Thom Yorke solo - Latitude 2009 - True Love Waits

Thom Yorke performing True Love Waits during his solo set on Latitude Festival, 19 July 2009

[@BabysGotTheBends1995]

Thom always smiles while playing this song. Wish I knew what he was thinking about

[@squidwardtentacles578]

his wife, though he's probably not smiling about it anymore

[@MilesBellas]

"dress like your niece" "lollipops and crisps".... slightly comedic ?!

[@MilesBellas]

@@squidwardtentacles578 .....yes.....she left...... . The Radiohead frontman met Rachel Owen, an artist and Oxford University lecturer, as art students at Exeter University. The couple were partners for 23 years and had two children together, Noah and Agnes, before separating in 2015. Owen died aged 48, in 2016, after suffering from cancer. She had been in poor health that year but continued to teach Italian into her final months. Asked about being a father to the two teenagers, Yorke told Lauren Laverne, presenter of the BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs: “I can’t hope to be their mum but we’re all right. I’m just really proud of them both. It stuns me most days. I can’t believe they’re anything to do with me. They’re just such great people.” Owen was an internationally renowned artist, mixing photography and printmaking. Her academic work focused on Italian medieval literature. Yorke said: “When the kids’ mum died, it was a very difficult period and we went through a lot. It was very hard. She suffered a great deal and my ambition is to make sure that we have come out of it all right, and I hope that’s what’s happening.

this gets better meaning the longer thom lives. now he has second wife and MAYBE now its a true true love and he had to wait for that love 20years

[@thespyinthecab7538]

His voice is so fucking beautiful. . . . . . No one else sounds like Thom. I'm sitting here with goosebumps listening to this song and at the same time a little nauseous waiting for LP9. . . . . . I wish it would just come out already!!!!

[@jessschliebe26]

it did !!! :)

I'm laughing, crying, losing consiousness, being hyperactive, all at the same time. Seriously, whenever I listen to Him and Them, I feel like I'm in a super safe place, where I am myself. Thank You, Thom. Thank You, Radiohead, for making me feel safe.

[@zaheerpatel2449]

My infatuation with this song is scary. Also learning to play it myself now. Can't believe how hard it is to sing and play at the same time lol.

[@MachSea]

Practice practice practice. I'm sure you'll get it, boss.

[@miguelcortes7166]

Dude, same. This song is deceptively simple- I learned it in 5 minutes, but after 5 years, I still can’t get the phrasing and rhythm to sound like Thom. Oh well, I guess that’s another testament to his genius. Keep it up! :)

[@Transatlantic92]

2009 seems so far from here.

[@DannyMaller]

+Tak Nie How about now?

[@przemyslaw_polak_93]

I saw them live in 2009 and yeees, so far from here.... I was 16 back then, so many things happend in my life in those 7 years... Yet, the day I saw them live (for the very first time, and - so far - the very last) was one of the best I can remember.

[@francois2957]

hope you're going to the o'pener festival to see them again!

[@eduardolopes9882]

2019...

[@aksharjoshi3384]

Man, you're making me feel old

[@mattheesakkers4375]

I've gotta listen to this song every now and then just to hear another human being say to me.. "just.. don't leave.." I guess pathetic has met a new limit.. I'm just the lucky one to find it.. it's a great song that I'm happy to say I found by accident.. Everything happens for a reason..

[@MrJamhamm]

Matt Heesakkers Don't leave, my brother

[@simeonmihaylov8820]

Matt Heesakkers Don't leave man, just don't leave

[@DizKord1600]

Don't leave, yo!

[@callumalston5755]

Matt Heesakkers please don't leave

[@MrJamhamm]

The song's supposed to connect with you like that. It's raw and honest. It's not pathetic at all :)

[@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.

[@Erik-zd2oi]

Do you still feel that way? If so who are the other 4? Yes, i know how unlikely it is that you'd answer after 9 years.

[@anarchypanarchy]

Top one

[@thehungryduck3724]

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

[@orangefudge]

Definite the highlight of my year seeing Thom Yorke play, felt such an honor to be there. Such clever lyrics in this song, but then so are most of their songs, and as for his voice, sigh,, just beautiful

[@orangefudge]

Ahhh, he`s so beautiful, body , mind and soul, it does my head in. Love this song, it suits my cynical state of mind. bless you Thom

[@mmtz3051]

This song always gets me, regardless the version

[@almatsliah1]

They MUST record this song for their next album!

[@alexcesarin1]

your wish come true

[@jevon889]

Radiohead read your comment

[@simon-di7xt]

are you alive?

[@kwizzeh]

The first time they played it, Jonny played a synthesized arpeggio chords that lasted from the second verse till the end (also, there IS a video of it on KZbin, there should be anyways). The song hasn't changed much in the 15 years we've known about it. Heavens know how many times RH tried to remixed it but ultimately shelf it due to the fact they aren't satisfied with it.

[@cringlez1096]

They finally put it in an album though lol

[@WiBouz]

i hope my neighbours like this song...

[@anthonyjda5288]

Hhhhhhh

[@tchocky71]

I love this little man. Love him-love him-love him.

[@weez246]

You know, that is the most relaxed and smiling I've ever seen Thom look!

[@LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF]

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

[@LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF]

I dont know why ppl gave you thumbs down this is a bieutuful song adn it gives me goose bumps every time

[@Jockedemus]

I've had a really reallly bad day, been in too much doubt about stuff. Yet he only needs 2 seconds to bring me back. Thank you Thom, and thank you Tanja for uploading this.

[@MCshlthead]

this song is so beautiful, and its great to see thom happy

[@101commentary]

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

[@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!!

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

[@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..

[@groverct]

AMAZING

how is it possible to dislike beauty?

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. beautiful song.

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.

Holy crap! I saw that - weirdly my primary school Butterfly knowledge kicked in. It was a British Swallow Tail. I could just about watch it through my snot bubble weeping and memories of break-ups, first kisses, being seven and learning where Butterflies came from...oh god...

[@tessa5191]

goosebumps...

[@ghghghkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

Mate, seen both bands a few time aswell and couldnt agree more. Sigur ros live is awe inspiring but after a Radiohead gig, im left in a state of needing more - you just get so engrossed, the vibes produced are just so right. Thom is ace, but its the Radiohead are unique.

[@CKnightFly]

i was so unwell at this festival nothing was going to stop me from leaving performers camping and crawling to see this. he was hilarious between songs doing Simpsons And South park impressions. lovelovelove
