![Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/j46QqO8IYQg/mqdefault.jpg)
This song literally helped me with my depression years ago. I was able to escape reality through this song, it helped me so much I can’t describe it. Appreciate this man
Same for me.
@@chazybrewster we made it
Same as Thom. Inspiration came from Michael Stipe of REM who was helping Thom out with his struggles with touring and fame. Stipe told Yorke just say to yourself, "I'm not here - this isn't happening."
If music can get to you during a depression....you did NOT have a depression at all. Depression would make you don't care about nothing emotionally so to claim you would get touched emotionally by a song during a depression, that's like totally the opposite of what a depression can do. Were you clinically diagnosed with a depression? I bet not.
@@flybeep1661 I was clinically diagnosed dude, my father died…
This song was also based on Thom’s experience while headlining Glastonbury in 1997 - a legendary musical event. I was lucky enough to be there.
In the great film they made about touring OK Computer, ‘Meeting People is Easy’, Thom talks about looking out over the crowd, spanning as far as he can see, and says he had a feeling which was not human and completely ethereal. This is why the song’s lyrics include “Strobe lights and blown speakers, fireworks..”.
I also relate to this song as the feeling of being detached and alienated in the modern world, which I personally feel a lot due to certain mental conditions. It’s more than transcendental music, it’s a communication of the human experience which is hard to articulate.
There’s also a great live version of this song which is just Thom and his guitar, with Jonny on his beloved Ondes Martenot (an ethereal instrument if there ever was one) and a few other keyboard players (not band members) to create that wall of sound live. I’ll post link below.
I’d like to see you do Let Down from OK Computer at some point. My personal favourite.
How to Disappear Completely - live. Stunning.

Michael Stipe suggested Thom repeat the phrase: "I'm not here, this isn't happening" to deal with stress of touring.
Never heard this before- surreal, beautiful, disconcerting- thanks for the reaction.
Whole album is 🔥
this is arguably Radiohead’s best song and best album
@GaranHollow Agreed, Thom even said in the interview that he thinks this is their best song
@@garanhollow4493It’s not really arguable, it’s just obviously their best song
You know a song is powerful when multiple people I've sent it to as a kind of intro to Radiohead told me the were crying during it. So much to say but will just point out per your remarks about their Cinematic quality - lead guitar and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Greenwood has been nominated twice for Academy Awards for orchestral film scores and is one the most highly sought out composers in modern cinema (he has done every one of brilliant Director Paul Thomas Anderson's films since they first linked up in what would become for both of them their master work - "There Will Be Blood"). Never a bad quality to have from your lead guitar player and #2 in the band! Thom also scored his first film "Suspiria" a couple years back. But Jonny is a genius of a entirely different type - his movie work is truly incredible, and while Thom writes virtually all the song cores (with some scattered exceptions) and lyrics, it is the combination of Thom and Jonny that really drives this band to the highest level. The other guys all do their parts with absolute mastery as well as does their Producer Nigel Godrich who is also - while being like their unofficial 6th member - very sought out by other big names like Paul McCartney and Beck and plenty more. This song is something special, for sure.
@dreww I wanted to tell these guys about the band and it’s intricacies. Especially regarding Jonny. But you’ve done it for me! Cheers.
Ps.. Thom makes great solo albums which are mostly electronica.
‘The Eraser’ and ‘Anima’ are especially good.
Exit Music (For a Film) is a Radiohead song you might enjoy.
I saw them on this tour, a few weeks after Amnesiac had dropped. Mind-blowing.
That's when Radiohead was at their prime live in my opinion! I saw them then too and a bunch of times after . And they never sounded as good as when they were performing during the "Kid a/Amnesiac" era! 🥰
I hadn't heard this before either. At first I was thinking, I don't know it's too slow for the mood I'm in but then, I'm a musician and a composer and in the end, this kind of thing will get to me every time. It really was a subtle atmospheric feeling with interesting melodies and chord structure and sonic textures.
The best thing about Radiohead is their music gets so much better with repeated listens and like Floyd they are a listen to the whole album kind of band the more you listen the more you will rewarded they are the one band that reminds me of the Beatles always evolving none of their albums sound the same. If you want to check out something amazing watch the In Rainbows basement session with a good pair of earphones they pull all of their music off live with no tape recorders and they are great live.
