Creep is about Thom being obsessed with a beautiful woman at Exeter… he was too intimidated to talk to her and wrote Creep instead… she attended one of his concerts and he was mortified😉

At 46 this song still makes me cry sometimes. The 90's Rocked Low Self Esteem.

This is the quintessential anthem for anyone who feels like they don't "fit in." It's about that feeling of not being accepted for who you are. Not being comfortable in your own skin because of how the rest of the world thinks you should be...

Lex has such brilliant intuition and feeling when dissecting a song ,but you both have great chemistry .good job both of you, respect.

“I want you to notice, when I’m not around” That line always gets me. When you said he can sing, he really really can, and he can draw those emotions out of you. I hope you guys keep digging into their stuff bc it’s great. I’d recommend Fake Plastic Trees and The Bends to start off with.

That bass holds everything together. Radiohead is a very important band and very varied in their approach.

It kills me that they basically disowned this song. I mean whatever beautiful musical statements they've made since, and there have been many, this song is an absolute arrow to the heart of all of us who've had unrequieted love. Not many people get to express that feeling to the masses in such a beautiful way. It's an anthem to the estranged, whether you like it or not Thom. Thank your for it regardless.

Even people who don’t think they’ve heard this song before have still heard it and vaguely remembered it. What a legendary band.

"Creep" was their surprise hit when they were just starting out. They have some great songs on their next album, but I think the next Radiohead song you should play is "Paranoid Android", which shows the band really becoming the amazing weirdos they were meant to be.

"He sees that girl and she's like and angel." "but he feels unworthy of her beauty" . "so he feels like creep a weirdo a willow " etc etc.

The song is about his anxiety at being near someone beautiful. The calm section is his interaction with her. But the heavy rock guitar solo is the turmoil of his anxiety (Big up to Johnny Greenwood - Lead guitar).

"he wants a girlfriend" I fucking lost it lol

Be you, Brad. Ignore the critics. Overanalyze away...do your thing and we'll pop the popcorn

This song is literally just about feeling like a loser. It's really that simple.

Don't give up on lyrics Brad, you two are the perfect compliment between analyzing the song and feeling it (Brad and Lex respectively lol)

This song by Radiohead is popular so that's why you may have heard it. It's been in show and movies and plenty of people have covered it!

Love both of you for who you are!I hope neither of you “dial back” or change anything.Beautiful people!

Very fun post song discussion. The chemistry between the both of you was really on display. A real pleasure to see.

I am not a massive Radiohead fan, but this means so much to me; it was released just before I went to to university (college) and it totally expressed how I felt about that time.

I loved this song from the very first time I ever heard it ... and evidently lots of people felt the same way, since it became an anthem for an entire generation.

This song is the anthem for the outcast. It's the closest thing I've ever heard to putting what if feels like not to fit in into words. I WAS that kid. This song has always been special to me.

You should do The Offspring - self esteem, the kids aren’t all right, gone away, pretty fly.. to name a few! Love what you guys do!!!!

One of the most influential, undoubtedly powerful bands.

Radiohead are one of the best bands of our generation. PLEASE react to more of their stuff. So much amazing stuff to dive into. I'd suggest Fake Plastic Trees.

Brad, I like it when you hyper-analyze lyrics. That's what you are and nobody should tell you not to. It's not like it's a bad. I definitely analyze lyrics. I also headbang like Lex, and I love when she does that. The two things are not mutually exclusive, so I do both, but whatever each of you like to naturally do, do it. It's your channel, not ours. :)

It's a song about being in love and how this can actually be a painful anxious experience that preys on our neuroses and insecurities. She's so amazing and I don't measure up. She can't truly like me, because its just me. Everyone who see's us together can see how far beneath her I am - they must be laughing. Maybe I'll just sabotage it now to save myself the pain I'll feel later.

LOVE Radiohead...Tom Yorke's voice is unmatched and so original as well as Johnny Greenwood's guitar playing of course! thx for sharing Brad & Lex :)

I look forward to watching y’all’s reactions everyday! I appreciate it and I’m not even sure why but I do know that you two are an awesome team with great chemistry and great personalities. Thanks guys!

Would absolutely love to see you guys react to “people are strange” by The Doors

Every man needs a woman that looks at him the way lex looks at Brad, and he doesn't even notice haha. 💞🤘

This song has been on like so many movies, some commercials i think, amvs, a few games, just all around.

Never ever would I have thought I would find myself addicted to a reaction channel, but I can't get enough of y'all checking out the music from my youth. Ya'll may be my favorite people on KZfaq, for real. THanks for what you do.

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2019. An amazing band! I have been a fan from the start. The best catalog of music to react to. My favorite albums are in Rainbows, Ok Computer , and Moon Shaped Pool.

