coing78's video: The Vocal Range of Thom Yorke E2 - F5 -G 6 Version 2

By the turn of the century, the broad, emotive sweep of Thom Yorke's voice had made him one of the most influential singers of his generation. His high, keening sound, often trembling on the edge of falsetto, was turning up on records by Coldplay, Travis, Muse, Elbow and numerous others. -Rolling Stone Music Voice type: Tenor Low notes: 0:00 Soft and relaxed B2 from "Creep" 0:11 Another B2 from "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" 0:20 B♭2 from "No Surprises" 0:28 A2s from "Bones" 0:36 Sustained A2 from the backing track of "Airbag" 0:52 Thom Singing around C -A2 from "A Wolf At The Door" 1:00 A2s from the low harmonie of "Nice Dream" 1:17 Easy G from the ending of "I Will" 1:43 Lots of B2s and a brief G2 from "Skip Divided" 1:51 Strange G2 from "Creep (Acoustic)" 2:02 Two F from the On A Friday's demo "Rattlesnake In The Big City" 2:15 F3 desending to a F2, and also a brief E2! from "Kid A" 2:29 Soft and great F2 from "Bittersweet" (The Velvet Goldmine soundtrack) 2:39 Lots of F2s from the same song 2:48 Solid G2 followed by a weak E2 (Also falsetto B♭4 and C5) from "Winter Wonderland" 2:59 The classic soft E2 from "Skip Divided" 3:08 Finally, Thom growling E2s from "Skip Divided live at Coachella 2010" High notes: 3:19 Sustained F and a brief G4 from the emotional ending of "Exit Music (For A Film)" 3:29 Soft G4s from "Karma Police" 3:46 Sustained G4 from "Inside My Head (live)" 3:56 Another sustained G4 now from "The Bends" 4:07 Sustained G from "Nude" 4:26 Powerfull G (and also falsetto B♭4) from "2+2=5" 4:44 Flasetto B4 followed by full G from "Maquiladora" 4:56 Effortless A4s from the ending of "Bodysnatchers" 5:06 Great A4 from "Faithless, The Wonder Boy (live)" 5:19 Amazing sustained A4 from "Creep (Live Reading '94)" (I prefer to put this live version because the A4 is sustained for more time than the studio version) 5:52 G4 going up to an A4 from "Sulk" 6:04 B♭4s from "Planet Telex" 6:18 Easy B♭4 from "Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased)" 6:28 Screamed B♭4 from the ending of "Just" 6:38 G followed by a very powerfull B4 from "Inside My Head (live)" 6:52 Sustained B4 from "You" 7:15 Powerfull B4 followed by an A4 from "Stop Whistering (Live at Astoria London)" 7:38 Two B4s from "Climbing up the walls (Glastonbury 2003)" (In the studio version those notes are falsetto) 7:57 Sustained A4 going up to a B4 from "Sulk" 8:18 Solid A4 up to a brief C5 (also falsetto E5) from "Anyone Can Play Guitar (Live at The Forum)" 8:35 Powerfull C5 and lots of B4s from the amazing chorus of the On A Friday's demo "To Be a Brilliant Light" 9:06 Sustained C4 going up to a falsetto C5 from "Paranoid Android" 9:24 Solid A4 and an effortless C5 (also a weak A2) from the On A Friday's demo "I'm Coming up" 9:37 Shouted C5 from "Bodysnatchers (Scotch mist version)" 9:56 Lots of falsetto C (also full G ) from "Electioneering (Early)" 10:17 Flasetto D5 from the chorus of "Bones" 10:41 Powerfull A4 and a strange D5 from "Life with the big F" 10:51 Solid A4 and an effortless D5 from the On A Friday's demo "I'm Coming up" 11:00 Screamed (probably full) E5 from "Life with the big F" 11:11 E5s (also sustained B4) from the ending of "To Be a Brilliant Light" 11:32 Thom singing an A3 going up to a falsetto F5 (before this, he sings a solid A2) from "Drunkk Machine" 12:06 Wonderfull C5 going up to a full F5 (Probably the limit of Yorke's full range) from "Anyone Can Play Guitar (Live at Bristol '95) 12:20 Falsetto F from "Rattlesnake In The Big City" 12:34 Thom losing his mind, screaming B4s, and a falsetto G5 from "Electioneering live at Pinkpop festival '96" 12:56 Falsetto A5 from "I'm Coming up" 13:01 Thom losing his mind.. again, screaming lot of high screams, one of these peaking at B♭5!, from "Anyone can Play Guitar (MTV Beach)" 13:24 Whistle B5 from "The Bends (The Astoria London)" 13:38 Solid falsetto B5 from "Rattlesnake In The Big City" 13:58 Inhaled whistle E6 from "Just" 14:18 Strange whistle going up to a F from "You (Poland 1994)" 14:34 A screamed F6 peaking at G from the On A Friday's demo "I'm Coming up", actually, the most higher note which thom has showcased. 14:48 Finally a demonstration of Yorke's clean falsetto, singing an easy B4.
