"Analyse" was inspired by a blackout in Oxford. Yorke explained:
"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]
"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.[4]
A remix of this song was done by Various Production, which Thom Yorke described on the Radiohead blog Dead Air Space as being 'a deranged twist'.[5]
The song is written in the key of F minor for the first two thirds, with the last third modulating to C minor.
