the_gloaming09 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 So I am doing a project for my senior year, w/ graphic design and music. I am going to be using In Rainbows as one of the albums. I'm having difficultly deciding what song would exemplify the album the best. Make your decision based off of lyrics, mood, feel, texture, etc. Thanks!!!

MrMagpie Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Reckoner...I mean it does have "In Rainbows" hidden in the lyrics at the golden ratio part of the album. :P But seriously I think the song captures the feeling of the album somehow. Combines the way that it was delivered to the fans, the surprise in it not being the Pulled Apart by Horses.... Lyrically it showcases the beauty of the album. Musically it highlights everybodies talents. Great vocals, great drums, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Reckoner Reckokner Reckoner Reckoner Reckoner One of the best songs ever recorded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I chose Jigsaw because it's been one of my favorites lately. The emotion poured into it is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The lyrics in Reckoner are hard to understand, but if you get into them they are quite deep and meaningful. Thom's voice is like the voice of a mournful, wise and harsh angel, singing with depth, grief and beauty a message to human kind. Then the clean electric guitar, with those weird variations of cords during the break, and the epic ending. Those acurately timed drums, with the amazing cymbal solo plus the other percussion stuff that Jonny plays with a lemon. The piano arrangement is gorgeous, and bass is a miracle, it gives it a soft and watery atmosphere to the song; moreover, Jonny's String arrangements are heavenly. The song is emotion in it's purest sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Reckoner, not because its the best track, but because it is most central to the overall sound of the album (like the poll asks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 House of Cards. It just emphasizes all the sounds and general feels of the entire album, IMO anyway. Reckoner will probably win, but really any song from the album would work and be brilliant right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Plastic Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I would say Arpeggi. It has a big in rainbows feel to it. And it's a brilliant song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_gloaming09 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Haha, creepy. pun intended? :P I didn't vote before, but I think that Reckoner definitely exemplifies the album. It's not my favorite, but I think was the song that everyone talked about when the album was released and has a certain feel to it that the rest of the album overall carries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matter-Eater Lad Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 That one song with words totally exemplifies it album. For me it's the Reckoner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
