Music like this is why I love obscure indie radio stations. I've loved the Tom Waits since I was 5, and my heart stopped when I heard Courtney sing. Truly beautiful!!

I've always loved this song. This rendition is just - wow - beautiful and perfect.

Sorry for my italian words. Questa meravigliosa cover non è assolutamente seconda alla immensa voce di Waits. Le amo entrambe. Grazie

[@gasevski]

Lovely lovely cover. So happy Waits ‘loans’ his work to select artists and production houses; in a way to not necessarily control those covering, but to spread the essence, the spirit of the piece. Love it; can’t wait to experience the whole album _“Come On Up to the House: Women Sing Waits”_, coming out this fall, more precisely as I hear Nov.22!

Lyrics: Outside another yellow moon has punched a hole in the night time mist I climb through the window and down to the street I'm shining like a new dime The downtown trains are full full of all them Brooklyn girls They try so hard to break out of their little worlds You wave your hand and they scatter like crows They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart They're just thorns without the rose Be careful of them in the dark Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same On a downtown train I know your window and I know its late I know your stairs and your doorway I walk down your street and past your gate I stand by the light of the four way and watch them as they fall, oh baby They all having their heart attacks They stay at the carnival But they'll never win you back Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same You leave me lonely Will I see you tonight on a downtown train All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same Will I see you tonight on a downtown train All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train On a downtown train All my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train

To Dualtone: What a fantastic interpretation of this amazing Tom Waits song, Courtney.....fantastic work indeed, you're very talented. Can I ask where I might get a hold of this excellent backing track please? I've covered this song also in the "Tom Waits" style, but I'd love to do another version with this BT. Again, BRILLIANT, Courtney! Have a relaxing weekend - Leo

Apart from from Screaming Jay Hawkins "Heartattack and Vine" I personally don't think a single artist has come close to equaling a Tom Waits original. But I still like hearing them. And I admit it can help hook people who initially can't handle his voice

This is no Waits but it’s still great

[@LeoVocalMusicCovers]

Absolutely, Duncan, what an "original cover indeed" An amazing interpretation. I've also covered several of Tom Waits songs. Here is my latest one if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jImtc2CFZb6oZpY I'd say Waits and Dylan are the greatest living poets! Have a relaxing weekend - Leo

It has a Linda Ronstadt does Tom Waits vibe to it. Linda Ronstadt doing Tom Waits may actually exist but this is good.
