Moment of silence for the people who only ever heard creep
Right on, man. All the best of The Sun readers.
Himmy Hon , poor them, I just glad to have witnessed this in my lifetime....
The poor bastards...
they have no idea what they're missing out on..
Yes! One must delve deep into the emotional, gut wrenching songs like Strange Fishes... In Rainbows was the 1 beautiful piece of auditory madness I had while I lived the winter of 2017 in my 20yr old Volvo with chemical induced days & nights
I am an actuary from Alaska. Every day, I compile statistics on swimming related fatalities in Bristol bay. Often my life seems like a monotone ferris wheel -- people enter and depart life in such calculable ways. I have become so comfortable in my routine that I neglect to remember what makes life unique. But when I listen to this song, I remember ice fishing with my dad, catching my first bluegill, and how wonderful childhood felt. Dad can't remember this anymore, but he always smiles when this song comes on. Thank you Radiohead.
🖤
good story🙏
❤️
I was just liking your comment....and then i saw your name.
isn't it wonderful how I, a person from Italy, can feel so relatable to a person from Alaska only because of a song? THIS SONG?
It’s always weird when you find a band where not the lyrics but the sound itself resonates with how you’ve been feeling.
Thank you for describing exactly how I feel about them
I’ve always been much more fond of instrumental bands, so it’s really satisfying to see people appreciative of instrumentals
It's a great thing tho...this song makes me feel like iam desperately.behind in things I should do. Lol
@@karlfritz47 I honestly had a similar reaction. I’m a musician and I would say my style is similar to the guitarist in radiohead, but I recently discovered them and they sound 1,000 years ahead of most bands out there.
That's always been me lol
I think I'm weird in thinking that a lot of Radiohead songs don't necessarily sound sad. They sound sad when you're sad and happy when you're happy imo, which is why they're one of my favorites
Ong so weird!!1
real
deep thoughts...
Minus the bear?
They're music has soo much range it can do that.
If you're sad, this song will make you even sadder, but then suddenly brings you a sense of happiness.
Like I found you
I'm right there right now
Facts
Yes last part of the song brings you hope
Radiohead summed up in a perfect sentence.
This is absolutely the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
Thank you obama, very cool!
Thank you Obama, very cool!

After looking at the lyrics deeply, I think I figured out what the video means, at least for me.
0:54 The stop motion characters were seeing are the "weird fishes". The lyrics are about a person who's lost faith in themselves. They feel as though they are "At the bottom of the sea". But then all of a sudden, a figure appears in their lives and rekindles the spark inside of their heart. "Your eyes, they turn me". The author asks themselves "Why should I stay here?" implying they'd be crazy not to follow this new person that has resurrected the life inside them 1:47. The wood statue with the skis is the protagonist who falls in love with this amazing figure.
However, we find out tragically that this newfound love was nothing but a fake promise and an illusion. The weird fishies end up betraying them, his soul reduced to a phantom, as the protagonist is led on by this fake plastic love. He follows them to the edge of the Earth and falls off after being abandonned because "Everybody leaves, if they get the chance". Having been betrayed, the main character is once again going through intense feelings of sadness and grief. Indeed, time and time again theyve let themselves been "Eaten by the worms and weird fishes" who attach themsleves on their head 3:17 , the worms and fishes symbolizing the people that have betrayed them in the past, and devoured their soul and life from the inside with their lies and broken promises.
The final lyrics conclude the story with a meaning that is extremely melancholic yet bittersweet at the same time, it perfectly captivates the human condition. No matter what tragic experiences we may endure in our lives, no matter how many people break our hearts, eventually we all hit the bottom and you can only go up from there. "Ill hit the bottom and escape" At 5:02 , the wood statue person rises slowly from the ground, you can see his heart has healed as a new head grows on top of the body with a little bird appearing inside, representing rebirth and life.
Bonus Easter Egg: Weird fishes = Feared wishes
Edit: I'm so happy this resonated with so many people. I recently got a job in Scotland, but it turned out to be a pyramid scheme, they lied to me about so many things. They made me move all the way from France and took advantage of my dream to live and work in the UK . Be careful for the weird fishes, they're everywhere! Stay safe ♥
amazing analysis, thanks!
Absolutely - this is definitely a song that resonates this entirely- probably why it resonates so much to me.
Niceeee ❤
Wow. I love this x
Thank you, that was a perfect analysis and i think it has such a beautiful meaning. Perfect comment with the minutes of the song
My son passed away two years ago... this song makes me think of him. I miss him quite a bit. Love you Isaac. See you in heaven one day...
Rest In Peace Isaac
Rest In Peace, Isaac
Rest in Peace Issac and Kai Turner from Battle Creek MI
Im sorry for your loss. I hope that sooner or later you will find joy in your life again, as im sure that this ist what your son would want for you.
Hope you are doing well
I swear this song heals me from all the shit I've been through in my f*cked up life. Radiohead is like a hug from a friend conforting you.
It's useful because I dont have any friends
I wanna hug you
@@AG-lm5uf bro. Stop
Your so God danm right....its like a hug from your very best friend ..the friend you never met but you just know its your best friend ...perfect reference

