'True Love Waits' by Radiohead
there may be more savvy Radiohead friends out there who have got their mits on a studio version or alternate versions of 'True Love Waits', but most of us make do with the sweet but passionate performance on the live album 'I Might Be Wrong'. More of a Thom Yorke solo track, long before his solo material came out in The Eraser, it's built on an uncommon chord progression and ends on almighty climax as he thrashes his poor acoustic guitar in to submission. Thom's lyrics ring through painfully heartfelt and emotive. "I'll drown my beliefs....Just don't leave, don't leave.." Here, Radiohead takes the usual love-rejection song to a level of honest and believable bleakness, desparate raw emotions, the feeling of being helplessly at mercy to your own heart-strings, and having them thrashed in to submission too.
