About this song

"No Surprises" by Radiohead is the third single from their third album, "OK Computer," released in 1997. The song features a simple arrangement with acoustic guitar, glockenspiel, and Thom Yorke's distinctive vocals. Jonny Greenwood's guitar tab playing is notable for its use of a capo on the 7th fret, creating a bright and chiming sound. The lyrics reflect themes of disillusionment with modern life and a desire for simplicity. The music video, directed by Grant Gee, features Thom Yorke in a diving helmet filling with water, symbolizing the suffocating feeling described in the song.
