This song's like bohemian rhapsody, like it's telling an entire story in different acts, it's so theatrical. It's like a play.

Never in my life have i heard the term ' chicken voices' sung so beautifully

"The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million years, they were the worst, too. The third ten million years, I didn't enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of a decline." - Marvin, the Paranoid Android

the "rain down" part is one of the best things that happened to me

I didn't like this at first but I can't seem to stop listening to this, it's just great.

This album is prophetic. That's why it's the best album of the 90s.

To me this song paints a picture of what it's like to be in a nightmare. The crazy guitar part at the end of the song sounds so erratic that it reminds me of one of those surreal fever dreams where all sorts of bizarre things are happening and you're overwhelmed with panic.

Perfect song for sitting back, and just making a movie in your head. Incredible

The part with only vocals is just phenomenal...The harmony is amazing..Every time I'm in total ecstasy when I hear it!

After one of my cats died I listened to OK Computer and when the first lyrics to Paranoid Android began I started to burst into tears for the whole duration of the album. Powerful album, I gotta admit.

Them playing this at the finale of their concert was the absolute best moment in any concert I've attended.

Fun fact: In the original album he doesn't sing "God loves his children" twice, but rather he sings: "God loves his children, that's why he kills them, yeah"

the panic, the vomit. god loves his children.

In my top 20 of best songs ever.

This is widely considered one of the greatest songs ever written.

"I may be paranoid, but no android" When I first heard this song I didn't know that was there it just sounded like gibberish

I may be paranoid , but not an android

🎶 Rain down, rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height, from a great height Height Rain down, rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height From a great height That'sit sir, you're leaving The crackle of pigskin 🎶 My favorite part 😍

i love this so much i think is unhealty

If mood swing can tell it emotions through a song. Maybe this is one of them.

Ergo Proxy.

I had no idea what he said in this song. when I sang along to it I mumbled a shit ton

"Kickin, screamin Gucci lil' piggy." We call them Karens now.

This song stopped me in my tracks. I was driving, it came on the radio and I had to pull over and just let it wash over me. Wow...

This song sounds like the cacophony of thoughts inside a person's head , it may seem random at first but somehow it all adds up

These are the songs of my youth...and nothing will ever change that.

My favourite Radiohead song. The guitar in this is just brilliant! An epic track.

So well crafted it still amazes me twenty something years later. It has so many rough and sharp edges , quirky pieces and apparently chaotic lines that it doesn’t make sense it sounds so rounded, balanced, naturally put together... perfect. Like it just emerged, like it exists by universal necessity, when at the same time it’s unrepeatable, an exception that hence couldn’t happen twice in a billion of years. Think how many damn things had to align for this song to exist and be played by all the major stations and music themed Tv channels... it kinda shouldn’t be there, but it does and now it’s way to eternity is unstoppable.

"when i am king, you will be first against the wall" radiohead>______

Psychedelia at its best- I can't even decide what I'm feeling.

radiohead and muse sound very similar and have a very similar theme, i love them both equally

one of the greatest musical creations ever

This reminds me a lot of Radiohead

Watching ergo proxy when an english ending song came up. Didnt recognize the band but i heard the voice before. Then i looked it up and saw it was radiohead. and now this is on repeat constantly :D

Wow, just amazing. I stumbled upon this song randomly. I love it so much already. It's like if Muse and Queen combined. I have a feeling there will be some RadioHead in my future.

this song explains alot about society. and the fact that in the video they posted the michael jackson looking guy cared more about the main character than the authorities or the main character's friend is just too accurate.

An interpretation I read: The first part of the song "Please could you..." to "What's that..." resembles the paranoid person (not hard to interpret giving the first couple lines). The second part "Ambition makes you look pretty ugly" to "I guess he does" is the paranoids person's antagonist (someone who always speaks his mind and brings down the paranoid person). And the rest of the song resembles the android. Take a look at the video with this in mind.

I think the song ilustrates what is to live whith anxiety the first days it appears

The Bass Line is the king.

Rediscovered this song watching Ergo Proxy for the first time, I was shocked to hear this as an end theme song for an anime, but damn, it really fits the show.

The "rain down" part always gets me! Excellently performed by Thom York

3:35 Makes me feel sad and happy at the same time.

I recently made a list of the top 500 songs of all time. This song was #1. Here's my description from Rate Your Music: "If you've looked through this list, my choice for the number one song ever probably won't surprise you. Of all the songs I've heard in my life, none of them (not even Radiohead's other songs) can send me to the place this song does. "Paranoid Android" is the pinnacle of all songs. It's the perfect blend of beauty, anger, confusion, wonder, irony, transcendence, human tragedy and hopelessness, and ultimate "fuck all of you assholes" spiritual awakening! It truly sends an open mind through the universe of human emotions. Somehow, Radiohead gives dystopia a rare view that's equally beautiful and terrifying. The first two minutes are the most beautiful two minutes I've ever heard. I'm not lying when I say that I can't listen to it without choking up. I've played the song hundreds of times, and it fills my senses and emotions every time. After the blissed out two minutes, the song takes a mood swing and the new direction shows off the talents of every band member with the amazing Philip Selway leading the way with his stellar percussion talents. While Thom spits lyrics about more assholes (or squealing Gucci little piggies, as he likes to call them) the new direction is suddenly interrupted with Johnny Greenwood's chainsaw electric guitar attack, and with Thom screaming "Why don't you remember my name?", the boys stay in their nearly perfect "acid rock" detour for just long enough before you're dropped into the abyss. The next minute and a half is a totally different "suite" that bathes in the healing power of falling rain, and it feels like an awakening of sorts even as it slips back into hell as Thom slurs "The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit, god loves his children, god loves his children, yeah!" And then another attack by Johnny that leads into one of the strangest, most creative guitar solos ever, before the whole thing abruptly stops. Tell me this song is like "Bohemian Rhapsody" one more time, and I might panic and vomit! It's the ultimate journey through every feeling felt and not felt by humans. A masterpiece of masterpieces. And there you have it. I said it. Let it be known. Ha!"

moja pierwsza fascynacja radiohead. Prawie o niej zapomniałam. Słodkie zanurzenie w strumieniu przeszłości

This make my depression got another depression

"When I am king you'll be the first against the wall" This song definitely takes you on a trip!

