No Surprises

Hidden beneath a childlike glockenspiel melody and acoustic strumming, 'No Surprises' is a harrowing commentary on crushing suburban conformity and suicidal ideation. The track represents the first take recorded during the 'OK Computer' sessions, capturing a distinct atmosphere of quiet exhaustion. Its famous music video, featuring Thom Yorke singing while submerged inside an expanding diving helmet, starkly underscores the song's themes of suffocation.
