Tom Waits - Hows It Gonna End

[dhmacko91]

best voice ever.

[zaperfan]

she sunk like a hammer into the lake .it just don't get any better .A lyrical genius

[joetz34]

Joel Tornabene was my uncle. As a Tom Waits fan, who found out about the fact that my uncle was mentioned in this song after I knew some of his more known songs, I am extremely proud. Such a great artist.

[meridance]

coolest of the cool

[WWSuperman]

tom waits to me is like the alcoholic leonard cohen.

[whitsoxdude]

Shit I need this album.

[MsPepper112]

[greenman22244]

2 people were born crooked

[MsNicola2009]

Tom is the father of real music, full of feelings...

[sackd18w]

Tom Waits is THE BOSS... man is a legend

[dinomp999]

TOM WAITS IS SO BOSS.

[steflula77]

How am I just discovering this?!

[LadyeXo]

@steflula77 When we all discovered Tom, we asked ourselves the same question. He'll consume you. Welcome to being a Rain Dog!

[noworries4me1]

i m in love !

[anguelroumy]

@noworries4me1 Me too ! With myself when I listen his songs! And with Tom Waits too ,too ....

[MetaballoMusic]

I love it...

[yeahsee33]

Reminds me of old Leonard Cohen Lyrics, with current Cohen Vocals.

[544325]

someone is def or dead or something tom is amazing

[zaperfan]

Tom waits is the best artist on the planet today .This tune just makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention

[Kimakae]

It's hard to balance song with pure poetry, and this song does it beautifully.

[kernalkearney]

the man is infacta geniusjust so i will try too have a little more faith in humans

[natlan]

you should see him live. he loves to perform. great music

[bacardi119]

God, I have an obsession with Waits, he is just genius.

[Thefinalfall]

feels sooooo good.

[stiggyh]

tom had thick hair in his youth but now a lot of its "real gone" hahaha ;) sorry tom

[poolpig]

@stiggyh Im wondering why you posted this did you really think it was cool? Do you have a censor problem with your mouth in real life.For instance blurting out things at inappropriate times or saying things that hurt peoples feelings. Seriously just curious

[stiggyh]

@poolpig it was a joke and i bet tom would like it !  you oversensitive

[poolpig]

@stiggyh Oversensitive? maybe but thats just rude, you think Tom would like a joke about going bald I dont think so its ignorant and dumb.

[stiggyh]

@poolpig yes thats what your comments are ... i love tom

[poolpig]

@stiggyh its a shame you cant answer withanything other than smart ass quips

[stiggyh]

@poolpig please go be a pig in your pool poolpig ... 

[poolpig]

@stiggyh Damn I wish!

[parade]

@poolpig No, you're definitely oversensitive. It's a dumb joke, who the fuck cares if Tom would like it or not? I somehow doubt he's checking his tracks on youtube and scouring over the comments getting all bent out of shape at dumb comments. 

[poolpig]

@parade whyd u take your time to make a dumb comment on a dumb comment. You must care about what I said just like I cared about the "dumb" joke. I hardly scoured it was at the top a month ago and if I did scour you most certainly scoured.

[parade]

@poolpig I followed a dumb comment back a page, hardly scouring. The scouring I mentioned had nothing to do with you...

Saying "you commented on a dumb comment, therefor you have nothing to criticize me for" doesn't really add anything to this dialog. All I was pointing out is that your your argument was useless and pointless in every way. Me telling you this being useless has nothing to do with that... but if you want to get defensive, go nuts. Unnecessary arguments seem to be your thing.

[poolpig]

@parade you said it was a "dumb joke" and telling people they shouldnt be so "touchy" by being touchy????? HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!

[parade]

@poolpig Once again, that's neither here nor there. Sure, I may be a hypocrite, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you got defensive and argued for no real reason what so ever. Over a dumb joke. Which was my point. You bringing up irrelevant crap and getting defensive just illustrates my point. Which is that the guy was right when he called you oversensitive.

[poolpig]

@parade Im sure people dont really want to read this how boring. I never denied being over sensitive but a hypocrite is much worse.

[parade]

@poolpig Once again, nothing to do with anything I've said. Me being a hypocrite and how bad it is relative to being oversensitive is irrelevant... you should read a book sometime.

