Thom Yorke explained what it’s like to feel trapped in your mind AMAZINGLY! Especially for how the world viewed mental issues like depression back then. He was 100% right about the fact that you can’t escape it. You just can’t. We can’t just “cheer up”
She is SO GOOD with him. I have never seen him have on-camera chemistry with another human being before (other than maybe Johnny), let alone a reporter.
Gitai Vinshtok I bet she thought asking him to do the interview without having eye contact might actually make him more comfortable and easier for him to open up
She asked questions that did not probe him or his band. In other interviews Thom can be very closed off and refusing to answer questions or give short "No" answers and won't go any further. He does not talk about the band or himself.
takes you a while to get into their music. when my mate showed me some of their songs i was like "whoah WTF is this shit?!" But now i cant get enough of em. by far the most awesome and innovative rock band!
I hated OK Computer and everything after until I went through all of The Bends I still don't tolerate everything they have, but I like a little bit more than I did before
I've realized she's not sitting opposite him. Just beside him and avoiding eye contact. If only I could go for a job interview like that, my anxiety would not go through the roof
@@rimelgana1656the no eye contact is her idea, not his, she's probably had training in dealing W/ppl who've been diagnosed W/Anxiety disorders and mental health issues
I REMEMBER SEEING THIS INTERVIEW WHEN IT CAME OUT. It fucking changed my brain and the way I see music journalism. Sook Yin Lee, Muchmusic during this generation. Mind fucking blown.
it is 90ish type of Music Television. I miss when Much Music was doing amazing things like this. I found out that Thom Yorke really likes her and she interviewed him a ton of times when she was working at Much Music. actually I heard she was the only person he'd let interview her haha. maybe the reason why Radiohead was all over Much Music when I was a kid was because of her. :D she's my new hero in life as of today. sorry this was completely unrelated to what you said haha. :)
Why would you look something like that up? Besides none of them has ever had issues with drug addiction, why do ppl keep thinking that? Just BC of how Thom performed sometimes? Obviously no one has ever seen Joe Cocker perform, of your generation, and he wasn't on drugs either, well not every performance
It's really cool, I've heard a lot of musicians like John mayer and other pop musicians try to put philisophical meaning behind their music and it didn't sound at all realistic, and it sounded pompous, like they were trying to be more than they were, but with Thom it seems totally believable.
We've see waste of time interviews where the musician don't want to be there and only give yes or no answers! Thom's just giving us something a little different; thinking outside the box!
1:16 I really like the way she said that... "you forgot, didn't you?" it felt like she was talking to me for a moment. I guess I did forget, that she is in a video from 2001 and I'm here and now. Very strange.
Ooo, that one was great. Flirty much, even though Thom already had two kids with his GF. But still awesome. The interviewer's other stuff were also pretty good. She's a bestselling author apparently. Thanks for the recommend!
I couldn't look my boyfriend in the eye, it was really unnerving for me. Not that he didnt have lovely brown eyes, I just couldn't look at him for longer than a few seconds or I felt like he'd make me blow up or something.
@@claude2571 is that actually another behaviour issue? cause i have autism and i always had the struggle of keeping eye contact for even a few seconds, i truly would love to know.
@wulord Good point. The Kid A/Amnesiac era is so mind-numbingly rich with philosophical meaning, it's almost too much to answer a question like "what does amnesiac reference?" without it sounding fragmented. So, Thom answers with a deceptively simple, "timing".
I had excactly the same thing. But luckily I'm over it, over the girl and I can look into peoples eyes for longer, I just forced myself, told myself to just believe I'm awesome:P and just look at people. I now realize people aren't that scary.
The sequence of the town before the interview really reminded me of the Burn the Witch music video. I'm also wondering if the "avoid all eye contact, do not react" is somehow related to this interview.
She has interviewed Thom 3 x from the late 90's to early 2000's on Much Music. Also Sook Yin Lee used to be in a band herself called "Bob's Your Uncle" in the late 80's/early 90's from Vancouver Canada.
Mots clés pour une nouvelle chanson "It was a sign","We was together in the stars","Just you and me, street of the stars", "I was the only to help you".
Bahaha! I actually stopped the video there to google, "How do British people pronounce 'hyperbole'?" I do that sort of thing a lot when I've been doing much more reading and writing than speaking. So glad he didn't decide to discard his voice for those albums, by the way!
@defpoet28 --SPOT ON. Compare this interview with Charlotte Roche ( a successful author now) and you'll see what I mean. Thom opens up if you throw him brilliant questions and really knows how to appreciate it. Look up the 3-part interview here: (uploaded by akustica) watch?v=BWOKtktYfP0 Thom Yorke is a terribly misunderstood man
He seems so comfortable with her, that's so rare. Wonderful interview.
theyve done a bunch of interviews together
TheWarhammerfreak Shes his waifu
He has a thing for Asian women. So I’ve heard
@@Jess1234 Um...what? lmao
Maybe because she complies with thom’s wishes and does her job well. Heck I’d want her to interview me.
“You always return home, here, why?”
Thom: “Cuz it’s where I left my things, when I left”
avoid all eye contact.....do not react.....
@196019sycamore can I like this 27 times?
i know where you live

