Writing
"Analyse" was inspired by a blackout in Yorke's hometown of Oxford. Yorke said:
I used to live in central Oxford, on one of those historical streets, with all these houses built in the 1860s. I came home one night and for some reason, the street had a power cut. The houses were all dark, with candlelight in the windows, which is obviously how it would have been when they were built. It was beautiful.[3]
Release
"Analyse" features in the closing credits of Christopher Nolan's 2006 film The Prestige.[4] A remix was released by Various Production, which Yorke described on the Radiohead blog as "a deranged twist".[5]