@@jameshannagan4256 I haven't seen the basement sessions, I will check it out.
This song is super trippy driving in a car. I remember listening to it driving home from the hospital in the blazing summer heat after my mom had passed away and i was in a daze.. i chose to amplify that feeling with this song! I went deep into this feeling. Although i was devastated the memory of this feeling put me in my own movie with me as the lead character im my own tragedy.
Thank God you reacted to the album version. Live version of this song can't do it justice. My fav Radiohead song...
The Kid A album was my first introduction to Radiohead. By the time this track came along (#4 on the album), I was enthralled and I knew that I had to hear all of their work. A fantastic ride!
Masterpiece. Absolute masterpiece.
@SyedRewinds as a testament to how one can be hit differently by a piece of art... When I hear this I can almost feel the horror, my server social anxiety had me feeling in my younger day, when I was trapped in a social situation, be it school or something else. Wanting to close my eyes and pretend I disappeared, no one can see me. I am 46 now, but this track is so well made it transports me there. Tom's voice packs such an emotional punch.
Same - childhood trauma and disassociation, this song perfectly describes the survival techniques of my early years
I’m in my 50s and the nightmares are gone but this song does hopeful hopelessness better than any other
Oh and that last bit where his voice battles the dissonance and wins is just the dogs proverbials
@@cgallagher4501 EXACTLY!
TIL: The Liffey is a river that flows through Dublin, Ireland
This song is hauntingly beautiful
Listen to "Just" for the exact opposite of this beauty. Shows the insane breadth of their talent.
This song is so beautiful it makes me tear up. Radiohead just hit the soul in a particular way that no one else does. It’s not the type of music you dance to , or sing to , just listen to. Engross yourself in every note. True art.
Told ya!
Great reaction man
would highly recommend Daydreaming from Radiohead's 9th album, their most cinematic and orchestral album, i think you would love it
Beautifully haunting.
Beautiful song. I’ve listened to radiohead since the beginning and this one makes me tear up every time
Awesome reaction! I’ve watched your Pink Floyd reactions as well- very astute and respectful to the art form. More Radiohead please! Some recommendations: weird fishes (please!), all I need, daydreaming, motion picture soundtrack, national anthem, bloom, desert island disks, in Rainbows whole album. Also, other artists you might like: Grateful Dead (wharf rat, ripple, dark star); miles Davis (say what- actually all of Kind of Blue): chief Adjuah (ruler rebel, phases): Pearl Jam (black, Jeremy, alive, daughter ) ; 311 (all mixed up, down)
Enjoy! Go Liverpool ✨🤙✨
Kid A > OK Computer
In Rainbows > Both
@@James-lk2sg nah Ok computer OWNS EVERY ALBUM BEFORE AND AFTER
@@jorgekechcrazy opinion in rainbows is the best
Meh… the first one always wins…
All of them are the best
One of the best songs ever written. Great review.
Fun fact when asked in a interview what song he would like to be remembered by he said this song with no hesitation
I’ve never heard this song before. This has the feel of trip-hop to me…..even shoegaze. I don’t know Radiohead at all….but this song makes me want to investigate them. What songs or albums would some fans here suggest to a newbie to this band?
Paranoid Android is one of their best known, with a similar ethereal sound.
this is not shoegaze. at all
Man what I would give to be able to be in your shoes having not heard much of them before. I’d recommend their album “Ok Computer” or, their most accessible album is probably “The Bends”.
OK Computer is perhaps their masterwork but it depends on your specific taste as they’ve covered so much musical ground.
I have consistently found that their most accessible albums to newcomers are ‘The Bends’ for brilliant alternative melodic rock and ‘In Rainbows’ for a warm beautiful mix of all their styles.
So, this is hard because there's really no bad Radiohead and they really are more of an "album" band. But . . .
For songs: Paranoid Android, Reckoner, There There, Let Down. Karma Police, Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit, 15 Step, Pyramid Song, The Daily Mail (live, and a bit of a deep cut), True Love Waits. I am in no way listing all the good ones.
For Albums: OK Computer, In Rainbows, and Kid A. Many people would also add A Moon Shaped Pool.
Hope that helps your journey.
The film score reference is valid. Johnny Greenwood the guitarist has written the musical score for several films.
