What a nightmare. Especially with the song being speed up to an almost comical degree, then slowly down with every failed attempt must’ve been a surreal, horrible experience. Glad they cut the footage of him crying out of the doc. Can’t believe they continued on after that. Makes sense why he smiled like a maniac when he finally pulled it off.
I was thinking about this too, with the track’s speed constantly going back and forth; it really is like a uniquely modern and disturbing form of of torture. kafkaesque
This is very strange. I feel like I've stumbled upon a CIA torture video. The footage being black and white, him being in water over and over and the creepiness of the music speeding and slowing
Think about it. The setup before filming this is extensive. They have to dry him and everything off, prep the water, and he has to mentally be there to sing, feel the emotion, and hold his breath while waiting for the cue, while being completely still since the film is sped up, and then he has to maintain that when the water escapes to bookend the song and video. Music video shoots don’t just take two hours either. No wonder his eye is twitching. I’d be incredibly stressed out too, but the payoff sure was amazing when they finally capture the lightning in a bottle. Gotta love creating art.
rinnin I feel so sorry for Thom in this. Imagine the type of pressure he was under to try to nail this. The final version makes it seem easy. Bless him. 🙏
The one thing that really irked me, was when one of the hosts neat the beginning said, "You'll like this, he drowns at the end." But he had such a disdain in his voice when he said it, like he hoped Thom was going to.
News media and professional commenters, always been hopelessly out of touch, dull and boring. The video goes so far over their heads that it's easier to just make vacuous comments like they do at the start the video
Someone needs to slap the 3 Sky presenters, hell I'll do it for free. OK Computer is the greatest album of the 90s and beyond. How it did not win the Mercury Prize or a crummy Brit award is still a mystery to me.
@@slavexcalledxshiver I think your idea of what trauma is has been considerably watered down by popular culture, ngl. Trauma isn't a quirk like TikTok portrays it as lmfao, it's a literal mental scar from a terrifying experience, on par with PTSD.

@@MCart1215 How presumptuous of you. I am 37 years old and I have never been on social media. You are incredibly judgmental and arrogant. I don't need you to explain trauma or PTSD to me.

Grow the fuck up and keep your shitty, uninformed comments to yourself.
@@MCart1215Well nearly drowning (a few times) in a transparent helmet while being blasted at by a cartoonishly sped up version of your song seems like it’s going to leave you with a horrible memory.
2:43 Seing Thom in a state of just pure misery is heartbreaking to me. This makes me understand why Thom smirks like an absolute maniac at the end of the music video.
@@okcomputerrrr yeah .... that’s not in the movie. That was an intense time for everyone in the band when you’re being interviewed 6 hours a day being asked “how does it feel to be the saviors of rock n roll?” That said I know the band wanted to include like the fun moments of that tour, especially go cart racing apparently but the director didn’t think it meshed with the overall theme. One of my favorite band docs of all time for sure
Aw when he gets mad he hits his head at 2:07 and later in the video he cry’s and gets sad at 2:33 😢 it is probably hard to have your head under water for a long time
imagine hearing a night core no surprises while almost drowning and have claustrophobia at the same time, while being in a tank that slowly fills up with water, and have to repeat it multiple times.
bro all these people acting like it wasnt HIM who wrote the song, AND the video script. its a VISUAL DEPICTION OF THE EMOTION the song carries. there's real depth to this song, thom didn't do this cause video had to get done. he did this so we understand from a visual perspective the words he wrote. creative people sometimes do crazy things so that normal people can grasp the overall theme of a piece. if you've got depression or any mental health issues i'm sure you're not the ones on these comments freaking out as if he's being forced to fake drown himself
this scared me so much and I cried tho when I saw him crying and breakingdown. he was trying his best, the frustration, who knows what was in his mind while making this :(((
Remember that this was a time when "politicaly correct" things were a thing to laugh to. And that's why they were better times. I can't make a fucking racist joke without people whining nowadays. FUCK i would drown you all like thom, but forever.
@@cartersauce1344 wtf are you all idiots? Im sure you are the ones that get offended for everything. “I take that personally, it hurts me” well learn to laugh about yourself fucking kid.

Radiohead albums are stories about living in an altered state of consciousness told from a first person perspective. They're like audio movies. In No Surprises we see a person living in a state akin to having the back of your head smashed in but still fully lucid (see CUTW). Time has passed since CUTW and he's learned to deal with it as long as everything's very quiet and he can sit very still for the rest of his life. .

“A job that slowly kills you.”

why the hell is that accurate
Fun fact: Director Grant Gee said that that line was one of main inspirations for the video
Technically, Thom was listening to a nightcore version of No Surprises while almost drowning
Sounds horrible
actual fucking torture
🤣🤣🤣
I would hang myself is I have to listen to nightcore versions of music
And he had to fucking do it over and over again lmao

@GNNASCARFAN 24 the band probably had creative control over the videos, considering how unique they all are, I don't think the label was forcing them
He cried at 2:35

First time I’ve ever seen Thom Yorke this angry
Even the MTV beach house doesn’t seem that bad in comparison
Yeah, that was virtually performance art. This was downright perturbing..

The eye twitching thing is actually because he has an eye conditon lol
No wonder he smiled like a maniac in the Final Cut.
Knowing that this was made in one shot
And he had to do it again and again and again
With the song speeding up and slowing down with every fail, honestly surprised it continued after he broke down. That but wasn’t in the documentary.
I too would get mad if I had to listen to a nightcore version of No Surprises over and over
it's easy.
Takes after takes after TAKES AFTER TAKES!
Thom Yorke is basically drowning himself!
Poor him...

Smiling like a maniac ready to kill someone, can’t blame him.

3:07
F*CK
QUACK
FACK

that was hard to watch
And now Sky likes to portray itself as the inventor of the 'Arts'.

"again music to cut your wrist" oh my
this is so nightmarish i honestly can’t watch the music video without feeling a little sick
It makes the song so much more real
It kinda makes sense that they took a break making music videos for their next album
In the final result he smiles when water goes off like he finally DID IT
3:07 if you listen closely you can hear him shouting through the glass tank
“FUCK!”
FACK
So he had to take more than 10 shots to end up with the final scene?! sounds like The Shining all over again! searching for perfection.
this looks like a torture method from the 1950s
are there more clips of this making of? if there is, could you please upload them?

Id be really upset too listening to a sped up version of my fav song of all time, whilst drowning.
A job that slowly kills you tho

1:23 nightcore no surprises
Where did you find this uncut version?
What an unpleasant woman
What women?
him casually loosing his freaking mind while under water just kills ms
