Today May 26 is the 22nd anniversary of the release of "Paranoid Android", as the lead single from "Ok Computer".
'Paranoid Android' was pieced together from three different song fragments during rehearsals and sessions for OK Computer in early 1996. The band took inspiration for this patchwork approach from John Lennon's 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' (the band has often cited The Beatles White Album as an inspiration on their work). The band also mentioned the Pixies and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen as reference points.
-Ed: "Well, when we wrote it, one of the references was Bohemian Rhapsody But the other was the Pixies." -Jonny: "It's not actually complex enough to be Bohemain Rhapsody, there's only really two different bits there. Plus it's way too tense." .
-Ed: "It's not a Bohemain Rhapsody for the Nineties, it's just a handy reference point. It's like Creep was meant to sound like Scott Walker... It just didn't come out that way. But Paranoid Android is the song we play to people when they want to know what the album is like, 'cos it should make them think, "What the Fuck's going to happen on the rest of the album?" .
-Thom: "We had really good fun doing this song, so the video should make you laugh (using the animator Magnus Carlsson and the Robin character). I mean, it should be sick, too. The whole thing about the lyrics is that they're very twisted, but, because of the way we played it, it permitted me to write something I wouldn't normally write: humor.".
-Ed: "We did most of the working out of the song in rehearsal. We spent a lot of time rehearsing. We basically had three and a half songs and we wanted to put the into one song. We did a condensed six and a half minute version it and… You know, it's basically really three parts. Part one is basically verse-chorus-verse-chorus. Part two is a kind of a… It's 'Gucci little piggies'. And part three is the 'rain down' section."

Today, three years ago Radiohead released "Daydreaming", one of the most emotional, strong and beautiful songs of "A moon shaped pool". ❤ I cannot help but cry every time I hear it, it's absolutely perfect! It is heartbreakingly beautiful. A song that meant a lot to Thom and that showed in some way the process that had to cross the whole band during AMSP. And a video as beautiful as its lyrics and melody, beautifully directed by the great Paul Thomas Anderson. Three years... I'm so happy to have heard this song live... ❤ And WE ARE JUST HAPPY TO SERVE YOU, @radiohead.

What a gorgeous guitar! I’m so happy to have it in my home for at least a few weeks.

Radiohead performing Creep live in Germany 1994When asked about the song in 1993, lead singer Thom Yorke said, "I have a real problem being a man in the '90s… Any man with any sensitivity or conscience toward the opposite sex would have a problem. To actually assert yourself in a masculine way without looking like you're in a hard-rock band is a very difficult thing to do… It comes back to the music we write, which is not effeminate, but it's not brutal in its arrogance. It is one of the things I'm always trying: To assert a sexual persona and on the other hand trying desperately to negate it."
