Tom Waits- I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You

[cultoay0utube]

Worst Tom song is great 

[Emmylie2]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard! Fantastic.

[Kaqmijn]

One dislike? WHO? WHY?

[63mathilda]

@Kaqmijn Relax, there is always an idiot who thinks it is great to be against the mainstream. This must be a brick: no brain, no heart, no fears, no feelings and the worst of all: no love.

[Alastair6]

Tom says hello to me. I taught his kid clarinet. He is a very real person. I love his music, he is a true genius.

[MrTheprovider]

A true genius.. way out on his own.

[CarolinaGamecocksFan]

One person will never be in love... HBD to a genius!!!

[omega14j1]

My favorite song of all time. That's all i'm saying.

[zeppelinator]

As soon as I get in a relationship, I almost look forward to the most likely inevitable end, so I can listen to this song and be all sad and cliched. Tom Waits ruined my love life and I am okay with that.

[inverterville]

@zeppelinator ha ha thats class know how you feel man

[iceaxe56]

wish he would team up with shane mcgowan

[BEHEDETY]

I wants a christmas albums from mr Tom Waits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BEHEDETY]

I wants a christamas albums from mr Tom Waits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wyngnut101]

I know this feeling all too well. I have often wondered the possibilities of what would happened differently in my life if.

[joanlagoy]

nobody better!

[Oblowsky]

I was wrong. sry :/

[Ema188897]

Heard this in my favourite movie of all time ''The Prince and Me'' now, i'm the biggest fan of Tom Waits, he's amazinggg!

[nixonmichaela]

@Ema188897 That's how I first discovered this song too :D

[jazzbazz56]

In my opinion, the greatest artist ever!!

[DixieDrivethru]

Seems that its a little faster, this making everything sound a little higher in pitch.

[tg93williams]

This sounds... Somehow different from the song on the CD. Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me, but it sounds slightly different than Tom.

[DaNamesJesus]

Tom..? No? No.I'll listen anyways.

[78groucho]

Awesome song!!!

[Oblowsky]

but why this cover??

this song is not from "closing time" :/ 

[TheWap13]

@Oblowsky

Actually it is from Closing Time

[MsSmileybone]

@Oblowsky think again :)

[sirronald69]

AWESOME

[unitedsense]

my school time endless repeating!

i love artists top3!

[automatonaphobia]

Wait, is this Tom singing? 

[boscoe16]

how awesome, a masterpiece

[spellerdudes]

"Suspiciously like Bob Dylan" ?

That statement is nonsensical on more levels than I can possibly count, Gawd just enjoy or turn it off but please just shut yer yap -

"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves".

Brendan Behan

[rlegear19]

@spellerdudes -well said.

[NeoTRP]

beautiful song!

[GDMAZ]

If only they(musicians) wrote songs like this now...

[bigcack48]

one of those songs that u cant help to close ur eyes and really feel it...

[Frobe1357]

Is it just me or does he sound suspiciously like Bob Dylan?

Still Beautiful song

[b0j43]

@Frobe1357 No?

[keturiosakyss]

@Frobe1357

Father - Leonard Cohen

Son - Nick Cave

Holy Ghost - Bob Dylan

Noah or Anti-Christ - Tom Waits

[chocolatagirl1]

I still got this on vinyl, this man is the best songwriter ever!!!!!!

[joethecabdriver]

this one, too.

[dave2806]

lovely song so well sang as usual

[toolateralus89]

0 people hope that they DO fall in love with someone!

Wait, something seems wrong with this comment. I followed the stupid formula: (# of dislikes) people (sentence stating with opposite of the meaning / title of the video / song). Oh, I see now! There are 0 dislikes. Weird, I wonder how that happened...

[MikeUpie]

Quite a good writer! Impressive!

[eggbert4001]

ahhhhh the beauty that is tom waits's voice

[avo4077]

best love song ever written....

[Marxfan58]

once upon a time i listened to every tom waits song, in album alphabetical order on my iPod. I only paused the music to go the the bathroom and eat with my family. 28+ hours of music took about 3 days to listen to, but that was all i did. Anyways, great experience for me. Tom Waits is the best.

[chungafrescor]

Maestro!

