Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2011
- An edited live performance of 'True Love Waits' produced by Dan Mulcahy with added instruments to create a full band version and to imagine a 90s era studio recording with the synth part from the 1995 performance.

The line "Im not living, im just killing time" hits so hard
It’s my tatoo
@@laurazizzo9449 So on your deathbed you're gonna say "I didn't live much, I just killed some time"? Or you gonna get it removed before then? Might as well have just gotten a sticker
@@Talisman09 who cares bitch
Same here
It's life as an adult really...
Here’s an idea: I believe the reason they never released this on their earlier albums because they had already been associated so heavily with “creep” “high and dry” and “fake plastic trees” and this is obviously a special song to Thom. And I’m sure he didn’t want a version like this, as beautiful as it is, being stamped in every romance movie or teen drama. (Because let’s be real, it totally would have been. ) Therefore Thom and the band reserved this for only special occasions and a very heartfelt version on AMSP.
It's beautiful how this song went through a lot of recording tries, from the the bends recording to another one in OK computer, to an obscure combination with the pulk/pull revolving doors in the resent KID A MNESIA. Yet, this song fits so perfectly in the last album, at the end of the path... Neither of the previous recordings would fit on their respective albums.
This reminds me like the song Tearjerker by RCHP, they never played the song live since it’s a song that Anthony made when he heard that Kurt died. They were great friends.
@@alien_in_white_3 this song was supposed to be on the bends???
@@ryancos3826 the first time Radiohead played it was in 1995 (source from genius)
@@VIIVIIV as someone mentioned previously, pulk/pull revolving doors was originally a version of true love waits, so technically it was recorded for Kid A at some point
the doot doot doot machine that comes in after the second chorus is so beautiful
Lol!!!!! Doot doot doot! Lol!! That would be called a major arpeggio done on a synth. Either way. Beatuiful
Hahaha. Yeah I agree. That's what makes this my favorite version of this song.
When Steve left Blue's clues :/
It is beautiful. That is the exact thing I would have called the doot doot doot machine.
Oml this is so adorable.
This song goes dedicated to every broken soul who can't move on/get rid of feelings to someone who doesnt belong to us anymore and so time goes on they, move on, they get married, get children and yet we still hold feelings for them.
To know a loss that resembles a fraction of the way he nailed pain. Only to realize you're now stronger... hearts of darkness
This is one of my fear in life to be honest..

