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)''

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.

It would be different if you actually reasoned why a song was inferior. It would be nice if commenters put a little more effort into it.
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.

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

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

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.

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.

Going +1 on this based on the cool sounding percussion on this one.....it's an 8 and up there for me on RH tunes; LLRP!!

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.
Gotta get that "1" vote count up!

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.

one of the best.........Brilliant - I wish they'd tour more.
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!
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.

This is a most amazing headphone experience :)

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.

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

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?

Over the last 50 years I've seen the release of only a handful of truly great albums. Sure, lots of great music, but rarely a truly great ALBUM. Thick As a Brick, side two of Abbey Road, Pet Sounds. Albums that are greater than the sum of their parts.
For me, In Rainbows is quickly climbing into that rare air. Every time I listen to it, I like it more and more. I've never really been captured by anything Radiohead has done before, but this album is amazing. The rhythms that Phil Selway weaves in and out of the music, the guitar and bass magic of the Brothers Greenwood. And Thom Yorke's voice. Not really a great voice, I don't think. But no other voice in the world could so wonderfully meld all of those great songs into a great album.
Thanks, RP, for turning me on to a masterpiece.

this song and the song before it "Reckoner" and after "Jigsaw" on In Rainbows are insanely good.
Thank god for Thom and the boyz.

Amen brother.

I've upgraded this song from a 4 to a 6. But I can honestly say that I don't understand the extremely high ratings for this song. As a songwriter, I find the singing weak, the music monotonous. And I can't really understand what he's saying b/c he mumbles. Can someone please explain the attraction that people have to this particular song? I feel like I'm missing something but I have no idea what it is.

I can feel the Universe expanding when I listen to this song....and I love Thom's voice, I really don't understand where the "weak warbling" comments are coming from....Radiohead just has it all. But to each his own.
Sounds like Radiohead's been listening to (click here)

See you've appointed yourself "epithet slinger" for this tune.
A few of my own --- dickhead, weenie --- raced to mind, but that would be stooping to your level.
Grow up.
Alba ...tross.
Love it. It's not a problem. It's just there. This is a gorgeous track. And so is "Albatross".
albatross by corrosion of conformity? yeah, that's a great track.