I will never find another band like this
I too

Does anybody else think this is their best song? My god, it's absolutely incredible.
I keep coming back to it wondering how on earth they managed to create something so perfect
Was very tight but frankly it's #2, just behind HTDC.
Yes yes yes
yes.

[Verse 1]
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
[Verse 2]
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms (Way out)
I follow to the edge (Way Out)
Of the earth (Way out)
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves (Way out)
If they get the chance (Way out)
And this (Way Out)
Is my chance
[Verse 3]
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
[Outro]
Yeah I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape, escape
And I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape, escape
Thank u!
He clearly says “eeeeeeeeed” not way out.
@@musicalman1995 lmao 😂😆😁
Not outro. I think it's a song that called "Arpeggi"
Its all verse
The bass line on this song is pure genius.
Hell the drums are so good for the atmosphere
Everything contributes to the perfection of this song. If any of the elements were missing then we'd have an empty song
this song makes me less afraid of dying. it makes me think of going back to the earth and providing nourishment for new life. one die i'll die, but i won't really end.
Your helium atoms will float into space. Most of them will probably end up in the sun, but some will escape into deep space and will more or less be eternal.👍
That sounds a nice way to end @@tefalhead7396
I like that notion.
In rainbows doesn’t have a single song you can skip it’s a masterpiece
i skip faust arp but thats probaly just me
wakey wakey rise and shine😪

I like to smoke my Radiohead while I listen to my weed.
Deep you messed my mind up for min glad i.wasnt high lol.
Very original.
😁😁😁😁
bruh moment
Amen, brother peace.
In Rainbows is my favorite album. I know most people will say either OK Computer or Kid A, but this whole album is so soothing and takes me to a beautiful place. So many beautiful songs like this one on that album.
I'm with you. There is something so elegant and pleasing about this album, it's undoubtedly special.
Same here. It's probably my favorite album of all time. I really liked A Moon Shaped Pool because it felt like a much more melancholy version of this album, while still being tonally different.
Bardia Harsini True.This is more laid back and peaceful. But I prefer when they are being more intense or innovative like on OK Computer and Hail To The Thief. But I love AMSP too.
Bardia Harsini it's my favorite too!
it's my favorite too :) 💜
It's april 1 2024, I'm strolling on Tokyo streets full of sakura bloom. Relistening to this amazing song. I always take it with me to all the memorable moments of my life. I remember how one night I put it on while being together with friends and the night turned into a live guitar session. Best!
This is insanely beautiful,it captures every mood, life is f**ked, then this pulls you back into some sense of beautifulness.

That’s tight you clevahh Boy
One of those rare songs that sounds just as good as the very first time you ever heard it. And I have no idea why.
Exactly it's amazing
I experienced it in a slightly different way; this song was interesting from the very first moment, but it grows better and better over time^^ like 80% of their songs
@@leehiro4840 same way. I first head smooth mcgrooves cover of it and eventually listened to this for the first time last year. It keeps getting better each time I listen to it.
It's my favorite radiohead song
@@tommygardner2071 ppq1q11p
one of the most beautiful songs i've heard by far
how do you even make such a masterpiece
When my dad died in 2019 9 days before his 58th bday I put this song on a 72 hour loop while laying in bed crying. He was my hero and everything I am today is because of his influence. He was a painter and spent his life’s work painting the most beautiful sceneries. I keep some of his work as a memory. The best one is him and I fishing on a old pier that has now been demolished. This song will always hold a special place in my heart for my dad..
🤍🌿⭐️
Peace be with you friend
❤
This makes me feel whole. My brother passed in September and this song has been everything to me ❤️
Im sorry for your loss.. he's in a better place now❤
2:16-2:58 Those simple cries that Ed sings as backing give me goosebumps every time.
you mean the part were Ed is singing EEEEeeeed EEEEEeeeed 😁
One of my favourite parts!
‘Waaaaaaay ouuuuuutttt’
eeeeeeeeeeeeed….…
That man has too much of everything. Hes like an even hotter Ben Affleck and a major driving force behind one of the greatest bands of all time. Life truly isnt fair lol.

