I reckon this is one of the best things he's ever written. They're going to have to be very careful to capture the simple beauty of this piece when they record it.
+Aqua Azumarill It's still growing on me! It's one of my favorite songs on the album, but I am still getting into it. I listened to this version (live at Latitude 2009) probably 60 times or more, so it's going to take many listen of the album version before I'm completely used to it. The choral stuff (or is that just Thom + effects? It's hard to tell!) in the latter half of the song is fantastic, though! I try to reserve my judgements about new Radiohead albums, because they often take me months to fully appreciate. I don't understand how reviewers can listen to it once or twice and come to some grand conclusion. Although the album isn't as lively as KoL (I really liked most of KoL, a lot of people didn't...), the overall sound and vibe is exactly what I like. Favorite songs so far: Ful Stop, Indentikit, Present Tense, The Numbers. What are your thoughts?
decks dark is really nice too I like studio version of this song more though cause I listened to it before I checked out this one I guess it depends on which one u listen to first maybe wat do u say
I love the album version - the first time I heard it I thought they'd ruined it with the Samba vibe. But after a couple of listens it really works. I think one of the main things that makes this version work is that you can see so much emotion on Thom's face... he is completely drowned in the song.
+chrisjhart221138 I had the same first reaction, but in the end it adds a kind of humor and intimacy, the samba vibe. I like both versions. This one's darkly beautiful, and the other one has this little smile cracked behind it.
See, that is wrong! you have to embrace other styles of music! Im not saying all the genres or that you are a "limited person" for not like that thing that they add to the song at your very first listen(besides anyone that listen radiohead is a genius, so good for you hah). Radiohead is a band that it's always bringing something new and pretty to listen for the listener. We have to be more open to the things that music offers to us, because, if you think like I do, part of doing music is for the people, to keep moving (like thom says) and get over all the shitty things that can happen to you. I hope do not take my opinion as a critisize to your thougths, I respect them!. Like we said in my country: Abrazo! (hug :) )
This guy is a incredible. To write this kind of melodic stuff with such off-kilter chord progressions and still have it hit you like a breadknife in the heart isn't just talented, it's genius. And he does it again and again!
It is absolutely amazing that so much talent, emotion, and thorough understanding of the human condition can all be concentrated in one individual. If only we all could do what we were meant to do on this earth.
I’ve been watching this pretty much weekly for ten years and the goosebumps never stop coming.. If you were lucky enough to see this live then you must’ve not been able to move for goosebumps!
Fucking incredible . Present Tense may be the greatest song Thom has ever written. This performance magical. Studio version is just as incredible. Compliment each other , perfectly.
Even stripped back like this in it's earliest form this is an incredibly beautiful song. The finalised album version is one of my favourite RH songs ever, and I've got every single album, tons of other stuff and I've seen them live 5 times. Not gonna lie - I cried when I saw them play this live! lol
God bless you tvoronina for being there and filming this. Half the views are mine. I swear this is the most open and direct song Thom has ever written. He sounds so naked.Raw as hell.
@@twod0ves I may be kinda late ;) But for me, it’s explained by the sound of an album version, it’s very quiet and flowing Like it wouldn’t fit, if he sang it loud on album version
Thom Yorke is a very talented singer and songwriter..one of the best...beautiful poetry put to music...can't think of anyone better...except Radiohead's singer/songwriter. " smiling biggly !!! "
I have been posting music online for more than 15 years. With all the people I meat and kiss and date, I know there is someone out there stuck, listening to my music, and in that moment they feel free. Im thinking of you and I love you. I will always be here for you
i guess this song was dedicated to Rachel Owen , wich for that time (2009) was his wife, she died on 2016, i think that's why the group put the song in the album , Actually a moon shaped Pool was dedicated to Rachel
The great thing about Radiohead / Thom Yorke is the fact that if and when he / they ever release this song as an album track, it will probably be barely recognisable to the way he plays it here... but it will be equally incredible. It's not fair that one person can have this much talent. But I'm pleased :-)
i had the honor of meeting thom once after a soundcheck and i must say that in addition to being an amazing talent, he is also one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
I think they both have their merits. I prefer this one for its raw emotion (plus I've been listening to it since 09 thanks to this upload) but as the song is about someone putting on a brave face as their world falls apart, the other is more tonally appropriate.
Sounds great, feels that all ghosts in your deepest insides are running, escaping from the void to shut down in a silence, like in a beatiful garden where music and nature grows, where the no words or sights, where begin your days near perfect sky, sky that is the mirror of you
He looks so professional! Like the perfect musician, messy hair, clumsy beard and an mysterious look. Perfect! And it's really impressive to hear his vocal Thumbs up
I always loved vocal exploding at 3:08, but it would not fit in the album's overall tone and I think that's why Thom lowered the melody. Still I miss that.
one of the many songs of his and of Radiohead that have felt that it knew me like my breath... that it went through me like atomization... that it spoke me like my dna. luckily i was in my room alone when this one hit me first. i remember years ago having to pull over in my car as i started sobbing when i put the newly bought Kid A CD in the player... and heard it start... i stayed pulled over sobbing until it was over... learned not to be in public when i hear a new Yorke, or Radiohead song....
Thom you are the man, take a good long break from the fast lane and touring, rest up take some ayahuasca and please write another radiohead record with BEAUTIFUL songs on it, including present tense! I love you but I need In Rainbows part II in my life SOOO BAD
his voice is so beautiful. if i could sing like him, i would sing all the time. and so much emotion in a performance. A true genius,, and of pure talent.
The fact that everyone here obviously feels so strongly about there favourite head album just proves how important and inspiring their music is!! Give me any radiohead album at any time of any day an I'll be a happy fellow. Peace
You guys need to stop arguing and close your eyes, put on some good headphones and LISTEN to this song in all its majesty. Thom Yorke... the greatest musician of our time.
His voice doesn't sound anywhere near as good now as it did back then. I kind of wish they put this song on King of Limbs so they could get it while Thom's voice was a bit younger.
i was the same way actually. it seems like when i first listen to a radiohead album, the songs that i tolerate initially end up being my favorites after about 20 plays. i dont know about you guys, but it takes me more than one play to really truly grasp and appreciate a radiohead song. they just keep giving.
I reckon this is one of the best things he's ever written. They're going to have to be very careful to capture the simple beauty of this piece when they record it.
this comment has aged well
i agree, but i am sorry to inform you that they failed to capture the simple beauty of this song in the studio version.
@@orrihrafnsson471 the studio version is a masterpiece
@@orrihrafnsson471sorry to inform you, they absolutely did
the studio version butchered the beautiful harmony of the climax.
"In you I'm lost" is the best lyric ever written.
and "immerse your soul in love"
It is....isn’t it? 3:11 on is gold
Murrrrrrrrrr
No
No
I have a tattoo on my arm that says, IN YOU IM LOST. thats how much i love this song
Honestly, if I were to make a tatoo, it would have to be that as well
this is my fave song from the new album
me too
me too
Sing sing sing
Me too :D
Ashley Kendall And this is my fave song despite the album
god, i love how obvious his emotions are. he's such a touching performer.
One of Thom's finest moments...
The raw emotion in his voice makes this still my favorite version of this song.
The last 30 seconds too it seems like he's holding back so much just to keep the performance going.
One of my absolute favorite Thom Yorke songs....makes me cry every time.
+t4exanadu soon to be a radiohead track!
How do you know that? I hope so, it's one of my favorites.
+t4exanadu So what do you think about the stuido version of it? / The new album?

