Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place” on a rainy day is hypnotic.

Posted by Giff95

Something about hearing Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place” while it was raining just hit different emotionally. I got lost in time during the soft, looping synths as rain came down. I wouldn’t call the song comforting but it felt grounding. I just sat content with thoughts as the song played. I just felt my thoughts slowed down to immerse myself in feelings about the song and exist in the moment listening to it.

Kid A takes me back to rainy fall days in NYC commuting to and from work just listening to the album on repeat. Probably my favorite album of all time.

I was on a road trip from California when I first heard Kid A while driving around NYC on a grey rainy day. I can still remember listening to Optimistic and Morning Bell while looking at the city through the droplets on the van window. I love that album.

Periods of my life where I'm taking transit regularly, vs periods where I driving more drastically affect my music consumption. I appreciate thing very differently when not focused on driving.

This album was a staple when I was in college experimenting with stuff

Same, and I had it months in advance (still bought it though at the good old midnight release) because of Napster. I couldn't wrap my head around it, and I was convinced it wasn't even them. I used to play it in my photography studio at school for the other art kids, it was an event every time.

How to disappear completely is my number 1 existential dread radiohead song.

But have you listened to it.....on weeeeeed?!

Honestly I'm super thankful I got into Radiohead after my weed smoking phase. Listened to a lot of good music during that time, but Radiohead was much better sober.

Going to have to agree to disagree on that one. I love them regardless but they were the first band I listened to when I first got high. Kid A and ok computer were transformational.

There’s a great scene in 28 Years Later: Bone Temple that uses this song. It’s a cool enough scene on its own but hearing this song in full surround sound in a movie theater was like a next level experience.

Yup. And the opening to Vanilla Sky.

Loved this too! Man, I went in with really low expectations for that movie and it wound up being my second favorite of the series after the first one!

LunchboxDiscoball Apr 2, 2026 +2
Yo same. I had a friend that dragged me even tho I didn’t like 28 years. Bone Temple was a fun ass time. And yeah the music banged

I always love when I'm watching a show or movie and they needle drop this song

In the past week I watched that movie, *The Creator*, and the last episode of the first season of *Daredevil Born Again*. The song is in all three of them.

This song is how sadness sounds to me. This is the epitome of sadness. “Yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon” I don’t listen to this song intentionally because of how sad it makes me feel.

thom yorke really captured something with that line about the lemon - its like that moment when you wake up and reality just tastes bitter for no real reason you can explain. i used to avoid it too but now when im feeling heavy i actually seek it out because sometimes you need music that matches where youre at instead of trying to pull you somewhere else

RealVirginiaWoolf Apr 2, 2026 +2
I know. I know exactly . This song has been in my headphones for ages! There is something haunting and absolutely shattering about it to me. I do gravitate to this when I m low. It is exactly how I feel at my lowest.

KillahHills10304 Apr 2, 2026 +2
It simply makes you feel less alone. A "oh thank god im not the only one". Prevents the despair from creeping in.

For me the sad song by them I can’t listen to is probably Videotape. I strangely find Everything In Its Right Place reassuring. Maybe because it sounds too cool for me to find it sad.

RealVirginiaWoolf Apr 2, 2026 +1
Oh man I can’t explain. If sadness or being at your lowest has a sound/ it’s everything in its right place. The muffled sounds. The repetitive lyrics. The music. All of it. U r so right sbout the rainy day vibes .

Yeah, there's something about the sound of a minor key fender rhodes with vibrato on it that just sounds like a rainy day.

This record came out during the year I was grieving the death of my first wife to cancer. A lot of music that reminds me of that year, I can't listen to anymore (or have to listen to very carefully), but I go back to Kid A all the time. It's sadness and grief (and perfect rainy day music), but it's also so much more than that--without even taking the lyrics into account, the music moves me returns me to grief and then to another place. "Everything in Its Right Place" into "Kid A" is a perfect little progression, ending in a birth. That always gets me through.

What the actual f***. This song randomly popped in my head about 10 minutes before you posted this. It’s also raining here.

Fun fact: Anberlin named their band after the sounds in this song.

The trailer for the film The Accountant used it, and I also found it hypnotic, even though I already knew the song

Sad N**** by Cate Le Bon is another great rainy day song.

Check out the house remix by PJ. It is so good.

I put it on while night skiing in Brighton, UT right as a blizzard started, I’d say that was one of my best moments ever.

For reasons I cant explain, it’s probably my favorite Radiohead song, but my guess is that is part for the qualities you are describing.

I remember being alone in the paint studio in college when Tree fingers came on and it just took control of me. Stopped what I was doing and just sat there until it finished

i used to lay in bed and listen to Kid A top to bottom on dark days The Cure - Disintegration is another good rainy day album for me

Discovered a great jazz version of it by Roy Markson this week, worth a listen

It’s always the first track I put on when I move and set up a sound system, or when I get a new one.

That song scared the hell out of me as a kid lol. Probably my favorite song of theirs though.
