😂😂😂 I thought the same exact thing, but then I realized that it's flea. I'm not sure why they chose this as the artwork since this is a Radiohead song and not Atoms for peace
I agree, that's why I am so shocked to see so many people on here preferring this version. It's so unsure of itself. The melodies are there. Just not the cohesion. The organ is cool but not Radiohead. I prefer Thom's acapella of the melody Jonny's playing on the organ here. They def honed this into perfection for In Rainbows. This is too sloppy, which can be great...But not after Nude from IR. Plus it does not have Jonny's travis picking, which sounds so good through his AC30.
i love both versions so very much but god the way thom delivers the “you’ll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking” followed by the “what do you look like when you’re nude?” tears me apart man
Yeah the way he screams… I could be crazy but it feels like a continuation of the cathartic vocals of kurt. Feels like Radiohead took the torch of subversive rock music from nirvana. That’s how it feels for me. I understand that’s not the objective through-line of goadedness, but for me Jeff Buckley and kurt cobain turned into thom yorke… somehow
I keep coming back to this and I can’t work out why. The In Rainbows final release is certainly more polished, but there’s something about this version: the angsty, vulnerable vocals and the organ make it a thing of beauty
Not completely sure about these, but I think these are the lyrics: Don't get any big ideas They're not gonna happen That thin stewardess Her skirt in a mess You don't stand a chance What do you look like when you're nude? What do you look like when you're nude? What do you look like where you're Soulless reflection in the other person's eyes Deathbed, first home, damaged goods Subject, object, verb So don't get any big ideas They're not gonna happen You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking What do you look like when you're nude? What do you look like when you're nude?
Dural Desgraçadão Virado na Cachaça It’s pretty obvious this song is portraying a character, it’s not meant to literally be his own perspective. He mentioned in notes and interviews in the 90s that this song was about men who seek fulfillment through the sexual objectification of women. I remember in one entry from the old website he painted the picture of a married businessman eyeing young girls half his age with predatory intentions. While I think the final lyrics are much better, more nuanced and emotionally resonant, the lyrics in this iteration seem pretty critical of the mindset they’re depicting. It’s about a man who has achieved “happiness” (purchased his first home, found a wife, started a family, fulfills the “successful” role as dictated by capitalism) but nonetheless feels empty which results in him satiating that emptiness through hollow, dehumanizing sexual encounters. It can be read as a criticism of the objectification of women and capitalism’s role in perpetuating it. EDIT: here’s Thom’s description of the song from all the way back on the Radiohead website during the OK Computer era: “ nude* it is a mans world. and this one is very confused and will have sex with anything woman who comes within a mile radius. but feels bad about it. so doesnt.”
@@RockyStradlin Same,also because this is the first version i heard many years ago,i always miss the organ in the in the new version. And the emotional depth.
Overall I prefer the in rainbows version, but I really love the ending of this one especially the way Thom is singing his soul out with the "you go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking" part - pure emotion.
Takes me back to the old live versions of this when it was called Big Ideas (Don't Get Any) and Jonny jumped between Hammond organ and guitar and Thom played electric piano.
Imagine if they fleshed this out more and made it the closer to OK Computer instead of The Tourist, we prolly could've gotten a healthy mix between this version and the IR version.
The thing is they tried that and weren't satisfied with it lol It was Colin's dub influenced bass line that basically saved the song from the scrap heap.
Great song , both versions. Certainly this version is more raw, less polished, authentic…. But the In rainbows version is a Masterpiece, the strings, the voice, the raspy percussive guitar and the ambient sounds of Ed in the background. But by far the best and most original aspect of the in Rainbows version is Collin’s Bass line….
They played this version on the OKC tour. I vividly remember them playing this “Banana Co,” and “Killer Cars,” which I hadn’t heard despite already having been a superfan and hunting down their b-sides for years. I love the passion in this version ... but In Rainbows is an undeniably GORGEOUS album. Kid A will always be my favorite, but In Rainbows (and the second disc) ... it has an undeniable quality to it. I really wish Thom had won the Hail To The Thief fight, that album was recorded in two weeks, and it’s a great album and all, but when you compare it to their other releases - I feel like if they had given it 4-6 months even it would’ve come out even better. I still cannot freaking believe they wrote the 30, (34 at least if you’re counting the different versions of spinning plates and morning bell) mindblowingly original songs in just about a year. To pull that off after just getting off the OK Computer tour is almost Beatles level “whaaaaaat the eff did they do?! How?!!!”
Radiohead is superior to the Beatles. The Beatles never went to the top of totally different genre. I listen to a lot more electronic music than rock. Kid A was a serious accomplishment for a rock band!
@@ginzo666 so was Sgt Pepper man. They recorded that on two 4 tracks they connected together. Maybe you can’t appreciate that not having experienced the serious limitations working with that kinda gear presents. Strawberry Fields Forever is just as big a leap from “please please me” that kid a was from Pablo. Also. It’s irritating when people lob opinions like they’re facts. I literally mentioned the Beatles once and you had to take the time to say “NO. My opinion is right yours is wrong!” That’s why I rarely check these comments.
@@ginzo666 also. If it’s true you were an electro head pre kid a you DEFINITELY remember that Aphex Twin (who LOVED OKC) and Warp record aficionados, saw Kid A as a pure rip off of existing music. So there’s that too. The song “kid a” - as much as I love it, can be sourced from Aphex Twin’s come to daddy EP. The slowed down voice. The synth pads. The soft drums and music box like melody.🤷🏻♂️ No ones superior to anyone buddy. You just think the Beatles weren’t as good. I think they were. They wrote their entire catalogue of wide ranging music in just 7 years. Radiohead couldn’t do that. Not saying that makes either better. Just saying they’re both great and music isn’t a popularity contest.
@@RustinChole I know Aphex Twin. Was never a fan. My brother had some vinyl, but I found it very meh. Richie Hawtin is top of the food chain though. His raves in Detroit in the early 90s are gold standard.
Wow that's a great version, thanks for sharing. I forget how insanely powerful and beautiful Thom's voice is. So passionate. Really reminds me why I got into music in the first place.
Man i this would be one of my most played songs for radiohead if they had it on their spotify, man why is all the cassete tracks not on spotify or even being manufactured anymore
Gracias weon! Solo tengo una versión CD desde el 97 cuando salió y el vinilo del disco desde 2010. No he tenido la posibilidad de comprar la nueva edición donde trae el cassette mítico con tintes de atari
I was looking forward to this version, thinking it was going to be better than the album version, but it's not. I totally understand why the band didn't release it now. That being said, I heard a live version of this early Nude and it was awesome. They couldn't capture that version in the studio for some reason.
Que versión increibleeeee!!! Me ha golpeado muy fuerte!!! La del In Rainbows es fantástica pero esta versión "Retro" tiene mucha magia. Mucha onda a "Los Iracundos "
Am I the only one that actually prefers this to the In Rainbows version? Maybe it’s just my bias for OKC but the organ is just pure heaven. This version has completely changed my perspective on this song for the better and is definitely my go to.
I think I've got a prrety good grasp on what the original song means (at least to me). Can anyone who thinks they know interpretion this verse let me know though?- Soulless reflection In the other person's eyes Death bed, first home Damaged good, subject Object none I would assume "Souless reflection in the other persons eyes" would either refer to surrounding yourself with people who have painted themselves white (are willfully blind to their true humanity and emotionational state) and filling themselves with noise (hedonistic distraction) OR it's about the cowardice of staying in a loveless relationship because the pain of leaving is worse than the pain of staying. I think it's far more likely to be the former though. Death bed, first home? Is this referring to being so damaged at a young age that your first home figuratively becomes a death bed for your dreams? Damaged good, subject, object none? Really struggling with this one. Sounds like someone shutting down into complete dissociation I guess?
Still a good song but if they had finalized it this way it would kind of just be another Radiohead song to me whereas the In Rainbows version is definitely more of a standout Radiohead song
I wish i could gear a version where the medium doesnt loose a lot of the detail in the song. This one has such a powerful and amazing sound. In rainbows is my absolute favourite album of all time but this song is really intriguing and peaking my curiosity to hear all the organ tone
This early version is very similar to the songs Radiohead took inspiration from to create this masterpiece. One song is Can You Mend a Broken Heart The other one is Maggot Brain
Colin looks a bit different
😂😂😂 I thought the same exact thing, but then I realized that it's flea. I'm not sure why they chose this as the artwork since this is a Radiohead song and not Atoms for peace

