Tom Waits - You Can Never Hold Back Spring

A good song.

[@estrozamochos]

How can any human being create a thing like this? It sounds like it has been there forever, as if it was a present from Earth itself. Too beautiful to put into words. Tom Waits: thank you, sincerely.

[@belligerentmovement8]

Well said my friend

[@TheMao21]

[@dannymcconnell9009]

this is such a beautiful thing to say. i feel you my friend

[@bobmagee2879]

His voice is powerful, passionate and filled with humanity. Thank you Tom Waits

[@jamesmatlock3847]

"You can never hold back spring" (Lyrics) you can never hold back spring you can be sure I will never stop believing the blushing rose that will climb spring ahead or fall behind winter dreams the same dream every time baby you can never hold back spring even though you've lost your way the world is dreaming dreaming of spring so close your eyes open your heart to the one who's dreaming of you you can never hold back spring remember everything that spring can bring baby you can never hold back spring.

My wife walked down the aisle to this song (she chose the song). Our wedding was in our backyard and we were our own DJ, so there were many Tom Waits tunes on our playlists. Truly a timeless artist with so much heart!

[@Mark8395217]

My Daughter has done many wonderful things, among the most wonderful was allowing me to have this song played for our first dance at her wedding. Yup, stole the scene straight out of the movie. No one had heard the song, and most didn't know who Tom Waits was... and I didn't care one bit. Truly an unforgettable time, one of the top moments of my life.

[@a.burgess8241]

I love this.... My father died in June of 2010 (coming up on 4 years) and one of the things I wish I had done with him before his passing was dance at my wedding (even though, my marriage didn't withstand the years). What a beautiful memory you have with your daughter, and to such a beautiful, precious and wise song. You are a lucky man.

[@ThePerfectDuck]

as a soon (????) to be father of the bride, I completely understand you! you are a lucky man, indeed!

[@thesuperiorshave]

1st time I heard it I knew that's the only song I'd ever want to dance to on that day, glad someone else thought so and I'm jealous you've had that moment!

[@Mark8395217]

Thomas Headley Thank you Music Director indeed! Cool, very cool...

[@simonb4689]

my 1st song at my wedding, for the first dance with my wife that is, was Shiny Things. this one was in the mix too and it was a special night of course ;)

[@NikolaiWessel]

This is the song I want to be played at my funeral .. I'm only 17 but I'm sure, sure that Tom Waits already has added so much to my life, I couldn't imagine a life without his music. Thank you Tom!

[@cynthiamadrid1430]

Did you see the movie Tiger in the Snow?

[@michelleclaypool4339]

He is my favorite poet, singer, musician and I wish he would tour again

[@Tommyfazz]

Keep watching Michelle... ;~)

[@TrueBlueEG8]

Tom Waits, puts a movie in my head every time he sings, one of the most descriptive and thought provoking of all song writers, I love him dearly.

[@fatimarafael4736]

"...close your eyes Open you heart To one who's dreaming of you..." (Tom Waits)

[@jmedia1102]

Few artists could touch my soul like Tom did.

[@MedusaMVA]

+jmedia1 _ Agree totally

[@bradscook]

You say that as if he’s dead.

[@tracystafford7227]

Tom Auton brought me here.. if you see this. I love the rain dogs album. My ears have heard it since I was a child. So much so that my heart can sing it to me without the music. This one is beautiful. Thank you 😊 peace.

[@miguelmartins9706]

Fuckin'commies

[@mrsbookthief]

I was standing in the room with a broken heart, looking out the window at the sunshine breaking through the branches od trees, and my brother suddenly put on this song...and for no reason at all, tears started falling like 10 seconds into the song. Will never forget that. Too much beauty, Mr. Waits...

[@sim97br]

the tiger and the snow!

[@gvalle2185]

This sweet old woman at burlesque show blew my mind to this song. It was such a sweet song. I held back tears the whole time. She killed it. Happy 420!💃🙏

[@fearlessbetz]

So many themes in this song. I used as our wedding march song, like the beginning of The Tiger and the Snow. I couldn't help but dream that Tom would show up to play, as he did for Begnini!

