Can you ladies cover every Tom Waits song? Just brilliant you highlight his beautiful melodies so perfect. Is like he wrote melodies just for you two to sing like songbirds! This world ain't so bad now....
Stumbled across this a a handful of years back, and I keep coming back. I think perhaps it's one of my favorite renditions. Wherever you both are in your lives now, I wish for you that it be filled with laughter, love, and hugs, overshadowing your mournful moments. Thank you.
Beautiful! Huge Tom Waits fan here, I rarely find covers that don't feel like they're simply not getting Tom's work right. And you can usually tell it in 20 seconds. Yours is perfect from end to end - not to mention you two are obviously extremely talented. Congratulations and thank you for this!
What an incredible find. Two faeries that compliment each other perfectly. Sort of reminds me of when I was in highschool and there were female duets at every coffeehouse. Good to see this is still around.
Maybe, some day, I will understand serial killers, people liking Justin B, secrets of pyramids... but these dislikes will remain a mystery to me until my last breath.
This is, truly, to me, the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. The sound of the entire track made me so happy that tears welled up. Honestly, that's never happened to me before in all my life. I don't even ever comment on youtube, I'm just so moved right now I can't not.
This is, suddenly and unpredictably, one of the best moments of my life. I'm having flashbacks to all the times I've felt this moved by a surprising or happy movie ending or book or beautifully worded phrase, but I've never had this from music like this before. My gosh, I haven't had this feeling in so long, but it's so instantly familiar and welcomed. When I was young and everything was new, I was constantly bewildered by beautiful moments in life, and somewhere in this intermittent meandering journey through this (seemingly) infinite digital sea of media I've come to embrace the habit of the search rather than the appreciation of lingering in the things I'd found. Of taking time to basque in the beauty of art and go back to the same piece until you notice all the little nuances, and even then you keep finding new ways to appreciate or understand or be inspired by it. Clicking through videos, posts, articles, wallpapers, becomes the norm, the surf becomes second nature, knee-jerk, automatic, more, more, more, another another. Habitual and relaxing, sure, but ultimately thoughtless if you let it. Suddenly I'm connected to myself when the internet was new, the same time in my life where I'd coincidingly learned how to fully appreciate beauty with all my heart. Before I took this ease of surfing and media access so lightly and expectantly. Before experiences left me jaded and obsessive over trying to understand all the problems in the world and in myself. Somewhere along the way I lost touch with who I was a decade ago, the self that had so much left to learn -- yet already had so much figured out. Growing up doesn't always mean giving up the best parts of who you were as a child ; just working on the parts that need working on. I just listened to the audio, but eventually I'll go back and watch the expressions and movements and heart the performers went through in the video. But for now I'm content with finding an audio jewel on the internet. I haven't been this suddenly moved and uplifted since I saw FrenetiCore's Dancing with the Machine live. My gosh, this is such a unique feeling that I can't maneuver my mind to deliberately. I think when your brain hears something it needs to hear or something it really likes, it resonates internally. Resounds, rebounds : a neural extravaganza. I bet a graphical computer model of the part of the brain that can make you feel music so strongly looks like a lightshow. Wonder how far away that technology is from a kickstarter. I don't understand why some art or movies or sounds or phrases give me a strong feeling while others are beautiful and pleasant but not overwhelming. Regardless, this is one of the best and metaphysically satisfying feelings and inspires me to become a good enough artist someday to share this feeling with others too. ================================ Thanks for this song. & to anyone that reads this: have a wonderful and heartfelt next 10 seconds,, & have a wonderful and heartfelt the rest of your life.
Wow, this is indescribably beautiful. So glad I've found this on tonight's midnight whiskey ramble through RUclips. I'm hearing the harmonies of the angels!
I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Tom Waits is my favourite songwriter but least favourite singer. Others have picked up his songs and made a hit of them e.g. Rod Stewart but nobody, until now, has truly captured the essence of his songs. In this video we get the lyrics and score of a genius AND the voices of angels. Keep it up. You ABSOLUTELY nailed it.
I can only hope that Tom himself has come upon this. The harmonies go in so many beautiful dir cations as to create almost additional melodies. Now I love this song more than I already did.
I agree with another poster that the beauty of the song is the specific way Waits sings it... But screw that you guys made that your own song! Lovely, haunting and peaceful at the same time. LOVE IT
100% randomly came across this - honestly not even sure how I ended up here. Sounded familiar but couldn't place it, till it got to the chorus, then realized I heard this song many many many (!) years ago when I watched the movie Smoke (Harvey Keitel). Nice job gals! Beautiful rendition
A beautiful rendition even though so different from Waits' I love this piece and have been listening to it since 2008 - hope you guys will come back and sing more!
Magnifique découverte... pas tout à fait par hazard ! Merci pour cette délicatesse, ce charme, cette légèreté et la petite touche d'humour finale qui en dit long sur votre talent mesdemoiselles. Bravo.
I'd normally say this song is for the Tom Waits kind of voice, but damn, you sound like angels, so what the hell... this is just magnificent! Adorable.
Very impressive and the most important aspect to me anyhow is the fact that you've done it in a new, imaginative fashion. I like it very much indeed! Ron PS I've subbed too. :-)
Did you know you can cure headache? Mine is just gone after the 3rd song in the playlist! You're fantastic... Go on with Tom Waits! It's like you release the hidden divinity of his beautiful lyrics...
Wonderful job, ladies... I'm a fan of the Waits song (one version in particular) and you did a nice cover of it. Much as I like Waits, it's nice to hear a clear, gentle version of his work (without whiskey voiced Tom) that's done well.
I am so overcome with the beauty of this cover, ladies! Brought tears to my eyes. I am in love with Tom Waits. You both did an amazing job with this. Now I'm in love with you!!!
Very tasteful and beautiful arrangement of this song. Great job! I just did a Tom Waits song myself, but mostly because I was sick and had a gravelly voice.

Over ten years ago and I'm still coming back now and again every time I'm on a Waits cover journey...thanks gals for this gem.
I wanted to like this comment because it's exactly what happens to me and then I saw I had already liked on a previous tom waits covers journey.
This is probably the best cover of this song on youtube.
easily!
I think my cover isn't too shabby myself, though. If I may say so ;) Please give it a look!

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!
I agree with you and their cover of green grass is magic!
Agreed
Why hasn't this gone viral? By far the best version of this song I've ever head.
because he said it was made by irish special forces. a croc of shit
I do listen this. time to time... after years passed by....

Huh. I never imagined this song done pretty. Cool.

The purity of your version is unmatchable. Thanks for sharing your magnificent interpretation and skills. You've made a heart lighter.

Wonderfully harmonic version of a beautiful song.
A beautiful rendition even though so different from Waits' I love this piece and have been listening to it since 2008 - hope you guys will come back and sing more!
