[alexgtzmusic]

JUST DONT LEAVE

[londonfill]

Поразительно-выразительная музыка.

[NixyLa]

although this is quiet possibly the most beautiful song EVER, when i watch him i cant get my mind out of the gutter!

[AmelieDemy]

@NixyLa correct!

[maxrome67]

he looks like he cud pass as Jodie Foster's brother here....weird........

[171109ful]

esta canção lembra algúem que me marcou muito, ainda não esqueci e acho que não vou esquecer,tive que aprender a viver com a distancia, com a lembrança e com a saudade, foi o que me restou

[WavieCassiopeia]

Thooooom ♥

[topliff12345]

Gorgeous.

[flashka84]

Thome i so love you, if u see my message give me a sign!

[ivo192]

I´m not living, I´m just killing time...

[almatsliah1]

They MUST record this song for their next album!

[spongey222]

@almatsliah1 I think its prefect just the way it is

[Derezzed4]

@almatsliah1

this song is in their "live records" album

[desmurfenzijnblauw]

@Derezzed4 I used to have that album, and there are some lines written on the booklet, most of them just random gibberish. I would greatly appreciate if you could write them down for me, I know some of them meant something to me, but I lost them.

[santiitay2212]

i love this song

[thiago2hogan]

True Love Waits!

[MrMykensie]

just... don't leavee. =/

[SirGeorge8600]

Lol who did he nod at 0:40?

[xxwantedxx]

i want that guitar in my soul

[vazkopl]

God, Mozart, Thom Yorke, Petter Griffin, Chuck Norris..

[mjb565656]

I hope he means don,t  leave

[Eder5837]

Don't leave... don't leaave... don't leeeave

[kuiki123]

what a legend :) i love everything this man puts on paper (unless it follows a poo obviously )

[DancesWithMrsWoolf]

I love even his scruffy hair :)

[ScottPilgrim4ever]

The face he makes at 43 seconds in makes me laugh every time ;) ahahaha!!!

[jasonC9595]

Dare I say it? Thom Yorke--a 21st century John Lennon.

[otemachi]

Don't know how much i like this performance of this song, but when Thom sings the first word in the first refrain, "just", it comes out so clear and with such perfect timing..

[tonatiuhnitor]

I have a man crush on Thom...

[thiago2hogan]

true love waits!!!!!!always!!!!

[bigarden28]

pure love;),. dont understand why people hit the dislike buttom,.if you dont like it just dont see it!!!!;)

[tubelator]

@bigarden28 Cause ppl are ignorant and just wanna be cool!

[fisk245]

Amazing!!!



[Joeywooden]

I WAS THERE!! I love that I can say that, I can NEVER say that. I know why he smiled and who he smiled at, I know ALL OF THIS!! The butterfly that drifts by in the middle of this, it landed on my friend in the crowd just before. Man... If I hadn't been coming down quite so hard, I'd have said it was the best moment of my ENTIRE LIFE... maybe that's an overstatement but I DON'T CARE!! I WAS THERE!! ME!! AND I'm a MASSIVE GEEK!! Screw you, world!!

[loocille]

@Joeywooden ooooh why did he smile? oh and well done for being a geek :)

[Joeywooden]

@loocille A fella near the front, around the start of the set threw a banana on stage and shouted to Thom to eat it. From then on they had a little banter, the man in the crowd was shouting slightly pervy, boring, drunk bullshit. Thom smiled in his direction cos he thought the fella would appreciate it, I think. How about that? Stone cold FACT, baby.

[Karmastereo1]

those 4 people who disliked this video should JUST LEAVE and dont ever come back with their negative feedback....RADIOHEAD along with PINK FLOYD are one of the most beautiful and talented bands in the history of music...not just rock! This is an anthem to Love and Hope!

[eedobaba7726]

I'd love to see an acoustic solo album from thom.

[guyanaboi122]

nice hair thom :)

[9letters2woorden]

dunno justin bieber, lady gaga, kesha and rihanna visited this videos jsut to dislike it

[sashalovesderek]

4 dislikes ha ha.....believable!

[Shadow9392]

*cries*

[ljswan34]

Words cant describe how beautiful this song is. This is lyrical genius in all sense. Thom Yorke will go down as top 5 artists of all time.

[hurdy72]

@ljswan34 with out a doubt one very special man !

[Jannacek]

freaking genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StuMac303]

well top!!!!!!, anyone know what guitar Thom is playing?, its sounds so exquisite.

