The Song That Took Radiohead 21 Years to Create

Radiohead debuted "True Love Waits" in Brussels in 1995 while on tour for The Bends. They tried to capture it in the studio for OK Computer, then again for Kid A and Amnesiac, failing at every turn. Yet fans LOVED it. This is the story of Radiohead's 'secret song,' "True Love Waits," and how things finally came together for their 2016 album A Moon Shaped Pool. The result was unexpected. The result was perfect. The result was worth the wait. 👉 Subscribe for More Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermaker/?sub_confirmation=1 ✉️ Read the transcript & hear the music on the Poetic Wax Substack: https://poeticwax.substack.com WATCH NEXT: ✓ The Meaning of "Fake Plastic Trees" https://youtu.be/UjzAvjWhuCA ✓ The Story of The Bends: https://youtu.be/gLQLpKIZrgc ✓ The Story of Kid A: https://youtu.be/zSLlfuatiQc 🎥 Radiohead on the Poetic Wax Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylroYWVYWWVUIWVFqMuPRxWfHae3_CBr Get Radiohead on Vinyl 🎧 https://amzn.to/4opDqAr Poetic Wax is hosted by Andy Fenstermaker.
