* The last minute of the music video for "Nude", where we see slow-mo shots of the band members reacting to being pelted with pillow feathers (especially Thom and Phil, who are both laughing). Not only is it sweet to see a video where all the band are featured equally (the last before "In Rainbows" was [[SolemnEndingTheme "Street Spirit (Fade Out)"]]), it's also a rare moment of the band being able to break from their 'gloomy, moody, angsty' reputation.

* "Motion Picture Soundtrack" is both [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] and [[SweetDreamsFuel uplifting]], providing a bright light at the end of a very ominous album: ''"I will seeeee yoouuu in the neeeeeext liiiiiiifffeee..."''

* From Thom Yorke's solo work, you have his cover of "All for the Best" by Mark Mulcahy. Mark Mulcahy was a major influence for Thom when he was growing up, and he recorded this cover as part of a project to raise money for Mulcahy after the death of his wife so he that could continue to make music while raising his children.
**To make it even more heartwarming, Thom's younger brother, Andy, provides backing vocals on the song. The two brothers used to listen to Mark Mulcahy's music together as teenagers, and this is the only recording you can find with them both singing together.

** The music video fits perfectly. A CGI stick figure is the sole survivor of a [[WorldWreckingFlood huge flood]] [[AfterTheEnd that wiped out his city and possibly the world]]. He suits up and swims to what seems to be his family's house. He sits down and unplugs the oxygen cord, all in the name of rejoining his loved ones, suggested very bluntly at [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence the ending]].
