That water dripping is sound engineering perfection. It's one of the most memorable production bits I've ever heard in all my years, it's under my skin and brings me back to this masterpiece time and time again

I can't believe how much Thom has grown over the years... If you watch the documentary Radiohead made about life on tour in 1998 called Meeting People Is Hard, you can see how much Radiohead, (Thom especially), were completely drained from being in the spotlight and how absolutely miserable he was. This video as well as the other stuff from King of limbs shows Thom completely free to express himself artistically without the fear of rejection or disapproval. I don't know what happened in Thom's life between these two periods of time but whatever it was caused him to be much more at peace with himself and his life ... What a lucky guy.

This dance... It’s like a weapon

I love Thom Yorke's unapologetic weirdness.

Imagine showing this to thom after one of their Pablo honey shows in 1993

Looks like the whole dance was professionally choreographed up untill 4:05 when Thom probably was like "I wanna choreograph this bit"

What an honor it would be to do a Thom Yorke dance with Thom Yorke.

Fukiko Takase's dancing is just extraordinary. Her movements are stunning, full of seeming perfection in expression, so well defined and choreographed for the song.

This song introduced me to Radiohead, weird aint it? I actually was skipping channels on the T.V and then i suddenly stumbled onto this song, cant say how much that day changed my life.

It has been years and I still can’t get over this song

Thom Yorke is the mad scientist of music. He is the definition of genius.

I wouldn't be living the same life without your music.

thom yorke is the most important musician of the 21 century

You know like the back of your hand Who let 'em in? You got me into this mess You get me out You know like the back of your hand Your bell jar Your collection Ingenue You got me into this mess Fools rushing in, yeah And they know it The seeds of the dandelion you blow away In good time, I hope I pray If I'm not there now, physically I'm always before you, come what may And you know it Fools rushing in, yeah Well you know it Who let them in? Yeah well you know it Gone with a touch of your Gone with a touch of your hand Move through the moment Though it betrays transformations Jackals and flames If I knew now what I knew then Just give me more time I hope and pray I mistake all you say The seeds of the dandelion you blow away

This song occupies a very specific corner of my heart. It perfectly encapsulates a very specific time in my life, a very sad memory. The lyrics about people (particularly an Ingenue -- a young and naive woman) getting you into messes and leaving you there, fools rushing into situations, and all the while knowing the danger but being pulled by forces too big for them, being part of someone's collection.. It really really resonates with me. This song is so beautiful but is also sometimes hard to listen to. But there is something cathartic in the tears that come. It all happened near the end of grad school for me. I achieved what I set out to, but it cost so much.

Came here because, after Lotus Flower, I needed more Thom Yorke dancing in my life.

Her hand, when she cradles his head, is really beautiful.

I really start to like Thom Yorke's dancing, mainly because I've never seen anything like it. And there are some cool moves. And he seems to have alot of fun doing it.

I think Thom Yorke is the most awesome person on this planet right now.

The shot at 3:20 looks amazing. I almost made it my desktop background

1:30 That move by Fukiko is genius, and then Thom's attempt at an imitation pissingly comical.

10 seconds into the song and that bass is already making me cry.

I'd die forever just for Thom Yorke to live for an extra minute on this planet.

How on earth does Yorke create such amazing music. I’m always pleased by every project he has contributed to.. The Smoke.. if you haven’t heard it .. badass

The woman got to touch Thom Yorke's hair. The woman got to touch Thom Yorke's hair. The woman got to touch Thom Yorke's hair.

Thom was on it with the funky emotional dance performance before Sia tackled similar themes

pewdiepie brought himself here

I never thought I'd have a favorite song, there always seemed more I was finding also just wonderful. Without the video this would be just another wonderful excellent song. But I've never seen such a complete piece before, such moving beauty in both music and film; such intent, so meaningful, pulled off with such exquisite talent. I am grateful to be able to appreciate it. Today, right now at this moment, I think I do have a 'favorite'.

Every time I want to listen to this song I end up watching the whole video because their dancing is so hypnotizing.

he's too good for this world

This is one of those songs that give such a unique feeling that only this song manages to convey that I absolutely adore. the bass is insane, makes sense Flea is responsible for it. it gives me such a good tingle whenever i listen to it. the octave jumps are the most standout portions of it. the percussion is incredibly groovy, and moves excellently with the feeling throughout. the water dripping in the back adds to this groove and makes it even more ethereal. Thom's voice as well. Oh my god. Without it this song would be just a really good, idm-esque song. His vocal performance with the lines he delivers are hauntingly beautiful. In contrast to the harsher tones of the bass and drum kit, it really ties a beautiful bow on top of this amazing piece of work. on one hand, this song is so uniquely incredible that it feels like it deserves to be This Song Only, Ingenue. but on the other hand, I would die for more music exactly like this

Anything thom yorke done does is absolutely mind blowing.

