Radiohead - Paranoid Android (odm Utrecht)

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2017
- This was a graduation assignment for my study: music in education at the Utrechts Conservatory. Every student arranged a piece, which started months before the performance. All the Utrecht students from the music in education study joined in the choir and orchestra so I knew what kind of instruments I had to arrange for. I love the wide range of instruments in Paranoid Android and I think the place in the Conservatory was the right building for it with the acoustics. I was inspired by the cover of Noordpool orchestra but also gave it my own twist.
We had a week to rehearse it with the orchestra and choir. Each day about 40 minutes, starting on monday and perform on friday. So I did my best in the time possible. It was a once in a lifetime event for me wich I really enjoyed! Nowadays I’m a choir conductor/arranger and piano teacher. Maybe in the future I can do something like this again, that would be awesome. Thank you for all the great comments!
even the singer looks like thom yorke
awesome
Tammi Yorka
All she needs is a fucked up eye and shed be perfect match
that's when you know
@@caricatureparty LMAO
O
I guess you are blind? And I shan't do jokes in this environment.
I'm a huge fan of this song and Radiohead in general.
This was absolutely incredible.
I would say that Paranoid Android is probably one of the most difficult songs to ever cover but everyone here nailed it
About 20 odd years ago, I had the pleasure of seeing Thom Yorke play this all by himself with an acoustic guitar at the Bridge School Benefit. I honestly didn't think he'd be able to pull it off, but wow was I wrong.
@@bigone5757 There's a video of it that someone captured on RUclips if you're interested in seeing it. Take care, internet friend!
I agree on this being one of the most difficult songs to cover, I've been trying for a while on piano. It's my project to try and get a version of it nailed at some point. You're right though, everyone here made it look so easy, bravo! :)
Be honest. It sucks. This is terrible.
@@charliealden9355 nah man. You might think its bad but I like it, a lot
radiohead is the greatest band of all time for me

You god damn right
yes
I hope that Thom watches this with a massive grin of pride. Great job.
No words...well, except those two. Wonderful.
actually, 8 words
Kawamurae21 What’s the eighth word?
@@TheLostBoy1974 lol i counted 8, my mistake. 7 words XD
Kawamurae21 For a moment I doubted myself and thought that ‘...’ might actually be a word, LOL
3 words
The backing vocals/choir was absolutely amazing!!!!!!
Sublime when the male vocal joined in!
As a song writer it must be the biggest honour to have one of your songs so perfect renditioned like this..
As a songwriter, I thought exactly the same thing. I was very proud to have one of my songs played on Radio one years ago. Wrote it on the toilet then it’s played nationwide on the Zane Lowe show. 🤣.
You haven’t heard the no alarms and no surprises where the conductor plays the violin virtuoso holy shit!
Who wrote these arrangements? They're such a great adaption. I dont hear a single element not represented by some instrument. I would have mixed it a little different maybe less cymbals. Boosted the lead vocal with some more compression she kinda gets drowned out at some points. But everyone has some ways they'd do things differently lol.
Thank you, i wrote it myself. So the conductor is also the writer. We had 1 week to rehearse it, about 40 minutes a day. I did my best in the time possible ;) I didn't mix it though.
@@annepater8298 you are an amazing human being! well played! keep up the good work
The instrumentalisation sure is inspired by the jazz cover of the Nordpool orchestra. I think many parts are exactly the same. Brutal performance and combination with the choir! That's a lot of work :)
@@annepater8298 Lekker!! Great work! Dank u!
@@annepater8298 I would love to listen to other work of yours, this one is stunning
Why doesn't this have more views? Damn, it's good.
It's so good! I was really confused because of the views
because society on this planet is very sick
@@lukaszahradnicek7518 was gonna say people probably just didn’t get it recommended but i mean go off 💀
I wondered the same.
Because this videos isn't for everyone, for that RUclips doesn't recommend it :(
I was going to say how she even looked a little like Thome Yorke but somebody beat me to it. These guys nailed it… love the arrangement. Don’t normally like ‘covers’ but love them, when done well, of Radiohead… (especially arranged for jazz) Shows how brilliant (Radiohead) is and how much talent is out in the world. Kudos to this group!
This cover sucks. Be hon3xt. 😊
Actually stopped halfway thru. Just seemed like going thru the motions. I appreciate the effort but this missed the mark. Singer missed the soul of the song. She’s not a bad singer at all, just doesn’t have the grit it takes to make this song sound the way it should. Too smooth and emotionless.
@@HiFiAwardTour I think the point of this is to show the composition more than anything, having the singer properly emoting would probably be too distracting but yeah in general i agree with you
gosh the slow part at 3:24 is always so beautiful, and just made to be sung by a choir like this. awesome job, I want to show this to my daughters orchestra teacher. get the fourth graders on this right away!