You felt the need to make a random faceless internet user feel bad because of a bad joke, and I think THAT's a valid excuse to have this conversation,( in where I will call you fat and sad ) even if you want to call it hypocritical. (although I don't think you know what that word really means).

[poolpig]

@parade u talk about reading books? and meanings? u "attack" me for "attacking" them is that how you teach and my showing u u were a hypocrite was relevant because its not what you were speaking about me its what you were doing it was happening. Now u start with the name calling, well thats no surprise since youre defending someone else for doin it. Is yours a bad joke too? Is it an observation? Its funny I looked @ ur pro too and I c u like to debate. Is your nextmove to physically threaten me?

[parade]

@poolpig (that was hard to read, your typing style is bordering on cryptic) I would never physically threaten anyone, if you read my comments you'd probably notice that. But when assholes throw around names and shit on the internet because they can (like you ripping on that guy for making a dumb joke), I think that justifies me destroying them with sound logic, and properly written sentences. None of your comments are relevant to my point, which is that you ripping on that guy was unnecessary.

[poolpig]

@parade sorry it was hard to read but Im trying to keep it small as most wont want to see this. What I dont get is youre defending someone from me when thats what I was doing. You say it was a dumb joke but Tom isnt here to defend himself. I dont like people being made fun of or the butt of jokes etc.

[poolpig]

@parade and thats what youre doing from another angle

[haygastourian]

@igocomando "food for my soul." exactly my sentiment.

[slatan420]

This song WILL be played at my funeral.

[DecapitatedKittens]

@slatan420 I'm totally stealing your idea

[ironysteeth]

The slow intraspective growl really suits Waits the best.I like the nostalgia of the lyircs with the rough voice-kinda like the rough cheek of a father embracing me.

[ubivaka]

Моя любимая песня!

[adrENhReveld]

Tom Waits is my life

Like jockey full of bourbon

eases my troubles.

...nbd Tom Waits haiku

[disasterbydesign]

Ive heard his name all my life... and as an ignorant fool, i am smitten. Its like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Bob Dylan had a love child. So is this who les claypol is talking about?

[disasterbydesign]

Ive heard his name all my life... and as an ignorant fool, i am smitten. Its like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Bob Dylan had a love child.

[torketa]

this song reminds me to Roman Dirge :D no se porque xD..

[grafikanagy]

yeah it is fine. I very like this song, I agree it is food for our soul!

[Darrells15or]

Thank you Mr. Waits.

[alef1453]

we are talking abaut art.we talk abaut death,life,love,war,spoons,gun­s,broken down old movie stars..the world of tom waits is unique.his charakters broken,losing,full of passion.it makes you go of to the hell.he is comparible with dante or joyce...tom waits has a eternal soul........................

[IMthepassenger]

years ago... I was grieving over the death of Kurt Cobain. I believed him to be the greatest... . Even then I wondered? Was there better? Were there artists "underground", a "Hope Diamond" buried under the avalanche of shit that is popular...? My pursuit culminated in a scene in the film "coffee and cigarettes", when Tom Waits and Iggy Pop meet in a diner.

[andymouse123]

@IMthepassenger welcome to the world that is waits

[MacRoibin]

Tom and his wife, are Angels, not sure where they reside, did Tom write this?

Is it scored on my soul ? ,what a question eh ? , we all want to know

[torketa]

esta es mi favorita, me trae recuerdos x)

[Ashley4339]

One of my favorite songs and what a great picture!!

[ananoula]

♥ ♥ ♥

[andymouse123]

@ananoula XXX

[michaelbelfast1]

dont think i'll go to rehab now either lmfao too lol

[Batman081164]

Superb ... get it under your skinnnnnnnn ...

[SteelyVelvet]

ooh, lyrics please, someone! I really, really want to know how it ends!!!!

[slatan420]

@SteelyVelvet Instead of asking for the lyrics why dont you listen you stupid fuck

[SteelyVelvet]

@slatan420 Because, your Stupid Fuckness, english is NOT my mother tongue and I find Tom Waits' accent difficult to understand.

[JeebitJeebs]

@SteelyVelvet Thats what the internet is for...ever hear of google?

