All the world is green

[adsones]

on this stupid and eternaI search for some peace of mind, i have always crossed with this man and his genious voice (and especially this powerful song.



[rumvodkaf1]

For some reason, the more i listen to this song, the more i want to buy a prius.

[efyfe]

Tom Waits owes most of his career to the much better Captain Beefheart.

[webstercat]

@efyfe You shouldn't post when you are not on your medication. Tom could eat alphabet soup and shit better lyrics than beefheart.

[DrJamesX]

I dunno about that...I once went into the same bathroom stall after it was occupied by Beefheart. His stool was pure poetry.

[MsNicola2009]

[MissesWaits]

grün!

[psicodependencia]

magnamente la simpleza de lo básico, waits es un genio !

[WindBlownLife]

Oh gawd... "Marie, you are the wild blue sky; Men do foolish things. You turn kings into beggars and beggars into kings." Tom Waits is my lord and savior.

[thejimster108]

to me, tom waits is the only musician i've heard that plays every song as though he was dying and allowed to sing only one song. He obviously puts his heart and soul into every song, especially this one. This is such a beautiful song, from a legendary musician.

[pichotecla]

De una suavidad y ternura sin par.

[Benoist08]

any one know what the guitar is that Tom is playing . it's beautiful.

[itsagonzothing]

i think its a guild

[Skavb]

could be an old Gibson L-1, too

[calico992]

I'm not positive, but I believe the man playing cello is LEGENDARY pianist DAVE BRUBECKS son. (he plays on this album)

[pykomoose]

I dunno. The world looks pretty purple here.

[pontyhorse]

@pykomoose Fucking lol...

[gfelitti]

spechless

[jochembele]

Did he forget the lyrics, or is it just a "Waits-live" thing? He dropped the second verse, running the third 2 times.. What a song, what a melody, lovely lyrics & lovely voice!

[ThomasRuss]

jochembele: It's because he's performing at the end of a talk-show and had to cut down the song so that it can fit in the program's time.

At least I think so, if he really did forget the lyrics, that's funny :P

[groovebassist]

Im guessing he also dropped a verse cause he in on tv he usually does the third one twice..

[nyndrza]

I fell in love with that song while wathing The Secret Life of Words. glad I found it; amazing.

[ThomasRuss]

My God, this man is legendary.

[beerecan1227]

just take the time to listen to the words and then attempt to tell me this isnt the greatest songwriter ever. EVERY SONG IS BEYOND GREAT

[IKwonderwall]

so beautiful, it makes me want to cry

[plmooney]

An ex-girlfriend would not stop talking when I was trying to watch this on Letterman. Soon, it was over...
