We conclude our season long analysis of Radiohead's In Rainbows with its final track "Videotape." We reveal the "secret rhythm" of the piano, give a step by step explanation of the stuttering percussion, and discuss the touching lyrics written from the perspective of a man saying a final goodbye before he dies. Finally, we take a look a Goethe's Faust as a possible reference point for the song and album before sharing some key takeaways from In Rainbows as a whole.

We continue our dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows with its penultimate track "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" - a song about looking for romantic connection at a bar. Among the many things discussed is the song's odd guitar tuning, chiastic structure, and a potentially very ominous hidden narrative.

Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with an analysis of "House of Cards" - an immersive, reverb-soaked musing on the nature of desire and escape. We'll also cover the musical oddities in the track, including Jonny Greenwood's infamous "coin trick" on guitar and even the rumored dog barks in the background of the verses.

Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with an analysis of "Reckoner" - the song Thom Yorke described as the thematic center of the album, the point that everything leads to and then recedes from. We'll dissect just exactly what he means by that as well as the song's incredible rhythm section and deeply moving lyrics about the human experience.

Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with an analysis of its title and how its themes have appeared in every song thus far. Then we examine the album's sixth track "Faust Arp" - a unique song that features two acoustic guitars, strings, and Thom Yorke's cryptic, impressionistic lyrics.

Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with its fifth track "All I Need" - a song that expresses the concept of limerence or the unrequited obsession passion for someone. Musically, we explore the concepts of rhythmic dissonance, terminally climactic song form, and tone clusters.
