[shrub74]

Ow, my soul.

[DrunkenRaging]

This is music?

[TheJoggman]

Heard this song on Murdoc's Pirate Radio Show on Gorillaz website!

Are there other songs by Tom Waits like this? I prefer his musical poetry to his regular songs, but the only other one I've heard is "What's He Building in There?".

Lovely video, by the way, my favorite part was when you stepped on that shelf of sand. I don't know. It was oddly appealing.

@AkaruAbsolution Try "9th and Hennepin" from Rain Dogs

[unclebreezybum]

@AkaruAbsolution Circus off Real Gone is my favourite

[Kilchattan7]

Suitably weird for a weird end to the week. My nutty directional driller mate just sent me this from some rig somewhere. out the way of the oceanic calamity though I think, and son also..

[PolishRoots]

FAR OUT yet ON TARGET !

[comvsky]

I liked your video overall, but the first ten seconds were the best to me.

[mjmcnult]

I'll go in up to here _____

[geoffreybeene]

@mjmcnult it can't possibly hurt

[peeedja]

Perfect video, man!!!

[antwilliams86]

Great video, but why all the garbage montage? Kind of clouds it up doesn't it? Isn't this song closer to being about failing at suicide or that kind of theme? Maybe that's just how I perceived it.... IDK... Rebuttal?

[greatwhitepolarbear]

Brilliant film

[smurfieboo]

My best friend drowned herself in the Baltic Sea a few months ago and after they found her body, I was considering doing the same. This song reminds me that it's not my time yet...

[MrByaeger]

@smurfieboo hope your still here. sometimes you have to look really hard, but theres always i reason to stay.

[smurfieboo]

great work

[ziginz]

[Komodoensis]

Love it.

[mechman4]

Why didnt god want to kill me today?

[JoelTarnabene]

kinda nice. I like your ideas. With a little more camerawork.

[limapal00za]

thats depressing :(

[mistarcraw]

lol

[jimjimjimjim1234]

hahahah

[armoredamadillo]

It's a nice piece of work, but does the song no justice. Keep on keeping on, though. Best of luck and all that jazz...

[titmouse0hehehe]

@armoredamadillo prrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiick

[pempintim]

this song is about flirting with disaster and surviving everyday life

[born2beblue]

I think it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide by drowning but who has second thoughts, so he blames it on the ocean instead.

[jimcharette]

nice job!!this fits so well with the music that you could have said it WAS on official Tom Waits video!!Awesome!!

[Rorshak1313]

I think if Tom Waits were to make an official video to this song this would be about what it was. This song is so haunting. Excellent work.

[Fionyac]

Brilliant. you really caught the tom waits feeling!

[brunobliss]

this music allways reminds me of someone inside a dead submarine miles deep in the ocean

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Tom would be proud! Very well done.

[thatmffm]

Brilliant.
