Estati lontane sogni lontani tutto lontano come il blues di questa Song.

Tom Waits - Kiss Me..

Том человечище!!!

Origin of Muse brought me here.

Ray Crawford was a jazz guitarist whose career started playing sax with Fletcher Henderson in about 1941. There is not much available on amazon or youtube apart from a few recordings with Ahmad Jamal and Cecil Payne. Even on wiki, there is only a cursory article in French. He had a brittle, crystalline tone and lyrical approach to improvisation. He contibutes to this song from the late 70s what is probably my all-time favourite guitar solo. At the end of it, even Tom gasps at the perfect beauty of what he just heard...

That's the really brilliant true story! Awesome! Happy birthday to Tom Waits course if it matters to him, anyway Tom Waits since Waltzing Matilda always in my mind and probably deeply just because he is talking/singing/transmitting about something so important or realized life as it is and that's very great. Tons of thanks for sharing!

This song makes me want to put on an expensive suit, and jump out of a 20th floor window.

Yep, or do some realy expensive drugs and drink my self to death and end up in a shitty rehab telling strangers about my pain over a woman that left me for another guy, while he takes my daughter to soccer practice and I watch from the bushes across the street between shitty coffee and strangers at AA meetings

Don't do it ...unless I can hold your hand

fucking adverts!!!!!!!!

Los pelos de punta, escucho incansable este Blue Valentine, esta voz que se adentra como lava ardiente…

First time hearing this song, my goodness this melody is beautiful for the soul.

Jedne davne veceri sam prvi put cuo tuzna pisma...i od tada ih stalno slusam...

the guitarist in this sounds so similar to hubert sumlin - who is it? one of Toms best songs, to be played with the lights off, preferably raining outside and the soft yellow streetlights highlighting the rain trickling down the window as you sit lost in thought ... THAT is Tom Waits to me!

"Hooker from Minneapolis."

That Guitar solo is amazing! Every note was played for the song.

Top Class !!

SO GREAT SONG FOR ME...THANK YOU

Who could dislike Tom Waits the guy is a genius! So much soul.

Powerful voice

Y'all better start lovin' somebody.

My ex-boyfriend used to sing Blue Valentine and he had the same voice as Tom Waits. I miss him

Truly sorry to hear, Estelle. Hard to imagine anyone on the planet with a voice like Waits. Anyway, good luck with the healing. :-)

@Eflat Major if you could listen to him, you wouldn't believe it. Thank you a lot. Have a nice day

Tom really does have a huge vocal range!

only recently became a Tom Waits convert...really excellent stuff

just love this

MASTERPIECE , COS MY MOM AND I SAID SO !!!!!!!!

Hardest song to cover imo. I tried. I failed

진짜 눈물남 ㅎㅋ

Beautiful musical makes me calm and vanish me up to the good dreams. Thank you tom for your music

What for does he wait though?

He is the best. Smooth jazz and only the guitar and blue voice. Nice to hear it.

Yeah, also great of the guitar player to fit the solo so good in its genres... it's kinda cross over between jazz, blues and blues rock. He doesn't emphasize non of them yet they're there. I think that's a tricky thing to do.

RIP my aborted unknown bastard kid. She didn't tell me, I only found out about five years later from that girlfriend of hers.

Here. Let me step on your heart. In case you'd forgotten.

Гуд!

those breaths !! oh lord!!!

From my favourite album of all time. Extraordinary, moving magic

Just discovered Tom Waits!

him and joe henry have something similar

cant get earle bailey to play it

Лучшее, что довелось услышать за прожитые годы...

Happy Valentine's day to all the broken hearts

"hearthbreaker" song - beautiful

I envy those 160 peeps who haven't experienced a heart break yet

I don't. Life is for living, for joys and really hard times. If you live your life without love, without loosing it, without emotions, just having easy life I don't think you've lived. Every good song comes from some kind of human emotion which is not just happy joy moment. They comes from heartaches. We just need to live them through and get over in time... ❤️

Maybe I'm just crazy but I think every note has enough time to breathe if you hear it at 0.75 speed.

This feeling is so surreal... he really can make me happy, really. And yesterday, with this same song, he made me sad as hell. This song brings all kind of emotions. I love him. I truly hope I can see his live concert someday.... i cannot understand why he is not famous as much as he deserves.

Good muzic 2 smoke 2!

The Best

I believe this was my first Tom Waits song ever heard back in Toronto on an electric radio station (CFNY 102.1) that played the non traditional FM records. I WAS HOOKED FROM THEN ON. I can get into the mood anytime I hear Tom.

Красиво он так поет......

What a great artist with all the human ordinary living beeing

Listen!

The fucking best of all the times!!!

Tom Waits songs are the perfect soundtrack to any Bukowski book.