[poolpig]

@SteelyVelvet He's asking or wondering how he will die or how the story will end.

[SteelyVelvet]

lyrics please someone - I'm bursting to know how it ends!

[SteelyVelvet]

ooh, lyrics please, someone! I really, really want to know how it ends!!!!

[SteelyVelvet]

ooh, lyrics please, someone! I really, really want to know how it ends!!!!

[deansusky]

Should post lyrics to his songs cause they r so good

[Coalkey23]

"...and wishing for it only makes it bleed."

Brilliant!!

[DannyStealthman]

Does anyone know any other artists like this kind of Tom? I'm looking for the smokey sleazy back room of a bar sound. Any suggestions welcome

[MrQT]

Try some things from Nick Cave!

e.g. O'Malleys Bar....

[DannyStealthman]

Ah Nick Cave is quality, but I was looking for more obscure artists that I might know thanks.

[MrQT]

But in fact there is nothing like Tom Waits! ;-)

In my opinion Nick Cave makes similar music.

But you also can't compare bananas with apples...

[LadyeXo]

@MrQT Yes you can, they are both fruit!

[hootchieman5]

@jazzcloud - hi , do you know what album this is from ?

[dressedbythewind]

@hootchieman5 I'm pretty sure it is Real Gone, if you haven't figured it out yourself.

[hootchieman5]

@dressbythewind - Yhea , i figured it out already (: thanks for replying ! (:

[JoelTarnabene]

@DannyStealthman The sad thing is that you've probably come to the end of your musical search. Once you go Waits, nothing else will do. And there are no one like him around, sadly.

[gibson75lespaul]

@DannyStealthman A man I study music and ear training with, my teacher Erik Pointer. His brother Jonathan Pointer is a wonderful musician. Trained in Jazz and Classical guitar. He plays folk and a singer-songwriter styles of music. You can find his music on i tunes. You won't find his work on here, just covers. He is the greatest musician I've ever met. His voice is like a mix of Randy Newman and Tom Waits. An amazing musician.

[Coalkey23]

Tindersticks.

[TheShoeThief]

Ain't nobody like Tom Waits unfortunately. I've heard that Captain Beefheart influenced his sound. It's different but you might dig it.

[webstercat]

@TheShoeThief

Just a personal opinion but tom waits could eat a can of alphabet soup and shit better lyrics than beefheart.

[TheShoeThief]

Lenard Cohen maybe.

[geranymore]

old Tom i miss you

you traveled through many hearts

and u know about hearts

really mis you

[Gonzo82883]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Tommmmmmmmmmmm

[Magemastrtom]

And I want to know the same thing.

[devey28]

ever get that feeling?

the feeling.

thats like, oooooo thats jazz ;)

i love it =]

[ianos79]

respect to one of the greatest musician ever!

[radioandroid1]

Never been so turned on by a voice before I found this man.

[andymouse123]

never been so turned on by a comment just pray your a gal! heheheheh

[flowergirl4691]

keep on praying ..there was never a happy ending..so let's keep on praying for their souls

(i'm sorry if there is some bad spelling...

i'm still learning!!)

let's keep on praying!!!

[andymouse123]

spelling looks just fine..... let's all keep on learning....hmmmm....let's ease off on the praying ..tehehehe

mousey

OH!...yes ..nearly forgot(silly me)...you can make happy endings

[vizaric]

Listen to your favorite music from outa this great success, meet the people at the other end of the world, who think well, this is a double good luck! Nice to know that we are - an elite music lovers a lot of volume in all the earth! Hurray!

[eclipse561]

what?

[igocomando]

food for my soul.

mmm

im addicted to tom waits. and im never going to rehab.

lmfao

[SteelyVelvet]

ooh, lyrics please, someone! I really, really want to know how it ends!!!!

[gringodeltoro1]

@igocomando A rehab would definitely involve Britney Spears... Imfao

[igocomando]

@gringodeltoro1 stay clear of the spears !

haha

[gringodeltoro1]

@igocomando I know, it eats your brains and turns you into a mushroom !

[igocomando]

@gringodeltoro1 @gringodeltoro1 = D Ah man then your best buddy eats you thinking your a MAGIC mushroom. and then the cycle begins again.

