NO WORDS! Radiohead - Everything in its Right Place - Kid A | GenAlpha Kid Reacts  

first 4 notes are really magical and calm

This entire album is a masterpiece 10/10

I heard this for the first time at about your age and it scared the absolute f*ck out of me, like it actually frightened me too much to listen to this; it’s actually one of the most optimistic and happy songs I realize in hindsight 12 years later:) Life can change everything in an instant and it is so beautiful- that’s what this song is about.

lil bro really wanna start his life in the 'gourmet' section of music 😂

It's like flying in a plane on a nice sunny day into a thunderstorm and punching through the otherside.

Kid A is so far ahead of its time, nothing exists 23 years later that sounds like it. This song has the coolest synth tone I've yet ever heard. 'Kid' A is their experimental height of 'radioheadishness'; 'OK Computer' is their masterpiece, and 'In Rainbows' is their most perfect, sonically realized and well written album. It should be enjoyable as you keep hitting into those.

This is my attempt to explain "Everything in it's Right Place"... Three years before releasing Kid A, Radiohead shocked the rock music world with I believe the 2nd most complete album ever made (Sgt Pepper's being 1st). They sky rocketed to international fame and began a 1 year mind-grinding world tour. Four performances into the tour, Thom had a nervous breakdown, but had to continue for another 12 months. When they finished, Thom stated, "I hate rock music." The band nearly came apart, but with some time off they regrouped and came back with what has been called "the greatest left turn in rock music". Kid A is Thom's personal journal/therapy session/emotional sob of the turbulent whirlwind of traveling through a nervous breakdown. "When you are going through hell, there is no choice but to keep going." "Everything in it's Right Place" begins the journey. I am bi-polar and have been through 3 mental breakdowns that required hospitalization. So, I recognize the decent into madness when I see it (especially in myself). Thom keeps trying to convince himself that "Everything [is] in it's Right Place", but he is deceiving himself and us. Youi know your day is not right if you wake up "sucking a lemon." This is another way of saying you, "have a bad taste in your mouth." And the "two colors in my head" (they can only be "black and white") connotes a feeling of rigidity where reality be a certain way, or it is wrong. When you are losing your mind, you have nothing left to trust. Something doesn't feel [taste] right but it has to be because there is only "black or white" [right or wrong]. I don't know if I have conveyed my reality to you, or if my reality is that of Thom's. Either way, it doesn't matter. Radiohead has never cared what other's thought of their music. That is one thing I love about them. I spend way too much energy obsessing what others think about me. When I listen to Radiohead I can escape myself.

The brilliance of this song lies in that perfect sound that's so disturbing yet so calming, it sets you in a state of contradiction although "everything is in its right place". Just like life, you study (or not), get a job (or not), marry (or not)... Everything in its right place... yet you can feel something's outta place... You can feel some sort of contradiction, some sort of absurdity in your daily actions...

I'm a millennial and I'm so glad to see such a young kid reacting to the music that I love and grew up with! You have good tastes, kid!

One of the most remarkable things about the Kid A album is that it got to number 1 here in the UK and there wasn't a single released from it, and very little marketing. The marketing it did have was spectacular, mind. They released these 5 second ads, called "blips", that just involved ambient music from the album playing over the bizarre alien landscapes from the album's artwork booklet, that were animated. So bold. Obviously the success of OK Computer helped, however, it was all a stark contrast to their earlier work. Love seeing a young kid with an open mind to music discover music like that, and enjoy it. Keep going down the rabbit hole, mate. Enjoy it :)

You can’t explain it. You can only become it.

What a cool kid. I remember the day I heard this album 15 years ago

Kid A is my favorite Radiohead album. In my opinion Nirvana - Nevermind and Radiohead - Kid A are the two most important albums of the last 40 years in terms of impact and influence.

Well done young man . Someone with great taste !

This song is a masterpiece, u cant listen to this without feeling the vibe that it gives to your body. I listen to this song almost everyday, no matter what, if im having a good or bad day, i just listen to this and start thinking about all the things that happened in my life, and then i whisper to myself: "Everything in its right place"

This is a song that everyone absolutely MUST hear on a good pair of headphones. All of those stereo effects and other little things.

Love this song! 🎵🎵🎵

Radiohead can be best appreciated in chronological order. Thom Yorke is a monster genius.

