Tom Waits, THE LEGEND.

[jedurkee]

Thanks very much for posting. Love Tom Waits, Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson, Norah Jones, ...

[KonekoD]

I love how her cover, while much "cleaner", still has that voodoo feel of the original.

[NienteScherzi]

COTE DE PABLO RULEZ!!!!!

[tangerino222]

[aloysiusdedalus]

Fucking classy...

[LewisJones1998]

Niiiiiiice double bass sound. That' some jazz band.

Krall has the rustic vocal edge.

[MsNoisette92]

nice voice, sexy...

but tom waits does it best.

love this song <3

[Brasik1]

Top.

[cassopia09]

Love it! Love it! Love it! Kudos Honey.

[bigkolibri]

Check out Billy's Band version...

[ubermlin]

I get the shivers everytime I hear this.

[schnippchen1]

I love it so much.. very expressiv....

[akinna84]

Coté is much better, you can actually feel the temptation in her version. Brilliant

[RFDlic]

Forget it, Coté sings like a nunn, sxxual unexpirienced.

Look for this:

"Me singing Tom Waits/Diana Krall- Temptation"

by mydogsingstoo. Nice voice, much appeal!

This one I find much more sexy, than Cotè maybe. Maybe that's a "Pavlow-reflex". Because looking at women in such shirts much more often ends up in sxx 4 me.

Of course Diana knocks them both down.

[AkardiKrissiJoe]

sooooo bad!!! honestly i love the song but that cover??? aweful.... listen to cote de pablos version in ncis... beautiful!

[rose61au]

Love it !

[chowsschow]

awesome..like it al ot

[patheticlittleshit]

she turned this song into something marketable. ew

[boboo36]

tham i hella miss spell alot things!!sorry everyone u get the comment!! lol

[boboo36]

personally i get this video, all the different pictures are not unnecessary because this person is actually showing us what is could be tempting in life. The nice car,chocolate ice cream, a bottle of a cold white wine zinfandel,and of course money! makes perfect sense to me! but of course everyone has their type of temtations.

[InBy9OutBy5]

Video: I don't mind seeing shots of the composer Tom Waits, but all the other shots are BS and are unneccessary.

Audio: VB & WW do a better version than this. They are very underrated. And this one here gets all the attention. Unfortunate.

[1andoneis3]

1st time i heard this on the radio...i had to leave the car on until she was done...

[decebal1969]

baby

[onepiece4888]

WOW,,, from the first time i heard this it touched my heart.

[pcburke2]

Sultry, personal, vivid, smoky and soft all at once.  I remember temptation and giving in and at another time running away. I enjoyed both experiences and Diana Krall helps me to remember them ever so deliciously....aaaaahhhhh

[pcburke2]

I don't know who the guy is at the very beginning and very end of the video; but we sure could do without that mess. It is distracting and take a few seconds to get into the video. At the end, it abruptly breaks the mood of the video. I want to go away with the video sliding about in my mind and in my heart

[CGimaging]

Hey pcburke2,

Regarding your complaints: The guy at the beginning, middle and end of this video is the infamous and legendary "Tom Waits", the author of the song. Do some research and then check out this video again.

Regards and thanks,

Charles

[LandoftheShanks]

@CGimaging LMFAO! I'm glad you responded because I was about to go off on that person ha ha ha. But I think this woman needs to lay off the song because it is supposed to be demented not "smooth" sounding like this. He was going for morbid, not processed cheese.

[alinthebest]

@CGimaging I dont't give a fuck who the guy is. I came here to listen Diana Krall, not that noisy piece of shit.

P.S. I know he's the author, but the title says Diana Krall, not Tom Waits.

[JRuffinelli]

@alinthebest

Well, without that "noisy piece of shit", you wouldn't get to hear her sing shit she couldn't write herself.

Some fucking logic on this chode. Next time this comes on in the elevator at your little corporate button-down desk job... hang yourself with your necktie, you testosterone-lacking, comb-overing, shoe-lift wearing turd.

And damn the bastard who put this song on the Tom Waits playlist I was (up until this point) enjoying.

[srichards2222]

Dude...that is Tom Waits, the person who wrote the song! He's a very strange guy but an awesome songwriter. Many people have covered his songs and had huge hits with them. Check him out.

[Herebebears]

Haha pcburke2, This is a great version, but seriously, that 'guy' (you must be joking) does this song better than anyone. Period....Hellish!

[MrNexusfly]

@pcburke2 you must be fucking stupid,

that is Tom Waits the writer of temptation and various other good songs.

If there isn't anything usefull you can write as a comment.... just shut up.

