Shiver Me... Is my life story. The first time I heard it I wept. Nothing worse than possessing an abundance of love with no one to share, an impatient family for me hasn't a care and a man without a passion to share, the sea and the sunsets will always be there...If no other appreciates the sentiment within, just go it alone and take it all in. It's your passion. Be selfish. "Shiver Me Timbers" always makes me emotional and there are many cover versions you should seek. Try Bette Midler's live version. I too desire The Tom Waits tear jerker to accompany me to my burial as well...Unless I choose to be buried at sea... "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". My version; "If the beholder is not wise to beauty, It's useless for them to open their eyes". Peace and Sail on... B.F.B. 4/30/19

Well...this is awesome and I expected something like a 360 x 2 with a half turn in there somewhere. Also this sounds nice Have a lovely and blessed day everyone
I thank The Last Ship for introducing me to this song. It's a great way to welcome back Tom Chandler.
Me brought here from last ship, can't wait to see all, what an incredible series I watched so far 👏👏👏😍
Same here man
When this song plays I feel like sailing in the blue sea all alone.
Thanks Tom(both of em)!
Tom Waits is one of the GREATEST poet/singer-songwriters in history!
This is about death and the final trip we take. The sea is obviously heaven. I just posted this to my dear friend's memorial page.
Love this song... the whole album "Heart of a Saturday Night" is awesome !
I totally agree with you, "Closing Time" and "The Heart of Saturday Night" are masterpieces!!!
Beautiful, poetic, melodic....great stuff & amongst Tom's very best.
this song says so much to me.... I have seen Tom many times... this has a special meaning.. I want it played at my funeral
