The story behind the song

"Let Down" is a song from Radiohead's acclaimed 1997 album, OK Computer. It features multilayered arpeggiated guitars and electric piano, with Jonny Greenwood's guitar part played in a different time signature to create a phasing effect. The lyrics were inspired by a sense of emotional disconnection. The band recorded the song at 3 AM in the ballroom of St Catherine's Court in Bath, Somerset, with producer Nigel Godrich.
