The final track in Radiohead's Kid A. Motion Picture Soundtrack is a hauntingly beautiful track written around the same time as creep, but why was it kept on the shelf for so long?

Thom has said that the name "Kid A" is supposed to be that of the first cloned human, and read in that light, Motion Picture Soundtrack is an ode to a failed experiment, who was abandoned once they lived out their scientific usefulness. It's bitter and dissonant because their death was senseless, not beautiful or mournful. It's a dirge for a person who lived life without meaning.
Great series, reminds me of a sort of "what if" scenario if Jschlatt's OK Computer series wasn't cut short by copyright.
that's exactly what I was thinking rn
That's what the series is based on, actually.
this song and how to dissapear completely are so beautiful. I can't even begin to express myself why they just are
based
This is what Schlatt would've done if he didn't care about copyright
I like the line 'I will see you in the next life' deeply sad but has such a finality to it, like Thom is singing with the last bit of air in his lungs. Brilliant band
The last time this song was played live was July 7, 2001. Which is my date of birth. I got into Radiohead in high school which was after my mom had been dead for several years. Those lyrics "I will see you in the next life" always hits me like a train.
This is definitely the saddest song they've done from my perspective. It's not just the lyrics eluding to suicide, but the pining for someone, who I interpret as another victim of suicide.
"Help me get back to your arms" "beautiful angel, pulled apart at birth" "maybe I will see you, in the next life."
It's that kind of low when that close person who functioned as a vital organ is ripped from you. The song just gets that putrid mix of sorrow, isolation, loneliness and bitter pain that that particular experience dredges up.
Motion Picture Soundtrack is the most gut wrenching song I've heared thus far in my life.
Motion Picture Soundtrack is one of my favorites from Radiohead, it's heartbreaking & beautiful, and has made me cry several times. Unlike a lot of the other saddest songs in my opinion (No Surprises, Codex, Give Up the Ghost, How to Disappear Completely, and Nude are among my top picks for the saddest), Motion Picture Soundtrack just sounds so flat, and done with life, it sounds tired & ready to leave, which is exactly what it portrays in the lyrics. Then, the harp comes in and it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in a song. Its almost like the singer is transitioning from tired & done with life to recognizing the beauty of this death, and somewhat cherishing the goodbye. However messed up it may be, my best listen to this song was when I was staring at the stars late one night, and was wanting to end my own life. It made the song hit so much harder, I felt it in every cell of my body, and after hearing the "See you in the next life" I ached that I still existed, and yet also was relieved I did. Life hurts, man, I'm glad we have music to support us through
no seriously that Mackenzie May video is powerful. it's a haunting video as well.
Did you know Motion Picture Soundtrack & Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd not only are in the same key, but have the same first chord on the same instrument
MPS is freebird 2
I’ve absolutely loved watching this series - a more than worthy successor to what could have been if Schlatt completed his OKC tribute. I think I’d be cool if you continued this series with other non-Radiohead albums you enjoy, I’d definitely watch that
I appreciate that a lot! I am definitely thinking about making more!
It's not only the saddest radiohead track it might be the saddest song ever.
Hey I know the arranger of that Stampede band cover, and I've actually stood in front of the band as they played this a few times. When I was in the band it was still a brand new arrangement. They still play it to my knowledge during stampede week.
I really wish that Thom would have kept that last verse, but it wouldn't have been as powerful as it is on KID A. I love the old versions of Radiohead tracks so much.
I live in Northern Virginia and I can’t remember the last time I thought about WHFS 99.1. They were a great alt-rock station. Spot on analysis of this song. It’s one that’s continuously grown on me since I first heard it when the album was released in 2000.
Honestly I think Motion Picture Soundtrack is the saddest song despite what the gloom index says.
It is, with Street Spirit en my humble opinion
@@alejo7365 I never asked.
@@goon-705 Wow, why so hostile?
@@alejo7365 You reply to MY comment, acting all [nerd emoji] and adding nothing of value to my comment, and you expect me to act as if this is the pinnacle of replies.
@@goon-705 They did add something to your reply though. They 1. agreed with you showing that you were not alone in your opinion, and 2. suggested another song that they found just as sad.
I love this song its my absolute favorite by them. One thing on the Kid A blips is that the GMO bear keeps their eyes closed not blinking or stareing
I always thought the ending was the ascension of the soul to heaven. This was a good video man. I’ve seen that band perform at that man’s funeral years ago. Still come back to it. Always brings a tear to my eye. I personally don’t think this is a good funeral song…. But to each their own.
