“Yorke bought a house in Cornwall and spent his time walking the cliffs and drawing, restricting his musical activity to playing his new grand piano.[3] "Everything in Its Right Place" was the first song he wrote,[3] followed by "Pyramid Song".[4] Yorke described himself as a "shit piano player", and took inspiration from a quote by Tom Waits saying that ignorance of instruments gives him inspiration. Yorke said: "That's one of the reasons I wanted to get into computers and synths, because I didn't understand how the fuck they worked. I had no idea what ADSR meant.”
tJP Wikipedia! - I had read about it in a few places when I was looking up the Prophet 5 synth (supposedly Nigel Godrich the producer had Yorke try it on a prophet 5 instead and it stuck). Later I was curious to see if there were any covers in piano to see what it must’ve heard like when Yorke first wrote it. Found this, and then went to Wikipedia to copy and paste for anyone who may want to know.
That's why practically no one with a "music degree" could ever write something truly worthy of attention; Schopenhauer knew it as nobody else: 'the concept is sterile for Art'.
@@maxmordon7295 Now that is some reactionary uneducated bullshit. Basically all of the most famous classical composers had a formal musical education, and many actually studied an instrument or compostion at university or conservatory for years. Ever heard of guys like Chopin, Schostakowitsch or Rachmaninoff?
This is so beautiful. This sounds silly but Kid A came out not too long before 9/11 and at the time I was a freshman at NYU in downtown Manhattan, and also a huge Radiohead fan since probably 8th grade or something - and for some reason this has always been _that_ one song that most immediately reminds me of it, like those first few days immediately after the attack from the Wednesday through that weekend. The whole island was entirely sealed off from the outside world, my dorm was within the "second" exclusion zone (below 14th) where the only traffic was the military/police and first responders, so you could hang out in the intersections and not worry about getting run over - except on every other corner there was a soldier or MP with a gun and a dog like we were an occupied country or something. It was unreal. I remember very vividly walking down the middle of Broadway playing this song on repeat on my Discman and this soldier just staring at me lol. I also remember sitting in the McDonald's on 8th and Broadway at lunchtime a day or two later...and the place was packed just like always - but it was completely and totally silent. All I could hear was the piped-in muzak and the sound of people chewing. It felt like church or something, literally nobody said a word...and you could still smell that awful burning plastic smell in the air even when you were indoors. It was this surreal atmosphere where you had people wandering around trying to go about their normal day and trying really hard to pretend like everything was still basically normal and basically okay even though everyone knew that it wasn't...there was this horrible sense of everything just being _off_ and like nothing was "in its right place" at all. I didn't even really get the worst of it compared to the people who'd already been living there for years by that point because I'd only moved to the city a week or so beforehand...in fact I'd actually visited the observation deck up at the top of WTC1 that previous Labor Day weekend. So it wasn't as intimately familiar to me yet as it gets to be once you've lived there for awhile. (To clarify, I didn't have time to see the North Tower collapse - by the time WTC1 came down everybody around me had basically scattered and run even though we were clearly far enough away - maybe 20-25 blocks or so - that the debris wasn't going to fall _on_ us, but it actually felt like it might, or could...nobody was thinking rationally at that point.) The skyline in Manhattan is like its natural topography, so for the buildings to just instantly be gone like that, it was as if a mountain or something had suddenly just up and vanished into thin air right in front of you. There was this fundamental spatial "wrongness" like the whole city was inhabiting some Lovecraftian non-Euclidian space that just felt inherently revolting and horrifying on like a visceral level. Anyway, sorry for the huge tl;dr...this song always had that same sort of sad, sinister feel to it and this instrumental is such a heartbreakingly apt rendition. Thank you for the music.
+Sarah Riedel Glad you enjoyed the cover, Sarah. Thanks for sharing the story. I was actually up one of the twin towers a month or so prior to 9/11, so this story hits hard.
Wow, that's so beautiful in a haunted way. This is exactly the kind of song I would have listened to if I would've been you. This song makes me feel kinda empty but in a very soothing way.
Nailed it. The calm, building melody/beat against the angst and instability of Thom's voice while singing "in its right place" creates a haunting tension that suggests nothing is in its right place at all. Really pulls you in on an emotional level. Such a great song and an amazing cover. In some ways I like it better than the original. Cheers.
Who is here after the “Unforgivable” Sandra Bullock? I had a headache after watching this movie, so overwhelmed with emotions. It was through the roof!!!! Awesome movie!
So this tune has some unusual time signatures throughout the piece. Can anyone pick up on a slight variation I've made to some of the time signatures in this arrangement compared to the original?
At 5:57, the F-C-DbM7-Eb6+9 outro motif (where the Radiohead version drops to just the bass drum, and that clean sine wave synth) he drops a beat off the normal 10/8 meter, to a straight (not swung) 9/8 time and repeats it. I like it...gives it a bit of "glitch" effect like it's at the end of a record, and the stylus keeps catching back in the last groove. I'm not sure if that's the best way to explain it, but I was thinking it felt something like that.
