He is the TRUE American music, not the autotuned garbage that the record labels promote to you all in other countries. I could not be more proud for you from Istanbul to discover Tom Waits. Please enjoy his music and remember there is real talent and heart here ❤❤
This isn't music, it's a soul experience! A shock to the system! I tried to read the lyrics, but they read almost uncomprehensive, until this sawbrushed drunken voice spitting them out like broken glass, and turn them into a meaning which words can't express. There's a beauty beyond, which only parts inside of you can decode. Then I realize...he's a genius, making even the best artists deaf and dumb in comparison. There'll be plenty of music and artists, but only one Tom Waits.
Спасибо за понимание. Как американец, я годами слушал вашу народную музыку, а недавно услышал Владимира Высоцкого, и я чувствую сходство, и не только в голосе.
Not too long ago, I met a young man who only knew Tom Waits from his role in "Book of Eli". I pulled out the playlist on my phone faster than Eastwood drew pistols.
I really like and admire Tom. He has this look of...I don't like anybody. He speaks of loneliness from a perspective of "I prefer it this way. I understand this." He's great.
Being surrounded by people who make you want to be alone is way worse than being actually alone. There will be plenty of opportunity to interact with others but hot damn it's nice to have space.
I had the total honour of an aquaintance friend of his for maybe a year. ! He was quite possibly the humblest coolest soul ive ever met !!! I never even asked him about 1 song. We just talked life as it was... ! 👋😉😎🙃🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
This song sounds like being a drunken teenager in the late 50s and wandering into a dark, sullen tiki bar that's been there since the 30s. It's the band that's playing on a very dangerous episode of Happy Days.
Listening to Tom Waits is like watching a train wreck. Ya can't stop watching! Amazing talent, from this tune, to "Hold On"....how the hell can he live in such different worlds?!
Ima think he lives in all of them at the same Time. Or rather they live in him. Don’t need to have your brain on to understand- he sings straight from spirit of humans
@@ЧитательЛитература-ю9н ,я Тома слушал когда ты ещё не родился,в начале 80-х прошлого века.Меня из школы выгоняли за подобные записи,а чем вы умники рискуете сейчас?
Оригинал прекрасен, но вот хриплые нотки доводят до совершенства. Мне кажется лучше перепеть уже не получится. Ребятам вот эту песню надо перепеть Tom Waits - Telephone Call From Istambul
Really ? For me there would be many other songs which would make me think of driving through the Nevada desert.. Yesterday Is Here, Goin' Out West (and most songs from Bone Machine and Mule Varitions). Long live Tom Waits indeed!
When i think something about Istanbul, a word of mediteromanian comes to my brain which invented by Mr. Tom Waits. And I feel like it's an immaculate confection in english.
@@biteviye Tom Wait bence bir ozandır. Türkiye'deki halk ozanları da türkülerde "bebeğim" yerine "yârim"i kullandığı için çeviriyi bu şekilde yapmıştım. :)
В первую очередь тех -кто «шарит» его текст или слова на английском ,ну и конечно музыкальную тему и исполнение ....Только один «Шоколадный Иисус « чего стоит !
"The other day, I overheard my older kids talking to my younger boy and they were saying ‘don’t ever, don’t EVER ask Dad to help you with your homework.’ They said I made up a war once." :D
That's fucking great lmao, my dad once did the same thing when I asked him for help with a history essay only for him to give me this full in-depth description of "The Greenland-Canadian War"
Love the Big Time DVD (VHS before that) and copied it to CD because the CD release of that only had some of those versions and I wanted all that show including the banter between the songs. I love his live band too.
This is one of those "great on the album, PHENOMENAL live" songs. A little fireball made me think he wrote the song just to perform it live, eeeeyraght.
Hahahaha the last minute of this one has this real sock hop quality to it, it's just amazing. Dude was such an artists artist, as hipster as it fucking is. It includes so much stuff.
Olli Olivine that double bass. Every decision he makes about each of his songs is inspired. Arrangements, musicians, choice of instruments, score, lyrics. They broke the mold when they made Waits.
If you like this, do whatever you can to secure a copy of 'Big Time' his live concert film. Absolutely amazing, one of my most valued pieces in my music collection. Great songs, great performance, weirdness galore and spectacular arrangements. Cannot recommend it enough.

God, we're lucky to live on a planet with Tom Waits on it...
28653 other species cry about this
You can never stop discovering him, be it through his many movie appearances or highly contrasted tunes.
That may well be one of my very favorite comments about Tom Waits of all time.
The messenger of god should be indecipherable
My thoughts exactly, my friend
"Never drive a car when you're dead." You can't argue with advice like that!
😅😅
👌🏻😁
😂😂😂
I can't dissagree.
And you simply have to obey the order: “Dye your hair yellow!”
Played this for a friend who described it lovingly as “a song that you dance to when you have a rock in your shoe.”
So cute miss Asian friends byyye
That is a fantastic description.
Fucking hell, this is straight literature there brother. Live long.
Very cool!
"Music go dance to when you're mad as a hatter"
Tom took a massive bowl of America, chewed it up. Swallowed and pucked it back in our face.
Respect.
Just to mention, there’s a huge difference between pucked (hockey) and puked. Anyway, good comment
The world is absolute shit. But the fact that this dude was allowed to exist within said world, I gotta say, really softens the blow.
I'm from İstanbul. I have been living in Istanbul for 30 years.
I listening for the first time and amazing song melody is very nice
I’m enjoying your city for the first time. Walking the streets listening to this song. It’s the best. I love it.

