Here's my cover of Radiohead's No Surprises for the LWJHfest, which they performed way back in 1997.
This gave me an opportunity to whip out the xylophone. There's also the Ibanez acoustic and GB piano, strings, bass and drums. And wobbly voice.

Excellent. Love Radiohead. Like how you dropped the vocal down at the" belly ache" bit. It gives the chorus impact when it comes back in. Beautifully arranged.

I'm opening this with anticipation -
Whoa! this is giving me goosebumps - I love this version, so very fragile and beautifully understated.
You brave and talented man. Bravo.

This is terrific - love how the glockenspiel counterpoints the piano and the acoustic ties it all together. Lots of feeling, both vocally and musically. Sad to say I don't know the original song, but I thoroughly enjoyed your version!

Before the start I thought to myself "He's going to have to go some to compete with Radiohead's version"
During the first verse, I began to have doubts.
But ... I stuck with it ... And glad I did too.
A very pleasant surprise. Nicely constructed & recorded too 8)
