is this Tom Waits original video for this song? Or is it an unofficial one? Its excellent, theres a few excellent unofficial Tom Waits songs animations on You tube.
First time I heard this song it was in my car. I was driving somewhere at night, but I pulled over to listen to it again with my full attention. Then I hit replay on it about 55 times until I had every note & word memorized. Obsessed with this song.
Tom Waits astounds me in that he has so many fantastic songs, and I keep stumbling upon more and more. This one, particularly, is beautiful. As is the video. I need to go buy Blood Money, now.
He sounds like he's singing along with a music box after gargling with bleach and smoking 20 cartons of cigarettes. Absolutely beautiful. :) THIS is music, kiddos. Your Miley Cyrus crap will NEVER compare.
What album is this from? I own "Closing Time", "Small Change" and "Frank's wild years" and they obviously aren't on there. Is it on one of his much later albums?
I am in a Portuguese saloon drinking johnnie walker, listen to Tom Waits on my phones, watching sailors picking up wash out prostitues and thinking at my girl
Blood Money is the the only Tom Waits album i own and i bought it on the strength of 'Gods Away On Buisness' (which was the first song i heard by him) and ended up falling in love with all the songs on it. a great great album. thanks for sharing
@derneueuntergang cheers mate, i'll check it out! i'm glad i got your reply to, gives me an excuse to hear this song again! hehe. thanks again, for that!
@realiamarebus "time is just memory mixed with desire" is my favorite, but every line of this song is poetry. I could listen to it 100 times and pick up some new understanding. Unreal.
In the age we live in, it is hard to separate profound from coverd shallownes, the moments when you are not avere of the force wich make your nerves forget so your eyes forget to blink, that is when you are the seperating link betwen the two, and that is when you found nature of a given art. Absolutley breathtaking.
great video. this has got to be my favorite song from blood money. thank you. a hundred times thank you.

When people ask me my religion I tell them I'm a practicing Waitsian. Tom gives my spirituality a voice, a melody, a lyric.

Great song by Waits! Everything he creates is timeless. If you enjoy Tom Waits you should come check out my cover of Chocolate Jesus on my channel.

How many quotable lyrics can one song have in it? I swear every song I am just amazed by. "And a barman will always understand." is merely one.
I saw Bob Dylan in concert and went home and put on Tom Waits full blast all night long.
