Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Now that the hype of In Rainbows has simmered a bit, I'd like to pay respects to one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. What's your take on the meaning of this song? Is it a love song?

I'd be crazy not to followFollow where you leadYour eyesThey turn me Turn me on to phantomsI follow to the edge of the earthAnd fall offEverybody leavesIf they get the chanceAnd this is my chance I get eaten by the wormsWeird fishesPicked over by the wormsWeird fishesWeird fishesWeird fishes I'll hit the bottomHit the bottom and escapeEscape I'll hit the bottomHit the bottom and escapeEscape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out. Well done! I love the sound of the Ondes-Martenot. It's very subtle in the album mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there even Ondes MArtenot in the album version?im going to go have a closer listen,There is Ondes Martenot in Bodysnatchers and Jigsaws for sure, it will be all around the album though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MathiasWilliam Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 I thought I could hear it in the right channel enter around 1:49, but I don't know for sure. I think thats guitar, its not sustained enough to be a Ondes Martenot, but at the part where the guitars cut out and it just breaks out into drums on the ride cymbal, a low sustained noise comes in, i think this could be our dear friend:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drumas funk Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Such a great cd. This song too, this song is actually the first that I've learned off of In Rainbows, but most certainly won't be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 My second favorite is probably "House of Cards." The orchestral guitar is sublime. Thom's falsetto is very reminiscent of Bono. These two songs are the most etheriel since "How To Disappear Completely". Great autumn music.

Members star0nfire Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 I have to go with Reckoner and All I Need as my favourite songs off the album.Videotape would be a close 3rd option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willburford Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 For some reason I don't really care for Videotape. The weird... flapping?... drum thing kind of bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Weird Fishes is my favorite In Rainbows song for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MacBradley Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 This is the hardest song on the album for me to listen too, not cuase its bad, but because I can't wait for "All I Need" to come up. And this is one of my favorties on the album too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't listen to that song because of the out of time drumming at the end. My favorites are Nude, Weird Fishes, All I need and House of Cards.

Members Snowden Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Nude FTW. It's so epic without being anthemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iluvnoise Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 For some reason I don't really care for Videotape. The weird... flapping?... drum thing kind of bugs me. Haha. I actually really like that part of the song. Well, I like a lot of other things about it, too, but that's a cool part. That other weird percussion part towards the end is so random it almost sounds like someone typing slowly (bonus points for Pavement reference). I love this whole album. It's amazing. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is definitely a highlight. I love the slowdown/breakdown part in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here...the end of that is almost my favorite part of the cd.... besides the reverb guitar in nude....LOVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MathiasWilliam Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Currently listening to the CD again, First few weeks didnt really care for 15 step and Faust Arp, After seeing Faust Arp live on the webcast it changed my opinion. the reason i never really listened to 15 step is the singing at the start reminded me of the lion king, but the end of it is so well done. My favourite Radiohead album i have to say:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
