He’s basically insecure, feeling like a creep and a weirdo, like he’s not good enough for her. Wish people wouldn’t feel that way! 😩 His voice is amazing!
Way more than that, but i guess you basic people feel in love with the superficial and simple meaning of this song. He expresses also happiness, anger, care, hate, envy, pity, defeatism, search of courage, wellbeing, etc. Not to mention the superb vocal range, power, originality and the mastery of the musical instruments and their limits.
It’s just a song about insecurity and how he wanted to be with someone that seems way out of his league. It’s a pretty relatable song for people that struggle with self image. That’s why he’s like whatever YOU want since obviously she doesn’t want him.. and just questioning his own existence. Probably one of the best written songs ever
You miss the whole premise of the song. At no point does it mention her feelings (acceptance or rejection) for him ... it's all about his insecurities, as I am sure most of us "loved up" males have experienced? For reference try looking up Janet Kay "silly games".
Its not that she doesn't want to be with him .. its more like he knew he wasn't good enough for her. He was afraid to embarrass himself if he approach to her.
Creep shares the angst and heart-wrenching pain we've all felt at one time or another about not being good enough to be with someone we feel is better than us or just not being good enough for anythnig at all.
Other Radiohead songs y'all might want to check out: "Karma Police" "High and Dry" "Paranoid Android" Most of their music is a bit more shoe-gazey than this. It's very smooth and melodic. Enjoy!
Haven't listened to Radiohead for ages. I remember when "OK Computer" came out, I swear I had that album on repeat for a year. Saw them in concert twice as well, they were brilliant ✌
When Thom turns it up one octave heading into the final chorus push it's epic. Being in love or infatuated with someone that you feel is too good for you definitely hurts & is self defeating. Thom had a huge crush on a girl in college that he actually used to follow around but never even tried to speak to because he felt he wasn't good enough. He actually saw her once when she showed up at a Radiohead gig as well. Thom wasn't very happy with the song though. He hated the lyrics he wrote. The guitar player added those hard banging sounds at first as a joke because he didn't like it either. The public loved it & obviously it became a huge hit. Creep is loved so much that it's all anyone ever wanted to hear. Radiohead actually dropped it from their set to try & make way for new music. That song is impossible to break free from though because "Creep" will always be relatable to so many. Liking that seemingly unattainable person & wishing you were more. MANY have covered this song & argue that this person or that person does a great cover. In my opinion, Thom Yorke's voice on this track IS "Creep".
He said it is about how creepy he felt having a crush on a female student who he went to school with and he said she showed up at a show and felt weird singing this song with her in the audience. ✌❤ loving the channel guys.
This is one of the only songs i really FEEL every time i hear it. at some point, we have all liked somebody outside of our capabilities, I'm sure. and like you said, He's singing his ASS OFF. One of my top ten for sure...
Hey Recklezz, you MUST watch "CREEP" with Haley Reinhart and Post Modern Jukebox!!!!!! The video has 100Million views. Haley nearly won American Idol in 2011 and has one of the most amazing voices on the planet. Her version will blow you away!!!!!!!
@@Malfehzan Just listened to Karen's version. Very intimate and I enjoyed it...but Haley put so many different and spectacular inflections in hers that I can't help but consider it one of the best videos on YT from anyone. I am going to listen to more from Karen though, great jazz voice!
@@frankphillips5660 It's very good, for sure, I happen to *relate* more to miss Souza's version but Haley's is up there at the top with her vocal festival!
I remember watching her on american idol when my mother used to force me to watch it with her and i loved it and thought for sure Haley would win. I have yet to check out her and Post Modern Jukebox but am planning on it, because i loved this song before she did it and loved her voice
This is what the actual singer of the song quote about what the song is about "Yorke says this is about being in love with someone, but not feeling good enough. He describes the feeling as, "There's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us."
my dude.... first and foremost, I really love your insight in the songs. I can tell you truly love listening to music because you don't phone it in. You actually think about these songs, what they mean, what they mean to you... I love that my dude. Also, I love how you are trying to get your partner to be more vocal in her opinion on these songs. It's apropos that this song is about insecurity and you are trying to get her to push back her insecurities and speak about how she actually feels about the music. I really love the community that has popped up around this channel and I really believe it would be supportive to her being more open about how she feels concerning these songs. You're doing awesome my dude.... congrats on the 60k and I'll be here supporting as long as you are putting up videos.
