    A perfect example of “riveting restraint.”
    He doesn’t oversing a single note. Other, younger singers would incinerate this. He goes for glow and slow burn. He serves the song impeccably. A master, this man.

      As you said. But not only this. It takes a lot for an artist to break what people might expect from what he or she performed for a long time. I am coming back to this song and his voice every so often. Maybe mostly only every year. And it touches me deeply every time, all the same. Not only the melody or Tom Jones voice but the sincerity of the presentation.

      Gonna pull a tangent here.
      Likely not most folks taste, but always loved the visceral, hint of cynicism in the Jesus and Mary Chain arrangement.
      Love Cohen, Tom's great.
      But love the tweak the JMC brought to it.
      It's cool if y'all hate it too. We all have our takes on what is aesthetic.
      Didn't come to bitch, came to hear every take on this one as it touched folks.

I'm a photographer & I'd send him my photo calendars every year. One year, I added a letter with my calendar stating that it was my mom's birthday. It said, "I'd give her the world if I could, but if she met you, it would make her just as happy." That night I got a phone call saying we had backstage passes. So much gratitude.

    Wow. The voice is still strong and beautiful. He sells the lyrics....it's like he is singing it just for me....great communication....the whole package and the blue eyes and the smile don't hurt either. Long time fan. Saw him two nights in a row years ago in Vancouver, Canada. What a show that was!

I love to hear his songs since many many years and I hope, he will be able to make tours again and that he will come to Germany!!❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    as a huge fan of Leonard I am sure he was listening and would have been so proud of Sir Tom's singing his song. Such meaning and emotion in his singing , he seems to just get better every year his voice sounds to have just improved with every year and always has been able to put his own touch to every song he sings. Saw him in Las Vegas back in the 90's and he sounds even better to me to day than then. Thank you Sir Tom for all the years of sharing your talent.

    Genius!
    Tom Jones
    and
    Leonard Cohen!
    Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
    I ache in the places where I used to play
    And I'm crazy for love but I'm not comin' on
    I'm just payin' my rent every day in the Tower of Song
    I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?"
    Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
    But I hear him coughing all night long
    Oh, a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
    I was born like this, I had no choice
    I was born with the gift of a golden voice
    And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
    They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
    So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
    I'm very sorry, baby, it doesn't look like me at all
    I'm standin' by the window where the light is strong
    Ah, they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
    Now, you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure:
    The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
    And there's a mighty Judgement comin' but I may be wrong
    You see, I hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song
    I see you standin' on the other side
    I don't know how the river got so wide
    I loved you, baby, way back when...
    And all the bridges are burnin' that we might've crossed
    But I feel so close to everything that we lost
    We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
    Now, I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
    They're movin' us tomorrow to the tower down the track
    But you'll be hearin' from me, baby, long after I'm gone
    I'll be speakin' to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
    Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
    I ache in the places where I used to play
    And I'm crazy for love but I'm not comin' on
    I'm just payin' my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
