To those commenting on her lack of emotional link to the song: Please note that this is recorded when she was 18 or 19 years old! Please listen to her newer songs, especially from the album Fisherman's Woman.
i already have her album "merman" ...include your email address when you leave a message so that i'll know where to send the album..thanks :) love the song :)
@LillianLove1994 No, I don't, LillianLove1994! I think she has a good voice for lightweight pop music, but at an emotional level I find her singing limited in expression and lacking in life and variety. To cover Tom Waits convincingly, you need to be a good storyteller and have an emotional "range" to your voice, and I think this cover shows she's lacking in both.
I like her voice and phrasing. Reminds me of Melanie sometimes.

Yeah,Tom Waits' original will always be superior, but I heard this version first. I guess it will always be closer to my heart than his :)

So phenomenally emotionally mono-dimensional compared to Tom. Yuck...

Why bother, Tom's will never be surpassed and she's not that remarkable, I sing better in the bath.

@Scriabin28 Oh, well I totally get that. You have a good point.
You're right, she has a good voice but there's no emotional link to what she's singing.
I didn't really notice that before you pointed that out,

@Scriabin28 Wow, haha. Its crazy how musical taste can change in 5 months. I used to think she was great,
and just a couple days ago my boyfriend had me listen to a lot of Tom Wait's music. I fell in love with him,
And now I can see that this woman really is nothing compared to him.

This is fantastic - I can´t find words for what the smoothness of her voice does to me - I love it. - I´m sold.
I´ll check her website out and buy all her CD´s :-)

Thanks for posting !
This is absolutely the best vocal I have ever heard for this beautiful Tom Waits song.
She has just got one more new fan.
Emiliana sounds a little like Melanie Safka from the late sixties.
