You say the listener is left exhausted at the end. I'd argue, that if you're in pain, you feel soothed at the end. Radiohead songs are "sad", yes. However, listening to them somehow "validates" my experience. I feel as if the music is telling me that what I am living through is real, its ok and Im not the only one, even if I am alone. Through that validation, comes an underlying peace. The blissful feeling akin to a cool towel on a scorching day.

I think mileage may vary from one person to another. I struggle with anxiety (and I'm starting to wonder if depression too), and this track makes me feel so much existential dread. The whole listening experience is almost unbearable, even at the end when the built up tension "resolves". I still adore the track, but I wish the last minute or so could be extended for another 30 seconds at minimum.

I grew up on Radiohead, being a male and experiencing sexual abuse with an adult at age 11, it was all I had, I was the class clown, I was seemingly the happiest kid and made everyone laugh and got in trouble constantly. Having this song, this band IMO the greatest band on this planet, was what keep me from ending myself. I was able to surrender and disappear completely into my emotions and feelings. At that age, I was seen as a victim, everyone I knew found out, people used my experience and made it their own and talked about it without my consent, I just wanted to be swallowed whole and return to source. I would come home after school and cry whilst I listened to my beloved Radiohead, the only one that understood what I was feeling. So haunting, so painful, so beautiful and poetic. I am so happy that life brought me to them because it carried me, yes, in perpetual sadness but alive and well. Thank you Radiohead for sharing your pain, it carried and shaped me. I love you so much.

Wow...just...wow. I'm a muscian. At 58, and after 2 failed careers - one as an architect, another as an academic. I didn't start playing seriously until I was 51. Last year I recieved a diagnosis that explained everything - the anxiety, the depression, the suicidal thoughts, and my lifelong status as an outsider who was bullied and abused every step of the way by almost eveyone. Most horribly by my own mother. In ways impossible to describe with words. Last year I learned that I'm autistic. Music was my only refuge, and when I discovered Radiohead, I had the same reaction as you ShivAgni. It was a revelation. Another whole level of understanding and connection. I knew I wasn't alone. My mother died recently. My tormentor. The monster under my bed is finally gone. I gave a concert a few days after getting the news. It turned out to be the greatest performance I've ever given. "How to Dissapear Completely" is one of it's most imporatnt songs, because it describes how I coped with the repeated traumas inflicted by my mother as a child: Dissociation I'm not here This isn't happening When something so terrible happens that it's beyond comprehension, the human psyche dissociates from reality. Or mine did anyway. The song itself as I arranged it isn't especially difficult to play from a technical standpoint for me. But from an emotional standpoint, it's always devestating, because I'm reliving the worst moments of my life. I wear dark glasses to hide the tears that stream involuntarily from my eyes. My voice almost breaks as I sing the words.... ...and when it's over, I'm healed. But that's not the most amazing part. I used to be afraid to play the song for audiences because it was so dark. It took so much out of me. I felt so exposed and vulnerable. But I played it anyway one day - mainly because I was doing a 4 hour gig, and was almost out of songs to play! How to Dissapear is again, "easy" (technically) for me. I know it by heart because it so perfectly describes how I survived. So I played it. ...and a couple of young guys - teenagers - applauded as I finished... Teenagers. That's how I know if I should add a song to my regular repertoire: If teenagers and children like it, it STAYS. Because they haven't had their souls crushed by the world yet. They still know what's important and real. You can hear and see my performance of How To Disapper Completely here on RU-vid if your interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6KScHf-t26U.html The world is such an awful place in so many ways, especially for those of us who are different. If it wasn't for music, and artists like radiohead I'd truly be lost....or worse.

@@Adam-ro8vj I'm 32 now, and I grew up absolutely idolising this album and Radiohead. Yes me and me friends smoked weed and dropped lsd in woods and attics etc, and talked about pretty much everything spiritual and literal you can think of. I still speak to some, but not others - life is very much like that. Your friends though - just give them a call mate. They'll love to hear from you, I Guaran-Fucking-Tee it. Humans are like that. I was gna cut off my msg there, but I hope this may help you: Something an old GF told me some 8 years ago. She's a Dalkey girl, and no stranger to the woes of men (having 2 older brothers). She once told me one night, that it is absolutely Essential to have music in your heart and head that makes you upset. Music that makes you cry. Music that makes you FEEL. It clears the pipes - be it veins, lungs, eyes, ears or mouth. Being able to make yourself sad, every now and again, is the most immense release when you wake up the next morning. And brother, she was right. The smile you have that next morning after such build up.... well.... I suppose you know but don't know the "trick" to it. Life is heavy, and has never been easy, but there is true joy to be had. And to enjoy the joy you must learn to enjoy the sorrow. I hope you do well for yourself mate. And hope you absorb this message that I keep close to my heart every single day. X

