"Just" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, included on their second album, The Bends (1995). It features an angular guitar riff played by Jonny Greenwood, inspired by the band Magazine. It was released as a single on 21 August 1995 and reached number 19 on the UK singles chart. In 2008, "Just" was included in Radiohead: The Best Of. The English producer Mark Ronson released a cover version on his 2008 album Version.

Recording

Much of "Just" was written by Radiohead's lead guitarist, Jonny Greenwood. According to the singer, Thom Yorke, Greenwood "was trying to get as many chords as he could into a song".[6] Greenwood's angular guitar riff was influenced by John McGeoch's playing on the 1978 Magazine song "Shot by Both Sides"; Greenwood said that it was "pretty much the same kind of idea".[7] "Just" was produced by John Leckie, who had also produced "Shot by Both Sides".[8]

"Just" was the first song Radiohead finished while working on their second album, The Bends (1995), at RAK Studios.[9] According to the guitarist Ed O'Brien, earlier versions were about seven minutes long.[8] Yorke said it was the most exciting thing Radiohead had recorded up to that point.[8]

Music

"Just" begins with a strummed guitar, which the critic Mac Randall likened to the 1991 Nirvana song "Smells Like Teen Spirit".[8] Greenwood plays octatonic scales that extend over four octaves.[10] In the solo, he uses a DigiTech Whammy pedal to pitch-shift his guitar into a high, piercing frequency.[8][9] The lyrics describe someone in a bad relationship, with a "malicious" vocal vibrato from Yorke.[8] The Guardian placed the song between grunge and Britpop.[11]

Music video

The "Just" music video was directed by Jamie Thraves, who adapted it from an idea he had for a short film. It took two days to shoot. The street scenes were filmed on Liverpool Street, London; the scenes of the band were filmed on a set.[12]

In the video, a man lies in the middle of the pavement, attracting attention from passersby. The members of Radiohead watch from an apartment above. The man's conversation with passersby is displayed in subtitles; they ask why he is lying down, but he refuses to explain. Eventually, the man explains, but his explanation is not subtitled. The bystanders lie down next to him.[12]

Reception

In 2007, NME named "Just" the 34th-greatest "indie anthem".[13] In 2017, NME named the guitar solo one of the greatest of all time.[14] In 2020, the Guardian named it the 32nd-greatest Radiohead song, writing: "Hailstorm distortion meets perky hooks, wily vocals and ... an absurd pageant of guitar chords. The chorus flips the grunge ethos on its head, swapping self-loathing for theatrical vitriol."[11]
