The Smile - Bodies Laughing (Live at Primavera, June 2022) 

No joke, this Bodies Laughing one was on Colin’s ‘In Rainbows’ studio blackboard photo. It started as another Radiohead tune like Skirting on the Surface & Open the Floodgates (and probably a couple others).

So sad this wasnt on the new album. What a track!

Thom playing an Ed O’Brien signature strat!

We need a studio version!!

This gives me a phased-out Knives Out vibe. Love it. Also man, that solo definitely shows off the amazingness that is the EOB Strat.

i like how johnny is using the same bass colin uses

This is perfect for Thom. Playing small venues, with his strongest instrumentalist and a new and exiting drummer. Simplifying everything by operating in a 3 peace band, and not having to play those old Radiohead tunes over and over, nor having those high expectations for every release. Now it's all about the moment, the art and being productive.

I love how Jonny and Thom alternate bass guitar and 6-string guitar duties for this project. They both look like they are having so much fun. Counting the days until the NYC leg of the tour!

The best thing about The Smile is how spontaneous and creative they get to make the music they create... it reminds me of the time of Hail To The Thief where they themselves comment that a song came out every week... 🎧

This sounds like Thom finally created a psychedelic jazz band he always wanted. I'm REALLY hoping they release another album soon, cuz I'm expecting these new tracks on a b-sides album at the end of the year. Please Please Please Please!

FANTASTIC! They literally did a live studio fade-out at the end.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got another album in less than a year

Another « new » one. The Smile is contagious.

why new album lacks this one. it's good!

This sounds a lot like The Cure, in the best way possible. Looking forward to hearing this one recorded.

Sounds so Krautrocky! Especially the bass. Reminds me of Talk Show Host and all their other attempts to sound like a 70s band.

Absolutely cannot get enough of this track, ever since they played it live in Brooklyn.

that natural fade out was next level

man, this riff is insanely good, i am fucking addicted to it

Came here to check it before listening to the new version played first in March 2024 in Belgium. Cheers!

Ed O'Brian is also somewhat present as Thom is playing his Fender signature strat!

Thom using the ed o'brien signature strat is so cool

Major key happy Thom and groovy bass Jonny is where it's at

I can't wait for a studio version of this track!

This could've fit somewhere in the middle of Wall of Eyes 👌🏻

Is Radiohead ever coming back after what we see!?, this is a never ending source of songs, Thom and Johnny inspired as if they started a band for the first time. Incredible

AHHH WHY IS THIS NOT ON LP2!!!!! please god let there be a studio version

Seriously i wasnt expecting this mindblowing and inviting song...sounds pure radiohead .

This one's GREAT.

the bass-line kill me 🔥

YES LETS GOOOO. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS ON LP02

Love the solos!! Love just about everything about this tbh, can’t wait for The Smile’s 2nd LP!

Love the playful energy to this one.

Damn at this rate we'll have a new album in a few days😂

Love this song, can't wait for them they to release it. I discovered and listening the song for the first time at TW Classic in Belgium (on June 25), and it was magic, I loved Thom's guitar solo ✨

My favorite out of all songs by the smile so far, just head over heels in love 🥰

I love this! Reminds me of Knives Out

Reminds me of "Knives Out" a bit. I love it!

can't wait for this to release after 7 years 🥺🥺

I love this! Sounds so In Rainbows or TKOL I cannot wait for the studio version

We need new album!!!

That bass line reminds me of early Cure. What a great sound. The Holy Hour from the album Faith?

amazing workload... those two legends still make progress(and so musical definition of them is still uncompleted) And this band is just, alive in the present with such a great energy. I'm happy to live with them in the same era.

LP2 finna be insane

those changes are so sick. fuck, this is so good, dude...

Bruh they made a homemade "fade-out" lmao

Man when they played this, and Thom pulled out ed’s signature. It was so crazy

Guys! You're just incredible!

This is incredible.

2:48 A clear footage of Thom Yorke trying to slap a fly

Can't wait for LP2! ❤

Addictive!! Love to see a band enjoying themselves so much, especially Thom. It's like he has found himself again!

They are on another level...

Man this is brilliant! Can’t wait for this one to come out

kind of a shame this won't be in Wall of Eyes, it's a really fucking solid track (hopefully it'll become a RH track within the next 5 years hehe)

loved the fade out!

I hope they release a high quality recording of People on Balconies

This song will be one of the best from LP2, no doubt

Great performance 🤯😍

Damn this good. This is kinda taking me back to On A Friday demos. Great sound! Hopefully we'll get an album version soon.

the bassline reminds me of moonshake by can so much. wouldnt be surprised if it was an inspiration

Perfect...

Genial!! me encanta ❤️

this song shows that Ed O'brien will always be a critical element of Thom's artistry

Outstanding. Amazing Song. Total Pleasure

Love it !!!

Sono nati per la musica.

i predicted that they’d go more psychedelic and no one believed me.

magnifique!

Amazing!

merci beaucoup

Perfect.

Love

Ohhh, nicee! Thanks!!!

Why this was not included in the new album? 😢

Agree! Saw them at Roundhouse London.... superb.

Great song, great performance.

Love this song, lyrics & tune fit together so well. Makes me feel happy. 😊 Thom seems so happy & free, wow that psychedelic guitar solo hit the spot. Makes me happy to see him so free in the moment.🙃 Bless Thom Yorke & The Smile.❤️

Wow!!

Wow!!!!

beautiful sync of Moonshake and Don't Say No

mate I'm 17 and I don't have the energy Thom Yorke has

Muito bom! 🇧🇷

Can't wait to hear this in Chicago

Has to be the first time he’s played a strat live

💖

Just a fckn genius

este tema y teleharmonic faser son 2 canciones totalmente de lo mas brillante que escuche!!! la calidad de las melodías, la estructura, los arreglos, etc etc Se viene un segundo disco maravilloso!!!

[Verse 1] Swaying side to side Doors are open wide Floating on your back [Verse 2] Just to piss you off Just to wind you up Floating on the back [Chorus] You're falling on your ass Falling through the glass And everybody's laughing Bodies laughing [Verse 3] You're snoring in the room Lapping up the soup Slipping in the mud Ah [Chorus] You're falling on your ass Falling through the glass And everybody's laughing Bodies laughing [Refrain] And we can't control it, we can't control it We can't control it anymore We can't control it, we can't control it We can't control it anymore Control it anymore [Bridge] The dogs are barking The film is crashing The tongues are lashing Slow commotion Everybody's laughing Bodies laughing [Refrain] 'Cause we can't control it, we can't control We can't control it anymore We can't control it, we can't control it We can't control it anymore We can't control it anymore (Control it anymore) [Chorus] Falling on your ass Falling through the glass And everybody's laughing Bodies Laughing Chain reacting Concertinaing 'Cause we can't control it

They are morphing sll the time!

❤❤❤❤ Loving this band, Johnny and Thom seem revitalised and are on a creative roll. Best thing they’ve done since In Rainbows. Gutted they didn’t save all these great new songs for Radiohead but I spose that’s actually the point, the freedom they’ve got to really express themselves, it’s wonderful and long may it continue!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

💎

رائعين !

How come they haven’t done a studio version of Bodies Laughing or Colours fly yet? Unless they’re gonna be on the new album??
