The ways in which Radiohead's music has challenged me as a musician and songwriter are unspeakable, but I try my best to put it in words in this video about this deeply embedded musical idea hiding in plain sight (hearing): hidden syncopation.
This is a subject worth many more videos and words, but for now, to view it through the lens of "Videotape" I hope excites and motivates you to get out there and really study and make more music.

This video is a masterpiece, it's narrated like a detective story. And the murderer is totally unexpected. I always had the vague feeling that that song had something unusual in it, and now I know WHY. Thank you so much.

Everybody in Radiohead has impeccable rhythm. I love when they purposely obscure where the down beat is in some of their songs. Reckoner comes in on the 4 and keeps you floating until the guitar comes in on the 1. Their song the Butcher completely throws you off, making you think it's a simple four on the floor feel until it flips and the kick is on all the up beats (at least the electronic kick). So good.

I am crying. real tears. I have been taking drum classes for about an year. When i realized this unknowingly a few months ago while listening to the song, i couldnt put it into words but i felt like something had clicked and i didnt think much of it. But I had the song stuck in my head for days. Watching this video.. why am I crying? Its like witnessing god.

could you do the same with true love waits? this is great dude

This video is perfect. A treat to watch for an avid Radiohead fan. I love that you included bits off of the At Ease message board and Citizen Insane. Radiohead fandom par excellence.
Also: At Ease is still around.

this is a quote from thom talking to david byrne about videotape:
TY: Oh God we tried torturously many--. I mean, I canāt think of an
example. I mean āVideotapeā was the absolute--uh, the last track--the
last track was the absolute agony, because that went through every
possible parameter. I had an absolute obsession that it should be
umm--like Surgeon, which is really hard, you know, uh, post-rave trance
track. [Laughs.] And umm... Tried endlessly, you know? [Laughs.]
And to be fair to the others, they didnāt--they didnātāas
they possibly shouldāve doneākick me out of the room. Uh, but--uh, you
know--we tried and possibly we got something out of it but probably not.
But you know, and the other thing was that-- with that track--was that
Jonny was absolutely obsessed about the fact that the piano was in the
wrong, you know, the piano was ahead--itās an eighth ahead of where the
one is. [Laughs.] The one is an eighth ahead. And he wanted to just
stuck to the whole rhythm an eighth ahead. So you--but it didnāt. It was
a constant argument about where the one was. [Laughs.]
And shifting it and blah-blah. And then we ended up with
something really, really bad, you know. And what happened was I left
the-funny enough, I left the studio-. [Laughs.]
-for, like, most of the day. [Laughs.] Came back in the evening,
umm, and Jonny and Nigel had stripped everything away. And what we were
left with is what was on the record. So there you go.

VOX brought me here...bruh one word DOPE

Very interesting. I always thought this song was almost too simple; there had to be something else happening. At this point, I cannot un-hear those piano chords on the downbeat. I had the same problem with "Bodysnatchers," initially. I heard the opening guitar accents as downbeats, so when the drums came in, it sounded crazy.

This is so great. One of my favourite videos of 2016.
When I first heard "Videotape" I thought it was the most boring song on the album and always skipped it. But at a certain moment, when I really got into Radiohead, I gave it another try and listened to the whole song. As soon as I heard the beats, my previous opinions about the song faded away directly. There was something about it that messed with my brain, but couldn't really figure out what exactly was going on.
I always thought that the drums/beats were off-beat, but now it's obvious; the piano is syncopated.
Speechless. Well done Warren

Videotape was far from favourite Radiohead track but my god, I have a huge new appreciation for it now! There is always 'more' to most Radiohead tracks! There is not another band on earth that devotes such time and care when it comes to pacing and rhythm. Thank you Warren!

the hardest one is little by little, followed shortly by identikit due to where the accents on guitar are and where the recorded drums start

38 minutes of my life well spent!

this blew my mind

When the rhythm finally clicked for me, it was like my gaze finding the sailboat in the Hidden Eye poster. Thanks.

Ignoring the fact that the content of this video is superb, I have to go out of my way and complement your format, which adds so much to it. I love your manner of speaking, and the lack of editing. Your demeanor is so conversational, easing the guard I've developed against overly crafted videos or essays whose attempts at convincing me of something bring out the hypercritical skeptic in me. But I can just glide along with you and your thoughts. Thank you.

Brilliant work! Admittedly I had never come across syncopation before watching this video and I still can't 'hear' the different perspectives but you've done the best job possible of explaining it.

the most amazing thing is that the vocals on the album start exactly on the 1

Amazing. There's a few other things in RH songs that make me scratch my head and go crazy... ie: "The Butcher" the track starts off with this drum pattern which is very solid and rhythmic and then the synth line comes in and suddenly you notice the drum pattern changed... i listened to it so many times and still can't tell if the drum pattern actually does change or if its just an effect and just as the synth starts you realize that you were wrong and the drum pattern was different right from the beginning. Same happens in "identikit", song starts, you get this dancey groove and then when the guitar kicks in, it's like you were perceiving the drums the wrong way.. in "little by little" after years of listening i still can't figure out the transition from 1st chorus to 2nd verse...(i've also heard someone overdubbing a drum track over studio version of Little by Little and the chorus was completely different, just like what you did here in Videotape, it was more danceable, so to speak)... another one, not RH but Thom's... "Theres no ice for my drink" that's the closest ive heard to free beat interpretation. every time i listen to it i hear the 1 somewhere different, it even changes as the song goes on, but i realize its just my perception, since the kick drum stays the same the whole song...but it really feels like you can listen to several variations from the main synth line, depending on where you place the attention... There's a few more other from RH songs that I cant remember right now as well..
Loved this video man, thanks!

I have tears. About 8 years ago once after a long day sight-reading percussion rhythms at the conservatory, I got on the bus and without looking at which song it was I unpaused the last song that was playing on my iPod and started following the rhythm of the drums, as one does when a song begins. It happened to be the last bit of Videotape after the drums had joined in, and I found myself counting the beats a way I had never done before when I listened to the song from the beginning. Was never a special one to me until then, I was obsessed with it for the following weeks. I haven't watched anything remotely related on YouTube lately so I can't explain how on earth this video showed up in my recommended list, but I can't put it in words the joy it gave me. It revived my love for music theory. Subscribed and followed instantly on last.fm. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
