No audience will ever give you a more genuine and honest reaction than a room full of kids. Seems to have gone down well with them (more or less lol). A huge compliment!
3:34 encapsulates all of the kids in one. I have no idea if that kid in the purple sweater is grooving or bored out of his mind. This is such a fun video.
Even if the melody is childish, it’s really hard to follow, specially for a kid. It definitely took them out of their comfort zone. It made them feel like there is more than just what they know. Sone of them were so attentive, or deep in their minds 😊 such a weird and beautiful idea for a video!
I'm almost 50 and I've been wanting to see these guys ever since The Bends came out back when I was 17 years old....and these little brats get a concert before 4th Grade.
I love how the kids reactions range from confused to.. mildly amused to.. bored to.. “I like lights!!” I feel like a lot of other bands would only go for this idea if the kids were somehow forced to look enthusiastic about their music. But this isn’t just any band.. directed by just any director.
It works for this song which has such a push/pull between catchy and somewhat deliberately flat and tuneless stretches. It’s the Smile’s way of showing “yeah, we know this section is less immediately fun than that section. So what?”
I feel like the overall audience in concerts today behave somewhat like these children. They expect to be excited in every single song, they need shinny things and climaxes to feel something, or they get bored.
Well, they don't have much choice, don't they? They can't just leave if they didn't like it. It's not some kid birthday party, they were forced to be there
(I don't understand Spanish, I used Google Translate) Todavía no he visto en vivo a Radiohead, Thom o Atoms for Peace, pero logré conseguir entradas para verlos en Europa. 🤘 No soy joven, pero estoy agradecido de poder tener esta experiencia.

To have the moment on stage, wicked and sick ritual must be performed. They are masons in masonry. Nothing`s real, only illusions. They have it harder , to give their soul over to CHRIST and return back HEAVEN (Luke 18:25 KJV and Mark 10:25 KJV) true Christians are born again = new creatures in CHRIST, able to no longer sin and able to understand GOD perfectly.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
What's gonna be even more mind blowing is how they took this performance for granted. I don't know if the instructor made them look bored, but I imagine I'd find this sort of music boring at their age, too.
Honestly, it's an interesting experiment since the children can't lie. Obviously it's not a music for children, but when the lights turn on, they look happy. Maybe the message here is: "We're all children and we get so excited about superficial things that we don't pay attention to the most important things."
the lyrics are refering to the pandemic and also the fact that we had to use zoom video all the time....only seen from the waist down....adding sparkles for the right effect....always looking over peoples shoulders to see what kinda room they have....having to go out on balconies to say hello and catch a piece of sun (geeses song) etc... but my point is thom is a genius and im sure you knew this already
I heard the full album last Tuesday at the Wall Of Eyes On Film-event in Amsterdam and I won't spoil anything, except to say that it was a blissful experience that I enjoyed very very much. Very. This video is a gem btw. And funny! Thom is such a happy camper now. Who would've thought, 25 years ago. Hurray for old age. And psychedelics.
I agree, but I would be careful about giving psychedelics the credit for a growth a person experiences. Psychedelics can help for sure in the right context, but there's also great risks to any mind altering substances. From what I've read in interviews, Radiohead are on record for saying they don't dabble in drugs (aside from the occasional drink and pot). I would credit mindfulness meditation before psychedelics. All that being said, it's very nice to see Thom has found some peace and appears much more at ease and happy these days.

This is what I’d imagine The Beatles might sound like if they were around today. Almost sounds like a modern day Sgt Peppers song. Yet uniquely its own. It’s incredible that Thom Yorke is making music like this at 55. So inspiring. The GOAT!
The part with the delay flutter on Thom's voice at around 4:55 with the kid looking like he's melting is absolute perfection, as is pretty much all of this stuff. Phenomenal
I already can't wait to see the future comments from some of the kids in the video like "I was there. I didn't really know how precious the moment was."
It’s especially impressive in his case, because of his range, how long he’s been touring, and the length of his shows. It would blow my mind listening to Thom sing Nude pitch perfect like 2 hours into a show. One of the most gifted musicians ever.
So simple and so beautiful to watch. The idea of including the kids and then capturing their raw reactions is pretty brilliant. I loved it. Paul Thomas Anderson is the master.
As a primary school teacher, all of these facial expressions and involuntary movements are deeply familiar to me. In a way, being oneself in front of a class feels very similar to performing a song that's way over their heads. Then again, if the younger generations aren't our true ‘audience’, who is?
Not only is this a great song, but the video really moved me - seeing all those children react to the music in such an authentic way, wow! Kinda reminded me of the first time I listened to In Rainbows, I was a teenager at that time, but I still remember all the complex emotions it brought up in me.
@@Godspleen oh sorry, I think I misunderstood your question.. so my answer was about the Friend of a Friend music video. The screening event wasn't a single film, it was a combo of a bunch of things - some exclusive behind the scenes footage (no audio), of the recording process, full album playback in surround sound, the premiere of the video for Friend of a Friend, and screening of a few other pta x radiohead/thom collabs, including Anima.
@@grapegirl No my question was about the Friend of a Friend video don't worry! But that must have been a great night in this London theater - lucky indeed...
This video really hit me hard. Children are so impressionable. They are the future. Let’s allow them to blossom in a healthy world. Let’s do our part, our very best to make sure these children have a bright and loving future. To be themselves and accepted fully.
You do your part by living closely with your people, and allowing your children to blossom from that kind of an environment. The constant search for the self is an abyss. We don’t choose our own names but we recall them with near perfect precision when they are uttered.