3:24 Me recuerda al coro del Vaticano
4th-graders?? That’s a little young to introduce to the depressed world and life of Thom Yorke...it’s good to talk to kids about mental illnesses and keep them educated, but introducing them to Radiohead that early may keep/take them in some very dark places. You become what (and whom) you listen to. Radiohead definitely keeps me down, during my depressive episodes. (Yet my melancholy personality doesn’t help keep me away from Radiohead, either, haha)

Lyrics (Greenwood/Yorke)
-----------------------
Please could you stop the noise?
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken
Voices in my head
What's that?
(I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that?
(I may be paranoid, but not an android)
When I am king
You will be first against the wall
With your opinion
Which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
What's that?
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember, you don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does
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
Height
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
That's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah
:,)
As a devoted radiohead fan id give this a 10 out of 10, the singing was on point and so was the musical instruments.
Hey can they do Radiohead’s creep for me? Can someone find it if they did it? Who are these people?
i love how “when i am king you will be first against the wall” sounds in this
Incredible! And criminally underrated, how does this have so few views. This is an incredible rendition.
Itgoesitgoesitgoesitgoesitgoes
The percent of people who have the capacity to understand this songs complexity is simply not that big.
OK Computer almost broke up Radiohead because they weren't sure if they top it. When an album is so good that a follow up is almost impossible, then it's one of the greatest albums ever made. This cover of Paranoid Android brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely 💯% incredible 👏
And in my opinion they did top it with In Rainbows. Kid A is a great follow up but there are a few songs on there that I always skip.
@@Wraiven22 I'm new to Radiohead but imo In Rainbows is unskippable. Album is simply perfect.
@@Wraiven22 in my opinion Kid A is their top
Don't forget about electioneering, totally shippable track there. Every album is special in its own way definitely don't find myself listening to computer more than hail to the thief.
The performance by the Utrecht orchestra can compete with the originaliteit. P. A. Is a very difficult with so many different tempus. Radiohead for ever.
Holy fucking shit. Some of the decisions they made are brilliant (the little injections of jazz). This is damn near as heavy as the original.
Well done. Beautiful.
For me this arrangement has only enhanced the power beyond this song. It emphasises the intricacies of the original and the mind blowing uniqueness of Radiohead’s explosive emotional communication. Thank for doing this, awesome.
I love seeing that one guy in the back left of the choir just nodding his head and enjoying this masterpiece
Yes! he looks like this is the best day of his life.
This cover is a masterpiece.
I came across it last year and without a doubt I stop by here every month. The reason why I love this video as much as the real song is undoubtedly the amazing orchestra in the background. I can't imagine this orchestra playing karma police or fake plastic trees.
This orchestra and choir understand the song really profoundly
This is superb, such a difficult track to cover, but this is a mighty arrangement.
What a terrific version. Extremely refreshing. Well done.
Now that was fucking cool. How lucky to have a maestro that is in to radiohead. One of my all time fav albums and bands. Changed my musical direction forever at 12
Never once imagined I would hear a choral/orchestral arrangement of a Radiohead song. Yet here it is. And I loved it, what a great piece of work, you should be proud!
2:44 brilliant drum fill
Thanks :D
long time fan of RH here and been watching hundreds of covers of this on the internet but this one maybe somehow is the best. it's simply brilliant.
Why did it take the algorithim 4 years to recommend this to me? What the fuck, this is awesome!
Moving. This performance was so beautiful. Had to turn the volume up...
Great performance, I love all the effort put into this production, was crazy good.
4:00 the back vocals are incredible
Love Radiohead❤
Love this -
More choirs speaking in Radiohead
Gucci little piggy she nailed it that grit in her voice
I just see more and more covers of Radiohead popping up all the time in different formats and configurations and it just makes me so happy that so many music nerds are into this band and appreciating the brilliance of their music. This was fantastic, thank you!
That coordination was impeccable! Thanks for the delightful cover to everyone involved, especially the singers!
I keep on listening to this through the winter... I'm in love with it! So glad it was posted.
Why this hasn't gone viral is beyond me? It's a masterpiece! That woman's voice alone should have sent it into the viral RUclips universe . Brilliant! Just simply brilliant.
I'm having trouble putting into words just how much I enjoyed that. It was a wonderfully executed arrangement and just pure joy to listen to!
This is really fantastic. Anne, the arranger and conductor, and the whole orchestra should be really proud of themselves. After so little time to rehearse, this was a monumental performance.
I love when a really great, difficult song is covered beautifully! This made my night!
I think this performance remarks the beauty of this amazing and lovely song. Thanks
Just seen this fantastic effort
Oh my goodness! This is extraordinary and added a beautiful dimension to an already classic production.
