  • Great video. I'm sure Mr. Waits would approve. Hope there's a video for Kentucky Avenue.

  • the "chair" next to her that was supposed to be free, was more like a crowded bench.... slut

  • New year and a woman twisting your melon = RELAPSE

  • dude´s got a harmonica. One thing moore than me, only got the blues. Great film

  • What...another chance? Bach. Ravel. Waits. Island. Allbymself. Eternity. OK.Whoa, Dylan. Sorry.

  • Hard to beat the music. Video is jacked up...just like me.

  • :)

  • This is a great animation.

  • @Containerbarn

    Thanks!

  • Okay, Who hid the camera? I thought I was alone...

  • Oh my god, in this song, his voice is such, as if it belonged to a real person!!!

  • This man has not released a single song that I don't love.

  • love is a terrible thing once is gone... -_-

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!I LOVE TOM WAITS!!!

  • Jesus Christ...fucking brilliant

  • how did this animator know what i look like, and how i feel?

  • Not entirely sure why...but i LOVE this video lol

  • Never touched a drop now 6 weeks today : )) Haven't even desired or missed it and I'm a stone lighter : ))) Hooray!!!

    However,,, this video and song would give me withdrawal symptins if not played, watched and listened to on a regular basis...

    Playlist time... [smile]

  • @TheRestlesswind1 GOOD for you. You're Strong. Sober 2.5 years here. It gets easier over time when the clarity deepens.

  • @drogheda1966 Thanks!! I didn't have a problem [as such]... just decided I was bored with it and the 'recovery period'... which lasted longer than the fun.

    Good for you too : )) You must be a physical and mental picture of health!!! No hope there for me unfortunately!; D

    This is a great tune!!! 

  • loliness is an experience best shared alone . not from closing time. massuve song

  • sooooo NICE>.. lonelyness is a horrible experience

  • * * * * *

  • I take it most of the likes come from drunks with a heart broken past. not judging you...thats why Im here friends....and i hope i dont fall in love with you

  • the way you took such a great song about unrequited love and applied it to the feeling of alcoholism is pure heart wrenching genius. the visual tone of this is perfect. thanks for creating something real.

  • Have been listening this song for the past hour feeling lovesick... I just hope she won't become a 'Martha'.

  • Linda canção

  • This song breaks my heart every time I listen to it... awesome..

  • @TACarhart Yup!!! back again...and it sounds and looks as great as ever!!!!

  • ...and i think that i just fell in love with hiM...

  • I am fall in Love with Tom Waits music :) !!!

  • he gets in love with licor, is this it?

  • @marinhofilho It is very clear that the character and the song as well speaks about a lonely man who cant find love so he became alcoholic, it is a very common situation all around the world, including me... Thanks Mr. Tom Waits!!!

  • this is the fourth tom waits song I've seen in stop motion. Two of them end in the suicide of the protagonist. Why is this such a common theme?

  • Volim te, Jovane

  • I LOVE YOU KAFFY G!!!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  • I love you kaffy g!!

  • Ilove TOM!!!!!!!!

  • The original album this is off of is Closing Time

  • 3 people didn't fall.

  • i hoped, but i've fallen!!

  • Terrific! Your animation is very touching. Thank you so much for posting this!

    Love it. Tom Waits true poet and musician.

    I am so in Love with his Songs , forever.

  • Love U Tom Waits !

  • This is a beautiful song-Thank you Tom Waits

  • demasiado tarde...

  • well done!

  • I think I prefer this version to the Closing Time version. It seems to be more mournful when slower.

  • I've been a fan of Tom Waits for years, and every time I listen to one of his songs, that I'd not listened to yet, it becomes my new favorite song for weeks. He is such a genius at touching something inside of everyone's heart and soul. Common, shared experiences, simply put, and universal. Pure damned genius! Beautiful job on the animation. I hope Mr. Waits sees it! Thank you for this post!

  • the armonic shoul sound¡¡

  • I HATE LOVE

  • I am just an old fool now. But, I read the comments of others who must be much younger than I and take a lot of inspiration from knowing they appreciate music of such sublime quality performed by an untouchable talent. Thanks for sharing.

  • i dont know what to say but, spot on. wise man.

  • man drink

  • the caracter looks like the irish comic Brendan O ' Carroll , great song and video, full marks for your effort , thanks for that , dub,

  • Would be so cool to hear harmonica when man starts playing it in the film :)

  • I want him to have a nice little pretty clay female companion, not robot gumby.

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kocham Cię miłością absolutną

  • i feel like this way too many times

  • @MrMentllet ..The fact that you realize it, Is a good sign..

  • Odd!

  • I like.

  • I had the same thing! If you compare this clean and produced version to the live version it’s really another song. With the same lyrics! This one is very dramatically, I really believe what he is singing and this awesome video shows a bit of Tom's life. His voice with these lyrics.. Man.

    What else does a man need?

    Ah, Whiskey and cigarettes

  • thes video was amazing, unfortunately my english isn´t good enough to describe the sensation watching it, just let me put down these words : i´ll never forget these sad little man

  • I love this song, and this has to be one of the saddest videos I've ever seen.

  • sad... :(

  • inspiration 

  • The most beautiful song ever written !! Simply Incredible !!! <3 <3 <3

  • @superchicgeek agreed

  • Well I turn around to look at you,

    You're nowhere to be found,

    I search the place for your lost face,

    Guess I'll have another round

    And I think that I just fell in love with you.

  • thsi is actually from the album "Closing Time". Thats the first record it appeared on.

  • Comment removed

  • @jeffreythunders This version is an earlier demo that appeared on The Early Years: Volume 2. The version on "Closing Time" does not have the "la-la-la" verse and it's a little bit faster.

  • @recordman33 hi there, can you email this mp3 to me ?

  • Beautiful :)

  • You don't seem to understand... I thought it would be like you said it would be...

    Why? I give my best, and you still choose to hide...

    Is it really that hard for you to trust me? Why did you return if you still wanted to hide away in your shell?

    I can't live there, with you... And, just for your information, you're above brain and heart, you're above everything that happened to me.

    Why... Just, Why?

    I "Ask and Investigate" you "Hide and ignore"...

    Awesome couple huh?

  • In 1975 when I was 14 years old I lost a bet with 2 of my class-mates so I had to keep my word & had to buy records for them. The first girl chose for Bob Dylan's "Desire" and the other one for "Closing Time" by Tom Waits. I inmediatly fell in love with that album and I still am.

    This isn't the version from that album but it remains a very beautiful love song.

  • AWESOME!...nothing less

  • i can relate to this song,just brilliant!its sad but brilliant:)

  • I love someone and this song is part of my love... Brazil and Germany

  • tom's voice sounds different in this song, like he sang this before all the whiskey and cigars. I love it both ways, this is a beautiful song. it's sad and kind of tragic, but it makes you feel better at the same time, in it's beauty and simplicity.

    sometimes the best things in life are the simple things. you don't need anything more than a guitar, his lyrics and his voice, and you've got somemthing pretty damn brilliant.

  • Fantastic, man...

  • :) and :(

  • :')

  • This is originally from Closing Time, back in 1973.

  • Great video and song

  • Love it

  • For those who now the word respect, why do you find this song beautiful?

  • @semiheadbager and for those of us who know* how to spell

  • @semiheadbager Are you mentally incompetent? Or just one of those dumb assholes who chooses to take everything ridiculously literally so the world loses meaning?

  • thanks for this...kinda hit a rut musically...pickin up the guitar the second this vids finished...

  • This is sad and yet awesome/

  • this excactly my mood ... I hope that i don´t fall in love with you... perfect

  • This is great. Thanks.