Absolutely love this song. I couldn’t work out how this song sounded familiar but I have just now. Dare I say it ? Thom sounds almost Beatles like. And the film clip is so addicted. Watching those kids faces. Do they even realise, that they’ve just witnessed musical geniuses at work? 😂
Lyrics: I can go anywhere that I want I just got to turn myself inside out and back to front With cut-out shapes and worn-out spaces Add some sparkles to create the right effect And they're all smiling, so I guess I'll stay At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away Buried from the waist down Stop looking over our shoulder All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy As our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun I guess I believe in an altered state Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide Here, the telephone lines are always busy Unable to give a reason or a straight answer Buried from the waist down Stop looking over our shoulder We need to get it together From our window balconies, we take a tumble As our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun All of that money, where did it go? Where did it go? In somebody's pocket, a friend of a friend All the loose change, loose change

Oh wow. Good observation! 💡
look at all the pretty lights
Very well spotted
Yes it goes up tempo too the sound and lights were done so well
You've got my attention focused better now I subconsciously spotted it

Best music video I've seen in decades.
Not only is this a great song, but the video really moved me - seeing all those children react to the music in such an authentic way, wow! Kinda reminded me of the first time I listened to In Rainbows, I was a teenager at that time, but I still remember all the complex emotions it brought up in me.
ok, it's funny writing smiling comments but have you ever stopped by to think how beautiful is this song of The Smile?
How do they make 5/4 feel so natural. They are masters.
The video is so great. I was lucky enough to see it at the Wall of Eyes on film screening in London last week. Fun fact: Tom Skinner's kid features!
how long is it?
@Godspleen around the same as the track length? Maybe slightly more... I don't think the music starts straight away, but I can't remember exactly.
@@grapegirl ok thanks, I was wondering if it was longer like the Anima short film
@@Godspleen oh sorry, I think I misunderstood your question.. so my answer was about the Friend of a Friend music video.
The screening event wasn't a single film, it was a combo of a bunch of things - some exclusive behind the scenes footage (no audio), of the recording process, full album playback in surround sound, the premiere of the video for Friend of a Friend, and screening of a few other pta x radiohead/thom collabs, including Anima.
@@grapegirl No my question was about the Friend of a Friend video don't worry! But that must have been a great night in this London theater - lucky indeed...
I’m a time traveler. That boy on the right 3:18 in green sweater will become one of the greatest musicians.
plot twist: the kids are the actual time travelers, and from right to left, that's Ed, Phil, and Thom.
So spot on@@M2Mil7er
@@M2Mil7er more like thom, phil and jonny, left to right
Seeing this premiere tonight! Very excited
So many 'priceless' expressions from the kids 😊
This video really hit me hard. Children are so impressionable. They are the future. Let’s allow them to blossom in a healthy world. Let’s do our part, our very best to make sure these children have a bright and loving future. To be themselves and accepted fully.
You do your part by living closely with your people, and allowing your children to blossom from that kind of an environment.
The constant search for the self is an abyss. We don’t choose our own names but we recall them with near perfect precision when they are uttered.

