Thank you for posting this...awesome to watch Tom trying to make his bones at a crossroads of his career... I still have a copy of 'Heart Attack & Vine', and I still tear up at certain points when I play it...the fact that so many hear it as the rantings of some inebriated reprobate cannot diminish the beauty and the feeling dripping from each track...too bad Asylum couldn't see it then...
Wow!!! Tom and Crystal are music geniuses in their own right...But mix their talents with there technical music team in this Francis Ford Coppola atmosphere and this is IMO one of genuine Hollywood musical masterpieces of ALL TIME! Earned an Academy Award nomination!
It's the 'Tango Instrumental' from One From The Heart. He throws a bit of 'Tango 'Til They're Sore' into the mix when done live, too. Maybe that was the original tango format for 'Tango 'Til They're Sore'?
I've just realized........Listened to the album countless times, never seen the actual movie! @~@ (And I LOVE Coppola!........Some of the time : The Conversation (1974) Apocalypse Now (1979) Rumble Fish (1983) Are three totally different flavours of movie perfection!
Great gold on the One From The Heart Extras DVD. Also the audio only demos played on a theatre system are simply stunning. Hope Tom knows about the Johnson Winery in the Alexander Valley, with it's barn size organ with hundreds of pipes, drums, maracas, horns, cymbals, and giant baffling doors opening and closing while the music on the organ is played.opening up for volume changes, and playing the most gigantic and glorious sound you ever heard in your life. How about an album of this, Tom?
As the stories go, if it wasn't for THIS movie, *Blade Runner* would've had a LOT less neon in its artistic direction, (because Riddley Scott and Co apparently swiped a whole heap of 'em outta storage for their own futuristic LA sets, the year after *One from the Heart* wrapped)
The re-release of the soundtrack with the balck trim on the cover and the street scene pic has extra tracks....and the Empty Pockets suite at the end of the re-release is unbelievable. Amazing. And how about that arranger on the score? Greatness...!
Absolutely! It is rare to see him speaking in this manner! ....I imagine he was humbled a good bit in front of Coppola, who at that time especially was just fresh off all his most monumental, career-defining movies: The Godfather 1 and 2 / The Conversation / Apocalypse Now etc And all the while still remaining an 'indie' director, outside the Hollywood money / production machine, which definitely has its own added artistic kudos (It does have an ever-so-slight vibe of 'dinner over at the bosses house')
@@zetetick395 He seems exhausted by the task! It must be difficult for a free spirit like him to stay true to his own creative process while obeying to someone else's desiderata...
@@lareinedemado Are we talking about Tom, or Frank? 🤔 (That could equally apply to 'em both, imo.) ....They both ended up doing what they wanted in the end, which is the ideal outcome....Tom; onto Rain Dogs, and Frank; onto Rumble Fish. 👍
simply a genius..he borrowed sing styles from great jazz and blues singers(Howlin' Wolf,Louis Armstrong)..while he is an amazing composer and great orchestrator.!(if himself worked for the orchestrating part of his songs)
Richly deserved Oscar nomination for Waits. Love this soundtrack.
...one of the best male-female vocalist pairings in western pop music history!!

I fuckin love the controled melancolie of this man's music👍👍
The MUSIC is the movie. It is the finest and most complete soundtrack ever made.

Absolutely. It's a mystery to me as to why this score is not held in higher esteem by Waits fans in particular.
Tom met his future collaborator, conspirator and other half when he made the movie with Coppola.
Technically they met 2 yrs before on the set of Paradise Alley, but it was a casual passing thing.
There is a bit of the intro to Tango Till They're Sore in there too :D

Jeez...Take Me Home at 9:02. the light really shines down on this man. Stunning melody.

Great insight here to the working proceedures of a master musician and songwriter... Great footage!

Yep, you're right. They cocked up in the editing there.
talented originals!
@bigwaitsfan What you need are the soundtrack CD and the special edition DVD. Both are packed with gems. :-)

Nice to see waits being genuine for once. I'm so used to him hamming up every interview
Absolutely! It is rare to see him speaking in this manner!

7:25
insight into the mind no matter how CV commical
Are Tom and Francis singing "Love and Kisses"?
simply a genius..he borrowed sing styles from great jazz and blues singers(Howlin' Wolf,Louis Armstrong)..while he is an amazing composer and great orchestrator.!(if himself worked for the orchestrating part of his songs)
OK. irst of all, Tom Waits, married to Ricky Lee Jones.. How mad is that..
