[Verse 1] We overflow in a hurricane We overflow in a hurricane We can feel no pain It's so close that we disappear Through this narrow gap The narrow gap that you leave us in [Verse 2] We can slide through this narrow gap The narrow gap that you leave us in And we feel you near But so close that you disappear [Chorus] While holding on to the sides Like a wind blows its emptiness Yes is not a real yes Not a real yes [Verse 3] Emptiness has many forms The only thing is to listen It has many forms And loneliness is a way to drown [Chorus] While holding on to the sides While a wind blows emptiness Yes is not a real yes Not a real yes
I think the thing I enjoy most about so much of their music, in particular the video presentations, is that they aren’t an overwhelming constant cry to, “Look at me! Look at us! We are so fabulous! Can you believe how fantastic we are? Look at us!” Far from the majority of the popular music industry attitude that blows up the egos of the performers, The Smile’s focus is on the music itself… the song. It does make me smile.
They never cease to amaze me and also give me hope of life with the beauty of their songs. Every single piece of Music Thom puts his voice to is a diamond 💎
Fell in love with this song when I first heard it during their Amsterdam show and have been listening to live versions ever since. This song is such a masterpiece and it immediately pulled all my heartstrings making me sob from start to finish. It reminds me of everything I love about 1990s Radiohead.
this is such a true and honest album about so many things, especially about human loneliness and its relationship with the modern world. I feel in the lyrics and melodies a feeling of dealing with the vulnerabilities and uncertainties of life, but without despair, with peace and resilience. This song in particular has a lot of that. while transmitting a serene peace.
Listening to this for the first time on a random bench I stumbled on halfway into a hike through the English countryside. Making the most of what I expect will be one of the last sunny autumn days before the winter sets in. Life can be lonely sometimes but it's moments like this that make it worth sticking around for.
Beautiful melody. Beautiful harmony and string arrangements. Thanks to excellent composers of the magnitude of Thom Yorke who make music caress our soul, they reach the deepest interstices of the heart, giving us reasons to make life a calmer place, with faith and hope that not everything is lost, that defeats are part of a learning process and that true love awaits.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Like XTC meets the Beatles run through the Smile’s bizarre filter. Best use if strings in popular music I’ve heard in a long time. These guys keep surprising me. Hopefully next year they release three albums.
I recently leanerd that our taste in music is like the mute sound that we have on loop inside our head, its kind of hard to explain so I see it as the representation of how our mind sounds like
Do Any of you remember coming across Pablo Honey and just knowing in your being this is special! I've been listening to this for the very first time. I stumbled across the news that a new band featuring Thom in it was out, by complete hapenstance! I'm 48 at a very different juncture in my life, from when I got into Radiohead. This is ..... I thought of a million different words. Superlative came to the top! It made me feel hope and all that energy of youth again, but it's more than that, is that wierd?
The never ending flow. Connected to the ether. Thom is locked into a frequency in which he downloads from. As a song writer myself, I know it exists. However, it only serves you if you work every day.
Lovee the relaxing , hypnotic feel of Thoms' voice blending to perfection with the music. Those acoustics heal me.❤ Thank you to The Smile 🙏🏻 Love to all the community while we travel down this river.😻🏴🌠

Hmm... That's an nteresting observation. I never heard of those names. So, I went and listened to the instrumental "Weissensee" by Nue!. And I do notice a sonic similarity to "Instant Psalm". I wondered if the similarity was coincidental. But, it turns out, the Nue! song cited above is from the 1972 eponymous debut album by the duo of Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger after leaving Kraftwerk in 1971. In this case, I doubt the similarity is coincidental, but perhaps something of an homage.
Their way to articulate emotions into sound waves is unmatched.
Perfectly said
Emotions of desire to make everyone die of boredom
[Verse 1]
We overflow in a hurricane
We overflow in a hurricane
We can feel no pain
It's so close that we disappear
Through this narrow gap
The narrow gap that you leave us in
[Verse 2]
We can slide through this narrow gap
The narrow gap that you leave us in
And we feel you near
But so close that you disappear
[Chorus]
While holding on to the sides
Like a wind blows its emptiness
Yes is not a real yes
Not a real yes
[Verse 3]
Emptiness has many forms
The only thing is to listen
It has many forms
And loneliness is a way to drown
[Chorus]
While holding on to the sides
While a wind blows emptiness
Yes is not a real yes
Not a real yes
The government controlled the hurricane to match the release of this song
This is one of those songs that makes me tear up. This song is beautiful! Its my favorite from the Cutouts album right now.
the same feeling with Foreign Spies and Bodies Laughing!
This has a really strong "I Promise" vibe, I love it 🥲
wtf are you taking about
@@jack-uv6mt the radiohead song "i promise"
"I promise" is the only song thom put out that I dont like
I can also hear a lot of what Thom created for the Suspiria soundtrack.
Also A Reminder
Best song on Cutouts in my humble opinion!
humble people don't share their opinions
@@growingmelancholy8374 that's partly true
Sheeeeeesh
Almost sounds like a lost Ok Computer ballad, but with the textures and string arangements of a newer era... One of my favorite cuts from Cutouts.
I’m glad they didn’t cut out this cut from cutouts
It's almost like half the band was in Radiohead
its one of the 10 best songs on the album
Yes. reminds me a little of I Promise
@@esequiasss reminds me a little bit of Lift, too
Instant Psalm is gonna get you
Is it like "Instant Crush" but more deep? 😳
Psalm police arrest this man he talks in puns
Instant Psalma 😃
Venga un minuto más
We all shine ok
I’m enjoying some of the really peaceful songs from The Smile. Whenever I’m feeling anxious or stressed I find them to be the perfect antidote
Yes! I also love Teleharmonic, Open the Floodgates and I Quit, they're so good
Free In The Knowledge

