Nothing worse than being sat, having a moment, wailing away in a pool of tears when someone comes and tidies up around you. Fuck!

The thing I always fail to understand how a man can play piano in a subtle way like this, with those crooked hands (look at it on 3:31).
This is my favourit song, I've bougth the album (blue valentines) somewhere in the nineties and heard it for a million times or more. After all this time it still brings me to tears.

One of my favourite Tom Waits songs. I just love this performance.

"Growin' up". It's about empowerment. Here's the testimony of an adolescent cataloguing that which empowers boys of that age: a catalogue of mischief : breaking windows, smoking cigs', jumping off roofs, etc. But the real empowerment is love: the braggart loves a wheelchair bound friend who could never participate in such acts of empowerment on his own, so the braggart will take action to share such exploits with him, thus empowering his friend also.
I can't stop weeping. Thank you Tom.

there's nothing like a Tom Waits binge for falling in love with an old song, for the first time.

Hope Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. Emily Dickinson

I love the way his lyrics seem to be taking you down a certain path and then all of a sudden they bitch slap you until you cry like a baby.
