Ah this song has some of my favorite Thom Yorke lyrics... "Aaaaaaahhheeeoooommmmnnnnnnaaldhhhhaaaaaaa..." "I szegoszahhhhaaaa" "Nnnnanaaanmmmoooohhhh"

This is so beautiful. This sounds silly but Kid A came out not too long before 9/11 and at the time I was a freshman at NYU in downtown Manhattan, and also a huge Radiohead fan since probably 8th grade or something - and for some reason this has always been _that_ one song that most immediately reminds me of it, like those first few days immediately after the attack from the Wednesday through that weekend. The whole island was entirely sealed off from the outside world, my dorm was within the "second" exclusion zone (below 14th) where the only traffic was the military/police and first responders, so you could hang out in the intersections and not worry about getting run over - except on every other corner there was a soldier or MP with a gun and a dog like we were an occupied country or something. It was unreal. I remember very vividly walking down the middle of Broadway playing this song on repeat on my Discman and this soldier just staring at me lol. I also remember sitting in the McDonald's on 8th and Broadway at lunchtime a day or two later...and the place was packed just like always - but it was completely and totally silent. All I could hear was the piped-in muzak and the sound of people chewing. It felt like church or something, literally nobody said a word...and you could still smell that awful burning plastic smell in the air even when you were indoors. It was this surreal atmosphere where you had people wandering around trying to go about their normal day and trying really hard to pretend like everything was still basically normal and basically okay even though everyone knew that it wasn't...there was this horrible sense of everything just being _off_ and like nothing was "in its right place" at all. I didn't even really get the worst of it compared to the people who'd already been living there for years by that point because I'd only moved to the city a week or so beforehand...in fact I'd actually visited the observation deck up at the top of WTC1 that previous Labor Day weekend. So it wasn't as intimately familiar to me yet as it gets to be once you've lived there for awhile. (To clarify, I didn't have time to see the North Tower collapse - by the time WTC1 came down everybody around me had basically scattered and run even though we were clearly far enough away - maybe 20-25 blocks or so - that the debris wasn't going to fall _on_ us, but it actually felt like it might, or could...nobody was thinking rationally at that point.) The skyline in Manhattan is like its natural topography, so for the buildings to just instantly be gone like that, it was as if a mountain or something had suddenly just up and vanished into thin air right in front of you. There was this fundamental spatial "wrongness" like the whole city was inhabiting some Lovecraftian non-Euclidian space that just felt inherently revolting and horrifying on like a visceral level. Anyway, sorry for the huge tl;dr...this song always had that same sort of sad, sinister feel to it and this instrumental is such a heartbreakingly apt rendition. Thank you for the music.

There are two colors in this pianist's head.

I love how the piano can make any song sound so emotional and dramatic yet elegant.

“Yorke bought a house in Cornwall and spent his time walking the cliffs and drawing, restricting his musical activity to playing his new grand piano.[3] "Everything in Its Right Place" was the first song he wrote,[3] followed by "Pyramid Song".[4] Yorke described himself as a "shit piano player", and took inspiration from a quote by Tom Waits saying that ignorance of instruments gives him inspiration. Yorke said: "That's one of the reasons I wanted to get into computers and synths, because I didn't understand how the fuck they worked. I had no idea what ADSR meant.”

How this shit come out 17 years ago and still sound futuristic

🎹 *Every note in its right place* 😉 🎹 👏

I used to think Kid A was 10 years ahead of its time. Now I think it's 17 years and the clock is still running. Great cover!

Anybody else here because they heard this in The Unforgivable and had to listen to it? Very impactful playing, great job

Genius chord progressions in this song!

So this tune has some unusual time signatures throughout the piece. Can anyone pick up on a slight variation I've made to some of the time signatures in this arrangement compared to the original?

Who is here after the “Unforgivable” Sandra Bullock? I had a headache after watching this movie, so overwhelmed with emotions. It was through the roof!!!! Awesome movie!

The whole album Radiohead for Solo Piano is a masterpiece. Glad I’ve found it on Spotify. Absolutely beautiful.

This makes me want to learn the piano, absolutely outstanding!

As someone who drifted away from piano and has lost everything but "the ear". Watching you play is very inspiring. Thank you.

This is so peaceful to watch with the piano open and just seeing your hands.

So haunting....all the flats in the piece make it sound extra moody...can't get enough of this piece ..having a hard time learning it but will get there..🎹🎶

The chord progressions in this song is pure genius. It has a hypnotic effect. I feel myself going into a trance listening to it.

Amazingly beautiful! Unforgetable movie brought me here. This was a lost song on my mind. Will take the dust of my piano out!

It's almost as if you didn't want to stop playing, to let go of that rhythm, to end the tune. It is a beautiful take of a great song. Well done!

I listen to your arrangements while I fall asleep so I can have a Nice Dream

Out of all the piano covers of this song, this one is the greatest.

This is a thing of beauty. I am a adult beginner piano student and this is the piece that made me take up the piano!

Westworld season 3 needs to open with this song.

This arrangement is insane dude, you could make me fucking cry with those hands on those keys (holy shit). Keep it up!

your piano sounds absolutely incredible

I could listen to this all day long. After watching Unforgivable I had to research where this song originated from. Such a powerful song played on the piano. This song and Moonlight Sonata are probably my favorite ever played on a piano.

"The Unforgivable", starring Sandra Bullock, brought me here. This sounds great! What surprised me is that this masterpiece exists since 22 years! Good things never die! ♥️

I love complex time signatures...most all genres. From one musician to another, this is by far the best cover of any Radiohead song I've ever seen. Please do Pyramid Song! I read other comments asking for it too, lol! I did my own version a few years ago, but it's one of only a few songs I would touch by them personally; I don't have much equipment haha (I should put it on KZfaq though, for the heck of it). Excited to hear/see more from you! Cheers!

