  1. YES! As per usual this is going to be an absolute masterpiece of in-depth analysis on one of the greatest songs ever written! Thanks David! You Rock! And thanks for being in our video too!

    1. Thanks Warren! It was a real pleasure to work with you! Let’s do it again!

    2. @@DavidBennettPiano Yes! Let’s! So much fun, thank you ever so much

  2. DBP & Radiohead, a love story that will be told through the ages :p

    Love all your breakdowns!

  3. Hell yeah, knew what it would be from the video title. Diving in now, can already tell it’s a fantastic video!!

  4. I have always compared Paranoid Android to The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations”. It is truly a pocket symphony and my favorite song from the band. Awesome video.

    1. @@arcynic5404 I agree, it definitely goes through a similar structure, but I would counter it by saying it’s more like ‘Heroes & Villains’ 😊

  5. I knew this song was weird, from a theory perspective, but didn’t know HOW weird. Thanks David for the awesome explanation as always!! That Gm/Am move on the first part, and the mirrored move of Cm/Dm in the third part… crazy unintuitive but so beautiful!

  6. This is why I love Radiohead so much. This song is so complicated and intricate, yet whenever you listen to it, you can’t help but feel relaxed and calm (in all the sections!). They are the greatest composers in the world, no doubt.

  7. Great video! Learning the theory behind a song makes it much more manageable to learn how to play…and this one’s been on my list for a while. Thanks!! 😁😁

  8. Such a musical masterpiece. At least, I can safely say that I once saw Radiohead live. When Thom started singing “rain down” , by then, it was literally raining down on us. A day that I’d never forget. Thanks, David!

  9. David: if Paul and Ringo ever cover “Paranoid Android”, would your head just explode?

  10. Awesome, wow, great choice, and thanks for playing the instrumentals in the background, too.

  11. A great analysis! I love your focus on chord progressions. I feel that I’m a bit weak when it comes to those stuff, so your videos really help.

    Have you ever considered making videos about the arrangements of more classical music? Like the fugue, requiem, sonata, symphony, and string quartet?

  12. Whenever I look at a Radiohead chord progression I come to the conclusion that Jonny at least must be a massive figured bass nerd

  13. I really enjoyed this video, David! This song really is Radiohead’s greatest work

  14. Paranoid android is definitely my favorite Radiohead songs, and on and my most favorite songs in general. Thank you for analyzing it!

  15. These videos centered on ONE song are my favourite. You learn much more from these than the others. Well done.