Really fun watching your reaction, I had a similar one for sure haha that moment at 3:32 when his voice just cuts through everything and clears the static is such a surprise and soooo satisfying!

This song feels like starting a new life in a parallel universe....to me at least. Love that, at your age, your sampling so many types of music and expanding your taste, great time to start, kudos. Subscribed.

I still remember seeing them perform this song in Montreal

Still sounds way ahead of it's time

The brains of a genius, leaking out into recording devices 😉

You should try Bloom from the basement another side of Radiohead more proggy (sort of).

I needed to see this. Until I saw this video, I didn't actually believe that anyone from your generation would have this kind of reaction to this song, or to Radiohead in general. I'm 41. I was about 18 when this album came out and I was immediately in love with it. Honestly, I almost don't want to try to explain this as you requested because I worry it might interrupt this experience unfolding naturally for you. Either way there really aren't simple or brief words that I can think of that would truly describe it. And I've lived with this song being regularly in my life for over 20 years. One way I've come to describe Radiohead in general is that they take avant-garde techniques of music creation, which have usually been used by others but often in rather unlistenable ways to the general population, and they embed gorgeous ear candy songs within them. It's a similar thing that the Beatles did for their time as well I think. Great video, Cadence.

It’s like a soundtrack for your life.. you can relate to everything in your own way and feel everything very deeply.

Love it! Cannot wait for more Radiohead reactions!

I think you'd get a kick out of hearing a live version of this one. Jonny samples Thom's voice while he's singing the first part and then plays a crazy mixed version back near the end. Really cool.

Nice! Pretty much my reaction when I first heard it. So amazing. I was 15 when this album came out back in Oct 2000. Loved it then and love it now.

Hey if you love Radiohead, you should check out their side-project band The Smile. Their new album is fantastic! It would be interesting to see your reaction to some of their material.

This album was such a shock when it came out they went from the saviours of Rock to this i can not say I was ready for this it took a while.

Mind blown

Messterpiece ! Haha

Thank you for taking my suggestion 😁

Hypnotizing

How to disappear completely, same album. Thom considers it their most beautiful thing they created. enjoy

Cadence Presley Fade Out (Street Spirit) is Radiohead's best song imo. You should check it out

You've listened to some of their later stuff. You should really check out paranoid android. The bends and ok computer are great rock albums, and kid a is the place they took it after and it completely blew everyone's minds.

synth-based avant-garde, art-pop track featuring swirling, heavily manipulated vocals

If you’d like to hear more awesome Soundgarden songs: Spoonman (from their Superunknown album) is fast and groovy like Rusty Cage - one of my favorites. Other fantastic songs on that album include My Wave (which the band joked is undanceable), Fell on Black Days (slower and more melodic but a favorite of mine), The Day I Tried to Live, and Mailman (intense and showcases Chris’s vocal control and vibrato). I agree with other commenters that you should also check out Slaves and Bulldozers as well as Outshined from their Badmotorfinger album. Chris was also a gifted songwriter and wrote some really beautiful acoustic songs as well as arranging and singing several mindblowing covers. Best covers IMO are: Billy Jean, Nothing Compares to You, and Thank You.

