Just for the record this has nothing to do with a WWI soldier. Google Banjo Paterson and then the poem's title and you'll learn all about it.

@volksball Waits is a performance artist that you either 'get' or you don't. I don't always understand fully what his meanings are but seldom have I seen or heard a musician who can so suddenly transport you to another space and time. He is unique and taps into those places in our hearts that we are out of touch with and pulls them up for examination like no one else has done in a long time. This old tune dating from WWI about a shattered soldier has never been done with more passion.

Your opinion is limited to a simple growl in his voice. The man is a poet, performer and innovator. If you feel the need to draw comparisons, then do so, but give credit where credit is due. No one discounts what Armstrong has accomplished or his legacy, but Waits, beyond the gruff in his voice, is a completely different artist with a whole separate genius.
"Don't plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me. Choke those little bad days. Choke 'em down to nothin'. They're your days. Choke 'em!”

The contrast between his gruff cartoonish voice and the delicate nature of the song is ironic and intriguing. I like it.