For a long time I have maintained that this is the best version, without a doubt.
i feel so lucky i was there, he was fantasic as expected. the best artist in the world today.

Matias Bianco And after all, which Radio album you liked just as the first listen (except In Rainbow haha, that damned masterpiece) , right?
This really is his best vocal on this one, the first ever public performance of it.
has he ever sung THIS emotionally? this is like a rock hitting on my chest. I'm breathless.
My god. I love this performance so much. He makes me cry..
This guy is a incredible.

Adrian Santana good eye my bad
Thank god you recorded this. Is pure gold
this song marked me so much the first time I heard it, I just can't believe we can have a Radiohead version of it on LP9
+Thayslan Costa I was expecting it on lp8.. hard to believe that was 5 years ago.
+Stitch Grimly this x2
You're happy? ;)
Happy 10 birthday favourite song
I'm here for the 10th birthday too!
i can't stop listening to this. his emotion's super intense. wow.
Incredible, chilling, and pure
His expression is great.
The whole thing gives me chills.
I love this man to death.
I don't understand why Yorke isn't more known than he is ... This is pure gold! No, pure Diamond.
Because he touches certain part of the souls that common people don't have.
@@georgebalza yes...

Top of the Perfection: 3:05
and I can't understand why that didn't get to the album version!
Haven't heard it yet but they said he changed it.
you can barely hear it. don't know why they downplayed it so much
stcrude they certainly did, hearing from the album there's not one bit of the emotion shown here
@@twod0ves I may be kinda late ;)

thom is definitely from another planet. no one can touch him. just look at him, he looks like he's in a world we can't go to.
i guess this song was dedicated to Rachel Owen , wich for that time (2009) was his wife, she died on 2016,
i think that's why the group put the song in the album , Actually a moon shaped Pool was dedicated to Rachel
I still didn't get over this 💔
Came back here today for the first time in many months. I remember hoping this would be on King of Limbs.. I need it to finally be released.
always come back to this
the way he expresses his emotions with his voice transcends music.
The great thing about Radiohead / Thom Yorke is the fact that if and when he / they ever release this song as an album track, it will probably be barely recognisable to the way he plays it here... but it will be equally incredible.
It's not fair that one person can have this much talent. But I'm pleased :-)
Still so damn beautiful
this is my new favorite song , thank you mr yorke, i can die finally
in you i´m lost for about 13 years :)
i had the honor of meeting thom once after a soundcheck and i must say that in addition to being an amazing talent, he is also one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Feel like I'm the only one who likes the new one better
+Ilaria exactly! It's an amazing version and I'm glad they chose that one to put on a moon shaped pool
I like the new one more but wtf simply incredible. . May be their greatest song ever .
I think they both have their merits. I prefer this one for its raw emotion (plus I've been listening to it since 09 thanks to this upload) but as the song is about someone putting on a brave face as their world falls apart, the other is more tonally appropriate.
Lol why choosing one or other when you can enjoy both?
What a song! Flawless sound
He seems emotional in this performance , like I’ve never seen him before
most emotional i've ever seen him was OK Computer tour playing The Tourist Dec 19, 1997 in NYC. he is crying by the end of the performance
I'm 43 and I'd say they are the best band in my lifetime as well
Sounds great, feels that all ghosts in your deepest insides are running, escaping from the void to shut down in a silence, like in a beatiful garden where music and nature grows, where the no words or sights, where begin your days near perfect sky, sky that is the mirror of you

