Radiohead - The Gloaming Lyrics






Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Murderers, you're murderers
We are not the same as you
Genie let out of the bottle
Funny how, funny how
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
With your breathing
They will suck you down to the other side [x4]
To the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells
Shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells
They should be ringing [x12]
This is the gloaming
Shadows blue and red
Shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells
Your alarm bells
Shadows blue and red
Shadows blue and red
We're alarming
We're alarming
And the walls bend, and the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
And the walls bend, and the walls bend
What is he doin'? what is he doin'?
This is the gloaming [x4]
This is the

    musical mastery

  18. R.... 7....

    Thom seems to get a good laugh at Jonny’s HaHa sample

  19. T.... W....

    at 2:48 thomas yorke died and only thmyrk was left

  20. D.... M....

    What software is Jonny using to bounce around Thom's vocals?

    D.... M....

    MAX for Ableton Live (i think)

    D.... M....

    David McKelvey MaxMSP

    D.... M....

    Maxmsp which you essentially need to be a math genius to be able to use

    D.... M....

    @ACS ONE you don't. It does force you to bend your mind in ways you never thought were possible though.

  21. T.... P....

    This is such an incredible song and performance.

  22. P.... A....

    3:05 In reverse

  23. C.... ....

    Can we all appreciate that Jonny is "playing" a computer program he made himself?

    C.... ....

    Chables What?

    C.... ....

    the dude is such a hipster that he just decided to write his own daw cause the other ones didnt feel right to him

    C.... ....

    @fabio that intelligent bastard

    C.... ....

    it's called a sequencer, it is kind of a built in audio workstation with tracks and you basically use a gridlike matrix to record each instrument and then play them back . its basically like an MPC pad with the grid on it but built in the keyboard

  24. M.... D....

    With trump being Americas president, i feel this should be more relevant than ever

    M.... D....

    Mr. Danners hail to the thief was inspired by how bush stole the election from gore bk of Florida and not counting votes

    M.... D....

    I feel the same way about 2+2=5

  25. N.... ....

    those drums on this live version add so much

    N.... ....

    The baseline is so much better live too. I actually really liked this version of the gloaming, but never really listened to the actual version. When I did it honestly kinda sucked compared to the basement version. It’s just like the basement version of King of Limbs. Didn’t really seem too put together when you listen to the studio, but live? You totally began to understand what they were going for, like this synthy-alt rock vibe that’s never been done before. Also I fucking love you’re YouTube channel if this is the real Jakey.

    N.... ....

    is that a real gamer girl

    N.... ....

    eyy lmao it's nakeyjakey

    N.... ....

    Didn’t expect you to be here

  28. D.... W....

    I dont know why, this in the live concerts souonds like shiet... here sounds nice.

  29. v.... ....

    way better than the album version

  30. J.... V....

    my alarm bells have been ringing for as long as I can remember ...a song that scares me :-)

  31. s.... ....

    "It should be Reagan, It should be Reagan"

    s.... ....

    sircowen I refuse to believe the lyrics are anything else

    s.... ....

    @sircowen They would never praise Reagan.

    I always knew they were saying your alarm bells should be ringing, because of the other language, "they will suck you down to the other side", plus "your alarm bells" "they should be ringing", it follows and makes perfect sense that your alarm bells should be ringing. Also, "shadows blue and red" to me means not only Dali but the shadows of the two party system in the U.S. which is represented by red(repub) and blue(dem), and your alarm bells certainly _should_ be ringing about the shadows (dark money) behind both Blue and Red, which will suck you down to the other side, which is poverty, despair, and hopelessness. It is the gloaming, the twilight, of neoliberalism, the late stage of capitalism, and what will come at dawn? Fascism or a socialist revolution? Or simply decay. The genie has been let out of the bottle, people are seeing behind the curtain, and the time to finally rise up against this oppressive established global neoliberal capitalist order is upon us.

