The song: beautiful, BUT I can't stop laughing at the idea of the poster thinking about visuals and going "an assortment of classic clowns with a vintage vignette, and screw it, I'll throw in Pennywise while I'm at it!"
Wow, having never heard this version before I don’t think I’d ever truly appreciated the emotional depth behind Nude. I had just assumed it was a beautiful song about wanting something back that you used to have, but this version seems more about NOT wanting something any more, but realising that throwing it away will only make you a fool as you will then long for it back.
This was the only version I knew until recently. I Always loved this song that they wrote around/following OKC, and I think you’re right on with your take. In Meeting People is Easy, Thom is talking about how they assumed critics would hate OKC, to their surprise, the critics loved it. He says, “but then…” and it cuts off for the louder (for lack of a better word) section of Big Ideas. Which I think is exactly what you’re saying
Although the In Rainbows one has a special place in my heart and is definitely the superior of the two, I just love the crazy intensity of this version
I also prefer IR version. Much more distinguished, much more emotions, simply a step ahead. Also: "She stands stark naked and she beckons you to bed, don't go, you'll only want to come back again" is just weird, doesn't fit the song at all. imo.
I think the original intentions of the song were different. The line forced the song to be sexual while on IR it was more innocuous, leaving it to the listener to determine the theme.
I’d like to see an album of alternate versions revisited... a big (and longer, more lyrics) *Big Ideas,* a high energy *Videotape* (like the live cuts but done well in studio) and other tunes...
Ironically Jonny didn't play a single note in this version, it's a fan made version by Pawel Osmolski, who took Thom's voice and guitar, and filled all the gaps with what we knew about the song arrangement back then (mid 00's)
They "Kid A'd" this version of the song...stripped it down to the bare bones. Which I think was a good thing. This version has a lot going on--and though good--the In Rainbows version really emphasizes Yorke's singing and the bass/rhythm drive that the band now swears by.
Jonny shines so much more than thom in this and it's the reverse on the studio track with his haunting echoes. Shows how much as a unit they all work together.
@@skywipe1949 how ? He sings better, the guitar is subtler, they threw away the shitty stuff and added the best bassline ever and the choirs. The end fits better in the studio version too
@@maximelaffitte1880 I think he sings far better here, I like how the guitar is more prominent here and it helps drive the song, as for "shitty stuff" I'm assuming you mean the extra verse, the organ and glockenspiel and stuff? I think that all that works really well and without it everything sounds so empty. I think the bassline is better in this version and I don't like the choirs. The ending of this version is infinitely better. I love the distortion and the solo. It's a great crescendo and it has so much impact. It just kind of fizzles out in the album version. I don't know what they were thinking with this song. They gutted it and now it's just a hollow void of what was once a great song. I don't think this is the only song they've fucked up like that either. Nude just seems unremarkable to me. Doesn't effect me emotionally either whereas this one definitely can, especially the acoustic one. If you like Nude better then that's ok I guess, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I think there's absolutely no comparison.
This song reminds me of one of the most cosy times I had on my previous school. Me and my friend was sitting in the art room, creating a treasure hunt for the school together... It became a little boring though so after a while we were just surfing the web on our computers, and stuff. We didn't talk much, but the atmosphere was just really nice and cosy, and the time was getting later and later, and we just sat there until 2 o' clock in the night or something! :-P We had music playing in the background from her iPad, and this was one of the songs from her playlist. I only know this song because she told me about the lyrics "don't get any, big ideas, they're not gonna happen" and how she liked the words. For some reason, I wanted to look up the song again, and learn to play it on the piano. That's where I figured out how lovely peaceful this song is to sit and listen to, and especially play on the piano! Yeah, it's pretty depressing, but still peaceful! Thanks for sharing this song with me, Emma, you have a good taste in music! :-)
I am too used to this version so I like it better than the in rainbows one. I think this really captures what depression, rejection and disappointment feels like. this is one of my all time favorite songs from Radiohead
Alexis this one gives you a more uneasy feeling and really impacts you, while nice is more calm but melancholic. Each one gives you a different feeling so I like the two versions the same
They didn't like this one, they decided to release it when Colin wrote a new bassline and Jonny wrote the strings arrangements during the In Rainbows sessions.
@@wilberts.cubero3629 I can see why. This is a beautiful version that I come back to, but honestly feels more 'B-side which is a beautiful cult classic' vibe than a single, had they published this version.
I absurdly adore this version. Has anyone heard of the Ok Computer/In Rainbows 1001 theory that the two albums are linked together and that the two albums are meant to be one long album? It's a fantastic little read if anyone Googles it.
As in back to back? That wouldn't be right. If the order of the songs are messed with a bit, then it might, just might make sense, but I don't think their meant to be that way.
prefer this version due to the fat they cut the best lyric verse on the ALbum version. The "she stands there naked and beacons you to bed..." etc. shows that it is about a man who cheated and feels guilty about it. It's more esoteric on the album version, which makes it more subtle, but it feels like it lost the theme to me.
