up, squirt
thom once mentioned it could be the 'smell of recognition'
Ty
Thank you
why does everyone keep messing up the last line? It's 'squat', not 'squirt'. When someone gets stuck in an elevator they're told to squat down. The song is literally about the fear of getting stuck in an elevator, not orgasms lol
@@weaveadoor issa joke.
3:18 this note is magnificent why does no one talk about it
ed
Have you ever been there ?
What does this note mean to you?
Gabriel Amado really like analogy, thanks
Thoooooooom
Imagine writing an album so good you felt comfortable leaving a masterpiece such as this off of it. Mind-blowing.
TBF, it wouldn't have fit the album anyway. It's a masterpiece, as you say, but is very different to the rest of the album.
Tbh, the themes of comfort at the beginning and end, the sense of security, warmth, and reassurance, dont really fit in with OK Computer. The paranoia, alienation filled tracks from paranoid android to no surprises has a very heavy anxious mood. Still, very deserving of a Single though.
I love Radiohead but they have nothing on the Smashing Pumpkins' B-Sides. Mellon Collie, arguably one of the greatest albums of all time, had a 5-CD-Box-Set full of top quality B-Sides
@@benhenschel145I’m a massive Pumpkins fan. But they’re nothing at all on Radiohead
@@ck891 that's nonsense. My point stands: when it comes to the amount and quality of B-Sides the Pumpkins blow Radiohead out of the water and that's also not surprising seeing as the Pumpkins put out about ten times as many b-sides as Radiohead if not more.
The present self afraid of the future, looking back on the past.
That's it !
Did you mean… the Present Tense? I'll walk myself out…
Rafael Afonso Either way, it was a pretty cool video
Afraid?
Pensei q era musica nova hehe
For a brief moment, the "01" in the elevator display turns into an "OK", then the doors open and Thom sees someone who looks like himself but isn't. That, I think, is Radiohead's lead singer looking back at the man he used to be when he made OK Computer.
He walks toward that person, but he isn't himself anymore - there is only one Thom, and they ain't him. They turn around to face the real one; he stays put, looking back at them. Even though he pressed "01" on the panel, he won't join them because they are not his destination. Rather, he contemplates the OK floor briefly, then moves on (presumably) to the ground floor where he needs to attend to real-life matters - hence the bags.
You nailed it.
nice - I suppose everyone noticed the upside-down number 13 as well for the upside-down floor
that’s beautiful
i thought it said OK before 01!
Timestamp plz
Imagine getting stuck in an elevator with Thom.
That would be quite the chat.
You or me - "You Thom Yorke. Me big fan. Radiohead much good."
Thom - "Cheers. This is my stop, mate."
Nah i would dry up in conversation
@@mop_dadoor8024 I'd just sit there wishing I could still make love.
@@Hakucho64 i'm a straight man but same
@@Hakucho64 I think he will leave me High. I hope not
I like the idea that Thom here has just accepted the slow drag of life and descended until the eventual end-- where he wouldn't have to be stuck anymore. In the end, we are all on the same lift together. There is an end to the descent. And you don't have to cut the descent short. Accept that your doors will open to strange places and people, and friends will come and press all of the floors. Whether you accept that or not, everyone wants you to stick around for a couple more floors. So stick around. Stick around with all of us and just... "let it go".
Great interpretation
yeah agreed, a nice way of putting it.
This is a really good interpretation :0
Dang I think differently about the song and life now. Thanks
:)
Floor "01" flashes to "OK" 3:33
Floor "13" is upside down 1:25

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
Listening to this song while being literally stuck in an elevator waiting for someone to arrive is actually something else, once in a lifetime
people: "what's the name of the guy that sings backing vocals for Radiohead?"
Ed O'Brien: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Robin!!!11!!
A man of peace. Letting others in his bubble to let them see peace in all the emotional brain waves and all the silence of its extent to let one cry
Shanti.
I love how he lifts his hands like, "Why???" when the kid (actually his daughter!) pushes all the buttons.
Seaport so cute!
Isn't that Thom's new girlfriend too?
destiny66 yes indeed and his daughter, agnes
He could've turned them off one by one. Most lifts have that functionality ryt?
Amox yes but that would be boring
What if we kissed in the radiohead lift....
Haha jk..
Unless? 😳
Smooth...
Yes plsss
Dont do it, you'll make thom feel awkward
Man, you can't say lift isn't one of the most emotional songs RH have ever made. because it's so.. applicable to everything. I see it as acceptance of living a mundane life, but being happy because life is still a blessing, so enjoy your journey, until it's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmeee to come home.
small edit: when watching the music video i saw at around 2:57 Thom is speaking to the electrician changing the lights, it's like "oh how are you doing that in a moving lift?" genuinely looks like he's actually asking, knowing Thom, he probably was. adorable
That would be the worst purgatory being stuck in an elevator for ever repeating the same loop watching all these different floors for all eternity
Idk I'd like that
This song feels like the most cathartic, warm hug from a friend you haven’t seen in forever
This is real music...
I completely agree
For the soul clings

