    This house is
    utterly empty.
    It is thronging
    with presences.
    weeping,
    I cannot find
    my voice
    which is everywhere.
    These are but
    dream-crossed twilights
    between
    birth
    and dying.

    Tom Waits - "Dirt in the Ground"
    What does it matter
    A dream of love, or a dream of lies?
    We're all gonna be in the same place when we die
    Your spirit don't leave knowing
    Your face or your name
    The wind through your bones as all that remains
    And we're all gonna be, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    The quill from a buzzard
    The blood writes the word
    I want to know am I the sky or a bird?
    'Cause hell is boiling over
    And heaven is full
    We're chained to the world
    And we all gotta pull
    And we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    Now the killer was smiling
    With nerves made of stone
    He climbed the stairs
    And the gallows groaned
    And the people's hearts were pounding
    They were throbbing, they were red
    He swung out over the crowd, I heard the hangman said
    We're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    Now, Cain slew Abel
    He killed him with a stone
    The sky cracked open
    And the thunder groaned
    Along a river of flesh
    Can these dry bones live?
    Take a king or a beggar
    And the answer they'll give
    Is we're all gonna be yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all gonna be, yeah, yeah
    I said we're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    We're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    We're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    I said we're all going to be just dirt in the ground
    Yeah, we're all going to be just dirt in the ground

    I'm 50. I've never listened to this guy until now. There was an old picture of him on Reddit, so here I am. I have to say that I'm certsinly intrigued enough two songs in to want to listen to more. Strange voice, soulful but like he's singing from a previous life or an old world if that makes sense.

      Slow and langourous. What was that chinese philosopher, asked by the emperor to join him in the royal court, that asked him to join the court. Said the emperor, "i give u a choice to join me, you will have the best food, women, comfort, luxury servants... in return for your wisdom/mind. Or... You wanna just keep draggin your tail thru the mud?"
      "Yep" screw your court. "I'd rather be a turtle, free, draggin my tail thru the mud, than a lackey, coddled in your prison."

      Haha, i'm also listening cause of what Vai said, i don't know yet...Can't say i'm lovin' it. But it is what it is. Sometimes music grows on you. Remember the first time i heard Meshuggah, i thought it was cool, but i had to listen a couple of times to really get it. You can check out my featured video "You're The One" Tho. It's a bit more fire then this track, i promise you (Rock'n roll Shuffle in memory of EVH).

      This is not a good song/album to start listening through Tom Waits catalogue. Start on Blue Valentine or Heartattack and Vine. Then follow with Rain Dogs or Mule Variations. If you get there and you like what you hear, then it's your call to go either way with Real Gone or Orphans or whatever

      @@MaxFury_Official I think Tom Waits is like many unique genius artists in various fields. It takes exposure and time to truly appreciate what its genius and what it has to offer us. Like Jackson Pollock’s art or John Coltrane’s music, or Pynchon’s book Gravity’s Rainbow.
