Radiohead - True Love Waits (90s band version)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- 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
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.
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
Rip
@@kjl3080 Goosebumbs all over my body, these kind of comments make me believe more in the comment community of TH-cam . Thank U.
Everyone is a radiohead fan at heart, it just takes layers of occurring sadness to break the mold ^-^
wow
GODDAMN RIGHT
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.
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.
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..
that synth arpeggio is so good
I think some Weird Fishes played a part in that
Whoever edited this version deserves Awards and my complete gratitude. This is the best mix from this era..
hope this was on spotify
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.
This song has the ability to make you cry tears of sadness and hope at the same time.
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.
How gut wrenchingly alone I feel after i listen to this.
I still missing her "Crazy Kitten Smile" :(
:(((
I also miss her "Tiny Hands'
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 :(
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 TH-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 TH-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
I ve just shared this song to my beloved gf. We didnt break up, she just had to leave the country and for her own sake she decided to quit chatting with me for the sake of moving on. I can't blame her. Something about true love waits makes me very hopeful.
Poor Thom... After his (ex)wife's death, I'm crying more than ever listening to this song. Now it's a real goodbye.
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.
Fair play to producer Dan Mulcahy. This is the definitive version for me.
This should be released on Apple Music/spotify
I can't take it anymore
Are you ok
@@thegreatkompass kinda
@@violethill4454 YO THE MAN RESPONDED
possibly my favorite "fan-edited" songs on TH-cam, and it's give me another feeling besides the "live album" and "AMSP" version
this is masterpiece of edit at it's finest
I still believe in this version. Love them both.
Music's power ... there's no barrier of language under the music. Such a wonderful band
I listen to this like hundreds time. This is truly sad song, endlessly hoping…😢
Best version of this song, perhaps?
Masterpiece. I can listen to this song over and over.
Adding this to my 2023 playlist, even though it was made in the 90's
This is like the best song ever, and it came just in time with a situation in my life, im going through it, but its hard, I love you, Radiohead
Whoever made this version, i love u
This version always hits me hard everytime
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 ❤
That sound...
So beautiful.
Tom, I am so sorry for your loss... may your wife Rest In Peace. Cancer willBe defeated.
They were married?? Thought she was a girlfriend.
Mason Gregory they were married and divorced by the time she died
This song is about the excruciating pain of loneliness and agony of waiting for something as worthwhile as true love. 😢
blown away that they included this song in the new album. and as expected, with a very _very_ different sound, because of course they aren't ever going back to their 90's sound. the new version is amazingly beatiful but i will alway remember this version when i think of the song :)
+munky cheez "They aren't ever going back to their 90s sound." Kinda wish that Weezer fans had the same mindset. Really sets that band back xD
Jesus A. well in weezer's case, they have been churning out fairly crap albums for like a decade and a half. their new album *does* sound like their 90's sound!
+munky cheez Hey, Maladroit was great. And their last two albums have been really good as well. I think they get way too much flack with their post Pinkerton work. Although Raditude is definitely complete trash.
Josh Leitzel ok yeah i meant to say that their last couple of albums have been pretty great. but its their latest album that's celebrated for being "a return to their 90's sound"
munky cheez
This edited version is EPIC, Thanks Dan!
The girl I am seeing is about to leave the country to go back home, this song is both comforting and sad for me.
I'm so sorry. I lost the girl I love too. I've been listening to this song endlessly too.
I met a girl who was on study abroad from 10,000 miles away, I knew she was the one and listened to this song on repeat for hours in my car unable to move or do anything when I dropped her off at the bus station never knowing when I would see her again, we’re 5 years married in a month......also I think I heard this on the I might be wrong album first and prefer that version.
Same
try Mew - Comforting Sounds
Such an beautiful song. Absolutely resonate my heart
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
True story. The night before I heard this song for the very first time (I bought the CD) I had a dream. In the dream, I was a ghost in an attic. The people living in the house thought there was a ghost in the attic and would shine a flashlight up in the attic but every time the light shone on me I would disappear. Then the next day I heard this song for the first time in my life.
woah
Cethine Celosia That was my reaction also.
+Ima MagnetFanatic ....speechless.
Great job man wanted to hear a more fleshed out version of this song ..... truly beautiful Radiohead A+++..
