He also plays piano, organ, viola, synths, Glockenspiel, harmonica and the Ondes Martenot, among a host of other devices used to enhance the soundscape of many Radiohead songs.
Years active: since 1985.
He also uses modular synthesizers, a Korg Kaoss Pad, and a laptop (for voice clips/modulation) on newer tracks. Jonny also uses a Rhodes Seventy Three piano, a prominent feature during the OK Computer era. Jonny is one of the most prominent users of the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic musical instrument with a keyboard and slide. He uses Ondes Martenot on the soundtrack to the film Bodysong, as well as in Radiohead, and mainly around the Kid A / Amnesiac era, on songs such as 'Pyramid Song' and 'How to Disappear Completely'.
Apart from his work with Radiohead, Greenwood is also a composer, and has produced several classical works, some inspired by Polish composer Penderecki, as part of his tenure as the BBC's composer-in-residence. He also composed the soundtracks to the films Bodysong (2003), There Will Be Blood (2007) and Norwegian Wood (2010). Some of his more recent scores include We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and a return to working with director Paul Thomas Anderson, in his latest film The Master (2012).

Jonny Greenwood Lyrics
Will somebody wear me to the fair?
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
Will a child find me by a stream?
Kiss my petals and weave me through a dream.
For all of these simple things and much more a flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy faith and hope to people forlorn
Inside every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within he finds beauty and power
Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
Will a child find me by a stream?
Kiss my petals and weave me through a dream.
For all of these simple things and much more a flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy faith and hope to people forlorn
Inside every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within he finds beauty and power
Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born

Lyrics:
It holds us like a phantom
The touch is like a breeze
It shines its understanding
See the moon smiling
Open on all channels
And ready to receive
‘Cause we're not at the mercy
Of your shimmers or spells
Your shimmers or spells
We are of the earth
To her we do return
And the future is inside us
It's not somewhere else
It's not somewhere else
It's not somewhere else
One day at a time
One day at a time
We call upon the people
Only people have this power
The numbers don't decide
Your system is a lie
A river running dry
The wings of a butterfly
And you may pour us away like soup
Like we're pretty broken flowers
But we'll take back what is ours
We’ll take back what is ours
One day at a time
Probably

the things I love from this video:
- the audio
- those trees
- the bpm of this version (it's slower)
- "hit me" 0:23
- Jonny changing the pattern 3:42
- Jonny increasing the intensity (like the strings in the studio version) 4:28
- Thom's 6th string noise 4:59
- the dolly getting closer to Thom and Jonny at 5:34
- "probably" 5:42
@champnessjack1154
The diffuse light through Thom's sunglasses fits so perfectly with
It holds us like a phantom
The touch is like a breeze
It shines its understanding
See the moon smiling
Ephemeral, beautiful, almost silent but also everywhere, the quiet, glorious light.
Ok, so this one's gotten under my skin.
@KarunaSatoriASMR