This song and Evanescences MY IMMORTAL and Mazy Stars Fade into You are 3 of the most beautiful songs ever written. All 3 ti me feel and hit you the same.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Other than being slow and mild until a moment where the band is introduced and changes the vibe, this song and My Immortal aren't even in the same ballpark, feelings-wise. My Immortal: Feelings of nostalgia, a lost connection, suffering the knowledge that something will never happen again, while also suffering the knowledge that it's this nostalgia that's stopping you from healing, yet somehow still feeling like the thing you lost was so wonderful that not grieving for it a bit longer would be a form of betrayal. Creep: Feelings of inadequacy, of not being enough. Of being too bland, boring, creepy, average, you name it. Of not having enough to offer. Turning at times towards anger, aimed both at yourself and at your "Oh so perfect" object of desire "Just show one flaw, so that I can feel like I have a chance" style, and at other times into absolute despair over not being able to give up on the person. One is the end, the other is a potential, however unlikely, beginning. They're as unalike as Texas and Alaska. No. Wait.Texas and Syberia.
@@LongandWeirdName you lost me at your ridiculously stupid name and I’m not gonna read that novel of most likely ridiculously stupid and not worth the hours you spent putting your graphic novel together
One of the best Live bands still around! No costumes, dancers or gimmicks. Just pure music and million instruments playing at once! Such skill these guys have.
Its a very personal song to him , you are right about that, its about a girl in University he was crazy about but didn't dare approach her. Though he did one night when very drunk he decided to tell her and rather understandably she was freaked and ran. Hence the lines "She's running out again" . He just never felt he was good enough for her , she was on a pedestal way too high for him. A few years ago she turned up to one of their concerts, someone told him and he almost couldn't go on.
Radiohead are Masters at their craft. They have so many good songs it's unbelievable. Creep is their most popular song. It is one of the all-time classics
I encourage you to explore more Radiohead. So many people start and stop with “Creep” and it probably wouldn’t even crack my top 10 (or even more) of their best songs, IMO. They’ve got a great catalog of music.
PMJ version with Haley Reinhart is transcendent; a must watch... but I'd also be remiss if I didn't recommend the most raw and 'unplugged' version of this that I have ever seen by Pau from The Warning.... both are amazing in different ways
Brilliant song, great reaction. If you are open to a genre change into some blues, try Gary Moore Still Got The Blues live In Montreux 1990. Amazing guitar player.
This song is about a girl at university who Thom liked but she never noticed him. Apparently years later she turned up to a Radiohead concert, Thom heard she was there and was so nervous bye the this the first time they played it Radiohead - Creep (Reading 1994 is the best video
The early 90s were filled with songs about being a loser, and dark introspective music. It turned into the Seattle sound or grunge rock for a few years. Auto tune and the boy bands/brittany killed the true spirit of rock and roll. Thanks a lot Cher.
Intense fucking song, and video. The part where the guitars all rev up up UP and then Thom Yorke screams is as primal and beautiful and sexy and heartbreaking as it gets.
Just interjecting. But this came out in '94. It was a staple of the time frame in history. I remember I bought a brand new 2001 Pontiac Trans-Am WS-6. Black T--tops. Had this is my premium stereo system bumped to 11. Summer nights. Pulled into the gas station like a boss.
Dave Grohl said Radiohead re-invented music as we know it. As a Brit, I grew up with them, but they seemed to be dwarfed by the Verve, Oasis and Blur, but when it comes from a musician that we have immense respect for across the pond, that's a powerful statement from within the industry. Food for thought.
I'm loving your reactions to songs which are new to you and are probably outside of your usual taste in music. You pick up the meaning of the songs really quickly.
There a lot of British bands like this one that were about at this time in the 90s. The Stone Roses The Happy Mondays The Charlatans The Verve Ocean Colour Scene just to name a few.
