About This Track
'Reckoner' appeared on Radiohead's 2007 album 'In Rainbows', released as the fourth and final single from the record in September 2008. The track had existed in embryonic form years earlier, debuted under the working title 'Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses' at a show in Washington state in 2001. Thom Yorke described the song as "kind of a love song... Sort of." He identified the line about separation and ripples on a blank shore as the centre of 'In Rainbows', explaining that "everything's leading to that point and then going away from that point." The lyric gave the album its title; the phrase "in rainbows" appears in the song itself. The dedication to "all human beings" frames the track's address as universal rather than intimate, a love song that disperses outward.

Lyrics
Reckoner You can't take it with you Dancing for your pleasure You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractor Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all you All human beings Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore Because we separate (In rainbows) Like ripples on a blank shore (In rainbows) Reckoner Take me with you Dedicated to all you All human beings