[@SONGSTICKS]

This guys voice just has something special about it that I can't find the words to describe. Powerful, dark, beautiful, spiritual.. all of those things and much more. Magic

[@SupernaturalLover67]

Age has nothing to do with appreciation for music. You can be 10 and love Tom Waits or 80 and like Katy Perry. all I know is Tom Waits is brilliant and magical.

[@ElectricHorseman66]

This song is so beautiful. Even though the lyrics are meant to be positive and full of hope, it tears my heart a part...

[@peterparker3108]

You can never hold back spring You can be sure that I will never stop believing,The blushing rose will climb, Spring ahead or fall behind, Winter dreams the same dreame every time, Baby you can never hold back spring Even though you've lost your way The world is dreaming,dreaming of spring So close your eyes,Open your heart To one who's dreaming of you and you can never hold back spring Remember everything that spring can bring - You can never hold back spring

[@davidianwarren8790]

[@grinderman911]

Nothing hits me harder then lyrics of this song. Thank you, Tom.

[@sjefendin]

After Rock'n'Roll there is one man, and one man alone that's changed music. Tom Waits. God bless you me old son.

[@anaa1043]

You can never hold back spring You can be sure that I will never Stop believing The blushing rose will climb Spring ahead or fall behind Winter dreams the same dream Every time You can never hold back spring Even though you've lost your way The world keeps dreaming of spring So close your eyes Open you heart To one who's dreaming of you You can never hold back spring Baby Remember everything that spring Can bring You can never hold back spring

[@milicavojicmarkovic1741]

Love this song! Beautiful! This song touch my heart!

[@fransvenrooy4760]

[@Bianconiglio81]

Every time I listen this masterpiece, Tom is able to shake my soul...thanks

[@gemarcher83Che]

He's a poet. God bless Tom Waits.

[@Mark8395217]

First dance at my Daughters wedding... Tom wrote this for us, for she is truly one of the most beautiful people in the world... She has always been like spring to me. Love!

[@Pausini2]

How can a human beeing to compose this wonderful piece of musical art. Is simply one of the most beautiful song I have ever heared!

[@fahim113]

Tom Waits at his brilliant best. The perfect song to fall asleep to after a logn beautiful evening :)

[@robertommundsen9155]

another wonderful song.and the 3 cd is full of them-amazing!

[@pierrechevalier4117]

aaa

[@diddleyism]

Life has been shite of late but when I walk through bluebell woods, just outside my cottage with the grandchildren, words could never be so true. Spring is magical and bursting out, I can hear the cuckoo as I write. Am also watching the little ones sleep, 'innocent while they dream'. Mr Tom does dreams so well and leaves pictures in your mind when dreams are gone. Dream on, folks.

[@diddleyism]

The best one ever, ORPHANS - Brawlers, Bawlers, Bastards. Shame he stopped drinking but maybe it was just the piano. Saw him at a small venue in London many moons ago, accompanied by a bottle of bourbon, me not him, though he might have had one too. It was pure magic, have seen all my old heros, Bruce, Shane, Jarvis, Marianne, Patti, Lenny Al Jolson etc etc etc but Mr Waits has got to be the best! Am just about to go down Fannin Street. Met Old Tom Frost in Dublin but that's another story.

[@TheMadwillie]

HERE IT COMES AGAIN...ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS!

[@AureusVenerabilis]

God took from us Freddie Mercury and Bob Marley but surely wanted to make this world a better place, so He gave us Tom Waits...

[@HelenaMasseyMusic]

i remember my dad pausing and playing this song on his record player, i will love tom always.

[@noblees]

cried too many times to this song, i'm out of tears....

[@M0vida]

je ne comprend pourquoi 18 personne n'aiment pas! Tom Waits c'est un rêve vivant...

[@paulstein4164]

Pure soul...Brilliant mythophoetic composition...Thank you..!!!

[@mark1952able]

Genius...........don't care if you can't get off on his voice.....his lyrics are heavy!