[dcdude171]

wow im not used to his voice being this high

[Partyh]

Rlegear19

I myself am that person u speak of. Heard this on 6music the today and I'm now a fan. I'm about to embark on my Tom Waits journey, wish me well!

[rlegear19]

@Partyh - Good luck with your Waits journey of discovery and don`t forget to watch his interviews and performances , especially with Letterman. Dave is a wonderful straight man for Tom`s anecdotes.

[rvjames4161]

A very special woman just gave me this song.... Hard to know what to think... I choose to think she sees a possibility for love.

[Barnicklemusic]

@rvjames4161 Hi, I am sure u r correct.

[hentaimaid]

@rvjames4161 go for it

[berin08]

i have this record , its incredible !

[joepubic89]

Dear God

Thank you for Tom.

Love

The World

[klikklack1]

Thanks, Tom,... that's how I see it,... :)

[becksdollface]

I search the place for your lost face :-(

guess I'll have another round ;-)

ah me ...

[Dizzle520]

i agree the most underrated song of all time

[Whymusk]

..da ascoltare all'infinito...

[oh69ohyes]

this sounds like its recorded from a tape cassette thats been eaten a couple times. but still an amazing song

[Warcraft20101]

@oh69ohyes thats what gives it its charm , i love that sound or of an lp .. not cd or all the modern stuff :P

[joepubic89]

Probably the most underrated song of all time.

[rlegear19]

@joepubic89 - I absolutely agree. I am 54 years old and love singer-songwriter stuff. Somehow this song fell thru the cracks and i only discovered it 2 years ago. This song alone would have made me a Tom Waits fan..... but i have found another 15-20 Waits songs that i love..... more that i like, and some music that i have just not grown into yet.

[joepubic89]

@rlegear19 Every Waits' album has at least 5 songs that any other artist would kill to have written.

Oh, well...More for us.

[missopan]

@joepubic89 Underrated by who??

[soulrebelmenominee]

the night time does funny things inside a man, these old tom cat feeling you don't understand. oh man thats the story of my life

[kinneyboy90]

makes me wanna cry

[Frankieireland]

Probably my favourite track off my favourite album.

[gibbs26]

Wonderful way of capturing the moment

Thanks Tom

[MrQuivi]

this version ownes all the other ones

others make a cheap hollywood-song of this magical piece of art

Tom is the best !!!!

[ZoeSquared21]

@MrQuivi I don't know... I really like Emiliana Torrini's version.

[MmeCylinder]

@MrQuivi I didn't know, and now I refuse to know that there are any other versions. you can't cover personality.

[soulrebelmenominee]

@MrQuivi i had no idea that there are any other versions.

[Shtivv]

@soulrebelmenominee icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini did one..

[solonify]

@Shtivv Icelandic? You are thinking of Bjork (Björk). Emiliana Torrini is Italian...

[Shtivv]

@solonify Emilíana Torrini (born May 16, 1977) is an Icelandic singer, best known for her 2009 single Jungle Drum, 1999 album Love in the Time of Science and for performing "Gollum's Song", during the ending credits of Peter Jackson's film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

;)

[solonify]

@Shtivv You´re kidding?! Allright, I believe you... My mistake :)

[sindrimarsteingrims]

@solonify actually, you're kinda half-right. Her dad's Italian, but she's always lived in Iceland and she grew up there as well...

[catbjo]

@solonify 

[bmeggs]

@Shtivv  FAIL. Emiliana Torrini is Icelandic.

[nosenipples]

@bmeggs FAIL. Shtivv is the one who pointed out that she is Icelandic, months before you rudely did.

[lhart99]

Mr. Tom Waits, thank you for making me believe in music. Your lyrics are like listening to Shakespeare, Hemingway, & Steinbeck put to a melody. Thank you, from the bottom of this broken and tortured heart & soul! Please come to Portland, Oregon. I swear before God I'd saw off my leg to be sitting front row when you come :-).

[TheLjiljanaradenovic]

One of the most beautiful 'falling in love' songs. All of us experinced it. Never expressed it.

[lhart99]

@TheLjiljanaradenovic I couldn't have put it better my self. Cheers, mate :-). Here's to falling in love.
