RADIOHEAD Exit Music (for a film) Old Composer Reaction and Dissection
👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
Ah yes, here we go - So I guess that this is one of two songs that needed to be played in a row. I promise the next track I do will be "Let Down". Aloha :)
Let Down is amazing. A face melter. As are most Radiohead tracks. Subterranean Homesick Alien is not an obvious choice but the bass in that track reflects the subject matter. I think it’s supposed sound like a spaceship.
“Erra- skyline” pleaseee geebzzz
In fact, Geebz, if you love the bass you’d love anything from the first half of The King Of Limbs. Bloom, for example. I’m surprised there aren’t more suggestions for that album.
Try Staircase or The Daily Mail, please! You're gonna be surprised.
Yep. Let down is the one
5:33 this pause got a physical reaction of pain out of me. Lovely reaction regardless.
Lol yeah it killed me
What's interesting is that the song kind of produces that point of reference, i.e. it's where you expect it to keep going in the way it was going, so he was like "I'm gonna step in here because it's good time to do so". But that's the genius of the song, you didn't expect it to shift at that point.
My balls burst 😂
Haha yes this killed me!!! Why??!! 😦
AAAHHH
That drum fill midway through that leads into the more intense part is one of my favorite moments in music
He paused at the worst part. Wish he would have listened to the whole thing and then discussed it
That, the fuzzy bass that comes in there and then the lead up Thom's vocals do up until "now we are one". Fantastic.
‘You can laugh, a spineless laugh’
I screamed when he paused 😫
@@luchilenium that we are one part gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it
Love that Muse was just like “yo let’s just make a whole band out of the last minute of Exit Music by Radiohead” lmao
That is literally exactly what they did
Yes! I’ve always said this
For real
LMAO damn ur right
Saying that you've never listened to muse
I always get jealous when you do Radiohead. Being able to hear their stuff for the first time again would be amazing.
Just snort some glue for 36 hours and put OK computer on.
@@timyo6288 😂 great idea.
I had my Radiohead awakening back in 2004 after a breakup, and it was an incredible experience. I might have listened to Kid A 100 times that year, at least. Definitely one of my all-time favorite bands.
I disagree. Everytime listen to this album it takes me back to the first time I heard it. I loved those moments, miss them, and my youth. My first kiss was this album, my first heart break was this album, the love of my life dance with me to this very song, I went to war with this album, and I've sung and sing this entire album to my children. This album to me is like water. Everytime I hear it, I drink it in and am reminded about how great life is. I'm no expert, but I know this, Radiohead's OK Computer is a lot more sweeter then the taste of a shotgun and its oil in your mouth.
Being such a musician though....and the way he deconstructs their songs....I feel I get more out of hearing them 🤷
“The performance was so rich that I was able to listen like a pure listener and not a composer” is probably the best compliment one musician can give another
I don't think it's hyperbole to say this is one of the best songs ever recorded by any artist. Stunning and sublime and utterly timeless.
What Richard said 🙌🏼
^ agree
It’s easily one of the saddest songs of all time
That is massive hyperbole. I can’t even.
@@timyo6288 how so
A friend of mine once described the first half of this song as the closest music has ever come to silence. Nonsensical maybe, but I kind of understand what he meant.
Not nonsensical at all brother. I'm a musician, and that is something we strive for with my band. Achieving this musical silence. When it's pertinent. When it's right.
You mean, other than actual silence?
@@th3giv3r I find this more silent then silence. Songs like 4 minutes 33 is meant to make the listener see the beauty of normal sounds in the world whereas this has a melancholic feeling that truly encapsulates silence
I actually really like that description, and have heard it often used in the Classical setting when describing or directing certain movements or phrases of a piece
I think the best use of silence, or absence of music, is in the interstellar soundtrack. The control of silence and spacing, especially in cornfield chase, is insane. You don’t even notice the dead space
I love this band...to be a teenager in the 90's, goddamn we were spoiled when it came to bands like this.
