Radiohead singer talks vocal technique, his favorite singers, and more — including the time he got so high he forgot his own song — in an excerpt from Jason Thomas Gordon’s upcoming book The …

So you had vocal lessons in school?

But, you know, it just sounds like a drunk bloke. Endless weeks of disastrous vocals until I sobered up.Not really! I remember being totally half-cocked, trying to sing “Let Down.” God. Awful.It really isn’t! You gotta be so accurate! But you spend a lot of the time, probably like actors do, trying to achieve ways to not feel self-conscious so it just becomes about singing itself. Much like being an actor, in order for it to be believable, you have to remove yourself.

. It’s quite an amazing feeling when your voice just opens up like that. It’s mental. But this is what happens when you’re touring a lot, you have to have someone fix you up if you throw yourself around like I do.

It’s something I get quite anxious about, because a lot of the time, I will be really into a piece of music as it is, and the vocal is simply a punctuation for that. The core of the thing we’re working on is not necessarily the voice. Especially with Jonny, it may be something to do with the rhythm, or with the way the chords fall, or an arpeggiation he’s written.

Yeah, because you really don’t approach singing as a lead singer. It’s almost like you approach it as a painter or something. But that song is perfect as is. Then, you went and re-recorded it with all this other stuff, and I always wondered why you felt you had to do that?
