So I cut up another movie and slapped a song over it. I was watching Zodiac recently and Radiohead's Climbing Up The Walls popped into my head, and I felt like it would fit. Both the song and the movie have this slow-burn intensity, a sense of dread and impending doom. This song totally should have been used in the movie somehow. I know it's a period piece, but maybe the song could have been played over the end credits or something. But then again, that's why David Fincher is a famous film director and I am not. S'all good. Check out the Climbing Up The Walls lyrics (which I grabbed from the excellent Radiohead fansite, followmearound.com) and video below.
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die
And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Put the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling
That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