The 90s were the best weren't they
@@sorearm late 90s in particular. After 2000 it slowly started to go downhill.
@@ab8jeh I was fortunate to hit 18 at 1990 so enjoyed ALL those years and ALL that music. As you say, after 2000 it's all samey samey
@@sorearmyou're looking in the wrong places lmfao
There’s some good music now but you really have to look for it. I totally agree that 90’s music was better in so many ways. Consistently amazing music. You guys were lucky.
Ok Computer is a perfect album if you hit play on track one and just let it roll. The way they ordered the tracks is almost like seeing a movie or musical. Awesome album.
The Greatest Album of All Time 👊🏼🙏🏼
Great track and review. You will LOVE “daydreaming” by Radiohead for the strings alone
Second this specific song
Third that lol. It is a must! Same with National Anthem
Fourth that. Amazing song
Yes. Easily in the top 5. Incredible tune.
Oh yes, made for Geebz! Moon shaped Pool album = incredible human achievement
I feel like this is the type of song that if listened by someone in a wrong kind of mood in a wrong kind of time in one's life may end up in a tragic and irreversible decision. It's very powerful to the point that it can be dangerous. Exit music (for a film) indeed...
Nah music helps
Exit Music (for a film) is probably the must sure fire way of getting a tear in my eye. At least musically. The way the crescendo just explodes with the organ and drums as "Now, we are one..." come in is just such an amazingly powerful moment in all of the music I've ever listened to.
I'd still love to hear your take on "National Anthem" from "Kid A". The horn arrangement will probably blow your mind :)
Here to 2nd National Anthem! The live SNL version is fantastic as well as the record version
Radiohead & Shakespeare! Possibly the TWO BEST things EVER produced by Britain!
I can completely respect and understand it invoking that particular reaction in you and others-appreciation of a piece is such a personal experience isn’t it?
For me, i find it exhilarating, victorious, intoxicatingly vengeful & almost joyous?
Weird huh?
I completely understand and respect this song invoking that reaction in you & others.
ApPreciation of Music is such a uniquely personal experience isn’t it?
For me, i find it Exhilarating, Victorious, intoxicatingly vengeful & almost Joyous.
Weird hey?
That climax! Unironically, the greatest single minute in the history of music, change my mind.
Pink Floyd time (just before the solo) enters the chat
Mistral Wind by Heart. A lot more music out there man
The final minute to Nessun Dorma with Pavarotti singing is hard to beat.
Mascagni Callaveria Rusticana
I really love it when Radiohead pull out the big bass fuzz. They do it every now-and-then, and it's always a treat.
This song still sends chills down my spine. The first time I heard it was the Black Mirror episode "Shut Up and Sit Down" and that is an unforgettable moment.
The episode title is shut up and dance
that episode is awesome. the ending, just like EVERY time i listen to the song, sent chills down my spine. that episode is an example of how to do an outro RIGHT - this song is PERFECT for that moment.
Sigur Ros is a legendary and truly unique Icelandic band you would surely dig. They have some incredible albums including an untitled album typically styled ( ) and the lyrics are just made up words but it’s incredibly powerful music. Highly recommend.
He should listen to 'Untitled 8'. The mood shift and the ending of that track is just chilling.
YES he really needs to hear Svefn-g-englar
Oh ! Yes ! Please, Geebz, listen to some Sigur Ros ! Anything from the first album would be great ! They even made up their own fantasy language ! Really true !
Absolutely!
Though some songs have made up lyrics (Hopelandic), most of Sigur Rós' discography is in Icelandic.
I'd recommend starting off with songs like Starálfur or Hoppipola.
He has done 1 Sigur Ros track. But yeah / more would be nice.
Glad you dig the “OK Computer” stuff. Please try the song “There There” by Radiohead next.
“OK Computer” is such an incredible album. Still blows my mind to think it came out in 1997; so ahead of its time.
My favorite song of all time
Yes!!!! "There There" is definitely one you need to follow the lyrics along with
I think geebz would like there there 🤙
I've been recommending "There There (The Boney King of Nowhere)" to Geebz for a long time. I hope he does it.
