Radiohead - In Rainbows

This Song Was First Played At The Gorge In George WA On June 23 2001. Reckoner Is Reminiscent Of A Line From The Opening Of Book II From Goethe’s Faust “Life Is Not Light But The Refracted Color.” The Meaning Is That Life Is Not Pure But Mixed Like Rainbows. Radiohead’s Album Title “In Rainbows ” And This Song From Which It Comes Suggest There Are Deals Made And Reckonings To Be Made By The Life We Live. These Deals Mean We Live Multiple Lives Not A Singular Or Pure One. Thus As This Song Says “Because We Separate Like/ripples On A Blank Shore.” That Is To Say We Fragment And In The Fragmentation Make And Are “in Rainbows.” We Are Clothed And Bathed In The Colors Of Life. This Is The Exit Door From The Moral Dilemmas That Would Condemn Us To Hell For The Choices We Make The Inflexible Codes That Demand We Live An Impossibly Pure Life. It Is Redemption And Is Similar To The Redemption Of Faust At The End Of The Story At Least In Goethe’s Version. Interestingly The Song Preceding This One Is Called “Faust Arp.” This Further Leads Listeners To Think This Interpretation Is The Intended One. Mephistopheles Shows Up In “Videotape ” Which Interestingly Enough Is A Song About A Kind Of Redemption. The Album Has The Vague Structure Of The Faust Story.