Never heard that this song came from a dream he’d had. Huh …
Great job!!!
Funny you say it sounds like a score to a film as Jonny Greenwood, the one who wrote the strings section, went on to write movie scores filled with eerie sting sections like the one in this piece.
Thom Yorke considers this the best song they ever made.
As far as being cinematic, OK Computer has a track entitled "exit music for a film" and its a bloody masterpiece. They named their follow-up Kid A because it represents a new beginning for the band, happening at the start of a new millenium, with technology changing the paradigm. Kid A is named Kid A because he's the first post-human. The first track on the album is Kid A waking up.
Youve got to react to Child in Time by Deep Purple Live in 1970
This song has a complex mess of Meter and each instrument has its own metric. When a song takes you out of the road of the obvious 4/4, is when our confused minds take us to mental spaces, we wander like in a dream.
This song make me want to put on a Elvis jumpsuit and sip on a 3 finger glass of cooled Chivas while watching hippos mating in a zoo.
Bobby, you still wearing that Elvis jumpsuit? lol..... Your taste in scotch is top notch.
@@ziggymarlowe5654 You bet Ziggy, special occasions like a lunar eclipse ahhaha
That’s disturbingly detailed….😏
@@ziggymarlowe5654 Nah,…gotta go single malt!
awesome comment
You really need to do some Joy Division
This song has nothing to do with dreaming and his guy mentions it like 57 times.
😭😭😭
the weird synth as you call it is named "Ondes Martenot". Here's a not too long vidéo with Jonny Greenwood about it : czcams.com/video/B92ZgRSM2tI/video.html&ab_channel=Radiohead%27sinterviews%27archive
What is a Liffey?
It’s the river that flows through Dublin, Ireland.
Try motion picture soundtrack
I wonder if he sings 'float down the Lethe' rather than the Liffey. Makes more sense to me.
the Liffey is a river
@@anthonyorr8868 indeed. It’s the river that flows through Dublin. I believe it’s where Thom was when he wrote the lyrics.
@@anthonyorr8868 In Ireland. Yes, I know. But the Lethe is a river in Hades, & to drink from it was to forget your earthly life.
@@davidburke2132 Ah. If that's the case it makes sense - otherwise picking the Liffey seemed a bit random.
@@diogenesagogo just to say, this song isn’t actually about dreaming or being in a dream state. It’s a response to not being able to handle the pressure and attention that comes with success. When Radiohead started to be successful Thom Yorke really struggled with it. The band toured with REM and Thom became quite close with Michael Stipe and apparently asked him how he coped with fame and all of the attention he got and the advice when he felt this way was to “pull the shutters down and keep saying, ‘I’m not here, this is not happening’”. It’s about shutting out the outside world as a coping mechanism, not actually about dreaming.
You’re not doing yourself a favour by listening to Radiohead song by song. Their vibe is by ALBUM. Once you get to reacting to their whole albums, I’ll check out your reactions.

Do yourself a favor and stop talking over the song.
I love Radiohead, I love listening videos, but this feels like a cash grab. Seeing comments on the bottom is so weird....
. Sorry. I hope I am wrong. Much love. Love.
Kid A gotta be one of the most overrated albums ever. At most, it is a 4 out of 5 album, but people treat it as a masterpiece.
Brian Eno did the electronic stuff way before and better in the 70s. There’s nothing innovative here. The second side of Low by Bowie is also infinitely better.
No.
GATEKEEPER BEWARE
what brian eno did in the 70s is almost totally different from what Radiohead did in Kid A, only treefinger is related, Kid A is innovative for having combined disparate genres such as IDM electronica, free jazz, early atonal music from the 20th century with the sensibility of pop rock, if you think it's not a masterpiece then you know little about music
Lol!
Thom Yorke always said that he loved Glen Camble. Wichita Lineman, I think might be an example of an oblique narrative writ large.
That might explain the cinematic scope and the ideal for any artistic endeavours, no matter how big or small
You’ve got to do codex and Pyramid Song, it will blow your fucking mind. Sister songs for me.
Your channel has a very strong foundation. You might be the first person that I go Patreon to.
If anybody reads this, can you please tell me how you do it because I’ve just just looked and I can’t see how you do it
