Analyzing Radiohead's harmonies

One of my top 3 favorite Radiohead songs, if it's even possible to pick, "Everything In Its Right Place" is a masterpiece, an abstract dream. The harmonies of this song are a true thing of beauty, and that Dbmaj9 is my :: soulmate :: Thanks for watching! More coming soon.

I feel like C is the key Thom feels drawn to through most of the song and can't get away from, but F is where everything is truly in its right place.

"I messed those chords up, but I like them, so I'm gonna keep them". Words to live by.

I didn't know anything about Radiohead but I heard Paranoid Android on the radio and ordered OK Computer online. What I received was the Kid A disc in an OK Computer CD case and listening to it felt like the music opened a crack in my mind and let some new coloured light in that I'd never seen before. I like both albums but Kid A has always felt special to me in a way that is beyond words.

A new era has begun. Nin and radiohead have always been my top 2. You have such depth and I've seen some 'syncopated' analysis of many pieces by radiohead, but I am so excited to see you dipping into radiohead. Thank you.

[JonMurray]

Urgh… The chord progressions in this song. I can’t. Just stunning.

[samueltronbot]

It’s so satisfying to here some explanation as to why I love this song so much. There are two understandings in my head.

[oystercatcher]

I can’t get enough Radiohead analysis. Lovely to hear yours which is so informative. Beautiful playing and vocals thanks

[constructionbootgazer]

yes. Kid A and OK Computer are two of my favourite albums. Radiohead is such a unique band that just operates on a completely different level than anyone else. Between their compositions and lyrics, there is so much thought and depth in their music. I hope you do either or both of these records like you did with NIN; How to disappear completely, The Tourist, In Limbo, etc really all beg for your analysis.

[spacevspitch]

Yesss...I always thought the line "there are 2 colors in my head" and the fact that it keeps bouncing back and forth between C and F tonal centers was sweet but I've never seen anyone else point that out ❤

[ShadyMonkOfficial]

I love how even when you don't post about NIN, you still manage to hit the nail on the head on other music I love.

[samb]

I feel like mixolydian w/ a flat 6 is relatively common throughout their discography (in addition to making the tonic ambiguous, major vs minor, etc) a few of the many things that makes their music so cool!

[MrRandypanthegoatboy]

I love this entire album, and I'll go on and say it: *I* truly believe that this is the best opening song on about ANY album....and that's coming from someone who is one of the biggest TOOL fans ever as well!!!

[DerekPower]

I will always remember the day I bought Kid A. I was working as a library page. This library had a Best Buy nearby. So during one of my breaks, I went straight to Best Buy, bought the CD, and went back to work. When I started driving home, I started playing it. I still had a ways to go when I arrived home, so I resumed the rest when I got to my room. I then listened to it once through again. I knew right then and there that this album would be very special.

[owlbynight_js]

I was hoping you wouldn't stop at NIN. Great choice!

[DanRyanCarter]

I fucking love this channel so much. It makes me even more emotional when I hear you talk about how different parts affect you emotionally. It's like experiencing the songs for the first time all over again ❤️

[AndyGalligan]

I'd say it's in F considering bVI - bVII - I is one of the most common modal mixture progressions, it just doesn't resolve every time

[absea]

Great video. As an "ear" guitar player, I never learned the music vocabulary, so appreciate your articulate breakdown. I think of this riff as a "barber pole" - type progression, that is always winding upward, with the C holding the base, and tension as the chords move away from it. Brilliant.

[smkh]

There are some fascinating chords in Radiohead, very mysterious.

[RubemOliveiradePaula]

Today I was talking to my 7 year old daughter about this song. I told her that this is my favorite song. I've considered this my favorite song for around 20 years, I've always made the self teste for "what's my favorite song?" . It was time for her to sleep, than it was time for me to look for something new about that song. And I found this! What an amazing vídeo, with all that feeling! It's só good tô understand why, theoretically, I feel só good listening to it. Thank you so much!

This song and album was my introduction to Radiohead (and more experimental music in general) and boy was it intense. I wasn’t sure I liked it, but I knew right from the get-go that it was something worth pursuing
