@M 40 I get what you're saying, and can't argue with the facts of what Thom has said the lyrics mean, after all he wrote them. But a lot of lyricists don't even like to explain the meaning of their songs, preferring to leave it to the listener and what it means to them. To me that's the power of music, and not to say I'm dismissive of the true meaning... and do appreciate your input ✌
Don’t worry about it. Back in the day, we all listened to each other’s music because it was played together on MTV before they started separating the genres.
Good point, I'm lucky I came up in the 90's when we could hear Snoop then Aerosmith then Salt 'N Pepa then Ace of Base then Enya all on the same radio station & back to back on MTV. Such a great time for music!
@@augleda2537 it was the shit, wasn't it! And those are great examples to illustrate for people coming up that didn't get to experience it. Kids, you gotta realize...having access to, theoretically, every musical act in the world here on RUclips, while awesome in its own way, is not the same at all as the cross-cultural melting pot that existed prior to to the two thousands. On the net and on the radio now, most are off in their own little corner of RUclips, or whatever app or station. We're more divided for this reason alone. It wasn't solely MTV that brought people together, popular radio stations would play anything that was popular...and that was the beauty of it: ANYTHIING, any style, could become immensely popular then! we miss it! We thought it would never end and we want it back. We've got to find a way to get back to that place. It enriched all of our lives. You've been robbed of something priceless. We all have.
Instant like! It's fuckin ridiculous, ain't it, the way they've got us in our own little worlds where vast numbers off people have somehow been conditioned to feel that only one genre of music is socially acceptable to listen to?
As a black woman, who started to enjoy all sorts of music in her teen years, everything about your message speaks to me. You're all the more well rounded for your interests.
“I want you to notice when I’m not around” who doesn’t want that? The desperate yearning and unrequited love of this song is so relatable, feeling out of your depth and not good enough. It’s captured so beautifully here
When I first saw your channel, I wasn’t sure you were really enjoying the music you were hearing. But I kept coming back cuz you were listening to some great songs. Then I realized it; you WERE enjoying the music! You spoke truth and sincerity. You captivated me and now I know your heart & that you are special. A very well raised, loved & wise young man. I really love how you love the “rat pack” and the oldies! You keep being you, you’re doing what you love and the haters can just keep hatin! Peace and Love.
Yep, I saw a few without much reaction, but the playlist was spectscular. Then you see bohemian rhapsody, freebird, creep, and others and you realize they are pure reactions and it's interesting to see which songs move them. :)
Dude I just stumbled on you and your brother. I’m an old white dude and totally appreciate the way you react to the songs. Your reactions are true and real. I appreciate all types of music too. Keep speaking the truth and appreciating music from all types of artists. Dude I sometimes cry at the music and your reactions. So real and so deep Keep on experiencing the meanings and be your own dude. Make your generation make us better as people and humans peace
Lmao Mike I’m an older woman !, 63 actually but I still listen to all music !! This is actually one all time favorite! I too stumbled onto this channel! These boys are awesome!!!! In time I will watch every one of these vids!
I only found these guys this morning and have spent the last 4 hours watching how they react to songs i've held dear to my heart for the past 40+ years. They are great. So wonderful to watch people hearing these tunes with such passion and the joy of discovery is palpable! :)
I love you so much! I’m surprised you like “Creep.” Creep says, “I don’t belong here.” Probably true, but you make everyone feel like they belong here. Thank you!
The break at 2:01: “You say you’re a creep, man. It’s cool to be not like everybody else, bruh… People had a concept where they gotta fit in, do everything, the most popular thing, but, nah man, be different, it ain’t a lot of people in this world they wanna be different, be leaders… I don’t care… I’m me, I’m my own personality… do what you want to do, you do what makes you happy… If that’s so you call me a creep, man?… I’m a creep, and I’m proud, I don’t care… Whatever make you happy, go do it, bruh. That’s facts.” Beautiful. You and your brother are both really beautiful people and share so much love. Thank you.
Hey @Trey Harris, these young men are interesting human beings who have something simple & beautiful to offer: Joy! No more no less. I thank them as well. Thank you too - for transcribing Tim's words. Its funny, by READING his words here I further sense honesty. THAT could not have been a pre-planned response. Just extemporaneous thoughts.

Radiohead is one of THOSE BANDS. The more you explore, the more incredible they become. This isn’t even close to their best, and it’s awesome And the episode of South Park that they were on it the best South Park episode ever.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It's so true, especially for all of us who have struggled to be ourselves even in our own families. Thank you for reacting to this song. "To thine own self be true."
^5 to Felecia! Perfect quote and my favorite of all time! This above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. These brothers are a great example of the Bard of Avon's classic words!
Grew up in the ghetto on Chicago's westside in the 70's. I was the creep weirdo at my high school because I dug rock/new wave/punk. All art - especially when it taps into human experience is soul music. Glad you love the message of this song and not afraid to stand up for being who you are and liking what you like.
Try The Smiths - “How Soon is Now”. “There’s a club where you’d like to go; You might meet somebody who really loves you; so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die”.
What a wonderful young man, so wise and open to new horizons - I'm 68 and addicted to watching these young guys as they spread the word to other young people that there is some great music out there!!!
I was a teenage white goth girl in Iowa when this song come out. So cool to see, all these years later, that it speaks to a young black man just as it spoke to me back then!
This young man doesn’t have to like every song he reacts to but the simple fact he is openminded enough to listen anything and even like songs in different genres is the true meaning of music. Keep doing you young man.