"True Love Waits" started out as a slogan for a campaign by the Southern Baptist Convention to convince teenagers to abstain from sex until marriage. I was one of those teens at the time, and I signed a pledge card. The pledge cards had a huge hole in them because the end game was to stack them around a long pole that extended from floor to ceiling of the Georgia Dome for their conference. They were also displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It was just so they could make a statement.
Those people were absolutely nuts. Like so many other kids who grew up in church, these right-wing messages were pounded into my head by a youth minister and the denomination's official Sunday School textbooks.
I can't help but think Radiohead's title for this song was influenced by that campaign because it was right around the same time period.
What was in the hearts of those people?
I might be young and ignorant but can someone tell me why pushing that idea is bad?
This is 10x better than the album version. The screaming guitar, the doot doot machine thingy, the raw acoustic and drums. Wish they'd release this instead.
cant stop listening to this..
For me, this is the true version. It's more organic, honest... his voice here sounds so pure and crystaline...
But based on the amount of likes two years later, it seems to me that the official studio version, without guitars and organic drums, is better for many people. Maybe this helps explain why they continued to be successful even though they moved away from the sound of The Bends and Ok Computer over the years, always ruining the songs that had everything to be more accessible.
Isn't it rather the oppisite? They had a typical rock sound ( still very much radiohead tho ) and moved towards a more experimental style that's charactized as being inaccesible and even weird at times.
crying me ass off on christmas
Simple but really moving. Thom Yorke... genius.
Still my favorite version ❤️
+Mariam Kasrashvili I agree with you !
+Mariam Kasrashvili same here
Mariam Kasrashvili mine too! It goes deep!
Mine too
This is the official version for me, I don't care
trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
For me too. Brilliant!
Agreed.
I adore the band; they're my favorite. But I completely agree. This song deserved more.
same
Una de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos. Sencilla y totalmente auténtica.
Puede hacerme llorar de emoción
God, that arpeggiator... I could listen to this song in loop forever.
Another year not living, just killing time, tha ks radiohead
It came back! Finally...
"You dont know anything about a broken heart girl" This song hurts me to listen...one day right?
This song just kills me! Simply beautiful!
Sacrifice and longing at the same time That's true love, man
She asked me to love her and never leave her side however today I met this song and realised why she asked to love and then she left me all alone and I love this song now to just keep those memories alive of me and her. Live a good life Girl My love for you is this song, I miss you everytime.💫
I really love this version
It’s just the background „doodledoodledoodle“ cutting in after 2:00 that has me imagining what film this could be a great soundtrack to...
This song breaks my heart everytime.
"I'm not living, I'm just killing time". How I wish that line didn't describe my life.
This is real "play this at my funeral" material right here
Can i just cry thanks
Its so pure how Radiohead creates music. I think they left this world since a lot of time ago; and they are traveling around galaxies and other dimensions but........without hold the hands of those they love. Its amazing what Radiohead has done and undone. They rise to fall and this rules do not work at all for them. Jonny Greenwood is the best musician to me side by side with John Frusciante. And Radiohead side by side with Pearl Jam are creating the best music. Pure music in this world.
LOVE THIS EDIT
I miss my best friend this week . I miss him a lot
So.....CAN YOU BELIEVE RADIOHEAD ACTUALLY PUT THIS ON AN ALBUM?! Holy FUCK, Thom!
Can't find anywhere....T__T
+drovid008 spotify? :P
Joel The Owl yea just found, thank you! :)
duffy vinyl can't find it on Spotify :(
It's there. The new version is in A Moon Shaped Pool and the old version is in hte I Might Be Wrong EP. If you're asking for this version, this is a "remix" so it wouldn't be there.
"Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains."
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
So ahead of their time. Imo, severely underrated
"The lyrics in the video are correct. Many sites on the internet list the wrong lyrics for this song." Love that wording on your behalf.
It's a masterpiece
Wow! What a great job done here!!! I loved it!
This song is horrifyingly depressing. It's good to love someone but I don't think it's ever healthy for anyone to ever love someone this much if you ever have to beg them to love you the same way.
In so many ways, this song reminds me of my mother because this is the only kind of love anyone should ever give unconditionally to anyone. To the extent that all of your existence is only meant for the well-being of someone who depends entirely on you for their survival. (I hope I worded it right.)
