    Edmund.

  • Thanks for this. I was wondering how I was going to cope with another winter. This is a big hint.

    Beautiful voice

  • great cover, thanks for posting. many people just don't realize how beautiful his lyrics are.

  • How lovely - you captured the spirit of song very well in my opinion. Honker? what's a honker?

  • I have never listened to Tom Waits but I want to now, thankyou :)

  • This is lovely. Great voice!

  • As a huge Waits fan I feel weird saying that I prefer this version to his, but, at the moment anyway, it seems true.

  • Very well done.

  • Oh this is beautiful! Great job, gorgeous :)

  • Hey Lady ! Das ist absolut klasse !!! RESPEKT !!!

  • 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!

  • wow, gave me chills. Beautiful voice! Keep on singin' Mama!!

  • wow... what should I say... such effortless singing! What a beautiful voice and expression you have. Wonderful. Made my day :) Thanks.

  • wow... what should I say... such effortless singing! What a beautiful voice and expression you have. Wonderful. Made my day :) Thanks.

    All the best

  • beautiful job - love it

  • Awesome

  • Nice to meet you!

    My name is Sakyo.

    I am an amateur musician living in Japan.

    I play a guitar and Percussion.

    And sometimes even sing.

    I feel lucky that I found you in this site.

    I was very natural and was impressed in the your music that a heart felt at ease.

    Because I am weak in English, I use the translation machine.

    If I read, and a document gets out, please forgive it.

  • Sweet and Passionate voice......tender and expressive guitar playing....awesome......you have a great talent.

  • You're voice.... I just died and went to heaven!

  • well...i hope i don't fall in love with YOU.

  • Great! 

  • Lovely 

  • I really love this version, I put it on my mp3 player and in the last few days I've been listening to this thousand times :)

  • You are amazingly patient, that's what really makes it !!

  • love it! :)

  • I shared this on my facebook, a beautiful woman singing a beautiful song, this is music. :)

  • Just wow.

  • It takes a special female voice to pull off the music of Tom Waits... Well played, Madame. Well played. 

  • exellent stuff gal

    have a listen to my version on reverbnation/yahooclub

  • WOW!!

    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!!

    Congratulations!!

  • Your loverly in voice and charm. Peace x

  • thats a problem because I just fell in love with you!: )

  • Hi i just added your video to my Tom Waits Covers playlist....Thanks for sharing:)

  • nice

  • 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.

    Matt

  • I can only assume you are Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones's love child. That was beautiful...

  • Great cover! Thanks for posting it!

  • your voice is spectacular !

  • Oh yeah, if you want all those twitter links of producers and Maynard James Keenan talking about you, let me know.

  • 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.

  • that was a great cover well done you brought a tear to my eye as that song means a lot to me thanks dermot

  • 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.

  • wow very very good well done!

  • nicejob

  • 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.

  • Beautiful Rendition.

  • I think I just fell in love with you. :)

  • 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.

  • Lovely !

    Its one of my favourites and its not often its done that well

     j

  • superb.the mistakes don't matter 'cause it's like you sing to the listener,in fact they're sort of charming.

  • very very well done. you really made it your own

  • Oh my god... your voice's so sweet... Really lovely

  • I feel the tears in my eyes...wonderful song !

  • what a unique voice. great work

  • 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

    hearing you singing. Just wonderful.

  • Hang around people that smoke cigarettes, It gives you the edge on this Cover! -

    I like the way you sing this song

  • 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.

  • Beautifully heartbreaking...

  • Where is your album? You've got a great voice and a real talent! Please record and perform!

  • Lady, you should be a professional singer! I've never heard this song covered so nice! You remind me of Lori Spee. Don't drink while singing though.

  • 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.

  • your beauty is electric sugar

  • I think your voice is very interessting. The very point is.. YOU do have a voice nobody else has.

    That's GREAT. Want more .. Edith

  • i think you should always hang around with smoking people

  • this is brilliant

  • "warning: smoking allows you to listen beautiful voices!"

  • magnifique voix, beaucoup de sentiments, en plus très belle....

  • Truly beautiful..............

  • 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!

  • Authentically beautiful...

  • 5*********, awesome song.

  • wow..(.I think I just did)...that was really cool...you managed to make that song yours

  • 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

  • I think this is the best cover of this song on youtube. Thank you for posting it.

  • You are so beutifull

  • you've got a beautifull voice

    really apreciate it

  • 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

  • do u have facebook?

  • @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!

  • perfection!!!

  • You so beautiful!

  • 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.

  • Beautiful...

  • I think I just fell in love with you. Very beautifully done, lovely voice.

  • You do this one really well! Your guitar is clear and precise, your voice is clear, but understated. My compliments. Jonny

  • Really really like it! Lovely.

    Perhaps we could duet on a Wait's song? (check out my poor piano attempt).

    I could look at you and you could look back at me!

    Good stuff Rachel Webb.

  • You old charmer Coppillie

  • Less of the old.....

  • wow , thats great . 5*****

  • very nice. soft, subtle, and significantly your own.

  • Lady! absoluty good cover for Tom end all! ! :-)

  • very unique to the original

    if theres anywhere out there who wants help playing guitar and sing at the same time

    check out me vids

    you don't need any help by the way

    peace chris

  • 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!

  • Beautiful

  • indeed sexy voice.

  • Amazing, lovely voice. Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you ;)

  • You know how every guy tells every crappy girl doing a cover how great they are? Well, that's really not the case here.

    Anyway, hope this comment made your day. Otherwise, have a good one!

  • Wow... that was great! Your voice kinda reminds me of Emmylou Harris... only BETTER! 5 stars and awards all around!

  • This is quite a nice version.

    Although I always find it strange when everyone does a cover of a Tom Waits song, No matter who does it, it never feels like a Tom Waits song.

    I suppose no one can really get the same feel that he has.

    But never the less.

    Yours was lovely :)

  • 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.

  • this is beautiful!! i love tom waits
