We continue our dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows with its penultimate track "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" - a song about looking for romantic connection at a bar. Among the many things discussed is the song's odd guitar tuning, chiastic structure, and a potentially very ominous hidden narrative.