Johnny Greenwood is my favorite guitarist of all time….even in the later stuff where his guitar is on the floor and he’s playing with wires….absolutely visionary IMO. And Thom York packs a terrifying amount of emotion into his voice. Check out Knives Out for a more “robust” vibe.

“What the hell am I doing here? I don’t belong here” These 2 lines always pretty much summed up my entire life 😂 could not love this song more. Classic. Part of the soundtrack of my generation, and my youth…and sometimes my adulthood 🤣

Radiohead is the greatest band ever. This song was just the beginning of their career. It gets a lot better.

I went out and bought this cd after I heard this song on the radio, an amazing album, one of my favorites. I hope you do more, they have so much music.

Radiohead is one of the goats.. best in their class just like Floyd or Tool.

My fav band for sure glad to see you guys do a song by them keep them coming! The lead singer Thom Yorke was asked what his fav song of the band was he responded immediately saying "how to disappear completely"

It's fun watching the two of you blossom into rocksters! Feeling the different vibes.. So many miss out from not having an open mind

the way she says, "it's so chill" is the charmingest shit EVER

These guys are in my top 5 for sure. Each album had its own identity. Their song writing changed as they got older and like a fine wine got better with age.

Good reaction guys. Love how you looked at it from other possible angles...music's never about just one thing, and neither are the characters in songs. You hit it.

For what it's worth I enjoy you Brad being super analytical while Lex floats on the vibes. You two complement each other very well and is one of the reasons I've subscribed. Keep it up! 🙂👍

You two compliment each other. Great reaction team!!

i like how brad keeps track of the meaning while lex keeps track of the feeling. dont dial it back

Music is emotional...you nailed it! I love your guys reactions, music has to move me, no matter what emotion it creates. It has to move me.

Every season of every American Idol or the Voice, some competitor sings this song. That's probably how you know this song.

The mainstream popularity of this particular track has and always will overshadow the actual legacy and evolution as influential musicians of the 00's

Every single album Radiohead has ever released is entirely different than the last. They’re one of the greatest bands to ever exist and each member, individually, are one of the best musicians to ever walk the Earth. I listen to their album ‘In Rainbows’ and ‘OK Computer’ from start to finish at least once every week.

Welcome to the very start of the extensive Radiohead catalog! These guys are genius and there is so much to explore! Enjoy the complex, layered instrumentations! Check out Airbag, Paranoid Android, Lucky, Just, No Surprises, 2+2=5, Bodysnatchers, the list goes on! (obviously, I'm a big fan, and love you guys as well!)

Lex dropping her crazy wisdom is a joy to experience. I love you guys!

I personally like how Brad looks for the meaning of the songs and what it's about and how Lex is more about the way it sounds and makes her feel

Anyone could have heard this song before, and wouldn't have known there was an original. It's been covered by just about every pop artist out there. If you ever watch America's got talent. The singers there will also do this song a lot. It's a classic I guess you could say. That resonates with a lot of people.

Great break down of the meaning of the song Lex. This song does speak strongly to so many who aren't "perfect."

One of the few times I would recommend the live video over the album. It's AMAZING!

Radiohead is one of the great bands, but they're catalogue is all over the place if you didn't evolve with them over the years. You'll definitely like a lot of their early work, and their 3rd album OK Computer is truly one of the best of all time. One of my personal favs is "Let Down", so check that out.

If you like Radiohead I would recommend Muse as well. Matt Bellamy the lead singer has a lot of qualities similar to Thom Yorke.

You two are about to hit 100k subs!!! so happy for you guys!

This song connects so much, I can feel his pain in the song, knowing how that feels to not be special, to not belong. To not feel good enough for the person you want so much to see you.

this song is about how about at least 50% of the male population feels on any given day.

The song is timeless. It’ll never age.

Lex, you always seem to nail these interpretations pretty well.

Damn I been bingeing y'all's videos for almost 2 days and they just keep coming! Not complaining, but how many videos y'all make rrveryday? Good on you two! I'm loving the content and the varied genres, most I really love

YOU HAVE TO HEAR the cover of this by HALEY RHINEHART and Post Modern Jukebox. It is incredible.

This was off their first album - they’ve got another 8 or so after that (and each album is a departure from the last). I recommend listening to in rainbows - it’s my favourite album of theirs and the “from the basement” sessions are fantastic. You two should react to weird fishes/arpeggi live from the basement.

Creep takes me back to 1993 when I went to live in Austin for the summer. I met so many people and had a great time.

i always watch your reactions when i’m at work, best reaction channel for me tbh

This song has been covered by many artists. Prince did a fine rendition.

You have to react Paranoid Android by Radiohead There's an unbelievable live performance on the Jools Holland show

The second verse about having control, a perfect body, etc.. It’s about him judging himself harshly, so he thinks the world does too.. So he stays home, alone, in control..

