Speaking as a 65-year-old man, who has been listening to music since the mid-1960s, I still think that this is close to being the best single ever recorded. Perfection.

4:30 ...."You ARE special, ....you are NOT a weirdo!!" Honest reaction and so sweet :) ❤

Most relatable song ever. We've all felt this way at some point in our lives.❤

This is based on a true experience. While at university, Thom Yorke, lead singer was attracted to a beautiful girl there. He could only look on from a distance, as he didn't think himself worthy of approaching her. When he hits the high notes, you really see the pain etched on his face, and you so correctly guessed, the song is about self loathing and worthlessness. I love how you 'feel' and almost become a part of the songs/videos you watch 👍👏👏👏

Thom Yorke : "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdoo" Empress : ."You ARE special, ....you are NOT a weirdo!!"

This song is a masterpiece, hauntingly beautiful. Like all great artists he touches something deep within you. What you felt is what many feel when they first hear this song. For this reason it is treasured.

A favorite of mine. Wasn't sure how you were going to feel about it, but your reaction to it was awesome as always.

Radiohead is great. "Creep" is arguably their most famous song but they have such a wide range of song variety. Their sound has changed a lot over the years. They are an amazing band. Thom Yorke has even branched out as a producer and recently remixed an MF DOOM song. I strongly urge you to check out more Radiohead. Once again, you gave a heartfelt reaction. So much love to you, Empress. ❤

I know the song is based on the lead singer's experience with a crush he had in university but the song just describes the way I feel about every person I have ever tried to contact or befriend in my life so accurately, I was born with autism on the very high end of the spectrum which really takes a toll on my social skills and my outlook on things, making people alienated by me...to the point that nowadays I'm intimidated by trying to aquire friends because all I can see myself as is a freak that only makes people run from him and is not good enough to deserve friends and loved ones... While I am well aware of how stupid and tactless it is to vent this on a song reaction video, I just had to share my personal meaning of the song

Thom Yorke's voice is by far my favorite male voice out there 👌It's beautiful but cuts deep 😢

Another goosebumps every time song. This era was just the best. So glad I was in my prime and got to live it.

This song came out during my highschool years, and I had come from an abusive childhood riddled with bullies. This song spoke for me when I was unable to speak. Beautiful melancholy soul.

Great reaction, and you're right it was a very personal song to Thom, who wrote the song about not being good enough for a girl he really liked when he was in school, being so inadequate, someone who didn't even know he existed at the time, which I think is relatable to do many of us. Well I'd love to know where that girl is now and what she thinks about this, if she knows who she is!!! For a long time Thom and the band got so tired of being labelled as the band that did Creep that they refused to play it at their live events as they didn't want the song to define them, although I think in recent years (when events were possible) they have started playing it again which I think is a good thing as it's an amazing song and so anthemic!!! If doesn't define them, they have so many great songs and albums, but this has to be included in them.

the longing and suffering during that bridge is just.... heart breaking

One of the greatest love songs ever written, in my book.

'I felt the pain and resentment in his voice' so so spot on Joy-Jean. You are very perceptive.. Keep it up girl luv your assessments!

The girl so gets it! We're still listening to it today. Thank you, Empress, for such beautiful words of en-courage-ment and hope😇

I agree with a lot of the other commenters. You really are one the best reactors. You FEEL the songs and the lyrics. Very, very incisive and empathetic. It's always a pleasure watching you. And oh yeah, Radiohead is a great band. LOTS of great tunes. Thanks Empress!

One of my most favorite songs! I think everyone can relate to feeling like this at some point in their life.

Your reaction to this song is beautiful. You were careful to understand what the song is about and to sympathize with the vocalist. I love how you spoke encouraging words to him toward the end. One of my top two favorite reactions to this song. Thank you for sharing it. Keep being the understanding, positive and encouraging person that you are. Peace ✌️

He has an amazing voice, and thanks for the dedication. I appreciate it 😊

Ok. I cried. The combination of this songs, with it's meaning and your words made me emotional. Thank you

You are so open, vulnerable and transparent. I love you as a reactor, Empress. Shalom.

Sadly, this song is true. Sometimes, you can love someone who doesn't love you. This song is about someone who is living that and knows why that person doesn't love them and never will. I have been living with the truth of this song for almost 10 years. Trust me, sometimes the truth hurts. That's what this song is all about...

I love how you really get this song. :-) The story behind this song was that it's about a girl he saw at Uni whom he thought was absolutely stunning and wonderful, but he was too scared to talk to her, so he just followed her around for a while. One day, he got drunk and told her how he felt but accidentally scared her away by doing so. I love how much raw emotion he injects into his music, even if the style isn't to everyone's taste. That's why Thom Yorke shines - He's different and proud.

