@@-thesignpainter9486 this is apparently Radiohead’s mission for all records…Nude didn’t make it into tan album until 206’s MSP and it was a devastating song in 95-think it was first showing up at a few lucky shows then. As for this-I’m blown away by some of the “throwaway songs on Com Lag (didn’t make it onto the HTTT full release album so…) 9 song EP and gagging order is a total killer of a song, to me :)
This is a great version. However, I feel Kid A's version is simply unsurpassable. The ethereal, compelling and absorbing feeling it gives out. It shrouds oneself in emotion that is simply too much too bear.
I adore this version. Still wouldn’t give up the album version for anything-but anytime you can get Thom to just perform the OKC through HTTT songs stripped down and really without much reworking, I feel like there’s some magic there. That b side “fog,” and the other EP song, “gagging order,” much more sparse and vulnerable than the albums. I love having those less massively arranged and more “muted” versions sometimes.
So interesting that these guys could've just been the biggest band in the world if they never kept on innovating, songs like this remind you of that. This would've been huge
Beautiful angels ripped apart at birth. Helpless and limbless, I can hardly recognise you....... my partner has just suffered a miscarriage for our first child, this song is currently my therapy. Radiohead have been helping me deal with life for over 25 years.
@@jonahlouque9621 1987 what da fuk? do you have some link or something on that? if they had this song in 87, it's surprising it didn't make it to pablo honey or the bends
Red wine and sleeping pills Help me get back to your arms Long nights and bad flights Help me get where I belong It makes me crazy, maybe It makes me crazy, maybe Stop sending letters Letters always get burned It's not like the movies They fed on us little white lies It makes us crazy, maybe It makes us crazy, maybe I will see you in the next life Beautiful angel Pulled apart at birth Helpless and limbless I can't even recognize you I'm going crazy, maybe I'm going crazy, maybe I'm going crazy, maybe I'm going crazy, maybe
the lyrics make much more sense considering thom yorke's statement that Kid A was like his therapy out of depressions, see the parts with "Maybe I'm going crazy". For the album, they changed it to "I think you're crazy". Room for interpretation!
It is 1995. Thom would only perform this acoustically during The Bends tour and Ok Computer tour(Jonny happened to help this time) The picture is from the In Rainbows tour, they were playing Fraust Arp.
Did he perform it often? I’ve seen a good bit of the bends tour should but must admit there’s still a lot I’ve yet to check out. Sounds like he pulled the move from “thinking about you” from Pablo Honey. Thank goodness this is so much better -no diss to PB though. Debuts don’t have to be perfect
This song always does something to me my stomach always drops when i listen to it. I can barely listen to the full song without crying for literally no reason at all, especially this version it’s absolutely beautiful. Probably one of my favourite Radiohead songs i don’t usually listen to it though i like to preserve the feeling as much as i can when i listen to it.
because they never finished it and thus it never fit on any album. Most of the songs that end up on their albums are years old by the time they go on record. The National Anthem was written when they were still called On A Friday.

Micah Buzan You're quite a Radiohead's fan, am I right? Like, I sew you in every comment section of every Radiohead's video. Sooo this comment was totally useless, but great taste in music, for sure.
If he really wrote it on the same day as Creep, that day in songwriting (alleged to be in the late '80s when Thom was at university) stands with the day Neil Young, sick in bed, wrote THREE epic songs (two of which were later covered by Radiohead) Cinammon Girl, Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand. One thing I find interesting about Radiohead is we have no idea who he wrote Creep about- whoever it was, it was obviously the same one for whom he wrote this song the same day.
This is my favorite version next to the violin version. I love radiohead. Such a big influence in my life. So happy I got to see you guys live last year. Most memorable show I've ever been too.
i love how we all get to listen to the songs evolve. it helps me as a songwriter, to listen to the shit early version of no surprises, and then listen to the album version. this song is more problematic though... the album version is beautiful and interesting, but this is also great, and much more pop...
Wonderful performance of one of their best songs. I didn't know they had worked out this material so early in their recording career. That's a surprise. They waited that long to record it. It Also speaks to how much they had to work with, to be able to backbench this song for so long. I also love the earnest, youthful delivery. It's sounds so fresh. The performance. They became so self conscious after they became superstars. Walking away from their guitars like they did, And this song was old by the time they recorded it. Anyway: one of the marks of a great song is it sounds great no matter how it's delivered. Fast. Slow. Guitar. Piano. Whatever. If the melody and lyrics and chords are there the song is always gonna sound good. The Kid. A record is heartbreaking. So is this.
oy! sene '95, mekan Hollanda! çok acayip kafalarla çalıp - söylemişler:) bir de sanıyorum, thom yorke'un sözleriyle en çok oynadığı şarkısı da budur! kesin derin anılar var bunca oynamanın altında. bitmek bilmeden devam eden "mutsuz aşk" öyküleri gibi...
I purchased a 5-cd compilation of "unreleased" tracks on eBay 10 years ago (give or take) and it included this song, early versions of Paranoid Android, (my first intro to) True Love Waits, and some REALLY interesting songs that I rarely see and never hear about (i.e., "Far Away"). Not sure if it's still available. The purchase was bittersweet as the songs were on burned CD's and either, immediately or after a few plays, would skip. Luckily, I digitized many of them.
after listening to both versions a lot, I think I like this one better for just general listening. The one on kid a is a masterpiece and probably one of my favorite songs of all time but I feel like it doesn't have it's full impact unless I'm listening to kid a or if I'm in the right mood. This version I could listen to any day though
I'm not sure how to describe it but they've got very different moods imo. The one on kid A feels so much more isolating and cold, and the vocals in this one are more emotional
Radiohead has some more acoustic / early versions of their songs. Try the 1995 version of true love waits (on spotify) and acoustic scatterbrained and knives out are also great.
do you mean acoustic or more like radiohead? because the album "the bends" has some pretty similar songs, I'd recommend fake plastic trees if u havent heard it
