I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Fall off the table
And get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
From voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband goodnight
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Fall off the table
And get swept under
Denial, denial
Denial, denial
''(Your ears should be burning)''
Denial, denial

Radiohead is such utter garbage.
Hey kids: the Emperor is not wearing clothes. It's OK to say they suck.

Such an ethereal vibe to this song! Long live Radiohead!

And there are some of us that listen to RP like it was an awesomely curated radio station. I just listen to what they play next. I may have used the skip button once in the past few years.

William also plays a lot of Paul Simon. I respect the talent PS has, but, for some reason I am not a fan. I just skip those, or sometimes I listen and try to get a better feeling as to what I'm missing.
This is the second Radiohead song in six hours. I don't get why we hear them every single day. Every day we hear a Radiohead song, and on some days, like today, we hear more than one. Can we please have a break? I love Bill and Rebecca, but the way the station latches onto artists like this and plays them all the time makes the station hard to listen to at times.

i love this.
i can hear hints of Nick Drake.
One of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever composed. I do hope they tour again in 2024.
Very nice to hear this track pop up again in the rotation recently, been a while.

What a pleasure to hear this tune again after so many years. I loved so many tracks on this amazing record when it came out. This one such a beautiful and soothing track. At least that's how I hear it. I just don't get the Radiohead hate. And I'm really glad that I don't.

Cool percussion and some sneaky deep bass also - giving the subwoofer a workout!
There is distortion in the mix, and being Radiohead, I'm guessing it's intentional. I do wish it wasn't there, but still think this is just an excellent song.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan RH, however, this group is like some jazz acts.
So many layers in the mix (timing, timbre, rhythms) that take you places while listening in a comfortable place. Since I listen a lot at work, it is not the place to go deep into 'listening land'. :-)

This is certainly light years better than that whiny "This Mess We're In" song with P. J. Harvey.

Reminded of this story of a couple of years ago:
Live concert started with rather experimental music, but hey.. it's Radiohead, right? So the audience was really excited to hear the "new tunes" and as the first notes drifted away gave the band a standing ovation.
Turned out not to be Radiohead though, but the roadies doing a soundcheck

Nobody is interested in people's hateful opinions on music. That's the point. We aren't talking about "not my favorite Radiohead" comments, but "Radiohead is dogshit" comments. What purpose does it serve? We aren't upset because somebody is hating on Radiohead, but because they are hating on music. People are free to say what they want, you say. Okay, here's what I'm going to say. Your point is empty and encouraging negativity. Sometimes people need to be told that their hate is not welcome. Your defense of hate is not welcome either.
I love Radiohead, but folks expressing what they think of a song is no reason to get upset. Do you honestly expect every opinion to reflect yours?
In a democratic society, and especially on the internet, you gotta expect people to feel inclined to say what they want.

From my favorite album of the 2000s.
Last chance to Evacuate RP Radio before Radiohead is being recycled.

Would be a better song without the vocals.

certainly not RH's best song, but solid nonetheless!
Vaguely reminiscent of the "Ode to Billy Joe" chord sequence. Well done!

The distorted guitar in this song brings to mind my favorite debate in electrical engineering. Why does a distorted guitar sound so good and why do the old tube amplifier designs do it so well? It's not likely the tube itself since they are really close to ideal amplifiers by themselves. The last article I read about it suggested the old iron-core transformers used to match the high-impedance tube output to the low-impedance speaker was the source.
I'm not sure what Radiohead was using to produce that warm guitar, but if it was synthesized in any way, they sure did a great job of replicating that old tube-amp sound. Anyone out there know what the arrangement was?

Thought provoking photos to go with this pensive tune. Thank you so much for enriching the experience.
Great way to wake up here in London....off my fav RH LP. Must buy a spare copy of the vinyl before they disappear!

my take on this? ho-hum oh well maby the next tune will be worth the electricity...............
Reminds me of a broken and lost love.... 
The fact that my heart cries a little bit now is like a proof of concept for good music.

This album is bittersweet for me - I love this song and the entire album for that matter, but I listened to it way too much while driving home after taking my mom to chemotherapy.
Beautiful!
Also a very good album!

God, I love Radiohead!

