Radiohead - Videotape Lyrics
When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape
My videotape
When Mephistopheles is just beneath
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
Because I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you before...
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know
Today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen

Radiohead Videotape Comments
True story: I have never been really emotional about a song but I heard this a little before my grandad passed away. He was one of my heroes. This tune always reminds me of him. 6 months after his passing I went to a radiohead concert and I never thought they would play this. They did and I was smiling sobbing and singing all at the same time. Never forget that. Ever
This song really makes me want to go out and hug all my loved ones and find new loved ones to hug.
This is one for the good days.
Lacey I love u this day last year was the last day I saw u n got to tell my 32 year old sister goodnight who my mom n I found tears roll down my eyes
You are my center when I spin away
Dedicata a mio figlio che non c'è più ormai da un anno
No habia una calidad de audio mas mala que la actual?
Where are the drums :c
At one point I thought this song was about God looking over your life when you died, reviewing your actions and all that, as if on a videotape.
reminds me of julian from trailer park boys when he is doing security or w.e
...How? lmao
better version
disintegrate.
I’m fully convinced this is the best song that exists.
Crazy how regular folks will find these type of songs depressing, while depressed people use these as a coping mechanism.
@TheJerseyDevil it's a saying
@TheJerseyDevil Trust me, acting emotionless on the comments section of a Radiohead video won't make you look big, tough or clever.....It will *literally* make you look like a potential psychopath
Regular folk are not hard-wired to be creative, thus have less complex & creative thoughts and can wander on thru life telling people to pull themselves together.
Emotive music like Radiohead is not simple music, it's designed to make you think. Some people don't like thinking or simply can't make original thoughts(I'm going to call those people 'The Radioheadless')
@Pippi Lawnstomping a saying that seems out off place in the comments of a radiohead video because i dont think anyone is disturbed by this
@Interstellar Beat Teller in what way am i acting emotionless? And *trust me* im not portraying myself as anything because i dont care what people think of me. Seems like your standards for being a psychopath are pretty low. btw i like radiohead dumbass
Just by this song, Nude and Werid Fishes you can tell that this is the best radiohead album.
Trent Reznor or Thom York?
It’s eerie to hear how different this song is compared to the album version. The album version is more of a sorrow with hope, this version is just, complete sorrow, it’s harrowing honestly.
Another beauty from the depths of despair and happiness that is unambiguously Radiohead
Hmm...he's playing the piano just between the strong beats. So it has the feeling of being a little late...to work, or catch a train, or a little past the deadline. The whole way pretty much.
Ela Lamblin Ooh! I just watched "the secret rythm behind Radiohead's videotape" by Vox, which explains what you noticed. It was a very interesting video, and it definitely added a new dimension to this song.
wish you were here lookin ass
this'll be my suicide song...
MotherMustang ):
The last verse really got me :')
you can just about hear the metronome that makes this track syncopated
Thank you Radiohead I believe the best cure for depression is truly realizing that we are temporary and one day will expire.
This song is 154 bpm. So insane. Can't stop listening just to try to hold the beat the whole time
so beautiful , the darkness is wonderful
This will be played at my funeral....
I love this song... <3
Anyone else trying to to drum the correct syncopated beat in the beginning of the song. Its so difficult!
Well, still here in 2019. This song is apart of my life, if I have kids, i'll force them to listen to radiohead in the car like my parents.
I watch this movie several million times per day. Trying to build a sunroom but I dont have the funds to build a new wing. .....yet
i dont know if this is healing or amplifying my depression
bad sound quality
Best song ever
Hay belleza en ma tristeza
I like this
immer noch: paragraf 3, absatz 5, maximal 2 liebeserklärungen am tag sind erlaubt: späte entdeckung, andere leute sind euch 20 jahre auf der spur!
This song gives me chills up and down my entire body...
No matter what happens now
I can’t be afraid
Because I know that today has
Been the most perfect day I’ve ever seen
You're stronger than you think.
This song is very stoic I think. It forces me to look my worst fears and dreads straight into the eyes. Forces you to look straight into the deep pitch black abyss or something. And that feels really scary. But in the end, it liberates you. The most perfect day I've ever seen . Acknowledging your fears and the inevitability of death makes you feel alive, puts things into perspective and basically, just makes you grateful for being alive.
Every. Single. Track. In this album is a favourite. Thank you.
Why is the cover art literally the same one as wish you were here?
goosebumps and tears
Standing before the judgement seat of Christ. Most of what I bring will be chaff. But only for the grace of God can I be saved.
Still can't believe the piano is syncopated, I need to mentally shift everything and suddenly this song feels so much more frenetic and lonely.