This song is on my list of all time top ten songs & has never left it for over 20 years. Not only is the music beautiful, but those lyrics, combined with Thom Yorke's voice - *MASTERPIECE!* Hence the reason it gets covered so much, but no-one can achieve the perfection of Radiohead's original - Thom wrote it & you can FEEL his raw emotion! *PLEASE PLEASE* react to Street Spirit (fade away): - it is so memorising a haunting song - dark but captivating💗 'Karma Police', 'Paranoid Android',(Live for both!), 'Fake Plastic Trees', 'Iron Lung' - Radiohead are up there with the greats. Their music is eclectic, experimental, almost a genre of their own - each band member is a master of their craft. 👏
He wrote this at college , when he saw a beautiful girl that he felt was out of his league. I think many teens have insecurities about themselves. Many have fallen for that popular guy/girl at school that has everybody chasing them. And you know you've got no chance , this song is how many feel about themselves
Awesome Song and I liked the grins on your faces when those Cranking Chords Came In With Volume On 10. I Couldn't wait for it, knew it would get ya. This Song is Covered by so many in American Idol and the Voice. 😁❤🤘
This song pretty much summed up high school for me… high school sucked… that’s why I mess with this song so much… and you guys for that matter. Love you guys!
Radiohead began in the early 90's in the UK as Britain's answer to Nirvana's brand of grunge rock w/ vocalist/guitarist Thom Yorke... This was their first hit single in 1993. The first album 'Pablo honey' also had 2 more singles - 'Stop whispering' ... 'Anyone can play guitar'. But Radiohead's 2nd album 'The Bends' in 1995 was not a big hit despite the singles 'High and dry'... 'Fake plastic trees'. The band made a radical departure out of 90's rock, and brought in electronic sounds & samples on 3rd album 'OK Computer' in 1997... it became a slow seller and gave Radiohead a major hit record... 'Karma police'... 'Paranoid android' ... 'No surprises' ... were the singles. 4th album 'Kid A' in 2000 went to #1 on the US charts, w/ Radiohead going into ambient, Pink Floyd-style sounds... more electronic sounds on 5th album 'Amnesiac' in 2001... 6th album 'Hail to the thief' brought back some rock sound... 'There there' was a single from it in 2003. Subsequent records 'In rainbows' (2007), The king of limbs (2011), and 'A moon-shaped pool' (2016) all made the top 5 charts in the USA.
Peak Grunge, the sound of the 1990's..this kind of song was the whole grunge vibe. Feeling like an outsider, a loser, not getting life, not wanting to be part of the crowd, etc..
My favorite part is 6:09 when the guitar starts playing that high note right before he starts yelling. To me, it gives the impression of a crying baby.
More good Radiohead songs: (My favorites) My Iron Lung (It is about the song "Creep") Street Spirit No Surprises How to Disappear Completely Paranoid Android (Jools Holland 1997) Life In a Glasshouse (Live on Jools - 2001) A Wolf At the Door (Lyrics) Videotape (from the basement) Nude (from the basement) They have changed sound so much over the years so almost no album sounds like the other!
I like to think he is insecure at the beginning, but by the end, by saying I don't belong here, he's actually realizing these are not his people. What am I doing? And goes off and has a full life with more confidence.
Probably their biggest radio hit, but not really representative of most of their music. The lead singer Thom Yorke actually hated this song for a while, and they stopped playing it at their concerts. They've got a long and varied discography, but are generally known for their experimental and melancholy sound. If you're in that sort of mood there's not much better. If you're curious I'd definitely recommend their live sessions "From the Basement".
Listen to Kodaline - All I Want Kodaline - High Hopes Kodaline - Everything Works Out in the End Kodaline - Love Like This Kodaline - Love Will Set You Free Kodaline - One Day
"You can´t love somebody else if you don´t love yourself" Wise words. Prayers towards your family bro. Keep on going... edit: You hold that girl - you got a smart one there. Be blessed.
I think this song is pretty straight forward " I want you to notice when I'm not around"......"But I'm a creep" " I'm a weirdo". He is in love with someone and he doesn't even feel worthy enough to let her know"
I wish she would say pointing at the records on the wall addressing him, "You see these records on the wall, here? They are around. You see this video you got me watching, here? It's round. Why you trying to put that square-plug mentality into this equation? It's ROUND"!!! =x-D
I believe this song was inspired by a real life person. This is a great version but I really like acoustic version by The Pretenders - Creep (Live At London's Jakob Street Studios 1995) I have both versions in my library.
You pretty much got it … is basically about being in love with someone, but you don’t feel you’re good enough for them, fairly universal feeling for everyone at one time or another.
