Julian Casablancas is half American and half Danish and the son of John Casablancas and Jeanette Christiansen. His parents divorced when he was young. He attended kindergarten with future bandmate Nikolai Fraiture.

Early in his teens, Julian's father sent him to the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland. This was where Julian first met Albert Hammond Jr. , one of few other American students on campus.

When Casablancas returned to New York, he continued his education at the Dwight School, where he met Fabrizio Moretti and Nick Valensi. Julian later dropped out because he felt like he "just wasn't learning anything" there.

During his hiatus from The Strokes, he released a solo album called "Phrazes for the Young" on the 9th of November in 2009.

To date, the Strokes have released Is This It, Room on Fire, First Impressions of Earth, Angles, Comedown Machine and The New Abnormal.

I'll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave

I feel like people don’t really acknowledge enough that this is like straight up one of the saddest songs ever written

Ghost Rythm

2y↑1

how to disappear completely is really reeeeally sad too

LNLonelyness2

2y↑2

I find Street Spirit personally more depressing but True Love Waits does make you feel hopeless from the despondent melody it has

Big Phat Walrus

This is absolutely incredible holy shit. Sounds almost like a lost Slowdive song

A.K.

2y↑1

Radiohead and Slowdive are two 90s bands that somehow survived with all their members intact still to this day. Considering how many artists who made depressing alt rock at the time died soon afterwards, like Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Sparklehorse, Andrew Wood, etc. and how many bands immediately split up, it's pretty damn surprising.

Ivan Di Donato

Slowdive my love for eternity. So many strong emotion. Its like keep/kept fire from the knees. (Sono un disastro in inglese scusate)

I believe the release on 1:02 is what this song needed since its first release in 1995 and its many reworks since then, great work

Gavin Pang

Radiohead sounds borderline post-rock sometimes so this is perfect. Love the guitars in this. Thanks for making this downloadable! Wish it's on spotify.

pimposki

@emomu what about these are my twisted words?

emomu

2y↑2

htdc is their most post-rockish song

Casper

2y↑1

They sound nothing like post imo. Art rock is a better fit

Shashank Sudeep

You guys should check out Polvo, if you’re like into math rock, I reckon they pioneered the genre.

Jacob Lyons

@clement castro Blow Out (from Pablo Honey) preceded a bunch of what was to come in post-rock/Math Rock and adjacent bands for the next 10-15 years.

@PunPun yep, the "emptiness" of the original version fits the vibe of AMSP; beautifully quiet, serene, and subtle.

Dude, some of those guitar overtones are magical.

Great job on this.

the village idiot

2y↑74

Fuck I remember talking to a friend about Radiohead releasing a vaporwave or shoegaze album some time ago and now I find this. So fucking cool. Really hope to hear more stuff from you. Honestly has some late 90s and early 2000s Radiohead vibes

Kenneth C

2y↑28

I'm a songwriter/teacher, my favorite band is Radiohead and I've been heavily influenced by the Shoegaze genre. This is absolute musical heaven to me!

Vincent Cayzeele

2y↑2

Excellent version ! Would you consider that one of their b-side, "Permanent daylight", sounds like shoegaze too ?

Jacob F

2y↑31

Mate, this is amazing. I wish it were possible to put this on Spotify.

Joar de Baat

2y↑2

Use one of those oldskool youtube to mp3 tools! 😎

Serendipityy

2y↑30

i love how the reverberated sound adds to the dreamlike vibes and desperateness of the song as a whole, especially the "just don't leave" lines. awesome work!

Dan

2y↑2

percussion helps this version of the song immensely, I like it much more than the album version. That said, nothing will ever touch the original acoustic version

Eddy Yamato

2y↑8

Was not expecting it to sound as good or as creative, was expecting a comedic mashup like you see everyday on YT. Awesome job, it sounds so good!

Libys

2y↑23

Why every fan made version of this song is amazing?? First the 90s band version edit from live Live in Oslo and now this..

Nawfal Jafri

would love to see how this was produced or the behind the scenes of making this instrumental, it's so beautiful and perfect

Tocaraca

I like this much more than the studio version actually

Eduardo leite

This is, for sure, the second best version of this song.

@Alexander Malch In my opinion, the best version is the acoustic one.

Killer meter and timing drift between vocals and instruments! Just flipping awesome!( Dr Jay of The String Assassins)

True love waits is my most favorite song from RH and shoegaze is one of my favorite genre, and the combination of these two literally makes me burst into tears, this is way too good to be true, love it sooo much 😭💓

Dane Brennand

This is basically "Blow Out" Radiohead

I wish they would do this as an actual thing though. RIDE are another Oxford band who kinda helped pave way for them.

MinorArth

2y↑17

Brilliant ! I never really cared for that song, but this brings it something it was missing.
Very believable too, as sounds more like Radiohead from The Bends era (than Radiohead themselves !)

Moon Illusions

Check out the 1995 version of the song -- it's a rock version with an arpeggiating synth. So awesome

This is insanely good. Sounds much better than the cleaner studio version on moon shaped pool as a single. Though, as a coda to moon shaped pool the original is more suitable and inline with how Radiohead albums normally end.

Gavin Pang

@The Genre Guy what guitar effects and amp did you use in Guitar Rig? The tones are amazing!

The Genre Guy

2y↑12

For this song I used a virtual amp and effect plugin called Guitar Rig 6, because it sounded better than recording my amp with my low end mic. When I play shoegaze through my amp I use a Green Russian Big Muff, Memory Toy, and Mr Black Eterna (Shimmer reverb). I don't have a ton of pedals, but I will probably get more because I have been into shoegaze lately.
