In the beginning you can hear the excitement in the audience singing the song, along with some whistles etc. By half the performance it's like if they got suddendly shocked and felt overwhelmed, and stood in total silence until the end. It's like if i could see them, like being there. Such a hard feeling, so intimate and shared at the same time.
When I think I've found all of the beautiful songs from Radiohead, another one pops up and I scream with joy, I can't stop smiling and replay the part where Thom says " You might have to sing along because usually I forget the fuuuuuuuccking words!" So ADORABLE
Ben Eggler Well, the whole album is very retrospective, but it's also Thom letting go of a two decade long relationship with his now ex wife. The song, when it was written, seemed to be a lot more hopeful and declarative of his feelings, but in AMSP it's more "fuck me this still hurts" At least, that's what I read in it.
I was here at this gig. Had this song at my wedding Brings a lump to my throat every time I hear it. Thank you maggie for keeping my memories allive - an unforgetable night, Cant believe it was 5 years ago now, think about it every day without fail.
Idk what it is about this man that just makes me feel so warm inside. Like, he’s not that much an energetic or outgoing person, but there is something about him that just makes me feel…safe. He’s unlike anyone. A truly unique and iconic person in the music industry.
Я, наверное, сошла с ума. Мне 74 года. О Ragiohead узнала 2 месяца назад. Теперь слушаю каждый день. Читаю перевод каждой песни. Просто влюбилась в музыку Тома.
You know, I can think of VERY few other bands where you can have an entire crowd singing along to one of your songs that only exists recorded as a live track, not even as a B-Side. This song is so good
My grandmother passed away a couple months ago, everytime I listen to this, it reminds me of her. I know this song is usually for a connection of love for couples. But I miss the tiny hands of my grandma that I used to hold, I miss she kitten smile, just dont leave.
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?
Dang, thank you for this. Do we know for sure that he left Rachel/gave up and couldn't be the partner she so deserved? I also kind of have reluctantly put those pieces together over the years, but fuck, it's just so heartbreaking. She was an amazing person and artist. I want to believe he turned it all around and matured and was present and loving and a true partner and the cancer and timing of it all just looks bad on the outside? 😔
Chascoso I started listening when I turned 14. Got to it fast. My school of 500 people and not one of them listens to Radiohead. I shouldn’t have to talk shit about my own generation
I love how the crowd begins the song singing along, but are very quickly rendered absolutely speechless by this man and his guitar. I bet there weren't many dry eyes in the place.
I like how he notices at 03:52 or something that he slightly wronged the lyrics a while before, when he "should' have sung: "True love WAITS in haunted attics"...hahaha, it was kinda nice
@@ChunLo21 Yeah, you’re right that he sings “true love lives” but the lyrics are not “in haunted attics”.....they are “on lollipops and crisps”. He is referring to a case of child endangerment that happened at the time he was writing the song where a couple of parents left their young kid at home by themselves over a weekend and the kid lived on candy and potato chips (crisps are slang for chips in England).
Chun Lo I hear what he said. I also know this song much better than most. It’s my favorite Radiohead song and the very first time they performed it he prefaced it with “This is a song that no one’s ever heard before.” I go from those original lyrics. I’ve been in love with this song for almost 20 years.
His wife (partner) died from cancer. They were together 23 years. Even though they had separated a couple of years before she passed her death had a devastating effect on him. The album, A Moon Shaped Pool, was written in memory of her.
Обожаю эту песню особенно в акустическом варианте. Она просто прекрасна, такой текст и такое прекрасное звучание. Очень пронзительная песня, вызывает много эмоций. Том Йорк гений, как и все остальные участники Radiohead
I love this song, the way Thom plays guitar and his voice makes it unique and when I hear this song I can't stop crying because the girl who I love is not right here by my side, but I know she's fine and that's what really matters.
evrytime i end up sobbing . king thom of yorke really has such a pure heart and he is sending out this powerful universal love and spirit that makes me so so sad for the lost, the konely and the ones like me who did get left and it feels like at least he knows how deep the pain can be. THE SONG IS LIKE A UNIVERSAL HUG TO THE QUIET DESPERATION THAT MARKS MANY. HES SUCH A WONDERFUL SPIRIT, HE IS TRULY THE GOOD KING THOM OF YORKE
pulita e fresca come l'aria che respiri d'inverno tra le motagne innevate assolate,piena di ricordi e malinconie fluttuanti;note che si espandono nell'infinità dello spazio;la sua chitarra,la sua anima attraverso la sua musica la sua ricerca di calma apparente ;) se yorke affascina te quanto me allora devi essere rimasta basita di fronte alla grandiosa purezza espressiva di the tourist
No words to describe him and the feelings he can evoke whenever he sings... he's just "too much, too powerful" :) And he brings a tear to my eye every time...
So yeah that happened. THAT'S AMAZING. I haven't heared him play this song for like 10 years now ... oh and the vid is 6 years old aswell. Man, what a tune.
This song makes my eyes fill up every time. I used to always hope that they'd do a proper studio recording. But now think it's just perfect as it is... a legendary unreleased Radiohead classic.
Thom sounds beautiful, you can really feel something special, that's music. And he played this song only with his fingers, just to improve the sensations. Thanks a lot for this vid !!
ive been sat in my studio since this song was released, thinking, is this my favourite balls out radiohead track?, to find out it was written obviously so long ago just confirms it. the piano version sonically is a work of art and blurs the line between digital and analogue..the track itself comes out of the speaker and goes directly to your soul, doesnt pass go or collect 200 quid. radiohead continue to blow my mind, 22years and counting....just dont leave
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
Think as he got older and as he lost hair (thinning or receding hairline or both) he wanted it really long just before it all goes away. Or hes going for a hipster art student look. Probably the latter. His long hair is majestic makes him look like a hipster meth addicted rat which contrasts his angelic voice. But yeah his volumed messy scene hair looks really good here makes him seem more youthful. Probably his most youthful hairstyle.
I agree so much with the previous comments. His performance's ethereal.. and can't be easily pigeonholed in any existing genre, just so sublime and like no other!