Love never dies. It only transforms into care, melancholy, sometimes sadness, but it never disappears. If you ever loved, you will always remember this person, no matter where they are. It kills you and pushes you forward at the same time.
Kalina Petkova its true kalina, a true love.never forget.no matter if it's broken.thanx for the coment,saludos.✌
I agree with you, Kalina.
true
LOL Shut the fuck up.
Are you on Facebook? What you say holds true. I am in the pushed forward stage many years hence. I hope you are too. Your photo speaks to me.
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
Coming from one of the most beautiful girls :)
@@HimanshuOnYT such a wholesome comment, awh
This is a heartbreaking song
This isn't a love song. The song is About a Boy who was abandoned by his parents and told to stay in the Attic and not to leave.
Jacob Gray why you gotta burst my happy bubble?
Start loving when you're ready, not when you're lonely. -unknown
Good advice
wow, thank you stranger
That's deep 🤗
No one Is ever ready to love, that's the Beauty of it. It just happens
You are losing so much with not listening to Radiohead, but if you are listening you already did.
Yep.
that's why i came here
Deep
dudee yes 🥺
Damn...
i'm not living. i'm just killing time.
I can relate
sadly i am too
://
Leonidas Riverson latley that's all I do. killing. precus time. reason for every season. joy
Aren't we all?
It’s weird how context affects the meaning in music. How this song went from an optimistic, joyous song about how great love is, to an almost hopeless song describing the fear of people leaving. It’s weird how much Thom’s life affected the song and the way we heard it, despite no lyrics being changed and only a minor change of instruments. Music’s one fucked up art form.
All I can say is it fucking Beautiful and I fell it ❤
No, did you ponder the lyrics? This is not a happy song and never has been. It's irony, maybe even sarcasm. It's about the illusion of 'true love' about unfullfilled longing and despair.
@@alllscinationisn’t the illusion part of it all?
@@superhornyalien true. I feel that how you see things is always part of it. Is Optimistic actually optimistic or also critiquing optimism? It can be both. I personally think this song is pleading for the hope of true love waiting.
Based volition pfp.
This is a masterpiece. They should send this song into space to live forevor
this is beautiful
Yes sir
It's already in space. We're in space.
Matt Russo...😉
Matt Russo, an astrophysicist from Toronto's Seneca College, proved that this song is literally being played by the planets of our solar system - clearly you first need to speed them up to pitch up the frequencies of the orbitations, but it's truly fascinating!
Whoever edited this version deserves Awards and my complete gratitude. This is the best mix from this era..
hope this was on spotify
Thom stated that ' How to disappear...' was the most beautiful thing he ever did. I guess this one is just as beautiful.
He later said "Videotape" was the best thing he did
@@841ONUR A good one indeed too, and sure there much more than the three to make a pick
Aw he did say that. That was a nice answer.
This is quoted several times, however, this is something he said in the early 2000's at the time they had only released 4 albums, Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer and KID A.
Im not sure that still holds up after Hail to the Thief, Amnesiac, A Moon Shaped Pool, In Rainbows and The King of limbs tho.
Maybe it does, i dont know, many people just take fir granted that he still thinks so, in my opinion, he must've changed his opinion a while ago.
I read somewhere he said Pyramid Song was the best thing they ever did
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
"Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?"
What a Great thought!!
Thank you very much!
This chokes me & makes me cry. I'm so lonely, it hurts.
its ok...are you ugly?

Who in the world said people who are good looking can't get lonely ????

You are not alone. Greetings from dictature Minsk
This song is heart breaking. "Just don't leave".
In the mid-90s, it's about a young man finding love and clinging to his own desire to trust it.
By 2018, it's the song of a heart-broken man who left the love of his life in her lowest hour, and couldn't summon the strength to be with her while she was dying. It was he who abandoned her in the end.
The young lover, who as a child was left routinely in an attic, only understanding love to be the lollipops and crisps that a negligent parent uses to balm the relationship with their child. He discovers real love - and impetuously is willing to abandon himself, and drown his beliefs, in order to feel like he deserves it. The song is as self-conscious as the young man - it's desperate. "Don't leave" is a cry to the parents abandoning him to his loneliness, but also becomes the cry to the new lover he can't trust to stay around. True Love Waits, not only for the parents to return, but for a young man to develop a more mature understanding of what love should be.
And she did wait for him. She waited for him to mature. She waited for him during countless world-wide tours. The mother of his children, and a formidable artist in her own right.
In 2016, Rachel Owen dies.
They agreed he couldn't be the supportive partner she needed and parted amicably just one year before she passed.
Now, the refrain "Don't Leave" takes on a double meaning.
A cry for the loved one lost forever.
But, also a cry from the grave to him
"Just don't leave"
- and yet he did.
Lament.
Now he waits, but for what?
I got the chills all over when I read this! I knew he wrote it about her not leaving to heaven, but you just told the story with the most heartbreaking detail. Thank you for the emotions that skipped down my arms and tickled my feet. I felt every word! 😔
I scrolled just for someone to explain this,,, many men brush off the death of a wife, they have no time for it,,, live to regret it I believe... Ive known about 3/4 men do it. But they didn't get left in an attic as kids😔
Absolutely beautiful comment