The use of the Mellotron Choirs is so amazing in this track!
There really is an incredible amount of emotion in this track. The compressed drums, bass guitar with the fuzz, the repetitive sample, the Mellotron and Thom's voice!
The Mellotron is such a weird and wonderful instrument.
It's used on two other OK Computer tracks: 'Lucky' and 'The Tourist'. Those eerie choir sounds blend so well with Thom Yorke's falsetto.
@@ThelemicMagick I've always been a HUGE Mellotron and Chamberlin fan since I first heard it on records from the 60's and 70's. Owned a beaten up M400 when I was 18 and foolishly sold it a few years later alongside a few other vintage synthesizers. Still regret it!
@@joelk.3917 Ouch... I sure hope you at least got a decent price out of that M400?
Though not completely comparable pricewise, I sold my TR-808 for a pittance about 20 years ago, which I now totally regret, both financially and musically.
@@ThelemicMagick Compared to what they're worth now, Nope 🤣
I got what they were worth back then. But just like you said: I totally regret selling every piece of vintage gear, musically (and because of the sentiment).
@@ThelemicMagick It also opens 'Airbag' with the cello sounds that double the guitar line.
i ALWAYS airdrum that fill into the drums and synths so when you paused on it, i screamed LOL. great video i always love the breakdowns :)
LOL!!! It's such a great fill, and the sound of the drums are incredible!!!
@@rafanj824 for sure! those tom tones are amazing
Boom pop budubada Pow!
Your comment on the disconnected, eerie sound of the choral pad background vocals is spot on, it really gives the song its unique quality. Few other bands would have chosen that over a more natural beautiful choral arrangement, but of course this an album about the way technology alienates us, so it's perfect.
Sounds very much like a Mellotron to me.
@@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised I think that's spot on. Good call.
they recorded this song a year before they started ok computer, so it's just a coincidence
@@fran4948 Coincidence or inspiration?
Yes. YES!!!!! “There there” tho. I grew up first seeing them in 95. But after all the great ones you’ve done now, there there is just absolutely gorgeous. And a perfect mix of their more contemplative and more rocking aspect.
I totally agree, "There There (The Boney King of Nowhere)" is a track I've been recommending to Geebz for a long while now.
This song has one of the best crescendos of any I've ever heard
I saw them perform this song at BKS festival '17 and literally everyone was completely silent, it was so magical. Oh and a fun fact, that lovely big reverb on this track is from being recorded in the ballroom of St Catherine's court, Jane Seymour's mansion.
I like to imagine this story is about a mom waking up her child to escape an abusive husband/father. I know it's probably a couple as it was written for R&J, but it hits harder for me as a woman finding the courage to escape in her child.
That’s how I’ve always thought of it yeah…
Or POSSIBLY about two people restricted from EMRACING their DEEP LOVE for each other, just because their Families are 'feuding' with each other? ;)
Almost like forlorn love, involving a young man who has to secretly meet with his True Love while she stands on her balcony?
You gotta do something off of A Moon Shaped Pool next. Lots of natural, acoustic instrumentation like cellos, violin, piano, etc. "The Numbers" or "Tinker Tailor..." should be right up your alley.
The Numbers is one of their best for sure
@@jametowne -I would like to see him review "the Numbers" from the CR78(or whatever) video with just Thom and Johnny and a drum machine. I'm not sure but I think he might actually be able to review that one without being demonitized. But I would be just as happy with the album version too.
Really anything else by RH, from "the Bends" thru AMSP would make me happy.
Nah that album really sucks.
The arrangements on A Moon Shaped Pool are next-level, the album sounds amazing
damn those are my two least favorite songs on the album by far lol
Mid-view comment!
For those interested in the strange background noise during the "Such a Chill" stanza, just before the drums come in (just before Geebz' first pause) -- and you hear this background noise again at the very end of the song -- it's actually recordings of children playing merrily at a playground, heavily processed, and played backwards. It's reminiscent of sea gulls at a beach.
