I feel that Radiohead are the spiritual successor to the Beatles I also think out of any of the bands formed in the last 30 years or so that they are the best and people will listen to their records many years after they are gone.
This song was written for the Romeo & Juliet movie. They agreed to have it included during the ending credits in theatres but the song was not included in the cd soundtrack. They wanted to keep it for Ok Computer, which would come out a few months later. And on the movie sountrack you can find another rarity from Radiohead, Talk Show Host, a great song and fan favorite.
I’ve only seen them live once. At Roundhouse in Chalk Farm. They played this song. The whole crowd was silent. Absolutely silent. Just watching in awe. Then someone dropped a plastic beer glass and it bounced around on the floor and made more noise than it had a right to just because everyone was so quiet. But what a great song.
@@HarriBestReactions I went and saw that crappy movie only because rumor was there was an unreleased Radiohead track at the end credits. It was months before Ok Computer came out. Having nothing but the Bends to go on it was the last thing I expected, totally worth the ticket price just to hear that song on a theater sound system for the first time. Then the Paranoid Android video came out and..... the rest is history.
So glad you are taking a deeper dive into Radiohead. There is some profoundly amazing music awaiting. To get a really good vibe of them more intimately, check out anything from Live from the Basement - "Weird Fishes" or "Nude" or "Bodysnatchers" would all be great starts - other songs that are really stunning are "There, There" "How to Disappear Completely" and "Pyramid Song". Radiohead is one of only 10 artists who've had 5 albums in the Rolling Stone Top 500 list and 2 of their albums, OK Computer and Kid A are on a bunch of lists as the greatest album ever made, yet on top of that the album In Rainbows may be their best work (out of 9 so far with almost 3 strong albums worth of B Sides alone in addition) - so I hope you do vibe with them - a lot of their music is the "takes 3 or 4 listen and THEN it hits like knockout" variety but it is worth it.
The vocals and guitar were recorded in the grand stairway of a manor house in Bath, so that's where that incredible sound comes from. Also, I guess the proximity to Bristol made them channel a little Portishead into this song. :)
I was fortunate enough to see this performed live a couple of times back in the early 2000's. Absolutely fantastic. They really jacked up the bass in the latter part of the song. I felt it vibrate through my body. Honestly, I've been trying to find a way to reproduce that sound since those great experiences :)
It was originally written to be in Romeo and Juliet (Leo de Caprio & Kate W.). It is about Romeo and Juliet. Instead Talk Show Host was used in the film.
If you want a song that has a strong feeling, listen to How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead. That is a song that will take you places... I won't promise they are places you want to be.
So glad to see you delving deeper into them. So many, many levels. High and low. I have seen a lot of people compare to them to the Beatles, but I cannot be agree. I know they were influenced by them, as most bands are.... but their sound is truly their own. They are in and of themselves complete. Thanks Harri for exploring them further. The desperateness in this song reflects the movie it was written for: Romeo and Juliet. As always, peace and love, Harri. Eat, sleep, and take care of yourself first.
There is an incredible Radiohead tribute album called RadioDread. It is incredible, I recommend you check it out sometime; obviously very different, but some great homages on that album.
Radiohead is famous for songs that get much, much, better with repeated listens one other thing I would like to add there is a Reggae consortium of sorts called Easy All-Stars that did 3 albums generally considered among the best ever in their entirety in a Reggae fashion Sgt. Peppers by the Beatles Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and OK Computer Radiodread I think they called it I thought it had some great moments I especially loved the Toots and the Maytells I think that is what they were called their version of Let Down was epic in fact I think Thom Yorke said it was better than Radioheads version you should check it out it does not have to be a reaction do it for yourself I bet you dig it.
I saw easy star live at this small club where they performed the whole sgt peppers album. Smoked a joint with them out back afterwards lol. Great night!

I don’t think I’ve heard a band that sounds absolutely nothing like the Beatles more than Radiohead. You’re really reaching with that ine
@@snsnshhhs663Sounding nothing like the Beatles is probably as close as anyone could get to sounding like the Beatles
Me when I listen to Sexy Sadie and then Karma Police
To me, Radiohead is the spiritual successor of Pink Floyd, but I get you bro.
@@snsnshhhs663revolver sounds a lot like ok computer

Did not know that little tid bit of Radiohead history. Thanks!
Talk Show Host is my favourite Radiohead song, saw em play it live in Blackpool in 1998. Amazing
It was also used for an episode of Black Mirror, which is just about the most devastating use of a song I think I've ever seen.
the blackmail episode right? with the guys going to deliver cakes and robbing banks? that episode awoke something inside me wit
h the twist
Maybe the one of the worst tv series in modern history on this planet.
The worst series in the history of the planet would just be ignored and forgotten by the next year
Sends shivers down my spine, every damn time.
The album is a masterpiece Harri, I know you will love it. Treat yourself man.

The song was also used to great effect at the end of the Black Mirror episode, "Shut Up and Dance."
Great reaction. Check out how to disappear completely. It has a great background story that I think you will like.
background story?
@@lucaswallo8127 Look up Michael Stipe giving thom Yorke advice. (I'm not here, this isn't happening)
Master piece
Awwwwwwwwwww YEAH. You scratched the surface. How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found next!!!!!
🤣😂🤣 I'm sure you'll come find me!
@@HarriBestReactions oh since this is from the Romeo and juliet OST you should do Talk Show Host as well since it’s off the same soundtrack

This and "no alarms and no surprises" and "the bends" are my top 3

Don't forget "Lift"! thats the only one missing!
So glad you did this. It's my favorite song of theirs...as much as someone can choose at least!
This gospel like music is engrossing. It’s wonderful and I just keep coming back to music like this for decades.
The vocals and guitar were recorded in the grand stairway of a manor house in Bath, so that's where that incredible sound comes from. Also, I guess the proximity to Bristol made them channel a little Portishead into this song. :)
That resolution on the major at the end of the verses... Jesus that's genius...
I LOVE watching you hear Radiohead for the first time.
Always excited to see when you've reacted to something I love
The Dicaprio Romeo + Juliet credits
The use in black mirror gave me so many chills
Only halfway in but really enjoying your reaction and commentary. Subscribed.
If someone requests this song for a reaction, they should mention that it was for a movie soundtrack. :)
I could listen to your voice all day. subscribed :)

There's this song live and with lyrics out there, it is as you say scary.

Last song from Romeo and Juilet. This song is about how they end.

Romeo + Juliet film
Better late than never !
The Beatles… huh! Interesting. Yeah I see that.
You need to hear, " The Greenless Wreath ", by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
Since when was it possible to buy a Kallax from Ikea in red??
Thom Yorke is God. Period.
