#tomwaits #raindogs - เพลง
My whole life I adore Leonard Cohen, His songs/poems touches your soul. But he left an other gift: I found Tom Waits because of him.
Leonard wrote a poem about Tom Waits when he saw him on stage. Enjoy:
DREAM BRIGHTON:
Tom Waits singing - I hear him
I’m in a theatre - I’ve given
a show to a large audience
My show went well - I can’t
see him - I’m in my dressing
room - but I can hear him -
his music begin - it is so
beautiful and original and
sophisticated - so much better
than mine - some mélange
of harshness and sweetness -
modern and sentimental all
at once - even Kitsch used
so skillfully - I wish I
could do that - then he
starts to sing - so great -
I go down to hear him -
expecting a great
adoring crowd - but
he’s singing in a half-full
small theatre - a kind
of afterthought of a
theatre - we leave together
he puts his arm around
my shoulder - he looks
good - a bit beat up -
a bit older - but in full
possession of himself
Leonard Cohen
Thanks!
Thanks a lot ☺
I wouldn't mind Tom Waits singing outside my window every time there's a full moon
🖤🖤🖤
It’s a fool moon
I'd set out a six pack for him
Yesss!
If he could still sing
My son introduced me to him 23 years ago with “ The piano has been drinking” .. I’ve loved his music and his great humour ever since .. I’m 79 this year. ❤️Tom Waits
I like your son👍
Well that's nice. My father intruduced me to the music of Tom Waits around 27 years ago when we watched the film Smoke together.
Me too!

no, u don’t. liar.
🌿Happy, Happy Birthday🌿
the most beautiful song in the earth
Tom Waits writes songs about wounded people with just a few drops of dream left.
Beautifully put man..beautifully put. I'm definitely one of those "wounded dreamers"...guess most of us are.
Ah, Tom - you either love him or your heart is a shriveled up old prune.
I've been on the internet all day and this comment is the best thing I've seen, thank you.
No wonder his songs stay in my soul.
JJ is just upset because he likes Rod Stewart's abomination better.
Nothin in the world quite like drinking in a dive bar on a rainy day listening to Tom Waits...one of life's greatest joys
ya got it
exactly
4 years sober and there are definitely things I miss. That is one of them
Wasted and wounded
Ain't what the moon did
Got what I paid for now
We all been there
Yes!!! Spent many a mights myself in local dive bars, Closing Time
70s Waits was magnificent, but 80s Waits is just a whole other level. One of the defining turning points of modern day music.
Something beautiful about Tom Waits' gravelly imperfect voice singing about hope and dreams and love
I forget where I saw this, but someone once wrote that the difference between this version and the Rod Stewart cover (which is great in its own right), is that Rod is singing from his terrace in his Uptown doorman building while drinking a glass of wine, and Tom is singing outside of his Downtown walk-up and drinking out of a paper bag. It's perfect.
My favourite version is the Everything But The Girl version
truth....
"Drinking out of a paper bag." Lol. What a stigma that paints a picture of. I love it.
it's a perfect phrase of these duo version..
Jake lamotta.....wow....🥊💥🇦🇺👍
No matter who you are, you have faced loneliness, you have faced despair. Many people have reached the point of suicide, where they can't go on. Some have sadly crossed it. Some have been there and come back. Some have known people who went there and didn't. This music speaks to those of us who have been lonely, wounded dreamers, with a few drops of dream left, with a few drops of hope. And when you listen to this music, you know you are NOT alone.
this music is on lyricstraining
Well said:)
Very well said. I m reaching that point
Beautifully stated and I’m almost ready to give up.
Been there, thought about it, came back. It's words like yours vinn vass that can inspire to keep going. I'm still catching the downtown train, I just walk alone to get there. Cheers vinn vass.