ALSO, Brad Mehldau does a fantastic cover of this song with his jazz trio; it's him on piano, with bass & drums behind him, no vocals, but a very lively rendition of the vocal part is included in the piano licks. Check it out!
I love fun facts like this. Thanks!
I didn’t know that but it always sounded like a twisted beach to me!
It's called the Picardy 3rd, resolving to the major 3rd instead of the minor at the end of a minor section. It's been a thing since the Baroque period.
Exit music is their one song I don't even like to hear too much because it's such perfection I don't want to ever be tired of it if you know what I mean
KORESMOS?
Please keep doing Radiohead!
OK Computer has to be one of the greatest albums of all time.
What a freaking song this is. I remember the first time I heard it I was just so affected.
As an "old" singer I absolutely agree but Radiohead take you to that place where you're not breaking it down, as you said - just enjoying the moment. I started playing this & my daughter said, "Oh mum, I love this song."
Please geebz as a composer... you need to do Daydreaming by Radiohead. The strings and creativity is mind-blowing
Can’t do Exit Music (for a film) without playing Let Down. The two are one!
Yes! Do Let Down.
I agree !
Yes the way the guitar opens Let Down follows the dissolution of Exit Music perfectly. Impossible to sever the two
Exactly
I think that subterranean homesick alien is my favourite of ok computer, with this and no surprises
I can't ever not get emotional when Thom sings the "Now we are one" part, geez. Such a hauntingly great voice
I saw Radiohead play in Seattle years back. They played this song and I cried. Yup
I was lucky enough to see Radiohead play in some crappy tiny hockey rink in Calgary, Alberta....and Thom had to ask people not to crowd surf lol.
@@Psilocybin77 What tour was it ? I am wondering what tunes they were crowd surfing to.
Thom's voice is so angelic
Would be great to watch you watch Radiohead perform “FROM THE BASEMENT”! Seeing them create sound is an experience in and of itself!
I second this
Especially in bloom. Pure awesomeness.
I third this... Its a whole other matter to watch them create thus stuff in a live setting.. You realise what a performance it is..
Been a long long time since I listened to anything off this album. Thanks for the reminder of how good it is.
Totally harrowing, that song gets me every damn time. The lyrics, the chord changes, the push/pull of the instruments going in and out, all of it. Glad you enjoyed it.
I was 10 when this album came out, into music at that time already, but my sister was the one that actually bought the CD and had it playing in the house. Occasionally I'd borrow it, listen to the songs that were big on MTV at the time...Paranoid Android, Karma Police, etc, and then the handful of other tracks that would suck me in right away within the first 30 seconds or so. The slow acoustic/vocal intro on this particular track wasn't exactly what I was looking for at that age when I was just so new to music in general and everything was fresh to me. I assumed the whole song was gonna be in that vibe, and that wasn't what I wanted. A few years later, I let the whole album play out, and when the drums hit, I was absolutely blown away. I probably replayed the song a hundred times. Easily one of my very favorites on OK Computer now.
Thank you Geebz.
Every time you do Radiohead, I sit and think about what I could suggest for your journey through their back catalogue and find myself going back down the rabbit hole and struggling to put my finger on one. I think you could put all their songs in a hat, pick one at random and find the composition, arrangement, lyrics or simply just his voice stunning.
So instead of suggesting I'll just sit back and wait for the next!
whenever i hear this song a memory from 1999 surfaces of me listening to this song in the back seat of a 3 hour drive home after 10pm in the middle of the countryside.
I had to hold back tears on this one. After watching you react to their songs I started going through their music on my own time and think I might have a new favorite band. I've always heard a lot about them but never knew just how good they were. Looking forward to more.
