Tom Waits Long Way Home

[Glasmann25]

Einfach einer der besten

[MrStabbytheghost]

This was my uncles favorite song and when he passed away a few years ago they played this at his memorial. I will never forget this song and what it means to me.

[munckomagic]

To understand just how remarkable Waits' vocal performances are, you only need compare this to Norah Jones' version. Musically there is nothing really difference -- the difference is solely Waits' voice and how he uses it to inject real pathos. Jones' version is nice enough, Waits' is positively heartbreaking.

[zone53046]

Adoro la voce di Waits minacciata dal Whisky..

[MegaPaolarossi]

@zone53046 E' una voce che ti entra dentro...

[rusi1711]

He is so great!!!

[roaldski]

1 person had to take the long road home alone

[fallingdwntmwts]

Ive been a ridiculous fanatic of Tom Waits since I was a kid (im 35 now). I actually cried when I wasn't able to make it to his inductee ceremony for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame....but whats with the girl playing pool in lingerie.

[copouiasi]

Lovely - really like Norah's Jones cover, too.

[paulpellicci]

never disappoints...

[fonceG]

i cant helped i always wanna cry when he or she (Norah J) sings: "u know I love you baby

More than the whole wide world

You are my woman

I know you are my pearl"

what a beautiful song..

[cheyennebaze]

what can ya say its just a song that hits home

[nine8nine]

this is the best. Simple & beautiful.

[Beauleerdamwest]

i think norah jones does it better..

[quintenanthonissen]

@Beauleerdamwest different !! :)

[docmomo1233]

@Beauleerdamwest

No way sorry ;0)

[Ullbritt]

@Beauleerdamwest waits and his wife wrote it tho

[lilundgren1]

I love this song! So raw,so emotional,so simple! Beautiful !

[GregIsLegend]

Pic related?

[hobojon23]

i've heard both Hot Club of Cowtown and Norah Jones cover this song. They do not hold a candle to Waits on this number

[st49237]

i always take the long way home. amen tom!

[erekleerekleere]

who is the girl?

[Ryoken77]

The Orphans CD.....wow.......I never get tired of listening to it. One of the most underrated, misunderstood, songwriters of this century. Only a narrow minded imbecile would scoff at his talent and his work......Live long, Tom.

[clintdack]

This song was written by Tom Waits, not SumperTramp you imbecile!

[jentrok]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO

[TheKingofRockMusic]

absolutely brilliant!

[polpoint]

What the hell?! How come that girl is breaking the balls from so close?? How hot does she think she is?

[poolpig]

@polpoint Somethings wrong here if pools what you thought of when lookin at that pic! Do you like doods? Cause thats cool too but dang

[HEMATOFRIKI]

tom the best!!!

[HEMATOFRIKI]

great song !!!

[idulajev]

adora el trabajo de este señor !!! =D

[idulajev]

adoro el trabajo de este señor !!! =D

[idulajev]

oooh si adoro a este gran señor =D

[Auralas]

Wow i must have played this at least 12 times today. I cant get enough, his songwriting is just untouchable. its the simplicity that gets you...Unreal

[shaptula4]

@Auralas Tom didn't write it. (not that it matters) Roger Hodgson of SuperTramp did - anyway it is spectacular. - u take care. (Teddy)

[Auralas]

@shaptula4 idk I just looked that up and it seems to be completely different from Tom's. Am I looking at the wrong video?

[shaptula4]

@Auralas Oops - I am humbled - I chked with god Google - (u r right) and besides it makes the song more incredible. Tnks fr the bona fide. I blew a shift. The BC bud and six tall tends to do that to you - (fait attention - take care)

[JoeyNavinski]

@shaptula4

It's a totally different song you complete tool.

[TheBubbles9]

"NJ" can go shit in her hat!

it's Tom Waits or nothing

[chriskimforlife]

@TheBubbles9 not cool man, even though waits does kill it.

[rmeofiowa]

wow i thought it was a N. J.  tune it sounds like her but WOW

[GodotheInfantry]

I spent the night before my last deployment to Iraq listening to this album. This song, and "Never Let Go," in particular. It gave me strength.

[rmeofiowa]

@GodotheInfantry thank you

[jaxtraw51]

@GodotheInfantry -I pray you take the "long way home" but more important...you make sure you get your ass home.When your feet hit American soil,you e-mail me at-jaxtraw51@comcast.net.My name is Jack and dinner for you and yours is on me.This is no bullshit.Stay safe and stay in touch, Jack

[BossaNogi]

@GodotheInfantry Godspeed good man.

[docmomo1233]

@GodotheInfantry

Hi dude, how are you? Much respect for the job done in Iraq eventhough war is hell i presume. I am only a swiss guy (geneva, french speaking part) we are a neutral country so war seems so unreal to me. Though we have one thing in common: tom waits, he is my favorite singer, the lyrics are so poweful!

[gurufuttlappele]

@GodotheInfantry shooting people is wrong

[GodotheInfantry]

@gurufuttlappele No, shooting INNOCENT people is wrong. Killing scum-sucking-religious-extremi­st-hadji is not only fun, but a very good thing.

[kiprusoffluv]

@GodotheInfantry however you get home, i hope you get here safely!



[malooch123]

this version iz my favorite.. actually i dont like the other versions that i've heard much at all.

[BloodyxWishes]

Lyrics to the second verse:

Money's just something you throw off the back of a train,

got a HEAD full of lightning

and a hat full of rain. etc.

[simongallup]

Esta canción es hermosa...por cierto ¿hay un poster de Inka Kola? la gaseosa emblemática de PERU :D

[LandoftheShanks]

Leonard Cohen bleh. Tom Waits for me <3

[im4out]

can't stop playing this.....guess it's gonna be a long way home.....

[Scriabin28]

Wow, RedAxLamb, where's this from? It's got a beautiful open, airy sound. I love the "Orphans" version but this is suburb.

[ChrisHasSpareTime]

Is this live? This sounds different from my "Oprhans" version.

[berylious]

Sounds like the one from the OST for Big Bad Love. Good movie. Amazing song.

[ak47doubletap]

One of MANY ~~TW's songs, Addicted to the man's music. My drug of choice is TW's Voice, Lyrics, ............ ya feel Must admit to other musical addictions!

Wow, and no hangovers, just lovely images sliding across your mind. Aw, love ya@!

[huckbrownmvp]

Me too. Those lines just hit me in the head the first time I heard them which was tonight after your posting.

I don't want to pick a fav., but right now Leonard Cohen is at the top of my list. I just saw him in Florida recently. What music, what lyrics, what soul...

I

[Cantshaketheseblues]

Got a head full of lightening...A hat full of rain

[KENOEFF]

Tom Waits is one of my all-time favorites.