Don't get any big ideas They're not going to happen You paint yourself white and feel the noise But there'll be something missing And now that you found it, it's gone Now that you feel it, you don't You've gone off the rails She stands stark naked and she beckons you to bed Don't go, you'll only want to come back again So don't get any big ideas They're not going to happen You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking And now that you found it, it's gone And now that you feel it, you don't You've gone off the rails
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this to download (and no, not this RUclips vid, because it'll be compressed and bastardized compared to whatever the original upload was). Apparently this is a fan-made mix by Pawel Osmolski, but it's not on his website or SoundCloud page. Perhaps he deleted it from his own platforms.
La genialidad de Radiohead está en esto, este tema en sus fundamentales, es un tema con acordes y melodía como todos. Ellos aquí lo hicieron al estilo "Pink Floyd" como dicen, y en serio es verdad, pero luego al traerlo a In Rainbows, es el mismo tema, la misma armonía y melodía, pero los arreglos le dan el sello único de Radiohead (el bajo predominante, la voz de Thom desgarradora, que en los conciertos nos deja paralizados, la guitarra de Jonny) ES OTRO TEMA el del In Rainbows.
This song is so peaceful and calming to listen to when you're sad and lost all hope of something you wanted! The lyrics are so true! Emma, you're probably not going to see this comment, but thanks for putting this song on that evening in the art room! It's now on my playlist on my computer! -Z
@SoundLoudBand This song was composed in 1997, and performed a few times live but never included in any album. Before In Rainbows was released the song didn't have a name so the fans named it "Big ideas (Don't get any)" (:
@jeronimoringo I know it's the same song but the arrangement here with the glockenspeil rather than Thom's voice for the melody during the "Now that you feel it... it's gone" part is SO MUCH BETTER. When the track listing for In Rainbows came out I was so excited to have this song on it but they ruined it.
they are humans just as ourselves, just haunted with the responsibility to make everyone else happy, some turn sad, others evil.... must be hard being a clown, they have to experience horror as a numb substance and move on, its what makes them so interesting.
No. The song from In Rainbows is called Nude. At this time in the song's life, it was called Big Ideas (Don't Get Any), which was probably back in 1997 or something.
cmontheplane Actually, I think this is really Radiohead (instruments and all). If you listen to a live version of Big Ideas/Nude from circa 1998 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the instrumentation is virtually the same - electric guitar, Fender Rhodes, organ, bass, drums, and glockenspiel. It's not the same performance, but they sound too similar to one another to suggest that this was a remix. My guess is this version is another live edit with crowd noise conveniently mixed out.
@@mywhychromosome nah, definitely not. thom sounds much younger here than he does on the in rainbows version. harsher, more nasally, louder, probably just an ok computer tour bootleg
@@mywhychromosome they'd need to have done a fantastic job isolating the vocal then. I'm an audio engineer by trade and that'd be the cleanest vocal isolation I've ever heard. i'd be more inclined to think this is one of the early ok computer tour performances, they were using this arrangement at the time so imo it wouldn't make much sense to take the vocal and recreate the rest. just my take, anyway
This is a fan made recreation of a hypothetical studio version based on the early live versions made using an acoustic performance Thom did. The guy who did it (can’t remember his name at the moment) has done this with a ton of other Radiohead songs, including Follow Me Around and Videotape. He’s just so good at it that it sounds like the band could have recorded this. EDIT: his name is Pawel Osmolski. And he didn’t isolate the vocal, he just took the high quality acoustic solo performance Thom did and added to it.
Yeah!!! I was thinking the exact same thing. Thankfully not the only one who sees this. This version of this song could easily be on 'Dog Man Star'. Even the images used in this video are very dog-man-star-esque. That kind of black and white, 1920s vibe. And that guitar at the ending! Did Bernard Butler play that, or what?! Lol. This version is cool, the In Rainbows one is also cool and has a better beginning. It's all good. Great song.
I saw like 3 seconds of a similar version from the film "Meeting People Is Easy" ten or so years ago. But the Nude version from In Rainbows is so, so, soooooooo much creamier and just dripping. But of course, I dig this version for sure, it's Radiohead afterall.
+Straight Quavers I never compared these things. I used rape, murder and terrorism to show how ridiculous this whole "you can ignore it if you don't like it" attitude.
For those old fans that heard this on MPIE this is a gem. This is what it would have sounded like if it had been on OKC. Still even after hearing it back in the late 90's the In Rainbows version is much better. Best modern band hands down. Thom is the best artist alive.
The version released on the album is wretched. This song is so beautiful when they do it right. The reason I have such a love/hate relationship with radiohead is the write these amazing songs like this one, follow me around, and (especially) Big Boots and then never release them!
oh my bad. this wasn't on an album. from the sound of it i think it might have been an early studio demo or perhaps a live version. either way this version wasn't released officially.
I prefer the original because it sounds sadder and more gloomy. Sad songs for me are the most beautiful. This version heads to a more rock version of it. Its still a great tune. Love them both.
