}} ''For the American metal band, see Knives Out!. "Knives Out" is a song by English rock band Radiohead. The composition features electric and acoustic guitars, complemented by singer Thom Yorke's vocals. It appears on Radiohead's 2001 album ''Amnesiac'', recorded during the same sessions as the previous album ''Kid A''. It was also released as the second ''Amnesiac'' single, receiving more radio airplay than the band's other songs of the period. The song reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Top 40 Chart Archive )〕 It also topped the Canadian Singles Chart for 4 weeks. ==Recording history== The song was developed during the 18-month ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'' sessions, and is known for having taken 373 days to record.〔(Radiohead Press Cuttings -> Q Magazine - October 2000 - By Danny Eccleston )〕 According to Yorke, "We just lost our nerve. It was so straight-ahead. We thought, 'We've gotta put that in the bin, it's too straight.' We couldn't possibly do anything that straight until we'd gone and been completely arse about face with everything else, in order to feel good about doing something straight like that. It took 373 days to be arse-about-face enough to realise it was alright the way it was." Although "Knives Out" is not similar to Radiohead's earlier rock style as featured on ''The Bends'' (1995), it is usually noted as one of the most traditional guitar pop songs the band has done since 2000. When guitarist Ed O'Brien played "Knives Out" to Johnny Marr (The Smiths), Marr was touched when told that the track was heavily influenced by his former group. The tune's chord progression is also very similar to the one heard in the first part of Radiohead's 1997 single "Paranoid Android." "Knives Out" was later covered by The Flaming Lips, on their 2003 EP, ''Fight Test EP''. The song was also covered by classical pianist Christopher O'Riley on his album ''True Love Waits'', and by jazz pianist/bandleader Brad Mehldau on his album, ''Day is Done'' (2006). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Knives Out」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
