This version is amazing, but i honesty miss the scream from the album. I know, i wouldn't have done it live either, but it really capstones the song, like his anxiety is exploding
I cannot explain how incredibly high I was the first time I (unexpectedly) heard this song. I was largely unfamiliar with Radiohead at the time. I'll never forget sitting in my car alone in the dark, and being both terrified and in absolute bliss at the same time. Nude came on after, and they've been two of my favorite songs ever since.
Every live show by Radiohead is the best live show ever. From Pinkpop to Jools, they just breathe new live and interpretation to every piece they play. Not to mention how flawless it is when they do it, well practiced.
this song still scares the living crap out of me. gives me the feeling of being lost and alone in a concrete jungle. like the feeling that there are things out there in the dark, but mechanical things rather than the natural forests
This takes you to the darkest areas of your soul , what an amazing mind he has to create a song as good as this , in my top 5 I've ever heard , and I only discovered it recently, this versions the best out there. A lunatic asylum enters my mind every time I listen to it
"Do not cry i won't leave you alone, you know we're friends till we die" The best lyrics of all time, and some of the most beautiful words ever uttered by them.
This song seems like the blueprint for a lot of modern music. I feel like people heard the creativity of this and thought "Let's run this sound into the ground."
@@emersoncooper2318 yes but some kinds of noises can be really creepy. I remember hearing helter skelter for the first time, the way the guitar sounded scared me a lot but I think i got used to it in time, now I enjoy listening to it. So my point is... Nevermind, I don't know what I'm talking about.
You clearly have never heard Storm of the lights bane, In the nightside eclipse,Alters of madness This sounds like a nursery rhyme compared to songs on those albums. But yes soundwaves are subjective to the individual listener.
I am the key to the lock in your house That keeps your toys in the basement And if you get too far inside You'll only see my reflection It's always best when the light is off I am the pick in the ice Do not cry out or hit the alarm You know we're friends till we die And either way you turn I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls It's always best when the light is off It's always better on the outside Fifteen blows to the back of your head Fifteen blows to your mind So lock the kids up safe tonight Shut the eyes in the cupboard I've got the smell of a local man Who's got the loneliest feeling That either way he turns I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls
One of my favorite Radiohead songs. I know the lyrics are creepy and the whole atmosphere is gloomy and muted, but to me this track is pure sex. Maybe I'm weird.
Omg no, i feel the same way about it, something about the chord progression, fuzz, and almost messy vocals reminds me of messy makeup sex, toxic sex even
I was at this gig!!! I find this song eerily beautiful. Radiohead are exceptional live and Ive seen the 4 times so far! there current album at the time was Hail to the Thief yet they played a massive set with a massive variety of tracks. Here I what Thom said bout the track... Lead singer Thom Yorke: "This is about the unspeakable. Literally skull-crushing. I used to work in a mental hospital around the time that Care In The Community started, and we all just knew what was going to happen. And it's one of the scariest things to happen in this country, because a lot of them weren't just harmless... It was hailing violently when we recorded this. It seemed to add to the mood." ….More from Yorke: "Some people can't sleep with the curtains open in case they see the eyes they imagine in their heads every night burning through the glass. Lots of people have panic buttons fitted in their bedrooms so they can reach over and set the alarm off without disturbing the intruder. This song is about the cupboard monster."...Radiohead recorded the OK Computer album in the mansion of actress Jane Seymour, who was busy filming her show Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Ed O'Brien felt that the gothic mood of this track was the result of recording in its library.
I find it interesting that 20 years later this is the feeling they went after with their new project ''the smile''. They added an extra level of complexity to their writing but the eerie and disturbing (combined with melodic) atmosphere is something they always had potential for and this track proved it back then. Glad to see it fully developed in the smile.
Johnny is the ultimate gadget man. If there's a way to clink pots and pans together and make it sound awesome Johnny will find a way. Looks like he's piloting his drone on this one.
This is one of my favorite Radio Head songs it's so awesomely earlier and feels so familiar and haunting this should have been on the radio as much as Creep 🎸🎵🎸🎶
O.K Computer is probably my favorite album ever, and Radiohead is my favorite band, this song has a vibe i dont think an song has ever captured before it
When I firts Heard The Scream in The Studio Version I Was Freaking Shocked I mean Was That Realy Thom Yorke? I Repeated The Song Over and Over Just to Hear That Part
I've said this before, but i'm really not a radiohead fan at all, but this song is absolutely fucking superb. One of the most atmospheric tunes i've ever heard.
They have so many immense tracks, but I think this little number might just edge it for me. That instrumental at the end... Spectacularly, mind-blowingly good.
I've followed Radiohead since Pablo Honey, ...but this has has always been my favorite song....sorry to be rude but I just blew a wad watching this, ty soo much for posting this!!!
Nothing short of evil in music, you can tell cause it's harmony to the ears yet it scares the shite out of you. bet thom made a deal with the devil to have this one
This song is so catchy. Grand! I cannot get it out of my head! Want creepy? Try David Lynch or some of the eerie The Residents stuff. Lynch's music is disturbing.
The creepiest bit for me is a mixture of the line "lock the kids up safe tonight" and after the epic scream (best in a song EVER) where all of the white noise comes in and its just...terrifying listen to this when its pelting down with rain n lightning. itll scare the pants off ya.
I have to say even this song isn't in the best of, this is the best song of radiohead. it is so powerful and flawless. No other band can make such a genious song. I would kill to be in that crowd.
this guys are huge, every single song has something to offer, I just saw them live three days ago and my mind is still blowned the fuck off, Mexico City is still in shock from this musical experience, I respect to Radiohead
stunning perfomance, i still like the scream Thom does on the recorded version and some of the little musical extras that you can get with a recording rather than live. Doesnt mean this isnt great, it is. I would have killed to be at this show in 2003
this is fucking amazing...the little grin he gets on his face when he sings "lock the kids up safe tonight" etc says it all...he knows he's nailed it!! haha GENIUS