You should listen to lemon glow

"Albert Einstein said that we don't observe nature as it actually exists, but nature exposed to our methods of perception. The theories determined what we could or could not observe. That's right, but he could have gone further and said that there's no nature as it 'actually exists', except as illusion. The human race is in a hypnotic trance every bit as much as any subject in a hypnotist's stage show; even more so, in fact, because the stooge on the stage only has one hypnotist working on him for a short time. In everyday life we are all being bombarded with hypnotic implants. When we're young we have parents and teachers telling us what is real and possible, and throughout our lives we have the media and peer pressure doing the same. Just as the subject in the stage show is told there is an elephant in the audience, or that he's eating a banana when it's really a lemon, so we are told that Osama bin Laden orchestrated 9/11, and that doctors and mainstream scientists know what they're talking about. He didn't and they don't, but if we believe such rubbish we will construct our reality to fit. As a result, we will support the war on terrorism; take prescription drugs that often do us even more damage than the ailment they are treating; and accept that when a scientist says Infinite Consciousness does not exist then it must be true. Techniques like the Totalitarian Tiptoe and Problem-Reaction-Solution are major examples of the way the Illuminati attempt to implant a belief that we will edit into a reality that suits their agenda. The human race is in a trance, seeing what it is told to see, in precisely the way that Tom was at the party. We don't have to seek enlightenment and truth, we are already enlightened. We just have to wake-the-fuck up, break out of the trance, and remember who we are. As psychiatrist R. D. Laing said: 'If I do not know I know, I think I do not know'. Another comment of his also encapsulates the human plight: 'We forget something; then we forget we have forgotten'. That sums up how consciousness became caught in the illusion, or whatI will call the Matrix One aspect of the New Age 'movement' are the 'Workshop Groupies' who go from seminar to seminar, guru to guru, trying to find something they already have. They don't find it because they are too busy looking. We think that enlightenment is like finding the needle in the haystack when, in fact, it is the realisation that there is no needle and there is no hay. It is the trance state that keeps us from the truth. The illusion goes even deeper than our beliefs constructing reality. I guess I started to appreciate this a few years ago when I had my first experience of seeing through the backdrop of the cosmic computer game. It was like looking at the world through those 3D viewer things they call Viewmasters. They give you two versions of the same picture, one for each eye, and the brain turns the flat photographs into an illusory three-dimensional scene. If you've ever experienced this you'll recall how the 3D effect is really pronounced, far more than normal. I began to see the world like that, briefly at first, and then for longer periods. It looked like the 3D version of something you'd get from Nintendo. Today when i walk down the street it's like i'm in a scene from a Matrix movie. I am not in the world I am detached from it - observing rather than participating. It's always a shock when someone speaks to me when i'm in this mode because i feel invisible to people. When I look at the apparently 'solid' buildings and cars, it's like I could put my hand through them. That may sound weird to anyone new to this, but how can they be anything but illusion when they are only electrical signals decoded by the brain? The 'world' is not solid at all. merely an illusion of solidity. In one of the books of Carlos Castaneda, he quotes his shaman source, Don Juan, as saying: 'We are perceivers. We are awareness; we are not objects; we have no solidity. We are boundless ... We, or rather our reason forget [this] and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle from which we rarely emerge in our lifetime.' Quantum physics explores and tries to understand the subatomic realm of reality or, put more simply, it is the study of energy in waveforms and particles operating beyond the 'physical' reality of atoms and 'matter'. In these realms the 'laws' of conventional physics (which are illusions anyway) are seen not to apply and the idea that the physical world is solid is shown to be impossible. The physical world is constructed , scientists say, from atoms. This name originates, we are told, with an ancient Greek called Democritus, who made the first known claim that matter was composed of tiny particles that he called atoms. But hold on. If atoms are the building blocks of our 'solid' world, how come atoms are about as least solid as you could possibly imagine? In fact, they ain't solid at all!" " - From pages 38 and 39 of Infinite Love Is The Only Truth Everything Else Is Illusion (2005) by David Icke.

You should react to MEMOXX from PIPLOE ENTERTAINMENT! Crazy experimental music from the perspective of a dog! Literally nobody known about this brand!

Listen to complex music. Watch complex films. So... every few years when you revisit them you find more and more. Giving you a sense of time and perspective. Dont waste time of sugary disposable media. Gg

There is a great analysis on this song here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VoHIulaOLUs.html. She has another analysis on the timing and the key(s) of the song (spoiler :) its complicated but you already knew that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kCJ2qqa-V1I.html. Check out Weird Fishes (from the basement). Also Lotus Flower (basement version). Bodysnachers (basement version). There there (live and video) Nude (basement version). Airbag (OK Computer live or album). If you want to go back a ways the Bends album is great.

I'd say it's an OCD meltdown explained through music but that's just my subjective take

You should still do songs from OK Computer it is equally great but it does not sound anything like this record. I really do envy you you are going to have so much fun.

what model is your headphone

So buddy I hate to break it to you but I got to be honest with you…the grown ups will tell you drugs are bad…the way you were feeling right around 3:01 ish …yeah that’s kinda called euphoria…some people pay money for drugs to feel that way…luckily for us we have music…and drugs if we so desire 😊

erathreal

Here’s something for you to think about…you had a hard time coming up with words just to describe this. how about walking into a room with instruments and deciding to make those sounds!!! because somebody had to of done that or else we wouldn’t have been able to listen to it. How about that?