well... it's not imaginary
this is... an incredibly corny comment
Mackenzie Theodore you greedy af having two first names
I had a similar experience shopping in IKEA.
I actually got trapped in a lift at work a couple of months ago. It was only for about 10 minutes, but I didn't know how long I'd be in there at the time. I'd love to tell you I handled the situation with dignity and grace, but I'd be lying. 🥺🥴😩😱😰😬🤯
I heard this song ages ago (in 1996), like it might even have been in demo form during the bends era, but I've always loved it, and glad they brought it out officially (in 2017s ok computer reissue). Such a beautiful song. It just goes to show that styles may change, but every great song has its own 'soul' to it, that will be appreciated and endure whatever the style
This song is like a hug from friend
KasiaJustMe is it true that I’m gay
this is beautiful
Hug from a friend we don’t have :’)
hugs are better than drugs
@@eddiew2325 underrated comment
thanks to the blonde girl who pressed all the buttons, otherwise we wouldn't have a music video.
That blonde girl is Thom Yorke's daughter and the Woman next to her is his girlfriend. You raised an interesting observation. I hadn't caught it that she was the one who sent him through all those different floors where he interacted with various characters.
@fuckoff pfffffffffff yeah lmao
And that would mean that his daughter and girlfriend are the ones who give his life stories?
@@chandraabudiman Wow
I would never had know this if you hadn't said it.
I don't know why but the first few lines:
This is the place
Sit down
You're safe now
Always make me at least well up if not start crying.
I dont know where home is and I certainly don't feel safe here.
But I do love radiohead :)
sometimes i look in the mirror and sing this to myself as if i was talking to me as a child
3:52 - wow
3:55 - oh shit
3:57 - OH SHIT BRUH
If "The Bends" and "OK Computer" made love and gave birth.
Watchdog OKNOTOK
Watchdog fun fact this song was unreleased and meant for OK computer but never made the cutting floor.
Makes me think it was recorded b tween both albums so your interpretation is spot on.
This song wasn't release for OK Computer because it sounded like a Bends song.
Zack Zallie Learn to read I already said that.
@@PixelPigEntertainment Sorry about that.
I've listened to it about 10,000 times now, and it's the only song that gives me goosebumps every time.
I love this song so much. I like listening to it when I'm sad, because it feels like a comforting "everything's gonna be okay." I hope everything will be okay.
I love everything about this. Thom and his amazing coat. The 1997 vibes. The old school music video. Every time Radiohead release an album someone starts a rumour they're doing 'guitar music' again. Well these bonus songs are as though they did. I'm in heaven.
Well it was written back in 1993. And they did recordings of this song along the way.
A day that starts with Radiohead releasing a new video is a fucking blessed day.
sweaq123 except when u have 12 hpurs of werk 😖
i've been seeing this music video for years now and just now i realized that at 1:15 the guy with the ripped formal and red cap was a reference to Wim Wenders' 'Paris, Texas'
Holy shit! You're right, it's Travis!
no waaaay omg!!

That part is so sad😂
One day, I will see the greatest band I've ever known live.
Just wanted to express my gratitude to Radiohead for finally releasing this song. It meant a lot to me many years ago, but it also means so much to me now at a different time in my life. Also, thanks to Mr. Oscar Hudson and team for making a great video, which I think adds to the song's impact, especially for those of use who are more visually oriented. So much packt into the song and video, but a few special takeaways for me: as a father, I laughed at how kids can throw a wrench in your plans just as you're starting to get moving. Also, not sure if intentional, but I though of the Harry Dean Stanton character from "Paris, Texas" (guy in red hat). I loved that movie, so maybe its just me, but I appreciated his inclusion.

