Whenever I listen to this song it makes me cry,it makes me still hope that one day my true love will come and I will finally be ok...this song is a torture but it's beatiful..
I didn't cry when my cat disappeared. I didn't cry when I had to drop out of school for the fourth time and realised I wouldn't graduate high school until I'm nineteen and my life is going nowhere. But this song...this song. I tear up every time. It's so sad. "Just don't leave"...it's the raw desperation in his voice that gets me. It makes me picture someone waiting forever for the one they love to feel the same. But they never will...
I love this song, I truly do. It describes my feelings completly, when you're just in love with someone that you don't even care if you're happy or miserable, the only thing important is that they're happy - with or without you.
Someone said this on another video of this song, but I can't find that one now, but I did notice that no one has pointed it out yet, so I'll go ahead and do it. It made this song mean a lot more to me.
Thom Yorke wrote the lyrics to this song after reading a newspaper article about a 5 year old child who was left home alone by his parents who went on vacation for a week. The child managed to live off of lollipops and potato chips for that week.
Most people experience sex, for better or worse. Many people experience love, some lucky enough to have a great love or two.
If you are looking for a song to tell you what it's all about... forget it. There is no playbook for sex and love... you just have to decide, with each experience, what's the best way to play the hand your dealt.
True love always waits, but sometimes it waits forever in vain. Love yourself enough to know when to hold and when to fold, live well, and maybe try again.
@wadesdead That's sweet. Experience is a good teacher, for better or worse; all old people sound wise to young people, and I'm getting older but still struggling and learning like everyone -lol! Hope love has been or will be good to you. It's quite a ride.
@Dctrlja Think I made the fatal mistake of telling her I liked her. Guys! Never tell girls you like them unless you know for certain that they like that sorta thing. Otherwise, keep your feelings close to the vest and wait for a more appropriate time. Like after you're married lol
@Dctrlja hahha classic!! all of this about love, music and who you really r in love to r shit!! thom thinks the same way! thats why he write and sings this way! hah
@Dctrlja Well you inspire me to grow some lady balls and finally talk to this guy I see at lunch :) I may fail, but better than never trying. You had to have some guts for that!
@diversaoemdobro b-sides are songs that are not on the original album but are recorded to accompany a single, or sometimes to create Extra Plays (EP)s. This song was only on a live album and therefore is not a b-side. Talk Show host is a b-side.
@FarmerHeard I'm sorry if I offended you, it was never my intention, I only do that because I secretly love you! It's so much easier to treat someone badly than admiting that you love that person...
I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school... I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy.
I wish we could all say B-sides instead of non-LP tracks because that's so much easier
Why should be a dislike button on this video, i mean, this song its so perfect that the only way to hear it its knowing the name, and if you know the name, its because you have a broken heart and this song fix it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i think thom yorke is a pretentious little fuck. Radiohead is no where near the brilliance of coldplay. chris martin makes babies weep whilst in their mothers arms.
It kind of upsets me that this is the only version of this song that I can find with great sound quality. I personally can't stand Thom's voice in it. The Brussels '95 version is so amazing but unfortunately the sound quality is a bit off. =/ Still, great song.
@MAtmanGS the lyrics "I'll dress like your neice is referring to "the difference between young and old when people start to dress sensible and act their age. this person is offering not to do that to keep the other".. those are thom's words so i assume that's right
radiohead captures something so serene and crushing within everything they do. Between this and Motion Picture Soundtrack, i could drown my heart out.
What a beautiful song, it gets me sad in a way, makes me think of my ex-girlfriend, with whom im still in love even though i havent seen her in months. sometimes i wish i could have her in my arms, true love... thats what i feel for her. beautiful song.