This version isn't actually Radiohead, it's a guy who made the mix based off of a few Radiohead recordings, along with a live track of Thom's vocal. But it's as close to how a real 1990's version of this in the studio would sound.
How did you mix this? Did you record the original version's parts yourself and splice in Thom's vocals? It's clear that the vocals and the background music are from radically different audio-quality sources? If you did this yourself, kudos! You nailed it!
I think I recognize the vocals from some early acoustic version(s) it was definitely extended a bit. There was definitely a lot of passion in those that didn't make the final cut so I can understand that decision not sure where the glockenspiel, the organ, and the guitar in the outro came from (idk maybe this dude played it himself oknotok wasn't out yet) but the acoustic guitar is still audible from the source material. It was 2009ish so there weren't as many well documented early demos kicking around but what we did have was the album version, scattered live recordings and scotch mist and those five isolated tracks that were on iTunes
The song: beautiful, BUT I can't stop laughing at the idea of the poster thinking about visuals and going "an assortment of classic clowns with a vintage vignette, and screw it, I'll throw in Pennywise while I'm at it!"
I always think about clowns when i listen to nude now...😅 This Is kinda iconic

The ending of this song is absolutely phenomenal in this version. Jonny's work is wonderful.
This is an 8 year old comment but in early versions of this song Ed played the guitar in the ending. Johnny was on that organ
@@LongSinceDead1 Yeah, those guitar chords sound like Ed for sure to me.
Ironically Jonny didn't play a single note in this version, it's a fan made version by Pawel Osmolski, who took Thom's voice and guitar, and filled all the gaps with what we knew about the song arrangement back then (mid 00's)
The fact that a mix like this exists and evokes such positive reaction, interpretation and emotion is such a testament to Radiohead.
They "Kid A'd" this version of the song...stripped it down to the bare bones. Which I think was a good thing. This version has a lot going on--and though good--the In Rainbows version really emphasizes Yorke's singing and the bass/rhythm drive that the band now swears by.
The organ in this version reminds me a little of A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum.

They used to perform this version live back in the late 90s, but didn't really find a place for it on one of their album until In Rainbows.
The drum part is a very basic 6/8 ballad and so is the drum part of Shine on you crazy diamond.

For those old fans that heard this on MPIE this is a gem. This is what it would have sounded like if it had been on OKC. Still even after hearing it back in the late 90's the In Rainbows version is much better. Best modern band hands down. Thom is the best artist alive.
That was the first thing I thought as well!
This fits on OK Computer perfectly between Fitter Happier and Electioneering.
lovely version❤
The version released on the album is wretched. This song is so beautiful when they do it right. The reason I have such a love/hate relationship with radiohead is the write these amazing songs like this one, follow me around, and (especially) Big Boots and then never release them!
I bet you're pretty happy now lol
Now you got all 3 of them
Big Boots turned out freaking awesome.
this feels like an OKC b side track
un hombre escucha demos de radiohead
This is probably my favorite version of the song but what's the deal with the clowns?
Oh yeah baby
@HeraldBoon you know that this song is basically the same like "nude" on "In Rainbows", do you?
La canción habla de lo que cada uno interprete. pero si, los payasos desentonan.
+Chak Silva Attack yo nunca eh logrado entender el ingles en las canciones.. NUNCA
Love this so. Reminds me of a video game theme.
at last!!! first heard it in "meeting people is easy". I was a little desappointed with the nude version. thanks a lot, really!
4:32 sounds like a section from 'no surprises' :)
Have u seen the It movie ? thi's could be my answer to ya.
la mejor version que e escuchado es esta
Is this version on any cd to find???
oh my bad. this wasn't on an album. from the sound of it i think it might have been an early studio demo or perhaps a live version. either way this version wasn't released officially.
I prefer the original because it sounds sadder and more gloomy. Sad songs for me are the most beautiful. This version heads to a more rock version of it. Its still a great tune. Love them both.
in 1998, live in san francisco an awesome bootleg
This version isn't actually Radiohead, it's a guy who made the mix based off of a few Radiohead recordings, along with a live track of Thom's vocal. But it's as close to how a real 1990's version of this in the studio would sound.
Is this true?
How did you mix this? Did you record the original version's parts yourself and splice in Thom's vocals? It's clear that the vocals and the background music are from radically different audio-quality sources? If you did this yourself, kudos! You nailed it!
I think I recognize the vocals from some early acoustic version(s) it was definitely extended a bit. There was definitely a lot of passion in those that didn't make the final cut so I can understand that decision not sure where the glockenspiel, the organ, and the guitar in the outro came from (idk maybe this dude played it himself oknotok wasn't out yet) but the acoustic guitar is still audible from the source material. It was 2009ish so there weren't as many well documented early demos kicking around but what we did have was the album version, scattered live recordings and scotch mist and those five isolated tracks that were on iTunes
Then again I didn't make this
This version is sadder than the album version in my opinion. It sounds melancholic and desperate. Whereas the album version sounds more chill