Best comment so far
Thom Yorke and the Revels
Living in Oxford, I've seen him in town quite frequently. Last time I saw him was 2 months ago, crossing the road in this same exact green coat and white shoes!!! It was the closest I got to him, and all I could say is: "I love you man!!!" He got sooo embarrassed :))) My girlfriend told me later that I didn't just say it, I've actually shouted at him. Ouch! It was one of those cathartic moments.
whatt why is it that when i lived in oxford i never met the guy !! hahah
you are lucky !
I believe you. My friend told me he saw the whole band walking in a public bar once.
Lol he got embarrassed but he's used to it 😂
If you saw any of them again, please shout again for the rest of us who could only wish we could! WE LOVE THEM ALL!!
I've been visiting Oxford for a long time and actually bumped into him the other weekend :) I was so happy i couldn't believe it. Had Agnes with him so I didn't want to keep him but just basically told him I've been listening for about 25 years and he's amazing 😄also briefly discussed prophet synths which was awesome. ugh love it.
When i was 3 years old i entered a lift by myself at the lobby of a ski resort. When they noticed , My parents began stopping and searching every floor for me in a panic. Apparently some time later i strolled out of a lift into my mothers embrace as if nothing had happened. I was too young to remember any of this. But for as long as i can remember ive felt like a counterfeit in the world. Maybe im Really still on that lift. This is my favorite music video,thanks Radiohead
These guys have some of the greatest and most emotionally resonant music videos ever made.

Daydreaming 2: Still Lost
best comment ever
accurately
What makes you think he was lost on daydreaming?
One of the first Radiohead songs I listened to on repeat this time last year. Still do it now.
as Thom reaches floor 1, the screen above the door flashes 'OK'. I love all of radioheads little secrets and touches.
Is that the kid from Paranoid Android at 2:52?
Yeah. He's actually from the TV show Robin by Magnus Carlson. It's super fucking cool.
holy shit it is
thats cute lmao
Thout that too
Cameron Stepler Yep.
I hope the fact that they made and posted a video for this song at this point in Thom's life means he's getting better.
We love you, Thom. Don't let the depression or the malaise of modern life take you. Don't let the awful thoughts and feelings that they engender take you. You can be content, you can live rather than kill time. So keep trying, and try the best you can. The best you can is good enough.
i like the integration of two lyrics into the comment
Thom's work has touched so many people profoundly positively.
Same.
I’m not Thom but this comment today was a very motivational message for me to keep trying and do my best
This applies to me and I thank you for writing it.
I’m obsessed with this song !
Next time I'm taking the bloody stairs!
At this point, Thom should just take the stairs
Tyus Southern lol
Tyus Southern if Thom ran down the stairs he'd beat the lift hehe that bring's my childhood memories back ☺
So what you're saying is he should walk down a staircase
Farewell Apollo magnetic pull
He already did in Daydreaming, he ended up in a cave. I think it's a bad idea.
Radiohead music videos are the right kind of weird.
And the songs are awesome.
Barry Benson Knives Out is my personal fav
3:38 The subtle "OK" flickering on the level screen. Amazing little detail.
What a cool video, a gift for Radiohead diehard fans! Loads of references to Thom's life and previous Radiohead music videos. Ones I picked out:
00:20 Dajana (his girlfriend) and Agnes (his daughter)
1:04 shopping trolley reference to Fake Plastic Trees video
1:17 trees crawling in corridor reference to There There video 2:53Robin from Paranoid Android video goldfish scene
2:57 dancers from Street Spirit music video
3:13 floor no. 3 girl in bed on wall reference to Climbing Up The Walls from album no.3
3:33 the lyrics " today is the first day of the rest of your days" , possible reference to fear of growing old (&bald!) looking back at his life etc.
May be reading too much into those but I'm sure there's loads more. Still trying to work out the significance of the bald estate agents (reference to Phil?!) and the old lady with the purple coat...
uberlover I thought they might be politicians "electioneering"
Anna Devito interesting theory, but they seem to be holding signs selling houses...
I don't think that lyric is specifically referring to ageing, considering the song is quite old itself
The guy in the suit that stays reminds me of the guy in the Just video
thanks
It's wierd seeing 2017 Thom but hearing 1994 Thom.
I like both Tom's :-)
Afizzi Ali
Yea, the recording is from the OK Computer sessions.
GrantBrenner Nope, from Bends sessions
Noah Talbott No, it's from OK Computer. It was written during the tour to promote The Bends in 1995, and played live in 1996.
Dan Abnormal One of their earliest demos according to the producer, likely not from OK Computer sessions

