About This Track
This track was recorded in the ballroom of actress Jane Seymour’s mansion at 3 A.M. It closes with computerized sounds created by ZX Spectrum computers, which all the members of Radiohead owned in the 1980s. Jonny explains what it’s all about: “It’s like when Andy Warhol said he enjoyed being bored. It’s about that feeling that you get when you’re not in control of it – you just go past thousands of places and thousands of people and you’re completely removed from it.”
Thom: “I was pissed in a club, and I suddenly had the funniest thought I’d had for ages – what if all the people who were drinking were hanging from the bottles… if the bottles were hung from the ceiling with string, and the floor caved in, and the only thing that kept everyone up was the bottles? It’s also about an enormous fear of being trapped.”

love reading about the tracks. amazing the amount of background you can have in one song, helps composing the rest of the atmosphere while you listen

It's crazy how much power this song still has on me. I'm back in the darkest time of my life and being forced to relive those memories in my head. And I fight. I fight. Hard. But I just fall into that dark well again because my belief undoes my disbelief.
