  • What Earnest Hemingway was to literature, Tom waits is to music. A slice of life from the dark side ....the side most of us sooner or later experience.

  • Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but saying Tom Waits is a bad musician, that's like, OBJECTIVELY wrong. You're not even within the purview of opinion anymore. It's like saying Anderson Silva is a bad fighter.

  • live Big Time version is even better

  • @stihlhead1 Seriously? EARNEST? you ruined such a wise comment

  • Blue-eyed soul standard!

  • @EdenConsciousness Yeah, he may be a fighter, but Anderson Silva he is not.

  • @krastavac84 here here... Very good recall of that episode. It did alot for Tom Waits.

  • This song is the inspiration for Adrian McKinty's new book, The Cold Cold Ground.

  • cheers mike.

  • Pure magic...why say any more? Way to go Tom. More please....

  • My first recollection about this wonderful song is an episode of "Homicide-Life on the Street" in which Luther Mahoney, the arch nemesis of Lewis and Kellerman screws them over one more time, and then, near the end of the episode, the song begins while we are seeing mixed shots of them two getting plastered because they failed again, and Mahoney grinning in front of newspapermen, and then whacking the remaining snitches. The song got me listening to Tom Waits, and I've never stopped since then.

  • i stood on the cold, cold ground in an old cemetary in st louis today, and watched as they lowered EmmaLouise C. into the cold, cold ground. a true lady. and a long life. and i thought about this song, and my chest welled up with emotion. tom has such a gift for conveying what it is like to be human.