Granted, we are living in a period of history where travel and movement is not ideal, nor allowed per se, but weathering storms is one thing that we all have inside us. Trust, that shit is true! I'm from a small village myself, and I left when my mum took my sister to Australia. Amazing how "home" can change into the "surface of Mars" once that happens. I don't like giving advice ,so I won't. All I will say brother is... It's worth doing it on your own. And remember what my ex gf said, music is there for all emotions. "Venting" your sadness is damn useful every now and again, but also focus on the mornings after... It's almost like weeping a wound. When you wake up smiling the day after, you'll understand.

As someone who experiences depression and disassociative episodes, How to Disappear Completely is the first song I've ever heard that captures my exact feelings of feeling alone and not really part of the world around you. The tense strings in the back of the mix. The absolute apathy that the lyrics are delivered with. The way how when you listen to it you feel weightless. Fucking amazing song.

KID A came out as my marriage was falling to pieces. I worked alone all day and listened to the album constantly. My home life was a nightmare and I completely lost any feeling of self worth I hung on for dear life because I couldn't conceive of a situation where I wouldn't be there with my daughters. The music, the lyrics even the cover art resonated perfectly with how I was feeling and it became the soundtrack to my eventual collapse. I couldn't listen to it for years and then a couple of years ago I passed Cobb records on the way hone and bought ok computer and Kid A. I was fine until I got to this track and then I had to park up because I was crying so much I couldn't see where I was going.Life is good now but I think I learned that there are some things that you shouldn't expect to get over.

This song means more to me than any other song. It may seem very "childish" to some, but here's my story: When i was about 16, I can truly say i fell in love with a girl. I quickly realized it wasn't just going to be some highschool hook-up. No matter our differences, i kept falling deeper and deeper into love & emotion. It lasted about 4 years, spending every waking moment with someone. We became helpless romantics, even though we were so different and had so much confliction, until she snapped one day, and called it quits. For the first half of my senior year, while everyone was having the time of their life, I was alone. I knew my friends weren't going to stay when we graduated, and i lost all love i used to feel. All i could do was listen to this song with my headphones in through the whole winter. I'd just stand around during lunch and brunch listening to this just wanting to give up. Eventually, after an incredibly dark winter, i found my way out. I always reflect on this time period. things are better now.

Trigger Warnings: It's amazing that he chose this song from the album Kid A. In the early early 2000s after I had gotten this album so much bad had happened. This album and this song was what I was listening to after my boyfriend had disappeared. After he came back he had checked himself into the hospital and was put into the psychiatric ward. I was alone in our apartment feeling more alone than ever all while I was blamed for his depression and all that was going on. It was a freezing cold and bleak January and then I got extremely sick not knowing what it was. I went to emergency and when I was asked if there was anyone for them to contact I told them my boyfriend was in the psychiatric ward. Then as I writhed in extreme pain on the table they sent a man in who treated me like a criminal. That I was faking the pain to just be close to my boyfriend. Finally through the pain I was able to say to him something along the lines of " Do you really think that I am faking throwing up bile??" They kept me in emergency for a bit and then sometime late a nurse was shocked and indignant that I was still there because I had supposedly been released. I was scared but I got up out of the bed. As soon as I stood I knew something wasn't right. I got dressed and got my things. I got a taxi home all the while knowing I was better off at the hospital. As soon as I was at my apartment door opening it I had the extreme pain in spasms. It continued for weeks with me on the couch constantly. I couldn't eat or prepare myself anything. The only thing I ate was crackers for weeks and water. When I was finally taken somewhat seriously by my boyfriends family his aunt who had been a nurse brought me packages of electrolyte solution believing I had a bad flu. I continued to be alone and in pain sleeping when I could and waking up from the pain. The pain was enough that I had to make noise. I got better but it came back again and this time when my boyfriend had been released from the psychiatric ward. While I was sick and alone the nurses told him to not leave to come help me and he listened to them which I was angry about. But when I started getting sick again not long after I started feeling better I was at emergency again. This time they admitted me to the hospital and did many tests. They even gave me my own room. The way they treated me the second time I always thought they did because they were trying to cover their asses to not be taken to court. I had had an ovarian cyst which was positioned in such a way that my uterus had prolapsed to the left and everything was blocked. And it was positioned in such a way that it had been hard to see when they did the ultrasound. After I was kept in the hospital and I was clear to go home I may have listened to this album and this song sometimes but when I did it just brought back too many of the horrible, dark and stinging feelings that were still quite fresh. Since then I haven't listened to it. Watching this video was the first time I had heard this song since then and it takes me back more than twenty years to a time that oddly enough had been the biggest nightmare of my life even after living in a broken home with a very severely mentally ill mother. I love Radiohead but I know I have avoided listening to this album for a reason. It expresses the feelings of a human soul that usually can never be expressed in words. The intense grief of aloneness, isolation, rejection, of being let down by life, of abandonment and of being unloved and hated and blamed. This song was majorly triggering for me and now I have to do what I can to process it as I have all my life. I wish and pray for peace on everyone who found themselves and their pain in this song the way that I have.

