Sins Of My Father - Tom Waits

[bustedupbutbreathing]

you're never alone with a bottle of bourbon and a tom waits album. the man talks to me on a level unequaled by any other!

[panasoanicboy]

this album has a whole of oversaturated timbres... so interesting this 'composing a room for this or that song' which tom waits has a unique sounding despite from the composition indeed... sorry the english...

[picar0s]

I've just discovered this artist only this summer and he's incredible. Awesome song and strong lyrics.

[grahamlaur]

Marvelous track from an underrated album.

[MrJosephDavies]

Badass guitar

[bluevalentine9]

There are more awsome lyrics packed into this song than there are in the entire collections of most of the artists in the past fifty years

[bluevalentine9]

Woke with this song in my head and couldn't find my cd. Thank you! "Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the Weeds "I was born at this time for a reason you see? When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time . . ."

[Pittsisamazing]

I was listening to this while lying on my back just relaxing, it ended, and I was shocked to see that it was about ten minutes long.

[MsCesper]

when i'll be dead i'll be dead a long time,

but the wine's so pleasant and so sublime

lovethisalbum

[Lessproductivestuff]

Waits is more Dylan than Dylan.

[ZachsGayCat]

@Lessproductivestuff Dylan is a myth.

[pushyoureyesin]

Wow

[BaxterD]

Brilliant album. Soul food.

[padmaluv]

@BaxterD yes indeed

[padmaluv]

@BaxterD

yes indeed



[Giavannanow]

Tom Waits is a lyrical genius -

someone who can create soundscapes

not only in his music,

but also in his lyrics.

He's got SOUL!

And the music of a man

struggling with his soul

can't help but be beautiful.

At least not to me ~

@movieonyoureyelids @thereegar It's sad if you don't listen to any other great musicians who haven't sold out, cause they're plentiful. You just dont hear them since they're not on lowest common denominator radio or that industry cash cow spotify

[FatherLucho]

The perfect song for a cold and snowy morning.

[TheNa7a]

i just started listening to him and i love his voice, and now i even take naps listening to him.

[rhuhges7880]

"everything I done is between God and me"

[guitarlover891]

@rhuhges7880 genius

[TheReegar]

can someone please upload "potters field" by the waits. its a top song and i cant find a decent version on here. cheers ;)

[TheReegar]

@movieonyoureyelids You're dead right mate. Even dylans on the telly these days selling jeans or some shit.

[carmenonly]

i love you tom waits

[baa1966]

I wish he could have motivated John Lurie to stay as great as he is

[baa1966]

There are great musicians in the world, but I never saw a man who is THAT great for more than 30 years

[procrastinator99]

Waits is great for listening if you're drinking hard liquor. I love him.

[Batman081164]

Discover all sides of Life, of Death, Beneath and Beyond, Reality and Imagination ... let yourself go ... deeper and deeper ...

[supliez]

There is a whole world waiting in tom waits music. Check out "Hoist that Rag", "Make it Rain" and "Dead and Lovely" from this album

[spindw]

Holy hell, is this song good. I got into Tom Waits really recently, and... now i see what i've been missing. Awesome!

[revjimbeam]

if only all of his songs were this long...

[harrisongsrule]

i just finished listening to everything tom waits has ever done. i'm ready to die any time now.

[VikkiEatsPie]

@harrisongsrule I'm doing the same here :)

[DackIsBack]

Who needs religion when you've got Tom Waits. ;d

[rimbaud108]

I'm gonna take the sins of my father, take the sins of my mother, take the sins of my brother down to the pond... does the light of god blind you or lead the way home for you?

[grenadine1987]

a re ellada!!!!!!!! we love you tom waits greece :)

[theotp7]

ti kommatara !

[LAVRION]

εξαιρετικο!!!

[WhyteEagle]

This track always amazes me, so long, minimalistic and lumbering, but never ever boring. Love it. :D

[Fauxyourself]

This is really GREAT song <3

[ChrisCummins]

It's so incredible when this song finishes and 'Shake It' breaks in on the stereo. Total contrast.

[DrBlowfins]

Great stuff.

[benpatt73]

love it

[megadankk]

I dont know if its on this album, but the "whats he building in there" song, or ramble i should say, is that on this album? its been so long since ive owned it.

[steveokennell]

That tune is on mule variations. Another great album

[upchuckwilson]

Its on "mule variations", pretty sweet as well.

[ChrisCummins]

It's on Mule Variations.

