Tom Waits - All the world is green

[pasaysown]

@russkajahouse slap yourself

[nickmcgivney]

Occasionally somebody knows how to put a goddamn visual together for a goddamn great song, and you my friend put together a visual that Mr Tom Waits ought to be proud of. Your nicely worked minimalism is perfect. God damn.

[gfhomeless]

foda pra caralho.

Tom is great!

the work of waits' has such amazing variety. his music can make you feel every different kind of emotion, good or bad. he is a treasure and the coolest guy in existence. cant wait for his new album!

[pchiroiu]

Şi tătă lumea-i verge....

[juve0nile]

Que grande Tom! Un respeto.

[idicula1979]

I am such a loser and it gets me in such a funk to know that I an stuck in that state of being, but when I listen to this song it's like that doesn't matter anymore.

[stephenlockard]

@idicula1979 You can stop being a loser right now by changing the way you think about yourself; you control your thoughts, your actions, your ambitions...your future. Have this music be a part of your inspiration. Engulf your life within positive parameters, be those people, places, ideas, institutions, in essence, your environment. It's up to you! Act!

[idicula1979]

@stephenlockard Well, Thank you for that words of encouragement.

[deansusky]

The strongest lyrics come from Tom,

[kil2gore]

Hooray for Tom Waits and fans!! Neil Young made the presentation inducting Tom Waits into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 10/2011. A true core artist recognized in his time. And he's not slowing down at all. He's more involved than ever with other projects and charities. Weirdo and common man's hero!

[Pcian75]

strasznie fajne ;(,,,

[palestine0anarchy]

[RusskajaHouseMusic]

i heard this song yesterday on the woyzeck-musical in hamburg the first time. the actor felix knopp sing the song much better and with more emotion than tom waits, but the song is great !

[idicula1979]

I'm not quite sure what this song means, but I like it. This would be a perfect theme song to a Twin Peaks type show.

[FlavioSousa35]

I love Tom Waits. What a voice!

[comatosecollin]

Simply the best. Every time.

[8DolceNera8]

"Well I don't need anybody, because I learned, I learned to be alone"!!

[143hooligans]

Food for thought....

[TheLilyofthevalley26]

Uwielbiam tę piosenkę!

[poolpig]

I half expected the stop light to change to green the 1st time Waits says it cheesy? maybe.

[morgaffi]

I'm so damned glad that I lived while Tom Waits was in the world...

[Boswellist]

"The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer's day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten."

Mary, you are the wild blue sky.. And men do foolish things, you turn kings into beggars. And beggars into kings..

[vibekeferree]

Face forgives the mirror...

Clarinet sounds sooooo soothing.

[carrolinelynch]

Goosebumps.. from the music you mean, listen to the lyrics more closely 'Men (sic) into Beggars????

Where did you get your quote from?? Tom's diction ain't that bad.

[wellpend]

Genius,  How does that feel?

[612franklin]

That's a Mystery Milkshake Served in Waxedpaper Cup. What Could It Mean?

[pianomanthesecond]

This song is in the film 'Le Scaphandre et le Papillon', and accompanies a really really beautiful scene. What a film, what a song!!

[DelusionDrive]

I had a dream,

i took lucidity as a fact,

as i waundered the walkways of a dream/real city,

and i heard a lyric,

having typed it into google

i found this.....

[woolgatherer08]

your comment kicks ass

[xPorcelainLolitax]

I hope it's not too painful, then. xD

[Charlie121212]

Nem acredito que foi um português que meteu esta música... devo dizer que estou surpreendido.

Uma excelente escolha. Para mim a melhor de Tom Waits.

[sebei]

this is my first time listen tom waits

i love this song so much

but i don't understand y he sings this song so differently compare to other songs

[fman707]

Wellcome to one of the most original american songwriters of the past 30 years! Originality means diversity. That answers your question. At the same time time, you will find a common thread in all his songs. I don't want to set you up, go and find out what he has maintained over the years.

[ObsidianSin]

~Smiles~... So well said.. Bravo ~claps~

[skulleton]

@fman707

Along with Richard D. James, he's one of the most original artists alive.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

Just heard it in the film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, very moving there too.

[aaronbygrace]

hes balancing a diamond on a blade of grass is a reference to god in another song called bottom of the world

[Ezkece]

We can bring back the old times again and old the world is green...My respects maestro Waits...My accent is Spanish but your music is the world as you all can see

[Serob77]

Man this is some brutal metal.

[somichl]

Great thanks and big respect for this thing! Love it still I had heard it first time a few years ago... it touch the soul for a long time after sound is out.

Excuse my English, my native is Russian

[FilipeRMartins]

[MrSarkoma]

El mejor. Te deshace el tuétano y lo vuelve eternidad y melancolía

[KoreaForeigner]

[svenderikengh]

tom waits for something nice - this is a cool song

[dammann6000]

great song

[mariposa381]

this song also reminds me of Robert Frost's poem, "nothing gold can stay". I think he might've been making a reference to it.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

What come to mind is Tom Waits discussing Robert Frost with Roberto Benigni in the film Down by Law.

[mariposa381]

this song was made for me. ha!

[querkopf]

really love this song. My most favourite song my Tom Waits. The melody and lyric really touch me.

[querkopf]

this is my most favourite song by Tom Waits.

Dont know how to describe into words how much I adore this song. Melody and text really touch me.

[jerlevick]

Tom Waits is a machine of pure awesome. And this is what he produces.

[vaniasanji]

Magnifico, si la lampara se hubiera prendido al final hubiera sido simplemente Maravilloso!

[emilianavilla]
