Tom Waits Cold Cold Ground 1987

[@thewrongaccount608]

Waits is not for everyone, but, for those like me who love him, his music is always a nice way to start a day.

[@playasadonejoe]

That's like starting the day with a shot of bourbon.

That was 9 months ago

[@kerry1390]

The only lone star I love

[@zoop2132]

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 .

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.

My favourite Tom Waits song of all time.

+Olen Zephier A fantastic song to listen to when drunk.

Tim Wright Im drunk right now. Second lisyen. 6 26 am. Hahaha cant make it up, cheerz. My fav by him too.

[@SAJohnnyUtah]

My favorite song of all time.

[@Linkinbird617]

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

[@jmsanze]

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.

[@pspillow]

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!

[@rubytuesday7653]

I'm in ❤️with the memory of him......Helping me great the end of my life.🌿💛🦬💛🌿

[@barbaricviking]

This simultaneously hurts and heals my heart

[@weissallessagtnix]

The accordion solo is so soulful, it always brings up tears.

[@KarlMaldensNose]

The accordion makes the song, for me.

[@alleyoop4465]

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.

[@letsif]

It's hard to even put this into words, about how perfect this song-performance touches the heart and soul.

Loose.

[@evaa6106]

Thank you Kathleen Brennan, for keeping this show moving.

[@rrtodd95]

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.

[@davidcervin3408]

Just a little patience and a lot of heart take old sqeaker and tear it apart oh no on yeah oh no!

[@davidcervin3408]

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.

[@michaelkenyon6173]

Haha!! That’s the funniest damn thing. Hell Tom’s great music makes happy fools of us all.

[@thelastraft7054]

Me too. The first record from him that I bought.

[@joannebrebes2962]

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.

[@annecusty3563]

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

[@dmlevitt]

my hero. saw him on his last tour. no one like him. love and respect to Tom.

[@coolaprilfool1335]

Tom Waits is great,was hooked from the first song. Love his stories and music and seeing him in movies!! Stay high my friends.

[@ernestodelaserna9494]

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.

[@bif3578]

Perce is such a beautiful place...

[@MovieMuscle]

A lovely place for such a song.

[@hermmeadows9162]

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

[@bradparker9080]

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.

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.

[@schnook11]

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.

[@cactine]

Probably my favorite tom waits song and the first tom waits song I ever heard In the soundtrack for movie Leola

[@Hank5861]

Thanks Paul for pointing me in Tom Waits direction. Indianapolis Post Office

[@ronaldonogueirarodrigues8296]

I love this music!

[@johnleonard7342]

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.

[@dlp2006]

Discovered tw via this song on homicide life on street one of the greatest tv shows ever

[@finnandcork]

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...

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.

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

[@Stein56Roise]

Excellent song

[@FunnyCowboyDance]

Jesus Christ this song is so fucking beautiful.

[@mariakime1943]

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?

[@RaVenDaWn999]

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.
