Interesting facts and trivia about The Daily Mail. By Songfacts®.

This was released as a double a-sided single on December 19, 2011 along with "Staircase." Both previously unreleased songs were taken from Radiohead's The King of Limbs - From the Basement concert which was aired online and on a number of channels internationally, but not in the UK. It was later released as a live video album on the same day as the single release.

The song features a brass section arranged by Radiohead multi-instrumentalist Jonny Greenwood. As well as penning the soundtracks for such films as There Will Be Blood and Norwegian Wood, Greenwood also serves as "composer-in-residence" for the BBC Concert Orchestra.

In an interview on BBC Radio 1, guitarist Ed O'Brien explained that this song had been "kicking around for at least six years." When Radiohead decided to perform it for the Live From the Basement concert, a final arrangement "came together within a week."