Extremely UNDERRATED song.
Definitely
agree
My favourite from them
It means a lot to me, personally. It's like the point of view of my depression, as my one and only everlasting friend.
Teresa Gomes amazing. And yes i think you'd have had to experienced depression to write this.

Agree. it is the greatest scream in rock n' roll history, and tragically omitted from this rendition.
Thom shouldve done his ACPG at the beach house screams) :
I’d scream live ngl
this isn't a song its a journey into the darkest regions of your soul

My favorite radiohead song. The atmosphere is incredible.
💯 👍
same especially the ending
probably the best song ever created by human beings.
Thom is a cat
FOH
It’s up there.
I agree.
Holy lord when this songs explodes it's like God opening up the sky.
Radiohead was perfect that night. This may well may be the greatest live show ever.
I 100% agree.
Idk man, the one in Toronto of the same year was pretty damn good. Stopping the show to potentially save a life is so fucking sick.
Every live show by Radiohead is the best live show ever. From Pinkpop to Jools, they just breathe new live and interpretation to every piece they play. Not to mention how flawless it is when they do it, well practiced.
If radio head were to play this at my funeral I think everyone would feel significantly haunted by my ghost
Are you still alive ? , Cause I want to going at your funeral

@@alvifadhollahI’m struggling to make a top 20. I’m convinced it’s impossible.
a physical force when that second verse begins
"I am the pick in the ice". Inspired artistry. Fucking brilliance.
Jesus this is fuckin amazing. They really do capture a specific state you can be in, when you're feeling a bit dark..
Or alone & cravin' some
"Do not cry i won't leave you alone, you know we're friends till we die" The best lyrics of all time, and some of the most beautiful words ever uttered by them.
Bruh are you serious lmao. These lyrics are supposed to showcase the madness in someone
It's do not cry or hit the alarm
I keep endlessly discovering perfect songs in Radiohead's Discography.
Literally
This song seems like the blueprint for a lot of modern music. I feel like people heard the creativity of this and thought "Let's run this sound into the ground."
Name other examples ?
@Jordan I was going to ask the same thing. I don't hear music like this anywhere
lil peep - falling 4 me
@@gstvalma well obviously it sounds like this song because he sampled it
Radiohead inspires other artist and even movies. Now there is no band that will be Radiohead, Skinny Puppy or Portishead
This song is pure creepy EVIL. So much creepier than anything any lame black metal band can come up with
Just proves that louder/more aggressive doesn't necessarily mean nastier/more evil

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die
And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling
That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Thanks for posting lyrics
Johsty Bach no problem :)
"I am the face that you sleeps tonight, I am the pick in the ice."
I think the best thing I did in my life was to buy this album (OK Computer 1997)
💯
I love this song. It has such a "terrible", haunting and anxious atmosphere...
Everything fits so we'll onto everything here

Best song from ok computer, period.
He didn't scream in the end! That's what I like most from this song, because it really shakes your whole body.
Great band, Radiohead.
I’m a LITTLE late to this comment but regardless these are my thoughts exactly I was waiting for it the whole time

when he says "i am the pick in the ice" used to always get me. he says it in such a haunting way. they are truly amazing you are so right. ^.^
They should make a windmill, in honor of Thom Yorke's head movement.
The flare going off really captures it. Fuck this is so good
This tune is nothing short of magical.

I have seen them live 5 different times. This song live and I was on Acid I felt it through my body. Incredible band

The loneliest feeling.
Thank you! Wish i could have gone, this performance sent the very same chills through my spine i got the first time i heard it.
Imagine that you are host of a local radio station and then Radiohead capture your voice for the song
