Tom Waits-Take it With Me-Alan Rickman

Take it With Me

Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you're goin
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away

Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a heart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go

Sorry to be so thick, but could you tell me what movie/movies this video was taken from?

Thanks much!

[kliz9]

The Movies are Snowcake,Close My Eyes,and a awfully big adventure

[kmartbass]

Oh . . my . . . G-- For weeks I have been listening to the version of this magical song by the vocal group MOSS, amazing in its way. Seeing and hearing this is a revelation. I would love to know more about the song. Heartbreakingly simple melody, deep lyric. Thanks so much for posting.

[kliz9]

I am glad you enjoyed the video!

[kliz9]

I have been told it is a afavorite of his but i really do not know for sure..Glad you liked it!

[kliz9]

Thanks Nancy!!

[Cubachik]

Beautifully done - I wish there was a way to get this to him, as a tribute to him, since he loves the song (I didn't know that) What a lovely job you've done, really. He's so fine! And Tom Waits sounds amazing, it's true. Thank you so much.

I have known for a long time that this is Alan's favorite romantic song. To see it put to a video is absolutely breathtaking. PMG, this is simply beautiful. Tnank you for such a wonderful post.

[raintravelling]

this is my favorite song.

[StonefieldJim4]

Clearly a man of exquisite taste. TW's masterful 'Take it With Me' is a song that, when push comes to shove, I'll be pencilling in for my funeral. (Note the clip from the excellent Poliakoff film, 'Close My Eyes'.)

WHAT A VOICE?! :) IT MAKES ME WANT TO SLEEP! :)

[31iidna]

Pics of him...with his fav song.

Oh my good, thanks, whoever you are.

[forditon]

Alan Rickman's favourite song...so beautiful

[pstrakes]

That a good video you've made, I think Rickman is the perfect person to have used. I adore this song and am learning the piano just so I can sing it to my wife properly, the last time I sung it to her she was my girlfriend and I was in a hospital bed with very little hope of recovery. I did recover, thank fully, now we are married and have a very small brown-eyed daughter who I also intend to sing this to one day....