The song is not about not being afraid to be a creep or different. It's about a guy who feels like a nobody, a loser, and how he wishes this perfect girl would notice him. For listeners, I think, it's about being in that moment and feeling like that or remembering how you felt when you felt like a nobody. My girlfriend, now wife, asked me why do I like this sad song. I can't say for sure. Sometimes it feels good to feel sad, and cry, and just let go. I have nothing to be sad about now, but I definitely have felt like the singer did before.
This is one of the best songs on the planet that speaks to a lot of people like us that are different. Expanding musical knowledge with other genres helps to open our minds. 😊🎵🎼🎸
For real. A lot Ppl think it’s just a silly poppy song but it’s a complex song composition wise and vocally And yet still groovin. 90’s Funk when funk was in the back burner.
I remember the first time I heard Creep, as a shy and depressed teenage girl... I cannot begin to explain how this song is important to me. Thanks for sharing your reaction to it, I wanna cry 😭
Radiohead is my favorite band, and I’m an old 43 year old woman from CT. You react to music the same way I do when I’m feeling it, the scrunched up brows, the movement of hands, everything. I’ve never seen anyone else “feel” the music the way I do, and watching you react in a way that mirrors my own reactions, gave me goosebumps and made my hair stand up on end while listening to this song again. Thank you for these videos. I stumbled on your reaction to Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight,” and binged your videos and became a subscriber. Keep listening and appreciating music-it’s the thing that connects us all, and when it’s good, it touches something higher than us. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s there. If that makes us weirdos, so be it.
I really love how he gets into listening to music too. I'm totally the same way. With this song especially, it's almost like a sport for me. Lol. When I listen to this song I have to blare it. I get so into singing it; my brow furrows, forehead scrunches up, the rest of my face contorts all over the place and I start headbanging when the guitar really kicks in. More often than not it's a total body experience and it's not pretty. Lol It's such an emotionally powerful, cathartic song. Depending on the day I've had I'm either left crying or I feel much better afterwards. One of the best songs ever! Radiohead is one of very few bands/musical artists who actually sounded just as good if not better in concert than on their CD (yeah, that's right. I said CD 😃. I'm a 44 y/o Gen X-er and proud of it!) or whatever streaming service you use. They're easily one of the best concerts I ever went to. I really miss the 90s "alternative" music. It gave us some of the best music.
Roseanna R. Definitely!! I followed them around in my 20s lol. Mine is definitely the same experience as yours!! Daydreaming made me cry multiple times when first hearing it-they tapped into something with that song. Depending on the day, I choose the older, midway, or newer stuff. 😊
This came out when I was 13 years old and I immediately made sense to me then and still does at 40. Like what you like youngblood and forget what anyone else thinks.
I'm a 39-year-old white mom from a small little town, and a fellow "creep". If I "fit in" I would miss out on so much amazing stuff that other kinds of people have done. I had no idea that reaction videos were a whole "thing." You and your brother reacting to "Jolene" came up in my suggestions and I thought "This is AWESOME!" I spent hours going through some of your other videos. It's so cool that on the surface we have nothing in common, but underneath we love the same music for the same reasons (I know what it's like to get goosebumps from really good music). What keeps me coming back to your channel is the variety of music and your genuine emotion that you're not afraid to show. I think it's a really powerful thing you're doing through music--building bridges across culture and race--and I hope you keep it up...or maybe go on to do something even more powerful. I can tell from your emotional connection to music of all kinds that you're a smart, creative, empathetic and talented person. Stay safe, healthy, and keep being you. You're awesome.
I’m a 34 year old white Canadian, and the same video came up in my suggestions last week as well. I too went down the rabbit hole of all the videos. He is too pure, and puts me in such a great mood. At the end of the day, we likely have a lot more in common than what separates us. This guy clearly is emotionally intelligent with a big open heart. I wish him all the best in whatever his future holds
This is EXACTLY what happened to me this morning lol. "Jolene" came up, I watched their video and became an instant subscriber lol. I love watching young people enjoy great music of all genres and generations. I am a 56 uear old Grammy, a music head, and love every kind of music there is. I may not like every artist, but appreciate the dedication they all have to their craft. You young men keep inspiring others to expand thier minds and hearts! :)
Same for me. Jolene came up and I was done. Love that he's discovering so many wonderful songs that I love. Plus I've found a few new ones thru him to enjoy for myself.
You and your brother are the most wholesome people and it's such a gift that you're making content like this and sharing it with all of us. Also I really appreciate how you let yourself be emotional and really feel the music and show your emotional response to it, because that's a really vulnerable thing to do and it takes a lot of strength.
I love your message here, and I think it's really telling of the differences between teens now and teens in the '90s. I was a teen in the '90s, and this song really captures how a lot of us felt at the time. "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, everything's f*cked and I can't articulate why, so there must be something wrong with ME." and there are so many young people now who are so comfortable in who they are, it's amazing.
Precious one, you are nothing but the goodness!!! Tell your Mom I said she did something amazing, bringing you into this world. Long may you shine and dream!!!
Seeing someone get teary eyed hearing music (in this case music that I love and grew up with) made me cry as well. What a beautiful thing this channel is doing for the world.
Haha! Back in probably 94. I was 20.. Radiohead was in Seattle and came into our club and I gave Tom a lapdance. He was super SWEET AND SHY. His bandmate started dating one of the other dancers after that night. Those were CRAZY times.
