Does anyone know who directed the video for this song? It's one of my favorites. ---> Grant Gee.
[edit] Recording information?
From about 8:00 - 11:00, Thom discusses No Surprises in this recent interview with NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=13&prgDate=12-Jul-06) and talks about how they recorded the song at a faster speed and slowed down the recording to lay the vocals over it.
[edit] possible copyright infringement
this paragraph "Thom Yorke introduced the song to his bandmates and the members of R.E.M. on the R.E.M. Monster Tour. They were all gathered on 3 August 1995, in a dressing room in Oslo, Norway. The lyrics originally told the story of a man who has become fed up with the way things are working out for him and is having problems with his girlfriend. Two lines from this version are, "He was sick of her excuses / To not take off her dress when bleedin' in the bathroom." Preparing to record the song, Thom Yorke altered the lyrics, but the meaning remains essentially the same. Musically and lyrically more direct than most of Radiohead's work, this track was also seen to fit smoothly into an album as complex as OK Computer." could have been copied from another source. The Radiohead fan website Green Plastic has the exact same piece of text found here .
I have no idea who had it first but having a look at the history of this page I am leaning towards a copyright infringement on the author of this article.