I really don’t think this song is about moving on though. Or enjoying the good times. It’s pure tragedy, I think the ending spells that out pretty clearly. The person dies… than silence…. Than something that borders on the unknown is heard. Like something that is moving faster and faster, than silence. The ending really gets to me. I know music is subjective and all that… the ending is scary and beautiful at the same time. Was his soul ascending and let into heaven and that’s why it stopped? Or was he rejected and sent into nothingness and that is the reason it stopped? Or something different altogether?
Probably the most powerful piece of music I’ve heard that isnt a Christian hymn.
Hey there, im a member of the CS showband brass line, we're a marching band based out of Calgary Alberta, Canada. I wont say much as we keep traditions secret so they're new and special to the new members, but MP is kind of out there. This song means so much more to each member of the band, more than anyone could ever know thats not a member or alumni.
Some songs are so depressing I don't even dare to listen to them.
No surprises, Street spirit and MPH are one of them
This is the song I want performed at my funeral
What an amazing series! You really did great, I’m sure Schlatt would be proud. I can’t wait to see what you make next, Radiohead or not! (Though if I had to give my suggestion for the next series, I think The Bends would do great for this kinda format, there’s so much story behind it)
I very much appreciate it! I’ll keep the bends in mind for the future :)
i rewatch the tribute at least once a month and its probably the most moving thing ive ever seen
BEAUTIFUL SERIES!!!!!!! kid a my favorite album ever my beloved thankyou stemp
this was very entertaining to watch as a random viewer who just wanted to know more about the song. the cherry on top is disasterpeace as an outro!
They’re best song hands down
Real Radiohead fans know about the extra verse version WAY before OKNOTOK
Usually I can’t sit through a video explaining a song but I sat all the way through this….This is some really well made content man!, keep it up and you’ll go far 👍
your content is so incredibly underrated
Thank you for making this i can tell that you take a lot of care into your work.
You might also like to know that the organ from this song broke at the South Park 2001 concert. They aborted the song and never played it again to my knowledge I'm not sure why exactly.
Also, the suicide theory about the song or album may have come from (or at least been reinforced by) the 2006 film A Scanner Darkly where a character is laying in bed taking sleeping pills, drinking wine and trying to off himself to Kid A. Some Thom Yorke music was also used in the film.
Would you like to come on my Radiohead podcast and chat about this series of yours? It's called @okpodcast? Cheers!
You are extremely underrated
Nice job! Editing was great and enjoyed your analysis!
Much appreciated!
Love the series. Thank you
have just watched all of the videos of this series, an amazing series. loved it. i hope to see some more similar things by you (although ill watch more of this channel either way)
This was a wonderful video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good shit dude
Great stuff Stemp. Binging your videos at the moment, really enjoying the content. Keep up the Radiohead stuff, it'll be a while until you're out of ideas I'm sure :)
my favorite song ever
nice video
the oknotok casette version is much more emotional in my opinion
Great video!
Thank you!
Great series! Curious if you were thinking about doing something similar with Amnesiac as a follow up (naturally)
I’m gonna be doing some non Radiohead/music video essays to get some variety in my channel but I am planning on doing more videos/series similar to this format in the future!
i love this video
please do the rest of the albums!!
Picked a great time to stumble on this vid! The entirety of Amnesiac comes out tonight :)
@@Stemp woo! can't wait :)
Kid A kid a kid a
For me, Where I End And You Begin is the saddest radiohead song. I don't really understand the gloom index ratings, those top songs all have a slightly uplifting feel to the sadness, moments of emotional redemption. Where I end and you begin has absolutely no redeeming moments at all, for me its what pain sounds like. The only redeeming moment may be the very final note where theres a feeling of release from it all, but thats hardly an argument in favour of it havjng any uplifting moments within itself
Huh, I never saw that as a sad song. What's sad about it?
Yeh like the gloom index is based on only like maths and statistics and ignores the actual song itself or its subtext because 15 Step is the highest rated song by a mile but its about someone committing suicide because they cant find love "15 steps and then a sheer drop" and fitter happier is like the 8th highest so like yk
♡
This video needs more eyes
Please continue with HTTT
I’d love to do HTTT in the future!
this is the parting song to the soundtrack of 9/11. Thom Yorke is the dodo.
question, so the sound starting at the 1:40 minute mark on the track is that the fluttering harps you are referring to?
Yes!
