Tom Waits' Innocent When You Dream

I love the innocence and simplistic beauty in this song. Tom's version is completely different, it sort of sounds like a drunk circus. this is my innocent-child-like-take on it. hope you enjoy!

it doesn't sound like a drunk circus. it sounds like an opera. the song is sung by frank the accordion player for the theatrical production of "big time" written by Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan. I get tired of people using the words "drunk" as a description. Put some more thought into it and if you cannot take criticism, don't post videos because people are going to have rude words for someone who writes dumb descriptions in their videos.

Also you put no feeling into this at all.

@DrunkenPiano trust me, drunk is NOT a bad connotation for me. I love using the word to describe music. Perhaps it doesn't mean the same thing to both of us.

Oh, and your name is drunkenpiano.

I really don't understand why katiekh say "only nice words please"

Surely a person can live through a critque?

[katiekh]

@LabRat6619 I basically meant no unnecessary comments that have nothing to do with the music. Sometimes people like to talk about stupid stuff like, my looks vs what is happening in the video. I find it unnecessary.

Of course I can take a critique! I survived 4 years of art school for crissakes

why in the world should i prefer the brutality of tom to this "cute" cunt

[katiekh]

@canakin216 real nice.

[virtuosooo]

@canakin216 lol maybe I'm drunk... but how is anyone supposed to take that? I can't tell if its a complement to either tom or her or an attack lol. cause it sounds like you're saying brutality of tom like its a bad thing, but I love it. And you call her cute in quotations as if implying she's not and then call her a cunt. sounds kinda dickish to me, but it made me laugh. Like I said though... I'm drunk. So fuck what I think

An interesting take on this song. As soothingly comforting as it was unexpected. You're like ice cream at the right temperature and I like that. May the drunkenpianos (ironically dim?) fall into their respective crevases silently

@poolpig I hope you get my point Katie :)

[poolpig]

Hi Katie I like veeery much your version of Innocent, singed as a lullaby. Hello from Italy!

[aaaarrrgggghh]

Kathiekh great cover and don't worry about the ever floating tossers you get on youtube, they have nothing else to do than spreading bad karma around.

come to my house and murder me

I felt the FEELINGS... lol Just because it's not balls to the wall doesn't mean it doesn't have feeling.  You "CRITICS" sound more "BURNED OUT" to me.

I think she did it beautifully and it's a great rendition with the softer touch of this young woman.

[JusMe1369]

Very BEAUTIFUL Katie. Keep working on it Hon. You're doing great and growing well.
