Making an alt art rock song from scratch (Pt 2 of 5)

In this series I create an alternative art rock song from scratch. Taking inspiration from Radiohead, I look at ways to add some of their ideas into my songwriting. Demonstrating the entire creative process from writing and performing to recording and production, I absorb as many Radiohead-isms into this song as I can. The intention is not so much to make a pastiche, just explore their musical ideas, and see if any of these stylistic elements stick as permanant mannerisms in my song-writing playbook.