+Matt Gomez it was released on i might be wrong : live recordings
+Matt Gomez Also i believe its the final song on the parlaphone greatest hits compilation. Granted, an earlier version.
passionate is small word
Live in Oslo has a version that launched the song's popularity
The song was uber widely in circulation & well known long long before this show - but yes, I hear ya
0:27 he smiles when crowd likes it. So fucking cute man
+Tony The Tiger And 3:51 his reaction after forgetting the lyrics. I fucking love thom yorke man!
+Tony The Tiger And lastly, 5:03 his unusual greetings lol
+Tony The Tiger i feel u bro
true shit
typical British gesture I guess
I can perfectly see in his eyes that this song still hurts him.
Can you explain me please?.. What happened?
@@Kidmann He wrote it around 96' when he had just met his partner. They split up in 2015 and she died of cancer a couple months before the studio version finally came out in 2016.
no need to project
@@zachariabadgers9752 that is most likely the story behind the song, so he isn't projecting
Wilbert S. Cubero no,he met her in 1992.
0:28 now that is a crazy kitten smile
how does he always manage to hit me right in the soul every time
by the power of music....
by the power of music....
By being IN his. Instead of ego.
Actually a bullet straight to the 💜
thats the power of Radiohead
3:53 , thats when he realized he said lives at 3:30 instead of waits
Yeah, I found it kind of cute. He often has this problem during lives.
Bálint Ujvári és még így is tökéletes lett az egész :) szerintem, ha nem kezdi el rázogatni a fejét tuti egy csomóan nem vették volna észre a közönségből legalábbis
nekem is az egyik kedvenc felvételem : )
***** I'm everywhere :D !!!
My favourite gig ever. That moment at around 3:00 when you realise a room of ~1000 people has been rendered silent. I'll never forget it!
So lucky dude
Crippled and content
you're totally right. chills, and i wasn't even there
I like how they sing along for the first few lines then the audience is like nah we'll shut up and just listen.
That tiny change in expression at ~4:23, combined with the music, really affects me. He looks genuinely sad and distraught.
in my imagination he was looking at the girl who requested he played true love waits at the very beginning and shes crying and he sees it
hes definitely looking at someone
Chris Connor nah. Just emotional
In the beginning you can hear the excitement in the audience singing the song, along with some whistles etc. By half the performance it's like if they got suddendly shocked and felt overwhelmed, and stood in total silence until the end. It's like if i could see them, like being there. Such a hard feeling, so intimate and shared at the same time.
When I think I've found all of the beautiful songs from Radiohead, another one pops up and I scream with joy, I can't stop smiling and replay the part where Thom says " You might have to sing along because usually I forget the fuuuuuuuccking words!" So ADORABLE
booberryminx2 truth
Couldn't agree more....
Man, this song has an entirely different meaning in the context of A Moon Shaped Pool. It's become a fuckin nuke to the gut
Would you care to elaborate your thoughts on this? I'd love to hear what you think of its context on A Moon Shaped Pool.
Ben Eggler Well, the whole album is very retrospective, but it's also Thom letting go of a two decade long relationship with his now ex wife. The song, when it was written, seemed to be a lot more hopeful and declarative of his feelings, but in AMSP it's more "fuck me this still hurts"
At least, that's what I read in it.
It's normal, isn't it ? As well a performance acoustic is not at all the same as in the band.....
And now she's dead.
RIGHT??? Like, did he know she was sick the whole time? Is that what the re-performance was _really_ about?
I was here at this gig.
Had this song at my wedding
Brings a lump to my throat every time I hear it.
Thank you maggie for keeping my memories allive - an unforgetable night, Cant believe it was 5 years ago now, think about it every day without fail.
God bless you.
You played this at your wedding? It’s a beautiful song, but that’s a pretty bad omen. Good luck man

