Reckoner
Reckoner
Can you take it with you
Disavow the pleasure
You were not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak his name
Did I cater to all you
All your needs?
Because we separate
it ripples our reflections
Because we separate
it ripples our reflections
Reckoner
Did I cater to all you
All your needs?
—from "Reckoner" on Radiohead’s new album In Rainbows … there’s something sublime about this song.
In Rainbows is Radiohead’s first album since their contractual obligations to corporate personhood expired. They released it online, allowing listeners to pay what they want to for it, even nothing.
Now, to go clean out the gutters.

These are very inspiring
These are very inspiring lyrics and appropriate to a situation I am going through right now. I am going to post them to my group website as the lyrics definitely capture the spirit of what my group is trying to do. The music with the lyrics just moves a listener along towards doing more than just sitting down that’s for sure. I know the Reckoner could be so many things. Pondering on. Thanks! :)