3:02 is one of the most beautiful string arrangements I’ve ever heard
Jhonny
Yas! It reminds me of one of Bjork's songs as well.
So timely with Hurricane Helene and the devastation in my beloved mountains. 😢❤
So sad, stay strong
exactly what i thought
Spent the whole day helping cut down trees, needed this
I am a composer of violin and electronic music. Thanks to you I can say that I am not just... composing and being free. Thank you
They never cease to amaze me and also give me hope of life with the beauty of their songs. Every single piece of Music Thom puts his voice to is a diamond 💎
Man, this song has been like a hug since it came out, chefs kiss👌
This is one of my favorite songs ever and it’s only just been released. That’s a great sign.
The best psalms hold the most values deep within our souls.
nope.
one of those songs you can just put on repeat and listen all day,for me anyways,lovely song.

This is video of Thom walking home from that cave in Daydreaming
feels so soothing and eerie at the same time, lovely song
All I've gotta say is Moody Blues. IYKYK.
At the start listening this song I began to smile.
But now, after 20 times listening it I am crying 😢.
i smiled aswell 😂
its hard to play this song just once

Magical mystery tour... Harrison Era feel....

What a lovely tune
Es una de las canciones mas bellas hechas por Thom Yorke, me siento en paz escuchándola, gracias por existir Thom.
I agree completely 😊
Me too, In peace but lost

@@Joelrey2007 yes, I agree 👍 completely!!
After hurricane Helene, I’m still here in Asheville…devastated
🙏
This makes me so emotional. I love it.
Beautifully powerful or powerfully beautiful, idk.
this song is like a warm blanket and a cup of tea or hot chocolate on a cold day. definitely getting the autumn feels and I love it so much ❤
This is going to be my favorite The Smile album, I think. All songs are great.
Neither space nor time, in an alternating state between dream and another plane of existence
My new favorite song
Love it ❤some moments remind me of The Beatles song Within You Without You

I want to listen to it again is beautiful
I have listened to it 4 times on repeat after listening the whole album
Lovee the relaxing , hypnotic feel of Thoms' voice blending to perfection with the music. Those acoustics heal me.❤
Thank you to The Smile 🙏🏻 Love to all the community while we travel down this river.😻🏴🌠
Thats my favorite song now
sorry :(
Tom just keeps cranking it out and the solo tour starting soon in the Oceania region plus Japan wow
The best ballad I've ever listened to
Gorgeous! It couldn't be otherwise.
Thanks TY, J and TS.
Beautiful!
It reminds me of my all time favorite band : The Verve . Thank you :)
It's my fave track of the album.
Dear Thom, another glass ceiling opened up. Congratulations, Heaven is closer and closer.
What do you mean?
shut up clown
@@whyisntitpossible404things are getting better and more pleasant (heaven is getting closer) as previously unknown limitations are removed (another glass ceiling opened up).
Just reached a new level of warm fuzzies with contemplation probably
He means Thom Yorke has become enlightened. How lovely
Thank you! It's so beautiful! ❤
A work of absolute genius
La conexión entre los tres es simplemente celestial. Es como el agua.
The strings are so insanely beautiful
actually, their objectively not.
@@growingmelancholy8374 actually, they subjectively are
The poor guy in the video is really going through it
Im freaking out! Thanks guys you make my sad days so beauty.
Practically frothing at the mouth waiting for this to release
weird.
Keep them clenched tonight @V0lk
this is like a kid a song but in the smiles style absolutely amazing.
I cannot unhear Neu!'s Weissensee in this.

@@philmessina476 most likely, especially considering Radiohead’s history with krautrock (a cover of Can’s Thief for instance)
I said the same thing on Reddit this weekend. I’d say it’s undeniable! I hope Thom/Jonny/skinner talk about this at some point
So much new content in such a short time! My ears have been so happy lately! TY! 🥰🥰🥰
Está canción terminó siendo una de mis favoritas antes de que saliera siquiera jajaja
The smile los amo!
La locura que fue esa versión de estudio de Bodies Laughing igual
Gives me All Tomorrow's Parties vibes.
So mesmerizing. ❤
Once again Thom Yorke delivers a sublime gift to us.
Always sooo beautiful
Simply wonderful Creativity finds its maximum
This album is the most beautiful thing. Thanks for making like livable. 💎
this is how i see their music…transcending
Always Awesome!✝️🌌❤
It's bound to be impeccable, as always
Loneliness is a way to drown
this shit is so beautiful that i don't even know what to say
Wow that might be thom's most overtly discordant composition since How To Disappear Completely
Beautiful and the video x
Beautiful ❤
Can't wait to see this video I'm sure it will be deliciously weird 🎵🎸💛🎶
Best time for a Psalm
Oh wow, gorgeous. Is sure to go down at number 1 pop pickers.
For a second, I thought this was a beautiful new song from Ron Sexsmith. Works for me either way.
It's been dispatched - the album (of what I have heard) sounds terrific.
I love The smile
Ohhh I love it too😊. Mthanks
Perfect 🔥 greetings from Minsk
música perfeita pra ouvir dirigindo um carro no finzinho de tarde enquanto o sol se põe no horizonte
paul artreides seeing his atomic bombs explode but in a digital glitchy world