I’ve always loved this song and I love your emotional, insightful reaction. I have to give you a follow.

This is the first ever proper reaction video I’ve seen of creep… considering how it’s Radiohead’s biggest song im suprised there’s not more!

That’s the thing about Radiohead. You feel it. “Whatever makes you happy. Whatever you want...”

Another great reaction Empress! And your comments were very well said. There are so many people who feel they are undeserving.

I love your reactions. You are a good person with a good soul.

You can see the exact moment Jean fell in love with this track hehe. Your words after the song are lovely.

Another excellent reaction and those earrings and your expressions are always appreciated empress! Thank you for being you!

This has been, is, and will always be my #1 karaoke jam

I watch a lot of reaction videos. But you are my favorite. You always have the best reactions. You can tell you are a very passionate person.

I recommend listening to their song "How to disappear completely." It's very powerful.

It was wonderful watching you w Creep. Radiohead. I could see the emotions were in you. And could see it touched your soul!! Thanx for your kind words. That's how I feel about the song. Pain. Rejection. Sorrow.

It's a good song. I like the PMJ’s (Post Modern Jukebox), (feat. Haley Reinhart) cover. Please consider reacting to it.

Great reaction as always!! 👍 I think you'd love the song "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche... If you haven't heard it yet of course 😊

"you are special, you're not a weirdo" - you are so lovely

If you wanna hear the greatest cover of this song, search Prince's performance at the 2008 Coachella Music Festival, it's the only cover of their song that Radiohead put their stamp of approval on....Prince's solos are absolutely incredible....

1st part of song. -Start of depression episode . Insecurities , rejection , self-loathing / hate e.t.c 2nd part of song. -Mental / pyscotic breakdown / episode , self harm e.t.c 3rd part of song. -broken / defeated , hopelessness , in hosipital , jail or worse death ( suicide ). That's my quick brief interpretation of this classic anyway.

Empress, you give the best reactions! Your beautiful expressions, emotion and understanding of the songs is outstanding. I'd love you to react to Another Love by Tom Odell

I could listen to Thom Yorke sing all day. One of my favorite rock singers ever.

Radiohead is an adventure. World class musicians and uncompromising artistry with purpose. They don't make singles really but albums with concepts. Every song offers something unique so they are all great but I'm going to recommend "Radiohead - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi (From the Basement)". A wonderful song as is the rest of that live session.

He has one of the most AMAZING voices of all time.

YAAASSS! Empress does Radiohead. Ya beauty. Just what i need to waste some time at work.

This song is deep.....very deep....cool reaction girl...👍🏻👋🏻

Just watched your reaction Empress. Yes this is deep and fierce. You had a tear. Just let them flow. Radiohead is up there in the top 10 of rock bands. Their lyrics smash so many others.

One of the greatest love songs I have ever heard, love your reactions. Well done

I love how you connect and feel the songs of my youth. Happy and sad.

One of the best songs ever written.

You are a stunning beautiful lady and human being, and your empathy is amazing. You are exactly right....he is building up with depression and frustration about how he's letting himself even think he's good enough for this perfect girl who seems to not even acknowledge his existence, much less think of him as a creep, so he shows up where she's at, prepared to put himself out there and tell her how he feels, and becomes overwhelmed with fear and embarrassment ( "What the hell am I doing here?") and has to "RUN"!

Great reaction and fabulous words to your followers.

I liked very much your reaction and sincere analysis of the song

This is why you're an empress!!!! Great song great reaction. 😊

Your reaction is so amazing! I love this song. His emotions are so clear and you felt them!

Thank you for your always sensitive and heartfelt reaction 💕

I love this song, I love your words, you really understand this song 💚

My favorite part is when he wails “she’s running out the door “ Vocals are on point. Thank you for the reaction 🤙🏽

We must protect Empress at all costs, for she is an Earth Angel with a Rocken Roll heart... This was my husband's favorite song... It describes what he felt like. Then the scream where the old him was left on the floor an the new him emerged.... Beautiful ✌🏼💗😊🫂🎶

Love your empathy...you are it!

Love the inspirational bit at the end of the video and great reaction. Your a nice lady 🙂

Yo.. Radiohead is FULL of surprises. Definitely worthwhile to take a deep dive into them.

One can definitely see in your facial expression how emotionally moved you were during this song. Love your reaction, Empress.