Welcome to the experience
Спасибо вам ,Том, за настроения простых американцев, за то, что мне нечего с ними делить, за солнце и блюз.
Спасибо за понимание. Как американец, я годами слушал вашу народную музыку, а недавно услышал Владимира Высоцкого, и я чувствую сходство, и не только в голосе.
(И, пожалуйста, простите за ужасный автоматический перевод. Я уже пытался выучить язык в прошлом и сделаю это снова...)
I’m in Istanbul right now jamming to this. Hell yeah! Rock on Mr Waites. You are now the soundtrack to my trip.
Ah, Tom - you either love him or your heart is a shriveled up old prune.
Both.

Yeah, same thing with Louie Armstrong.
I really like and admire Tom. He has this look of...I don't like anybody. He speaks of loneliness from a perspective of "I prefer it this way. I understand this." He's great.
I don't think he likes it that way but at least he accepts it for what it really is and has adapted to it better than most.
@@AnnaLVajda I find that relatable as do others.
He’s the Bukowski of music.
@@ThomasVanHoesenDeadpooliscool What a perfect description. 👌
Being surrounded by people who make you want to be alone is way worse than being actually alone.
There will be plenty of opportunity to interact with others but hot damn it's nice to have space.
he is the greatest of all time.
yes, he resume the western music of the last 100 years !
Yes Yes he is
he is defo up there
Nailed it
That's jazz.
Blues, jass, vocal, so perfect and so good for the lonely. "SHAVE MY HEAD "
9 лет... я думала, что больше.. Настолько всегда в памяти живет) как вот память про друга или про хорошую книгу..
Tom is in a class of his own.
Tom is in a World of his own.
He is the shaman of soul and trumpet lucid dreams in a jazz heaven

This is still brilliant, I love the studio but the rush of this is brilliant. Everything this man touches is genius.
Fuckin a right!
Trop bon ! Pas de fioritures ni arrangements, du naturel et roule bolide...Et quelle voix ! Des tripes pour dire la Vie ! Thanks Tom !😘💫
Получила большое эстетическое удовольствие .Спасибо❤
Greetings from istanbul ! I'm in love with this song.
Великолепный, неподражаемый, нестареющий Том.

Some say that Tom travelled back to Constantinople to write this and by the time the phone rang, Istanbul was on the other end of the line.
This song hit me home after visiting Istanbul on several occasions. For love, of course. It's over now. Istanbul
hahha just found the card with the number of my Instanbul past in the garage the other day.. 25 years later was tempted to call but reality
I hear you there. :)
*"never trust a man in a blue trench coat* /
*never drive a car when your dead"* . . . sage advice - love Waits : )`
to Leonard Cohen?
That was what I was thinking as well.
So you can’t trust Sherlock?
Sarisa Techasukij You most certainly cannot
Jo Thomas I guess he was an addict and sociopath anyway.
This beat could make the dead dance.
The beat is irresistible
That man changed my life in 1993! Won't tell the details:) Greetings from Istanbul!
Hope it ended well :}

WTF did I just listen to? No music can surprise me any more, but this is some other thing. Genius!
You just gotta listen to Hielung. Prepare to be surprised!
!
I have very fond memories of at Beulahs and Dry Creek Road.
Awww. Adorable...and look, a kitty 🐱
What a cool tune! It's got my foot tapping right now. I love the arrangement.
Genius, nothing else will do when we talk about Tom
Best version. Thanks.
THX 4 SHARING....
Great live performance of this awesome song ..Luv Tom
Let's all shrug off our skin and rattle around in our bones with Tom. What better way to get through these times.
I am from Bulgaria.So ,I am near by...Perfect sound for ilustraited the Carigrad ! I like it !
Tom Waits is great,stay high my friends.
When i think something about Istanbul, a word of mediteromanian comes to my brain which invented by Mr. Tom Waits. And I feel like it's an immaculate confection in english.
Omg how have I not heard this before? I heard his stuff before but now I'm hooked
2:02 That Marc Ribot solo, though
He's a genius
I love Marc Ribot! Nobody else plays like him.

No words, loving it all.
One of top 5 Waits songs for me. I like this Big Time live version better than one from Franks Wild Years

Tom! One of a kind.

not only is a great actor but he's a great f****** songwriter

will you sell me one of those if I shave my head
get me out of town is what fireball said
never trust a man in a blue trench coat
never drive a car when you're dead
Saturday's a festival
Friday's a gem
dye your hair yellow
and raise your hem
follow me to beulah's on

got to cut a hole in the day

The only "problem" with the studio version is that the song fades out when the organ really starts rockin.