[misellus7]

@StuMac303 I think its a Gibson

[TheGreatBritishAlex]

@StuMac303 gibson dove i think, maybe the hummingbird i kinda forgot

[indigonils]

i've heard he wrote this song based on a newspaper story about a couple of abandoned children who had nothing to eat but lollipops and crisps... :(

[danniibell86]

four people do not have ears

[4444stephany]

PRECIOSO XD

[photoxloan]

I was 9 years old since i listened to radiohead. I live in a country in asia which has different culture and traditions which is Philippines.. Most of the people there listens to common music..until now, I'm still not influenced by other new artists on MTV except radiohead. I'm 21 now and residing here in the US.. hope I can toast a drink to Thom Yorke.

[soleilmh]

Hahaha the face on Yorke after he sings "I'll dress like your niece" is priceless

[princefan2million]

@soleilmh I agree, and frankly I'm disappointed that occurred. This song itself was priceless to me 13 years ago. And judging by this performance, Thom no longer takes the track seriously. He seemed pretty disconnected.

[princefan2million]

@soleilmh I agree, and frankly I'm disappointed that occurred. This song itself was priceless to me 13 years ago. And judging by this performance, Thom no longer takes the track seriously. He seemed pretty disconnected.

[loocille]

@princefan2million But we can't know why he's smiling while he sings that. He seemed to be nodding to someone in the crowd - perhaps someone was dressed outlandishly, girlishly - like a 'niece'. Or perhaps his family were in view - he has 2 kids. Maybe the significance of the song has evolved for him, it's been a while since he wrote it - 'living on lollipops and crisps' must take on new meaning when you have young children!

Also, surely his attitude to the song shouldn't change its value to you

[SudoPollo]

"And true love waits in haunted attics, on lillipops and crisps" ... Can someone explain me please?

[johnclever1]

@SudoPollo Well, my idea, in that verse, he is saying that true love lives on everything, love is everywhere, no matter what, there's always love. Just my opinion, sorry if I'm wrong.

[17361097]

@SudoPollo "On lollipops and crisps" is from an article he read: "I read an article about a child who was between 5-8 yrs old who was left on his/her own for a week in a house when his parents left on hoilday and he lived on lollipops on crisps. True".

[SudoPollo]

@17361097 .. You mean that he survived eating lollipops and crisps? .. ty for the answer.

[17361097]

@SudoPollo that's all i know. found it on greenplastic. look for the lyrics section, you can find some song info there. cheers.

[Jobizzie]

@SudoPollo I tihnk hes saying the idea of 'true' love is childish, lollipops and crisps are children's food really so I get that impression.

[ThunderBullitt]

4 people left.

[ThunderBullitt]

He's going for that "there's an animal sleeping on my head" look

[GotsTricks]

Great friggen' performance. Don't get while there are comments about mess ups or switching lyrics. If you've ever written a song before or played several gigs in you life, you'd understand that after the hundredth time you've played a song a certain way you'll want to mix it up a little bit, especially if it's your song. Music isn't a set thing, it's something that blends and always speaks in different ways.

[HighRoad001]

has anyone seen the MTV live version where he says "Im not living, not livinggggg" it actually makes that part sound better saying it twice I reckon, even though it was a mistake :P.

[TooCooLFoRYou123]

@HighRoad001 thom seems to forget his own lyrics sometimes,IIRC that repetition was a fluke and as a musician always knows "never stop playing even if you've made a mistake"

[HighRoad001]

@TooCooLFoRYou123 yeah. he did make a mistake thats why he said it. But I actually thought it added to the song in a positive manner.

I really liked it, because now when i listen to True Love Waits whenever i hear that part and am following along in my head, i always hear the second "not living" even though its not in the recorded version.

[HighRoad001]

hmm. does he say 'To have you be in peace' or 'have your babies'?

[KFCBUCKETS]

@HighRoad001 to have your babies

[mxl812]

3:07 was that a fucking butterfly? wow how beautiful, out of all the moments in time, that butterfly chooses then to fly away..

[spencerdudd]

Am I the only person that feels that if they were offered to go see Radiohead, they would turn down the opportunity simply because they don't feel worthy to be in the same room as them? I have so much respect for everything they do.

[cynthiailly]

@spencerdudd i have alot of respect for them too but refusing to go to a show because you don't feel you're worthy enough is a bit much. nothing would stop me from going to a radiohead concert.

[KFCBUCKETS]

@cynthiailly i believe you interpreted him way to literal

[loufromlou]

@spencerdudd this is WAY over the top. Thom is just a human. Yes, he has the ability to enchant us with his beautiful tunes and amazing lyrics. But, he is just a human. Would you feel unworthy of being in the same room with let's say, Michael Jordan? Probably not. But he is like, the same caliber of a different skill.

