Some interesting responses, I suppose they're valid.
As a video, I guess you could say it was pretty simplistic. You could argue that the camerawork was simplistic. Maybe there was a point to that. I mean, the guitar parts are. Lyrically, Thom Doesn't beat around the bush.
Additionally, it's honest. Maybe that's why. Yknow? This guy is an established director. He had something in mind. The whole reason he didn't explain it was interpretation, or what we could do with it. It works for me for the above reasons, maybe you haven't found your meaning yet!
Plus, this really is one of your least favourites on the album? I guess that's a little surprising to me at least. I've been waiting for an album version of this song for a long time!! _________________ http://sunflowerlesbean.tumblr.com

To be honest, maybe I haven't warmed up for it yet.
Interesting thing about Radiohead is that while they are my favourite band in the last 30 years, it really takes me awhile to get into their albums. And by saying that I don't mean that I have to listen to an album about 20-30 times because I need to that for every album by every artist. The difference with Radiohead is that I don't feel that need to listen to it for the first 10-15 times, so it takes a couple of months for the new songs to "click" with me.

When I met my wife, I found out that she had bought "In Rainbows" but only listened to it once. "Oh yeah, that doesn't work. Go put it on repeat play and it will be one of your favorite albums." Sure enough, that's what happened.
King of Limbs didn't click for either of us until we saw the BBC King of Limbs:From The Basement.
