Radiohead - Reckoner (Scotch Mist) 

Johnny Greenwood, the multi-instrumentalist, film composer, music programmer, who is considered one of the greatest and most versatile guitarist of all time and part of one of the greatest bands in modern times, will now face his greatest challenge yet... The Lemon

you won't find a better lemon player on the planet i can tell you that much.

You can tell a song is a masterpiece if the drummer close their eyes while playing. Crazy.

You don't notice it, but Ed is doing some killer harmonizing in the background... it's beautiful

Yesterday I woke up, shaking a lemon

This song makes me happy and sad at the same time.

If life gives you lemons, shake the shit out of them.

Just amazing. Can't explain why Reckoner is so damn special to me but its just so damn special. Most bands start to suck after their first 3-4 albums and yet they keep going strong. Its a special thing, I tell ya...

I purchased a lemon shaker just because of Radiohead and this song.

When life throws you lemons, make a fantastic song!

I'm gonna learn to play the lemon.

I think its the best song in the album. I love this version, Johnny is a fucking genius.

Of all the times for the audio to glitch out, it's while he's singing the "In rainbows" line. Brilliant.

So cool that since the pearl jam days (which when radiohead came out) they still make fuckin awesome music. All those other bands totally fizzled out. Radiohead...best band in the galaxy.

This is the best version of this song, hands down.

Normal Singer saying the word reckoner "Reckoner" Thom Yorke saying the word reckoner "Raaaiiiiiikeeennnnnuurrrrrrr aaaurrrrrr" THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND LIONS!

thom yorke looks so cozy in that sweatshirt

This album will always be their greatest. Seriously I don't think there will ever be an album as good as this one.

The drumbeats in the Reckoner are amazing.

i can't seem to stop this video before its over. . . too good.

It is truly amazing what 5 people can do live

This is the most beautiful song Radiohead ever made. I'm not sure if its the most pioneering or best overall but its emotional and has this fantastic feel to it.

The last minute of this song is fantastic

Body: m8 you've gotta take a piss like right now Mind: but I wanna listen to these last 2 minutes though

Yorks voice melts every living cell in my body

Just realized Johnny has fluff in his hair from the Nude music video. They must've shot the Nude video mid session. Awesome.

Reckoner You can't take it with you Dancing for your pleasure. You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractor Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all you All human beings Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore Reckoner Take me with you Dedicated to all you All human beings

Radiohead are the definition of perfection, due to their eccentricity

Reckkkkkkkonnnnnnneeerrrrrr ohhhhhhh ohhhhhh oohhhh oohhhhhhhhh

Johnny Greenwood is so talented he can make a lime sound good.

King Thom the supertalent could heal the whole world with things that come naturally to him HE makes me so humble and jealous but I dearly love him his art and heart

low-key their(/the) best song ever.

Dedicated to all human beings

his voice is truly an instrument

man these guys are amazing ive just never heard a sound like theirs B4..."hypnotic"

A little over 10 years ago, a young Hearsticles decided not to go out for New Year's Eve because he wasn't feeling well. He got lucky and watched Scotch Mist live in its entirety and it was fucking incredible. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Among all his talents and multi instrumental abilities I find Jonny's lemon playing to be the most mesmerizing.

Radiohead- the soundtrack to my life.

The perfect song.

i love how its so personal when he sings in this. no fancy schmancy videos in front of large crowds. i luffs it.

So this is the lemon Thom talks about on "everything in its right place".

Reckoner You can't take it with yer Dancing for your pleasure You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractors Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all human beings Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore In rainbows Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore Reckoner Take me with yer Dedicated to all human beings

i've probably listened to this a hundred times. i love this SOOO much.

this song always brings tears to my eyes, an involuntary emotional response to being in the presence of such beauty. just soulwrenching.

Every day of the week, i wake up with this song.

Radiohead songs sometimes really cheer me up)

2:52 , how thom yorke does that with his voice is unfathomable....wow i could never do that if i tried the rest of my life. seriously play it from 2:47 a couple of times.....amazing

This song opens so many inner emotions, whether positive experiences or negative scars, it just captures you. Amazingly done, cleverly orchestrated, and brilliantly executed! Go Radiohead GO GO GO! I am a hooked up fan now.

every radiohead album has always had either the very best or most interesting songs up till that point in time. Reckoner is an extreme example of this phenomenon that no other band replicates this consistently. almost all of the album was on youtube, but the centerpiece, the new equivalent of pyramid song is this, and it's incredibly understated an perfect. although like a lot of radiohead's best, it's better in the studio- like let down, idioteque, imbw

Thank you Radiohead for calming my soul during rough times in my life... this is one of my fav tracks! Ti amo

Learnt to play this today, such a clever band, the most unique band around. I've seen them 3 times, each time has been special.

Absolutely brilliant. Best song of 'In Rainbows'. It's so perfect and fragile.

So great. Radiohead always puts the song first and the musicians second. The way it should be.

Yeah, the drumming is god tier. I've no idea the genius that goes into figuring the beat for this song, but it deserves all accolades.

It will haunt me forever this song

The most beautiful song

This song is just amazing. Radioihead really does deserve all the credit they get and just by listening to In Rainbows in it's entirety, you can hear why. I have yet to go to one of their live performances but I just cannot wait. Love this version of the song!

masterpiece album

The most beatiful track of the new album "In Rainbows" i cry each time i loud :P Greets from Chile!! come one day!!!

For a song with drums, one guitar and a couple lemons it’s bloody beautiful.

these guys are fantastic ! incredible. i need to buy this on wax

I love the introduction video to this track.

