I think i'm literally responsible for 20 of these views. never knew they covered paranoid android. Most of the others I've heard them do though. So glad I found this gem. Thanks for sharing! favorite part, "When I am King, you will be first against the wall. With your opinion which is of no consequence"
I'd love to see this song live, but there appears to be no recordings of it on RU-vid, so I shall have to rate this video highly, as at least I can listen to it. Radiohead is a national treasure of Britain, and I'm proud to say that they are part of an American heritage of music. many people do not hear it, because they do not listen to college radio, but believe me folks, it's out there. Edit: this is one of the best songs by one of the best bands of all time in the history of rock and roll, being covered by another of the best bands in the history of music itself. I have a feeling that Radiohead are fans of Punch Brothers.
Speaking as the self proclaimed no 1 uk punch brothers fan boy, I'm sure chris T and the boys would give a hole hearted nod to the guy who unequivocally proposed the key chord structures which make this such a phenomenal tune. The late, the great Sergei Rachmaninov. And Muse too,of course.
This is such a fantastic cover. So detailed and well thought out. However, I think this song is a really good example of how quiet stringed instruments are. The intense sections just don't have the volume or richness. No wonder orchestras have to have such huge string sections.
they are in a class no one can touch without copylng them.the way they take a classical peice and fit it to come out amazing. Never heard bach playing banjo befor? He would shit to hear it you know what i mean ?
