@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
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.
@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!!!
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!
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 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.
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
@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.
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.
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.
@semiheadbager Are you mentally incompetent? Or just one of those dumb assholes who chooses to take everything ridiculously literally so the world loses meaning?
This is so darn wonderful on so many levels. It kind of depresses me just a bit, but then it really makes me smile. Very well done and fits the song. Congratulations on being able to express your feelings in such a meaningful way!
@walterhemming I love this song and the video fits perfectly! And um, looking at the gloominess of the video, ... , why am I not surprised that you are Finnish?? #_#
and i hope that you fall in love with me..
