Desperation?
Ferocity?
Parental guidance?
Whatever; this is good.

Reminds me of Leonard Cohen.

The juxtaposition of Tom's gravelly voice and the evocative lyrics makes this song unique and subtly powerful.

It's trippy, and worth renting. And for me, the soundtrack is exceptional because, for one thing, you understand Tom's lyrics on first listen - and Gayle offers such a poised and torchy counterpoint to Tom's raunch. An odd match, made in heaven nonetheless! It's been a fave for my wife and I since first listen..."and I'm tired of pickin' up after you". Thanks for the memories, Tom! |

Made me laugh. I had a college roommate who would rise, take a shot of Yukon Jack, drop the needle on Tom Waits and proclaim that a great day had begun.
I like the way your ex-roommate thinks! (Except I'd take a shot of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum). Carpé diem (before it carpés you.)  |

Saw him in the movie " Coffee and Cigarettes," in a vignette with Iggy Pop. It was really dumb, but seeing both guys at the same time was kinda cool. |

An 11 would not be high enough for this song and many of Mr. Wait's tunes....
Ahh... what a great song for right now...

Tom has been in my top 5 for 20 years at least, but this one helped me through a particularly hard time so has a special place in the musical lexicon for me. Thanks for being there for me Tom, with this song and so many others

Of course not. That's just silly.
The litmus test for good taste is liking Radio Paradise!
Yes, Agreed!  But it is interesting how RP helps us to broaden our tastes! Believe it or not, I'm actually developing a liking for Tom Waits' music! |