You know a true genuine music lover when you drop the stank face, and him saying in another video he loves story teller songs.. me too! Some people are beat oriented some people focus on lyrics, it hits. Had the exact same expression as him when the music just hits right, love it.
You're a cool-ass dude, man. I don't see many Reactors looking at at Radiohead for some reason. I'm suggesting No Surprises and Fake Plastic Trees, both Radiohead songs.
it makes me sad to think some people only listen to one genre of music and dismiss everything else without hearing it. They’re missing out on some beautiful songs. You can enjoy anything from Mozart to Bob Marley if it’s good music.
Man. Watching your unadulterated joy in being exposed to new music is just everything we need right now. Music is so necessary for me, almost as much as breathing. This was the first Radiohead song I ever heard and it made me feel a little more like I belonged SOMEWHERE, even if it was among the other fringe dwellers.
There are too many great Radiohead songs and they have so many flavours. Some classics: Street Spirit, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Paranoid Android, You, All I Need, Myxomatosis, Where I End and You Begin - Live at the Basement ... watching Thom Yorke dance is so cool, it's like all the music is inside his body jumping around. I love hanging out with you and your brother - Thanks for the company, thanks for the sweetness :)
This song was revolutionary, about being who you are, sarcastic, self effacing, but full of truth about shallow people. Really one of the first voices for people who are different.
Why are you making me cry this morning? Try Cat Stevens "Morning has Broken" for a hopeful song. And look at his bio. He walked away at the height of his fame to dedicate himself to his Muslim faith. He was at the top and just booked it.
I guess I never fully realised that there were people who haven't heard these songs before.. Thank you for keeping an open mind, appreciating good music and getting others interested! You are helping to keep these songs alive 🖤💜💚💛🧡❤
Was having a shitty day cause of quarantine and all, and happened to come across your "Jolene" reaction vid on a friend's fb. 15 videos of yours later, I just wanna say thank you! Your love of music is palpable and it's really wonderful to watch someone else fall in love with music that I love too. I used to work in a few record stores (that managed to survive in the streaming era) and my favorite thing was getting to show people music they'd never heard before and seeing their excitement! It makes me fall in love with songs or artists all over again. I also really appreciate the variety of the music you react to and how open minded you are about all music. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and your brothers as you discover new music, it really turned my day around!
If you were a fan of this song, you cannot tell me that you weren't looking forward to that guitar just before the chorus. Man, and those vocals in the bridge of the song? Killer.
Bringing tears to my eyes, man, hearing how much you like this song, one of the greatest songs of all time in my book, and how its message really resonates with you. Keep listening to more great music, of all genres and all decades. It's great to know the older music, back to even the 50s and 60s, are on your radar.
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for saying what you did. I’ve always been a weirdo. I’m 37 years old and only this year was diagnosed with Autism. It explains so much about why I’m always the outcast. Since my diagnosis, I have been able to put things into perspective and I’m finally learning to love myself. It’s so awesome to see younger people encouraging others that it’s ok to be different. Your words could really help someone else here that maybe hasn’t ever heard that it’s ok to be different or weird. Love love love this.
I keep coming back to this channel bc you and your brother are so genuine, interesting and sweet. So many reactors seem like they're just going through the motions with not a lot to say. If I was a reactor, I can see not having as much to say about every song. But if all you're doing is watching a video and saying, "like and subscribe", you aren't trying. You guys are really putting your heart and soul into every video and it shows. You have something special and if someone can't watch your videos and see what it is, then idk what to tell them. Hardest part is getting noticed at the beginning I think. Anyone who says they've never felt like a creep is lying to themselves. This is such a relatable song.
Seeing you get excited when he hits that big ‘RUN’ towards the end. That’s why I watch these reaction vids. Just found you guys out but you’re already one of my favourites. Some real diversity on this channel
Your take on being a creep as being a leader was inspired. I've heard this song a zillion times and never came up with that. It's cool to hear a different take on it.
I’m a creep too.....a 74yr old Abuela/Grandma that loves this song and so appreciate you two. You have helped me get through these last few months and got me to subscribe...my first ever! ❤️You and your brother and your appreciation of music.
Love your reaction to Radiohead. They are one of my favorite bands ever. I love that you are open-minded to all music. Continue doing what you do. Your hopes and dreams will come true.
I just came across your channel today...I was your age when the music you are finding so moving was coming out. I saw Hendrix live, saw the Doors live and I wish beyond wish that I could have seen Queen live. Your reactions to hearing this music for the first time actually thrill me to the point of tears. I LOVE music and I can feel your love of every nuance that don't always get appreciated like the instrumental breaks in the music. I could go on and on about how much I appreciate YOU and how happy I am seeing a young man truly connect with what he is hearing. You're a very special young man and I'm so glad for YOU that you decided to listen to some older music. There was a terrible unpopular war going on during some of this music and many young men got drafted and had to go fight a war...many got killed. Keep up the good work, I'm going to watch you enjoy music that I have loved for 50 of my 73 years and enjoy it as much as you are doing all over again. Thank you for that!
World would be better if everyone stepped out of their box and tried things themselves before judging. Good tunes are good tunes, Can find them in every genre
Damn. There’s something really unique and fun about watching the younger generation listen to some of my favorite songs from growing up and seeing you vibe on that just as much as me. This song is still fire.
WORD!!! I sure af don't wanna be like a lot of the people on this planet judging tf out of people! Hatin' anyone and everyone who aren't like they are... smh
U probably won’t see this but you’re so special .. I love that you love music no matter what kind it is .. it’s so fun to watch u get excited about music ..👍❤️music brings people together .. we need more of that on this world ..
