  • P from GarciaThis song is about a struggling married couple and trying sexual parties to spice up their long burned relationship.
    "The infrastructure will collapse
    Voltage spikes
    Throw your keys in the bowl
    Kiss your husband goodnight"

    The institution of marriage collapses on swingers parties.
    A way to sort out couples at swinger parties is to each couple so throw a set of keys in the bowl. The bowls go around the round and each man picks a set of keys, whichever key set you get that the woman you will be leaving that night with.

    Masterpiece.
  • Brad from Kansas City, KsMusic Video is not entire song
  • David from Louisville, KyJust sends you. It's one of their best. I thought OK Computer was great but In Rainbows is even better.
  • Tom from Dallas, TxI still think In Rainbows in one of the greastest albums of the last 30 years.
  • Quentin from Sudbury, OnThe musical element of the song, to me, seems to have a tone of progression.
  • Matt from Salisbury, Mdi saw them live and this song was by far one of the best songs they played its really magical
  • Ben from Minas Tirith, Mothis song sounds similar to the Coldplay style, but i think Radiohead just blows it out of the water.
