The first half of the song sounded a lot more focused to me than the second half.

My thought is that he had an idea for a song but didn't really know where he wanted to go with it so he decided to play with it during a studio rehearsal. The second half of the song sounds like he is just riffing, throwing ideas against the wall and seeing if anything sticks. My guess nothing or at least not enough did so the song was abandoned at that time and not released.

Why it is being released now is a very good question and we can all speculate until the cows come home and have calves. Maybe he wanted to see if any of the comments he gets spark an idea on how to finish it