You keep on keeping on man. Your reactions are genuine and honest. Love it. Just sat here listening to your reactions and the music for the last 3 hours. Banging.
The singer Thom Yorke has several solo albums. His album “The Erasure” helped me make it through Chemo and radiation. The music took me out of myself, took me away from the pain.
I'm a 52 y/o elementary teacher. Recently discovered you. Love love your channel! I have vinyls and CDs, yes I said vinyl and cds 😂, of music from opera to metal and everything in between. I preach to my students all the time to always be yourself. I think listening to different kinds of music not only gives you respect for differences but appreciation of differences. Keep doing what you are doing! You make me smile. 💜💜💜
By the time I watched this video, you had more than 400k subscribers, me included. I just stumbled upon you today, but I’m hooked. I love your genuine reactions. It reminds me of introducing my nieces (near your age) to music for the first time. It’s a joy to watch the effect the music has on you and to recall my own reactions the first time I heard the songs.
This I one if my 'never fails me' songs. I've listened to it since it was released but seeing you take it all in and have your perspective is just mind blowing. I'm absolutely loving your interpretation of my teenage anthems.. Love and respect x
What an amazing, original, and inspiring concept you came up with man...being so open minded to all types of music and songs and people getting to see the music through your eyes for the first time is a cool...definitely an example of how alike we all really are and such a great source of light man...always do you and thank you!!
I've watched several of your videos for songs I listened to when they were new, so it's neat to see your reaction. Music is universal. Keep doing your thing, man.
It started the other night with Phil Collins.. this was my first experience of you.. Three hours later I found myself sitting on my sofa at 3am still watching you and singing along to Jolene with the biggest smile.. I don’t know why.. but watching you experience so many different artists/songs (most of which I’ve loved for a long time) makes my heart so happy.. Watching you makes me happy. On paper we have nothing in common but watching you I feel we do.. the same emotion, the same empathy, the same respect and appreciation of music which just moves our soul.. When you cry - I cry, when you do your “appreciation-face” I smile.. Thank you for being you, thank you for sharing yourself with the world and thank you for keeping me company during lockdown in Auckland, New Zealand. You are AMAZING..! ❤️❤️❤️
Dude I love your videos, the songs you chose, and your commentary. It's so relatable to so many people. Your music love shines through! Keep up the great work!
I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo! So true too and who wants to be boring and normal just to fit in...be who you really are and be proud of it
Here's a twist... it's normal to be yourself. It's weird to blindly follow.
@@JiltedValkyrieA nice twist, and you're right... it's weird to follow the flock, if you don't want to be one of the sheep! 🐑

Old white chick and musician here. Love these guys!! 🤟❤🤟
Lmao Mike I’m an older woman !, 63 actually but I still listen to all music !! This is actually one all time favorite! I too stumbled onto this channel! These boys are awesome!!!! In time I will watch every one of these vids!
I only found these guys this morning and have spent the last 4 hours watching how they react to songs i've held dear to my heart for the past 40+ years. They are great. So wonderful to watch people hearing these tunes with such passion and the joy of discovery is palpable! :)
I was gonna reply to the video but said it all for me, Mike. *old white dude elbow bumb*
Old black chick over here feeling the same way. Love this!🤗😭❤
I love you so much! I’m surprised you like “Creep.”
Creep says, “I don’t belong here.” Probably true, but you make everyone feel like they belong here. Thank you!
That is very true, this channel feels like a place everyone can belong.
So many people then and now think Sinead is a creep but that is why I love her along with that damn voice!
well said.
Radiohead is saying it as a protest to people's judgement, it's meant to prove the point that we all belong here :)
Thom Yorke's vocals don't seem like anything special - until you try to sing along and realise how fucken DIFFICULT it is to keep up with him.
He has the voice of an angel
he works really hard for this, he has an absolute control of his voice
The break at 2:01: “You say you’re a creep, man. It’s cool to be not like everybody else, bruh… People had a concept where they gotta fit in, do everything, the most popular thing, but, nah man, be different, it ain’t a lot of people in this world they wanna be different, be leaders… I don’t care… I’m me, I’m my own personality… do what you want to do, you do what makes you happy… If that’s so you call me a creep, man?… I’m a creep, and I’m proud, I don’t care… Whatever make you happy, go do it, bruh. That’s facts.” Beautiful. You and your brother are both really beautiful people and share so much love. Thank you.
Their parents must be wonderful people and very proud
💯
Hey @Trey Harris, these young men are interesting human beings who have something simple & beautiful to offer: Joy! No more no less. I thank them as well.
Thank you too - for transcribing Tim's words. Its funny, by READING his words here I further sense honesty. THAT could not have been a pre-planned response. Just extemporaneous thoughts. Its his altruistic revelations like this that connect us to him. Again, Joy!
This channel can bring generations together. LOVE!
Check out Roadhouse Blues by The Doors.
Watching with my son. ❤️❤️❤️
Your not wrong there 🤟🏻
Word
Devin Nunes' Cows Brother saaaaame
Radiohead is one of THOSE BANDS. The more you explore, the more incredible they become. This isn’t even close to their best, and it’s awesome
And the episode of South Park that they were on it the best South Park episode ever.
Exactly. This is only the tip of the iceberg of radiohead. This was radiohead in the cacoon, not the butterfly.
"This song's different". Welcome to Radiohead buddy
creep has nothing to do with the rest of radiohead imo:)) they’re so much different than creep..