Still listen to this in 2024... but THIS particular song? I can't hear without thinking of Ergo Proxy.

I just heard this in Ergo Proxy credits

This is one of the most underrated songs of all time. Just listen to it. Its amazing.

"When I was king you will be first against the wall" This is my favourite part

Just knowing this song when watching anime Ergo Proxy, damn..so right theme with that anime..

lol the people here that are like 'its about a nightmare' 'its about a movie' nah fam its about the revolution

the 90's was the last best generation

this sounds more like Muse than Muse does

MUSIC IS AMAZING. THIS BAND IS HISTORY OF MUSIC!

I know exactly what you mean. I am 66 yrs old and radiohead is my favorite group hands down.

Love this song especially 3:35-5:35... :) tied as my fave Radiohead song with Karma Police... :)

To all the folks comparing this to Muse ... Radiohead doesn't need beautiful, naked women in a video to make it a great song. This is up there with anything Floyd or the Beatles did!

A masterpiece, the likes of which are seldom heard or appreciated for that matter

This song is amazing, my sister tells me that Radiohead is depressing. But to me it feels like something that I can relate too. This song expresses my true insides. I love how this song has three parts like the first one which is nice, second part which is hard like rock and especially the last parts. Amazing song! OK Computer and The Bends are really great albums.

Paranoid iOS

"God loves his children, That's why he kills them yeah!" -Radiohead 1997

Im here because of Rick Beato. Wow. I've never listened to anything by radio head, i love it!

Dont mind me. Just getting my daily dose of paranoid android. 🤖

I played Detroit Become Human and now this is stuck in my head

My favorite radiohead song and one of my favorite songs of all time.

I love this song, its my favorite along with jigsaw falling into place

2020 the days of social isolation anyone?

I seriously really love this song so much, RadioHead is amazing.

I listened to this song a lot but never really listened to the lyrics. even i dint listen to it this song gives me goosebumps every time. now with the lyrics its more breathtaking i love this song!

Ergo Proxy brought me here. Just now starting the show after nearly 17 years, it has such 2000s energy to it

one of the best album ever

I am proud to go to the same school as all the members did of radiohead and to live in the same town as they grew up in, Radiohead forever!

this, no suprises, exit music, karma police, creep, all the high lights of this album and really although with each coming album fluctuating its sound and rythem its debatible based upon the listeners overall preference in sound of music to decide their personal favorite radio head songs but id hav to go out and say this is their best album.

I gotta say, this song is freaking awesome!

what a shame kids will never undersrand a song like this anymore.

There are some bands that have just that one song that can make them famous forever. This song alone could make radiohead forever memorable, but they got an entire album full of 1 in a million songs. It is my honest opinion that ok computer is the best rock album of all time

Honestly I perceived this song to be in the mind of someone with schizophrenia

When I am king, you will be first against the wall

People mostly consider Unchained Melody as the pinnacle of male vocals. Now there is Radiohead. This song gets me all twisted up trying to sing it. Gotta binge it

Marvin, the Paranoid Android.

3:35 if you know, you know Also, any Ergo Proxy fans here 8)

el ending de ergo proxy *-*. realmente la canción me eriza

This song is the best mushroom trip I've ever taken.

I agree this really is a masterpiece.

Only a fan of a select few bands like Pink Floyd, Mars Volta and prog rock bands. Never listened to this band. This is good shit.

Omg I'm listening a lot this masterpeace, so good...

Aww when RADIOHEAD was hmmm Radiohead and had soul and guitars. To this day l think this still is the most timeless album ever made, it sounds new today. Shame some of my favorite bands have become so blah, Radiohead, the flaming lips... l miss who you were. You know.. rhythm, it's like they forgot about that.

This song has aged quite well.

I didn't like this at first but now i can't stop listen to this

By far my favorite Radio Head's song...Thom Yorke is GREAT.

best song in the shower

The agent of death

i remember seeing this video when i was 8 and it really turned my stomach because i have such a phobia of shit like that and it stayed with me to where ive been looking for it i havent seen it since than until now. its animated but yet it still has that power too hit you . Im not saying this in a bad way i like it and the whole message.

Radiohead 1 of the best bands of all time . And the lyrics and videos to their songs spark more debate than any other band I have seen .

my good taste on music brought me here

If I had a time machine I would go forward in time and bring Radiohead music with me

I listened to this music for the first time in a Ergo Proxy episode ❤️

Guys, music is however you interpret it. That's one of the most rewarding things of being an artist.. People can see your work differently when you may have meant the total opposite, and that's what gives art its depth. That's why I like reading comments. Everyone is saying Asya Kirgiz is "wrong" but he's not. He interprets the music in a different way, and if you can also see it from his point of view... Well, you're just a well rounded person.

This band knows the path to your subconscious. Brilliant shit! To keep the $ coming in, they could put out a radio hit at anytime.