[BorisVanMeurs]

What the heck, he is so different that I thought him to be... For one thing, he isn't the egotripper I sometimes thought I'm to be (sorry! I am a massive Radiohead fan and really like their, and this music but sometimes I feared Thom's succes would've turned him into an ass. It didn't. He is freaking awesome.)

[takovarra]

I don't get it how nobody sees the sarcasm in this song.

"I'll drown my beliefs to have your babies. I'll dress like your niece & wash your swollen feet. Just don't leave". This is about how people forget their own ideals & beliefs & mold themselves to suit the needs of those they love, only because they are afraid of being left alone. ----- not my words but they're GENIAL!!

[joydivided23]

@takovarra It's not sarcasm. He's just outlining the hypocrisy of True Love. We try change ourselves to some superlative ideal. Yet we only find true love in haunted attics. The fiction of haunted attics lends itself to the concept of true love. Ghosts will always be believed in by people, and so will true love. He is far from sarcastic. He is so earnest, in fact, it makes me cry

[roblowefan1]

@joydivided23 that's the most perfect word - earnest - he really is earnestness personified and he makes me cry also

[chemchampa]

good trick with his right eye on 1:04 haha. cool.

[JimmyOnLineProd]

You can see how radiohead has lost popularity on the last decade, people does not get excited as they were on some older videos. Such a shame, radiohead still is better that all the new commercial crap right now that people had prefered listening. Sad but true.

[TheBensont123]

@JimmyOnLineProd i beg to differ. radiohead is as popular as ever in my book. keep in mind that this crowd is probably filled with mindless hipsters.

[JimmyOnLineProd]

@TheBensont123 could be... but most people I know dont seem to know them, well, could depend on what place we are talking about

[joydivided23]

@JimmyOnLineProd You obviously have not seen them live in the last decade!!

[takovarra]

why are people laughing?

[dsfbosadbfasdbfosadb]

@takovarra

He got his words muddled abit

[LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF]

I'm not living I'm just waisting time... one of the best lyrics of all time.

[dsfbosadbfasdbfosadb]

@LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF

killing time :)

[UnholyMan122]

MisterMcYoutubre sees a butterfly, whilst I myself saw a moth...

[brutalsyndrome]

i wonder, what he's looking up?

[gundam272]

BEST SONG EVER!!!!GO THOM YORKE!!!

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

@Artingence Elefántok kanapé zongora Ég!

[cameronforbes4]

how is it possible to dislike beauty?

[shantdizzle]

just...don't leave.

[lasrarities]

@shantdizzle Lonely, longing

[iamawickedchild13]

to anybody that dislikes this video, although harsh to say - you have no soul.

[mjb565656]

@iamawickedchild13

I agree.

[fear0no0evo0]

@iamawickedchild13 coldplay fans



[TimSjoholm]

@iamawickedchild13

they're all gingers

[heavenhypoxic]

this man is the only man i could say i love

[clay180]

I love the fingerpicking.

[jshu1988]

@clay180 Where is he finger-picking? He's strumming the entire song with his thumb.

[clay180]

@jshu1988 I think I have to mark every sarcastic comment I make with *sarcasm* or something because it does not translate to text very well.

[BILLYBELFORD1]

All i can say is CLASS.

[kyledrums]

god damnit Thom Yorke...

[Artingence]

Damn.. here in Hungary i can't explain anybody, that how amazing Thom Yorke is... deaf bastards :D

[thehungryduck]

@Artingence Here in the US no one appreciates Thom Yorke either. Let them think what they want, if they're so deaf maybe they don't deserve it.

[Artingence]

@thehungryduck

True

[clbztf]

@Artingence kevesen vannak a beavatottak... :P

[Artingence]

@clbztf Ki vagy? Hol laksz? Hány éves vagy? Tényleg szereted Thom Yorke zenéjét? Ha igen mindenképpen barátkoznunk kell :D használjuk ki amink van :D

[clbztf]

@Artingence Hát hogyne szeretném. :D Egyébként iwiwen van egy Radiohead klub, ha megnézed, ott is sok hasonló fellow van. :D

[Artingence]

@clbztf Iwiw-en pont nem vagyok fent.. Facebook? Myvip?

[jemooo69]

@Artingence nekem egy csomó ismerősöm szereti, ismeri.. te vagy rossz közegben :D

[Artingence]

@jemooo69 Hát az lehet..