I'm not sure if you guys are kidding or not, but anyway flea plays with thom in atoms for peace.
@@lordaizen2684 that's obviously Kieffer from the big lebowski
Greenwood's bass line in the 'final' version sends this song into orbit.
Absolutely agree
Colin is hands down my favorite bassist! Every note he plays is exactly what the song needs. No over-playing.
I thought you meant Jonny for a sec, I was a little confused. Then I remembered there was only one bassist.
The Album version is so much improved. Shows you the thought process that goes behind taking a raw song and manifesting your ultimate vision of it.
Isnt this song took like 10 years in the making? They first recorded it in 97's and release it in 07's
This is the second recording of it ever

Yorkes way of writing songs is beautiful,and although this versions production isn’t as great,it’s still brilliant and emotional
A demo didn't need to go this hard
Not completely sure about these, but I think these are the lyrics:
Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
That thin stewardess
Her skirt in a mess
You don't stand a chance
What do you look like when you're nude?
What do you look like when you're nude?
What do you look like where you're
Soulless reflection in the other person's eyes
Deathbed, first home, damaged goods
Subject, object, verb
So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking
What do you look like when you're nude?
What do you look like when you're nude?
Thanks man
I love how the final lyrics still have the same message as the 98 demo
@Dural Desgraçadão Virado no Coping lmaooo true
@Dural Desgraçadão Virado no Coping hahaha I can’t argue with that, glad the final lyrics toned down on the incel language