"The Unforgivable", starring Sandra Bullock, brought me here. This sounds great! What surprised me is that this masterpiece exists since 22 years! Good things never die! ♥️
So haunting....all the flats in the piece make it sound extra moody...can't get enough of this piece ..having a hard time learning it but will get there..🎹🎶
Imagine the race to which the hands belong and what such hands were usually doing the last thousands of years. Sorry for taking anyone's illusions of peace.
I could listen to this all day long. After watching Unforgivable I had to research where this song originated from. Such a powerful song played on the piano. This song and Moonlight Sonata are probably my favorite ever played on a piano.
This song always reminds me of the beginning of Vanilla Sky. I remember back in the day I had a CD player in my bedroom and I set it as my alarm to wake me up just like the start of the movie
@ɮօʊռċɛ օʄʄ dude season one had all of the stuff that you'd call 'sjw garbage'. I've seen many good arguments for season 1 being better than later seasons but yours is very poor indeed. If u don't like a show you need a better reason than 'siw garbage'
Glad you enjoyed it. It's a few years old now (maybe around eight I think), but I think it's hitting its sweet spot at the moment. A few little clicks here and there, but overall I'm stoked! 😄
I love complex time signatures...most all genres. From one musician to another, this is by far the best cover of any Radiohead song I've ever seen. Please do Pyramid Song! I read other comments asking for it too, lol! I did my own version a few years ago, but it's one of only a few songs I would touch by them personally; I don't have much equipment haha (I should put it on RUclips though, for the heck of it). Excited to hear/see more from you! Cheers!
+Ethan Kitchen I've started piecing together Pyramid Song. It's a little harder to incorporate the melody and chords at the same time, but it's coming together nicely. Stay tuned!
Due to popular demand, I've decided to create a Subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/joshcohenmusic to prioritise upcoming videos. If you'd like to submit your requests, it'll definitely point me in the right direction for future clips. Thanks, Josh :-)
This is probably the best performance on RUclips right now. The addition halfway through of your own rendition is phenomenal. You didn't over saturate it. Just the right amount. Well done.
+Josh Cohen School of Music My strongest recommendation is Packt Like Sardines In a Crushed Tin Box, followed by Glass Eyes, Karma Police and Knives Out.
As soon as you started playing I went from a happy mood to instantly crying. Thanks for the most violent mood swing in my life, lol. (It was actually wonderful, you're an amazing pianist and you inspire me in many ways).
That 4 note motif..... C - Ab - G - C .....is just SO achingly poignantly heartbreaking to me. Four notes..... Then the 3 note thing....on the word "everything" comes in with that quick F - C - F idea. It's all so simple....but communicates so much, especially over _those_ chords underneath. Such a crushingly beautiful song to me.....and this cover did it justice. It sounds gorgeous on piano.
Josh, I just stumbled onto this video. You have a new subscriber now. Wow! There’s something about these chord changes and progressions that gives this song it’s unique aura. But the way you play it, it takes it to a whole new level. Well done sir!
Stripped down in this form you can see just what a beautiful, and complex composition this is 🤔 typical Radiohead, way ahead of its time…..great version, thanks for the post 👍
Liked this a lot, specially that thing you do with the tempo from 3:30 and those descending lines at the ending. I've always wondered about the time signature of this piece, I would say simply a 10/8 but...
One of the best out there, especially one that has sheet music. 2:22 things get more interesting on your version vs other folks. That octave play is nice! Good work!
Wow. I understand it has been nearly four years since this Radiohead piano series came out, but I have to admit they are timeless masterpiece(s). I stumbled across this channel by finding Paranoid Android in my recommendations last December, and I continued to fall down this rabbit hole. I have to admit, most people don't do the best at covering Radiohead, but this is amazing. I can tell what song it is without looking at the title, and it is easy to sing along to. You sound so professional with non-Radiohead songs too. This channel is underrated and I wish you the best. Edit: My birthday card from my best friend says " I really have nothing else to say so if it makes this card more interesting pretend it is playing Radiohead"
Wow, this just does not compare to any other versions out there! Thank you so much for your lovely playing. I would totally pay for sheet music for this, as I tend to learn things more permanently from sheets than video tutorials, even though that's where I started learning myself. Please let me know if you ever transcribe, I wouldn't mind seeing it all written out!
Hi Hannah, thanks for the message. I do transcribe, but am unsure on how to approach the publishers about transcribing my own arrangements - it's not as easy I had initially thought. These arrangements are all done by ear, but I could definitely put something down on paper if there was an incentive to do so. Let me know if you have any ideas on how I can legally distribute my arrangements of their sheet music. Thanks, Josh :-)
Hi Hannah, just a heads-up that I obtained the rights to publish some of my Radiohead arrangements into a solo piano songbook this week. You can sign up to my mailing list at joshcohenmusic.com/pianocovers to stay in the loop as the project develops. Cheers!
Beautifully played. Also, played on a very beautiful piano... I've just discovered more of your wonderful music on yt music, and I'm very much enjoying it. Thank you ❤