Witty comment guy, meet literal interpretation guy
Radiohead didn't do it.
Best comment so far
I've never heard this song. Stayed away from radio head because I was too cool and unique to be listening to such a well known band.
This song just changed my life
How im feeling rn
There can only be world peace when the entire world realizes it is not too cool for Radiohead 🤙
they really aren't too big of a band until you know of them. they are also incredibly unique so u don't need to worry about that. for example, KID A is one of the most unique albums ever created.
"such a well known band" sounds so foreign for me as a 22 year old guy in Poland. You are by all means right, though no one here listens to them so for me they are a rarity of sorts

Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Been obsessed with this song for 48h straight, and I cannot stop listening to it. It creates a magic feeling that punches my soul and makes me cry of happiness/sadness/weird nostalgia. In some way it feels like it was written for me to hear it, as it goes directly into the deepest parts of my heart. It's incredible what music is able to achieve, so similar to travel without moving to any other place. I'll be forever in debt with Radiohead for creating this

@@RaquelOnlyyyy Pay no attention. You're too human for him. For them. Those that from birth to death are only ever half humans. Utterly unrealised. They dismiss you because you think and live in color. But they can only comprehend in hues of grey. Show them compassion and empathy. But for god sake, pay absolutely no attention to them.

Radiohead forever, papa.
I remember you putting the disc in the car, looking at me with a proud smile saying “you’ll have the same music taste as me my little girl”.
And it worked dad.
It worked.
If only you were here to see it.
i hope you are okay! your father would surely be proud
@@moleon1682 thank you
This breaks me. I hope you’re okay now. Your dad must be so proud and happy for you ❤️
He is there in your heart so he definitely sees it
i want to cuddle with you and listen to radiohead.
Truly, the most bonkers video you could create for a song but, this is Radiohead. The creator of the video deserves so much, maybe a lifetime supply of 'mushrooms'.....
This is one of the best songs of all time period
👍❤
How can such a song be So Depressing and Uplifting at the same time?
That’s Radiohead in a nutshell
that's art, like kafka a book shouldn't be about ''making us happy'', as then we could just write such books ourselves
Good art, whether sad or happy can inspire and raise your spirit because of its pure wholesome human/emotional beauty.
That’s just life, man. I like to say that Radiohead is like music for a lifetime. Like footage of the Earth from space.
The reason it comforts you is because you are human. ❤
@@wrongangle4881 perfect response
I was mesmerized by the whole video, but I pray to god that those things were burned immediately after they finished. Just imagining those things sitting in some abandoned warehouse with other oddities gives me chills.
You're not welcome to set foot here in Australia.
You don't have to worry about them being in a warehouse. The video tells us: They're at the bottom of some lake...waiting...

@@bradley364 Thats even worse
And here we are, 14 yrs later, still loving this song.
What a masterpiece
im bawling my eyes out uncontrollably
Real
I've been crying for 3 months now listening to Radiohead and i don't know what it is triggering
I listened to one of their older songs the other day and outta nowhere felt this super dark deep sadness for the first time in years and had to immediately switch the song.
@@masterninja9716 what song? please tell me
Let that shit out, bottled up it will start doing damage at some point
I always thought the song was about a broken human being, at the lowest point in their life as stated by “bottom of the sea”, realizing they deserve better saying “why should I stay?”. Finding a toxic lover and chasing them like a fish chasing a lure, hence the person is a “weird fish” knowing they have the opportunity to get this broken promise, all that person was, was bait. Chasing the bait to “the edge of the world”. That ultimately always led to them not getting caught. The saddest part is they know what happens, they’ve seen this before as they say “everybody leaves if they get the chance”. They’ve been baited before. Yet they still turn it around and say “this is my chance”, knowing that this person is just gonna gut them or throw them back to the bottom, because they don’t want the weird fish. Hence they’re left at the bottom to get “eaten by the worms”
That is a really good way of looking at it
It's actually about weird fishes and whale falls in the deep ocean.
How when a whale dies, a whole ecosystem comes to life on it's remains.
These biological communities cannot exist until the death of a whale.
There is a strange metaphor here that I suppose you could relate to the human condition but it's really a literal song. Thom also wrote songs for "Blue Planet 2", the BBC documentary about the ocean, narrated by David Attenborough.
The ocean obviously gives him great inspiration.
@@graphite2786 i love the comments section =)
Well it’s not
and after "they hit the bottom"..... *suicide...... * "escape"
One of the best Radiohead songs, I feel sorry for those who still don't listen to it

