"Blue Valentine" by Tom Waits from the album 'Blue Valentine'
Lyrics
she sends me blue valentines
all the way from philadelphia
to mark the anniversary
of someone that i used to be
and it feels just like there’s
a warrant out for my arrest
got me checkin in my rearview mirror
and i’m always on the run
thats why i changed my name
and i didn’t think you’d ever find me here
to send me blue valentines
like half forgotten dreams
like a pebble in my shoe
as i walk these streets
and the ghost of your memory
is the thistle in the kiss
and the burgler that can break a roses neck
it’s the tattooed broken promise
that i hide beneath my sleeve
and i see you every time i turn my back
she sends me blue valentines
though i try to remain at large
they’re insisting that our love
must have a eulogy
why do i save all of this madness
in the nightstand drawer
there to haunt upon my shoulders
baby i know
i’d be luckier to walk around everywhere i go
with a blind and broken heart
that sleeps beneath my lapel
she sends my blue valentines
to remind me of my cardinal sin
i can never wash the guilt
or get these bloodstains off my hands
and it takes a lot of whiskey
to make these nightmares go away
and i cut my bleedin heart out every nite
and i die a little more on each st. valentines day
remember that i promised i would
write you...
these blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines

You could be the most lonely person in the world. But the only thing that's never going to abandon you, is music.
And booze
Unless you go deff 😏

Sang this song over and over to my newly born daughter in intensive care unit until she was able to breath on her own.... Took 8 days.... She still likes this song even though she's 16 now.... Music saved her life... Thanks Tom.
That's beautiful.
Love, strength, and power to all of you. I hope your daughter has a great life.
Found this album in a marked down bin. Had never heard of Tom before. Took it home. This song........omg....still haven't got over the amazement, all these years later. Most incredible song, the lyrics are like none I've ever heard in my life.... just hard to believe this artist's mind and vision.
Without a doubt one of my favourite Tom Waits songs. Gives me chills every single time.
I love the disinterested guitar. Like he hired a guy off the street and got him drunk....beautiful song.
Well said
@@mabul513 the guitar solo on Blue Valentine was performed by Ray Crawford (1924-1997.) Bill Frisell never played on that album.
PENIEL face of christ
Dm7 Em7 Am7 A7
The guitar is Tom and the solo Ray Crawford
I don’t understand, I think both guitars are beautiful
Как же я люблю эту песню! Каждый звук, каждое слово рвет душу. Сожаление о том, чего уже не исправить, которое оставляет трещину на сердце навсегда. То сожаление, что заставляет вдруг грустно задуматься в самый неожиданный момент посреди веселья, отключившись на минуту от всего, упасть в свое воспоминание, о котором никто не знает и которое никто не поймет
This song has haunted me for yrs.....The guilt weighs heavy, smothering.... year after year after goddamn year!
Everytime I'm brokenhearted, I come back to this song.
im with you ❤️🥺
You & me both. I've def lived this song!
Me too❤
Me too man, me too
OMG one of the first songs I heard from TM about 30 years ago and still one of my favourites
This whole album is amazing, i only knew Tom Waits from Primus' "Tommy the Cat", just broke up with my girl who we were together for years and years but now I know it's over and this album is medicine. And his lyrics on most of the songs reminds me of being strung out to forget or drinking the blues away. This album is a masterpiece
Agreed along with Swordfish trombone.
Bounced Checks!
Adoro questo pezzo. Piango quando lo sento, penso a quando ero ventenne. Bei tempi!!!
Amazing artist and musician of our time!!!
Canzone triste malinconica ma allo stesso tempo impossibile staccarsi perché ti procura quel sottile dolore che diventa insostenibile ma che ti porta alla crisi di astinenza dello stesso...e non puoi farne a meno e non riesci a staccarti.... ciao Tom
Soul crushing
This is the album that did it for me.
Someone turned me on to Rain Dogs and the Big Time VHS. Later I found a used Blue Valentine LP and it has since been my favorite TW album next to Nighthawks at the Diner.
Michael Mcgarrah..Sir I love this comment
Tom Waits is iconic, eclectic and a soul stirring ninja
Awesome and timeless
my pure love for so many years!
especially now, when my husband has passed away
She sends me blue valentines
All the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels like
A warrant is out for my arrest
Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
That's why I'm always on the run
That's why I changed my name
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here
To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Baby it's the thistle in the kiss
It's the burgler that can break a roses neck
Its the tatooed broken promise
I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
I 'm gonna see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
They're insisting that our love
Must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness
Here in the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders
Baby I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel
Instead these blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a whole lot of whiskey
To make these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin' heart out every night
And I'm gonna die just a little more on each St. Valentines day
Don't you remember that I promised I would
Write you...
These blue valentines
Blue valentines

The best word Smith bar none on the planet

My song... It follows me...
Me mandó valentines tristes desde Filadelfia, para señalar el aniversario...
De aquel que yo solía ser... y lo siento como si se tratara de una orden de arresto,
De alguien que me vigila desde un espejo retrovisor... "yo sigo a salto de mata",
Y es por eso que me cambié el nombre... y nunca me imaginé que pudiera encontrarme,
Me mandó un valentín triste, como aquel sueño roto, como una piedra en el zapato cuando pateo por las calles... y el fantasma de la memoria es la espina en el beso... es el ladrón que rompe el tallo de la rosa, es la promesa rota tatuada bajo la manga... te veo cada vez que te doy la espalda.
Me manda valentines tristes, por más que intento estar en Altamar en Casa de la chingada...
Insiste en que ése amor debe tener una estela... cómo podré salvarme de toda ésta locura que guardo en el cajón de la mesita de noche, que me espía permanentemente sobre los hombros...
¡Nena!, yo sé que sería feliz si pudiera ir por el mundo con un corazón roto y ciego... ése corazón que duerme en mi solapa. Y me manda sus valentines tristes... para recordarme el pecado capital, para que no pueda nunca lavar la culpa, para que no pueda nunca deshacerme de los rastros de sangre en las manos... y te juró, me lleva muchas, muchas botellas de whisky poder alejar las pesadillas de mí... cómo podré deshacerme de éste corazón roto, cada noche... y cada noche de San Valentín, me muero un poco más... y me acuerdo que te prometí que te escribiría... yo también... en estos tristes valentines... tristes valentines...
Is this a Russian wolf hound? It looks deformed. A neighbor had one if these and ot also had a sideways compressed chest. What they do with some breeds.

Obs that should have said TW
Second lieutenant of God.
@@dynamischemoral9125 Thank you.
nice album, but a bit unremittingly mournful for me ,,, i need a few of tom's kick ass songs in the mix ... but sweet
To be fair
the album is called Blue Valentines
Dull and ever repeating
you have no idea
bro what the fuck
Hahaha
You would know
You're immature, and have no soul. Good luck.
it's 2.14.24...I'm alone and quite the appropriate song to listen to
Well, you aren't alone in listening to this and being alone on 2/14/24 … lots of lost loves and NO regrets
