    Thom needs to score a sci-fi movie already.
  • @Volksgeist
    this might be my favorite music video ever
  • @strangemarkings
    This is what happens when you name a kid Thom instead of Tom.

    I have loved Radiohead since I was a youngling, a teenager in my bedroom around the age of 13, listening to their songs over and over again. Thom still moves me like no other artist can.
  • @TheVdekjakalit
    Thom is definitely like fine wine, gets better with time
  • @yoshiohanafusa
    Circling the drain is a medical term used during an operation...means "no matter how hard we try to save this man, he is most likely going to die."
  • @sholonator92
    This guy is probably one of the most creative, inventive, complex minds of pop music today, a total genius
  • @DontMockForest
    This is the best audiovisual expression of that feeling you get when you start losing your grasp on reality when you fall into a severe depressive episode I have ever come across.
  • @apollo_gen
    This song sounds so desolate, eerie and maybe even otherworldly, yet it's so calming. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of overwhelming loneliness. I love it.
  • @numinous123
    When the astronaut (distant, impassive, observer) walks past all the drone-like people on fire and finally runs into another astronaut like himself, and then his horror when he's sees there are other astronauts who are also drone-like is just genius. It's like Thom is saying, you might be different, but you might be more like the people you've been observing than you think.
  • Anyone else feel like it's a WHOLE different experience watching and listening rather than just listening???
  • @HomageBeats
    i hope when im 50, i can be 10% as amazing a thom
  • After experiencing certain things in life, I now identify with this song in a different way. So many people are wrapped up in their own existence and earthly worries. Many people fail to stop and look around at how weird this world we live in truly is. For some it doesn't matter. They'd rather stay oblivious. It's easy to feel alone. Or to feel like you are the only person who feels this way. But in reality you are not alone in feeling this way. To me, the black and white cements the feeling of duality. Although life is so much more than black and white. The vague shapes of people make you fill in the blanks. The astronaut is the observer, observing the swathes of unquestioning masses.