Reckoner You can't take it with you Dancing for your pleasure You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractors Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all human beings Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore In rainbows Because we separate The ripples on a black shore Reckoner, take me with you Dedicated to all human beings

I was the same way I couldn't appreciate radiohead when I first heard them but now there my fav band

gives me chills... my favorite song off of In Rainbows, definitely

Beautiful sense of harmony these guys have.

I love this genius guys! My fav song ever :)

I could feel this album so deeply when I first heard it. But this and Weird Fishes are really special to me. I don't know how to describe it but this song especially gave me a sense of moving into greater love and peace with the world and myself. Just the power of those lyrics: Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore

since I heard Radiohead music I'm a fan of them all this music is totally incredible ,tomorrow new album come out ,can wait.

this is my fav version ever.

This is one of the most beautiful peices of music I ever heard. So haunting I love the way it twists around

Yesterday I woke up shakin a lemon

God i love this version. They are so bad ass live =]

So this is my version of what I think this song means: Reckoner, someone who sees who she/he really is, and that is someone who is one with all. Each of us is aware of the experience of being aware. That experience is awareness’s knowledge of itself. That one is the one who reckons. Enlightenment is the recognition of our essential nature of ever-present, unlimited Awareness. Also called non-duality, means “not two” or “one undivided without a second”. Nondualism primarily refers to a mature state of consciousness, in which the dichotomy of I-other is ‘transcended’, and awareness is described as ‘centerless’ and ‘without dichotomies’. ( wikipedia ) [Verse 1] Reckoner - You can’t take it with you - we all seek happiness only lasting happiness cannot be found in the acquisition of objects, substances, activities, states of mind or relationships. It resides in the simple knowing of our own being as it truly is. Dancing for your pleasure - Desires which originate from an isolated self and, as a result, are fuelled by a sense of lack cannot be fulfilled by objective experience. If desires arise from our deepest love and understanding, then they tend to be fulfilled. So you seek happiness in experience. [Verse 2] You are not to blame for - I t’s like conflicts; Conflicts usually arise because other people either threaten or fail to fulfil the separate self that we imagine ourself to be. So you are not to blame because you are ignorant in your action. Bittersweet distractors - Refers to the world with all the distrations that we think that make us happy. It is not a new experience but rather something we have simply overlooked due to our fascination with the drama of thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions. Dare not speak its name - refers to God. God - infinite, self-aware Consciousness - is the unlimited, open, empty field in which all experience appears, with which all experience is known and out of which all experience is made. Dedicated to all human, all human beings - for all people if you are ingnorant unaware or knowing who they are. [Verse 3] Because we separate - When we wake up from a dream, we understand that we were not a self in the dream but rather that the entire dream took place in us. Similarly, when we wake up from the ‘dream’ of everyday life we discover that Consciousness is not in the body but that the entire body, mind and world are in Consciousness. We seems to bee separate… but we aren’t Like ripples on a blank shore - knowing, realising who you really are is like knowing that the wave is part off the sea And not separated from it. It so subtle it’s like ripples on a blank shore Because we separate (In rainbows) - Like ripples on a blank shore (In rainbows) - [Verse 4] Reckoner Take me with you - To become one! Dedicated to all human, all human beings - Some text are the words of Rupert Spira. A teacher who's Contemplating the Nature of Experience. and some comments are my interpretation. Please comment - LOVE Radiohead - love for All! -...

jonny's outro Rhodes section is great, I wish it was in the studio version.

Love the rhythm of this song!! You're so creative.. Keep on doing music for ever.

I can't even express how awesome this song is.

That moment when you realise you're gonna replay the sh*t out of a youtube video.

so many years after the Bends (which for me is their turning point in career), these guys still bring more innovation to music than all other bands combined. Reckoner uses standard instruments in such amazing ways to produce original sounds, it's almost unbeliveable.

Reckoner needs an answer/reply in a follow-up song Awakener

I fade away and be at one with myself while listening to great music an no one can take that away from me. Thanks Radiohead

I love this song, you are great!

There is just no other band out there remotely close to the level of talent these guys have....radiohead is just too good for words

greedy Thom, couldn't give ed the guitar...

there will be many poets and singers who will try to replicate the feeling of radiohead years from now and they will only offer a small fraction of the feeling we first got when we heard this song

Best band ever lived. Period. And I mean better than those guys from Liverpool...!

Wow they have so much emotion in them, and so much passion. Its so amazing to see such passionate lovers.

this is awesome but i so much prefer this with an actual piano. That synth jonny greenwood is playing just isn't as striking when it comes in.

awesome vocals on this song... it just blends in with the beat of the song hauntingly.

I could have been view number 1,111,111, instead I'm number 1,111,112...

How the hell do you go about composing a piece like this.. unbelievable. Radiohead keeps evolving for the better. Fanfuckingtastic.

Down with Google+

as a long time radiohead fan, i can fearlessly say that this is my favourite radiohead song

A shit ton more skill and talent in these artists than Niki Manaj and Pitbull.

Such a beautiful and subtle album. They fine tune their art more and more with every release.

This song is absolutely haunting... beautiful.

Radiohead is my new found emotions that I can only describe through the music. I need that in my life. Music is my coping mechanism for my moody self.

Radiohead effect. the best band of all time

I'm possibly addicted to this song. Great vid, I can't wait to see you guys on Roskilde this summer!

its nice to see a band that is focussed on the art of their craft! That is where true heart lies.
