I read the lyrics/lines for the first time today and thought they were beautiful and really interesting. Then I searched it on google and found this... I really don't think his voice does the words justice... I'm disappointed and it just sounds creepy to me now.
If you just read the lyrics/lines as if it were a poem they are enthralling.
@Tripo1iSamson really? my i've found in my experience that the fans of great artists such as tom waits, neil young etc are the best people on youtube. intelligent and full of love and sensitivity. someone's music taste really says a lot about them i think
@Tripo1iSamson So if you like a musician you're pretentious and aggravating? Thats a really broad generalization don't you think? Although you may have a point, I'm pretty pretentious and aggravating often (probably because I'm a fan of several musicians)
Every Tom Waits song has the insatiable power that everyone can relate to. they are so full of reality and humanity you can't help but be drawn into his world.
@giannis2624 Σοβαρα τωρα;;!Τι υπαρχει που να μη σ' αρεσει σ' αυτο το τραγουδι...Η μουσικη;...Οι στιχοι;!!....Ή αυτη η υπεροχη φωνη που εχει ο Tom Waits;!
I can not believe we do not have music like that these days, the man is a poet, on who can shape feelings with words and draw tears even from those who believes there is none to shed. Maybe because he knows what pain is? I do not know, but it is a pitty that have to endure the mainstram of the shallow bands that does not have soul. May you live forever in our hearts man.
These days? Buddy... check your calendar... this album is only about 7 years old. You can't say something like that for something so recent, and Tom Waits is still doing music "like that".
Honestly, music is not degrading. Pop has always been crappy (even the Beatles were deemed untolerable by critics back then). Just people like to whine about the modern mainstream, when it's never been good.
My friend music these last few years have become a comercial race to see who wins more albuns. And in the process it have become stagneted in variations of the same thing, it is all lifeless and boring. And when I said music these days I did not mean Tom Waits.
Oh Tom, the things u do to me........

Is this a song? Is he singing? Sorry for asking, but I'm really curious as what notes and all he is "singing"?

Tom Waits is pretty cool, but his fan base, much like any other musician's fan base, is pretentious and fucking aggravating.