Radiohead is The best band
I love OK Computer
@@elif-py1gt fax, compare this hit to something like Everything in its Right Place lmao

Crying right now lol
Felicia, I am exactly the same. I commented that it made me feel like I belonged somewhere, at least. Even if it was among other fringe dwellers. 🖤
Grew up in the ghetto on Chicago's westside in the 70's. I was the creep weirdo at my high school because I dug rock/new wave/punk. All art - especially when it taps into human experience is soul music. Glad you love the message of this song and not afraid to stand up for being who you are and liking what you like.
How cool were you?!
Cranberries "Zombie"!!! Keep it up, it's really fun re-experiencing these beloved songs with you!
Try The Smiths - “How Soon is Now”.
“There’s a club where you’d like to go;
You might meet somebody who really loves you; so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die”.
Just the monster electronica riff is worth it.
Johnny Marr is a legend. That rolling guitar riff is epic.
My favourite song by The Smiths and I particularly love that line.
Yessssss. Must listen to that
You’re a ‘music feeler’ and I love it so much. ❤️
Never heard that term but that is so me too😅👌
This has got to be the best explanation for it. ❤️
this part!
Yes! Feeling the music.
Kim B that is a perfect way to describe Tim!! He just feels music in his soul. 💕🎼
What a wonderful young man, so wise and open to new horizons - I'm 68 and addicted to watching these young guys as they spread the word to other young people that there is some great music out there!!!
I love people who love music PERIOD!!! This is one of my favorite songs. Glad you liked it! 👊🏼
I absolutely love this Kid! He has opened his mind! Like he said he stepped out and is being himself ! Owne it! Love yourself!
Music is powerful.
Check out “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinéad O'Connor, which was written by Prince. 😊
Prince was probably one of the most prolific song writers of an entire generation(s). His was an unmatched talent...
I never knew it was written by Prince!
@@michelled1161 Manic Monday written by Prince performed by the Bangles
Awesome idea
Or better yet Prince singing it and not SO.
I was a teenage white goth girl in Iowa when this song come out. So cool to see, all these years later, that it speaks to a young black man just as it spoke to me back then!
Same. 16 year old girl in a club I wasn't supposed to be in obvs and when it came on and the entire club lost it. Intense clear memory.
I was both and character dressing in the 70s. I'm definitely a creep too. Glad to meet you.
I was that white girl inTexas. This young man’s reactions are pure joy!
Iowa here too!
This young man doesn’t have to like every song he reacts to but the simple fact he is openminded enough to listen anything and even like songs in different genres is the true meaning of music. Keep doing you young man.
The song is not about not being afraid to be a creep or different. It's about a guy who feels like a nobody, a loser, and how he wishes this perfect girl would notice him. For listeners, I think, it's about being in that moment and feeling like that or remembering how you felt when you felt like a nobody. My girlfriend, now wife, asked me why do I like this sad song. I can't say for sure. Sometimes it feels good to feel sad, and cry, and just let go. I have nothing to be sad about now, but I definitely have felt like the singer did before.
You gotta listen to The Violent Femmes “Blister in the Sun”, that shit slaps!
Agreed, as a 63 year old nana, this song touches a core in everyone.
That song always puts me in a good mood! I need that right now - thank you for the reminder. Truly
Yas! The whole album really.
Yes!!
Please!!!
This is one of the best songs on the planet that speaks to a lot of people like us that are different. Expanding musical knowledge with other genres helps to open our minds. 😊🎵🎼🎸
I’ve been frequenting RUclips since the beginning, and I must say- your channel is the absolute BEST thing to ever happen to this video forum.
Agreed!
I’m enjoying your journey
This song caught on like fire because hardly anyone feels like they fit in. He's expressing for a lot of people.
"I'm a creep, but I'm proud." Well said.
you guys are amazing- would love to see you react to Dee-lite’s “Groove is in the Heart” if you haven’t already
Kathleen Keller That’s an awesome song!
One of my favourite songs :)
great suggestion!
YASSS
For real. A lot Ppl think it’s just a silly poppy song but it’s a complex song composition wise and vocally And yet still groovin. 90’s Funk when funk was in the back burner.
I remember the first time I heard Creep, as a shy and depressed teenage girl... I cannot begin to explain how this song is important to me. Thanks for sharing your reaction to it, I wanna cry 😭
Radiohead is my favorite band, and I’m an old 43 year old woman from CT. You react to music the same way I do when I’m feeling it, the scrunched up brows, the movement of hands, everything. I’ve never seen anyone else “feel” the music the way I do, and watching you react in a way that mirrors my own reactions, gave me goosebumps and made my hair stand up on end while listening to this song again. Thank you for these videos. I stumbled on your reaction to Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight,” and binged your videos and became a subscriber. Keep listening and appreciating music-it’s the thing that connects us all, and when it’s good, it touches something higher than us. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s there. If that makes us weirdos, so be it.
Yup.
I really love how he gets into listening to music too. I'm totally the same way. With this song especially, it's almost like a sport for me. Lol. When I listen to this song I have to blare it. I get so into singing it; my brow furrows, forehead scrunches up, the rest of my face contorts all over the place and I start headbanging when the guitar really kicks in. More often than not it's a total body experience and it's not pretty. Lol
It's such an emotionally powerful, cathartic song. Depending on the day I've had I'm either left crying or I feel much better afterwards. One of the best songs ever! Radiohead is one of very few bands/musical artists who actually sounded just as good if not better in concert than on their CD (yeah, that's right. I said CD 😃. I'm a 44 y/o Gen X-er and proud of it!) or whatever streaming service you use. They're easily one of the best concerts I ever went to. I really miss the 90s "alternative" music. It gave us some of the best music.
