Radiohead - Lotus Flower 

He is not dancing, he is feeling it. This is the dance you do when you are at home alone.

“Why do you take so long to shower!??” Me in the bathroom:

I love how Thom Yorke looks exactly like the music he makes .

Radiohead was way ahead of their time. Listening to this in 2024 and it's still the music of the future.

Thom Yorke taught me that not knowing how to dance is literally the best way dancing.

Imagine this in Just Dance. It would be a boss fight.

Hi, my name's Thom Yorke and I'll be your freestyle dance teacher

was riding my bike and just got hit by a car with this song blasting on my headphones, indescribable sensation

With those dance moves he truly is the king of limbs

Choreograoher : Ok, left, right, back step, spin Tom: Karate chop, Fly swap, self defense, heart attack

When the director said: "just be yourself"

There are "names" for Thom's dance moves...... 0:01 the stretch 0:41 the boogie woogie 0:59 hands in ma' pocket 1:17 karate man 1:31 the heart attack 2:39 running chicken 3:01 the earthquaker 3:22 come little doggie 4:22 drunk girl dancing at the party

4:39 How I think I dance 1:30 How I actually dance

I wish I could care as little as Thom Yorke.

The Joker is clearly a fan of Thom Yorke's moves

No better feeling than being in that zone with zero inhibitions. Could watch and listen to this all day. Pure art.

Once I had a girl who left me because I dance like Thom Yorke. Then I found a girl who dances like Thom Yorke.

david bowie. bjork. thom yorke. thank you, aliens.

Hi, my name is Thom Yorke, and i'm your freestyle dance teacher

This is what letting the music move you looks like. Thom’s musical and lyrical genius is unparalleled among his peers

This dance This dance It’s like a weapon Against the Present Tense

Producer: "Right guys, we only have $27 to make a music video for this song" Thom: "I got this"

Choreographer talking to Thom on the phone: Choreographer: Thom i have low reception here but here's what you gotta do in the video: You start in an empty room and then kjwafefesjgkweguykaghnerjan 5334 t24 fqeui h f4jk qewgtq3 38 12n6... Thom: Gotcha.

2:55 when I'm done washing my hands but there are no towels nearby

thom yorke was doing the hotline bling before it was even a thing

Fun fact: Thom has the rat from Ratatouille under his hat

4:27 Thom Yorke in a classroom pulling the plug on every computer.

Lyrics: I will shake myself into your pocket Invisible Do what you want Do what you want I will sink and I will disappear I will slip into the groove And cut me off And cut me off There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I set you free I set you free There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is I can't kick the habit "Just to feel your fast ballooning head" Listen to your heart We will shrink and then be quiet as mice And while the cat is away Do what we want Do what we want There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I set you free I set you free 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is The bird that's flown into my room Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the earth upon a stick I dance around the pit, the darkness is beneath I can't kick your habit "Just to feed your fast ballooning head" Listen to your heart

Thom Yorke is just... ahh... words can't explain the brilliance of this man!

My friend: There is your crush, act normal Me:

0:48 me choosing between a red apple or a green apple.

Introduced my 15 yr old niece to Radiohead with this song over Thanksgiving. She was supr impressed and couldn’t believe the song wasn’t just released. I felt so proud, and now want my cool uncle card sent to me ASAP.

00:51-01:00 When you're on the dance floor alone looking for someone

2:03 when you get cast as a tree in the school play

He just dances the way we all dance when we're alone... Probably what it's about anyway

i love this man.

3:44 “Burgers float into my room.”

Look at him. He is perfection.

how was this 10 YEARS AGO ALREADY??? this still feels so fresh

I have been watching this video for over a decade. Every time i come back to it, it truly makes me smile. Pure uninhibited expression. It is absolutely mesmerizing. The best Radiohead video hands down IMO. It is timeless.

I've really enjoyed watching Thom Yorke's gradual transformation from prog rock brat to crazed homeless man.

I am a dancer by profession, and Thom's movement is actually captivating to watch. Not many people can let go like this. If he took dance lessons he could be incredible actually

We put this on our wedding playlist. Four people on the dance floor had seen the video and started dancing like Thom. Other people caught on eventually.

can’t wait to see thom in the 2028 olympic breakdancing

I mean... That's exactly how I dance to Radiohead songs when I'm home alone

imagine this being the only evidence of human life

Director: left foot, spin, drop Thom: spider legs, seizure, cattle skattle

4:04 I just wanted to say that I love the meme comments with time stamps

thom dances to feel music and let it completely take over, no bullshit. just totally letting go.

"But we don't have a choreographer" Thom Yorke: Hold my beer

let me know if you guys need any tips

i HOPE THAT i COULD BE AS COOL AS THOM SOMEDAY

3:51 Praying for another Radiohead album

I love that Thom Yorke is dancing. For some reason it makes me really happy.

The most beautiful flower is the lotus flower and it grows in The dirtiest murkiest of swamps. At night it coils back into the water and when the sun rises it blooms again. We are like lotus flowers. No matter where you come from and where you are planted when the sun rises again you can bloom again.