Earl Thompson too ( a garden of sand) ! And others...😉👍

Conmovedora 💖

The ghost of your memory that buries a thistle in a kiss.

it takes a whole of whiskey to make these nightmares go away. who can't relate to that.

WICKED TOM WAITS

Sex playlist enter .. Turkler burda mı ?

just uploaded a guitar tutorial if anyones interested :)

Intro (before he starts singing):
Dmin9 - E9 (3 times) - the second time play the Dmin9 with root on the E string, 10th fret

Verse:
Dmin7 - E9 - She sends me blue valentines
Dmin7 - E9 - all the way from Philadelphia
Dmin7 - E9 - To mark the anniversary
Amin7 - A7 - of someone that I used to be

Dmin7- E9 - And it feels like a warrant
Amin7 - A7 - is out for my arrest
Dmin7 - Baby you got me checkin
E9 - in my rearview mirror
Amin7 - A7

Dmin7 - E9 - Thats why I'm always on the run
Amin7 - A7 - it's why I changed my name
B7 - B7 - And I didn't think you'd ever find me here
E9 - E9

Repeat these chords for the rest of the song in the exact same order...

tnx man

Thank you very much for your work, Alexei! I came to this site for this! Did not know it exists!

Fuck Valentine’s Day.

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
Thats why I'm always on the run it'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 its the thistle in the kiss
Its the burglar that can break a rose's neck
Its the tatooed broken promise I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
I'm gonna see you every time I turn my back

Oh you send 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 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 this 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. Valentine's day
Don't you remember I promised I would write you

These blue valentines
Blue valentines
Blue valentines

Exquisite all over

straight to my heart. X

they just don't make them like Waits poor kids these days are stuck on stupid with things like lil pump just a damn shame

Un supplément d'âme

اعشق توم ويتس

انها موسيقي أكسل وحرف

I met a woman day after Valentines day, hit everything off for about a month or two. She showed me this guy. Ended where we barely talk and it's pretty much ghosted me.

Real music. For real people. With real emotions. Forever Waits.

I'm from Russia and I also like his songs. I m 12 years old. In advance apologize for mistakes if there is.

You etch your way into my heart and soul with this beautiful song. you are a genius.

Allahsız tom sokup içerde çeviriyor. Soktun bırak işte

Prvo sam citao o "Blue Valentines", te je cuo na radiju, a plocu sam kasnije kupio u Ljubljani, gde sam bio mesec dana na obuci (JNA). Plocu sam cuvao kao relikviju, a nije nestala iz vojnicke kasete, jer nije niko znao za Waitsa - na moju srecu.

Bellissima!!!!

Damn you...

I ran !Lindsay!

It's the tatooed broken promise
I gotta hide beneath my sleeve

SUPER HiT 1993 yesr i love you Tom thx

Blue Valentines- Nothing less. Nothing more. On the button.

My usual go to song for Valentine's Day.

😢💔

Damn, this sounds like it could be a King Krule song

Still the Waits. heart breaking but beautifully soulful. this heartin my lapel

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 out for my arrest
Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
And Im 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 Its the thistle in the kiss
Its the burgler that can break a roses neck
Its the tatooed broken promise
I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back

She sends me blue valentines
While tring 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
Id be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With this blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel

She sends me my blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my handa
And it takes a whole lot of whiskey
To take this nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
And I die just little more each st. valentines day
Remember that I promised I would
Write you...
These blue valentines
Blue valentines
Blue valentines

We don't get real music today. It is gone. This is an example of real music. It can be played live. It is real. The people who run the music business are greedy as usual and have updated the ways of manipulation. Why do you think barbie dolls dominate music?

The downside of wide appeal, low risk endeavors. The richer u get, the more cautious u become. See "the Shape of Water", "Three Billboards outside Ebbing, M..."

You're not looking hard enough

every sheep that comments this bs obviously doesn't pay attention to music. there will always be great music. you just ain't going to find it on the radio. get into local music, give underground artists a chance. open your mind and ears, and stop closing yourself in this old man box.

jmotz3 i disagreed, we just havta hunt for it ... unfortunately it isn't mainstream. But Tom is not for sheep.

who's playing the fine guitar here?  does Tom  play guitar?

Tom plays the accompanying guitar. Ray Crawford plays the amazing solo.

Tip of the hat to John LaStrada who also supplied this information downstream.

& keyboards.

Great tune!

The moment he opens his mouth, an entire generation of lost love and scuffed shoes pours out... Yet he's a highly concentrated form of desire and hope... What a living conundrum.

Sometimes even whiskey doesn't cure.

Ferhad Aliyev whiskey is not a cure. It just temporarily numbs the pain.

Wait. whiskey cures? I thought it causes!

It pickles.

hui and mice all appreciate old tom