Sadly, they’re probably all doomed to live in a post apocalyptic hellscape
i heard the whole album at London Wall Of Eyes On Film and it was amazing, this video is great too
What was playing on the screen during the other songs that don’t have music videos?
@@NoRUclipsName1so when they played the whole album for the first time the songs were accompanied by the art made for them (basically just what the friend of a friend audio yt video is for every song) and then any songs that had a music video were played again with the video after that :)
OMG, this is the best editing ever in a video. Absolutely brilliant and I was in stitches.
Such a powerful message to the given audience. So much braveness and irony here. Bravo!
Time and parent signatures abound.
30 year career... how can they still be getting better!!? And that stunning last section at 4:29
Counting every second!!!!!!!
FRRRR
Every plank time!
I bet to some of these kids do know how special this was, and it’ll influence their whole life
His voice makes all of us feel like kids again. ❤
This is fking beautiful, I wish I had been one of those kids.
Love you Thom, Tom and Jonny.
Absolutely love this song. I couldn’t work out how this song sounded familiar but I have just now. Dare I say it ? Thom sounds almost Beatles like. And the film clip is so addicted. Watching those kids faces. Do they even realise, that they’ve just witnessed musical geniuses at work? 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing. A little day in the life? There are parts that remind me of pyramid song too
@@Duzz14 definitely those two!
The Smile performing for children is like. . . It's like taking children to see a Paul Thomas Anderson movie, lol
Now the children ARE a Paul Thomas Anderson movie
hehe did you catch the director credit on this
@@actualdin8458 Does you asking this mean that you think I coincidentally named Paul Thomas Anderson?
Creepy
As my friend sayd, all kids are on DXM
Those last seconds turned memories of my Brother and I around those kids ages in the late 70s into tears rolling down my face.
I just cant get over how good this song is
imagine being like 7 and seeing that gig. you have something to tell until end of your life
Beautiful
what a great song!!!
😃
Yes I know. It makes me happy
This is definitely my favorite homeless band
They are just starting out. The gigs don’t pay much
@@daheikkinenI know you're joking but the first gig in Amsterdam was 75 euros and the upcoming show is 80 euros or something like that
thom looks like a hobo whom some kind fellow put some random clothes on indeed 😂
@@daheikkinenthey outsell in like 5 hours lol
Check out death grips
Have had the chance to see Thom twice. He’s the best. Hes the heart!
I loved watching every child's reaction and expressions to the music. I expect this was the idea behind the video. So wonderful.
Such an incredible song
Powerful message
Lyrics:
I can go anywhere that I want
I just got to turn myself inside out and back to front
With cut-out shapes and worn-out spaces
Add some sparkles to create the right effect
And they're all smiling, so I guess I'll stay
At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away
Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulder
All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy
As our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun
I guess I believe in an altered state
Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide
Here, the telephone lines are always busy
Unable to give a reason or a straight answer
Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulder
We need to get it together
From our window balconies, we take a tumble
As our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun
All of that money, where did it go?
Where did it go?
In somebody's pocket, a friend of a friend
All the loose change, loose change
there's some level of comedy to playing a song themed around corruption and nepotism to children
Thank you!
👍👏
@@DuringDarkyeah definitely felt that vibe as well
If you asked any musician what would be their "nightmare gig" this would be it. They did just fine.
Great song off of a great album.
These dudes will never cease to amaze me. Favorite musicians hands down
Best New music I've heard in a long long time.👍
I love how in they're music its constantly switching between which instrument is leading the story. The instruments just sound in perfect harmony with each other... not one taking the limelight
The most sincere reaction is the reaction of children.
Amazing clip. Thanks for all!
The kids are so real ❤
At first I thought it wouldn't work but it did... Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the greatest! 👏👏👏
I keep coming back to this, each time finding new subtleties in both musicianship and docu-videography. True master class ❤
This helped me smile after receiving some really bad news. Thank you.
hoping youre okay
Hope you’re well and have support wherever you are
THE SMILE
Hang in there pal, we're in this together.

This video is one of the highlights at the ‘Wall Of Eyes’ preview at the Glasgow Film Theatre last night!!
It's incredible to see how they advance more and more, I love them😿💐!!
Just can't get this out my head. Top 5 of anything him and Jonny have done
That “buried from the waist down” part gives strong Grizzly Bear vibes
a band that couldn't exist without the influence of radiohead
@@konnyknees agreed!
Oh this will be fun. I was lucky enough to watch the screening, it is a charming riot if there ever could be one.
jonny and thom are still making music! I feel absolutely grateful that I can enjoy this.
Please grab the wheel Thom and never let go.
Those kids picking their nose are forever immortalized in a music video. Their parents will never let them live it down.
So what. I think it more important to grow up happy, then be in any music video.
I'd do anything to be one of those kids. Lucky! Favorite song from the smile hands down!! Thom is amazing
This is heartbreakingly beautiful , probably listened to it ten times already today