God, he’s a flipping genius. He’s one of these people about whom they used to say “You could put him on stage with nothing but a Phone Book as a script/lyrics and he’d come up with something amazing.”

"Choreography by Wayne McGregor" Somebody choreographed this. Let that sink in.

Thom: ah shoot a bug got inside my shirt Director: Jon get the camera

Thom is my kind of man.

1:00 that little dance was so cute i love this precious old man

Beautiful song with one of the funniest comment sections on RU-vid

I guess he truly is The King Of Limbs

He dances how the song makes me feel when I listen to it.

I swear…you listen to one song by Radiohead and next thing you know…down the rabbit hole you go. I’ve always been familiar with the band but I’m just discovering the quality of their catalog. This song hits different, for sure.

This is actually genius though. It was shot in black on white, had a dance and style that isn't specific to a certain era, and he used a pretty plain clothes. So whether you watch this in 2010 or in 2050 the video doesn't feel old. It's designed to be timeless

It's 3 AM and I am dancing to this in my room alone while everyone sleeps...

Possibly one of the top 100 videos on RU-vid of all time by greatness.

1:32 Kermit the frog 0.1 seconds after introducing tonight's guest

I will shake myself into your pocket Invisible Do what you want Do what you want I will sink and I will disappear I will slip into the groove And cut me off And cut me off There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I set you free I set you free There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is I can't kick the habit "Just to feel your fast ballooning head" Listen to your heart We will shrink and then be quiet as mice And while the cat is away Do what we want Do what we want There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I set you free I set you free 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is The bird that's flown into my room Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the earth upon a stick I dance around the pit, the darkness is beneath I can't kick your habit "Just to feed your fast ballooning head" Listen to your heart

2:12 - Q: How many people does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Thom Yorke

wait what? This is 11 years old??? I swear this feels like it could’ve been made today. It’ll probably still feel like that in 30 years. Timeless

When this album came out, I just felt lukewarm about it. Over the years, it really grew on me. The power of Radiohead.

I think there's no man in the world who can feel sound such as Thom.

**Lyrics** I will shape myself into your pocket Invisible Do what you want Do what you want I will shrink and I will disappear I will slip into the groove and cut me off And cut me off There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root And now I'll set you free I'll set you free There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is I can't kick your habit Just to fill your fast ballooning head Listen to your heart We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice And while the cat is away Do what we want Do what we want There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is The bird lights float into my room Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick I dance around the pit The darkness is beneath I can't kick your habit Just to feed your fast ballooning head Listen to your heart

I discovered this song when I was on LSD. This clip was so mind blowing at the time, I understood the entire dance and everything fell into place and was perfect. I played it on repeat for 5 hours and couldn't look away 🤣 Now sober, I still think this is one of the most beautiful dances I have ever seen.

His voice is an instrument within itself.

I was kind of shy person. But now I can dance in public without feeling shy at all after watching this video. So Thank you Thom

Самобытная хореография, песня, оператор, монтаж -- лучший клип всех времен и народов!!!! forever love!

In my opinion THE Greatest band of the last 30 years.That’s NOT to say there aren’t other great bands..but in my opinion they are the greatest.

2:44 when you’re trying to get the water out of your ears after swimming

There is something about watching Thom jamming out while singing that brings me immense joy. You can see he enjoys himself and that is just so beautiful to see.

Might be as iconic as Once In A Lifetime now

I just can't understand people that just know Radiohead for Creep

I feel this video was ahead of its time.

3:22 trying to turn the lights on when you get home from the pub at 3AM

1:28 when the unidentified liquid from the trash bag drip on your leg

This dance, this dance is like a weapon of self defense against the present tense ...

Thom: **Faster Jonny** Jonny on his synth: 4:27

好きな音楽を聴きながら暗い部屋で踊るとなんか昇天しそうな感じになるよね。

I feel like the professional choreographer didn't have very much control of thom

2:37 me when I’m dancing in my room but gotta hold my headphones at the same time

0:52 what a fucking awsome groove

It feels like yesterday that this song came out. It's hard to believe it's already been 12 years. Honestly, the day TKOL dropped was so exciting. I think most fans gave that album a hard time, but it's grown on me so much and I consider it some of their best and most interesting work now. Listen to the live version The King of Limbs From the Basement sessions to hear these songs at their absolute best.

2:56-3:04 me when the hand dryer in the public toilet is out of order

Doctor: "Look Mr Yorke. You only have one more day of life. Think what you wanna do in your last day". Thom: "Well..."

This video is basically Thom dancing to his song like a schizophreniac, and to be honest, I'm here for it.

Fun fact: this was choreographed.

3:22 when you try to get the attention of a cute animal to take a picture of it

2:41, 30 seconds before i go into a job interview and i realize my armpits are sweaty

This is the most 'like no one's looking' dance I've ever seen. Pretty impressive for a guy who is looking directly at a camera.
