    Don't bore us
    Get to the chorus
    And open your floodgates
    Just the good bits
    Without your bullshit
    And no heartaches
    Someone lead us
    Out the darkness
    Out the darkness
    No pain and
    No struggling
    And no one gets hurt
    We absolve you
    We absorb you
    Throw that rubbish away
    Someone lead us
    Out the darkness
    Out the darkness
    Someone lead us
    Out the darkness
    Out the darkness

    @triplem1567 Před 2 lety +48

    It took me this live performance to fully appreciate this song. I think it’s way better than the album version. The rhythm is much more audible and adds an electronic vibe that I missed on the album. Also, Jonny’s delay effect fits the song perfectly.

    That's just great! This live version is probably even better than the studio one (which is still amazingly beautiful). After watching the show at Magazine this was the one that left the biggest impression on me. So thank you so much for sharing it!

    • @twochordcool

      I was thinking the exact opposite - how they couldn't quite capture what they did in the studio with this, live.

    • @zynel413
      @zynel413 Před 5 měsíci

      ​@@twochordcoolit's a different, more minimalist take which I really appreciate. The studio is more grand and spacious with the string arrangements but this live version really shows how beautiful this song still is with all that stripped back

  • @Barcles_G
    @Barcles_G Před 2 lety +37

    I think this was from Magazine Show #2 on 30th Jan which started at 1am. It was absolutely magical to be there. This track in particular made it feel like cold and beautiful light was falling all around in the round. Afterwards, I got home at 4am, slept 5 hours, and then went back for the 11am Magazine show for more of the same. Sometimes with certain bands and artists all other considerations just go out the window.
    During lockdown, I wondered whether I would ever see live music again. Post-lockdown, I wondered if i'd ever see Radiohead again. I'm still wondering that now. But even if Radiohead never play live again, we will always have these Magazine shows, and now we have ALFAA too- which is about as perfect a record as i've ever heard in my life. I genuinely believe that Radiohead will still be one of the bands that people of the future will be listening to in 300 years time.
    No time spent listening to Radiohead is ever time wasted. 'How to Disappear Completely' is the greatest piece of music i've ever heard in my life. It's so good that I don't think even Radiohead will top it. If you don't believe me, watch this Canal + performance from 2001 >> czcams.com/video/zw1kDxjDSxk/video.html /
    I don't know if we'll ever get another Radiohead album, but if we don’t- I’m ok with that. We still get to play the ones they’ve left us over and over.
    What a band.