sad part is most of true lovers listening to this are broken hearts
Yep 😔😔
yeah broken rotten dying unnoticed in our dark corners haha thom is singing us to eternal sleep :)
Thom Yorke really is one of the best vocalists ever. What a man!
It's so unusual when he smiles.
But it's so beautiful
My grandmother passed away a couple months ago, everytime I listen to this, it reminds me of her. I know this song is usually for a connection of love for couples. But I miss the tiny hands of my grandma that I used to hold, I miss she kitten smile, just dont leave.

I want to believe he turned it all around and matured and was present and loving and a true partner and the cancer and timing of it all just looks bad on the outside? 😔
at 4:07 he opens his eyes and I just keep wondering what he possibly could be thinking about. God I love his performances, so genuine.
I wish I knew Radiohead/Thom Yorke when I was younger. Then I could've gone to this.
Hopefully he'll play again in Cambridge soon.

AMIN
true
wow je m'attendais pas à te voir ici (enfin si un peu)
IL Y A 3 ANS BRO J'ÉTAIS LÀ
There's talent, and then there's Thom Yorke...
Fuck off
***** lol
***** well now that I read it again I feel like a dick.
Brendan Keane yup it was a compliment :3
I love thom Yorke music , great personality a genuine dude ...😊genius .
fucking insanely beautiful
I just watched this with lia. He connects with his music so well. You really feel his emotion in it. Awesome.
Thom York has got to be one of the greatest singers of all time. And I don't mean because of technique.
If I am listening to music when I leave this earth, it’s his voice that I want to hear.
He's so happy, usally you get a sense of him not even wanting to be there, this song made him feel so special because it fucking was
When he's repeating "Just don't leave" he's not on that stage. He's back in a room talking to a woman he loved.
I like how he notices at 03:52 or something that he slightly wronged the lyrics a while before, when he "should' have sung: "True love WAITS in haunted attics"...hahaha, it was kinda nice
Oh, You don’t know what the lyrics are. Cool

this song kills me, but I can't stop loving it
How did Thom age fifteen years between 2010 and 2012?
Heroin
the hair
Maybe he dyed his hair before that
Hard marriage is my guess.
His wife (partner) died from cancer. They were together 23 years. Even though they had separated a couple of years before she passed her death had a devastating effect on him. The album, A Moon Shaped Pool, was written in memory of her.
ive just found this in 2021 and it turned out to be the best moment in my life
In addition to the song, I'm most impressed that this video was filmed in 2010 and the quality of the footage is great.
Thom Waits
The acoustics in that place must e superb cause I don't think I've ever heard Thom sound so on key. beautiful
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
Up there with Damien Rice shit
Crazy girl screaming "TRUE LOVE WAITS!!! TRUE LOVE WAITS!!!" lol, hope they come to Brazil so i can go to their show... Gosh it's like a dream *-*
Did you end up going to their shows in brasil last year? I think they ended up playing true love waits acoustic!!!
So many versions of the song but I will always remember the time and place where I first saw this vid
As usual, Thom hits me right in the feels.
Обожаю эту песню особенно в акустическом варианте. Она просто прекрасна, такой текст и такое прекрасное звучание. Очень пронзительная песня, вызывает много эмоций. Том Йорк гений, как и все остальные участники Radiohead