[gringodeltoro1]

@igocomando Exactly !

[ge0rgeL1986]

@igocomando the best approach for waits songs.. food for the soul

[MadTomOfBedlam]

@igocomando i am the 100th person to like this comment, which is why i did it, that being said internet acronyms drive me nuts, they are the death of culture incarnate.

[paullymack]

@MadTomOfBedlam STFU! this is not the place for that argument!

[MadTomOfBedlam]

@paullymack why not? is this not the internet? were acronyms not used in the comment i liked? i feel that it is appropriate. also when someone says that they disliked acronyms is using one the best method for getting that person to (as it ought to be typed) shut the fuck up?

[JRuffinelli]

@MadTomOfBedlam

No, probably because they just wanted you to shut the fuck up, and that nobody really gave a shit that you were the 100th person. Here comes another acronym for you: BFD.

As you seem to be clearly aware of, this is the internet. Nobody cares about your (undoubtedly important *cough*) backstory behind clicking a button. It's a virtual button. Click it, or don't. It won't matter. And we don't need to get the scoop as to why you did or didn't. Enjoy the video. And, yes, STFU.

[sipes13]

Tom Waits is amazing!! :-)

[botbagel]

One crazy mutha understood my all 'black sheep', so anything less that an answer of 'blaaah bllaah basaahall..' whateva./...works....he doesn't give a rat's ass anyway.,,go it tom, go it

[sarrasta85]

super tom waits

[colgatesmile123]

This son is of the most beautiful ever written.

[clistere2]

anyone knows in wich album this song is?

[JoelTarnabene]

Real gone is the name of the album.

[untwerf]

'real gone' is the name of the album.

[NicoNoche]

the album is "real gone"

[animal90sFreak5]

this is some great stuff by tom waits,i like his stuff very much!

[GeneralPaccepa]

And I...want to know the same thing...

Everyone wants to know...

How's it gonna end.

[23flowergirl]

simonlennis, I find these types of comments amusing, you made me smile. Others may find them annoying, just saying...:)

[andymouse123]

hahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahha­hhahhahahhhahhahahahahhahahh lmao

[psilocybe4u]

almost without fail every song tom has ever written I can listen to it for years and continue to find new meanings

[FackYeah]

So what you are saying is that because I listen to, and enjoys, Tom Waits music, I have no soul?

If that's the case, well, better of as a soulless bastard then to end up like you. A narrowminded idiot who judge people for what kind of music the listen to.

[Dayberry]

I think it would be the opposite.... Tom Fans got a soul for sure... those solja boy fans are the soulless fucks

[LandoftheShanks]

@Dayberry AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SaricOsijek]

@Dayberry Soulless and brainless fucks.

[MultiMEGAHERTZ]

@SaricOsijek mislio sam da sam jedini hrvat koji sluša tom waitsa

[SaricOsijek]

@MultiMEGAHERTZ  Na svu sreću prijatelju,prevario si se. :-)

[kikikaramela]

@MultiMEGAHERTZ

nisi, :)

[lovac1983]

@MultiMEGAHERTZ E pa prevario si se,ima nas :-)

[shadowofmorgoth]

there's a resemblance to "house of the rising sun" here. not saying it's a rip-off, just obviously in the same key.

[hearypooper]

obviously you have no idea what you talking about

[shadowofmorgoth]

thank you for that insight, HearyPooper. your name strikes fear in my ignorant heart and makes me want to be a better person.

[JoelTarnabene]

maybe so. but he was right in his statement.

[PoetFang]

Even though they're not similar, this song is and House of the Rising Sun would be the two songs I would choose to die to if I were able to predict it.

[andymouse123]

you and me both my freind

[420IrishRasta420]

this and rain dogs are my fav tom waits songs. his music has such a raw feel. i love it

[420IrishRasta420]

its a shame that the coments to this amazing song have so much fagotry........... (to poster) thanks for video =D

[siavash2c]

Waits, cooles ever!

[joetz34]

This song rocks. Joel Tornabene was my uncle, and he was a friend of Tom Waits. I just thought it was cool to hear my last name in a song. I'm glad all of you enjoy this too