OK that "thinking" part at 4:12? Mother of god that was fucking powerful jesus
I'm listening first time right now, that was fucking intense!!
WHHHHAT do you loooooook like
I love the album version so much but this one is good in its own way. I quite like the organ in this one
MANNN I absolutely adore the version we have on in rainbows but i love the “what do you look like when you’re nude?” parts and 3:58 to 4:40
Y E A H
This is nice but so glad they held off until In Rainbows
Me too
definitely belonged on In Rainbows.
The “we just got an organ” version
😂😂😂
Hearing this version is like hearing the song for the first time again
I like this version more than the one we have in in rainbows. Its awesome
the sound is so reminiscent of the works of Al Green. the heavy 70's soul/blues fusion.
That was their inspiration actually
@@bbpoisonrorty the guitar is much more, how do i say it... intense, it's more distorted, and the organ sound is epic
Glad they waited for Colin to come up with that Baseline before settling on this song. But I do like this version. Glad to hear it.
Super impressive that Thom wrote this in his mid 20s just a few years after the stuff on Pablo Honey.
3:57 god that fucking tone is everything
this version is amazing
this is much more angsty but the original is so beautiful it’s almost hard to listen to this
This is the original
Yes!!!!
Takes me back to the old live versions of this when it was called Big Ideas (Don't Get Any) and Jonny jumped between Hammond organ and guitar and Thom played electric piano.
it's amazing how much new music i find out of radiohead even though i got introduced almost 4 year ago
I've been listening to them for 22 years - I still keep finding new favourites.
That piano part sounds so much like rick wright.
thom loved the organ solo so much he kept singing it.
Imagine if they fleshed this out more and made it the closer to OK Computer instead of The Tourist, we prolly could've gotten a healthy mix between this version and the IR version.
Or just add it to the album lol the tourist is beautiful and one of jonny’s best solos

Not the only one man, don’t worry
i also prefer the lyrics of this version, they just hit me in a very personal level
so amazing
These mf's don't miss
i love so much thom's vocal
It's pink floyd vibe 🌹
i thought the bass track come first, because the bassline in In Rainbows version is absolutely the backbone of this songs
The bass riff is the only reason the song was put on In Rainbows, so you're not completely wrong. This song would've been scrapped otherwise.
Just...beautiful
4:20 this part isnt being talked about enough
This version is actually good
Es maravillosa está versión pero ese final... DIOS, ESE FINAL!!!
god damn thom sounded so effortlessly amazing back then...
This is so much better holy shit
Both beautiful versions, the organ here reminds me of Deep Purple´s Lalena..
why is the image from atoms for peace?
I prefer the vocals to this version. Everything else is better on the official version imo.
I love all the versions of Nude. This cover art is strange though with Flea in there haha
I think I've got a prrety good grasp on what the original song means (at least to me). Can anyone who thinks they know interpretion this verse let me know though?-
Soulless reflection
In the other person's eyes
Death bed, first home
Damaged good, subject
Object none
I would assume "Souless reflection in the other persons eyes" would either refer to surrounding yourself with people who have painted themselves white (are willfully blind to their true humanity and emotionational state) and filling themselves with noise (hedonistic distraction) OR it's about the cowardice of staying in a loveless relationship because the pain of leaving is worse than the pain of staying. I think it's far more likely to be the former though.
Death bed, first home?
Is this referring to being so damaged at a young age that your first home figuratively becomes a death bed for your dreams?

Help me solve the last piece of this puzzle!
ok but whys flea there
goddamn flea in thumbnail 🗣🗣🗣
I really love the guitar around the 4:50 mark. I can see why it wasn't included on In Rainbows, but still sad about it.
This is cool. I still like the album version better though
Thank u
Thom and squidward 🤘
Still a good song but if they had finalized it this way it would kind of just be another Radiohead song to me whereas the In Rainbows version is definitely more of a standout Radiohead song
I think people only like this version as much because of the original’s existence.
Powerful
The organ sounds very Deep Purple like in Lalena
Who let Jon Lord into the recording session?
I wish i could gear a version where the medium doesnt loose a lot of the detail in the song.
This one has such a powerful and amazing sound.
In rainbows is my absolute favourite album of all time but this song is really intriguing and peaking my curiosity to hear all the organ tone
All the organ notes in a clearer way i meant.
Why is Flea playing bass alongside Thom?
so fucking good
Shouldve kept the first verse and the refrain. Theyre very fucking good.
I love this picture...someone has it in high quality?? I want to make a poster with it!!
I thought that was ‘Flea’ if RHCP for a hot minute. Ultimate Collab
it most certainly is, they joined together for the band Atoms for Peace
Look at Flea's freakin thumb.
Flea's Iron Thumb
This is better
I honestly like it more than the In Rainbows version, especially the outro
i prefer this version ruclips.net/video/Y66Ejt0f8i8/видео.html&start_radio=1

the cover art tho..
Flea played the organ on this one
is it real?
