The story behind the song

This song originated during the band's tour for their sixth studio album, with a demo recorded soon after. The band wrote it together, drawing influences from acts like Rush and Led Zeppelin. It was the lead single from their 2011 album, Wasting Light, and its music video paid tribute to the claustrophobic recording studio space where the album was made. Playing "Rope" can feel like harnessing a raw, driving energy.