Man that sucks. Too bad you can't compartmentalize your feelings for both - there's no reason why some a-hole should ruin the music for another person. I'll never forget having a particularly traumatic experience in my youth while Tom Petty's "Refugee" was playing in the background. Rather than dwell on the pain of the event every time I heard that song, I drew strength from my (modest) recovery. To this day it's one of my favorites.

Well, because this is a music site and the comment is about music —- if you can call Radiohead that.
A lot of Radiohead's stuff (for instance, Go To Sleep, Knives Out, Nude, No Surprises, Reckoner, especially Creep) elicits the same response from me, although I've gotten to the point where I can tolerate this particular track.
So, why don't you and the rest of the Radiohead fans just move on and let those of us who don't buy it have our say? A lot less electrons will be wasted that way.

Haven't heard much Radiohead in my life (well, I haven't been at RP for awhile!) but I like this song. It's spacy, ethereal, and sort of lulling/comforting. I can live with that.

Love the song, but had it turned way down. Thought I heard Beth Orton singing Echo and the Bunnymen's "Sugar Kisses" without the refrain. How bizarre.
Fantastic Tune, check out the live performance of this tune , "In Rainbows From The Basement" , the 720P full video is money if can find it 
Nice but comfortably numbing 
Just Heavenly!

A tip to everyone that is enjoying in rainbows, RH in general or just to all you out there who don't really enjoy them - find and have a look at a live session called "From the basement". I have never seen a recorded live/jam-session as intense and vivid as this one!
All of my music-freak-friend that I have shown "From the basement" to have become as blown away as me, and are now hardcore RH-fans. And this despite the fact that many of them never have understood any of Radioheads geniality before.
Can't be bought, only downloaded as far as I know.
I'm with seekinggrace. There may have been better individual songs over the last year, but In Rainbows is the best complete album I've bought in a long time. Every song is at least a 9, on my scale anyway.

I'm amazed at the low intellectual level of some of the Radiohead fans. When faced with people who think they suck, all they can muster is name-calling. I always thought that Radiohead was just mind-numbing noise - and there's the proof. This song is just one among the pile.

You do searches on a site with SELF assessment tests for assholes? WOW, that explains most of your remarks, and why you like such crap music.

this band make diferent, original and impressive things but always very good job - 8.
Absolutely amazing CD. It's simple yet ingenious song writing. I won't attempt to compare to other Radiohead CDs but In Rainbows is quickly becoming a (not the) favorite amongst devoted fans.

They play this over the loudspeakers at Guantanamo Bay to torment the prisoners. It's absolutely true.

You obviously haven't made the transition, but you seem to know about a site promoting a self ASSessment test for assholes! Go figure!

One of my favorite Radiohead tunes on a CD filled with great tunes.
It's amazing that they were giving this CD away for free on their website.

They're winning, you know.
If you want to see what kind of a rout it is, scroll back through the playlist.
There is no other artist that gets close to the amount of play that Radiohead does here.
And I'm spending way too much time with the mute button on.

You know that thing some kids did when they didn't want to hear something?
Put their hands over their ears and went "LA LA LA LA LA" really loud?
Now that I think about it, it would sound better than Radiohead.
Oddly enough, I'm beginning to like you. . .

Seeing them perform this as the sun set over Grant Park was absolutely sublime.

I'm amazed at the low intellectual level of some of the Radiohead fans. When faced with people who think they suck, all they can muster is name-calling. I always thought that Radiohead was just mind-numbing noise - and there's the proof. This song is just one among the pile.
I enjoyed watching Radiohead perform this in a studio on HDNET(tv)...or something like that.They did the whole album.Thom Yorke puts himself in another world when he sings.

Wish RP had a "zero" rating called "Piece of sh*t" for songs just like this one.

This track is the aural equivalent of watching paint dry.

But I can't forget about my house of cards! I've spent the past 4 decades building it ... oh well who am I to question the wisdom of Thom Yorke?

Radiohead is such utter garbage.
Hey kids: the Emperor is not wearing clothes. It's OK to say they suck.
I had always put the Radiohead hate on RP down to differing tastes but a well presented critique like the one above is hard to argue with.
