I'm a big fan of Tom Waits, always have been, especially his earlier work. He lets me in his world as soon as he starts playing and singing these songs and then leaves me completely lost for words by its beauty. Thanks mister Waits.
Like him or not, this man does not depend on canned junk like some of the people out today. He has talent, true talent, and that's more than 99% of the folks do now.
@luvkershaw saw him several times at massey hall , must of been the 70's , just riveting concerts,backed by superb musicians, my most memorable image, trumpet intro , breaks into summertime,still trumpet soloing for a few minutes, spotlite accompanys waits as he enters ,smoke billowing from lit cigaratte,
working as a social worker in addiction care, this song is so dawn recognizable. As well the lyrics as the mood.

I can't decided if this is the most depressing Christmas song or the greatest Valentine's Day song.

He has a fat lower lip. You know how it looks like he's got chew in his mouth? I'd imagine that it the cause of those sloppy P's.
