the "rain down" section doesn't have some obscure meaning. in the original, pre-record version, the "rain down" sections lyrics were "rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me, from a great height, from a great... hallelujah, hallelujah (repeat)" and ends with "amen"
it is a desperate prayer by a desperate man. how this section is structured and sung also provides meaning. the choral background vocals are to give the feeling or represent munk/religious choir vocals, and thom yorke wails the lyrics, almost as though he's crying or on the verge of breaking down.
it is the emotional climax of the song; the narrator is desperate and making a plea to a god that doesn't appear to be real. the final lyric "god loves his children, yeah" is sung with a very sarcastic/biting tone, alluding to the disenchanted and skeptical nature of the narrator.
i believe the "rain down" section is one of the best pieces of music ever recorded.
@entropath It is up there. When I run the endorphins have begun to hit. The darkness hits in an uplifting way.

Exit Music for a Film is where you really start to feel it. Uplifting and dark but with endorphins Give it a try sometime dude just run to OK Computer and try to keep a pace until Lucky. Running to this type of music is underrated as a drug.
