“The Rip” was a single by Portishead, released in June 2008. It is the second release from the band’s album Third. It was previously called “Mystic”.
The animated promotional video (made by Nick Uff) was first broadcast on May 12, 2008 on the band’s website.
The song has been covered live by Radiohead during soundchecks on their 2008 tour, and Colin Greenwood has recorded a video of Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke covering the song acoustically and was posted on Radiohead’s official website. This was well-received by the band; Adrian Utley remarked that it was “such a buzz”.

@Pokit, agreed! But this song is fabulous as is almost the entire album. Too fond of Dummy and Self titled, I suppose :)

Third doesn't compare with Dummy to be honest, but I do enjoy this song a lot from Third.

As sad and melancholic as the first part of this song is - I always get carried away by the second half. Everything sounds so sore and faint in the beginning, but then, there's a way to move on again. At least that's how it sounds to me... Listen with closed eyes.
