Piano portion sounds anti-rhythmic at first. It has a pattern, but it is a complex one. This is not a catchy tune that will get whistled by fans of "pop" music.
In a way, it seems the piano and bass are playing the rhythm section and the drums are riffing, filling in, and making some melody. Then -- of course -- there's Yorke. At last, here is the soul and character of the song, the depth of melody and fragile strength. There are parts where the vocal precedes the strings which mimic the vocal, adding to the spooky and ethereal nature of the song.
Climbing the Pyramid. Everything flows together, music and lyrics and vocals, to the point where it all -- inevitably -- softens and merges. "Nothing to fear nothing to doubt" is at the point of the pyramid, where structure meets sky, form meets nothingness, and life ends at a door. Its a door we must all pass through. Eternity awaits you.
