"Analyse" is a song by the English musician Thom Yorke from his debut solo album, The Eraser (2006). It was released on 30 October, 2006, as a download and on 6 November as a limited edition 12" single in the United Kingdom.^[1]^[2]

Writing

"Analyse" was inspired by a blackout in Yorke's hometown of Oxford. Yorke said:

I used to live in central Oxford, on one of those historical streets, with all these houses built in the 1860s. I came home one night and for some reason, the street had a power cut. The houses were all dark, with candlelight in the windows, which is obviously how it would have been when they were built. It was beautiful.^[3]

Release

"Analyse" features in the closing credits of Christopher Nolan's 2006 film The Prestige.^[4] A remix was released by Various Production, which Yorke described on the Radiohead blog as "a deranged twist".^[5]