Antonio S thank you!
Roseanna R. Definitely!! I followed them around in my 20s lol. Mine is definitely the same experience as yours!! Daydreaming made me cry multiple times when first hearing it-they tapped into something with that song. Depending on the day, I choose the older, midway, or newer stuff. 😊
Another 90's gem. Would love to see a Bittersweet Symphony reaction, by The Verve.
YESSS!!! Awesome song!
YESSSS!!!!!!!
Yes again!
OMG, definitely!
YES to Bittersweet Symphony!
This came out when I was 13 years old and I immediately made sense to me then and still does at 40. Like what you like youngblood and forget what anyone else thinks.
Yay I suggested this one
Denise Allen yeah you and 200 other people
@@frame3139 right you are. Thank you for pointing me out
Great choice. I shouldn't be surprised at the emotional reaction he had. Also, what a sweet, wise young man he is.
In my top 10 ❤️✌️
There is a singer on BGT who sings this and makes your hair stand on end. Great song!
I'm a 39-year-old white mom from a small little town, and a fellow "creep". If I "fit in" I would miss out on so much amazing stuff that other kinds of people have done. I had no idea that reaction videos were a whole "thing." You and your brother reacting to "Jolene" came up in my suggestions and I thought "This is AWESOME!" I spent hours going through some of your other videos. It's so cool that on the surface we have nothing in common, but underneath we love the same music for the same reasons (I know what it's like to get goosebumps from really good music). What keeps me coming back to your channel is the variety of music and your genuine emotion that you're not afraid to show. I think it's a really powerful thing you're doing through music--building bridges across culture and race--and I hope you keep it up...or maybe go on to do something even more powerful. I can tell from your emotional connection to music of all kinds that you're a smart, creative, empathetic and talented person. Stay safe, healthy, and keep being you. You're awesome.
I’m a 34 year old white Canadian, and the same video came up in my suggestions last week as well. I too went down the rabbit hole of all the videos. He is too pure, and puts me in such a great mood. At the end of the day, we likely have a lot more in common than what separates us. This guy clearly is emotionally intelligent with a big open heart. I wish him all the best in whatever his future holds
This is EXACTLY what happened to me this morning lol. "Jolene" came up, I watched their video and became an instant subscriber lol. I love watching young people enjoy great music of all genres and generations. I am a 56 uear old Grammy, a music head, and love every kind of music there is. I may not like every artist, but appreciate the dedication they all have to their craft. You young men keep inspiring others to expand thier minds and hearts! :)
Im 43. These are my anthems.
He does them more than justice.
44 and the exact same thing happened to me and I'm not the least bit sorry. Love these boys! They're making my heart happy :)
Same for me. Jolene came up and I was done. Love that he's discovering so many wonderful songs that I love. Plus I've found a few new ones thru him to enjoy for myself.
You and your brother are the most wholesome people and it's such a gift that you're making content like this and sharing it with all of us. Also I really appreciate how you let yourself be emotional and really feel the music and show your emotional response to it, because that's a really vulnerable thing to do and it takes a lot of strength.
I love your message here, and I think it's really telling of the differences between teens now and teens in the '90s. I was a teen in the '90s, and this song really captures how a lot of us felt at the time. "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, everything's f*cked and I can't articulate why, so there must be something wrong with ME." and there are so many young people now who are so comfortable in who they are, it's amazing.
Precious one, you are nothing but the goodness!!! Tell your Mom I said she did something amazing, bringing you into this world. Long may you shine and dream!!!
Seeing someone get teary eyed hearing music (in this case music that I love and grew up with) made me cry as well. What a beautiful thing this channel is doing for the world.
"you be you" -- absolutely. That's what makes our country culturally rich.
Haha! Back in probably 94. I was 20.. Radiohead was in Seattle and came into our club and I gave Tom a lapdance. He was super SWEET AND SHY. His bandmate started dating one of the other dancers after that night. Those were CRAZY times.
You know a true genuine music lover when you drop the stank face, and him saying in another video he loves story teller songs.. me too! Some people are beat oriented some people focus on lyrics, it hits. Had the exact same expression as him when the music just hits right, love it.
You're a cool-ass dude, man. I don't see many Reactors looking at at Radiohead for some reason. I'm suggesting No Surprises and Fake Plastic Trees, both Radiohead songs.
Literally two of the most beautiful, emotional songs ever written
Excuse me while I go listen to No Surprises.
I was going to suggest paranoid android because it’s so epic, but no surprises 💜
I think their best song is Last Flowers - stunning.
it makes me sad to think some people only listen to one genre of music and dismiss everything else without hearing it. They’re missing out on some beautiful songs. You can enjoy anything from Mozart to Bob Marley if it’s good music.
Man. Watching your unadulterated joy in being exposed to new music is just everything we need right now. Music is so necessary for me, almost as much as breathing.
This was the first Radiohead song I ever heard and it made me feel a little more like I belonged SOMEWHERE, even if it was among the other fringe dwellers.
There are too many great Radiohead songs and they have so many flavours. Some classics: Street Spirit, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Paranoid Android, You, All I Need, Myxomatosis, Where I End and You Begin - Live at the Basement ... watching Thom Yorke dance is so cool, it's like all the music is inside his body jumping around. I love hanging out with you and your brother - Thanks for the company, thanks for the sweetness :)
This song was revolutionary, about being who you are, sarcastic, self effacing, but full of truth about shallow people. Really one of the first voices for people who are different.
