I love that despite how heartbreaking the message of this song is (at least in my interpretation), Thom is smiling all the way through. He clearly enjoys playing this piece (I think it's one of their best).
He did say in an interview that he wants Radiohead to be remembered with this song. Although, to be fair, he said that more than 10 years ago so he may have changed his opinion.
at that point was a mantra for him since the ok computer in 1997 and 1998 put him in a depressive state and was like a scream for i dont want to be here this is not happening for me it was like a way to reduce the anxiety and fear that thom was experimenting at that time
This song played in my head as I listened to my mum's heartbeat slow.....slow......stop. how I wished I wasn't there. It wasn't happening. But it was. This song envelops me in sadness. I wallow in that desolation and I welcome it. It means she was real. She was my home.
I love how Thom wails at the end. One of the greatest singers ever, singing one of the greatest, most emotionally powerful songs ever written/recorded.
Frank Micucci : you know, ‘Pink Flody’, David Gilmoru, Roger Watesr.... they had albums called ‘The Wall” ( those two “L”s are switched....) and “Dark side of the Mono”
Perhaps my favorite Radiohead song (though it's so hard to choose)... to me, this describes exactly what it's like to be in emotional shock/grief, an emotion (or lack thereof) I think everyone can relate to. When I first learned my dad had a heart attack (he survived and is healthy now), when I learned my online friend had died, when I got into a minor car accident... everyone has moments like that when they just don't know how to react and don't want to process or believe what just happened, so they just pretend like it didn't happen and close off all of their emotions. Different people react to stress/trauma differently, but at least I know for myself and I'm sure a lot of other people go into "I'm not here, this isn't happening" mode until they're better able to process what just happened.
Totally how I'm feeling. I struggle with depression and also have BPD so I find life difficult a lot of the time. My dad died about 3 weeks ago after an 8-9 month battle with bowel cancer. My mum has had to go into a care home as she can't look after herself. She has dementia and MS. I ended a relationship recently as my ex had a condition that made being together very stressful and upsetting. With the stress of my parents I couldn't cope with her problems as well. Now feel utterly lost and this song just keeps going around in my head. I've struggled with depression pretty much all my life but for your parents not to be there to love you unconditionally right when you need that the most is the most tortuous feeling. I don't really know why I'm saying this here. I know there will be unkindness shown I just need for someone to know how bad things are. And sneaking up on you In. This way is all I seem to have
Thank you all for your support and kindness. Things are still very difficult but I've settled down a bit since leaving my comment. Best wishes to you all
I love the facts that he walks with such an absense its actually like he's visualising himself being invisible on that stage completely alone singing his heart out.
Even though Thom's voice is still utterly amazing, I think it was most powerful during the ending of Ok through Amnesiac stage. He also looked the best during this phase to me personally. If I ever get a chance to see them live I know it will be the most special thing I've ever been through.
Honestly, kids, back in the day we used to just yell random drunken crap at concerts because the music was so loud we assumed no one could hear us. Never occurred to us that the microphones would pick it up and make us forever jokes on CZcams.
A timeless masterpiece. Britain does this sound so well. Love Radiohead and other darker soulful sounds from UK acts like Massive Attack, Portishead, Unkle, Tricky, Allflaws
What purpose has music if its not deep and sincere... I'll never understand bands that make background noise. it's like cooking food that just keeps you alive, no spice, no taste. Thank you Radiohead.
I absolutely love this song. Thank you for posting this. Every time things get hard or stressful, you just want to disappear completely... Put on that headset, sit with your eyes closed, take a breath, and listen to this song. Works every time.
got chills from this, a miracle the footage is available !! thanks !!! Radiohead is the only band that has evolved in every album, experimented and written a musical legacy for ages to come just like the Beatles...from pop rock to the most sublime and complex sound, melodic landscapes possible... The Beatles and Radiohead are IT for me...
Honestly one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.(song&performance&lyric&Thom's face full of feelings) My favourite video on youtube!...The best version of this beautiful song.
I wish I could write music like this... Just to feel it as a part of me, be able to blend in with the chords, the melodies and harmonies. This makes me whole.
I once fell in love with a person, I loved her and I wanted her to be the woman of my life. Always on the trips to her house, I thought if it would be good to remember her or bad after a while. I lived in a relationship where there was more love for me, that was not good for me, but I, blind with love, did not wear that... After a while this song broke me down a lot, for remembering her and our moments together... Today I take comfort in knowing that I truly loved someone and that I had good times with her.
I remember first listening to this song on my iPod Nano sitting in the backseat of my parent's car on a cold winter night. There was nothing special about that day. In fact, I can't remember a thing about it, other than it was the first time I heard this song.
0:27 I have a feeling that he is thinking about stay or leave the show:( And then decide to stay, to play, and he do the perfect, the best, the " can't be better" performance. My all the time favourite. Without it, world will be much poorly.
what do you mean "the guy playing the keyboard"? That is Johnny Greenwood and yes he is the most bad-ass motha-funkin' scientist there every was at a keyboard and you better remember it!@Angie Strobel