@@bilalallash3905 that's their worst? way worse than any single radiohead has produced lmao
"Creep" is one of the worst. Maybe it's not the worst, but it's much more popular than it deserves.
I found this song over half a year ago while looking for peaceful music they used to play at work, I got here not knowing what to expect, and I found my new favorite song.
Months after that, it is my son's favorite song too, and he's just 1 year old! Every time he hears the first two seconds he starts dancing along with the song, it's simply amazing, thank you, Radiohead for this song

Looks like a Tool video that was shelved because it was too optimistic.

@@mr.birbman4853 best band of all time. Radiohead are in my top 6 all time bands too.
This song had me crying with love for my father on my ride home from seeing him lying helpless on a hospital bed a week before he died of cancer.

For whatever reason this song makes me think of someone I lost who I'll always think about too. More than once tears have exploded from my eyes listening to this song
724Mouse I’m so sorry. Your father will keep staying in your heart every time you listen this song
Hopefully you have recovered from your loss, this song has always had a sense of ethereal optimism to it. May your father be well in heaven where all music legends end up.
sorry

sitting here wondering how people can make something this good. like jesus christ man this song gives me goosebumps everytime, and it never gets old
Absolutely, i have the same feelings when listening to this song. (And many other Radiohead songs as well)
I have been absolutely obsessed with this song for the past week
+Robert Piwonka me too cause the new album is nothing in the contrast with this song

I could listen to this song forever and never get bored. Matter of fact I do for a week now after going through a lot 😅
You feel sad, listen to Radiohead, and feel seen, which makes you happy.
The first time I heard this song I was on a bus trip looking out the window. I had an out of body experience which I am reminded of every time I listen to it.

@@amirdada5700 Amir , thanks for your reply. So glad you had a similar experience. Radiohead for life man.
That reminds me of an experience I had while listening to How to Disappear Completely. I was looking out the window of my car when I was leaving the hospital where my mom was getting ready to pass away. It was snowy and the moon shown on the snow and I missed her so much knowing she would be gone soon.

I agree.. it's a masterpiece
its honestly bringing nostalgia. i miss being a kid, i miss not having to hear my parents argue every single day, i miss considering two problems hard for math, i miss the relationship i had with my family, i miss talking with dolls, i miss waking up and seeing teletubbies on my tv, or being excited for new winx seasons, and i miss being excited for being alive, seeing so much adventures in front of my eyes. i grew up too fast and had to realize the world is not how it looked as a kid. i just wish i had more time, nothing more.

When she passed I found this song. She never heard it but didn’t need to. She lived it. When you don’t need a drug, a drink. You just sit and know.
And now she’s truly free.
You don't have to understand the song, you just have to trust it and feel it and let yourself be taken by it.
Yes
I honestly think this is the greatest song of the 21st century. Its just perfection, that mellow guitar lick, the understated yet layered rhythm section, the beautiful soaring vocals from Thom, the chilled break and the dark and haunting sounding climax. I’ve never heard a song that makes me as cathartic yet emotional as this masterpiece

There’s something addicting about that intro.
If this song was stuck on the repeat in my ears for the rest of my life I would be ok with it.

das ist gut (:
I feel so much so much desperation in this song. The feeling of longing that drive one so crazy that it will drive you to chase something or someone, even though you know it will crush you when the bubble bursts in front of you. That is what I feel about this song.
Nice words, well said.
I feel so lost, sending messages to people that won’t respond, and giving myself to position that holds no meaning, we’re just a bunch of systems of molecules floating around causentually
@@fanthonyman2140 Our positions may have no obvious meaning it is up to us to apply to purpose in our lives and find the meaning . Someone out there loves you man