ninguém liga pra você
This is why I thank God (or whatever you believe in) for being alive and walking the same planet Thom Yorke walks by. This is LOVE and LIFE.
I like how carefully he puts the guitar down. Nice guitar worth respecting.
That Gibson Hummingbird is something else❤beautiful
Thom è la voce d'oro del cielo e pensieri di splendido tesoro .
pulita e fresca come l'aria che respiri d'inverno tra le motagne innevate assolate,piena di ricordi e malinconie fluttuanti;note che si espandono nell'infinità dello spazio;la sua chitarra,la sua anima attraverso la sua musica la sua ricerca di calma apparente ;) se yorke affascina te quanto me allora devi essere rimasta basita di fronte alla grandiosa purezza espressiva di the tourist
ah una cosa no sto flertando con te volevo solo condividere un pensiero ;)
around 4:25 thom's look as he says don't leave is amazing... like every word means so much to him.
No words to describe him and the feelings he can evoke whenever he sings... he's just "too much, too powerful" :) And he brings a tear to my eye every time...
the crowd are like a choir. beautiful. magical.
so beautiful and hurtful at the same time. love u thom such a beautiful voice. cant wait for next radiohead album !
Tom must be a romantic, a dreamer, a deep person because he believes that true love waits and yes only true love waits Tom.
Legend has it the crowd is still standing there, after being told not to leave.
He truly loves his audience
So yeah that happened. THAT'S AMAZING. I haven't heared him play this song for like 10 years now ... oh and the vid is 6 years old aswell. Man, what a tune.
Thom, Radiohead have been flowing through my veins ever since I first heard OK Computer. I love this man, I love their music.
This is the most beautiful thing I'll ever listen to...its devastating!
que grande Thom una estrella que no se cree una estrella. como se alegra cuando nombra la cancion y la gente lo ovaciona es unico!
This song makes my eyes fill up every time. I used to always hope that they'd do a proper studio recording. But now think it's just perfect as it is... a legendary unreleased Radiohead classic.
The light over his head looks like the moon. Love this light, this song, this guy.
I am addicted to this song and am in love with the feeling that comes with it.
This song connects with my soul.
i would die for that smile after he said what song he'd sing...
JUST, DONT LEAVE...
still listening
Thom sounds beautiful, you can really feel something special, that's music. And he played this song only with his fingers, just to improve the sensations. Thanks a lot for this vid !!
oh my god, thank you Tom
Simply the best!!!
What a genius man....everytime he write a song...it become a beautiful sound in my ears...

Awesome answer, Dude! Jajaj.
it's like comparing earth and its universe.
mi favoritaaa me encanta el sentimiento con el que thom canta ♥
that stare at "just dont leave" part is just breathtaking i bet he was imagining saying it to someones face...
Amazing voice! Living legend right here.
The way he grinned at 0:28 made me smile all stupidly.
My most favourite song. True love waits.
this performance is simply love
So beautiful
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
Why has Tom gone for the old man look, his hair looks awesome here.
Think as he got older and as he lost hair (thinning or receding hairline or both) he wanted it really long just before it all goes away. Or hes going for a hipster art student look. Probably the latter. His long hair is majestic makes him look like a hipster meth addicted rat which contrasts his angelic voice. But yeah his volumed messy scene hair looks really good here makes him seem more youthful. Probably his most youthful hairstyle.
I know, it's like he's aged 6 years since this video was recorded, right? :-/ ...Oh, wait.
pre-TKOL hair is the best but Thom's manbun is godly.
beautiful does not begin to describe this song. I saw him play this as an encore in 2001 in chicago. wonderful.
Ffs it got me again. Always that line about her tiny hands and crazy kitten smile. Gets me every time.
This song hurts so good
I love that Thom went with the older version this time. Always a favorite.
ahhh yes.. 2010. so much good thom yorke material
3:50 he sings "true love lives" for the 2nd time and realises he missed "true love waits" :(... the crowd still dig it though, long live Thom Yorke
This is absolutely beautiful
beautiful does not begin to describe this song.