Y’all make a good duo, I’m glad your channel is blowing up … Keep expanding y’all’s musical repertoire…:) I think y’all would enjoy some Alice In Chains, Pantera & UGK… lemme know if you need some suggestions
To me, this song was always about people who were angry with their lot in life, and they were going to let life, God, the rest of us, know their frustrations and righteous indignation, whether we wanted to hear them or not.
Thom Yorke heard this on the...radio, years later and didn't even recognize his own band. They had moved so far beyond it. Yes, they got compared to Nirvana and thrown into the Grunge bin but it got them noticed. Keep exploring, one of the greatest of all time. Get into "Karma Police" "Paranoid Android" it gets deeper...

He’s basically insecure, feeling like a creep and a weirdo, like he’s not good enough for her. Wish people wouldn’t feel that way! 😩 His voice is amazing!
Yep, that's basically it. Tom Yorke describes the feeling as, "There's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us."
I think most of us have felt like that at some time. With maybe the exception of "the beautiful people".
That's what makes it so poignant.
Unfortunately, I've related and felt that way about myself for years. I've gotten better as I got older.
@@num1Jaysta Glad it's gotten better for you. We are usually our own harshest critic.
Way more than that, but i guess you basic people feel in love with the superficial and simple meaning of this song.

It’s just a song about insecurity and how he wanted to be with someone that seems way out of his league.
It’s a pretty relatable song for people that struggle with self image.
That’s why he’s like whatever YOU want since obviously she doesn’t want him.. and just questioning his own existence.
Probably one of the best written songs ever
It is certainly the essence of rock and roll (post orchestral/jazz).
Nice to see Smitty here checking out some other content creators.

Man I'm loving that Prince album in the background. Great song by Radiohead, very cool channel, new sub
He wrote this at college , when he saw a beautiful girl that he felt was out of his league. I think many teens have insecurities about themselves. Many have fallen for that popular guy/girl at school that has everybody chasing them. And you know you've got no chance , this song is how many feel about themselves
Old one by them, every album they release is better than the previous and they've evolved so much.
This song is about a girl Tom used to see every day and admired from a far but never thought he was good enough for her. True story
Awesome Song and I liked the grins on your faces when those Cranking Chords Came In With Volume On 10. I Couldn't wait for it, knew it would get ya. This Song is Covered by so many in American Idol and the Voice. 😁❤🤘

As an original punker this song hits me everytime
The song starts and suddenly I'm back where I was out when this hit!!!
Why always pause at the best part?
My favourite song by radiohead is from their first album, The bends. Amazing.
You can't make people love you or see you ...so you hide your feeling's isolate and brace for being alone...but great song powerful...
Radiohead began in the early 90's in the UK as Britain's answer to Nirvana's brand of grunge rock w/ vocalist/guitarist Thom Yorke... This was their first hit single in 1993. The first album 'Pablo honey' also had 2 more singles - 'Stop whispering' ... 'Anyone can play guitar'.
But Radiohead's 2nd album 'The Bends' in 1995 was not a big hit despite the singles 'High and dry'... 'Fake plastic trees'.
The band made a radical departure out of 90's rock, and brought in electronic sounds & samples on 3rd album 'OK Computer' in 1997... it became a slow seller and gave Radiohead a major hit record... 'Karma police'... 'Paranoid android' ... 'No surprises' ... were the singles.
4th album 'Kid A' in 2000 went to #1 on the US charts, w/ Radiohead going into ambient, Pink Floyd-style sounds... more electronic sounds on 5th album 'Amnesiac' in 2001... 6th album 'Hail to the thief' brought back some rock sound... 'There there' was a single from it in 2003.
Subsequent records 'In rainbows' (2007), The king of limbs (2011), and 'A moon-shaped pool' (2016) all made the top 5 charts in the USA.
🤣 she ain't gotta talk if she doesn't want to!!! Love the reactions!! ❤
He's talking to every single person who has ever been made to feel as if they are a creep, or a weirdo.
Wasn't ready for the nuggets of wisdom. So true, how can you love someone else if you can't love yourself.
Please keep doing more Radiohead music they are my favorite band of all time! Thank you! Please do weird fishes or nude
Creep was 90's grunge, and as time went on they went into progressive rock, and eventually art rock. They're still worth a listen, though.
Thom Yorke the lead singer, said that there's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us, the guy is a musical genius.🤗
If you want to go down the Radiohead rabbit hole...pack a few meals. You might never come back!
