Reckoner
You can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all you
All human beings
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
(In rainbows)
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
(In rainbows)
Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all you
All human beings

| VV | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 08:36 I always wondered what inspired this haunting song. I feel like I should be staring at Munch's "The Scream" painting while listening to this song. |

Took the gloom off a too-long Tuesday afternoon. And two years later, a gloomy Thursday post-Sandy afternoon. |

| ozzie1313 | Posted: Nov 19, 2011 - 10:20 I've been waxing on about some of the old groups I saw relatively early on and loved. But I rarely listened to old stuff, don't want to lice in the past. Thanks to awesome groups like Radiohead I do not have to. |

Hey, Romeo new boy, you are such a touchy twat. Fact is, most people here just put up with your inane repetative comments and 'standout' green text and anyone who dares to say anything against you gets a tirade of childish abuse. The sooner someone cuts off the WiFi to your hotel room the better. |
| netskink (Durham, NC) | Posted: Oct 26, 2011 - 08:04 I thought it was a different band, massive attack maybe. Layered sound perhaps. |
| zurcronium (Kobe) | Posted: Oct 18, 2011 - 20:14 ABB and Radiohead, only here. Two of my favorite bands! |

| GuiltyFeat (Ra'anana) | Posted: Feb 16, 2011 - 06:00 I think I wrote this already. If you asked me I would tell you that I don't really "get" Radiohead, not since 'The Bends'. And yet this track is absolutely gorgeous. |

However, after really enjoying In Rainbows with my wife (who deserves all the credit for turning me on to a lot of great music over the years) and taking the time to really let the glory that is Radiohead soak in, I'm officially a convert! wives who love RH are the best sort of wives! |
