Thom Yorke on writing the Suspiria soundtrack 

Am I the only one that thinks his speaking voice has a very comfortable and welcoming tone to it..?

"Are you happy?" "Yeah, I'm alright. And you?" "I am. Today". That's a lifelong Yorke fan there. Grateful, genuinely happy to talk to him and to hear he's doing alright.

Mary-Anne Hobbes has the most beautiful voice - i could listen to her forever

Thom plays the piano beautifully. Love listening to his creative inspiration.

The last question was the question we all wanted to ask him. Thom's alright, that it all that matters ❤

I love this interview. Oh my, why do I feel like crying after that last question... 😢

God! How I love that man!

That last question started some serious emotions with me. It made me think that she was following up with the passing of his partner Rachel.. I love Thom and I’m glad for all of you reading this to be able to love him too. Love yourselves and live with purpose. ❤️

Loved LOVED this score. Just incredible and totally unexpected. It added so much to the film.

What a lovely interview and interviewer. It's rare!

Are you happy? You could tell that was not the question Thom was looking for. But I liked his answer: when I'm working. True artist.

It's great to see him so chill and loosened up. That's a big one at the end too.

. Marys last question was from the heart .Beautiful !

Such a great interview. Thanks Mary Anne, great work.

It's so amazing to see how much more comfortable he is and how much he has grown over the years. So happy for him. Seeing him in 16 days. 😌

Wonderful interview, gorgeous score, incredible man.

This is a really good interview

OH MY GOD THAT LAST QUESTION WAS BEATIFUL

Thom Yorke a truly artist.

Absolutely wonderful...

Beautiful interview. Thank you Thom and everyone involved

One of the greatest Musicians ever.

thanks for the interview, Thom seem to like it too, which is the most important thing I guess. Love it!

I'm so happy that such musicians as Thom Yorke and all of the guys in his band are all so talented and once upon a time were given these chances to grow and perform and become who they are today And especially because it's today And we live in the same time Radiohead 4ever

This is so beautiful🥺

Probably the best Yorke interview I’ve ever seen

A creative GIANT.

Absolutely beautiful

God please let him follow in the footsteps of Keith Richards and make music forever.

I want a radiohead album with all of Thoms and Johnnys knowledge and influence from doing Soundtracks turning that album into a modern classical/art rock fusion.

gorgeous.

Thom's bracelet game is strong

He looks happy

Honestly i think Thom Yorke style and ways of writing songs is totally different from other singers. And i like it! I like if the singer is different from other singers. I really like the song title i've seen it all where he duets with this Icelandic singer Björk. Oh! My gosh! This song is so emotional so does the movie dancer in the dark. If i am a singer now i would watch his interview and learn from his experiences in his life and his music. Not just him but of course singers like Liam Gallagher Nicky Wire from manic street preachers Richard Ashcroft and pet shop boys.

It really made the movie...especially the final scenes where the song “unmade” gently drones in the background while heads are exploding and naked women are dancing in a frenzy...it somehow made it hauntingly beautiful. D

Crying that Im live in RF and Thom knows and crying

Masterpiece

Always made me suspicious when i was asked this last question because i was instantly thinking "why are you asking, can't you see that?" Not anymore though, it's one of the most important questions people could ask

I fucking love this man.

You can see it in his eyes. He's not okay. This heart that makes such dark and breathtaking music is not okay. Tied up in knots, casting spells in Suspiria. You're not a very good liar, Thom.

She forgot to ask him if he knows he is, in fact, God.

In 3:12, Thom mentioned getting help from Hugh in transcribing music, what does he mean by that? I mean, how does sketching music work? does that mean Thom just play music then the "transcriber" turns it into like chords/tabs?

son de esos tipos que no queres que envejezcan mas para que puedan seguir haciendo musica por siempre....

I love you miss interviewer

You are my savior

Thom’s got a crazy laugh

love the interviewer ... Thom it not bad too

Viva Thom Yorke

Sadness Rules!!

Who's Sam?

What's the song he's playing on the guitar at the end?

I didn't know about his wife. That changes the entire context, what an intrusive and tactless question to ask during an interview. The grief is too recent.

thom yorke is happy. thom yorke is alright. this is everything i need to know

What a beautiful person Thom Yorke is. He creates gorgeous, otherworldly music despite not even knowing how to read music. He's childlike, but also wise. Emotionally open, yet strong. A true artist and an all-around wonderful human being.

"Taking the melody somewhere it doesn´t want to go" there´s a great songwriting lesson right there, perfectly voiced.

one of the greatest musicians on the planet, " i can't read music". "it was more like drawing or painting"....i fucking love this.

"Can I ask you one final question?" "No I won't" Typical Thom

I really liked that last question, though. And I think it's because I believe that it came from a place of caring and actually wanting to know, rather than just churning out the same old questions artists answer all the time. She felt sincere and his answer, although reserved, also felt sincere. I got a good vibe, anyway. I hope that he did as well because I know he's not too fond of interviews most of the time.

“I started with a script, well no, I started with evading luca for about a year” He’s so cute, I love him ❤️

You know how it is hard to explain color to a blind person? Well that's how hard it is for me to explain how much I appreciate Thom Yorke. What a gorgeous soul. A lifetime devoted to expression. Neat.