I never really got into them back then. But now exploring their album of that year I knida missed out on a lot of good songs.
This song is in my top 5 best songs ever made!!! Fucking love it!!!
love it when he rips the guitar👍😁
I know he was feeling it cuz if I was feeling that he had me feeling it cuz he was doing it and I'm glad this is just about somebody singing a song
Peak Grunge, the sound of the 1990's..this kind of song was the whole grunge vibe. Feeling like an outsider, a loser, not getting life, not wanting to be part of the crowd, etc..
My favorite part is 6:09 when the guitar starts playing that high note right before he starts yelling. To me, it gives the impression of a crying baby.

They have changed sound so much over the years so almost no album sounds like the other!
I love this song SO much. You should check out postmodern jukebox’s/Hailey Reinhart cover of this song. Nothing beats the original but it comes close!
This been my jam since college. 👍🏾imma creep
You guys need to react to the cranberries, zombie and linger, amazing Irish band and the lead has an incredible tone
Such an angsty song, it was perfect for me as an angsty teen
you know that boy kicked ass singing lead. Damn! One of the best vocals ever! HHell yes
I like to think he is insecure at the beginning, but by the end, by saying I don't belong here, he's actually realizing these are not his people. What am I doing? And goes off and has a full life with more confidence.
You're a wise man, brother.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
must listen to "Paranoid Android" and/or "Street Spirit/(Fade Out)" And/or "There There".
Oh it's true. And straight from the heart. Google the back story.
Probably their biggest radio hit, but not really representative of most of their music. The lead singer Thom Yorke actually hated this song for a while, and they stopped playing it at their concerts. They've got a long and varied discography, but are generally known for their experimental and melancholy sound. If you're in that sort of mood there's not much better. If you're curious I'd definitely recommend their live sessions "From the Basement".
Try “Fake Plastic Trees”. Also their version of “Street Spirit” live from Japan
"Fake Plastic Trees" changed my life when I was a teen.
Listen to
Kodaline - All I Want

Please react to My Chemical Romance - welcome to the Black parade
I second this along with so many My Chemical Romance songs y’all should check out
It’s about a girl who he was enthralled with. He was to insecure to approach her. This is the song that resulted.
"You can´t love somebody else if you don´t love yourself" Wise words.
Prayers towards your family bro. Keep on going...
edit:
You hold that girl - you got a smart one there.
Be blessed.
I think this song is pretty straight forward " I want you to notice when I'm not around"......"But I'm a creep" " I'm a weirdo". He is in love with someone and he doesn't even feel worthy enough to let her know"
I wish she would say pointing at the records on the wall addressing him, "You see these records on the wall, here? They are around. You see this video you got me watching, here? It's round. Why you trying to put that square-plug mentality into this equation? It's ROUND"!!! =x-D
Very thoughtful comments around 5 minute mark. 🙏
I believe this song was inspired by a real life person. This is a great version but I really like acoustic version by The Pretenders - Creep (Live At London's Jakob Street Studios 1995) I have both versions in my library.
You pretty much got it … is basically about being in love with someone, but you don’t feel you’re good enough for them, fairly universal feeling for everyone at one time or another.
I strongly recommend the "Best performance" live version
This song was written about a girl that he was into at the time but couldn't approach because he felt beneath her or like a "Creep"...
You nailed it! YOUR EXPLANATION.
Y’all make a good duo, I’m glad your channel is blowing up … Keep expanding y’all’s musical repertoire…:) I think y’all would enjoy some Alice In Chains, Pantera & UGK… lemme know if you need some suggestions
Wish there was more with this intelligent kind of reviews.
To me, this song was always about people who were angry with their lot in life, and they were going to let life, God, the rest of us, know their frustrations and righteous indignation, whether we wanted to hear them or not.
This is just one tiny song in their behemoth of a discography
Subterranean Homesick Alien is probably the most underrated Radiohead song there is. Spin it.
Radiohead were a great British Band !!!!!!!
Thom Yorke heard this on the...radio, years later and didn't even recognize his own band. They had moved so far beyond it. Yes, they got compared to Nirvana and thrown into the Grunge bin but it got them noticed. Keep exploring, one of the greatest of all time. Get into "Karma Police" "Paranoid Android" it gets deeper...
