producer: what is the time signature of this song? radiohead: yes/4

Love hearing someone gush about the chords as much as I feel them

I wish my life had the clarity of this explanation.

This is unquestionnably the best, ever, explanation/tutorial video for Pyramid Song.

I love YouTube for this reason. A little wine with my spaghetti, and next thing you know I'm 30min into a video of a stranger deep diving into Pyramid Song. Thank you so much for putting your time into such a detailed video!

All these years later, this song still gives me chills. It still feels eerie. Thank you for the detailed analysis.

"If you grew up listening to blues or jazz, you're free". <3

I think this may be Radiohead's best song, and you're raising my appreciation of it even higher. Excellent analysis!

I am always "no more subscriptions I am following too many channels already". And then I discover you with this video ...

There are not many pieces of music that bring a lump to my throat and that keeps me totally captivated from the very start to the end, but this is one of those.

This song has always felt like being on large wooden sail ship in heavy seas at night under the stars, hanging on for dear life as it sways side to side, to me.

watched this video knowing hardly anything about music theory and i feel enlightened

My eyes have been dry and sore all day. Pyramid song has always been one of my favourite songs, and is deeply connected with a friend who killed herself 20 years ago. My eyes are no longer dry.

Fun fact, this song was initially called Egyptian Song. A live version was kicking around the internet for a couple of years before Amnesiac was released.

I've been a drummer and a Radiohead fan for many years, and I could never work this song out. The fact that it is in 4/4 blows my mind, but you're right. In the end I just kinda worked it out through repetition and feeling it, but now it seems so much simpler to understand. Thank you!

Ugh, once again time for my eyes to inexplicably well up with tears while you go over chord progressions

This is the first time I have watched this content creator. I have seen dozens of "Music expert reacts to a popular recording" type videos and this is absolutely the best I have seen. It fills all the gaps left by all the other "experts" who do similar content. It does far more than just pretend to love it, or shout out the basic chords (which only makes me wonder if they looked them up on a tab from a Google search and noted them down before recording the video). As it goes it actually describes why the music sounds like it does.

For like 9 years I had no idea how to count this thing. One day I got that exact "It's a clave!" eureka moment you had, because I realized if you ignore the harmony, that pattern of "3-2 / 3-3-2 / 3" becomes "3-3-2 / 3-3-2" which is two claves in a row. And just like you said "I could just feel, confidently" I felt the exact same thing.

I love how the song can be very reasonably interpreted in different ways like how a pyramid looks like a triangle from some angles and a square from others
