Got my theatre quality speakers on HIGH so my neighbors knock and I expect to be told, turn that down. Instead, they ask who this is, which is a gas. I know Tom from my teens and yet even then I had no idea he was such a gritty cat. Great guy, wicked wit and being just who he is- now all my neighbors play this song, Black Wings (for me) and 16 Shells... awesome and then some. LOUDER!!!
I told someone to check out the song Make it Rain... NOT that one or that one ...THIS ONE...this is the only song that does that 3 word title mean anything significant. Viva Waits you are not alone here
I want to hear that wise guy vocal coach that thinks he sing like anyone show us how this works. OH, I can tell you, a lot of booze a lot of cigarettes and a lot of pain.
I actually had a voice professor in college with his PHD in something related to voice. He basically explained that certain singers earn a unique voice over years of their vocal chords essentially getting scarred and calloused, damaged and rebuilt, etc. but many people find it pleasing. Also it can be nearly impossible to replicate, so a professional singer with otherwise "healthy/undamaged" vocal chords likely couldn't sing like Tom Waits , even if they wanted to. Thats how it works. So youre correct about the booze cigarettes and pain 😅
"I'm not Able/I'm just Cain" is SO brilliant.
This guy is amazing.
yes in so many ways
Just cant play this LOUD ENOUGH.......

I KNOOOOOOOOW! FUUUUUUCK!
one of my favorite songs of all time. tom waits is singular. cheers.
Amazing, just. Amazing how much I love Toms artistry .oh
The guitar solo is a masterpiece
Everything about this song is what blues music is all about.
That has to be one of the most unententionally racists things ever said...
Tom is a legend. 👏✌️
I'm just another sad guest
On this dark Earth
“Theyre sharpening their knives of my mistakes” truer words
It's the same old world
But nothing looks the same
Hell can't burn me
more than this
I wish it would really rain i'm feeling the blues its cloudy and overcast and mosquitoes everywhere and everything's dry.
Great voice 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
sharpening their knives, on my mistakes !!!
Try and sing this identically at 90 decibels and you will literally induce fury inside yourself. Incredible.
i know : )
This song throws out my voice in less than 1 verse
Fuck I love this song.