He made this song for a girl he could not approach in school, she was perfect and he felt like a creep!!! Love it!!!
Why are you making me cry this morning? Try Cat Stevens "Morning has Broken" for a hopeful song. And look at his bio. He walked away at the height of his fame to dedicate himself to his Muslim faith. He was at the top and just booked it.
I guess I never fully realised that there were people who haven't heard these songs before..
Thank you for keeping an open mind, appreciating good music and getting others interested!
You are helping to keep these songs alive 🖤💜💚💛🧡❤
You got God, and You be YOU... mic drop! Today you were mentioned as the "Person of the Week", on AM JOY, (MSNBC) You hit it big... enjoy the ride :)
laurie mullay And Joy Reid has Chris Matthew’s old spot - so happy to see multiple people I respect hit the big time!
Was having a shitty day cause of quarantine and all, and happened to come across your "Jolene" reaction vid on a friend's fb. 15 videos of yours later, I just wanna say thank you! Your love of music is palpable and it's really wonderful to watch someone else fall in love with music that I love too. I used to work in a few record stores (that managed to survive in the streaming era) and my favorite thing was getting to show people music they'd never heard before and seeing their excitement! It makes me fall in love with songs or artists all over again. I also really appreciate the variety of the music you react to and how open minded you are about all music. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and your brothers as you discover new music, it really turned my day around!
If you were a fan of this song, you cannot tell me that you weren't looking forward to that guitar just before the chorus. Man, and those vocals in the bridge of the song? Killer.
I missed Radiohead at the time, i think my friends listened. I am so glad i found this channel and finally heared this song. LOVE IT.
You're likeable because you're genuine. This was my anthem as a teenager (& still now). Huge radiohead fan!
Bringing tears to my eyes, man, hearing how much you like this song, one of the greatest songs of all time in my book, and how its message really resonates with you. Keep listening to more great music, of all genres and all decades. It's great to know the older music, back to even the 50s and 60s, are on your radar.
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for saying what you did. I’ve always been a weirdo. I’m 37 years old and only this year was diagnosed with Autism. It explains so much about why I’m always the outcast. Since my diagnosis, I have been able to put things into perspective and I’m finally learning to love myself. It’s so awesome to see younger people encouraging others that it’s ok to be different. Your words could really help someone else here that maybe hasn’t ever heard that it’s ok to be different or weird. Love love love this.
I keep coming back to this channel bc you and your brother are so genuine, interesting and sweet. So many reactors seem like they're just going through the motions with not a lot to say. If I was a reactor, I can see not having as much to say about every song. But if all you're doing is watching a video and saying, "like and subscribe", you aren't trying. You guys are really putting your heart and soul into every video and it shows. You have something special and if someone can't watch your videos and see what it is, then idk what to tell them. Hardest part is getting noticed at the beginning I think.
Anyone who says they've never felt like a creep is lying to themselves. This is such a relatable song.
Seeing you get excited when he hits that big ‘RUN’ towards the end. That’s why I watch these reaction vids. Just found you guys out but you’re already one of my favourites. Some real diversity on this channel
My fist was moving with his and I remembered the RUN and I got so exited for him
It's crazy when a singer just belts it out, all the way from their toes. So powerful that it just speaks to people no matter who you are
Your take on being a creep as being a leader was inspired. I've heard this song a zillion times and never came up with that. It's cool to hear a different take on it.
Your reaction to these songs, makes me feel like I’m reliving listening to these for the first time. Love it!
I’m a creep too.....a 74yr old Abuela/Grandma that loves this song and so appreciate you two. You have helped me get through these last few months and got me to subscribe...my first ever! ❤️You and your brother and your appreciation of music.
Please react to "Bjork - it's oh so quiet"
a real weird and beautiful artist with such an unique song
Oooooh yes, Björk!!! „ A new World“ would be cool too!
Yeah hear voice and videos would trip him out :)
Bjork - Hunter
oooh bjork is a gooood suggestion. talk abt a different song. Oh So Quiet is a great one
@@MariaCarabin or Kate Bush! Wuthering Heights!
Came for the reaction, stayed just to hear Radiohead. This song still touches me like the first time I heard it.
Thom Yorke, the lead singer for Radiohead, is one of the world’s best songwriters and lyricists. Every one of their songs is worth a listen.
One of the best songs ever written this was 👌 perfect
'Karma Police' is my fav from them, check it...
Yasss!
Listening to the ending of Karma Police with good headphones on--DAMN!
Yes!!
Anything off In Rainbows is their best...Videotape is incredible. 15 Step a fave also...fave band so there are waaaay too many to choose from
You need to listen to “Linger” by The Cranberries.
Yes!
Yes linger I agree
@Kris Moodley Linger is better
Yes!!!
Listen to Zombie by the Cranberries for sure!
This song is everything. Gets me every time. Thanks for listening.
Love your reaction to Radiohead. They are one of my favorite bands ever. I love that you are open-minded to all music. Continue doing what you do. Your hopes and dreams will come true.
Dude's voice just gives me goosebumps! Nice pick!
I have loved this song for a long time, and I absolutely loved your reaction...