[krumplipucolo]

@Artingence well well...pedig vagyunk páran:)

[whateversunsaid]

"Your tiny hands" smiles "your crazy kitten smile" bite his lip.. smiles

[101commentary]

Just incredible. One of my favourite songs. Definitely my favourite love song - so from the heart....

[zep20]

and thanx to the uploader(tvoronina) for share this awesome performance with us!

Viva Radiohead!

[LEVRAIVRAIZEN]

[00Radiohead]

this song is so much more beautiful and amazing when you have something that you can think of as he sings :) does anyone know where i can download this song ?? i've looked in a few places but i cannot find anything...

[theracoonrangler]

@00Radiohead its on the live album I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings but you can just dirpy it or something

[pepsihockey05]

fantastic song, fantastic writer.... but does anyone else notice he looks a lot like Charlie from Lost? Just sayin...

[anaalcuri]

@pepsihockey05 No, I think he looks like El pajaro Caniggia!! Sorry, Thom!!

[pepsihockey05]

@anaalcuri the footballer? Haha I see it, but I'm more of a Brazil guy so I'm not looking for it as much...

[cazishere]

love this song so much.

[HurtStrings]

I hate when people cut out the applauds on videos...

[thehungryduck]

The "crazy kitten smile" line gets to me and just makes the song.

[alexkat124]

exelent!!!

[masterkakaroto]

Thom Yorke

Peinate..........

[JBrrou]

@masterkakaroto Chupadme el ano, mojón chorrón

[xxwill4xx]

This MADE my weekend, the Q to get from the campsite to the arena was HUGE it was insane! But so worth it! Legend

[eddieisnotavailable]

why is he playing in daylight? how could he possibly not be headlining a festival. thom yorke is a genius.

[warwolf49]

Beautiful song *_*

[hadar1g]

He's just effortlessly cool here, not focused on trying to be different all the time.

[xYsephiroth666Yx]

Your crazy kitten smile lol he says that?

[paulalex17]

@xYsephiroth666Yx yeah, he does

[tigertank901]

check out my cover of this song ,rate and subscribe, cheers:)

[197801233434]

v.nice song!!! love it

[rwizzard7]

thom's hair looks kick ass in this concert!!!

[allansak]

True love waits

[MCshlthead]

what was the audience up to. seemed to be entertaining thom just as much as he was them. good to see him in a good mood anyway

[thinktm]

Like Ed said during their concert in Rio "Do Caralho!"

[RasmusU]

Don't ever leave Thom

[mytchief07]

I love this song!!! it makes me feel... I don't know how to explain, but si beutiful

[ceridawn]

i love the butterly flyin about adds to the atmosphere of the song...

[MrMickeyZ]

your crazy kitten smile :)

[dswarlus]

no tienes madre Thom!

master!

[saxengee]

I love this... only ever heard 'might be wrong version' this is peaceful.

[NineInchNailsZero]

i'll drown my beliefs, to have your babies...

[Gambit1984]

He makes me believe every word he's singin. That's how a musician should be.

[sevillafc43]

I wanna be like Thom :(

[Gnaeus1]

@sevillafc43

Don't. You'll never be able to worship yourself as much as you worship him now.

[sevillafc43]

I guess youre right (;

[truerevolutionify]

I have watched this videos for many days, some days many times a day already. Look at his passionate face while singing and playing, making himself one with the music. And this song meaning really touches my heart deep. Thom Yorke has been, is and will always be one of my favourite musicians and political activists.

[Armistice0]

@ truerevolutionify Someone who understands Radiohead as I do.

[kenny182182]

Thom. you're one of the few people in the world to whom I want to say with all of respect and no pathos. just because I mean it.

Thom, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your existence

[killerblueberrys]

Right on, amen.

[lwesterman34]

@kenny182182 amen brother!!!!

[DiobloHunter]

Beautiful.

[MeekMisters]

Thom, man, Thom! Mmm. Always beautiful. Always meaningful.

[MisterMcYoutubre]

At 3:17 a butterfly flies across the screen. Irrelevent and all as this is to the video, it couldn't possibly go unmentioned.

Also, this song is fucking class, as is Thom Yorke, as is Radiohead. And that butterfly knows it.

[jondy3]

@MisterMcYoutubre

that butterfly knew what he was doing my friend.

[danielkkwon]

@MisterMcYoutubre his music brings nature together lol

[kittycupcakeXD]

I LOVE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS MAKING LOVE WITH MUSIC. its so beautiful.
