>That feel when you can't make someone else love you until you love yourself. >That feel when you already hate yourself too much to ever love yourself.
God damn. This is just the nicest. "But there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel You can pawn your watch and chain But not that feel It always comes and finds you It will always hear you cry I cross my wooden leg And I swear on my glass eye It will never leave you high and dry Never leave you loose It's harder to get rid of than tattoos"
That feel when you got that feel from listening to that feel and reading the comments about them feels and having those feels when you have that feel for the people having those feels.
I first heard this tune when I was a teenager many moons ago; it's only as i've got older has That Feel become more poignant with each subsequent listen. At first it's a discordant tune but the more you listen to it the more you appreciate its subtleties. In short, the love you feel for another person is so pure that it can never be sullied. That's how I feel about my son.
Only Waits and Richards can put a song like this together- the words to this song and ambiguity makes this one of a kind. To be a fly on the wall when they got their heads together for this one would of been a sight to see. I think you'd have to be ripped out of your head to result a song like this-very dark, very genius! A+++++
Great great great great great great just great. Cried the very first time I heard it, a million years ago when the album first came out. I was in my freshman dorm. I knew what it meant then even though it would be 20 more years till I really knew.
"You've never been high until you have a fever dream of tom waits, then wake up the next morning to tom waits himself asking why you broke into his house and if you would like pancakes for breakfast"-Keith Richards.
Lyrics Well there's one thing you can't lose It's that feel Your pants, your shirt, your shoes But not that feel Throw it out in the rain, you can whip it like a dog You can chop it down like an old dead tree You can always see it When you're coming into town Once you hang it on the wall you can never take it down But there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel You can pawn your watch and chain But not that feel Always comes and finds you, it will always hear you cry I cross my wooden leg and I swear on my glass eye It will never leave you high and dry Never leave you loose It's harder to get rid of than tattoos But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel You can throw it off a bridge, you can lose it in the fire You can leave it at the altar, it will make you out a liar Fall down in the street, you can leave it in the lurch Well, you say that it's gospel but I know that it's only church And there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel It's that feel You can't lose, and it's that feel, oh yeah One thing you can't lose, and it's that feel You can't lose, and it's that feel
>tfw you finally work up the courage to ask out the girl of your dreams >tfw she says yes >tfw you do everything together >tfw one day it's just you and her, lying under the sky and just watching clouds float by >tfw you lean over and gently kiss her >tfw life is, for a split second, completely perfect >tfw you wake up
I know that feel bro. Took me months but now I'm finally over her. For some reason I managed to think to myself that she is not worth it, there is someone better for me - and there is someone better for you too :)
that feel when you realize that having that feel of being a lame, aint that bad and that you can imrprove and can become better from being a loser because once your at the bottom only way to go is up, so you embrace the feel and let what use to worsen you better you. good thing i can never lose the feel then.... good thing
I believe it. Keith Richards either had nothing to do & owed Waits a favor or he is a most reliable, best friend a musician of Tom Waits' weight could hope for. I like to think Richards is that kind of friend because quite simply -- Tom Waits is worth it. If I were of that calibre musician I'd catch the next plane to Tom Waits' studio. How could you not? I wish Elvis Presley had lived long enough to do an entire lp of Tom Waits songs with just a trio. "Martha" would be first.

That feel . . . it's the soul. Guys like Levon Helm, Tom Waits, Jon Spencer, Dr. John, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, BB King and all those amazing cats got.
How Waits co-wrote this with Keith Richards is an interesting story. Waits, who only composes with his wife, was in the studio and having a difficult time with the guitar part of some other song. His assistant asked if he wanted anything (food?) and Waits responded in jest "Yeah, get me Keith Richards." A while later his assistant confirmed that Richards would be there in a few days. Waits yelled "no, I was kidding!," but could not think of a way to uninvite Richards. "That Feel" resulted.
It always comes and finds you... It will always hear you cry... I cross my wooden leg... And I swear on my glass eye... It will never leave you high and dry... Never leave you loose... It's harder to get rid of than tattoos...
@RedLeftFist Thanks for the post Wonder what happened to the video of this where Keith Richards was included in the pictures He is singing backup No disrespect to Tom who without a doubt is a national treasure but the two together make a beautiful team
Yes, oh yes... unhinged... I liked that word. Songs that are, shall we say, just barely hanging on, just holding by a thread leaves me just mystified. Songs like this come from artist like Waits and Richards. Fuckin Genius! Not sloppy. Its when how far can a song be pulled out by its ends without it becoming sloppy, with the centrifical force holding it together. Thats whats happening here. Simply beautiful. Oooooh that feel and God bless his sole.
who in popular music is capable of writing about the soul? who would take it on and SUCCEED??? no one but this genius of a man. amazing song.
>That feel when you can't make someone else love you until you love yourself.
>That feel when you already hate yourself too much to ever love yourself.
Same
God damn. This is just the nicest.
"But there's one thing you can't lose
And it's that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
It always comes and finds you
It will always hear you cry
I cross my wooden leg
And I swear on my glass eye
It will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It's harder to get rid of than tattoos"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH KILL ME
That feel when you got that feel from listening to that feel and reading the comments about them feels and having those feels when you have that feel for the people having those feels.
I know that feel...
Why can't you hold all those feels?
That feel when you can't even remember the person you used to be before depression
Those who don't have that feel are the outliers
What I love about this piece. Is that it's more se la vie than woe is me.