Wunderschöner Song Tom warst einer der größten Künstler wir werden deine Songs nie vergessen sie bleiben immer lebendige🙋♀️🇩🇪🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏😍👍❤️
An American poet, singer, guitarist and just all around character. Love from NOLA .
Only one word suffices- GENIUS
Listen to Tom since I'm 16 years old - now I am 52!!!!!
you could've fooled me gorgeous looks like 16 never left you
74567889 listening to him since 18 now 43
Hahaha.... thank you :-)
+74567889 lol I m 16 and I ve been listening to him for a year now
Saw him when I was 19 or 20 and am now 63. So there.
Man - this is a great song! Tom Waits is one of the greatest songwriters ever! Love it!
Der Beste!!!!!
I absolutely love this song! Artists now try to sound so clean or fake. Waits does it raw in a beautiful way from the heart.
Other people have tried to sing this. Their efforts fell short on me. One and only Tom.
This song has always thrown me out into the street. Have heard a couple covers of this one, but nobody can do a Tom Waits song like Tom.
Great Singer also Great Actor....
Bought every record he's ever made, watched every movie he's been in! Saw him first in 1973 with a bass player, his piano and guitar and have seen every iteration of his stage show...I think about 12 times. Tom Waits is the absolute best. An American treasure.
Saw him at the Tomorrow Club in Youngstown OH, about 1979. I still remember that show. Great time. Tom Waits is an American icon. A diamond in the rough.
Possibly one of the best story tellers ever...along side Dylan & Springsteen in my opinion. 'Heart Attack & Vine' was the last album that I really loved - I wish he'd released a few more like that.
His wife has irish relatives so I'll say he,s part irish treasure where would we be without Tom Waits growling out words to make one weep, from an irish person
a wordly treasure US born.
I have to say though, after listening to his music for a bit i was kind of underwhelmed by some of the movies he was in (EG 7 psychopaths was far less interesting then i would have imagined a movie with Tom Waits). The Jim Jarmusch movies with him were great though.
Rising from the Southern California dust, Waits spins tales of romance, failure and accepting the freedom of the road. The American Dream through his wonderfully altered eyes.
Wrenchingly beautiful.
I love this song. It's meaning is full of hope and dreams . Thank You For All You Do. 😊
Very good Mondino cinematography, also. I love it.
If you got this far and just discovered tom waits then you are on the beginng of a great journey......enjoy the ride....it may take a while but it is worth it....
@@KoPianoBeautiful sorry dude.....missed a bit of text...hope it makes sense now....if not I will give up n delete it....
This is my favorite Tom Waits song, but TOM TRAUBERT’S BLUES is a very close second.
I've got a thousand songs on my top 100 list, but this one really is on my top 10. This and Jersey girl.
He touches souls!
An original and time tested artist. Funnier than all get out.
Mr. Waits captures a vagabond carny spirit and style that evaporated sometime between the 1930s and 1950s. He's a musical sturgeon. A brilliant dinosaur of sound.
His chit chat is a riot.
I ❤the guitar tone in this song so much.
Tom Waits. Icon. The voice of the downtrodden. Gravel voice and all. Beautiful.
Listening to this all my life! I am 73 years.....
GIVE THAT MAN A CI-GAR!!!!
Wish you longevity.

You are my idol from now. Your music taste has always been awesome then. Live happily sir, with lots of respect.
only joking man....but you look like a willy
I just being funny cos I had a wee - drink tonight. stay safe from Canterbury U.K.
I still think that this is one of the greatest opening lines EVER "outside another yellow moon has punched a hole in the nighttime" I mean, awesome. And this was the song and video that introduced me to the music of TOM WAITS.I've been hooked ever since.
Really? I've made fun of the lyrics for years. I agree about the first line. But everything after that doesn't make sense. If the sun has risen before he slips out his window and down to the street then how does he see these people every night? Although I do still like this specific release over any other.
@@TA_Plus_Hemi The sun is not mentioned.
