Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just 'cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there
Just 'cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren
Singing you to shipwreck
''(Don't reach out, don't reach out)
(Don't reach out, don't reach out)''
Steer away from these rocks
We'd be a walking disaster
''(Don't reach out, don't reach out)
(Don't reach out, don't reach out)''
Just 'cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there
''(There's someone on your shoulder)
(There's someone on your shoulder)''
Just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there
''(There's someone on your shoulder)
(There's someone on your shoulder)''
There there!
Why so green and lonely?
And lonely
And lonely
Heaven sent you to me
To me
To me
To me
We are accidents
Waiting waiting to happen
We are accidents
Waiting waiting to happen
It took a few years for Radiohead to click for me but once it did I found a deep appreciation for the art and creativity of the band. This particular song is what pushed me over the edge.
They got a great live-in-a-studio recording of an album(?).
These boys are quite talented.
One of Radiohead's best.
Spare me the worst!
from the forest creatures and their events/daily lives to the crows waking up at the end.
he couldn't just take the jacket! no! he had to take the shoes too.
One of Radiohead's best.
I'm not a big Radiohead fan at all but this is an 8 for me.
Thank you Bill!
Ah! Radiohead. Cue the comments:
1) Radiohead is perfect
2) They suck
3) Thom Yorke is without peer
4) I don't get them
5) They haven't been the same since their third album
6) They get better with age
7) What is this bloviated noise from people with no talent?
8) You suck!
9) No, YOU suck!
no I don't
Interesting to see how polarizing RH is …. I too can relate to both sides of the discussion. But here’s where I land: great musicianship (all of them), fantastic production / engineering, open gap below the high treble vocals strategically filled, great bass and drums, innovative guitar, and solos …. and MOOD. so, who else is doing this these days??
I've whined/grumbled a lot about Radiohead's significant presence on RP--mostly because of Thom's voice. But this is really cool. The video is like an animated Wes Anderson nightmare...
4+ years later, and not only do I like a lot of RH tunes now, I'm going +1 to 8 on this one.
I still like The Doors more than RH, just less more than before.
Long Live RP and changing tastes!
Another convert like me!

I'd add a great sense of melody and a high level of creative exploration
LLRP!
Radiohead is hit or miss for me. This tune is a hit!
Same Here!!
When I first heard Radiohead I was indifferent, now I've grown to abhor them. All because of the whiney little bitch lead vocals. Does anyone agree? Great music, lousy lead vocals.
Total opposite for me. I've gone from total indifference to buying their albums.
Lots agree with you, not me though. Love RH and couldn't imagine another singer than Yorke leading them
I'm with you. Saw them years ago...in a big marquee tent, and Thom was mesmerising. A genius at work.

Couldn't agree more. I bought Pablo Honey, obviously because of Creep, but since then...horrible crap.

I have to admit that this is the first Radiohead song that I have managed to listen to in its entirety. I realise that it is a vastly unpopular opinion, but I have just never been able to get past the vocals. The fact that I listened to this on headphones at work probably has everything to do with it. Great music, talented musicians, lyrically solid, just can't get behind the vocals. I 've resolved that it must be a personal problem on my end, seeing as how everyone else seems to be enthralled. Great drums, guitar on There There - so good in fact, that I barely noticed the vocals. I give it an eight, if nothing else, for getting me to reconsider my previous bias. And, to quote the late , great Mr. Zappa "The music was Thud-like." which to me , has always been a good thing.
Educating for me to hear someone taking the time to objectively reflect on what turns them "off" about a particular song and then going on to notice the elements that make it great. Thanks!
I also don't normally like RH - and this track is no exception! I will double my rating though (from a 1 to a 2) and maybe eventually I'll be like everyone else (7.6 overall?) and actually like this track. If I can only make it through the entire 5:16 to the end....which I did...and then I got my buddies The Doors (lol not The End) and "My Eyes Have Seen You." I'll take the Doors over RH EVERY day!

This sums up my feelings as well. Brilliant musicians, but Thom Yorke's vocals just aren't my cup of tea. This one was OK.
I have heard Better than Ezra though ;-)
Fucking genius - cant stop moving
I said something similar awhile ago, the music reminds me of Poets.
ummm, nope
I bet you send great text messages! Fuck all those Radio Head haters, I don't even get it... like how can you not be moved by the symphony even if it's not your jam?
20 year later and...
"The Hail to the Thief lyrics were influenced by what Yorke called "the general sense of ignorance and intolerance and panic and stupidity" ...
I loved Radiohead then and I love them now.
True in this time.
I do not like very much Radiohead, because I have the impression that (nearly) all they release is "same but different". After reading your comment, I checked the song and waited for the "explosion" of the song as you call it. I did not hear anything like "explosion", there was kind of interlude and then the song continued basically in the same way as before.
Could you please describe a little bit more specifically what makes you think that the song exploded. It might help me understand better how die-hard Radiohead fans think.
The drums get much more active and loud (guitars louder as well) around the three-minute mark and continue for the rest of the song. I wouldn't necessarily describe it as an "explosion", but it is not "the same" as the previous three minutes either.

Basically ALL of their songs are better live. They are magic.
Actually the sound quality is quite excellent.
terrible comment
"Go to Sleep" and "There There" are the two "surviving" songs from the album "Hail to the Thief" from the five songs previously selected by RP-Prodution since 2003. But something is missing here.
There is another essential song from this album that has been forgotten (say this way):
"Where I End And You Begin" (The Sky Is Falling In)
They can not all be here, right? Okay Chief. :))
The chastity-belt
ethical choices about content and lyrics of songs
In my personal point of view, in a first phase, this position of the RP functions as a kind of self-imposed "chastity-belt" right from the start, which is a mistake, having as main consequences, in the first phase, the exclusion of certain songs with greater relevance and depth of content, of the factual truth of subjects of emotional, social, sentimental and poetic character, where the artists express their feelings and states of spirit. In a second, more serious phase, it excludes altogether the artists themselves.
And I say it is a mistake, because absolutely no one in the U.S., and even much less outside the U.S. can blame them for exposing the truths and concepts inherent in the freedom exercise of the arts in general, or of music in particular.
This is not why they will lose support and admiration, on the contrary, they will be even more respected and admired. And some who, dangerously dare to do so, through ignorance, shamelessness or unconsciousness, do not know how to live in freedom and are hostages, admirers and homesick of "worlds" that history has already extinguished. And if it is because to not scare or shock children and youngsters, it is useless because the younger people of today know much more than a certain adult population.
"Where I End And You Begin"
There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, get to heaven!)
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't and I can't come down
I can watch and cant take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X'll mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea
I will eat you alive
There'll be no more lies
I will eat you alive
There'll be no more lies
I will eat you alive
There are no more lies
I will eat you alive

Well, you could be right. For me, this song truly starts about ~30secs before drums & guitars kick in. Too bad we have to listen to his usual whining just to witness the grand finale.

Everybody in my mushrooming multitude of elevators loves "There There" right here... we be dancing like happy hippies... this song is very groovy... love sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll...
Ditto my take on RH.
This is not only a thumper drone with cojones above their average, but it's pertinent and timely in its way.
when you see them live it's like you were hearing in black and white before, and then ou hear IT in full color.
absolutely
maybe 9?
Don't for get what the Door Mouse said "feed your (Radio)head".
We if you don't hear that, i think there is a problem we can't explain 😉
Agree... it obviously just went BOOM...

Too bad. One of ther best.
Welcome to the best radio station around. Sit and stay a while....
My sentiments exactly.
Fun little music video too... very Brothers Grimm.