Thom Yorke is a freaking genius

Thom's voice is extremely beautiful here

How is thom so effing brilliant?? His music comes from an incredible mysterious place. Like it exists outside of him and us but he just channels it through. I dont know how to explain... but he's more than just a special person. Im so glad im alive in his era because the music he brings to us is... delicious *chef finger kiss* muah! Exclelente

The instrumentation on this song is so perfect. Still can’t get over that synth.

The way they move in this video is so cool. It's uninhibited movement, and yes, it does look strange but I feel that's part of the appeal. The female dancer really flows across the screen and it's mesmerizing. It came across to me at first as uncoordinated and awkward but even then there was something about it that captivated me, and the more I come back to this video the more I'm able to appreciate that something.

I always wonder what the actors in music videos react like when they're told "so yeah basically, we're gonna do all this weird shit"

This song is healing me in a level I couldn't expect.

Thom Yorke makes me feel deeply comfortable with every weird part of myself

Thom yorke.... Love him or loath him He is a genius and no one can argue with that, no doubt about it

I love this song so much, I've watched this video probably 20 times. Thom is so precious, a genius.

4:05 LOTUS FLOWER INTENSIFIES

This song hits home I've always had but for a long time I wasn't aware of it and God I am so grateful for this track. It's like the sounds I've heard in mind in my early childhood and finally someone had enough empathy to show them in a song. It seem to me like I would know it since my previous life, even tho didn't even knew what Radiohead was two years ago.

thom yorke is one of the contemporary musicians with the most elegant and innovative sense of esthetic of the music

Don't ask me why, when I saw this video i almost wanted to cry... theres something so touching about the sound and the movements of those body, the colors, the studio... it was like sadness and happiness, like if i had lost something forever but still was happy that it happened.

I was extremely impressed with the song and the video but I couldn't get what it was about. I tried to examine it, and here is what I've got. According to my analysis, I may assume that this song depicts the endless process of recreation of the Universe. The word “Ingenue” is translated from Latin as “genuine”. That’s why I think it has nothing to do with a girl or any romantic relationships. As a matter of fact, it might be even a game of syllables “In-ge-nue” - “Ge-nu-ine”. Thus, the author may refer to God, Nature or the Universe. It seems that the lines “You know like the back of your hand your bell jar, your collection” are appealing to the fact that people are like seeds of the dandelion kept in a God’s jar as a collection. Whilst the lines “The seeds of the dandelion you blow away” accentuate that “God” is constantly playing with his creatures. He blows away the seeds, lets them grow into flowers and picks their seeds up into his jar all over again. These lines represent the endless circle of life and death, a constant reproduction. The lines “You got me into this mess, so you get me out” and “Fools rushing in” emphasize the author’s irritation towards the whole process. While other “seeds” want to get into God’s collection, the author wants to get out. He wants to break free from this infinite life circle. The last lines “Gone with a touch of your hand. Move through the moment though it betrays. Transformations. Jackals and flames” may be depicting the process of dying, when a body overcomes certain metamorphoses and where the concept of time and space is being distorted. It may seem rather ironical that in the last moment the narrator feels unready to die and asks God to give him some more time: “Just give me more time. I hope and pray. I mistake all you say”. While dying the author is figuratively divided into two states - “before death” and “after life”. That might be the reason why he uses such an irrational expression “If I knew now what I knew then”. If you watch the clip more carefully, you may notice that this process is being visualized quite prominently. It shows not only a life circle but also the duality of the world represented by the union of opposites - a man and a woman, metaphorical Yin-Yang. Nevertheless, the end of the clip shows that everything comes to its starting point and the process will be inevitably repeated.

I always come back to this song because I love it. I have listened to many artists in all these years but none surpasses the talented Thom Yorke 💜

This is what a C. G. Jung´s fan would think of this song: it refers to a dialogue between a man and his (what Jung called) "Anima", which is the personification of a man´s soul and assumes the image of a young, naive, ethereal and beautiful woman (such as the muses, the virgins, the houris, the fearies, etc. present in all cultures). This same image is “projected” by the man in every woman he loves along his life, and this way his Love reveals to him his real path, guiding him towards his fate.

It doesn't bother me that people are watching this because of this Dan guy. Obviously Dan has an interest in Atoms for Peace if he took the time to learn this song. As long as people are listening to this and enjoying it, it doesn't matter. The thing that bothers me is that people are arguing over how this is discovered. It's a great song! Who cares?

1:01 When you see your teacher in public.

I cannot overstate how much I love Thom Yorke

This is the best music/video-combo ever made. Like seriously. Just look at how they move the same, not like does the same moves, but really truly moves the same. Incredibly touching.

Good lord why so much hate? For those who don't know: Dan Howell is a youtuber who sometimes plays piano in his spare time. In one of joe videos he played the beginning of Thom Yorke's version of Ingenue. Because Dan has a young audience, many people were interested in the music he was playing and decided to look it up (me included). Dan did not tell us to go look up Thom Yorke or Radiohead or anything. He simply played part of the piano piece in a video and people were interested. There is no reason for people to be rude to Dan's fans for looking up music. They might get interested in this music and want to learn more about it which is perfectly fine. Now for the people who came from Dan's video: I was interested in this song as well and decided to look it up. I listened to Thom Yorke's version and now this version as well. I am learning how to play it on my piano, but you don't need to come commenting on here and say that everyone came from Dan. Yes, some people were inspired by Dan to look up this music but many people like this music already and want to hear it. For people saying Dan's version is better: Dan doesn't have a version. He played a small amount of Thom Yorke's piano version in a small part of a video. Everyone please be respectful. Let's all enjoy this great piece of music and not worry about how who got here and who's been here before and all of that.

