Tom Waits - Midnight Lullaby

[rizlajones]

The piano part outro is just perfect. Perfect.

[latrelus]

whoa... I have never heard this song before and I am not familiar with his old stuff. His voice sounds totally different!! If somebody turned this on and told me it was Waits i wouldn't believe them...crazy how much he totally reinvented himself.

0 dislikes, that's how it should stay :)

TomWaitsの曲の中でお気に入りの1曲。酒飲んだ時に聞き­たいな。

[hejafish]

a drunken Dad coming home from the pub and tucking his child into bed, singing a lullaby and stinking of ale. and a child, wondering about the sadness in adults.. then waking up as one years later... hungover.

[cootaloot]

I love the story of CatfishSean and his junkie girl. Livin' the dream.

[goldenhopper]

As a teenager I would play this LP (Vinyl) as I lay on my bed after getting home from school. It was right about half way through this song or going into Martha that I would fall asleep. One of the great albums of our time this is... Thanks Tommy!

It's weird thinking of this as Tom Waits. I mean, when I think Tom Waits..... well, just listen to his children's story.

[Xae87]

@Vadergeek hahaha awesome.

[hollywoodisgood]

He looks like mugatu from zoolander here.

[wendyjo8367]

sweetness....



[heel666]

interesting that he plays the mockingbird tune starting at 2:53

[sebastosoulian]

@heel666 well it is a lullaby..

[oisinallen]

Tom Waits is a fantastic artist, and all of his albums are great.

But listening to this, I doubt that he (or anybody else) will ever be able to do anything as good as 'Closing Time' again.

@quiver444

Listen to the live version done some years later. Unbelievable. If you want it, I'll send you the MP-3.

[sclogse1]

send me a note...I'll turn you onto the live version of this song. It will blow you out of your seat. Completely different...different voice, etc. Turns it into something so beyond classic, so gripping...well, he's the master. The live version of this is tremendous...maybe done 5-6 years after the album.

[1foams]

this is such beatiful music, whatever way i try and some up how great it is i wont do it justice, my brain just kinda feels like its melting when i listen too it.

[CatfishSean]

I had never heard tom waits before, I had only heard of him. I had just gotten back from and incredible music festival weekend with my girlfriend at a place in west virginia. We had been battling opiate addiction. We went to the music festival in WV and got super high on MDMA and mushrooms and just had the most incredible weekend free of opiates. We reaffirmed the undeniable connection that had sustained us. Shortly after that weekend we where in the throws of horrible withdrawals.

[mightforright]

@CatfishSean uh. what does everything past the first sentence have to do with this song?

[c4r50n1]

@CatfishSean And we care because?

[TheReegar]

@c4r50n1 the guys just trying to share his experience of finding the waits. if you dont care, dont need to say anything do you?

[c4r50n1]

@TheReegar But I can and will.

[TheReegar]

@c4r50n1 oddball

[jabadabutt]

@CatfishSean nerd

[Estragogon]

@CatfishSean Cool story, bro

[folypers]

@CatfishSean get the fuck out

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@CatfishSean I cannot tell if this comment is made of win or fail.

[daner31]

classic tune from a classic album, it somehow reminds me of Paris on a rainy night, seeing all the lights and well-dressed revellers and not having any cares in the world...effortlessly sexy and stylish...bravo Tom, i salute you

[squiggyklane]

@daner31 i was 18 when i bought this. i was lookin for some of the raindogs and post- type gravelly stuff, so i was very let down. i dismissed it as 'billy joel type shit.' now it's become one of my all-time favorites from any artists; beautifully melancholy

[MrPozzoz]

@daner31 the french suck .... a shallow people like them couldnt write a song like this .... and jacques brel was belgian ....

[daner31]

@MrPozzoz alright man, you obviously have some personal thing against them....i know some cool french people, not all are shallow!

[JackGrider]

@daner31 plenty of cool French folks  they love the jazz man don't knock 'em all

[1diesel1]

@daner31 love Tom but Paris sucks day or night rain or shine
