    Tom could sing about the correct way to mow a lawn and it would still be captivating and heartwrenchingly beautiful

      *gravelly vibrato*
      You gotta mow it east to west, trim it end to end,
      And when you're done the row, you gotta push it back again.
      Yeah, that sun beats down, but you gotta get it done.
      When your throat gets parched, Jimmy Beam's your friend.
      Yup. Seems legit to me. XD

    I'm not a religious person. I don't believe in any god. But every now and then I feel like I have to listen to this song because I feel small and I need forgiveness or consolation like any other person.

    For me it's just the opposite. I lost my mother and brother to suicide. Left me changed. This song for me is a call to come back to life from the cold loneliness of exile. Drop the burden, the old wound, the chronic complaint, and come on up to the house of your soul. Invite friends over.

    • @olivermorton9748

      Amen Brother… that was a cruel hand to be dealt, it’s more than enough to lose a friend in that manner 😔 I hope you have persevered & taken many strides forward into YOUR deeper life…☝️& invited your friends Up to the House 🏡 Cheers 🍻 & all the best - 🌻

    • @attiylanen
      @attiylanen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      This song is exactly about what you're experiencing - not the "opposite". Song is about acceptance. We all have our issues and everyone's flawed in some way, no-one's life is perfect and it's not always fair. The song is about climbing down
      from the cross of victimization and coming up to the house to join others and start doing something worthwhile. "All your cryin' don't do no good." i.e. stop whining and start chopping some wood for the stove.

  • @nunliski

    I will never be able to listen to this song without thinking about one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever encountered in life. Strangely enough, it was in rehab, and we bonded over music. Even made beautiful music together. We discussed this song at length late into the night and I will never forget it. JJ, if you ever see this, know that you changed my life and I’ll love you forever. I hope you’re doing well and you have your daughter back. We will meet again someday. Come down off the cross, we can use the wood. 🖤

  • @xesredum1

    in my opinion the song is rather cheerful. i think "the house" represents a person or a group of persons that know exactly what you are going through because they have been there too.
    so whenever life fucks you up you can go to a place that will listen and provide support.
    thats a comforting thought

  • @gemhunter498
    @gemhunter498 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I just threw together some random chords on the piano, then looked them up on a website that shows the chords of popular songs and found this. this song is so emotional, so caring, yet somehow still happy at the same time. It's confident you will get through your trials, while also experiencing them in a complete way. It's a perfect response to what i was feeling when i happened to pick those 4 chords to play on piano. There is something about this music that carries that feeling of sadness yet confidence, even if there were no words. I don't know anything about the artist, but they put their whole heart and soul into this song, and i can feel that.

    Don,t be nailed, come down and work with us.
    Come on up to the house.
    Father gets busy, and a Son never forget. So come on up to the house.
    If there is light in the tunnel, much came threw .
    Come on up to the house.
    If you dont believe in god thats true, your ancestors waiting for you.
    Come on up to the house.

  • @CadicusTheDamned
    @CadicusTheDamned 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The house is the peace of oblivion... From whence we came, so shall we return to non-existence... The world is not our home, we are just passing through... No light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire... No Heaven, no Hell... Tom Waits is obviously an unbeliever. This is agnostic gospel.

    Saved my life. Alcohol drugs cutting myself putting cigarettes out on my arm(something that happened to me when I was young) I pushed people away because i din't trust and messed everything up because I thought they ere out to get me, on top of my own self abuse( whipped by the forces that are inside you) He really let me know its ok. That things happen for a reason. That if you let it go to what happened, you too can be ok.
    Listen to the man, he's more than another songwriter, he knows!

      @JimmyTheRail 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Anna Reed if there is one thing my main man Tom is not, it's underrated. He's a world renowned genius with a decades long, rabid and enormous cult following of people who'd gladly take a bullet for the man. He's just not a fixture of pop music and that's probably a good thing in the end.