Shining like a new dime
Was hat der Mann für gute Songs geschrieben. Unglaublich.
again one of the best songs by tom waits, but that list of best songs is near endless...
This is the song for the lost and wounded who only have a glimmer of hope left. I don't need the video, just the song.
I was fortunate enough to see Tom at the Paramount in Seattle in the 70's. I am 72 now (2021) and have loved his music since then. Tom and Bob Dylan are the only great poet musicians of my generation. Who would need more?
Hi there
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you’ve done for me throughout the years.
It’s a season of love😍❤️❤️ for me and so I decided to put a smile on the faces of my fans by going through my TH-cam channel and checking out on my fans, so I can get to communicate with my fans better through discussion of depth and humor listening to compliments and criticism of my career.❤️❤️💞💞💞🙏💓❣️💟💙💝💝....
I’d add Leonard Cohen.
I would add John Prine. A new singer/songwriter who has profound great lyrics is Carson McKee. Check out his originals.
I live in a seedy downtown area, and every night I go outside and feed about 50 stray cats while I sing and dance and make little music videos. It pisses my neighbors off. Seeing this video as a little kid on VH1 was my inspiration. It is my life now.
you are a very kind person. people who love animals are the best people.
Real life trolling
@@mariuspoppFM Exactly. You would not believe. Legendary troll. My neighbors hate me. Thank You, Tom Waits.
I think he is one of the most original singer song writers Ever.
Of course we have to be a little bit mad ,but you either get Tom weights genius or you don't just like his fantastic unusual voice . Anyway after many Tullamore Dews we all agreed that he's the business 👏👏👏🇨🇮🇨🇮
Masterpiece.

Quando voglio piangere, scaricarmi o urlare di gioia ascolto questo pezzo a tutto volume . Grazie Tom !
I've known today that it is a Tom Waits' song and not of Rod Stewart. Better late than never :)
It's always time for our American Treasure....Tom Waits. Thanks for doing what you do, sir.
I introduced my dad to Tom Waits now we both enjoy his music. And I’m a 20 year old his music is for everyone
Tom waits couldn't give a toss whats fashionable or what music is hip at the moment he just does his own thing and he always will and he's all the more respected for it love him or hate him you can't say he's not original
I'm 66yrs.. And just listening to Tom. Nice video... I used to like Rods version.. But this is The Best.. ( I like.. Down Bound Train) by Bruce.. (My X Boss!) 🎸🎶🥁🇺🇸
Mondino does a great job. He makes the song come alive.
Wish he lived below me, would listen every night. Can you hear the abject pain in his voice. I love this man
YEAH TOM YOU ARE THE LEGEND
This man is our brother. God love him.
Saw this video in the 80's and fell in love....
Now 35 years later its still one of my all time favorites.
Tom for ever✨☀️🌟🤗🙏👍
Tom playing the accordion while dancing along the river bank is a masterpiece in itself. Wonderful monochrome backdrop.
immense Tom ❤❤❤
Tom is the embodiment of what being a human is truly all about.
how do YOU ! come to such a conclusion. Please explain. or forever be the plebian..that you have become... Just cos you like a little- bit of "TOM WAITS" it does not figure that you are " the guardian of lifes rich philosophies " This kind of comment makes you sound " dumb" ....sorry..but how you make me feel. love & peace and finish your education. You can not live YOUR life ...through a poet's perspective. Makes you sound ..needy and stupid and probably an American.
Greetings from Canterbury U.K.
Roy Ferguson Christ, you’re an opinionated and half-educated fool. Hope the weather’s good in Canterbury UK 😂
I’m ready to give up but beauty like this this ...
Thanks Tom for a career of giving us all a masterclass on the soul of Old Weird America
Ascolto dopo un po’ di mesi.
Stessa emozione, stessa commozione, inalterata ammirazione per questo Grande Menestrello dei ns tempi.
Teressa is cool. We all need a Teressa in our lives, making the right decisions.
