'Let Down' is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, which was composed by the band members Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood, and Phil Selway. The song was released on their third studio album, 'OK Computer', on June 16, 1997. 'Let Down' is a slow-paced, melancholic song that features a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, and drums. The song is divided into three distinct sections, each with its own unique melody and mood. The first section features a gentle, finger-picked guitar riff, while the second section is more upbeat and features a driving drum beat and a soaring guitar solo. The final section returns to the melancholic mood of the opening, with Yorke's vocals becoming more prominent and emotional. The lyrics of 'Let Down' are introspective and contemplative, with Yorke singing about feeling disillusioned and disconnected from the world around him. The song's title refers to the feeling of disappointment that comes from realizing that something or someone you once believed in has let you down. The lyrics also touch on themes of consumerism, technology, and the loss of human connection in the modern world. 'Let Down' has become one of Radiohead's most beloved songs, with many fans and critics considering it to be one of the highlights of 'OK Computer'. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including John Mayer, The Killers, and Amanda Palmer.