I've had their song "The Tourist," which you reacted to, stuck in my head for days. Unlike other songs, I really like having this one on cranial repeat. lol
Youve got a long way to go. Ive been listening to their music for a year and I can only now say that i love all of their albums(except pablo) their music really comes one album at a time
@@danemacdonald4033 Since I made that comment I've went through all their albums (including 'I Might be Wrong: Live Recordings') multiple times. I like them all for different reasons but my favorites are Kid A, OK Computer and In Rainbows. I don't consider any of their albums bad by any means. Not even Pablo Honey. It's actually one of the best English alternative rock albums I've personally heard. Not as deep as their other stuff but it's a solid album and I dig its sound. Brighter and more easy going. Good for a drive on a sunny day.
I'm honestly just completely floored by this band. They may actually be the best overall band I've ever heard.
Happy to have you on board you have a lot to look forward to and make sure you watch the two basement sessions they are among the best things Radiohead has done in my opinion. The King Of Limbs is incredible from the basement you will find a new appreciation for it if you did not love the studio version.
When “now we are one…” begins, I hear an homage to a bassline from Pink Floyd’s Live At Pompeii-can’t recall the track but it bounces back-and-forth into a quick descent and repeats the same way for a couple measures-if you know that video/album you’ll hear it too (I think/hope)
I think it’s ‘One of These Days’ of the decending baseline on ‘ Echoes’
This is my favorite OK computer track, and it has been since I first heard the record back in highschool in 97. It’s just sublime. The bass, the bass.
I really look forward to your Radiohead reactions, thanks for this one!
Great reaction! I think you would really appreciate Spectre. The arrangement is superb. Radiohead made the song for the James Bond film but it got passed for another despite the masterpiece it is.
It was for romeo and Julie 1996 not James bond
@@tylerdonald2034 This comment did not mention Romeo and Juliet at all. He was talking about Spectre, the song which Radiohead composed specifically for the James Bond movie "Spectre" but got passed and they used another song instead. It was released on as a standalone single though instead.
Thanks for doing this one. I’ve not even watched yet but know I will love your breakdown. I really don’t know why but this track is always up there with my favorite Radiohead songs. When the drums come in just gets me every time. Thank you 🙏
Sir, you doing your thing with this particular Radiohead's song is an absolute Christmas gift to me. Been waiting for a long time so that you would decompose this one. I believe I suggested it quite a while ago under some Radiohead track which you did early on. I believe it was around summer time. Back then I saw others requesting this one there as well. I'm so glad you finally managed to pull this one through. It's a real treat and this song can really be considered one of the best Radiohead's songs ever made. It just hits you into all the right spots while being in right mood. Absolutely brilliant 🙏🏻
I was in awe when i first heard this track, teared up a bit too, and fell in love with radiohead in that moment and wanted to listen to everything they did. thom yorke is a big hero of mine.
This song is just so perfectly constructed. Thanks for this reaction, and thanks for doing this one with lyrics. Love.
As always your input and perspective are great. Always hoped youd do this song. One of my favorites it's so powerful.
Chilling over here in Indiana with a cold beer and loving that you're covering one of my all time favorite Radiohead songs. Aloha!
i've loved this band for so long and never bored of them but you have indicated new ways of listening to them, and for this I thank thee very much x
Street sprit always seems to go with this song to me, I always listen to them back back
You, sir, are the greatest reaction/review channel on the site. I am ashamed it took me so long to subscribe, since I've seen sooooo many of your de-composing videos (mostly Primus/Radiohead/Tool) - your knowledge of and passion for music is stunning. You also seem to be an enjoyable chap:)
Keep 'em coming!
Thank you :)
Yes! Thanks for doing another Radiohead track. I love that this one pulled you in. It's a wonderful song, and was my obsession for months after the album dropped. And now my obligatory Radiohead suggestion: "Black Star" is the one I'll recommend, but those deep cuts from the Bends are amazing.
I just love those organ chords that weave perfectly around Thoms voice. It's hard to describe the feelings it gives, but oh man. It's just... beautiful.
I can't listen to this song without crying. Catches me off guard every time. And I allow it to.
Glad you actively listened to the lyrics this time and thanks for adding another layer (the composition view) to this song for me.