Will everyone please stand for the men's national anthem.
Straight men, actually there lot of gay men (I'm not gay by the way) who doesn't have same feels towards females like you and me.
You can listen to Tom Waits songs all night, but you still can't lose that feel >:C
My feel is the feel that will pierce the heavens.
It only makes sense that the FromSoft loremaster would also be a Tom Waits fan, their atmosphere and his songs go hand in hand
What are the lore implications of this?
One of my favorite Tom Watis' songs. It blows my mind everytime.
How can a song that is so unhinged sound so beautiful., thats the genious of Mr Waits
This is way up there, in a number of ways, but especially the ferocious soul on fire.
The soundtrack to my life. Great slideshow accompanying a great song. Thanks for sharing. Karen
maybe the most beautiful of ll of tom's songs. maybe one of the most beautiful of ALL songs.
I don't know what you are all talking about. I just love Tom and reach for his music whenever I need 'that feel'.
Only Waits and Richards can put a song like this together- the words to this song and ambiguity makes this one of a kind. To be a fly on the wall when they got their heads together for this one would of been a sight to see. I think you'd have to be ripped out of your head to result a song like this-very dark, very genius! A+++++
gets me in the feels, evr tim
I don't think anyone can TRULY know the feel that Tom Waits was feel. Sounds like a burning feel that feels like no feel ever feeled before.
Great great great great great great just great. Cried the very first time I heard it, a million years ago when the album first came out. I was in my freshman dorm. I knew what it meant then even though it would be 20 more years till I really knew.
great pictures!
"You've never been high until you have a fever dream of tom waits, then wake up the next morning to tom waits himself asking why you broke into his house and if you would like pancakes for breakfast"-Keith Richards.
The most inspirational song ever. Never fails to lift me up, especially coming at the end of Bone Machine like it does.
I totally understand that feel bro. We all know that feel.
Lyrics
Well there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel
Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
But not that feel
Throw it out in the rain, you can whip it like a dog
You can chop it down like an old dead tree
You can always see it
When you're coming into town
Once you hang it on the wall you can never take it down
But there's one thing you can't lose
And it's that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
Always comes and finds you, it will always hear you cry
I cross my wooden leg and I swear on my glass eye
It will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It's harder to get rid of than tattoos
But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel
But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel
You can throw it off a bridge, you can lose it in the fire
You can leave it at the altar, it will make you out a liar
Fall down in the street, you can leave it in the lurch
Well, you say that it's gospel but I know that it's only church
And there's one thing you can't lose
And it's that feel
It's that feel
You can't lose, and it's that feel, oh yeah
One thing you can't lose, and it's that feel
You can't lose, and it's that feel
>tfw you finally work up the courage to ask out the girl of your dreams
>tfw she says yes
>tfw you do everything together
>tfw one day it's just you and her, lying under the sky and just watching clouds float by
>tfw you lean over and gently kiss her
>tfw life is, for a split second, completely perfect
>tfw you wake up
I don't know how, but Tom Waits knows my feels.
That feel when the top comments are the same.
Great song, one of his best, really beautifull.
To appreciate Tom Waits you have to listen with your heart, not just your ears.
Came for the meme, stayed for the beautiful music.
is there a Tom Waits meme that I don't know about?
handymandan100
Not a Tom Waits meme, but a meme related to "That Feel." As in "I know that feel bro" or "That feel when no gf."
I'll never forget that feel
this song is everything.
He knows all of our feels, bro. He knows all of our feels.
The podcast Equinox 1985 brought me here. Raw, but beautiful song!
I have never lost that feel.
I know that feel bro.
Took me months but now I'm finally over her.
For some reason I managed to think to myself that she is not worth it, there is someone better for me - and there is someone better for you too :)
great!!!!!!!! love tom!!!
So many feels to feel.
Amazing feel.
that feel when you just want to reach into a song, grab the artist and give him a big ol' kiss.
That's how I feel with Tom Waits!
Everyone can feel these feels. Everyone has the right to feel. Sometimes its good to know where these feels originate.
Amazing lyrics.
that feel when listening to tom waits
Stellar! Spectacular! Phenomenal! Outstanding! (come on people, help me out) Incredible!
thanks to this song now I feel feels
It's that feel!!! My funeral song!!!!
this man is genius
this song is a masterpiece , that feel while listening this song , so beautiful and sad feel
Its like having to walk a distance in the cold. But gotta do it. So just whistle past the graveyard.
that feel when you'll never be good enough no matter what.
You. Will. Never. Be. Good. Enough.
I love how the backvocals turn into a bunch of zombies :D
that feel when you realize that having that feel of being a lame, aint that bad and that you can imrprove and can become better from being a loser because once your at the bottom only way to go is up, so you embrace the feel and let what use to worsen you better you. good thing i can never lose the feel then.... good thing