Gorgeous voice. The dynamics were perfectly done, The soft falsetto / head tone in the high notes conveyed his sadness but then his full voice came out - it was a triple forte’ loud with a straight tone expressing his real grief and he wants to basically give up. When this song first came out, people thought it was EMOTIONAL DYNAMITE. and they were right. I felt his his pain, like being alone or losing someone I truly loved. I’m not a lyrical person. I’m trying. But it’s tough to hear it and that’s within every genre. The amount of instruments were perfect, giving the vocalist room to shine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the song and lyrics. You’ve got a great ear for music. To put positivity in such a self-deprecating song was unexpected and I really liked that. Thank You again

Love the genuine response.. it was very entertaining

Your soul is beautiful. Thank you.

I love this song. I notice you appreciated his voice. Another song where the singer has an outstanding voice is "I'm Gonna be Strong" by Gene Pitney. Get the studio version.

¡Creep' is so beautiful that even my piano cover sounds good! 😉 Congrats for bringing it!!! 👏👏👏👏

He was small and had a “lazy” eye that many find very unappealing. His music can be very pain and beautiful. Explore his music. His name is Thom Yorke and has a couple fine solo albums. The Erasure is my favorite. He wrote, played every instrument,and edited this album. Him and Bjork do electronic music well.

Radiohead… one of the best bands ever! I feel so privileged to have seen them live a couple of times

You really need to listen to Thom Yorke (lead signer of Radiohead) playing Bloom on the piano... its hauntingly beautiful!

..such real reactions and compassion, the world needs more people like you... you're so beautiful.

Can all of us just appreciate three things? First, Empress is closing in on 50K subscribers. That is just awesome. Second, this woman knows good music when she hears it, regardless of the genre. That is especially cool to me, as I too, have a wide taste in music. Third, she is sweet and soulful. Giving props out to anyone out there that is struggling, trying to find their way in this world. What a nice sentiment. Keep on giving us these great reactions Empress. Bonus - yeah, we all know she is beautiful as well. Does that really need to be said?

lol i love when she said "you ARE special!" made me chuckle

Great song and reaction. I think you would like Fake Plastic Trees. Another deep and beautiful song by them🙂

Awww,,,,,,what a lovely,gracious lady you are Empress Joy!

I Iove how genuine you are love you and your videos ❤️

Great reaction beauty, you are sweet and this music is powerfull

Great, great song! Your reaction and after talk were wonderful Empress. 😊🌹

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song.

Seeing people transport watching this song will never get old.

What's up Empress, this video was filmed in a Club that is now closed, called the Zodiac in Oxford. I live in Abingdon, where Radiohead formed, 7 miles from Oxford. This is such a great song, the quality set a tone for their career.

You are so very true... !!!Times goes by and somehow in a certain time of our lives se have the necessaty of explode and cry like him... Thanks for your amazing reaction . Sorry I only found you today.

You are awesome…the song is great, one of my top 10, up there with all along the watchtower, great gig in the sky, stairway to heaven and butterfields everything is going to be alright..

Please do Haley Rienhart's cover of Creep with Postmodern Jukebox. It is fire🔥💯

Love this song. Loved ur reaction to it. Many reactors really dont GEt this song but u nailed it completely. You should chk out another version on ur own sometime. Search Best Live performance of Creep by Radiohead. Ita a bit slower and he really holds the notes. U will love it even more.Thanks again for sharing with us.

Thank you for truly getting the song. This would have been my theme song during High School. That one girl.........even now I still think about. From her perspective I was a Creep. So painful

After this song ended you made some comments in reference to being good enough and deserving the good things in life. I think you are the angel

The first time I heard this on the radio on my way to work in the early 90s I knew it was so fn special.

Great reaction. Good first song pick for Radiohead. Not sure what the reason are some people gave a thumbs down but who needs them ;)

Baby doll.. I am so glad you get it.. Music tells a story to those that want to read it and feel it.

Love this song. Love your reaction. Love that you listened and understood it instead of stopping alot and asking stupid questions that the answers are there in the song if you listen.

LOL the "you ARE special you're not a weirdo!" sent me 🤣🤣

Aww.. you’re too sweet, saying he’s not a weirdo😁haha Much love to you💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Empress gets it. Nice reaction! (recommend checking out more Radiohead)

You are superb, and one of the few human beings who rapidly comprehended, and embraced this complex vibe....IMMEDIATELY. Subscribed, and look forward to more 😮

Wow I have to be honest, i love these reaction videos but ive never been more enamored with someones beauty like i was yours. Just wow

You lady , are so special , loved watching your expressions , so cute 🥰

But man that guy on the guitar was wicked. That sound and speed. He was wailing on that guitar.
