I literally don't understand how we've gone this long without talking about Radiohead. It had to be done. And it will be done again. What else should we break down??

“Everything in its Right Place” is so perfect that it almost makes me mad. That keyboard tone is just insane.

9:51 "I bet you never heard an F major chord that can make a C major chord almost sound dark" - what a line 🤯🥹

Stephen Sondheim said he didn't listen to modern rock, because it wasn't harmonically complex enough to grab his interest, "except for Radiohead. They're great. They're doing so many things."

i was so scare he was gonna do "creep" but he actually did the best radiohead song of all time. well played

your teapot is going off

Spectre, the bond theme that never was, is another Radiohead masterpiece like this. Odd time, simple but complex, and that out of nowhere major chord that sends the song to an even darker mood somehow. Please check it out. It's a shame the Bond producers went a different route after Radiohead gave them this song.

thank god it's not creep (G B C Cm)

Dear YouTube algorithm, why did it take you so long to present this wonderful content to me? immediate subscribe.

That e-piano intro has something that enters your deeper layers. Sounds simple but goes deep

I'll never forget the story about how Beethoven once played a V maj 7 chord and went to bed, but had to get up and play the 1 chord just so he could go back to bed and sleep XD

The rhythm of that whole piece is also part of the secret sauce. That 4/4 to 6/4, with the straight ticking of the perc, just makes it such a killer piece.

song title is 'everything In Its right place'. would have been nice if that was mentioned somewhere as not everyone knows :person-turqouise-waving:

Charles, this was brilliant.  I’m a classical pianist, and the use of the sharp 5 reminded me of Maurice Ravel’s Ondine from Gaspard de la Nuit.  Scintillating, mysterious, unresolved, magical all apply.  Radiohead was genius.  I’m going to put my noise cancelling headphones on and immerse myself in their music.  Love your channel.  Keep up the great work!

The suspense and chaos in “How to Disappear Completely”, also by Radiohead, that only resolves at the very end of the song makes listening to the song an amazing experience. You kind of expect a song that just feels tense and weird from the start till the end, but then they hit you with the resolution that is so clear and melodic. It fits perfectly and horribly at the same time. Would really like a video from you on that song.

This song blows my phrygian mind

There are so many great Radiohead songs played on piano that you could analyze: Pyramid Song, Sail to The Moon, Videotape, Codex, and the live versions of Like Spinning Plates and Bloom

I wrote my Composition Thesis in college on this song - loved hearing you pull out all the opposing forces/harmonies/key centers in this!  A simple masterpiece of a song

The chordal movements halfway through Daydreaming-  off “A Moon Shaped Pool”, are absolutely gorgeous

11:58 thank you for resolving it hahaha