He’s always been my favourite. Ever since the Creep video when he was crunching the guitar he was what told me that there was something especially . . . Different about Radiohead. He continues to amaze me with his virtuosity.
This song got me through so much shit in the early 2000's. I'd either listen to it on my portable minidisc player on the way to my doom, or just hear it in my head when someone was telling me I was doomed. Thankfully, the doom never came - but whenever I see it on the horizon, approaching again, I play this song in my head.
Your comment just shows how much Ed is underrated. He creates a lot of the ambient sounds with his guitar and pedals that give Radiohead that distinct sound. He contributes a lot, but it's not the "sexy" stuff like Jonny, so he goes unnoticed.
how can they sound really awesome in live, like that? It's crazy how good they are. i've looked so many bands of which either lip sync or sound crap, but these guys are like omg, i can't find any crappy live performance for these and they never, and i mean NEVER , EVER lipsync live
Look at the audience. What’s missing? A thousand hands w/ no cellphones taking video’s. The good old days when you went to a concert and actually saw it through naked eyes.
0:48 "Don't play creep!!!" "Don't play creep!!!" "True love waits!!!" "True love waits!!!"
Now that's a true Radiohead fan
+George Larmon Lol nice wrecking ball cover ya cabbage
+George Larmon 😘
He says "Thom play Creep.... Thom Play Creep" hahahah
wait wtf. this video was uploaded in 2007, and true love waits came out in 2016. am i missing something here
Ritvik Karra it was previously released on a live album from 2001 I think
Thom Yorke said in an interview a couple of years ago that if the band were to be remembered by one song, he would want this to be the one
would you be so kind to share the link please.
Abhishek R sorry dude i've watched like 10 interviews and I dont remember which one it was :(
BBC 2, The Culture Show, Thom Yorke
It was in 2006, he also said it was the most beautiful thing they have made in his opinion. I wonder if he still feels that way.
Alex Fisher there going to be remembered by creep unfortunately
I love that despite how heartbreaking the message of this song is (at least in my interpretation), Thom is smiling all the way through. He clearly enjoys playing this piece (I think it's one of their best).
He did say in an interview that he wants Radiohead to be remembered with this song. Although, to be fair, he said that more than 10 years ago so he may have changed his opinion.
Some performers also smile and laugh to force themselves not to cry while singing
I was referring to a bad heart condition that was created due to stress but I appreciate your support
at that point was a mantra for him since the ok computer in 1997 and 1998 put him in a depressive state and was like a scream for i dont want to be here this is not happening
for me it was like a way to reduce the anxiety and fear that thom was experimenting at that time
He was smiling because he knew he just fucking nailed the fucking fuck out of it! ;-)
For me, the bass line makes this song. It's the cherry on top.
It’s a shame that Colin gets practically zero camera/screen time here. He contributes so much to their sound
The bass actually really forms the melody. It’s not just the cherry it’s the most important part of the instrumentation.
@@arghjayem exactly, and being a bass player myself, seeing the bass able to show itself and potential is a cherry on top. For me, anyway
For me it's Jonny on the keyboard lookin like a mad scientist
@@JamesKovacic Colin never gets enough camera time ever imo, but definitely in this song.
jonny looks like some mad scientist from 1930s
Or a young David Copperfield
I agree 💯
Despite all of the perfection contained within a song, Colin's bass line gets me every time above it all. What a band
it's the port in the storm - when everything else is swirling around it's there, anchoring you
I love how it sneaks in.
yep saw the interview its good
i cried for 30 minutes the first time i heard this. i feel this song. this song is me
this song is us*
I disassociate and depersonalize all the time so this song strikes me right in the heart chords...
@@kristimagee1543 You should maybe wait, because this song could very well enlarge their feelings of dissociation.. Use your judgement
@@kristimagee1543 That's really weird, please don't do that.
@@Anisimeria what you mean by using judgement
I have the same feeling happen
cool
5:35 gave me chills, his voice , his emotion... its haunting and yet so calm.
I still remember hearing Kid A for the first time in 2000. I'll never forget it.
The bends is their masterpiece
Just heard it 2 days ago. Still remember it
@@forshigity5000 it's one of their masterpieces, definitely not their sole masterpiece.
@@forshigity5000 probably right maybe not
Same for me. Unforgettable
This song played in my head as I listened to my mum's heartbeat slow.....slow......stop. how I wished I wasn't there. It wasn't happening. But it was. This song envelops me in sadness. I wallow in that desolation and I welcome it. It means she was real. She was my home.
How are you doing?
I love you.
Take care for yourself, if you can get through these hard times then you are worthy
Hugs💖
Stay Strong!
I love how Thom wails at the end. One of the greatest singers ever, singing one of the greatest, most emotionally powerful songs ever written/recorded.
I have not heard anything so beautiful since Pink Flody. Love Radiohead.
Angie Strobel Who?
Frank Micucci : you know, ‘Pink Flody’, David Gilmoru, Roger Watesr.... they had albums called ‘The Wall” ( those two “L”s are switched....) and “Dark side of the Mono”
@@zoltannemeth8864 on dark side of the mono the sound only comes out of the right speaker
@@pushthetempo2 their songs are very short tho😮💨
@@zoltannemeth8864why is this so fonny 😂😂😂
Maybe, their best song... simple but utterly beautiful!
I play multiple instruments and sing NOt so EZ .
How To Agree Completely...
Steven Hernandez have u listened to most of radioheads albums? idk how creep can be a top
Maybe the best song of all time.
This song is a lot of things and simple is not one of them, independently of from where you analyze it
My funeral song.
Let's hope that's a long time off.