I was there at that gig in 1997. I'd been dumped weeks before. It was the usual story: I liked her, she didn't like me. Which was disappointing because she spent considerable time telling me she did like me, which is how we ended up together. One of the first things I bought her was Radiohead's The Bends. The instant classic. I thought she'd be as into that idea of being isolated, together, as I did but I was wrong. It was an omen for me because if she didn't like that then it was hard to imagine that below the powerful emotions I was feeling that underneath it all we really had anything in common, or that we really knew each other at all. Weeks later we split up and I was alone and I started telling friends I wanted to go to Glastonbury. It was pretty sad because I was going to continue living that relationship in my imagination. I hitched there across England alone feeling the experience would be cathartic and I remember standing in the crowd in the rain watching their famous 1997 Glastonbury concert in a huge crowd but all by myself. Thom shouted at the lighting engineer to turn the light onto the crowd se he could see us. It definitely felt like being part of something. Thom made it clear it meant something to him, and the crows made it clear it meant something to us, and it meant something to me. It was felt, it was meant. During No Surprises a fireworks display started far in the distance in I have never been completely sure if it was part of the gig or it just happened that way. All I had to do after the concert was finished was work out how to get home. I had left the people I'd hitched with in a car in the queue to get in realising I'd be faster walking than they would be and I was ready to do it by myself. I never saw those people again after I got out of the car.

That's my favourite Radiohead song as well. It helped me to cope with anxiety and depression couple of years ago. Every time I was desperate and alone, I listened to "How to Disappear Completely" and sang the chorus together with Thom, "I'm not here, this isn't happening", like an escape from that horrible reality, crying like I have never did before. At the end of the song, I felt like all the pain and suffering was gone and I could be at peace for a moment. For some reason, even if I didn't know about the story behing this song, I knew it was something familiar, something that I experienced before in a certain way.

Hearing the story of the song actually shocks me, because the song felt like a coping mechanism for me since the first moment I heard it, the song calms me down immensely, and the line "I'm not here, this isn't happening" didn't feel like a line born from dissociation directly, but rather as a mantra for oneself when pressure and anxiety are too much, and when that pressure and anxiety are washed away, you get the beauty at the end of the song.

I always thought it was clever how they kept the acoustic guitar distant and cavernous in the mix, while Yorke's vocals sit front and center.

It ties in with the track's themes of stress induced dissociation beautifully.

What sets Radiohead apart from every other band, to my mind, is the way that they can take intensely personal experiences and, rather than recounting them for catharsis, they go a step further, abstracting away the personal story, but leaving intact its more universal underpinnings for any listener to empathize with. This is a great example of their ability in that regard; you would never know the story behind How to Disappear without some explanation, but you always knew that feelings the song conveyed. They happened to be Thom's at the time, but they belong to all of us at one time or another.

I have a pretty destructive combination of mental health diagnoses. This band in many ways has narrated my journey in navigating my life and has literally been the soundtrack. When this album came out I was at a climax of self destruction. I was having episodes of dissociating and when I would come back to the world it was to this song most often. I have never really felt myself or my life reflected in anything around me. I see myself in this song, especially at that time. I see my struggle to find any semblance of stability. I was burning far too brightly. It's amazing the power of seeing yourself. The relief of shared experience. I would like to believe that this music is at least partially responsible for me being able to claim any sense of self and worth and stability I have today.

@@jumpinjohnnyruss yes. That defines the song harmonically, what chords will sound familiar, dissonant, how the musicians feel it, what scales are used...

@@jumpinjohnnyruss you're right, you can technically write any piece in any key you want, but for the sake of convenience people choose the most obvious key most of the time, and consider the song to stay in the same key unless there is substantial reason to change it up. Tbh How To Disappear is difficult to qualify because of all these dissonant notes, it is in F#m but the modes keep changing etc

"How to Disappear Completely" reminds me of driving curvy, foggy Missionary Ridge with my partner in crime, Jaimie, before the bottom dropped out. Melody's not dead, but those times are. Things disappear. Rarely completely. This is prolly my favorite Radiohead song as well. Excellent video. Props!