2:23 " You realize I've never done this before, right? " * Continues to write one of the best movie soundtracks of recent years *

Mary-Anne Hobbs has had a long, storied career and has interviewed Thom many, many times. I reckon they’d consider each other as friends. That last question came from a place of empathy and love. Thom replied with clarity and concision; if you can occupy your time with doing what you love, and the people with which you keep company are healthy and prosperous, well, that’s a good starting point for happiness.

I loved that last question and the way she asked it.

Holy shit, i got really emotional when she asked him if he was happy. Thom, we love you so much

I rarely buy film score soundtracks but this one is a stunner.

He's more comfortable than previous years but he continues looking somewhere avoiding interviewr's eyes, and that's so cute.

Thom’s score for the Remake and Goblin’s score for the Original are so utterly separate from each other in every way and I absolutely love both of them. Incredible.

5:35 thom laughing is the most beautiful thing in the world

She has interviewed Radiohead for a while now, she knows what she's doing people don't fuss about the last question.

I really don’t think he knows how great his work is to so many people. He is shy about his work which makes him a remarkable man.

I was really impressed with Jonny Greenwood's score of Phantom Thread last year! This year I'm astonished by Thom's brilliant score!

I understand why she asked that last question. It's because of the music he makes. Considering how often rock musicians die of suicides and drug overdoses you do have to wonder if they're happy. Looks like he understood the question as well. He gave a good, clear answer. EDIT: Also his long-time partner and the mother of his children died a couple of years ago. I know they were separated, but it must have been a tough period.

I actually cried when thomyork said he is alright.

I think he hid a lot of the true meaning behind the song Suspiria. The subtlety in the message of death and becoming one with it like a Waltz does with the body. Maybe even possibly alluding to his ex wife who passed away from cancer “when I arrive, will you come and find me? Or in a crowd be one of them?” When he gets to the afterlife, will she remember him as a conscious being or be a part of the faceless people throughout his life? A figment of his memory? I only ever found one article where someone thinks the same thing about the song but I never spoke to anyone else who shares this opinion. Maybe I’m reading to deep into the lyrics.

All of you attacking the interviewer for the last question and I'm here like, well I think the way she smiles as thom answers her questions and the way she does her expressions made me realise that she maybe deeply overwhelmed by thom's presence. It's like an old lover sincerely looking out for you. I think a friend or an admirer or a lover asked thom that last question!

This interviewer is so sweet: "Are you happy?" What other interviewers asks that? You can tell she cares about him.

I am very thankful to people, who gave Thom the opportunity to write this sountrack and to Thom himself for blessing us with his music.

Fantastic interview and interviewer! That last question was very unexpected but greatly appreciated and had a fantastic reaction. I've always wondered if Thom has been happier since his earlier depressed state. Glad to hear he is! Living happily is the key to life. Living any other way isn't living at all.

What a lovely interviewer. The perfect interviewer to interview Thom. She provides a comfortable space for him to express his interesting insights. Mary Anne Hobbs is a hero

Never seen Thom laugh so much before, I love all his giggly moments throughout!

Am I the only one or did anyone else think Thom is actually quite down? His immediate deflection of the last question kinda makes me think he's not doing great. It pains me to think of him as being unhappy so I'll just pretend he's good.

I honestly just want to thank thom Yorke. Thom your music has reached parts of my heart no other person has ever been able to reach.

That's so cool that Noah contributed his drumming to the soundtrack, and that Agnes inspired some ideas that Thom and Stanley used for the album's artwork! I wonder if both kids will pursue careers in the same fields as each parent of the corresponding gender. And what a variety of awesome laughs Thom has! They're all so distinct!

Unmade is probably the most hauntingly beautiful pieces I have ever heard. If I was still in choir, I would be requesting this as a piece to perform

I love how she asked if he was happy. That was so genuine. You can tell she cares. We need Thom happy!

Thom Yorke continues to make amazing sounds..incredible music

Mr TY the world is better for you being in it. Your music soars the heart.

The way he answers the last question hit me hard.

Thom Yorke is the most inspiring human being on earth after Michael Stipe. Love them both.

He involved his family in this record!? Such a cool dad, and what a great interview!

Nice work Thom, happiness isn't everything but it helps once in a while

I wasn't prepared to hear that last question :'(

Wonderful music, amazing show 👍🇧🇷

What a gentle talented awsome gentleman. Not a Creep at all.

i think i just went thru all the laughs of thom yorke. "Unmade" is so hauntingly beautiful.

It seemed like Thom actually really really enjoyed the interview which is rare. Lovely to see. The interviewer was fantastic!

What an awesome interview. I haven't seen an interviewer get Thom this comfortable and open in forever. She was great!

This is an amazing soundtrack that largely deals with death and loss. His lyrics are deeply personal portraits of his thoughts on these subjects. By asking if he’s happy, she’s basically applying social group pressure for him to conform to the superficial narrative that if you’re not happy, something is wrong with you. She obviously caught him off guard and I wish he would’ve been honest and said no I’m not happy and neither should you. Life’s a raw deal, the biosphere is f’ed, humans are violent destructive creatures and love is a contract with the universe that requires you experience great loss at some point.

Thumbs up if you know Suspirium is a spell and you don't care cuz its so good.

we need to be proud to have the opportunity to see him live at a concerts. someday people won't have that opportunity anymore.
