“The Tourist” was written by Jonny, who, explains Thom, was “in a beautiful square in France on a sunny day, and watching all theses American tourists being wheeled around, frantically trying to see everything in 10 minutes.” Jonny was shocked at how these people could be in a place so beautiful and so special and not realize it because they weren’t taking the time to just stop and look around.
Jonny : “Thom didn’t play a thing, he just listened. It’s quite nervy, with a lot of space. It sounds like the last song on an album.”

I would never get any markup written without Radiohead, so awesome. I get washed away by the music and I lose all time. Simply brilliant.

This song really grows on you, on my first naive listen to OK Computer I overlooked it now I realize how genius it is, absolutely beautiful. And now Radiohead is my favorite band ever, every album is brilliant, to me no one compares.

The fools on here saying that "No Surprises" should have been the album closer are ridiculous. Obviously, you have no perspective on how an album should flow. "The Tourist" couldn't have been a more fitting finale.

Such a good closer, I used to think No Surprises should have been the song to do that, but not anymore. It's so powerful at the end.