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard! It is just amazing how well the song lends itself to the piano.

You grasped the essence of music, the purely beautiful feeling

Perfect for “The Unforgivable.” Absolutely Beautifully Heartfelt👌❤️

Yes! One of my most liked songs from my favorite band, Keep making Radiohead piano covers!

You are awesome, Josh. This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. Thank you! You are extremely talented, keep up the good work, buddy!

This song always reminds me of the beginning of Vanilla Sky. I remember back in the day I had a CD player in my bedroom and I set it as my alarm to wake me up just like the start of the movie

This is probably the best performance on KZfaq right now. The addition halfway through of your own rendition is phenomenal. You didn't over saturate it. Just the right amount. Well done.

Just beautiful 😀 Found it in the Sandra Bullock UNFORGIVABLE movie! Just Beautiful!!

Your Radiohead covers are awesome, it's my new favorite thing to listen to for ambient music while I'm working :)

2021 and you still put me in the right place,Josh.

One of my favorite chord progressions of all time… and top 5 Radiohead songs ever

Beautiful. Your Radiohead covers have helped me through countless hours of study.

Josh, I just stumbled onto this video. You have a new subscriber now. Wow! There’s something about these chord changes and progressions that gives this song it’s unique aura. But the way you play it, it takes it to a whole new level. Well done sir!

To Josh Cohen, Every time I hear this song it sends shivers down my whole body and this time too. Oh! It's beautiful. Muchas Gracias!

Simply spellbinding. In every way and a true inspiration to all filmmakers. Bravo.

Your Radiohead arrangements are really fantastic. Very nice work.

As soon as you started playing I went from a happy mood to instantly crying. Thanks for the most violent mood swing in my life, lol. (It was actually wonderful, you're an amazing pianist and you inspire me in many ways).

This is breathtaking, thanks Josh.

absolute perfection. Radiohead depicts the solemn beauty of sadness, despair, emotions. You have capture that beauty.

I was far from this level of piano, and you helped me a lot! I can now play the first two minutes after only 4 evenings of training.

I started floating

I can't get over this video! It's so good - I love the rhythm.

Brilliant!! Thom and Radiohead would be so proud of you..God Bless your piano

I love this with all my heart

Goosebumps

a haunting piece perfect for a movie with a sad ending

Soothing.

That really moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your talent

This in the UNFORGIVABLE Movie 🔥

Amazing song, amazing player. Beautiful

The Unforgivable! ❤

You make this the only other version of Radioheads music I will listen to and able to get into and throughly enjoy

Purely amazing...

Such an awesome cover... So relaxing. Thank you!

I need that sheet music. Now. This one. Exactly. Beautiful work !

This is hands down the most accurate piano cover of this song

Wow. I understand it has been nearly four years since this Radiohead piano series came out, but I have to admit they are timeless masterpiece(s). I stumbled across this channel by finding Paranoid Android in my recommendations last December, and I continued to fall down this rabbit hole. I have to admit, most people don't do the best at covering Radiohead, but this is amazing. I can tell what song it is without looking at the title, and it is easy to sing along to. You sound so professional with non-Radiohead songs too. This channel is underrated and I wish you the best. Edit: My birthday card from my best friend says " I really have nothing else to say so if it makes this card more interesting pretend it is playing Radiohead"

Absolute magic to listen to♡

One of the best out there, especially one that has sheet music. 2:22 things get more interesting on your version vs other folks. That octave play is nice! Good work!

Beautifully played. Also, played on a very beautiful piano... I've just discovered more of your wonderful music on yt music, and I'm very much enjoying it. Thank you ❤

Sounds eerily similar to Pyramid Song on piano

Not going to lie I am here because of The Unforgiveable but this is unforgettable :)

Wow, wow, wow

The melody I will be humming forever - great arrangement, and will look out for that songbook.

right in its place!

you've gained a subscriber I've been listening to this cover all day

Stripped down in this form you can see just what a beautiful, and complex composition this is 🤔 typical Radiohead, way ahead of its time…..great version, thanks for the post 👍

Thank you so much Josh, beautiful

Σάκη σε ευχαριστώ που μου έμαθες το κομμάτι. UH❤για πάντα

The only thing that was unforgivable of the movie was this song ☺️

Wow, this just does not compare to any other versions out there! Thank you so much for your lovely playing. I would totally pay for sheet music for this, as I tend to learn things more permanently from sheets than video tutorials, even though that's where I started learning myself. Please let me know if you ever transcribe, I wouldn't mind seeing it all written out!

OMG.....these covers, all of them are just amazing. And the piano you're playing on has such a rich sound to it. I am SO jealous!! Super looking forward to the songbook. I like pretty much all of the songs you are covering. It's so lovely to hear these covers, and they're so wonderfully played. You are awesome sir.

Captivating beauty!

Those dynamics tho...

so good.

Resonates in the chest or torso and feels comforting in its dark notes reverberating

Loved this when it came out but its use in Vanilla Sky....sublime and chilling at the same time.

Someone from *The unforgivable* the movie !

exquisite

every time i see this video in my suggestions, i'm always drawn to watch it again. gorgeous arrangement

stunningly beautiful

I'm learning piano so I can play Radiohead songs. I can't wait until I can play this.

⚜🔱💜🙏💜🔱⚜ - The Unforgivable -

Y'all need to buy Josh's book of Radiohead transcriptions. Painstaking, accurate, and, if you can work hard, eminently playable and enjoyable.

Just brilliant! Thank you

The Unforgivable anyone????

magia

what an unbelievably beautiful rendition of an already amazing song... thank you!

The most gorgeous thing that exists in music.