this song reminds me of how non-attached you can be with certain things
"CREEP! CREEEEEEEEP!"
"DON'T PLAY CREEP! DO NOT! PLAY CREEP! DON'T DO IT!'
The crowd is hilarious.
Even Radiohead hates that song. They almost never play it live.

Laccronimo Secondo Sorry. i don’t understand german.
This song made me want to write them to personally thank them for being so kind as to share their work with us. Thom bears his soul.
My God! 5:22 to 6:12 - are these possibly the most tortured vocals ever recorded?
Very well said my friend, very well said.
...I mean: in a beautiful way.
it perfect
Very cathartic to sing. It must stimulate the vagus nerve something fierce.
12 people disappeared completely.
Or at least they would deserve it.....
my life is so hard right now thank you radiohead for being here
At the beginning Yorky is like just do not understand what the hell all these weird crazy people want from him
I love that Thom seems to be "in the moment".
When isn't he? :P
@@PaulJackino the song is about him not "being in the moment"...
Anyway your comment is 5 years old so i doubt you'll see this
Exceptionally good. They deserve something good for putting something like this song into the world
no doubt, this is my favorite version of the song....even better than the studio one
Totally how I'm feeling.
I struggle with depression and also have BPD so I find life difficult a lot of the time.
My dad died about 3 weeks ago after an 8-9 month battle with bowel cancer.