    • @SkiDaBird
      @SkiDaBird 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's what the OC meant though. Most people haven't heard of him, but this is great music.

    • @JimmyTheRail
      @JimmyTheRail 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The OC used the word underrated which is an insult to this great man and musician. People who know about music, know about Tom Waits. And I'm talking millions of people across the world. "Most people" is not accurate. He's a legend and the sort of people who have missed this extraordinarily popular artist are not the determiners of how well rated he is. Just because ya'll haven't heard of him doesn't mean he is underrated. I wouldn't bother but it matters. Or maybe it doesn't. Whatever.

    • @SkiDaBird

    Lyrics
    Well, the moon is broken and the sky is cracked
    Come on up to the house
    The only things that you can see is all that you lack
    Come on up to the house
    All your crying don't do no good
    Come on up to the house
    Come down off the cross, we can use the wood
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    The world is not my home
    I'm just a-passing through
    You got to come on up to the house
    There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire
    Come on up to the house
    And you're singing lead soprano in a junkman's choir
    You got to come on up to the house
    Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
    Come on up to the house
    The seas are stormy and you can't find no port
    Got to come on up to the house, yeah
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    The world is not my home I'm just a-passing through
    You got to come on up to the house, yeah
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    The world is not my home
    I'm just a-passing through
    You got to come on up to the house
    There's nothing in the world that you can do
    You gotta come on up to the house
    And you been whipped by the forces that are inside you
    Gotta come on up to the house
    Well, you're high on top of your mountain of woe
    Gotta come on up to the house
    Well, you know you should surrender, but you can't let it go
    You gotta come on up to the house, yeah
    Gotta come on up to the house
    Gotta come on up to the house
    The world is not my home I'm just a-passing through
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Gotta come on up to the house
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Yeah yeah yeah

  • @parknmart
    @parknmart 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's a song in many ways about shelter, similar in ways to Shelter From the Storm, but Tom puts it in revival tent style to give it added depth. Sometimes troubles come from outside, ie moon/night, sky, seas or from inside, 'the forces inside you'. Just an invite from ole Tom to say if life ain't treatin' you well, come in and have some tea. This is all temporary.

    • @mulliniks51
      @mulliniks51 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dylan's tune is an homage to the divine Goddess and the ' shelter ' she can bring . Tom's ' House' is a place of refuge for the weary soul . So yeah .... interesting comparison .

    I watched this while high and it's like a mantra. The beating, pumping heart of resilience no matter what horrors it finds within itself. Terrifying, really -- the sort of thing that drives men to zen & creative ambition. To alleviate suffering, all hail, the Bodhisattva, the angel that chose to remain fallen to be within us, to give us hope from the other side that all can be well.

    This song, along with "Cold Cold Ground" and "Dirt in the Ground" comprise the triad of Waits tunes I want playing at my funeral

    Wonderful video that to me really captures the song. Respect to all the interesting opinions on the meaning. My own take is that it is a song about getting help when you need it. 'Coming on up to the house' reminds me of an invitation you would get as a kid playing in the neighbourhood and you've had a fall or later in life after a funeral you would be asked.'come on up to the house' where you get comfort and strength from others.Oh, for some reason there's a smell of fresh bread in the house!

    My favourite line is 'There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire', just the way he sings it out is amazing! Such a beautiful song.

    One of my favourite songs on the album along with Pony and What’s He Building In There? . Awe-inspiring. Magnificent lyrics too. ‘Come down off the cross - we can use the wood’.

    I absolutely adore this song. And video... Its very raw but so incredibly real. And yes I agree- tears seem to just come up listening to this. "The world is not my home I'm just passing through" Biblical but honest about life in so many ways...

    As a Christian, I have to admit that I view it through the lens of my faith. This song has gotten me through some tough times. Others have said that it's more secular in nature. TW has been known to sing about spiritual issues a lot. I think he leaves it open to interpretation, but mostly, I think it's about humbling ones self and admitting that some things, you just have to surrender to the Higher Power.