This song got me through the last year of a prison sentence where I was completely isolated because of covid. Before making judgments, I was in for selfdence and the other guy came of worse. Origanaly I did six years. That last year I got Kid A from the library and played it on my guitar and sang it to myself. It helped me alot.

I’m glad you’re doing better James. I would hope most don’t judge you for the sole basis that you served time. Many who end up in prison do so from mistakes and spurs of the moment that others could easily find themselves in as well. As someone who also finds solace through music, I can relate and respect what you’ve been through, and am glad you’re in a better place for yourself. Keep striving for happiness, it is far from hopeless. Happy holidays

sorry if it has no correlation with the subject of the video. My beginning in music came when I first heard Linkin Park when I was about 5-7 years old. Then I got to know electronic music, I went from Dubstep to Drum And Bass, then to House and techno, to commercial and underground music, Synthwave, among others. Suddenly I remembered a game: Minecraft, and the music of it I started researching about his music and who made it. As a result of Google, C418 appeared, and from that day everything changed for me. I got to know environmental and minimalist music; later for things in life I met vaporwave (actually I already knew it only that I did not give it importance), and finally listen to the name of a style: Experimental I started out by listening to Kiasmos, Christian Löffler and Tycho. Suddenly I hear an unknown name: Radiohead ... I had never heard it and when I heard the first albums, I passed by, then I listened to Kid A and I was fascinated, I had not heard similar sound. From there I also met Animal collective. My main influences to dedicate part of my life are Radiohead, Animal collective and C418. Right now I am saving to buy equipment to produce.

I downloaded kid a and heard how to disappear while entering a depressive period on the way home from school and was brought to tears, I’ve never felt such a connection - every lyric summed my situation up and it became my favourite song then because it was there when no one else was and the climatic end has me in tears every time I listen- the song single handedly made me a massive radiohead fan and i fell in love with them at that first listen- its awesome

watched this earlier and smoked a bowl and just sat and listened to the song. there are certain songs that give me chills and the feeling that the sound is flowing through every part of my body, and weed helps amplify that experience. having heard the story behind this song, and then listening to it, i was entirely immersed and consumed by this genuine fucking masterpiece. i sat there feeling as though i was floating down the liffey, being chased by the wave. i was able to truly disappear for five minutes and fifty five seconds, i was able to feel his rock bottom, repeating that phrase just to cope with the fact that everything i’m doing goes against what my soul is so desperately trying to tell me, but continuing to further push myself away from reality- anyways, definitely my new favourite radiohead song and if you happen to see this, thank you for taking the time to make this video, and convincing me to take the time to truly sit, listen and appreciate this song. peace n love

I love this video and i hope it gets way more views than it has already, this was such a trip for just 12 minutes, i'm impressed by the way Radiohead keeps surprising me through the years and i'm really happy that i am not the only one. Great job man, hope to see more of your videos soon.

This was beautifully done. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Radiohead hits me on an emotional level like no other band quite does. They have gotten me through so many dark moments and provided me with solace. The last live show I saw before Covid hit, lockdown started and concerts were halted was Thom Yorke at the Santa Barbara Bowl. His encore finale was Like Spinning Plates. If that is the last song I ever hear live, it is somehow quite fitting and I could live with that. I hope I don’t have to of course.

I was so glad when Thom said that because How to disappear completely was always my favourite Radiohead song. The first time i heard it i remember thinking this is very horroresque at the beginning, quite scary then the vocals came in and i imagined to be a song through the view of a ghost going wherever it pleased etc... but as time went on and the more i listened to it, it becomes almost a soundtrack to the feeling of memories and passing moments, its very sad but theres something warm and comforting in itself. I always thought itd be great as my funeral song but i think it would just destroy everyone emotionally. So i'll go with Highway to hell instead.

Radiohead’s short “documentaries” (usually historically tied to the creation process of one of their songs) that I’ve seen to this day are actually always something big and something to learn from - musically, philosophically, etc. Glad to see another one of quite a few of that kind from you, and well made, gotta say

Great job on this mini-docu! i've never been one for analysing lyrics, but now knowing the story it does add something 'human' to the melancholy vibes of that excellent song. Personally, while Kid A is arguably Radiohead's most cohesive & overall finest album, my two personal favourite songs are from the follow-up: Pyramid Song & Like Spinning Plates: the wild attack of goosepimps I get every time from those two are off the scale. No idea what the lyrics are about, mind.
