Tom Waits - "(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night"

[@IdealDanl]

I first heard this song nearly 50 years ago, first I heard of Tom Waits. All that time, all that has changed, and the song still stirs my soul. I have never tired of this, nor everything Tom has done since. God bless, Mr. Waits.

[@mikegiesige589]

Feel exactly the same,50+ for me too

[@brad-gu1pt]

My first tom song was Waltzing Matilda. This was my 2nd with so much more was to follow nice ride. Thank you Tom 😎👍 never meet but like a ole friend.

[@maryjohammons8905]

You have a good heart!

[@fijubriju5659]

This album is masterpiece

[@bevwest7428]

Happy Birthday,on this Saturday, Tom Waits!

[@shanebrooks402]

Where all you people in my life? No one gets why this is the greatest.

[@HumungoDick-ue2kp]

Keep searching, brother.

[@JudithH-tl4go]

Loved this from the time it was released. At 22, it made me look ahead to the promise of my own Saturday nights. At 69, it makes me look back at the false promises of youth.

[@biryaniofbodyhair]

What you get up to since you first heard this song?

[@ataqueparoxistico]

I remember the excitement of early Friday nights. The promise of meeting someone that would change your life.

[@joe56474]

False promises are mostly just missed opportunities.

[@markfaulk6409]

I love being just old enough to have bought this album as soon as it first came out. It makes getting old worth it. ❤

[@j.c985]

Tom Waits doesn’t write songs, he writes moods.

[@sibengerard1856]

splendid comment...

[@RIDETHESUNSHINE]

“I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.” ― Tom Waits Please Be Well, Will

[@jarnopesonen8727]

So true.

[@paulstevenson7411]

I have been listening to his music for years.This is one of my favorite songs.

[@richardfoulk3228]

The whole album is pure genius. What a songwriter!

[@richardcrook3372]

Under that mad dishevelled persona lies a total bona fide genius. Beautiful

Eastern Washington, in the scablands, a hot, got summer night. Coming out of a small farm town tavern. My friend and I are in the lotz drinking bottles of tavern Oly, the good kroesened beer. It's ice cold, the temperature is at 114. We get in his orange 70 Cuda and head for Cooley City. Master of Sparks is in the tape deck. Life was better then! I'm 74 now and have some fine memories. We listened to Waits then too. Saw him in the Paranomount in Seattle back then. A superb show! Thanks Tom!

[@georgefraser7143]

This crazy man, can produce the most beautiful songs, thank my lucky stars I discovered this man recently. It's been a blessing. ♥

[@cheekybrewskitovarich]

Look up nighthawks at the dinner and thank me later

[@peterlansdowne5044]

Tom touches my heart like no other. He has gotten me through some rough nights. 3:53

[@terrancewade3864]

I love this song, it reminds me of my early adult life. All of it brings back so many memories.

[@maryjohammons8905]

[@tomcoleman-zt7zz]

Greatest song of all time. Period.

[@ronaldchives2486]

Kills me every time, brings back so many memories xxx

[@tattie278]

This is the anthem of the blue collar guy. Beautiful

[@deborahford8470]

A bittersweet, beautiful song.

[@TheVatonaught]

Loved this when I first heard it and still do a zillion years later.

[@IdealDanl]

ditto :)

[@buddyalbert5808]

Heard this for the first time today. It was a good day.

[@als3243]

As an added touch, the car honks. Perfect.

[@isaiahbasaldua924]

such simple raw poetry in every lyric capturing the magic of the everyday life .A song that casts a spell on you just like one of those beautiful nights out on the town.

[@leheath1266]

This song is about the America I grew up in

[@ivangaspar448]

I ❤ U.S.A ! IVAN/oldfart ..Belgrade - SERBIA 68...

[@bububaer1441]

yes, I love this song...so much. I love Tom Waits and I love this song. One of the greats. The atmosphere of this song is so cosy and cool.

[@judyamylondon729]

I love Tom Waith, music for my Soul ❤❤❤❤

[@bernadettedunn6129]

Love Tom. Looking for Step Right Up. Can't seem to find my favorite but I absolutely love having this great music so I don't have to listen to the lying braggart. This music transports me back to my youth. Didn't know how much I'd miss those simpler times.

[@antoniomarine1567]

That’s a masterpiece

[@ObscenePlanet]

tell my second cousin to leave a message. i'm listening to tom waits

[@ronlemons5316]

Such a great song. The words blend so well together. It transports me to the places in the big cities that I used to visit, the darker, seedier parts of those cities so long ago. And then finding a sort of redemption because of a certain lady that you meet. A lady who literally rescues your soul. You weren't looking for love love at the time, but there it is. And through an act of magic, she loves you also. Oh, to be so blessed. To find the love of your life in that moment. But now as you fast forward through time, it is taken away from you. Your heart.

[@alansommer]

You should consider writing professionally, you're good.

[@C.E.K.]

Wonder how many of us actually know what it feels like to peak at something, anything just once in life

[@SuperBullyone]

very few

[@laurie4468]

I can't get enough of Tom Waits. Beautiful song.

[@berkeleybernie]

Love listening to this song. Love playing and singing this song. Thanks, Tom.

[@stevenee1ply]

When it first came out it made my eyes water. Imagine what it does to me now. Respect.

[@sclivingstrong75]

A huge blessing

[@renoraider9817]

I love Tom's early and middle periods. I don't get his later stuff at all.

[@javi9038]

La escuche hace mucho en un disco de recopilaciónes de canciones de Tom. Y nunca supe el nombre de esta cancion...a todos les preguntaba esa canción donde se escuchan las bocinas😊 y fue asi que la encontre. Unas de mis preferidas💘

[@robertlange1772]

Damn, that’s a good song.

[@brianlalor]

[@johnbruno6868]

I sure love the bass part on this. Well, all the other parts too!

[@Obstsalatissimo]

yes, the bass is singing outstandingly 🙂

[@dhende3]

Only bass part that made me want to go into a youtube comment section to see if anyone agrees

[@ApotropaicV]

One of my 20 favorites (of Tom’s). So wishfully cool and hopeful in that way that is magical for a minute.

[@gchomuk]

Amazing artist. Amazing song/album.

[@kristoffehutchings7017]

Yes, Thank you so very much Tom.

[@E-s.thoughts]

O yes, perfect song for a raindog like me.

トムウェイツ 最高のソングライター 酒が飲みたくなる

[@colchestercreek]

I always remember the first version of this album (vinyl) had a 60 second or so reprise to this song which later versions (tape, cd et al) lack. I always wondered whose call it was to nix that reprise, and why. Formative years. Just beautiful.

[@helgostyle1339]

Nobody writes lyrics like tom hes the boss full stop

[@EvilSkeptic]

I agree, only this was written by Jerry Jeff Walker.

[@EvilSkeptic]

@Dan Dugan You are correct. My mistake.

[@joe56474]

Tom is great, but are you familiar with Nick Cave?

[@lawrenceelliott2890]

"No, I'll not. Despair not feast on thee. Not untwist, slack they may be, these last strands of man in me, or most weary cry, I can no more. I can, can something hope, wish day come, not choose not to be". Gerard Manley Hopkins.

You don't even need to have a second cousin for this song to resonate.