@@kjl3080 Goosebumbs all over my body, these kind of comments make me believe more in the comment community of UA-cam . Thank U.
Everyone is a radiohead fan at heart, it just takes layers of occurring sadness to break the mold ^-^
wow
GODDAMN RIGHT
that synth arpeggio is so good
I think some Weird Fishes played a part in that
Such a gorgeous song, but it inevitably makes me cry. These years have been so hard.
It's late. I'm drunk. I just finished the movie The Notebook. This is the song that should have been in the closing credits. I'm about to go to sleep with my girl. We met when we were fourteen. We're 36 and 37 years old now respectively. We just met back up five months ago. So far this is the best year of my life and I am very grateful.
:)
XD
Go, Jeff, go!
Wow!!! Good for you guys!!! That's a beautiful thing!!!
I'm sorry you had to sit through that movie. You should check to make sure your ball haven't turned into a vagina.
R.I.P. Rachel Owen.
This song is proof that Thom really really loved her.
Such a tragic success, I just hope that Thom can get the support of his friends and family.
Dont worry, no matter how much you love a lost one, everything in its right place.
@@pekee9304 does that mean he didn't love her??
Damn… :(
He wrote this way before she died, but still..
The arpeggio is soo good. Can’t stop listening
do you know the notes for the arpeggio? I can't find them anywhere
@@GabrielCastro-cp2mdlisten at 1:59
This is just one of those Radiohead songs that I can't finish, because of how sad and melancholic it makes me, yet I want to listen to it more. It really is the definition of bitter sweet.
♥️♥️
You are so right. It gives me shivers the whole time.
I don't yet have a tattoo but "I'm not living, I'm just killing time" is forever etched across my soul.
Cheers the Radiohead boys.
there's no 'better' version. All that radiohead plays is hauntingly beautiful and soul breaking
This song coming up on shuffle while I was taking a walk as the sun was setting gave me one of the most surreal feelings I've had in a long time.
This song has the ability to make you cry tears of sadness and hope at the same time.
How gut wrenchingly alone I feel after i listen to this.
Its not sad. Its emotional. If you're feeling sad listening to it you have sadness in you. Some people get inspired by radiohead and other music but it makes some sad. Its all perspective. Radiohead writes music as a reflection of the world around us. Some can handle the music and some can't, the same as some can handle reality and some can't. The world is not perfect, theres a lot of weird stuff out there and radiohead is one of the closest at capturing that into music form.
You just caught my thoughts and put them into words. Be fine :)
Be fine :)
This comment is gold. All my friends say they suck, that their music depresses them, but to me it's so fucking powerful, it captures emotions that are hard to describe with words. I recently lost my best friend to cancer, and songs like "Videotape" and this one hit me like a brick. It does make me sad, but being sad isn't necessarily a bad thing, it makes me feel...human. Helps me in the grieving process.
I don't fully follow the lyrics but radio head calms me down and they seem to see through people's mind...
I cant imagine psychopath who can "get inspired" by this voice. It is sad and depressive.
I'll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living, I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands, your crazy-kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
Ayaz Sourov thanks
man holy moly we really needed those lyrics on a lyrics video
@@nomadic-loyalist actually, yes
i close my eyes before the screen and see a white square amongst the darkness
The correct lyrics:
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
This song saved me in my darkest days. God bless you Radiohead. Keep rocking.
I love this version better than the other one.
This version is more optimistic.. the album version is more heartbreaking
