Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead (cover)

Possibly the most haunting song I’ve ever heard. Definitely one of Radiohead’s finest.

I had a version of this up before but I’ve been meaning to replace it as I wasn’t happy with it.

From Wikipedia:

“"Street Spirit (Fade Out)" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released on their second studio album, The Bends (1995). It was released as a single on 22 January 1996 and reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, Radiohead's highest position up to that point. Radiohead considered it a breakthrough in their songwriting. It was accompanied by a music video by Jonathan Glazer, and has been covered by acts including Peter Gabriel and the Darkness.”

Lyrics:

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again
And fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again
And fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

Adam does it again. Brutally difficult riff to play perfectly and sing at the same time.

When I was a kid I was messing with the TV and I found out that someone was broadcasting this song over and over again. I was living in a post-communist country with only two channels available. I didn't understand anything but the music was enchanting. Many years later youtube is reminding me of this experience. Those little things made me learn English.

BRO YOUR RADIOHEAD COVERS ARE ACTUALLY A BLESSING TF?!?!?!???!?!??

[eccod]

The hair on the back of my neck stood on end when the first chorus hit. Thanks for treating my favorite Radiohead song so well.

[ramonarickettez]

It’s like listening to the heart of the song. I am in love.

[williammcgrath]

One of my favorites from Radiohead. You smashed it mate! That right hand did not miss a beat.

[mikespetz]

Your vocal control is crazy! I’m currently learning this song myself but my voice has been breaking on “again.” I love the graceful wavering timbre of your voice on that part, it really takes up the room and adds a nice ambiance. Big fan of your covers man, keep up the great work.

Just flicking through youtube, landed on a gem. my guy, I'm not sure you know how good you are, sitting in a bedroom spitting out radiohead covers. Amazing.

[angmering]

The reverb on that vocal is just ~chef's kiss~

[GoofyWelshGit]

Haunting. You've a wonderful vocal tone, managing to enrich throughout with subtle mixed voice. Not flashy nor self indulgent. I feel you nail the emotional context of the song, too. Delicate, with rich timbre. Perfect.

You are one of the best Radiohead cover guitarists on Youtube bro, keep it up!

[do_a_powerbomb]

Holy shit, I just stumbled on your channel and was not expecting to have my FACE MELTED. Nice work, beautiful voice!

[Tunaaf_]

this may be the most special song to me for a particular reasons. i loved your cover it is truly amazing

[benmoore]

Shit dude your playlist of covers is unbelievably good. Keep it up!

[PetrMatas]

Your version is better (by my opinion) then original version. I had to listen the Radiohead original again and the acoustic version Le Reservoir Live by Radiohead. I have to say that your version is more emotional, harmonic, better crystalline sound. This cover version got me to the Radiohead again. Your cover is the opener for me. Thank You!!!!

[KINGMONKEY]

WOW Jaws just hit the floor. The tone of the guitar and your voice is spellbinding. Bro you are incredible.

[MEBoisv]

I played guitar when I was younger, but then I stopped playing for twenty years. Last month I picked it up again and it's starting to come back to me. My favorite bands include Radiohead and The Smiths, and I've found your channel to be incredibly inspirational. Keep doing what you do. Thank you.

[GroggRhine]

One of the great songs where you see the word "cover", grit your teeth, press play and come out the other end humming, smiling, swaying your head and thinking back to the Radiohead gig in Galway. Well done. Great cover. Love your stuff!

[tonyroberts]

Absolute quality cover this mate.. well done 👌

[DeezN]

Your voice is made for This type of melancholic music