Always happy for more Radiohead. You really can't go wrong there. Lots of great songs across many albums to chose from.
Love your Radiohead road-trip!!
Been waiting for this one!
I was a huge fan of radiohead in the late 90s and early 2000s and have recently come back to them. I have a total new appreciation of Tom's voice, its brilliant... pure emotion.
I'm blown away by your analysis
this song, man
it comes at you gentle like an old friend
then, when it's too late or shows its real face and takes you down
I love this song so much
Such a powerful track. Still gives me goosebumps
this is really cool, buddy. this peak here is my favorite part of any radiohead song. so beautiful.
just randomly discovered you, but it's great hearing this fresh from your perspective...I actually just finished working through this album from front to back with my guitar teacher...it's so rich...great analysis!
always hear the opening of 'let down' starting after this, another amazing song.
This song is literally amazing
THIS is the one I've been waiting for since you started exploring Radiohead.
It was apparently written for the ending of Baz Luhrman's film of Romeo and Juliette, hence the title "EXIT music for a film"
I just love that distorted bass with the soaring guitar over the top. Goosebumps every time.
This is one of those songs that is flawless on all levels: writing, performance, production-not a single thing is out of place.
The haunting ballad that can resonate your mood. An old one, or a feeling you have at the time. Pure Genius!
I figured you’d like this one. I suggested it months ago. Glad you got around to it. Still patiently waiting for Jigsaw Falling into Place. Maybe you could do that one after Let Down, which I’m also looking forward to. Awwwright!
back to Radiohead..and what a song choice! you are the best Geebz
Listening to this from Canada, where the winter temp is actually 9 F, with my cup of coffee as well. Aloha!
Good music brings back my imagination. I see visuals and places that don't exist and it's friggin beautiful with a great song like this.
Always get chills with this recording
Love this track!! It never gets old, always somehow sounds cutting edge
I learned to play this as a teen (on guitar in the early 2000s). it really taught me a lot about composition.
Yaaaay more Radiohead!! Best thing that happened in my life today! ❤️
Currently 17 degrees in St Paul, MN and we've had over two feet of snowfall already this season. We got 20 inches from just one storm! Hawaii winter sounds nice, but there's something I love about this frigid hellscape. I mean winter wonderland. :)
Glad you covered this song, definitely a standout from Radiohead. Fun times had by all. Aloha!
Brilliant reaction to a brilliant song. Thanks Geebz!
Breathe, keep breathing
Don’t lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can’t do this alone.
Beautiful. 💕
Good reviews. You capture the stuff that gets me whenever I listen. Cheers.
This is one of my all time favorite Radiohead tracks and it was delightful that you enjoyed it. Yes, that background human chattering sound does sound like anxiety! I don’t think I had really recognized that. Lovely swirl of emotions in that track of dread, self-righteousness, sadness, anger, anxiety…. Let Down does follow that one really nicely on the album. Also still highly recommend Day Dreaming off of A Moon Shaped Pool.
Love any and all Radiohead. Thank you Geebz.
Fantastic reaction! One of my favourite Radiohead tracks - more please!!!
Love your breakdowns, great video, thank you!
Geebz you’re the man!
So glad you did this specific song
Big Radiohead fan. Found you digging into Radiohead. Excellent channel
One of my all time favorite songs! spot on about the mix near the end too
ouch! that's a heavy one!!!! this album is where they totally go into another direction from there on! love the pure raw sound on this one! can't wait for you to hear some of the songs on their last album (A Moon Shaped Pool) the song daydreaming is quite a little gem! (the video too) so many good ones! aaawright!
Radiohead is always such a poignant experience whether it's your first time or 1000th time hearing a song
Sonically and lyrically they take you on a journey
I'm glad you're actually taking the time to absorb Thom's lyrics
As I get older I get very emotional listening to certain music ,,, these boys get me every time,,, you was feeling it as well I think … great revue ,,,
To me, the background noise sounds like waves and seagulls.
Loved this. Please do "There There (The Boney King of Nowhere)," "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi," and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place"