This song seems so ancient, yet perfect for its time. And it's always time for Radiohead.
Update: thank you for the likes and for reading, everyone. Cheers
Wolfdragon92584 it kind of is ancient. It was basically unused tracks for OK computer.
Radiohead is timeless
Interesting things I've noticed so far:
There a fake plastic tree on each floor.
On 3:33 the 01 floor number flickers briefly and changes to OK.
The guy on 2:52 resembles the Paranoid Android character. The fish bowl he's drinking out of is also a reference to the music video.
The 10th floor (2:20) kinda reminds me of the High and Dry music video, I could be wrong though. Same goes for the 11th floor.
I'll update more speculations when possible. Was there anything else I missed?
EDIT: So here's a little update of what other possible references I got based on the replies.
There's a shopping cart on 1:03, perhaps another possible reference to Fake Plastic Trees.
The bald men in suits on 1:38 could either be a reference to the Just music video. It could also be reference to the lyric "the yuppies networking" from Paranoid Android or the man in the suit from the music video. OR maybe there's a Phil Selway cosplay going on....
The old man on 2:35 highly resembles the guy from the Karma Police music video.
At 2:51, perhaps that's a reference to Kid A? Maybe that's too far fetched though...
At 2:57, the women kinda resemble the women from Street Spirit.
Someone mentioned a possible reference to No Surprises on 3:00, I'm assuming he/she is referring to the lighting? IMO, that seems too obscure. Surely they must be a better reference somewhere...
Also, anyone found any explanations to floors on 1:30, 3:11 and 3:26?
Nathaniel Torres Yeah, you missed something. Instead of saying "I could be wrong" you should have said "I Might Be Wrong"
I wasn't referencing that song, I was saying I could be incorrect about my speculation.
Nathaniel Torres I know, I just couldn't resist
LOL! It didn't even occur to me that you purposely mentioned another Radiohead song! Excuse me while I rethink my life...
At 2:20 reminds more to knives out don't know why
Love Radiohead…never heard this song before…what a gem
Without a doubt my favorite Radiohead song ever!
I love radiohead.

Every floor he stops seems metaphor about an unit of time (concept of a day etc ) and his feeling responds to that surrounding circumstances, which forms his life.

Radiohead is what my heart sounds like!! LOVE THIS BAND!!
What a great song, thanks for all the songs and memories boys. Your albums are the soundtrack to my life.
One of the best song and video ever made.
I have no words to describe how amazing this is
Mrs Me Covfefe
Genius!!!
i have 2... 'not very'
Mrs Me synonyms:astonishing, astounding, surprising, stunning, staggering, shocking, startling, stupefying, breathtaking
I'd describe it as delightfully surreal! I love that they've made surreal videos for all three of these finally released gems. Some of us have been waiting literally 20 years to hear these songs outside of poorly recorded live bootlegs. Lo and behold they are fantastic and all get the video treatment!
this is the summer that i graduate. 5 years of both torture and comforting struggle. if you told me 5 years ago that id have friends that care abt me and that we are doing the awesome shit that I dreamed abt? then i would of cried. each year some new shit has happened. ive had friends move in an out of my life. ive had family members die. ive been totally alone. i started on floor 11, now im on floor 16. there's been moments where my lift has been full of people. some where its been just a handful. even 6 months of pure and utter loneliness. stuck in a big moving metal box. but i told myself id make the most of it. id go along for the ride. make something of myself. thanks thom. this music video has put through me a whirl of thoughts. tonight. looking back on who i was, who ive become and who i will become. Today is the first day of the rest of my days
So lighten up, squirt.
just made me cry bro ;)
The elevators of life... 3:07 I think the effect that E major has on Radiohead's songs is incredible. And the bass is so present... My favorite chord. I Love this clip.💙 Definitely one of the best bands of all time.

александр джаков In the first comment we were talking about the damn song, not the video. Why wouldn't you call this fucking art? This song is pure art, everyone is free to take inspiration from other videos. Goddamn.
That moment between Thom and Agnes at the beginning makes me so happy
Words cant describe how much I love this song
that ending tripped me out
Gabriel Miranda when that second guy turned around I was like "wait...Thom couldn't have aged _that_ much during the video"
I really love this song, because it speaks to a feeling we all have, but can't quite put into words. That feeling when you finally see reality for what it is, after a long time of feeling disconnected from it. It's not necessarily happiness or sadness, its more base than that, and much more simple, but it feels good, better perhaps than any other feeling there is. Sometimes we all get stuck in a lift, and we're unaware of the people trying to reach us outside, desperately trying to connect. Its that moment of clarity, when you come to from all the bullshit, and 'come home' to reality.
Such a brilliant music video.
Amazing, thank you for bringing 2000-2004 back to me
After All these years Radiohead has never lost track of itself, still being deeply in what they really are. Probably the best band ever.
Timeless masterpieces...
Repect for making not disposable music.
Greetings from Senegal.
So much agreement going on here
Che Rif Kol got to go
lol "best band ever"
celtic9523 Yaah, according to me.
want me to say other bands that still sound the same? or do you want me to keep radiohead unique?
I love how relatable this video is. Thom looks like how I feel in situations like this, desperately trying to be part of something but always detached.