    To go with that, Radiohead- The Numbers:
    We call upon the people
    Only people have this power
    And the numbers don't decide
    The system is a lie
    A river running dry[...]
    And you may pour us away like soup
    Like we're pretty broken flowers
    But we'll take back what is ours
    Yeah we'll take back what is ours
    One day at a time (If not take back the means of production of the ruling class, at least take back the social conditions we had before the last 40 yrs of neoliberalism in the U.S. and austerity in the UK and EU)

    Or Radiohead- No Surprises: "No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
    "No alarms and no surprises
    You look so tired, unhappy
    Bring down the government
    They don't, they don't speak for us" (They speak for the rich elite)


    Now for being put on a watch list. But I maintain this is what they mean, at least to me.

  32. P.... P....

    I am watching this on mute... it is still breathtaking.

  33. K.... S....

    I love how at 2:48 Thom gets possessed while dancing and moves out of the frame entirely lol.

    K.... S....

    Hahahaha! I've noticed he ALWAYS goes out of the frame when playing this song live... he just enjoys it so much! Ecstatic.

  34. J.... B....

    Nows not the time to be playing computer games Johnny...

    J.... B....

    collin actually seems like he would get really into train simulator or something, he's so sweet.

  35. B.... S....

    God this version is so much better than the studio one.

    B.... S....

    Agreed. The contrast in quality between live and studio reminds me of "Like Spinning Plates".

    B.... S....

    Like spinning plates studio is awesome like the live version

    B.... S....

    oh geez rick!

    B.... S....

    SO GOOD. SO SUPERIOR.

  36. F.... S....

  39. M.... H....

    great song to listen to whilst driving

  40. b.... ....

    it reminds me spider’s web. amazing

  41. J.... E....

    This song was like hail to the theirs version of idioteque great tracks

    J.... E....

    I agree 100%

    J.... E....

    no the HTTT version of Idioteque is Sit Down. Stand up

    J.... E....

    That would be Backdrifts I feel

    J.... E....

    More like an HTTT version of Feral.

  42. L.... F....

    Your alarm bells should be ringing! This is the gloaming...

    L.... F....

    i always thought he said "it should be raining".

    L.... F....

    Lu Fi I thought it was "it should be reagan"

  43. L.... G....

    Este tema es FILETE!!!!!!!!

  44. D.... J....

    This song is so good live, tv would never do it justice. I also love it on the album too, great sounds and great to sing to. 

  45. G.... W....

    dat bassline, Colin is awesome
    this is better than the album version in my opinion

    G.... W....

    Gustami Wahid Fathurrahman Rt

    G.... W....

    Dat vaseline

    G.... W....

    album version was a little manic

    G.... W....

    totally agree

    G.... W....

    Way better

  46. S.... ....

    PLEASE GO AWAY COLIN

    S.... ....

    Collin is the best part about this

    S.... ....

    First 5 seconds of the video

    S.... ....

    Guys, the joke is that one of the rack processors has "PLEASE GO AWAY COLIN" programmed to scroll across as seen in the intro.

  47. T.... ....

    I'm crying for this bassline! Eccellent quality!!

  48. a.... ....

    Fuck. Shit. UNF

  49. M.... ....

    That song is actually on Hail To The Thief. So it has 10 y.o. And yes, it is really underrated.

  50. b.... b....

    fapfapfap

  51. C.... R....

    COLIN EXCELENTE

  52. P.... B....

    1:08 Jonny! Stop playing games!

  53. T.... ....

    The album version lacks that part where Colin and Phil come in. Imo that part makes the song what it is. Thus, I conclude I like this version an awful, gluttonous amount.

  54. Y.... ....

    This pretty much blows every other band out of the water

  55. 0.... ....

    i miss this bass on the album version

  56. D.... C....

    @itsachickenwiththing Colin is such a boss!

  57. i.... ....

    Dat bass.

  58. T.... M....

    the bass

  59. H.... N....

    Such a good track.