Love in a moment that haunts for a lifetime. Brilliant
Start listen Tom since 17. I v been listening him almost 40 years. I m still 17.
Great comment❤
th-cam.com/video/u3TOAzxeX7c/w-d-xo.html
Don't you ever effing grow up, you hear me?
I hope you will always stay 17 dear friend. Everyone who listens to Tom Waits as long as we do (since 20, listening to him almost 40 years too) will be forever 17.
I'm 66 and remember Tom woke me up one night (he was on the radio) when my house was burning, I was 26 that's 40 years
Altho i love his songwriting, its only his early recordings i can dig his vocal work . Its just a little more than i can take at times
YEAH TOM YOU ARE THE BEST
I wish there was a Tom singing on every street corner in the world. Every full moon.
Tom Waits is a genius and this video is beautiful.
Tom's my all time favorite trubadour.
Tom Waits, Infravalorado, muy adelantado para su tiempo;
WE love Tom wait,in France 🇫🇷👍🌟✨☀️Tom IS a Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨✨☀️☀️☀️☀️
Tom Waits, a true genious.
They're just thorns without the rose... So Excellent.
roses don't have thorns.
I’m so glad I managed to see him live.
If you've got a Tom Waits collection among your record collection you have excellent taste. The man is treasure.
I hated tom waits when I first heard him out of the radio from my high school sweetheart. She made me a better person and I’m forever grateful to her and yes I have loved Tom Waits ever since.
Love this man's voice the pain of the world in its rawest state even Rod Stewart's gravely voice can't compete
If you appreciate Tom Waits and you’re looking for similar music, then Sayed Sabrina is your girl! Beautiful sound and wonderful music. Check it out for yourself! th-cam.com/video/m4qD8-0OKWk/w-d-xo.html
I disagree I think rod stewarts version is better and his voice is better as well. Not too discredit tom waits
I listen to Tom since I was 20, now 64 and I still love his music.❤️
I match your numbers... Rgr
Jesus what a great song! Just discovered Tom and im not looking back
there are not enough words to describe such an artist!!
I can't stop listening. It's like a magnet. Thanks for making me feel.
I don't know how to get away from the numbness
Thank you.

Tom will never die, never ever 😂😂🎶🎉🇩🇪
I like how both Rod Stewart and Bob Seger, who covered this tune, got into a heated fued over it.
Whoever did this video created a masterpiece of art. Along with Toms voice and the sound of this song its an iconic memory for me of a place I have never been to. I feel like I lived there.
this music is on lyricstraining
He also directed the David Bowie music video for Never Let Me Down - it has a similar cinematography style - th-cam.com/video/pCjeX08WdYQ/w-d-xo.html
Video director is Jean-Baptiste Maunier
@@ScottishB0b Thank you. Interesting.
@@ScottishB0b Jean Baptiste Maunier??? Not at all ...The director Is Jean Baptiste Mondino
Tom's my hero forever. Damn, i've been into this guy since small change came out. it's all been great. hope he keeps puttin out music forever.
Thnks my brother. you're the best.
i'm a little effed up
Happy birthday Tom and thank you for keeping me alive for the last 25+ years man I love y’all
The redemptive power of art is for everyone, even those dont know that for a moment they belong to the masterpiece vignette of another.
This is very beautiful song...

Great guitar work by the late Robert Quine..... G.E. Smith is also on guitar but I'm sure that great guitar work is by Robert Quine... R.I.P.
I love this man and his music!
Magic!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Pure Genius!
One of my favourite songs done by one of my favourite artist(singer, writer, musician,performer, etc.), Tom Waits. This is original and classic
Awesome truly awesome
The epitome of greatness!
A GREAT, GREAT songwriter as well as engagingly creative performances.
What a wonderfully strange and talented man. I'm glad.
La commozione ti pervade e hai solo orecchie per questa voce e per la chitarra elettrica