[Greesovith]

@pcburke2

Idiot

[himrawkz]

@pcburke2 haha pwned

[binnyman]

And she...she...she MARRIED Elvis Costello ?!?!?!?!?!:P:P:P When she could have had ME ?!:P Oh,Jeez, to hear her voice purring in your ear.......waaaaaay over the top :D And a really pianist as well.......Oh, Diana sing me a torch song, willya...........Awesome bass, BTW Peace:-)

[JoyCeLy4ev]

it FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[higheriam]

Heres to Persistence of Resistance...

Thanks CG

[jillbabes180]

i think this version is ok,..... but cote de palbo/ziva's is soo much better i think its because she changes language and she sounds better and she looks better tooo lol :D

i hate tom waits version it is awful ... but thats just me lol

[prueunknownsoldier]

i def agree..plus cote isnt trying so hard to be "sexy"

[stfoo]

I think that's what it is. I don't like Diana Krall precisely because of this 'forced' femininity. Ziva has it naturally :) BTW -- I don't watch that show at all.

[prueunknownsoldier]

yeah Cote definitely has it more naturally lol...

[lecturerob]

That bass has Sharon Kane written all over it grrrrrrrr......... lol.

[DonnaInCorriera66]

la canzone piu' bella...

[nathanaway]

buenisima versión

[tansypool]

Both versions (Cote de Pablo and Diana Krall) are good, but I think I prefer Cote's... plain old prefer it, heard it first (I tend to like the first ones I hear better), and there's an explosion at the end.

[grendizerzero]

the "Ziva" version I think is cooler cuz it contains the french part, which makes the song THAT much sexier. but the "my will has disappeared" part of the original song is somethin else...

[IKwonderwall]

diana krall is somethin' else

[Vampirstone11]

Aw... Diana sings it sooo much better than Cote/Ziva. :) I love the song. :)

[randompersons1988]

i think cote/ziva sings this better.

[Vampirstone11]

No I think she doesn't. Although I'm a big NCIS fan (Cote is my third favo), I guess Diana is better. :) But Cote looks much better than Diana anyway. :) I loved her dress. :)

[MyOwnFan1993]

Her dress was awesome... I still like Cote's version better, because it has the French in it, but that's just me.

[pamrai01]

I like this, great music, lyrics and message, thanks Charles

[chrissheridan714]

Nice work - an interesting balance with your SG art...speaking of Tom Waits, I have heard that the dimensions of box of Marlboro reds contains the golden mean...

[CGimaging]

Hey Chris,

Because of your fascinating comments, I actually left my hermetic cave to purchased a box of Marlboro Reds (a very expensive TEMPTATION) and measured it. And NO, I can not find any Golden Mean relationship in the box.

Phi Ratio (Golden Mean) = 1.6180339....

Width of Box = 55 m.m.

Hight of Box = 83 M.M.

That makes Marlboro Red box about 6 M.M. short

My larger question is: who starts these goofy rumors?

And now I have to smoke these things! Really GOOFY!

Regards,

Charles

[theduderinok]

very cool Charles :)

[CGimaging]

From "Temptation" by THE vagabond poet Tom Waits:

"Everything is made from dreams".

[chanisco]

I love it, Charles. It was nice to see the reappearance of the concentric circle coins. :)

[CGimaging]

Hey chanisco,

Wow! I didn't see that but yes. It must have been a subconscious homage to my own video "Sacred Geometry 101A: 7 Pennies".

[Adeledk7]

Very seductive- and so in spirit of the theme- TEMPTATION. It makes me think of the Hero & Heroine's journey. Every hero's story relates their experience with temptation. Our temptations are the insights to our shadows. And only by dancing with with our shadow are we able to deepen our relationship with the divine- the wholeness of who we are!

[OrbitalSponge]

Great vid! The falling apple suggests to me 'the fall', and is linked to sacred geometry because the apple contains the pentagram or five pointed star, which is used to symbolise the elements in harmony with spirit at the top, unless it is reversed (fallen?)with spirit at the bottom and materiality placed over it (given precedence). Upright looks like a person standing and reversed we stand on our head,. I don't think we can do that for long without getting dizzy lol, as with temptation.

[jloreta]

This visual music interpretation is creative & alluring. I like it. This IS different coming from you though. How does Sacred Geometry relate to temptation or where you just having fun with the music? I believe to understand the ONENESS of the Universe includes our need to deal w/the humaness of our lives. I see this video as an extension/expansion to your other SC videos. Perhaps it is not as "educational", but still very inspirational, thought provoking, & entertaining. More?

[CGimaging]

Hey jloreta,

Thanks for your thoughtful comments. You pretty much got the idea behind this music video. And yes, I was having fun and plan to create more music videos.

Love and light,

Charles

[CGimaging]

How can we rise to our highest potentials if we can not successfully deal with TEMPTATION?

[opinionhead444]

Slick video, I like it much.

[opalzone]

I like it!