I feel like it is more meloncholic undertone and more emotion in Thom Yorkes performance here, then on Moon Shaped Pool.
+Stefán Atli Jakobsson I agree
I was the most heartbroken person in the world when I heard this song for the first time and that happend a long, long time ago. "The Moon..." version is pretty satisfying, but it kinda fells like something too overdrawn comparing to the old timer. I guess it's just a matter of that song itself, because the tempo really doesn't make such difference. A mellody with a lyrics like that would NEVER seem optimistic to me, even if it would be played on a mothafreaking banjo. "Last Flowers" is even a better example of what i'm talking about.
I like to think of it as if the early live versions are being in a relationship and the studio version is the break up.
Studio version was about breakup of thom and his wife. they were together for 23 years..... and she died last year :(
You will always find yourself drifting back to this song regardless the time you spend without listening it.
23 years. . . how much it must hurt for yorke to listen / play this. Rest in Peace, Rachael Owen.
Please dont ever take down this video again. The song version and video together are irrereplaceable. There's is not collection of words that can describe this feeling. Well maybe finding the one person that truly understands you after years of being lost. Or maybe remembering your best teenage memory and what it would be worth to go back for 4 minutes and 49 seconds.
Using all these components was so smart. The 2001 performance, the 1995 arpeggios, and the mix of the band fit so well
One day, long after the concerts have all finished, the audiences entirely dispersed into the centuries, this will shine on like a star, a diamond blazing against the night, pleading with new generations: just don’t leave. Don’t leave.
The most beauty version of this song!!
Goddamnit Radiohead, how do you summon these tears from me? I'm perfectly happy and married and in love but this song makes me think of losing what I have and just the thought hurts. Beautifully touching lyrics and song.
omfg…. when the drums kicking…. BLISS
This sounds a lot like a full band version the band would have done during the Bends era. Beautiful stuff.
Guilherme Eddino I think they played it sometime between 1990-1998 the first time. It's on UA-cam, that video. You can find it easily if you're interested.
this song is edited, read the description.
iqbal muhamad
This version on this video here is edited, but it's inspired by an actual live performance, which there is a video of on UA-cam.
+Mooie Telebogen oh ok.
That's when they wrote it duh, I've listened to this song since the 90s. They just actually released it on a album
Fair play to producer Dan Mulcahy. This is the definitive version for me.
my only sister died of breast cancer at 48 old, 6 years ago ( 14 november 2014). i never show her my pain and my tears, i tought she got enough with the pain, sorrows and treatments. one time, i just drop in tears and i said to her.... dont leave me here alone please . i need you, dont leave pls please..... dont leave. today, i would says the same. dont leave pls.
Poor Thom... After his (ex)wife's death, I'm crying more than ever listening to this song. Now it's a real goodbye.
There’s honestly nothing and no one like Radiohead. Sometimes it’s hard for me to even believe how unbelievably good they are. Their music and his voice are out of this fucking world. It gets to you on a spiritual level. I love the album version way more than this one, but there’s an undeniable feel of raw emotion in both. Bless this band ❤️
The ending is incredible. The whole song is just beautiful, but the ending man that last few "don't leave"s are just something else.
I sent this song to my fiance, but she cant wait me any longer and left me. I comes here everyday just to get the feeling back in the day we were together,the time i felt fallin in love again n again.
Sorry to hear this man.