the person who filmed this, just made my day. this is unbelievable... thom yorke must be from another world
one of the many songs of his and of Radiohead that have felt that it knew me like my breath... that it went through me like atomization... that it spoke me like my dna. luckily i was in my room alone when this one hit me first. i remember years ago having to pull over in my car as i started sobbing when i put the newly bought Kid A CD in the player... and heard it start... i stayed pulled over sobbing until it was over... learned not to be in public when i hear a new Yorke, or Radiohead song....
One of the most powerful performances I've seen.
Thom you are the man, take a good long break from the fast lane and touring, rest up take some ayahuasca and please write another radiohead record with BEAUTIFUL songs on it, including present tense! I love you but I need In Rainbows part II in my life SOOO BAD
if there was a hack down the street who could write songs as beautiful as this, i wouldn't be on youtube watching this right now...
I like the "feeling" he uses as he sings the song, the lyrics are so true, and so deep... very good song. :)
Thommyyyyyyyy
Is so incredible live, noones better live
In him, I'm lost
That's geh.
@@NostalgiaforInfinity exactly
his voice is so beautiful. if i could sing like him, i would sing all the time. and so much emotion in a performance. A true genius,, and of pure talent.
I've listened to too many songs, but this is just my favourite ever ever don't know why.
Wow the song is that old?? It's such a perfect song!
this dance, this dance, is like a weapon
I need this version on Spotify please :(
i was at this festival and i'm now 52, and a very lucky boy. i left this gig crying at the beauty of it all.
3:30 his face look so sad and cute
wow... his face and the music made me tear up.....
So many performances I wish I'd seen in person, but at age 50 I just thank the universe for RUclips (and the Internet, and personal computers...)
Thom sure has aged in 5 years. He looks a bit like a beautiful hobo now. Still awesome though.
It's not the kind of music You listen to. It's music that You are feeling.
thom just hit me in the right place in the right time, with every song he plays.. he´s a heaven gift for all of us. 5*
thom yorke's new song!
thom yorke's new song!
thom yorke's new song!
thom yorke's new song!
thom yorke's new song!
bravo!!!!
thank you!!
my memory card would be full when he started playing this song, glad you got such a good shot...such an amazing afternoon
sus temas me salvarón la vida !
This song has never been performed better than it was here.
2:40 starts and kills me
Me too!
The fact that everyone here obviously feels so strongly about there favourite head album just proves how important and inspiring their music is!! Give me any radiohead album at any time of any day an I'll be a happy fellow. Peace
he never fails to amaze me. beautiful
I've been listening to this song repeatedly for the past couple of days. It's perfect. Thank you for posting this.
Does anyone else notice how Thom stares over to his left during the "in you im lost" part?
Wonder if the wife's in the audience...
there is a huge world, he inspires in everything....
I LOVE you Thom. You are BRILLIANT xxxxx
i love this song i love his emotion behide it the way he plays the guitar thats my fav part love thom!&rd!!
man i am so glad that they are putting out an 8th album. i will be real sad the day the stop releasing music. thanks for this clip.
this song gets better each listen
In you I'm lost, in you I'm lost
You guys need to stop arguing and close your eyes, put on some good headphones and LISTEN to this song in all its majesty. Thom Yorke... the greatest musician of our time.
I love you, thom. I freaking love you.
he's barely looking at the guitar
Sorry to hear that. I couldn't see them either when they came to the states. Maybe next time? I'll die happy if I could see them in concert.
His voice doesn't sound anywhere near as good now as it did back then. I kind of wish they put this song on King of Limbs so they could get it while Thom's voice was a bit younger.
he sounds really good on the album version. I also prefer the higher "don't get heavy" that he does.
this is the best video i've ever seen on youtube
what must it be like to be THAT gifted? words fail me..just beautiful.
i love this every time......
cannot wait to hear this fully fleshed out
Watching the video exactly 12 years later, 19 July 2021
This is the ONLY version of this song.... worth listening to
The way he says "I am doing no harm"
Devastating
i am in love with his vulnerability in this performance.
i was the same way actually. it seems like when i first listen to a radiohead album, the songs that i tolerate initially end up being my favorites after about 20 plays. i dont know about you guys, but it takes me more than one play to really truly grasp and appreciate a radiohead song. they just keep giving.
a beautiful, beautiful man..