[Varderion]

@ChrisCummins

Nay,

it's on "Real gone"

[ChrisCummins]

@Varderion I was responding to someone who asked asked what album 'whats he building in there' is on, however, when YouTube decided to change it's comment system, it gave up on all hopes of maintaining a chronology to comment replies... :)

[harrisongsrule]

@ChrisCummins they shouldn't have changed the comments, it's just a pain in the ass now.

[thenandovernow]

simply the greatest living songwriter.

[megadankk]

You couldnt be so RIght Thenandovernow

he is one of the Greatests Artists of the

21st Century

[gouesmelm]

Saw that Tom Waits 10 years ago, THE concert of my life!!!! That guy is somebody...special! Great artist.

[fawnbabz]

Ah... Brilliantly sexy

[TheWisdomTree]

one of the greats of our time. a very important artist.

[sonnysburning5133]

i would give a year of my life to see him live

[FEKIFIKNOW]

One of the great concerts I got to see a couple of decades ago was Tom Waits and Laura Nyro on the same stage. Was amazing!

[heavymama]

there's another plus for u m8, could not have put it better myself ( :

[alone45wolf]

small minded?

sure....

NUJABES is real music

if they came up with a mix with

tom waits it be chill.

the cofee shop thing was a joke

lol.

[ruejacobs]

Tom Waits is a genius.

[sweetbilly]

Wow, never heard of him or his music before ....but i like!! :)

[bihlbo]

I strongly recommend getting into Tom Waits, if you haven't yet.

[bihlbo]

It was directed at the guy who said he'd never heard of Tom Waits before, but thought this was cool. For some reason the Reply button didn't make my comment a reply.

[suburbansusie8]

I had that happen with the reply button too, bihlbo! Let's see if it does it...

[KiraPlaysGuitar]

Welcome to Youtube my friend...

[sweetbilly]

Yeah I bought a couple of his albums a couple of days ago, love them.

[nuttah137]

@bihlbo Amen to that only just started listening to him what a beautiful sound. close your eyes and watse a few hours of your day relaxing to this thats the life.

[chainghost]

i met him in a bar in regina saskachewan canada he was drinkin schotch on rocks and i was drinkin a glas of vodka he tought me so much jsut sitting and listening it was amazing

[Braighs]

wtf is this comment about. I hate that coffee shop and I like this music.

[wanderer1031]

sigh....(shakes head sadly)....is that the best reference you can come up with? what a shallow small minded uncultured shame our children have become....

[takisdog]

απλα γαμησε

[RogerioMartins87]

I can not believe we do not have music like that these days anymore, the man is a poet, ono who can shape feelings with words and draw tears even from those who believes there is none to shed. Maybe because he knows what pain is? I do not know, but the weight of his words carry the truth of what we carry in the soul.

[LesaneRecords]

We don't have music like this anymore? Tom Waits is still making music!

[Bandaids4ever]

Well said!

Except, Tom Waits is still making music today. Other than that, though, VERY well said.

[TOMMYd0888]

Proof that free speech has its draw backs...

[Jesus1672x]

From what I understand he stopped drinking decades ago...

[bev49]

i had the honor and privilege to see him live 3 times. There is no one and i mean no one who comes close to him. His shows are magic. He is too cool.

[axLhimself]

I got this album from my brother for christmas.. It is truly a masterpiece.. I like the allover sound of the album.. Nice sound.. You wouldnt think it was from 2004 when you listen to it.. Les Claypool and Brain from primus play on a few of the songs and thats pretty cool too..

[dickaldordavid]

Ladies and gentlemen: A true artist! Before I die I´m going to see this man live.

[budmotor]

my father has a primate style

[akamonkeynut]

exquisite!

[Judith912]

I love this CD. First heard it whilst sipping a mojito in a cocktail bar called Ginger in Barcelona...

[eimearann]

this man needs alot of investgation!! he,s a wee star as we say in ireland.

[clubsandwedge]

we do not say that in Ireland

[stukas14]

if at all, wee say that in scotland!

[rossfinnegan01]

@clubsandwedge why would we??

[bzwaig]

@clubsandwedge what don't u say?

[clubsandwedge]

@bzwaig 'he's a wee star'

[MrCroniker]

@clubsandwedge yes we do :)

[universalcitizen1970]

The instruments sound as soft as silk moving in a slight breeze.Tom Waits' voice has a monk-chanting-cowboy-crooning-­sexy-bad-boy-watching-the-girl­s-go-by sound.

[okrimirko]

beautifully put! ;)

[StonefieldJim4]

I'll second that. An enviable turn of phrase.

[ArmyMan4500]

yes GOOD!