You r not alone bro
Love you dude
Be strong, brother❤️

I also miss her "Tiny Hands'
This should be released on Apple Music/spotify
its been over a year. She's still around and i dont think that i'll ever forget her. Her hands are small, she's 5.2, the lyrics fuck with my head so much.

crying me ass off on christmas
Here's one of those old sappy comments...
I miss you... I hope I can be blessed enough to find someone like you. I don't think I'll ever be the same.
Modern classic by Radiohead right up there with some of their best work. Honestly one of the best songs in recent times.
I don't think it's hyperbole to posit this might have been their biggest hit ever had it been recorded like this and released on either The Bends or OK Computer. It absolutely nails their sound from that era. Kudos Mr. Mulcahy. If we consider this a cover, this catapults into my top 10 covers of all time.
Well fuckin said
I can see this being on every "Best Songs of the 90s" list. Hell, maybe even Best Songs of All Time
If this was the last track on The Bends I think people would praise it in the same way people praise OK Computer as "one of the greatest albums of all time"
I can't take it anymore
Are you ok
@@itskompassjustkompass kinda
@@violethill4454 YO THE MAN RESPONDED
I still believe in this version. Love them both.
When I feel down I get on my bike put this on and just cycle. Really helps. Radiohead music is transcendent and idk what I would do without it
Masterpiece. I can listen to this song over and over.
Man! I've been looking for this version for literally YEARS! I had it ages ago, then somehow lost it. But
TRUE
LOVE
WAITS
it really does
"Hmm this is their saddest song huh? It really doesn't feel like-"
"I'm not living I'm just killing time"
*damn*
There is something very special about this song. Makes me think of Daniel Johnston's True Love Will Find You in the End.
This is very well observed and performed. I always loved that synth line - it lifts the 95 version so much.
This song was scientifically ranked as the saddest song from Radiohead. This version, albeit not 100% theirs is the best one.
how would one scientifically rank how sad a song is?
@@lorenzogiovannibotti by chord progression and lyrics
Radiohead is such a special part of my life , their music is absolutley gorgeous and a gift to all that have a brain and know what to listen for, thank you Radiohead
I'm not living, i'm just killing time
This is real "play this at my funeral" material right here
I just listened to this song for the first time now. No one can sing as beautifully as Thom.
2019, someone listening and crying too?
I do
I Do
I do
same here......
I do
I listen to this way more than the album version. It just sounds better.
YASSSS
This is everything, Im not articulate enough to express how much I love Radiohead and their music. It reaches your soul.
Just don't leave... don't leave...
October 2019? Anybody?
D.
Me...
Don’t leave, just don’t leave...
Lost my dog few days go: it’s devastating. Never thought I could suffer so much. Maybe only now I know a little more about me.
@@RC-mv7zz I'm sorry... so sad
yup
What about it?
Yes.
Still here
I used to sing this to keep from going over the edge. Now I have someone who keeps me from the edge. Those who say they don't need anybody are fooling themselves...this life isn't meant for constant loneliness
Adding this to my 2023 playlist, even though it was made in the 90's
I just waited for 7 years
Just to see again you disapear
How can heavy this life turned to be
How can I live without your love
Again you just go
But for the ages you still will be my soul..mate
This song breaks my heart and i love it.
This song is the feeling, the raw emotion that Thom captures in this masterpiece! Probably my favourite song of all time because he just gives his soul ❤
Love this so much it hurts! Thom Yorke is the most important musician of his generation, and I am fully prepared to die on that hill!
Such an beautiful song. Absolutely resonate my heart
holy shit! this is really nicely done, filled in the song really beautifully. dang, the full band element just kicks it all up a notch. forever such a heartbreaker.
This edited version is EPIC, Thanks Dan!
Best version of this song, perhaps?
One of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in my life
That sound...
So beautiful.
Hearing this make me think how would songs like ideoteque and right place sounded if they’d stuck to The Bends sound. If this was a single it would get a lot of radio play but not so much the MSP version. I think they are both beautiful. His voice is really good on this.
This song is about the excruciating pain of loneliness and agony of waiting for something as worthwhile as true love. 😢
The years pass and this song continues to be magical. I can't stop listening to it!!!
I dressed like my niece once. What a wild Thanksgiving.
I thought he said dress like you need.
Auto-Bahn Kenobi Dude, thats great
Hahaha
Your fucken stupid. Loooooooooooool. Meant that in a nice way. Looooooooool
Hahahahaha
Great job man wanted to hear a more fleshed out version of this song ..... truly beautiful Radiohead A+++..
Whoever made this version, i love u
This version always hits me hard everytime
I'm genuinely upset this isn't available on Spotify.
To me this is the best version of this song. And yeah, it'll never be available anywhere else cause this was made by a fan
it is, on the playlist "i might be wrong" search the "live in oslo version"
@Vitorio582 it is available on spotify through their playlist "i might be wrong", you can also search "live in oslo"
I love how this song has a history through the bands entire career, and has versions completely different from the last!
I LOVE how you included the Atari bleeps from the early live performances.
This is the best version. Stirs up so many feelings and emotions....
This is the best version of this song available on UA-cam rn.
Thank you so much.

Wow! What a great job done here!!! I loved it!
