  • lol inspired to the nth degree!

  • Isso é lindo!

  • I LOVE Tom Waits forever !... Michael

  • I think this is one of the loveliest videos I've ever seen

  • OOOOOooooooooohhhh! Beautiful and sad.

  • ahhhh :0)

  • i'm so in love wit this girl.

  • Every now and then, the song you 've been waiting for suddenly strikes you. The song you need and cannot be described.

    Less 'is' more.

  • IT´S A SONG FOR A WONDERFUL AND SLEEPING CHILD !!!!

    SLEEPING IN PEACE AND HEARING THE ANGELS IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT !!!

    GREAT MR. WAITS !!!!!!!!

    THE POOR AND SMALL HEARTS PEOPLE WILL WAIT TOO LONG TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND YOUR MAGIC FACE, MR. WAITS...GOOD NIGHT !!!!

  • @frankbar007 I like to think that the song is Alice as an old woman recalling when she was swept off to dream land as a young girl. Now she's much older and feeling so separate from the life she was once a part of

  • @Mackers2317 Perfectly stated, and a beautiful concept. Salut!

  • @Mackers2317 you're in denial!

  • A truly beautiful tragic song sung with great tenderness and made all the more poignant by the roughness of Mr Waits' voice. The video is beautifully simple and crafted extremely sympathetically to the content and timings of the songwords and music. This brings tears to my eyes. Well done to all concerned.

  • sheer beauty! what a song!

  • Tom Waits - all human life is here, How do you convey a song like that so tenderly with a voice that sounds like you have been gargleing nails for 40 years? He occupies about 2% of my MP3 player and gets played 95% of the time.

  • Super!

  • Diving bell and the butterfly :)

  • Well, think this song is about a couple together a long time. Cuz this is how it gets. But with more yelling. Why is it only Jacques Brel mentions the yelling? Yelling, posturing, in front of the kids, despite the kids, the suitcases. The boredom and restlessness. The other love interests. Somehow, Jacques Brel is the only one who threw it all into one song. It's called Chanson de Vieux Armants.

  • great song great clip...love it ..thanks for sharing. Want to see more....

  • A black screen would have fitted the song better. Tom Waits doesn't need a visual aid.

  • beautiful

  • Wonderful - rich & creamy

  • It may have been an accident, I'm sure, but the way the girl in the video blinks in time to the final piano chord feels like a masterstroke. How anyone could call this video 'cheesy' is beyond me. It's sublimely beautiful.

  • this is not a song.this is a computerized axial tomography scan of my thoughts and emotions.please tell me doctor Tom Waits what do you see?

  • Not many songs about old loves. This one's pretty good. Leonard Cohen and Jacques Brel have some very good ones. Now, I love Waits. Think these all guys are in the same category. But Brel perhaps had the best of these few songs. Somehow he included in one song about an old love the anger, betrayal, infidelities, boredom, reslessness, children, fights... the range of shit in old relationships.

  • Viva Tom. Beautiful. :)

  • Sheer genius - more beautiful every time I play it. What can I say, I'm in love with Tom! Where have you been all my life?!

  • Time wounds all heals, good video and excellent song

  • Beauty is simple but hard to express. I thought the concept of the video alone was really nice work.

    ... on both sides of the camera.

  • cheesy video. good waits song.

  • great voice

  • This woman looks like the Pietá (Michelangelo) and this song makes my heart ache.

  • simple, beautifully executed video. cheers!

  • One of the greats. A novel in less than two minutes. Only a handful of artists can do that and carry it off. Tom is one of those. Gary

  • Beautifull.

  • You haven't looked at me that way in years, but I'm still here.

  • Possibly the most beautiful song ever written.

  • この歌いい〜!最高〜〜〜♡

  • just gorgeous.............

  • so, so, nice!

  • This song is breathtaking.

    It's amazing. The shortness of it is part of why it makes such an impact. It just smacks you in the chest and then fades away.

  • You haven't looked at me that way in years

    You dreamed me up and left me here

    How long was I dreaming for

    What was it you wanted me for

    You haven't looked at me that way in years

    Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear

    Someone turn the lights back off

    I'll love you til all time is gone

    You haven't looked at me that way in years

    But I'm still here

  • The blink is the best.

  • nice hair, creepy soul

  • I fall for beautiful eyes every time

  • Τό μουνάκι της.

  • 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' brought this song to my attention! Beautiful piece and great vid! Well done.

  • even though it's short, this is one of my favorite Waits songs.

  • That was really very pretty.

  • such beatiful eyes... WOW!!!

  • You just made this song better. And I didn't think that was possible. Just beautiful. Congrats.

  • What a novel approach; kudos to you and the lovely lady. This framed the song perfectly.

  • Oh wow! that was lovely... thankyou..

  • I'm in love

  • wow..this vid was very moving

  • Why are "You" Stil there lady?

    Very good video. Simplistic rules.

  • @Someguy1975 Damn.....

  • cant wait to play this to my future xwife :)))

  • ... i .. i ..cant whrite anything ..

  • not if you can't spell!

    (wakka wakka wakka)

  • Excuse me Mr. I'm a bitchy grammar freak who has nothing better to do than to comment on other peoples misspellings rather than to comment on the video you are watching

  • First things first - I wasn't correcting your grammar, I was correcting your spelling. Grammar deals with the syntax and construction; to critique your grammar would be to call out the flagrancy of the run-on sentence posted above (or below, I don't know where this will end up). That being said, I think it's a pretty good joke, and if you can't find the sublimity in the humor, poo on you. Loads of it.

  • the only things you proved with that comment is that you have a lousy humor .. and a grose poo fetish.. u suc ..

  • Where can I find the trailer for 'diving bell' with this on it? Anyone know?

  • wow..

  • Heard it in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". I am glad to hear the whole song. So beautiful and sad at the same time.

  • mesmerising

  • Lovely video, simple but so very effective.

    Attractive girl, and the timing of her blink at the end, with the piano, was spot on.

    The song itself is immensely powerful. A gem.

    As is the album ALICE, from where it came.

    Many thanks for the idea, and for putting it on here.

  • Beautiful.

  • Wow. One of Tom's best songs and a mesmerisingly beautiful video.

  • Moving piece of music and video. I'm touched.

  • Increible...tremenda cancion y tremendo video...felicito, aunque poco valgan mis felicitaciones, a los realizadores...

  • Elegant. Simply elegant.

  • Whos the girl?

  • I love it

  • Jesus christ, how can you listen to that and not well up? that song floors me everytime, great video too. compliments the song perfectly

  • This video is actually quite empty.

    Simple.

    But very beautiful in it's simplicity.

    I love the concept.

    I've never heard of this artist.

    Tome Waits?

    Interesting.

    I will have to look him up.

    Great job.

    It's lovely.

  • Tom Waits, not Tome Waits.

  • Let me just say that if, by chance, you left this video here for someone you care deeply for, then anyone would be more than lucky to recieve it!!!

  • bravo

  • I like the part when you leave her face....and show foggy visual ambiance. It's a bit too literal for me to enjoy it.

  • Gorgeous. A great compliment to Waits's song.

  • WOW. well done. 5 stars.

  • Ah Christ, boys. I'll admit it. I just 'bout cried there.

    It's not really the video, but that song just kills me.

    I've been dreamt up and left behind before, and I'm still waiting to know what she wanted me for. Glad ol' Tom was the one to write this number here 'cause he nailed 'er.

  • simple concept, clean conducted and oh, great song! melikes

  • Thank you for this. Nice use of Waits music, it's very personal for many :)
