And by tracing it twice / I fell through the ice / of Alice..."
I have to stop whatever I'm doing whenever this song comes on. Waits' imagery is haunting yet magical here. It took a while for me to really get into Waits, but I'm a true fan now. This song I think displays a high point in his song-writing abilities.

O tempo passa, a vida segue, já são 4 anos e 7 meses, e ainda assim, volta e meia eu estou por aqui, ouvindo essa música outra vez. Não sei porque faço isso, mas as vezes eu tenho vontade de sentir aquilo que eu desejei nunca mais sentir. Parece loucura...

Shut up and enjoy the sentiment that man puts into his songs.
There are blogs for your quarrels.

And now, here I am, as audience. Asking the artist, you, to clarify the words he wrote.
Now it seems that you cant explain it, because you choose to call me godless and a pessimist. As if its even relatable. Also you start to poeticly describe the situation instead of telling me the point of the first 'poem'. Also you say i make YOU seem pointless, because i criticize a poem you wrote in, probaly, 5 minutes. I never meant to give you the feeling you didnt matter in this world.

You see, This is a comment with contents. Very wise words indeed.
But if you say that im wrong, and that collection of fancy words at the top truly has a meaning, i ask you to clearify it.
like this sentence: "dancing with ebb and tide just in jeans, barefeet and bracelets... and closed eyes, emotion..."
An artist is glad to explain the meaning of his words. Because he wrote it with an intention. An intention he likes to get across to his audience.

The girl I'm in love with is called Alice: "All I can think of is Alice", "there's only Alice.."

The feeling tom waits give is more than enough..

@generationbexx you paint with a friendly flower....

Therefore, I dont feel that its an effort to reach out or express or connect to waits artistry. I believe it was a couple of 'pseudo-poetic' sentences following up to eachother. To fool people into giving thumbs up.
But if you beg the differ, i kindly ask you to explain the poetry. Cause if you really meant to be poetic, i dont want to offend you or anything.
I feel I'm a sprite, dancing in Tom Wait's garden after midnight... really I'm in the sweet, sweaty, living room of my apartment, dancing with ebb and tide just in jeans, barefeet and bracelets... and closed eyes, emotion...
Tom carries a song like an emotion you weren't sure you wanted anyone to know about, and drags it lucidly but wet, down a mountain of hope... into a question mark. Leaves you there, walks off stage... I will appreciate his existence forever.
