You Can Never Hold Back Spring (live on the Orphans Tour)

[Magemastrtom]

Made me Rain. :)

[MaEh2007]

For sure one of the most beautiful songs by Tom Waits. What a genius, what a gift...

[grinderman911]

Pure genius! Higher power, thank you for the gift of Tom Waits :-)

[Zyphon400]

He makes me smile too. We shall all worship this man. Thank you sir.

[HeidiPrinze]

I love tom waits, he makes me smile.

[SuzzyStohelit]

His music can make me cry, it's the same coin with a different side, either one works works for me..

[JohnMcCash]

The Guv,nor !

[rings4ever]

The spring will end the next sunday...i will finish the secondary school soon...and i could never hold back those days of joy!

[JAYASEKERA]

The guy just can't stop writing classics, can he?

[xpuercox]

i love this song so badly

[jimlovesearth2]

thank god for tom waits...

there's so many pathetic artists out there who sell millions of records and garner a lot of radio play, but there's only one tom waits.

[souzajanete230]

your words are mine!

[kirk7524875248]

Beautiful! Tomorrow's the first day of Spring! Happy Spring everybody:)))

[spacekait]

What secrets he must know. The miracle or the novelty of his work is that he is able to express his madly intricate concepts in a way that people can relate to.

[SCARAB1971]

absolute. stellar!!!!

[patty113]

Tom = God... Nothing else needs to be said...

[Heintz0]

Tom > God.

[hatgirl09]

we = worship

[canterville5]

is how a Bb sus

[RedLightBulbs]

Wonderful. A very beautiful song.

[kirk7524875248]

For you pianists out there, please help me with this. I'm not a pianist, I'm a drummer. I dont' know chords that well. What is that chord he's hitting at 1:48 (and several times earlier in the song). Is it a fourth sus?

[SCARAB1971]

I will be working on this right away for you.

[kirk7524875248]

That's such a Powerful chord! Wow! The subtlety and power at the same time!

[pianodan10]

the chord is an Eb sus9... the 9th resolves to the third (a G).

So Basically he just plays a I chord, with this 8th note melody line going through it: F-G-Bb-Eb

hope that helps, it's a beautiful song. Let me know if you have any other questions, or if that wasn't what you were asking.

[kirk7524875248]

pianodan10, thanks!!! That is a huge help! I knew it was a sus, you can always feel the sus! At that point in the song, that chord is so powerful! Thanks again for you help and your kindness! -Kirk

[pianodan10]

Glad to help, with piano sometimes you can feel a chord, but it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what's going on. Keep playing! it's a wonderful thing.

[bofaco]

I think this is one of the most beautiful Tom's song.

I love it...

[Songoku93]

One word: Incredible.

Can`t express how much I like Tom Waits` music.

[petrovic01]

I think the "watch in high quality" option is ironic, because I can't imagine a higher quality performance.

[kirk7524875248]

"Even you've all (we've all)lost your way. The world is dreaming of Spring!" Nice!

[Vaikinas]

Just brill!!

[kirk7524875248]

Fuck! Those two chords (1:21-1:23). That's genius. That is what life is all about. Amazing.

[kirk7524875248]

So touching.

[oggendoggen2]

They should defintiley put out a DVD of this...

[KENOEFF]

Great Lyrics/preformance/everything.­

[Takac1979]

Superb!

[kevycanavan]

please let there be a DVD coming

[babiesdie]

lol watching in higher quality lol

[deardahl]

America's biggest musical treasure.

[JoaoOliveiraPT]

And one of the world's biggest treasures

[BLAHBLAHDAVE]

Tom I want to grow up to be like you. but I guess Ill need a few more cartons of cigaretts and some bourbon. NEVER STOP and please come to medford oregon

[KVGerudo]

Tom waits does it once again. So wholesome. Bawlers is by far my favourite of the three Orphans cds, and Tom shows just what can be done with a weathered voice and a little heart. :)

[SCLOGSE]

I stick bawlers on when I take a drive outta town...and head north then west out of petaluma into the green hills. Take it with Me is perfection...Widows' Grove is probably the best song written in the last 20 years...amazing disc. amazing. I like Puttin On the Dog on Brawlers, and many things on bastards.

[peglegsam]

Great video Anti-, you had just posted the other four videos last week! of course there's a reason you're reposting them, thanks :)