[Verse 1] When I'm at the pearly gates This'll be on my videotape, my videotape When 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, on videotape, on videotape [Verse 2] This is my way of saying goodbye Because I can't do it face to face So I'm talking to you before- No matter what happens now You shouldn't be afraid Because I know today has been The most perfect day I've ever seen
The timing on this song is so unnecessarily bizarre and out of sync....
Michael Love ! This endless series on world damnation on the majority of the videotapes is not forever punishable sin because of Baal . Jesus Christ after all the years that never came between you and the Lord but man ever being to understand his own Maker it’s not angelic retribution for His sons death but putting down biological animals to you even Samael profess to be the least best of the Fathers making as to whom rebel too .
The one that used to be my loved one hates me, my family hates me. Fuck, sometimes I think life is too exhausting to even try.
If one day I give up this will be the last song I'll listen before I leave.
this is the song about every canine I've ever had to euthanize. we have two very old dogs. I do not know if I will become more dissociative or explode when the time comes. http://rduffus.wordpress.com i will be writing about it, any day. i've already written the ones who lie buried outside.
one of the most moving, sad song... i feel my heart coming apart. just a note at a time. and he's gone, she's gone, they are gone, they have died, they're cremated, buried, the potassium has been injected. too much morphine. goodbye it says. goodbye. and here, today Doris Day #dorisday died. we will only see her again #goodbye #videotape
Sadness......An emotion.
Depression......No emotion at all.
This song makes me think of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind for some reason.
you ever watch it on videotape maybe?
I still dont understand how this is syncopated...
It's fuckin amazing. You can hear what sounds like a metronome on beat towards the end.
All you musicians out there ……fuck me….those chord changes right?!
Where did you find this version?
Radiohead: makes song with weird beat
Vox: that’s deep bro
I wanna end my life
Don’t.
very bad quality of the record.
Vinagangz điểm danh
2019 ai còn nghe
This is actually fucking depressing
Holy shit
i had to go listen to some Joy Division to cheer myself up
Claire Voyant Well unknown pleasures literally made me cry at work and then I put in rainbows on to cheer me up, I don’t think it’s too sad
I was literally just listening to Joy Division.They are quite a bit more upbeat than this.
Genius!
You stole my funny big fella
but are u a cuck...id say yes u sodding cuck
This is my webm.
Play it at the funeral
*sad hours*
This is my way of saying goodbye....
Because I cant do it face to face.
I'm talking to you after it's too late.
R.I.P Hogie.. 1984-2019
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you'll go through that difficult journey with the least amount of unbearable pain possible.
Love and courage from France. Take care of yourself and your loved ones! For Hogie...
Homie not that we personally met but only darkness enlightens one to see no light to the Sun . God bless .
You can hear the syncopated metronome right from 2:52
Beautiful
https://youtu.be/KU8HiNPiGZc
Rare blue-green
Thank you brockhampton for introducing me to this masterpiece (yes I’m one of those annoying ppl who did not know the original song first xD)
It's ok your not the only one💀
this song has a rhythmic illusion
This a perfect song and I am so glad it exists. Thanks for making this, band.
2:05 oh, shit.
Listening to this for the first time. WHY am I crying?
Because it's beautiful!
INCRIVEL
top choice to play in the unfornuate instance of puking your guts out while delivering pizzas
i genuinely curious as to why all of Radiohead’s song without music videos aren’t available online
Because Mr Yorke and crew don't want to, true story
bob marley has a wicked smile
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
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm 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
I started to cry listening to this...so unnecesarily emo right now. It's just you think sentimentally about ur own life.
This song makes me feel dumb. I can read charts in 3 3/4:4 time but this thing kicks my ass in 4:4
Videotape

Videotape lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc
always enjoy returning to this ingenious piece. resonates me every time. helps me through tough thoughts and events in my life. thank you radiohead.
I prefer this to the studio version
where can i find this version to buy or download?
@Maaz Shaikh just download this song from YouTube I agree though this is much better than the album version!
Why is this version different from the studio track
This is my way of saying goodbye...
I died...
I always find myself coming back here.
owen You must’ve seen some footage
You are one noided guy
this song is really an inanimate sensa a tion
This honestly is probably one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard it is very beautiful and a masterpiece also
listen to how to disappear completely
This is my way of saying goodbye
In Rainbows was/is/will always be one of the greatest albums to have been made in this century.
me dormí escuchando esta canción, fue hermoso
Always beautifully sad and haunting
Purpose is, A lot of music in the world are to enjoy individual’s emotions.
I think a lot, many times, frequently. As above
When I'm at the Pearly Gates
This'll be on
My videotape
My videotape
When 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 centre when I spin away
Out of control
On videotape
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
I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen
