    Song information

"Analyse" was inspired by a blackout in Oxford. Yorke explained:
"Analyse" was played by Yorke at the 2006 Mercury Prize ceremony. The song is also featured during the closing credits of Christopher Nolan's 2006 film The Prestige, starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale.
A remix of this song was done by Various Productions, which Thom Yorke described on the Radiohead blog Dead Air Space as being 'a deranged twist'.
The song is written in the key of F minor for the first two thirds, with the last third modulating to C minor.