I love how the piano can make any song sound so emotional and dramatic yet elegant.
And especially this song.
To be fair.... the original is emotional and dramatic. :) I do get your point tho.

I used to think Kid A was 10 years ahead of its time. Now I think it's 17 years and the clock is still running. Great cover!

The whole album Radiohead for Solo Piano is a masterpiece. Glad I’ve found it on Spotify. Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, Markus x
Out of all the piano covers of this song, this one is the greatest.
So this tune has some unusual time signatures throughout the piece. Can anyone pick up on a slight variation I've made to some of the time signatures in this arrangement compared to the original?
Isn't it just something like two bars of 4/4 then 2/4 or 4/4+6/4?
It is usually in 10/8, but I've made a further modification to the time signature at times. I'm curious if anyone can pick it up!
It sounds like some of the 10/8 measures skip a beat down to 9/8 during some parts, especially near the end
At 5:57, the F-C-DbM7-Eb6+9 outro motif (where the Radiohead version drops to just the bass drum, and that clean sine wave synth) he drops a beat off the normal 10/8 meter, to a straight (not swung) 9/8 time and repeats it.

You’re most welcome. I actually had a listen back to this last night as I was falling asleep, haven’t heard it in ages and also had a great time x
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard! It is just amazing how well the song lends itself to the piano.
So glad I found this………brilliant.
Genius chord progressions in this song!
They are pretty special :-)
It's almost as if you didn't want to stop playing, to let go of that rhythm, to end the tune. It is a beautiful take of a great song. Well done!
"The Unforgivable", starring Sandra Bullock, brought me here. This sounds great! What surprised me is that this masterpiece exists since 22 years! Good things never die! ♥️
Amazingly beautiful! Unforgetable movie brought me here. This was a lost song on my mind. Will take the dust of my piano out!
Same path for me. Never heard or remembered the tune from anywhere else. Love it.
Same here. Heard it in the movie and knew I'd heard it before, just didn't know where or when. Had to jump through a few hoops to get to this version.

Hands down this song has the greatest outro ever recorded.
Purely amazing...
+LankeyMonkey Thanks for watching :-)
Brilliant!! Thom and Radiohead would be so proud of you..God Bless your piano
right in its place!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
At times the resemblances with Canto Ostinato by Simeon Ten Holt is mindblowing, loveeee this cover
Absolute magic to listen to♡
Thanks so much, Mariska. Appreciate the support! 😀
One word, beautiful. Love it how you made it your own.
Thank you x
Those dynamics tho...
That really moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your talent
Such an awesome cover... So relaxing. Thank you!
You're welcome. It's a fun one to play and jam on. I could sit on that riff all day!
The final section is pure magic
you've gained a subscriber I've been listening to this cover all day
+ian favors Awesome! Thanks for listening Ian :-)
You make this the only other version of Radioheads music I will listen to and able to get into and throughly enjoy
Wow, this just does not compare to any other versions out there! Thank you so much for your lovely playing. I would totally pay for sheet music for this, as I tend to learn things more permanently from sheets than video tutorials, even though that's where I started learning myself. Please let me know if you ever transcribe, I wouldn't mind seeing it all written out!
Hi Hannah, thanks for the message. I do transcribe, but am unsure on how to approach the publishers about transcribing my own arrangements - it's not as easy I had initially thought. These arrangements are all done by ear, but I could definitely put something down on paper if there was an incentive to do so. Let me know if you have any ideas on how I can legally distribute my arrangements of their sheet music. Thanks, Josh :-)
Hi Hannah, just a heads-up that I obtained the rights to publish some of my Radiohead arrangements into a solo piano songbook this week. You can sign up to my mailing list at joshcohenmusic.com/pianocovers to stay in the loop as the project develops. Cheers!
Josh Cohen I was so excited when I saw the email! I just can't wait!
Awesome! Thanks for your support :-)
Beautiful, even stunning. One of the most beautiful thing written in the 1990's
so good.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 😀
