| You guys are on fucking drugs... It's just a love song, it's pretty self-explanatory, really... Just imagine someone that you've loved for a long time saying all of this to you. | |

| this song is just beautiful, yorke just recorded it while slightly drunk at home on his piano (the noises in the background are his girlfriend putting shopping away) he took it into the recording studio and they just loved it so much they put the original straight on one of the singles (no surprises) you can see why, simply amazing | |

| ok i think i got confused keeping track of all these selves, or is it selfs, anyhow... stay on, sit down, let it fall... is neither the present(now former) nor the former it is the new self that is constantly being created | |

| at first i thought it was a piss take but i think i take him at his word i was stronger better' makes me think Thom's telling us at first he tried to be more genuine than other of his ilk; but now he sees hes just like the rest of us therefor he made his millions just like musicians; he tried to be more valued and high minded but now he reliazes its not true, at least for him and hes still slightly ashamed to admit it 'no don't yell out-nevermind' he trying to accept it 'let it fall let it fall' | |

| i think it's about no self esteem. how you just get emotionally weak and your significant other wants you to be stronger. how you hide feelings inside and just let things fall. it's kinda like "im so sad i dont care anymore" type of feeling.. whatever i love this song | |

| This song is really beautiful in its simplisticity. I believe the background noise is his wife doing the washing up, or at least part of the noise. | |
