There's something in this song where I lose myself. Another reminder that Radiohead has such a capacity for recreating, redefining and reinventing itself.

To everyone who is saying replace "____" with "____", you can buy the digital tracks and organize them yourself in one album.

Yes, I totally agree, regardless of what feeling they want to achieve in their music, especially since In Rainbows, I can hear complete harmony of sounds. Like hearts of all members of band beating together. Every, even the smallest sound has a meaning and is needed. That's why I love this band more and more, with every next album.

Radiohead do have a natural gift of creating surreal sonic atmospheres in their music that transport the listener of their tracks to their personal and collective mental and musical space of their eclectic group.This track Staircase has a driving melodic bass line ,a pulsating and fluid drumbeat , interesting and sparse diminished minor guitar chords ,and cool ambiguous but also specific lyrics that create a musical soundtrack that is elevating and unique like a descriptive video movie scene .I have a couple of Radiohead cds but I just listen to the group or band on youtube now.