This is one of the greatest 90s bands!!! The more you do by this band, the more you will be amazed! Karma Police is my recommendation

Great breakdown Lex! You have a super open mind to all kinds of music and I can’t wait to see where you guys take your channel! I’d love to see you both tackle some old school country (Alan Jackson, George Strait, etc)

Love the in depth discussion. Also, this is Radiohead's most famous songs but most fans of the bands have a lot of other preferred ones. They've made tons of great songs over the years.

One of my favorite songs from the 90s.

When it comes to music, I'm like Lex. But, when it comes to everything else, I am like Brad. I appreciate you both for who you are, not who others want you to be.

My son and his friends loved to play this on Rock Band, (or one of those type games). They had two singers and they’d really get into it 🤣🤣 I miss those days when they were young.

Im loving you two 👏 glad i stumbled upon your channel. 👊😉

I spent an entire summer blaring this from my car radio on constant repeat as loud as I could.

You have to hear Post Modern Jukebox's cover. The vocals are out of this world!

You guys should do the version of this song by Post Modern Jukebox featuring Hailey Reinhart. Her voice is amazing. Post Modern Jukebox, if you don't know about them, takes songs and does them in different styles of music like jazz, big band, country, etc. Pretty entertaining!

Everyone of your videos I watch I just realize how much Lex can read these songs. Great job Lex!

Awesome song...powerful emotional chords and superb voice.

Lyrics are oozing with sarcasm,desperation and rejection about a woman who he-and she herself-thinks-he can never measure up to her level.

There are alot of covers of Creep, but no one beats Radiohead

This has been my theme song since the 90s. Lex is right. To connect with ppl being a "creep" is friggin hard.

Jonny Greenwood is a force of nature on guitar. Here, he was at least a decade ahead of where everyone was going with that aggressive fast strumming.

Hailey Reinheart did a great cover of this song as well.

This cover of "Creep" is great: Creep - Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Radiohead Cover ft. Haley Reinhart. You might want to check it out.

This song has been in several movies. One of the greatest songs ever. Macy Grey did a cover version and it was pretty good

Dude. She got you! You ain't dumb and SHE is a KEEPER. God be with.

I think it sounds like a young man that likes a certain girl, but he has self esteem issues. He is fantasizing about being, in his eyes, more perfect so he doesn't get rejected by this girl he likes. I don't think it's all that complicated. He's going through typical teenage angst.

When I was in high school, I was kinda like the "creep". So I could highly relate. I don't have a perfect body, I'm thin, short, and nerdy. I didn't and couldn't wear fashionable clothes, and I was very socially awkward. There were a few girls back then I was enamored with. They all seemed out of my league, and they typically dated the guys playing sports, were handsome, pretty much the opposite of what I was. So like the song, you kind of work yourself into a fantasy in your head, but you know it won't play out like you hope it would. So it was a issue with wanting to be with someone you probably don't have a chance with, and how it just rots you to your core. I didn't have a very high self-esteem as well, so asking someone out was really, really tough. I guess it is like pulling out a Jenga block from the very bottom of the stack with very shaky hands level of self-risk. So it all becomes a self-eating cycle of want, self-denial, self-loathing, desire, loneliness, and depression that makes you miserable. Even the act of asking or testing the waters to see if there was a mutual interest took more out of me than I deemed worth the risk. It is just a miserable, and self-destructive place to be because you are not only denying yourself the chance, even if it is slim, but you are denying happiness, peace of mind, and you're not building mental and emotional strength. Confidence was key, but I had nothing to be confident about. Being a teenager was all kinds of hell for me. I graduated high school, got older, hopefully matured, and pretty much threw off that phase of my life off my shoulders. So by and large, I'm over it, but every now and then I think back to that time, and this song in particular reminds me. It doesn't remind me of the girls in particular, it's been a while so I forgot their names, but it reminds me of what I missed by not shooting my shot, by obsessing, and wasting all that time being miserable by my own making.

I saw them open for REM in Dallas back in the day. That was an amazing show.

I’m here for the reactions second, 1st for the amazing bond you two have. You are the perfect couple we all strive to be. I’m so happy and ridiculously jealous of what you have. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤❤❤

The Postmodern Jukebox version of this is quite different and would love to see your reaction.

I have to get ready to go out, but I HAD to wait and see Lex's face when the chunky guitar kicked in. 🤣😂 BRAD, just be you, man. If you wanna analyze the shit out the songs, that's how you enjoy them.

This song makes it into a lot of soundtracks. A really good one is Josh Duhamel singing it to a baby while Katherine Hegel looks shocked, in the movie "Life As We Know It." Other great tracks are Eddie Vedder's Just Breathe and L. Cohen's Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodby. Also, once you get past the first five minutes, it's a really funny movie about a man, a woman, and an orphan.

I am 63 now and my son asked if I would take him to Oxford to see them live - well I have been hooked ever since
