"Go to Sleep" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as the second single from their sixth studio album Hail to the Thief (2003) on 18 August 2003. It reached number two on the Canadian Singles Chart, number nine on the Italian Singles Chart, and number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
The first part of "Go to Sleep" is composed in alternating bars of 4/4 and 12/8.[1] It features a processed "stuttering" guitar sound created by Jonny Greenwood.[2] Radiohead released a live version, recorded in Osaka, for the War Child charity in 2004.[3]
A CGI animated music video was released for "Go to Sleep", directed by Alex Rutterford. It depicts the singer, Thom Yorke, sitting in a park while people in business suits walk by rapidly. The classical buildings spontaneously crumble and reassemble themselves in modern in style.
