Walking the streets of New Orleans with Patricia … heading back from the bars of Bourbon Street… Came across an orchid in the sidewalk… mildly stepped on. Picked it up, offered it to her, she refused (A neat summary of our relationship) … and I left it floating in a fountain outside our rooms. I can still see it floating there… beautiful and discarded in my minds eye … EVERY SINGLE TIME I HEAR THIS SONG.
I would say he is more the voice of people's suffering. All people of the Earth that have endured hardships, alcoholism, heartbreak, gambling have their feelings expressed by this man. He is a voice like no other.
Long way going to Get my medicine Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren Piano from a window played Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday I found it in the street At first I did not see Lying at my feet A trampled rose Passing the hat in church It never stops going around You never pay just once To get the job done What I done to me, I done to you What happened to the trampled rose? In the muddy street With the fireworks and leaves A blind man with a cup I asked Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine' I know that rose, Like I know my name The one I gave my love, It was the same Now I find it in the street, A trampled rose
Quite a few of his songs play with time signatures actually, usually it's due to Tom's unusual phrasing. Often they're subtle. For example, Rains On Me often interjects bars of 2 in it's 4/4 structure, I don't know what the fuck's going on during the Shake It prechorus, and Hell Broke Luce always throws me off. Some of his songs don't really have a time signature and are more ametric.
I think you may have forgotten a word here, because clearly you meant to say that America's government is pretty shitty. People are people all over the world.

Misery is the River of the World
Long way going to
Get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose
Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around
You never pay just once
To get the job done
What I done to me,
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?
In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves
A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'
I know that rose,
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose
Ευχαριστώ για τα lyrics
Love to anyone here...
My minds eye sees...Mr. and Mrs Waites gifting us a duet...mmmm
Tom’s music always makes me feel like God left the classroom and we finally get to dance and scream
Tom Waits is the voice of America
thats why he sings his songs in this heartbroken tortured style
How fresh , how real ....
I so get this!
He is a storyteller
Not sure which version I like better - this or Alison Krauss
I like the Carolina Chocolate Drops version too.
best tom's song
Good old Tom xxx
the only odd time signature song of tw that i know of

With Tom Waits, the author.
other than Johnny Cash there is nobody else who i can hear emotional pain in the voice
Billie Holiday, Judy Garland - different genre, same bottomless pain.
How fitting : )
viva la france and democracy
The end of Circus is chopped off. ?
Nirvana should’ve cover “Trampled Rose”.
Only a world leader even in its biggest slumps. Lol. Haters gonna hate I supposed. Clever little devil, you.
misery is the river of the world † everything goes to hell anyway
I kinda feel like a trampled rose
I am that trampled rose
What's the medicine for a love stricken heart that would give her roses to be trampled with her disgust
The medicine appears to be the belief that GOD hears my every prayer & loves me too much to leave me stuck like this forever
Eeeeeeew!😳
The whole world's pretty shitty.
Tom Waits is the not shitty part........

LSB Comics I would love to come to your beautiful country, one day I will

I'd love to have the American Government of 6 years ago instead of the shitty American Government we have in 2018.
The noxious lettuce neurobiologically increase because sock macropharmacologically reproduce near a workable edge. knowledgeable, melodic force
That made as much "sense" as Obama's "change".
Conservatives trying to grasp any cultural artifact that's remotely original and interesting is the gift that keeps on giving
Don´t compare this piece of art to Obama, you virgin fuck
This guy...
