Tom Waits - Ruby's Arms

[mnewland]

makes me cry every single time...... perfection.

[benkit49]

@JE2361 Yes, my dad was very wrong. He had a wall around his heart so that nothing like this painfully, beautiful song could have never penetrated.

[omygoshineedausernam]

No other singer I know can convey such pain in his voice as Tom Waits. This song and the one called "I'll Never Let Go" always bring me to tears. His choices of instrumentation are masterful. He puts together instruments that I would never imagine together.

[DanHour]

My favorite breakup song ever.

[Sulashua]

New heights of volume should be invented in order to play this thing.

[matseman46]

This song got it all .

[zodiacbluesbaby]

Lovely song, great photos

[benkit49]

This song never fails to move me to tears and I was raised to never cry. My dad taught me that real men never cry.

[TheJesusOfCool]

"Jesus Christ this God damned rain!" Gets me every time.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@TheJesusOfCool Such a powerful, potentially offensive statement. Really adds to the desperation sound.

[TheJesusOfCool]

@Dalittheuntouchable I almost see it as a sequel to I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With you. His two best songs from his two completely different eras.

[wesleyharney]

This song is fantastic. I cry every time he gets to the line "and jesus christ this goddamn rain." The crack in his voice is what gets me here, you can here him crying.

[missopan]

This song is TO tender, it just not good music man!

[larryj917]

@missopan TOO tender, you mean?

[Smallville357]

the combination of tom's rough voice and anton corbins pristinely perfect photography is just magic....

[221rickking]

this hurts my heart

[MicrocebusRufus1]

On facebook there are two superb groups - 'The church of Tom Waits' and 'I base my life on Tom Waits songs'. It is soo true :-) Also a group 'Kentucky Avenue has changed my life' :-) I salute you Tom the Greatest...

[brueapilsner]

@MicrocebusRufus1 Do you happen to have a link to the Kentucky Avenue group? That song saved my life.

[ZappaFan101]

I can be the happiest man in the world and this song would still rip me up.

[tommytimiv]

Unparalleled genius

[Smallville357]

i heard he used to scream in his closet to mess his voice up.....very rusty and dirty but so romantic at the same time. very clever guy :)

[ph1i1]

I wish I was 1% as talented as Tom. Can't right a song to save my life

[AyySon]

@ph1i1 *write

[roomme]

This man is beyond art, he's extremely unique !

[autobulb]

Can never hear this song without tearing up inside.

Beautiful.

[byro9000]

Thanks so lot Mr. Waits.

I remember all my loves.

And thank them.

[buttnhole1]

No words....

[sparkleshoes]

Will forever remind me of a man called Nic - all those years ago....music is wonderful! :-))))

[oldtoyroom]

it totally tears my heart apart. a bittersweet torture. Tom is the greatest singer ever! 

[lella76100]

voce magnifica

[ChewyWalrus]

This is the song that awakened me to the amazing talent that is Tom Waits. I can't listen to it without getting that deep feeling of longing in the depths of my soul. Gorgeous...

[njceltic88]

I can listen to this endlessly, I love having my guts ripped out!!!!

[shawndimery]

@njceltic88 Yes! This is the most beautiful song ever I think, one of Toms best.

[sarahpburns]

almost too painful to listen to, I can only bear it every few years!

[sarahpburns]

almost too painful to listen to

[Zrachen]

very very beautiful...

[marcwhelehan]

one of the best "im gettin shitfaced on my own" songs of all time.

[orleydogjones]

I think it was all about when he and Ricki Lee Jones split up.

[mclovin466]

@orleydogjones yes, buddy, Tom writes this inspired by some guilt he feels when he's dumped Ricki Leee

[harrisongsrule]

Vous devriez avoir ajouté des images plus différentes

[bensdadfrank]

I listened to this song while trying to decide to do the" right" thing many years ago.The last part, Jesus Christ etc. made it too hard to go through with. I'll never know if I was right or wrong. Hopefully right.

[zappa0420]

A perfect rainy night 'feel sorry for myself', wearing my christopher robins' boots and coat song!

[twilightluver944]

This song used to want to make robert pattinson cry.aww i can see why its very heartbraking

[CodiExpoldie]

Those horns get me every time.

[bregolingo]