He's not here, this isn't happening
Only one of his eyes saw this comment.
"What's he like? Well apparently he looks like me, poor sod."
XD
Thom Yorke is extremely beautiful and one of the most gorgeous guys I have ever seen.

ikr... he was ahead of his time, man..
Except u can u just need to stop being a pussy bitch
She really is a great interviewer. Introspective questions
He's really an introvert.

@@The_Whistlingman56thom said not to make eye contact
@@playboycartea ohhh ok. It's just like that part in creep lol. "Couldn't look you in the eye"
thom has a very subtle sense of humor....funny.
4:44 That's like the most peaceful facial expression a human can ever have and they're talking about Japanese man's breasts stuff xD
LOL
Milk sacs
He's smiling :)
Plus this was one of the better interviews I have seen of Thom. A lot of chemistry.
Definitely better than that awkward one.
Great interviewer.
"It's where I left things...when I left.
Thank you Thom
"We don't have to have this guy singing in this emotional hyperbole..." *cuts to chorus of Idioteque*
"amnesiac?"
"it's sort of..."
"you forgot!"
Ironic
i want to give him a hug
but no eye contact! !
You're comment is 11 years old dammm
I want to eat him

The great composer of our time.
Haha, all this shit about Thom Yorke being misunderstood or antisocial is bullshit. He's just not afraid to be straightforward with people.
I like the end. "Libra?" "yea"
Fun fact this is what happens when you look up "Radiohead drugs"
That's how I came here
Ahahaha me too
hahaha same

@@zoebella314 I looked up "radiohead drugs" one day when I was 16 for no reason
I'm very fond of the room in which they filmed this interview, there's just something about round windows in a cloudy day...
Man this is old, they said that their latest album was Amnesiac xD
He's younger than my mother.
now I realized that its been almost 20 years since year 2000.......I feel old. And scared ;__;

yes, a hug and a squeeze. love you thom. keep on keepin on dude! peace.

I will never know if she got the amnesiac joke at the beginning

Felt the same, idk why this video it's so, weird? In a good way
My Radiohead knowledge is lacking, what the hell was up with the sperms flying out of their bear logo?
Love #Radiohead...wow...Brilliant interview with Thom dear Sook-Yin! #LOVE

God bless you Thom Yorke
Such a nice interview between two extraterrestrial species. It got me watching the movie Shortbus, I hope Thom saw it at some point.
One of my favorite songs ever

5:35-5:47 Does anyone else find this bit, like, really profound?
deee fqdd in what way
Yeahhh
Ahh yes, Radiohead, every INFJ’s favorite band
I feel called out
HAHA as an INFP with them as one of my fav bands, i think that is true
what the fuck are you talking about
This is how interview with introverts should be done lol
God, I love this man!
I'm sure he is, he seems like a lovely guy a lot of the time.
he’s the genius
Rock n' Roll Superhero.
well, it sounds good doesn't it
Genius interviewer!
Radiohead makes the most beautiful music... I enjoy them immensely! : )
the whole amnesia forgetting bit funny funny
"im not gonna answer the door like that."
3:50 i kinda like the version of idioteque
It’s where I left all the things when I left. Haha. Great.
My boy Thom 😂😂😂
It's warm and cold at once.
Rock'n Roll Superhero.
The 911 Twin Towers tragedy song I always called it.
When you were here before... couldn’t look you in the eye
No, Thom is really weird he's always like that....he doesn't do any drugs though hehe he makes great music

Absolute hero
good interview,
It suits him. He's actually more comfortable. Like lotso artists. He thrives on a random constraint.