Hope you are doing better now, Radiohead will always be here for you. 👍
I hope you're ok now. Life can be shitty sometimes.
i hope you are feeling better, you are not alone
Thank you all for your support and kindness.
Things are still very difficult but I've settled down a bit since leaving my comment.
Best wishes to you all
@@herbieshine1312 good to know, life is a constant challenge, good things will follow!
It's crazy how i can literally FEEL this song through my whole body. My body reacts to it in a way words can't describe.
I love the facts that he walks with such an absense its actually like he's visualising himself being invisible on that stage completely alone singing his heart out.
perfection exist his name is Radiohead
Thom Yorke what a voice fragile and powerful at the same time. This track gives me goosebumps. And live... wow
I can't believe this video is 13 years old. CZcams doesn't even feel 13 years old.
17 years old now - video is a year younger than me 😢
@@camw4747 yeah, can't believe I wrote this comment when I was 16. Song is still incredible tbh.
google "convert youtube to mp3"
4:50-4:55... Jonny looks like such a mad scientist w/ the wind in his hair... just glorious
The sound that comes in after "In a little while..." is just beautiful and complements the lyrics
I'm dying. This is perfect in every way
This is one of the most psychedelic songs they’ve ever made, it’s like the apocalypse now of music.
Even though Thom's voice is still utterly amazing, I think it was most powerful during the ending of Ok through Amnesiac stage. He also looked the best during this phase to me personally. If I ever get a chance to see them live I know it will be the most special thing I've ever been through.
Josh Thomson I'm in complete agreement.
+Josh Thomson Nah he looks best with long hair
the bass line in this song is so underrated. Adds such a unique beauty to song.
They are lucky to watch Radiohead performing this masterpiece live
I don't mean to meme Radiohead, but literally hook this performance into my veins. Incredible.
@Verycoolgun shut up
what, what is that you tried to sayy?
Instructions unclear: came down with bad case of depression.
rip the souls of the 80 people who spent 5 seconds of their lives to intentionally dislike this beautiful masterpiece.
Honestly, kids, back in the day we used to just yell random drunken crap at concerts because the music was so loud we assumed no one could hear us. Never occurred to us that the microphones would pick it up and make us forever jokes on CZcams.
Lmao
Saw this live. Drooled. The end.
This song will be my funeral song. Without a doubt.
A timeless masterpiece. Britain does this sound so well.
Love Radiohead and other darker soulful sounds from UK acts like

Well said. Agree 100%.
Thanks man thats what i am thinking,
Now i can just copy this :DD
ever had sex whilst high and listening to the doors first album ?
this song... what a masterpiece... always
The way this performance builds in intensity is breathtaking. I have been a fan of this song for awhile, but this version is really something else.

finally dude i thought i was alone
The association is so obvious I can't believe we are few.
I just like the entirety of rock.
you guys think that’s rare ?
@@Adam-ro8vj 7 years ago so maybe it was rare back then
The power of his voice at the end is stunning, gives chills !
When it takes a full minute for Phil to start drumming you know it’s a good one
This is too much for this world!!
+Riviere8281 for me it is
far too much for THIS world!
Honestly one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.(song&performance&lyric&Thom's face full of feelings) My favourite video on youtube!...The best version of this beautiful song.
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
This is really good, but it is really missing something without the string section from the album.
this song destroys me and at the same time gives me such relief and happiness...
Well put!! Exactly 😅
This whole song performance is literally the most beautiful thing that has ever happened on earth
One of the most amazing songs Radiohead have ever written.
Simply Beautiful and soothing to the soul!!
Cпасибо тебе, Томашик! Нет ничего лучше во вселенной чем ваша музыка.

1:11 its like Thom was gonna go for True Love Waits but then remembered what song the rest of the band was waiting on him for
0:27 I have a feeling that he is thinking about stay or leave the show:(
And then decide to stay, to play, and he do the perfect, the best, the " can't be better" performance. My all the time favourite. Without it, world will be much poorly.
I love how thom psychs himself "down" for the song...
Absolutely awesome and fantastic live performance.
Thom is obviously delighted with their performance
How the memories come flooding. If man were perfect what a boring place this would be.
Beautiful song....envokes such emotions wow...
one of the best song and footage from radiohead
What a fantastic vocal, best I've heard Thom sing it.

I thought his on Ondes Martenot
@@iliveonatropicalisland6086 he is 🙂

this probably was the last time Thom had a hair cut
This kicks the shit out of me everytime I hear it. Cuts me in half.

einer der besten Auftritte die ich je sah...
without a doubt the best radiohead song.
