Same, this song is incredible. Definitely my favourite, contested only by his live performance of Invitation to the Blues/Eggs and Sausage at the Montreal Jazz Festival
Magnífica, como casi todas, Al nivel de "hold on" o tantas otras. Y como todas, por debajo de "Kentucky avenue", la canción que más me impresiona de todas las que he escuchado.
The man is an infinite thread woven into the tapestry of humanity. Small and insignificant by itself except for the influence he projects to a generation of songwriters and poets. Most of us are just lint on the floor. In this world, Tom gives us all a voice.
This song, this live version, has so much tension you can tell it just wants to bust luce, but it stays together . Tom you've saved me more times than I care to admit, I owe ya
That last cold cold GROUND before the accordion solo gives me chills every time. It's just so raw, real, and timeless. It's like a painting in one word. I think the thing that elevates Tom Waits above the rest is his inflection. 2:30
This is true. On "Downtown Train", the way he sings "oh baby" just wrecks me. Man has all the lyrical talent in the world, but says the most common 2 word phrase in all of music and my ass is over here crying at how profound it is - because of how he says it. Pretty incredible.
Frank's Wild Years made me fall in love with the music of Tom Waits. Also made me go out and buy an accordion, I almost got scoliosis trying to play that damn thing.
I saw him do this at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. The whole show was exquisite, but this one touched me deeply. He makes me laugh and cry at once.
First heard this song while at a restaurant in Percé on the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec with the most wonderful panoramic view of the rocky coast of the Atlantic Ocean. One of those timeless and beautiful moments that just fills your senses to overflowing. For some reason, I thought it was Muddy Waters singing, even though I had heard Tom Waits before.
I got hooked to this song 30 years ago when i found a BigTime LP on sale at the local discount store. Though Time was my favorite song initially, but soon after CCG got me hooked. Can‘t live without since then, and this song showed me what a most beautiful instrument the accordion is.
Hung out with him in 1997, off and on, for a year, my first home in Sonoma had been his first home...we had a mutual friend, met for coffee, a few times, coffee thatnever ended...
Don’t start your day with Waits. Don’t even end your day with him. Just go to a place in your head where his words and music enter you. It’s life changing like Cohen changed our lives but you have got to be a child of the 60s to fully understand that. That great decade that was lived in a brief moment of time.
How does he do it? In just a few minutes he paints the entire picture of this little guy who lives in a little house, his life, his dreams. Such a genius. Let’s all get together and make a pile of truck tires and burn them to the ground. And blow the roof off the goat barn and watch it roll down the hill. Oh and don’t forget to pass the bottle around. Who needs to go to town when you have Tom Waits?
I come up from the cold dead garden like Lazarus on the fire and fuss, I look around and I see through blindness, eyes deceive, so visions mind us. I go to town for my thirst, 3 rounds, was a man over there, want to put me, down, and I look with nothing save shadow and sun, I squeeze a trigger and another soul gone... gone to the dead garden. Uh-just messin' round.
the jagged beauty, from the loosely tuned strings of the guitar, to the melancholy accordian, to waits' jangled desperate vocals, strikes an indescribable chord that surely must be universal
I swear sometimes I feel like Tom Waits' music was specifically crafted for an oddball like me. He's an eccentric genius and I'm forever grateful for his what he's given us.
Ya theres something right about old tom and I hope they never find a word that's institutional or sweet like that I saw him too any times twisted and shouting he had something looking yauhu yeshua ya had new baby that was called rnrool hada new that had a new soul aha yaya huh a new car a car it was bad rusty film was a classic that had never been fkd. With no no not at all it was alive had 59 rear lights n wheels had jailhouse writing on the steering wheel Haha uhhhuh yaa give it to me before the phone isn't going 3cc home ya mmhmmn ya I'm not trying to voice it nice it was a 59 caddy had the smell of rust n out but it was the old one they talked about yaauhu munna in a world where you live and cry your old continental is a real prize dealer has name all ready to be relaxed in brand old caddy like paul mitchel and his 9 o'clock dģğstomp it down damn stomp it on a piece of the old play ground and realize heres nothing to ever be found look around the old play ground got no life got a soul wrapped around a telephone pole yaa oh yaa mmhuh.
@bosszeroboss Not that this is relevant but Osteoporosis is a disease that causes porosity in bones. It doesn't cause lateral curvature of the spine (scoliosis).
Waits is not for everyone, but, for those like me who love him, his music is always a nice way to start a day.
That's like starting the day with a shot of bourbon.
That was 9 months ago
The only lone star I love
Genious. Tears me up, makes me laugh, takes me away.
The song that got me hooked on Tom 20 years ago .Now , I believe I have every CD he;s produced .
Аналогично.
Sweet🍒
@@seriogamasson Sweet🍒
Crazy. Me too. This was on Much Music in Canada. I went from Duran Duran and Kaja Goo Goo to Tom Waits on this song. Never looked back.
That's a start.