that feel when the song is genuinely good to inspire genuine feels.
That feel when you lose that feel
Dat feel you cant feel anymore because it's part of you now...forever...no matter what.
cant hold all these feels
So many feels. So little time.
dat feel bro, dat feel, so true...
SO MANY FEELS
i definitely know that feel.It's sad that we never know what happen to her
I don't ever wanna feel the feel I felt that day
The very embodiment of our suffering. The true representation of that feel... that sort of feely feel.. that feels....
oh god so many feels.
Well there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel
Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
But not that feel
Throw it out in the rain, you can whip it like a dog
You can chop it down like an old dead tree
You can always see it
When you're coming into town
Once you hang it on the wall you can never take it down
But there's one thing you can't lose
And it's that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
Always comes and finds you, it will always hear you cry
I cross my wooden leg and I swear on my glass eye
It will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It's harder to get rid of than tattoos
But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel
But there's one thing you can't lose, it's that feel
You can throw it off a bridge, you can lose it in the fire
You can leave it at the altar, it will make you out a liar
Fall down in the street, you can leave it in the lurch
Well, you say that it's gospel but I know that it's only church
And there's one thing you can't lose
And it's that feel
It's that feel
You can't lose, and it's that feel, oh yeah
One thing you can't lose, and it's that feel
You can't lose, and it's that feel
This song gives me feel
That feel . . . it's the soul. Guys like Levon Helm, Tom Waits, Jon Spencer, Dr. John, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, BB King and all those amazing cats got.

I looked up "That feel", and I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite musicians had a song called "That Feel". Anyone else know that feel?
>tfw you close to making it.
We're all gonna make it.
we're all gonna make it to the dirt nest for a forever sleep...
That feel when this song.
It always comes and finds you... It will always hear you cry... I cross my wooden leg... And I swear on my glass eye... It will never leave you high and dry... Never leave you loose... It's harder to get rid of than tattoos...
It's that feel!!!
This song gave me a feel
So many... feels
I didn't feel as a child. Now I have that feel
>you will never lose that feel
We all feel the feel bro
That feel when all the comments on a video from the greatest musician of all time are about KS
that feel when love is so painful that even Tom Waits waits for it.
that feel when everyone refers to your house as "the house where nobody lives" but in reality you live there but never leave. you just feel feels
that feel when its a lonely new years followed by another lonely birthday
That feel when one thing you love unites with another thing you love. Memes and Tom Waits 4ever. If just more people could become Waitsians now! ^_^
I like this feel
Awesome song OP
the album is called Bone Machine
that feel when you can't lose that feel
@RedLeftFist Thanks for the post Wonder what happened to the video of this where Keith Richards was included in the pictures He is singing backup No disrespect to Tom who without a doubt is a national treasure but the two together make a beautiful team
Don`t you ever lose that feel...
Tom Waits knows that feel.
@BroadwayRonMexico I'm feelin' some Fear and Loathing in Tucson right now myself.

Saint Waits of the underdog.
You feel it too, don't you?

That feel when listening to that feel.
"It's harder to get rid of than tattoos"

@SEGACClownboss. You are so so right, Beautiful song.
Damn it Waits! I wanna lose that feel :(
That feel when you download this song in a manner that won't give him money
Feels bad man.
It's like Tom Waits knows my feels.