Never get tired of the bass, the lyrics and the atmospherics of the track. No line of poetry in this composition is lost on me, its more than enough to make a man cry.

1:20 When you're Radiohead lead singer but Naruto is life

I was not only brought here by Dan, but I've known this song for quite a long time, along with Thom Yorke. People are dissing on Dan for bringing people who OBVIOUSLY want to listen to this song fully? There's only a short clip of him playing, and if you do not know who Dan is.. Dan is a very talented you tuber who creates videos that teenagers and even adults can relate to. He's got a music taste like every one of you guys.. There is no need to diss on him for showing fans a song that he can play on piano.

thom yorke brought me here 😍😍

This literally sounds like my entire childhood. I remember my sister playing me this song on piano. :)

I think this song is about the desire to be a kid forever flying in the face of natural aging. "If I'm not there now physically, I'm always before you come what may." So beautiful

Most beautiful music video I've seen in a while.

who cares about how people got here? let's band together and appreciate this beautiful piece of music.

I have been listening to and watching Thom Yorke for years and... it kind of fills me with this happiness and pride to have seen him evolve throughout the years... and here he is now, still making music and dancing and being great. Rock on, Thom :]

2024 and whenever I come back to this song it still feels like the first time.

4:06 how I handle bad news

This video is art

it always gets me teary from when they lean back to back and sink down

I mean i was already obsessed with lotus flower song and video, but this is on a whole other level of creativity and execution and im here for it

I'm getting me a suit like this.

Thom Yorke... This man is a real genius.

this is honestly my favourite music video of all time

это прекрасно. Я увидела этот клип однажды на телеканале 2х2 в музыкальном блоке, не пожалела, что осталась смотреть и слушать

Even if some people found this through Dan Howell, just incase you don't know who I'm talking about, who cares? They obviously came here because they like the music, and either wanted to hear more or hear what it usually sounds like. Finding music isn't a bad thing, and it doesn't matter where you found it from if you like it.

Thom Yorke could make a song consisting solely of the sounds of an 80s printer, a 90s modem and his vocals, and it would STILL be brilliant!

One of the absolute best songs😭Thom Yorke is a treasure

Lyrics: You know like the back of your hand Who let 'em in? You got me into this mess You get me out You know like the back of your hand Your bell jar Your collection Ingenue You got me into this mess Fools rushing in, yeah And they know it The seeds of the dandelion you blow away In good time, I hope I pray If I'm not there now, physically I'm always before you, come what may And you know it Fools rushing in, yeah Well you know it Who let them in? Yeah well you know it Gone with a touch of your Gone with a touch of your hand Move through the moment Though it betrays transformations Jackals and flames If I knew now what I knew then Just give me more time I hope and pray I mistake all you say The seeds of the dandelion you blow away

I could watch this forever. So haunting yet so hypnotizing.

I feel like lyrics touch on something far more deep than what we can understand. Brilliant musician

Beautiful video

there's no way this song could've been any better... it's just perfect

Thom's voice is so soothing

This song is so beautiful that I want to bathe in it.

Gracias Thom por existir.

The instrumental version is so raw and powerful. It's stripped out of it's catchy techno tunes and is just Thom and his piano. It's so beautiful. Please watch it!!

This video is wonderful and that dancer is amazing!

Words cannot describe how much I love this song.

One of the coolest songs ever.

The greatest father-daughter dance ever.

Such a fascinating song and video. He is getting sexier with age omg!

At least this ''Dan'' you speak of has great taste in music.

Том Йорк, а давай ты не будешь стареть, а? Чувак, твори дальше все то офигенно крутое, что у тебя получается! И кстати, отдельное тебе спасибо, что вывел нас из тени, таких же как ты - мы так же танцуем. Теперь нам нечего стесняться.

I've seen this 20+ times, but now just realized, that perhaps this video is about moving beyond the "singularity" of love - as the video starts and ends with Thom by himself, but through the song, there is a second 'version' of himself, a female version, his same/opposition, etc. - in a way that the song or feelings bring out a second version...

i just wanted to learn about atoms

La elegancia de esta canción es irresistible.

This is one of those songs where I can close my eyes and imagine a cool environment around me.

This superb track sounds like the Alien in the film 'Annihilation'.

this song is genius

It's not true love unless you mistakenly wear the same outfit on your first date at the theater.

I listened to this masterpiece for all day, a day in Lisbon without food, without friends, completely alone.. Love this song, it touch me deeply in the soul, and beyond

After watching this thome isn’t just one of my favourite artists of all time but also one of my favourite people
