You bring us the perfect feeling for songs like this, a great voice and a good guitar and - yes - girl you're amazing. You're in my "good news" playlist now.
Thank you.
All the best, hugs and greetings from good old Vienna.
good cover, but you should throw what song you're covering up on the title. also, i doubt some second hand smoke had any effect on your voice, quit whining
Terrific version-the pace is right on-exactly as I imagined it should be when I first heard this on my turntable so many years ago. Sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer.....as Tom might say. Thank you for sharing......
This is easily one of the best Tom Waits covers I have ever heard. The emotion you poured into this song was tear-inspiring, I am extremely impressed. Keep up the fantastic music making, because you're a true musician. I'm sure Tom Waits would really love your version of his song.
I am not often lost for words, but I am simply awestruck! No mere words can describe the range of emotions I felt as you sang Tom's song. Bravissima! Now please, please, please will you do Innocent when you dream? You on piano and hubby backing you on that funky guitar!
About 9 months ago i've posted this comment "Truly beautiful.............." i didn't know the original, i've listened to your version and the Tom Waits version........Not sure which one is the better one....but i think i just fell in love with you......
What is it about Tom Waits' Music...it justs tears me up inside, but in a good way, its like, it knows the combination to my Emotion lock and just lets it all pour out. But you my dear do the song great justice...you have a wonderful voice and I love what you do on the Guitar too, thanks!!
I loved that so so much. Tom Waits is the best lyrisist I know. He sings this tune so well. You have done him proud. So nice, well played and well sung. You capture it so well.
Anyway, good luck girl, you got it....You've sang me to sleep a few times. And for what it's worth I have never been able to even sit through another YouTube cover aside from major concerts from major bands. If you can't tell from all my comment removals I haven't even ever left anyone a message lol.
I can't believe how many girls want to and have covered this song. You, however, are a woman and you have done it justice. Your smokey voice and phrasing are very effective. I very much enjoyed listening to and watching you perform this song, one of my favorite Tom Waits songs.
You make this song your own and flood it with emotion. Beautiful sound, great interpretation. It's definitive - can't listen to this song now without coming back to your benchmark. Thanks for posting.
I love this song. This is a different sound. I think you've done the song justice. i felt a nice feeling inside while i listened. so job well done. oh and by the way you're better looking than ol' tom too.
I just recorded "time" and found your video of it as well....and decided to snoop around...this is a great version of this song.....you have a wonderful voice!
Hello Orlandomama. I live in Denmark and this evening I spend on youtube, watching all videos I can find with Tom Waits. Normally I do not watch cover versions, but I am really glad I watched yours tonight. I had great pleasure of
Your voice is so adoreable ! I normally dont say that to people. But keep in contacts with that smoking peoples! Such a beautiful voice ! Its like an angel blew his horn and sent you to earth with a voice of heaven.
This is a fantastic cover, thanks for posting it up. I'm a big Waits fan living in Wales and have recently learned this song too, it's one of my favourites.
Wow! This may be one of the most moving pieces of music that i have ever heard, almost made me cry. It is much more than the song itself, but the way that you sing it., the passion in your voice. I just checked out an actual Tom Waits version, and yours really blows it away, again well done. i just posted my own version with my ukuilele (I am a beginner at both uking and singing) but it is nothing compared to yours. Keep doing what you do. You are amazing! Your most recent subscriber.
Wow!!! If that is what people smoking around you do to your voice, sorry, but you will simply have to expose your health to that for the sake of your art! Very touching and very real!
i've listened to several of your offerings and i like what i hear! please try "innocent when you dream" i look forward to seeing what you can do with it. thanks
me and my friend were just listening to this wondering do you know that there 2 people try to find your vid and couldnt find it and then when we did we were screamin and jumpin aroundall happy,funny,we like this
wow! i don't know what to say to that but thanks! :) i really appreciate the good vibes from the friends i have made through posting these videos... have a good day
@orlandomama I have been trying to re-find this for months. I couldn't remember my password and now that I do I couldn't rememer your name, just that a florida town and "mama" in it. I looked up the title a hundred times... My real reason for hunting you down aside from the fact that I just love your version of this, some VERY INFLUINTIAL PEOPLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ARE WATCHING YOU! That's how I came across you!
Nice version. I believed you! Tom Waits is hard to tackle if you don't have the emotional depth and you obviously do. You have to get hurt to really know Tom Waits music. That's my opinion anyway.
you make singing look so natural and theres not a inch of you that says " im trying sooooooo hard to sound good" its like singing just fits for you, and its not forced sounding, very beautiful, you have a real gift! and you sing tom waits so you win tons of brownie points :P but yes you rock, i would love to see you discovered some day you have a great voice girl. keep up the great work!
You know, I'd have to agree. My thing is my passion for EVERY one of Tom's songs, so I just love to sing them. However, I would agree with you, as I feel that no one could really do his songs justice, just attempt to enjoy them by singing them- as I do. Thanks for watching.
