this is my favorite version of one of my favorite songs

[joshrocha]

"Dad why is my sister's name Rose?"
"Because your Mother loves roses."
"Thanks Dad"
"No problem *Jonny Greenwood On A TR-909 During Videotape* "

[RoboBoddicker]

Phil Selway knocks on the studio door, sticks in hand.
TR-909 opens the door a crack, the chain still on the latch. "Look, Phillip, there's no easy way to say this..."

[ILoveMagic]

I'm starting to think that my obsession with this band has become unhealthy

[dmbcrew]

This is Thom's favourite song from the new album.

[rabbitsandcarrots]

this is the best version of videotape. it takes the simplicity of the studio version and adds the beautiful buildup of the 2006 version. epic in a subtle way.

Thom's hair around In Rainbows time is goals

[Hoscitt]

I love that in 13.8 billion years i share the same handful of years here as this band ❤

[masonpitzel]

Thom and Jonny are fantastic in this, as always, but I think that Ed's processed guitar antics really make this version.

[Matthew-xmsp]

Ahaaa finally got the syncopation and it sounds a hell of a lot better

[tovmusic]

I have suicidal thoughts and listening to this song makes me feel like there's something to relate to. It's the most beautiful song from In Rainbows. "No matter what happens now, you shouldn't be afraid. Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen." I don't want to be here anymore but maybe this will soothe me.

[deadstarbaby]

this version is even better than the album version. amazing clear vocals by thom and the best use of the piano and drum machine that can be thought up. Hail to the Relief.

[carolc]

sometimes i feel bad because i don't feel part of this world anymore, and i don't act like everyone else, and i don't want the things everyone else wants... and then i realize it's ok i have radiohead

[superthesam]

I love how emotional Radiohead is, I'v never seen a video of them where Thom and Mr. Greenwood aren't waggin their little music genius brains back and forth. Amazing

[baskingblackbird]

I think I've listened to almost all versions of this song and I find this one to be BY FAR the best.
This song is like therapy to me. Sitting still, just listening and connecting to the music and Thom's voice touches something deep inside of me, that I normally can't reach. Thank you, Radiohead.

This is my favorite version of Videotape because of the magic that is happening with the drums programming.
At around 1:40 there's a metronome-sounding "tock" beat is introduced, which is shifted upstream by 1/8 relative to the downbeat, and gradually becomes more prominent, and over a span of a minute it morphs into the distinct upbeat without changing the meter; the kick, the piano, and the bass become syncopated relative to it by 1/8, and there's a silent downbeat 1/8 downstream of the kick. It's like a sleight of hand done in slow motion, and you still can't put the finger on it. I don't know of any other song that does something similar.

[Thunda]

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red, blue, green
In red, blue, green
You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape, on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
Cause I can't do it face to face
So talking to you after it's too late
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen

This song sends chills up my

[TYbudgie]

This may be my favorite version of this song. Ed's work is pretty great here.

[whos.jadd]

Radioheads music has quite literally saved my life, relating to a lot of the song lyrics made by them makes me feel not alone, like listening to them is a release for me from the world, to realise I can let myself feel the negative emotions I need to feel before continuing living my life. I will forever love this band and their music <3

[chrisconnor]

Radiohead are at the absolute peak of their aural powers when Ed is "resonating." I'm not sure thats the proper word, I'm not sure there is a proper word, but many of you will know what I mean
