about this song
Sung from the perspective of paranoid fear itself, “Climbing Up the Walls” takes the English idiomatic expression for utter unpleasant feelings, such as worry and doubt giving the expression a voice. “Climbing Up the Walls” Is one of the first tracks by the band to be described as “scary.” Relying heavily on strings, but not in a conventional way, as the string section, composed by Jonny Greenwood alone, features 16 different violins playing quarter tones apart from one another.