Thom's voice has that yearning quality...glorious.
This touches something in my soul, can't explain it - just stirs up magic
one of my all-time favorite pieces of animation. brilliant.
just realized listening to this on lsd that even in the - dark, drowning, sad, ugly, weird - theyre having fun and contemplating the beauty of life like it was their first time.
so beautiful.
Good way to see it. I agree!
Not a great video to watch on lsd though
with the effect everything is wonderful
This song never fails to give me this weird feeling that I can’t explain. It’s like it touches your soul
BRO FOR FOREAL!! It’s nostalgic in a way!
4:10 - 5:00
literally i can feel it going through me every time i listen to it
There's something so beautiful about these odd creatures. Despite them not uttering a single word, the video does a great job at humanising them. Sure theyre weird and creepy in their own way, but everybody deserves love.
Awesome animation
Who needs drugs when you have radiohead to take you to another dimenssion?
Try combining both :)))
Lmao XD
Marcos Bulacio I feel like that'll either fuck you up severely or make your experience better 😂😂

Acid and this song are mindbending.
There is something about this band that has always intrigued me, but only recently has it really "clicked" for me, and I have missed the feeling of enjoying something so whole heartedly you can barely contain yourself. This has invited a beauty into my life that I have been searching for. This has made me grateful to exist on this Earth. This has restored a bursting vibrance and delicate softness to my soul.
Same haha grateful to exist on earth because of them and only for them. Their music can bring me to some other dimension that my inner self could only comprehend
@@nickcauilan6408 I know exactly what you mean friend.
Similar for me. I've liked some songs from them for years, but earlier this year it all just clicked and I became an obsessive superfan, listening almost exclusively to Radiohead for months lol. I love that feeling. Same thing happened with the Beatles a couple years ago.
Someone is cutting onions. Thanks
That was simply a lovely thing to leave, for others to find and be moved by.
"This has restored a bursting vibrance and delicate softness to my soul."
That is gorgeous.
The best part of Weird Fishes is when you realize that you are no longer in the real world but on an existential plane that makes you realize everything and feel that you are in a dark paradise while watching this video clip knowing that it is the most beautiful you see... or maybe I just overrate In Rainbows idk
My 🥺sleep paralysis demons🥺 running back home all happy to meet me.
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Yeah I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
And I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
.
I'm listening to Radiohead right now on Christmas day 2020.
I was too lol
that was me too, I got broken up with on Christmas
God I love them so much
@@jacqueline5309 I’m sorry to hear that
@@jacqueline5309 im too
Such a beautiful song.
this happened to my buddy eric. he got eaten by worms and weird fishes.
This actually could be my favorite Radiohead song of all
Taylor Weldon It's mine too.
I feel that
Its definitely in my top five
yep, top three for me
Concepts like 'favourites ' is soooo grade school... Grow up.
This song is so atmospheric that it literally transports me to a completely new place. The first part of the song makes me feel like I am floating in the center of an infinite ocean, surrounded by powerful swirling currents and glowing fishes that swim beautifully. As these events occur, I simultaneously feel a deep inner pain that makes me crawl into a ball to compress a feeling of unimaginable loneliness, but to feel an incredible feeling of freedom. In complete contrast, the second part of the track surrounds me in blurry images of chaos and disorder, filth and violence, that flash and tug on me. What's even stranger is that the song makes me feel completely dissociated from this chaos, it makes me feel unfazed and powerful.
When the world around you flows beautifully, you hurt.
When the world around you seems to spiral in chaos, you're unaffected.
This song is so poetic it hurts.
Exactly. Thank you for this beautiful comment.
I don't always listen to fishes, but when I do, they're weird ones.
For some reason the melody and the video bring me a strong feeling of nostalgia, specifically in the 2000s, it's something magical that I can't describe, I seriously love this band and this song too much.
this is literally the best song ever made fight me
facts
what about radio head creep
@@arisrichardson7528 I’m assuming you’re joking but tbf it is still a good song.
How about Jigsaw?
I totally agree.
I love the fact that this artist represented weird fishes with a movement animation, I always felt it the same way, travelling by bike across the country
What an intellectual way of thinking about that. I know that sounds silly but like not many people think of that correlation between music and the perfect visual accompaniment and I just appreciate that you appreciate that.
Nice observation
I dont get it
i think this song is the best of radiohead
I can’t stress enough how beautiful this song is. That subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark.
