talk about mood music! tom sounds like a smoky new york jazz club to me. He has created more of what new york's aura is than the city has done by action. He is a genius.
The footage used here is excerpts from 'Le Ballet Mécanique', an Austrian experimental short film from 1924, directed by Fernand Léger. The woman most often seen is Alice Prin (or "Kiki of Montparnasse"), a well-known French artist's model, nightclub singer, actress, painter, and general muse for many famous artists and writers. She was born in Côte d'Or in 1901 and died in Montparnasse in 1953 at the age of 51. According to Wikipedia, her tomb identifies her as "Kiki, 1901-1953, singer, actress, painter, Queen of Montparnasse."

Waits has the depth of the oceans and the vastness of the universe at his disposal and he has a way of putting that all into his words and music; in this case with the help of his lovely wife. Great video to mate with this moody and thoughtful music.
+John Lennon I was familiar with the song before reading Sandman Slim, so I was really happy that this was the song that came up at The Bamboo House of Dolls.
I was wondering if I would see any others here. Read the book when I was 19, read it again today when I’m a year older than Stark. I had to find the song this time, and I’m glad I did.
Alice in the foggy ice land. What ever happened to Wonderland? Never mind, skate on. Those eyes and smiles are haunting, as if coming from within. From...?
You would take an otherwise sad event such as your own death and then subject your family and friends to listen to such a depressing song as they lower you into the ground? I never understood why people think that...

Lewis Carrol wrote Alice in wonderland, The story was based on a real life girl called Alice, Carrol was obsessed with Alice who was only 7 years old, Carrol was 27 at the time so had dubious intentions, though no untoward acts were ever proved or disclosed, It's been said that Tom wrote this song based on the obsession Carrol had with Alice.
'' It's dreamy weather we're on You waved your crooked wand Along an icy pond with a frozen moon A murder of silhouette crows I saw And the tears on my face And the skates on the pond They spell Alice I disappear in your name But you must wait for me Somewhere across the sea There's a wreck of a ship Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide And the raindrops on my window And the ice in my drink Baby all I can think of is Alice Arithmetic, arithmetock Turn the hands back on the clock How does the ocean rock the boat? How did the razor find my throat? The only strings that hold me here Are tangled up around the pier And so a secret kiss Brings madness with the bliss And I will think of this When I'm dead in my grave Set me adrift and I'm lost over there And I must be insane To go skating on your name And by tracing it twice I fell through the ice Of Alice And so a secret kiss Brings madness with the bliss And I will think of this When I'm dead in my grave Set me adrift and I'm lost over there And I must be insane To go skating on your name And by tracing it twice I fell through the ice Of Alice There's only Alice ''
I want to know the actress who plays Alice in this video. Is this video directed for this song, or was it borrowed for it like "Sea of Love" This woman haunts me like the woman I knew who still has hold of my heart as none other. Waits works with F.F. Coppola often. Was this directed by him? Is this actress alive, and if so does anyone know who she is?

Many thanks sir
A gorgeous song for a wonderful voice

masterpiece...great,great,great....
absolutely gorgeous.
Perfect Combination ---J'adore Tom
Thanks for putting this together. It's definitely a favorite.
such a great lyrics......
How does this have only 150K views? It had me by the throat from the opening bars.
Beautiful and touching like the song, I cant think about another way to "illustrate" this song. Parabéns!
I love this song..
This song seems to express the deepest woes that universally encompass the human condition...
Perfectly expresses my sentiments exactly...
Transition Point k
It pleases me to no end to see other Sandman Slim fans found this. Who else here found this song just trying to see if actually existed?
Sir Hawk Yeah, this was the first Google link when I looked it up
It took me way too many years to actually look this up.
still love it!!
James Stark, the song that wouldn't get out of the Jukebox in Carlo's bar.
+John Lennon I was familiar with the song before reading Sandman Slim, so I was really happy that this was the song that came up at The Bamboo House of Dolls.
The book is decent almost done with it had to look up the song as it sounded vaguely familiar... it is haunting to listen to in context with the book
I was wondering if I would see any others here. Read the book when I was 19, read it again today when I’m a year older than Stark. I had to find the song this time, and I’m glad I did.
Inoubliable Alice.
nicely done! (y) !
Kiki's smile could melt an iceberg in Antarctica.
Sweet AS a SeCReT kiss!!!!! .... Tom don'T Waits.... émotionne nous with a chatouallanTe mélancolic !!!!....
Fucking Beautiful................

Great song. Is the footage by Man Ray?
Drinkik (1/2) when listen this song. I'm from Russia
Alice in the foggy ice land. What ever happened to Wonderland? Never mind, skate on.
Those eyes and smiles are haunting, as if coming from within. From...?
Any Richard kadrey fans here?
You would take an otherwise sad event such as your own death and then subject your family and friends to listen to such a depressing song as they lower you into the ground? I never understood why people think that...
Smooth tenor! Almost sounds like Ben Webster.
Such beauty. Makes me cry and smile, both at the same time.
Does anybody know what beautiful film or films this is from?

REAL SONG
Sandman Slim movie needs to hurry and be made already. Allegedly it's going to be directed by the same director of John Wick.
who else is here because of the book "Sandman Slim"? I wonder if the film adaptation will use the song too
Really screwed with my boy James with this one.
The monster who kills monsters brought me here.

Καλησπέρα !! Καλό απόγευμα ! Φιλαράκι.
Πάλι με χαροποίησες με την επιλογή σου !!
'' It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic, arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice ''
ΜΑΤΙΝΑ ΑΡΤΕΜΑΚΗ καλησπερα **!!!!!!!!
Giannis manos Καλησπέρα !! Φιλαράκι
Φοβερό κομμάτι!!!!!!!!!!!!