[@luFicarigna]

we do not hold back spring... great words great song... thanks BIG TOM

[@Manu-dg]

The first time I heard this song was in the tiger and the snow movie, since ever I love this song, thanks for sharing regards from mexico

[@hughgavinkicks]

ive dreamed of seeing him live. hope i get the chance.one of the best singer, songwriters of all time.genious.

[@pebner14850]

Tom Waits is AMAZING!!

It's beautiful, simply beautiful, it makes me remember the lost love, that will never finish...

[@slippyking07]

Superb song byebye, thanks for adding it. Honestly Mr. Waits speaks straight to my soul

[@edgbarrowwight]

having watched this in mid January, I could not agree more than Spring is more than overdue

[@mrsbookthief]

I love how it just says "A good song." in the disciption bar.

[@MagdaMagdy90]

First heard tom waits in Roberto Benigni's film "La tigre et le neve" this song was playing.. I got forever hooked ever since..

[@robpost3]

simple amazing...what a journey Tom Waits, this life...

[@sandraeckelhofer]

sempre espetacular Tom Waits!

[@alarmingproximity]

First and last song I listen to every day. And all the times in between

[@pelech666]

[@surprisevisitor2000]

great song, and a really great compilation of Tom Waits stills! Thanks for posting this!

[@jeiti2320]

Profunda, emotiva... plena de bellesa i suggestió... una de les millors cançons de Tom, que ja és dir!

[@hammockmonk]

We love you, Tom!

[@matteoperissutti1830]

Un brano particolare ma stupendo. Ascoltato la prima volta nel più bel film (per me) di Benigni. La tigre e la neve

[@pedroeuproprio]

Just when i´m about to think i´ve heard all the good songs, i discover another pearl from Mr. Tom Waits. The last time was "On the nickel" and before was "A sight for sore eyes" (which i never seen in youtube) Great songs come out of him like from some kind of divine source. It´s amazing.

[@annairamb]

My parents are divorcing. Today, I read some messages that made me sure my mother has a lover. Thank you for this, it's making me feel better.

[@the-mj8rk]

Hello dude. Pretty sure you definetly won't read this, since you posted this a decade ago, nevertheless I decided to tell you that I hope you were okay now. Such emotional pain is something that just doesn't go away. My regards, and stay safe.

[@annairamb]

@@the-mj8rk Hey! That's like so sweet and caring, thank you. I'd completely forgotten about this comment. Those were dark times for sure... I'm certainly doing better now, even though my mental health struggles are far from over. But I survived the worst of it and was able to ask for help and receive it. Taking it one day at a time... Thanks again ❤️ I hope you're safe and OK too.

[@FCBarcelooona]

just have a word for tis: FANTASTIC

[@majaldinho]

The two of us share exactly the same feeling on this. Cheers from Brasil.

[@ppbird0]

well diddleyism, I'm 63 about Tom's age and I have been listening to him since the 60s. Him and Bob Dylan.

[@Thecitybeehives]

Expressive, touching... unparallel emotion.

[@binmanboy87]

Listening to this song is deeply cathartic

[@aiai998]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice...

[@Putaspellonyou]

can't believe this guy is not in the rnr hall of fame...makes me want to burn it down...

[@moonlightshadow3]

love this one

[@opredeleno]

My dear friend's husband passed away 10 days ago. They were such a great family, one of the happiest people I've ever seen... I'm thinking of sending this song to her, but I don't know if it will ease her or make things worse, for I can never hold back my tears on this song. @diddleyism definitely a good choice

[@matseman46]

1,2 million and moore likes, 32 person not likes!! Amazing love it!!! We love TOM...

[@owBlindOwl]

I had a dream about the one I love and when I woke up I remembered this song... Baby you can never hold back spring.

[@albertjcorado]

this video looks like something they would play when Tom Waits passes away. And i love it

[@bayoujosh9809]

Tom Waits is a musical genius!

[@Dja05]

I discovered that song with that amazing movie "La tigra e la neve" (the tiger and the snow), which is just as great.

[@gminnella]

Love this Song. I listen to it whenever I'm down

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

That's a tear-jerker 😢