This is honestly one of the saddest songs I've ever heard, along with a Mexican song that is mostly only played in funerals.
I always thought he is saying he doesn’t want to have to leave family. Crazy kitten smile. Tiny hands. Lollipops and crisps. About not wanting to be away from family. Which he had to do a lot on tours .
@@beakahd590 maybe so. But lines like "I'm not living. I'm just killing time" doesn't sound healthy. And I always took the lines you mentioned as someone longing for the simple life with someone who doesn't reciprocate. But maybe I'm entirely wrong and this is just a case of a Rorschach blob, and I'm only projecting what I fear subconsciously.
What is the mexican song? Im curious lol
You obviously haven’t felt that kind of deep love so of course you’re not going to understand it.
It’s not something people choose.
Caring that much about someone is beautiful and yes it’s sad when it’s unrequited and people need to express what they feel.
I know androids don’t... so you’ll never get it.
And btw, some mothers are horrible and evil so stop it with the “love your mother” cliche.
It’s so stupid. Every persons upbringing is different.
@@beakahd590 His love was dying. He didn't want her to go to heaven and him stay down here alone waiting to die "killing time." He'll "wash her swollen feet" because she was retaining water. His "true love waits" in heaven and her "true love lives" on earth get it? So sad
still come back to this edit
I'm glad it's back...
If True Love Waits was on OK Computer
More like the Bends imo
Yeah, this has a more The Bends flavour to it IMO. Although the Synth part has a more Ok Computer influence. Love it.
Charlie Alderson more like TKOL
Deelohn TKOL is way more experimental than this
Charlie Alderson Lol it was a month ago. I think I was just being a sarcastic bastard and picked the album it would least fit in.
Keep coming back to this
I used to listen to this song late at night when the most important person to me was on a date with someone else. I always woke up for work the next day. That says both something about me and something about her.
WOW! Like no time has passed and yet it feels like a lifetime..........
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
THIS HAS TO BE ON SPOTIFY!!!
I thought I commented on this once, but maybe I just dreamed it.
Listening to this version of the song (the real version to me) is one of the few times i've ever experienced the feeling of true love.
I love you for editing this together!!!!!
thank you for this never delete this
You'll never know how much I have loved you and how much you have hurt me.
Radiohead is up there with the very best of rock and roll of all time. I think I have to put them in my top five. They hit my musical G spot.
If u can love the wrong person that much.imagine if u love the true ones...
A lost song for a lost age, I heard this song when I worked in a drugstore in 2017 and I miss that year and all those friends that I knew
la mejor version de este tema para mi.
a solas en tu habitacion con la luz apagada y si llueve mucho mejor.
i think that this song is just saying that unfulfilled love lives forever
I used to sing this song washing dishes at whole foods on closing shift. If any soul heard me, no one said so. I hit it pretty good too.
For years, I wasn’t sure if I could love someone else. I didn’t believe in love anymore. Recently, it proved me wrong.
While I was busy getting lost in him, he was busy talking to other women.
omfg.... this song... unbelievably leaves me alone
Ten years and not one dislike. Says so much about this song.
So, I was writing about that dear one when my phone died and everything disappeared. I think it's a sign that I should keep my story hidden a little while longer. Anyway, this song gives me both hope and deep sadness. Is there really smtg to be called True love and is it worth waiting for it ? What if I keep waiting for this love and never catch it ? Should I consider what I feel for another person Killing time ? I'm confused and saddened, this song is amazing and I'm thanksfull it exists. I just need to find the right direction. Thank you for reading this
I hear this song every time before I clock into work so it gets stuck in my head and clears my anxiety
I love the light of this video, it brings me to something inside me
I am the only who likes this version more than the new album?/soy al único al que le gusta más esta versión a la del nuevo album?
Both are good to me, they are very different to compare
I prefer this version. no me Gusta mucho la version del nuevo album.
Like a comments said earlier, this one sounds more cheerful, positive and just lovely, it was before "A Moon Shaped Pool"
The album version is more sad, depressive, not so positive, it was on the album, just as Thom ended his 27 relation with his long time girlfriend (or wife?)
But hey that's just a theory
No, you're not the only one mate. / No, no eres al único que le gusta más que la del álbum, hermano.
I love the album version but I find this one more emotional for some reason.