Damn. I can't believe it took five years for this to find me. Just brilliant.
That is a truly beautiful rendition of a wonderful song
This is a fucking masterpiece.
Absolutely magnificent. You managed to retain the raw power of the manic passages without losing control. Stunning.
3:23 is one of the most beautiful versions of this part of the song I've heard.
This is insane, huge respect for doing my number one favorite song from Radiohead. Love it.
wow!! one of my fav radiohead songs done brilliantly!!! thanks...
The singer is superb!
Conductor is the arranger, they rehearsed for a week at 40 mins a day (I saw her comment here).
Wonderful. That is an excellent rendition and with so little time to prepare. Had me crying (as usual) through Rain Down) and moved by the beautiful dissonance. Congratualtions.
I was moved to tears. This is beautiful.
Get a hold of yourself, Brubs.
@@jlg395 damn that was close. Thank breh
The panic, the vomit
The music is just amazing ❤️
so underrated tbh. Deserves so much more appreciation for all this hard work and amazing result.
Brilliant , I’m sure Jonny greenwood would be very impressed
Huge Radiohead fan over here...must I say that this orchestral score and choral arrangement is fantastic!!! The melody arranged for the soloist wasn’t completely what Thom Yorke sings, but Paranoid Android is one of the last pieces (besides Myxomatosis, etc.) that I ever thought an orchestra/choir would do! Bravo!!
This was amazing. You guys killed it.
This is so incredibly awesome!!! What an experience for you. Very well done 🤘
I remember this song, back in 1997. Heard it on the radio. This song made a change in my musical life. And after listening to this album,, confirmed what I thought. This specific album changed my life. Absoulete masterpiece. Prehaps even Radiohead had no idea what they had just done: MASTERPIECE
Brilliant interpretation of one of my favourite radio head tunes
Such a moving arrangement. I couldn't agree more--you used the orchestra to its full potential capturing the character of the Radiohead instrumentation. You're a genius.
That main vocalist was perfect for the song. Does anyone know if she continued to sing and where?
These are beautiful covers!.
this arrangement is amazing!!! great work from everyone involved, every part of this is just perfection.
That was an excellent arrangement! The wide array of instruments just fits the sections perfectly. I can just imagine myself having the fun of being there playing in the midst of that…and I don’t really play anything (well)!. What a great promotion for youth to join choir and orchestra. Good job!
That song is incredible in every possible aspect.
But those interlude's armonies are a truly masterpiece. The choir nailed it!
gorgeous, love seeing this dedication to a brilliant almost deep cut Radiohead song
Paranoid Android is nowhere near a deep cut dude
Paranoid Android had a music video I wouldn’t really call it a deep cut
WOW!!!!!!!
My favourite RH song in an excellent cover. Congratulations.
Perfect!!! Loved every second of it.
Outstanding! Fantastic performance by all!
Wow, perfect . I love Radiohead Covers with choir.....Best reg. from Czech Republic
Wonderful.. just wonderful
Holy smokes!!! This is a Godsend!!! Amazing.
This video is about to blow up 5yrs later
Amazing!! Love this!
This song stands up to so many interpretations.. this one is fantastic.
Got *big time chills* throughout
absolutely great. Everything is perfect! Very very good!
This is amazing.
Just paused it at the one and a half minute mark. I love it!! Just shows how great radiohead is. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. And when will you arrange a symphonic arrangement to play with the band a la Michael Kamen and matallica. I reckon it would be awesome. Anyhoo. Back to the music. Thanks a lot
So beautiful... You did an extraordinaly job... Thanks to you all...
all the classical versions of radiohead , are amazing , just goes to show what great songs they are, interpreting them differently, stll brilliant ❤❤❤
Awesome, this rocks!
Wow... fantástico trabajo!! 👏🏽👏🏽⚘
THANK YOU! Beautiful cover of a classic song
Incredible. Other musicians that can actually do justice to a great song. Beautiful.
What a nice arrangement! Gave me goosebumps when raindown starts..
Wow! Magnifique!
Awesome job! I can’t believe you did this in a week! Wow!
i absolutely adore this song and this cover is incredible too
INCREDIBLE arrangement and performance.
This is not an easy song to cover, but everyone involved did an amazing job. Love it! ❤️
excellent rendition!
So glad the algorithm chose me today to watch this amazing video
AMMMAAAZING!!!!!!! Paranoid Android is a VERY complex piece and the way it was executed here is PHENOMENAL!!!!! WOW!!!!!
I know this is an old video, but would have loved to see you guys covering more songs.
Bravo, c'est magnifique. Tout est parfait, les arrangements, la chanteuse. La chanteuse est super. Bravo Anne pour cette orchestration !
Just love this so much. Can't believe it took me so long to stumble on it.
Goosebumps from the beginning ❤
Love it!