Life fades away lads

It's hard to even put this into words, about how perfect this song-performance touches the heart and soul.
Thank you, Jameson
Thank you, Jameson
The accordion solo is so soulful, it always brings up tears.
The accordion makes the song, for me.
This simultaneously hurts and heals my heart

Why didn't I know how good music could be back in the 80's. We pretty much followed what was popular on FM radio. Tom Waits is pure brilliance!
Absolutely wonderful! Thanks to Tom Waits' wife for keeping him up and running. From Denmark
Tom at his best, my family were raised in a peat house in a village just outside Limerick, he reminds me of caeighli nights with family such fun
Frank's Wild Years made me fall in love with the music of Tom Waits.
Also made me go out and buy an accordion, I almost got scoliosis trying to play that damn thing.
Just a little patience and a lot of heart take old sqeaker and tear it apart oh no on yeah oh no!
Knock it around tap it on kick round and play a simple sad old song think hard from your heart I've never been so torn apart oh ya nooh oh ya.
Haha!! That’s the funniest damn thing. Hell Tom’s great music makes happy fools of us all.
Me too. The first record from him that I bought.
Just discovered Tom, hes great!
I saw him do this at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. The whole show was exquisite, but this one touched me deeply. He makes me laugh and cry at once.
my hero. saw him on his last tour. no one like him. love and respect to Tom.
This is the best comment ive ever read from any Type of music, Kompliment believer , die it just Pop from your head ??

Perce is such a beautiful place...

Never gets old ❤❤❤

Thanks Paul for pointing me in Tom Waits direction. Indianapolis Post Office
I straight up, love this man, and this song!
Great great artist. He can do no wrong.
Excellent song
Discovered tw via this song on homicide life on street one of the greatest tv shows ever

Genius. One of the true few, Waits is the musician's Joyce, a rare brilliance unrestrained.
I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite Tom Waits song in the 25+ years I've been listening, but Cold Cold Ground might be it.
Probably my favorite tom waits song and the first tom waits song I ever heard In the soundtrack for movie Leola
One of my all time favorites.
Oh my favorite version! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you.
I was about to say I love this live version
The jury has spoken - Fucking terrific
My Dad loved birds of all kinds. snow geese. honkers.
Rarely a day goes by that I don't listen to Tom Waits. I've lived so many of his songs it's kind of like listening to your own memoir.
How does he do it? In just a few minutes he paints the entire picture of this little guy who lives in a little house, his life, his dreams. Such a genius.
Let’s all get together and make a pile of truck tires and burn them to the ground. And blow the roof off the goat barn and watch it roll down the hill. Oh and don’t forget to pass the bottle around.
Who needs to go to town when you have Tom Waits?
This song is so beautiful,I love it and Tom is such a poet,his songs love him
I come up from the cold dead garden like Lazarus on the fire and fuss, I look around and I see through blindness, eyes deceive, so visions mind us. I go to town for my thirst, 3 rounds, was a man over there, want to put me, down, and I look with nothing save shadow and sun, I squeeze a trigger and another soul gone... gone to the dead garden. Uh-just messin' round.

Jesus Christ this song is so fucking beautiful.
lyrics, voice ,music, all converge to transcend, excellent!
sublime!!
Обожаю эту песню!!!
An American treasure. Warped and deeply disturbing, but a treasure.
Amazing ! ! ! Marie
the poet we deserve
+David McGee Not one human is deserving. We are in need.
His wife, Kathleen Brennan, writes most of his lyrics. Not to take away from his talent. They complement each other!
I'm choking mine. Learning little by little.
This version is on Spotify for anyone who wants it in their playlist!
Amazing lyricist
Genius!!!
Tom Waits makes Bob Dylan look like Neil Sedaka.
bobbdylan is awful, fake folk fake country fake poetry
I'll listen to Tom Waits any day.
Once I started to listen the lyrics, and not just the melody,
I didn't like Dylan as much.
Dylan wishes he could sing like smooth daddy fly Neil Sedaka
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Neil Sadaka!
Now I have to look up Neil! Thanks guys…
Poet Extraordinaire!
It's so good. He sounds like family.
FUCKIN beautiful. holy shit
"Wrong way down a one way streeeeet"
Limmy.
Imagine a tom waits these days ,he would be cancelled,glad I grew up listening to my dads fav artist
Ох, Том,Том. До чего же хорошо!

If Whiskey had a voice, this would be it.

I like it better than original, wonderful..
december125690 this is the original.
There is something not quite right with Tom Waits. I just hope he never figures out what it is.
Ya theres something right about old tom and I hope they never find a word that's institutional or sweet like that I saw him too any times twisted and shouting he had something looking yauhu yeshua ya had new baby that was called rnrool hada new that had a new soul aha yaya huh a new car a car it was bad rusty film was a classic that had never been fkd.

A national treasure apple pie coca cola and Tom

Porquê as concertinas Portuguesas nunca têm este som !!!!!? Ffffffodasssse
