Cold Water - Tom Waits

[@MightyMoon1]

Any other Buckos here listening to this great music recommended by a great man?

[@bilikovael]

yes

[@musicarock7232]

Tom Waits is a genius! this song is nothing new nor original, but the way he makes FEEL AND LIVE things is unique !

[@reuireuiop0]

That filthy guitar just killed 40 years worth of million-notes heavy metal solo's

[@TheBeamOfPureEnergy]

Thank you for rekindling my faith in people. If only for a minute ....

Amen! Gotta love Marc Ribot

Tom official video has pic on rail tracks 😎🎸😎

[@TheCactusjack1]

you know, I discovered Tom years ago around '85 and I was in the middle of a very physically and emotionally painful upheaval. But I see no reason that he would not appeal to someone who has never been though any of that. We all come from somewhere and to be human is to suffer. So if you dig Tom, cheers, there is plenty of time in life to suffer. But it is not required to dig on Waits.

[@mzuriboy57]

My favorite Tom Waits song, beautiful & harsh, perfect, says everything so simply. The vid went with it well also.

[@danieljmoore]

That reminds me: time to clean my room.

[@RiceKiller191]

Finally being inducted into the Hall Of Fame I heard. One of the greatest artists to grace this earth!

[@snoopliest4547]

Every morning when hungover and I reach for that good shit. God bless you Tom.

[@1953SM]

Damn, what a great raspy voice! I love it ! I hope he makes a lot more songs before he leaves us because there has to be more of this. May be sing till he's 99.

[@Rascaduanok]

Tom Waits cultivated this incredible voice through years of following The Cigarettes & Bourbon Plan.

[@Collins1118]

My kind of man...

[@annaclement2825]

I'm obsessed with this song.

[@hogrotten6897]

He's the Man !

[@darling_danke_schoen]

this and "big Rock candy mountain" are the best bum songs ever written...

[@trooskens]

fantastic! I love the guitar solo and above all, I love to scream the lyrics when I'm on the high way. Another masterpiece.

[@psyjax2]

Ive had a great life. No real hardship.. Love Tom Waits with all my heart and soul :)

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Thanks Tom! 20 years of dis!

[@llazer]

Love this guy

[@bairofthenorthwoods]

I love this video and have come back many times over the years to enjoy it (and send it to friends as a refresher 🙂)

[@geffcassuto]

this is one of the songs he wrote during the making of the documentary "Long Gone" about train riding culture in the late 90's. He was asked to write the soundtrack and met a bunch of different infamous hobo's from the FTRA crew including Dogman Tony, Dante Fuqwa, Horizontal John, Joshua Long Gone, NY Slim and others. A bunch of those songs ended up on Mule Variations.

[@philokdodgon694]

His voice is pure Gravel Awesome.😎🎸😎

[@Thefrenchiie]

a goood friend of mine made me discover this song, she's cool, pretty, likes pastis and cigarettes and is a HuGE Fan of Tom Waits ! thx !!!

[@stevenshelton3723]

Possibly Waits' best song.

[@jackbatlin3426]

This song just does all the right things for me. :)

[@coquelicot1521]

Hey, Americans, do you feel the water has got a bit warmer (asking in 2022)? Btw.: The visuals in this video are really Tom-Waits-fantastic .

[@StLennyBruce]

Pure ecstasy. This is THE story of my life. It feels so good to hear it.

[@philokdodgon694]

I love Tom 😎🎸😎

Waits is a kindly soul

[@bobbadoc1]

Beautiful video. Thanks. Saved me the major trouble of formulating this message. Now I can do something else with my life.

[@oscarandizzy]

I see what you mean but the way he describes it it's so real that he could sing about space and I would still be able to connect with it.

[@nathankeesler428]

I'm glad that Dionysus walks among us.

Let us laugh while we can. There will be pleeeeenty of time to cry later.

2:17 - 2:26 (paks at 2:22) i love the changing of intonation in his voice. something only waits can do

[@v.mvarga4979]

So sad and so raw

[@LoletteBelette]

Awsome video!

[@bergger15]

Fantastic!

[@TheCactusjack1]

I used to sing this to my daughter as a lullaby. I know I'm a weird dad but it worked and it was the only song I could remember the words to. Sung in a low gentle voice it has a nice tune and is calming. Very nice video! Is it a Tom official or did you make it?

[@patrickkeefe4179]

Down in the willow garden another great lullaby but is a super gruesome murder ballad

[@TheCactusjack1]

@@patrickkeefe4179 , I don't know that one, will check it out. Most all of them are actually creepy. Ring around the Rosies is about the plague possibly. So, I guess this tom waits song is perfect for a lullaby.

[@michaellenehan1369]

Did you sing woke up this morning with a koala with a cold

[@Ceirthe]

@mysteria31 Bollox! I haven't experienced significant pain in my life and I absolutly love all albums from this great man. The strength behind Waits is that he can get that such emotion into his songs that the listener is roped into that emotion whatever it happens to be.

[@jellyfishinthebath]

Fantastic song and fantastic video!!!! Love it. Good job! x

[@daviswall3319]

Dang that’s good

[@studioramzy]

best one !!!

[@JoeSmithAu]

handymandan100 - You should hear John Prine's "The Hobo Song"( if you haven't already ). This my first time to hear Tom Waits' Cold Water. I love it. Prine's Hobo is certainly up there with the best. The best version of The Big Rock Candy Mountain is from the Oh Brother soundtrack.

Hey Mark, that was a good evening!

[@SterlingSilversmith]

@mysteria31 ... Oh, yes...It is true...Tom sings of where we all are that Groc his material...Tom is the slickest slang slasher in the industry, surpassing Dylan and all for content...thinking of his ensemble of hip street slang, strung together like "Our Gang"...Tom punches holes in our facades..leveling us to our common denominator...the experience of the street...now...I that is the main call...he nails the scene so perfectly...examples a plenty..."Don't by roses on the streets" Know this???

[@MrDougpro]

I agree...Tom is a legend...But Dylan is a GODDAM PHONY!!

@mysteria31 Bullshit. I haven't been through squat. Not only does he 'appeal' to me, I'm actually a bit obsessed by his abilities. He's amazing. One doesn't need to have been 'troubled' in some way to appreciate talent & artistry. Quit projecting.

Also appeals to hipsters and a lot of pretentious people who feel like justifying their musical taste by way of prejudice.