I just came across your channel today...I was your age when the music you are finding so moving was coming out. I saw Hendrix live, saw the Doors live and I wish beyond wish that I could have seen Queen live. Your reactions to hearing this music for the first time actually thrill me to the point of tears. I LOVE music and I can feel your love of every nuance that don't always get appreciated like the instrumental breaks in the music. I could go on and on about how much I appreciate YOU and how happy I am seeing a young man truly connect with what he is hearing. You're a very special young man and I'm so glad for YOU that you decided to listen to some older music. There was a terrible unpopular war going on during some of this music and many young men got drafted and had to go fight a war...many got killed. Keep up the good work, I'm going to watch you enjoy music that I have loved for 50 of my 73 years and enjoy it as much as you are doing all over again. Thank you for that!
I am a 52 year old woman and I love watching y’all so much! I love seeing how the music touches you. Keep it up! ❤️
World would be better if everyone stepped out of their box and tried things themselves before judging. Good tunes are good tunes,
Can find them in every genre
Damn. There’s something really unique and fun about watching the younger generation listen to some of my favorite songs from growing up and seeing you vibe on that just as much as me. This song is still fire.
Watching this young guy respond to this song like all of us did in the 90s the first time we heard it almost makes me cry. Love it.
By far one of the best songs ever written
The world needs more open minded people like you son... Keep up the great work...
I've always been a bit odd. When I get called a weirdo I take it as a compliment. Being like everyone else is boring AF.
I Definitely Hear That!! This Song Definitely Touches My 58 Year Old Soul where I had to Cover it on RUclips!!
Told my kids, be what you want just dont want to be fucking normal for fuck sake! They're both wierd like their dad.......
WORD!!! I sure af don't wanna be like a lot of the people on this planet judging tf out of people! Hatin' anyone and everyone who aren't like they are... smh
When people call me weird, I look at them with joy and say “Thank you!” Makes them think I am even weirder, but I don’t need normies in my life.
U probably won’t see this but you’re so special .. I love that you love music no matter what kind it is .. it’s so fun to watch u get excited about music ..👍❤️music brings people together .. we need more of that on this world ..
You keep on keeping on man. Your reactions are genuine and honest. Love it. Just sat here listening to your reactions and the music for the last 3 hours. Banging.
The singer Thom Yorke has several solo albums. His album “The Erasure” helped me make it through Chemo and radiation. The music took me out of myself, took me away from the pain.
Some great songs on that album! All the best with the recovery
Glad ur still here!! God Bless
I'm a 52 y/o elementary teacher. Recently discovered you. Love love your channel! I have vinyls and CDs, yes I said vinyl and cds 😂, of music from opera to metal and everything in between. I preach to my students all the time to always be yourself. I think listening to different kinds of music not only gives you respect for differences but appreciation of differences. Keep doing what you are doing! You make me smile. 💜💜💜
By the time I watched this video, you had more than 400k subscribers, me included. I just stumbled upon you today, but I’m hooked. I love your genuine reactions. It reminds me of introducing my nieces (near your age) to music for the first time. It’s a joy to watch the effect the music has on you and to recall my own reactions the first time I heard the songs.
This I one if my 'never fails me' songs. I've listened to it since it was released but seeing you take it all in and have your perspective is just mind blowing. I'm absolutely loving your interpretation of my teenage anthems.. Love and respect x
I literally Love your reactions!!!! Thank you so much for your open mindedness....others Will catch your attitude....bless you sweetheart!!!
Everyone who hears Radiohead for the first time at least raises their eyebrows stunned at how good it is keep listening though is more.
Fatova Mingus so so true. I reacted to most of Kid A this way
What an amazing, original, and inspiring concept you came up with man...being so open minded to all types of music and songs and people getting to see the music through your eyes for the first time is a cool...definitely an example of how alike we all really are and such a great source of light man...always do you and thank you!!
I've watched several of your videos for songs I listened to when they were new, so it's neat to see your reaction. Music is universal. Keep doing your thing, man.
Check out Zombie by the Cranberries!!
🙏🏻
Yes!! 💕
Yes I think the twins will appreciate the Cranberries
Yes!
Yes!!
You need to find the version of this song that PRINCE did -- he turned the whole thing around and it was genius.
Prince and Rosie Gaines. Yes, it is fantastic. I loved when he sang with her . .Diamonds & Pearl's another great song!
I love how you understood the message, I love even more that you stopped to address the message. Keep them coming my guy!
It started the other night with Phil Collins.. this was my first experience of you.. Three hours later I found myself sitting on my sofa at 3am still watching you and singing along to Jolene with the biggest smile.. I don’t know why.. but watching you experience so many different artists/songs (most of which I’ve loved for a long time) makes my heart so happy.. Watching you makes me happy. On paper we have nothing in common but watching you I feel we do.. the same emotion, the same empathy, the same respect and appreciation of music which just moves our soul.. When you cry - I cry, when you do your “appreciation-face” I smile.. Thank you for being you, thank you for sharing yourself with the world and thank you for keeping me company during lockdown in Auckland, New Zealand. You are AMAZING..! ❤️❤️❤️
This song was played on my best friend's funeral, he wanted it to be played. It was a suicide. Thom Yorke's voice always gets me 😔
Damn, that's heart-wrenching. I am so sorry for the loss of your best friend.
@@donnadorris57 Thank you Donna 💔
I think you discovered the rock n roll in your soul ❤️
Watching your responses to music that is new to you warms my heart! Please keep doing what makes you happy!!! It's a blessing!!!
Dude I love your videos, the songs you chose, and your commentary. It's so relatable to so many people. Your music love shines through! Keep up the great work!
