"All I had was you, and all you had was me". Both Tom and Tim sing this wonderful song with the feeling that makes me remember when... I'm 71. Ta for posting. Bert
When I was at University I ordered every album I could of T. Buckley's. I ended up seeing him by chance at the Vancouver airport. A great artist gone too soon.
When i was twenty i bought the album sefronia in PARIS FRANCE.I found this singer in AKAI's records guide.Each year we got a new edition with a lot of singers( folk rock singers from everywhere).I pointed my finger fortunately on TIM BUCKLEY.I didn't know him .What a good surprise! He died to young like a lot of singers of this period.what a sadness!
While I agree with you all that Tim Buckley did a great job at this, I believe Tom Waits does and always will stand above anyone who sings his songs. Just listening to Tom Waits you can hear all of the soul and feeling put into his pieces and that could never be done again by another artist.
I could never help but feel that Tom Waits is overdoing it. The drama, the overly exposed sentimental suffering. Waits almost makes me laugh. He's his own parody.
+Theo Singer I love Buck, I love TW even more... But thee is an Irish singer, huge bass baritone voice.. that nails Martha (musicly!) Fredddie White... and this is from a TW prosteliser...
I too like the Waits one better than Tim's, but Lee Hazlewood has the best version imo. ruclips.net/video/JSx2H10WJec/видео.html ------- Honorable Mention: ruclips.net/video/Dj7HRf6erFE/видео.html
I too like Tom's version of this song ~ It's all a matter of taste as to which is better ~ But the Tom Waits version has a lay opening of his soul through his voice ~
Hi Alex. Oh, to be 20! And to have such good taste! I suspect you have tried Tim's son's (Jeff) work too. Just as good - in a similar but different way. I hope you enjoy a long, full, healthy and happy life - one filled with exhilarating music. Bert
i know what you mean, Greetings from LA and Happy Sad are probably his two best records, as for sefronia and look at the fool, they weren't great, but there are some really good songs on them
I don't believe Buckley meant it to be done the same way. Was Hendrix's "All Along The Watch Tower" the same as Dylan's? You could do the same with hundreds of remakes. The idea is to make your own stamp...not steal the other but go ahead and rant...you'll feel just as empty.
Operator, number please, it's been so many years She'll remember my old voice while I fight the tears It's been twenty years or more now, Martha, please recall And meet me out for coffee where we'll talk about it all and Those were days of roses, of poetry and prose And, Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me There was no tomorrow, we packed away all our sorrows And we saved 'em for a rainy day I feel so much older now, and you're much older too How's the husband, and how's the kids, you know that I got married, too Guess that our bein' together was never meant to be But, Martha, Martha, I love you, can't you see and Those were days of roses, of poetry and prose And, Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me There was no tomorrow, we packed away all our sorrows And we saved 'em for a rainy day Those were days of roses, of poetry and prose And, Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me There was no tomorrow, we packed away all our sorrows And we saved 'em for a rainy day
This song gives me shivers when Tom Waits sings. I got shivers from Tim Buckley's version, too. Thank you for that!
Yes,it's not a contest it's an interpretation as always.Tim ,Tom ,so close yet thank goodness, so very different.
I was young when I first heard this, time flies and music makes it easier when missing special people. still miss you Tim

Grande, grande, grande Tim! Questa cover è meravigliosa🌷

Theo Singer that's the rub, isn't it? Folks want to cover our idols, but then how do we ever stand up and sound as good as our idols.

Tim could sing...anything. and turn it to a jewel!!!
Splendor and gold of a frankly era !
Havent heard too much of Tom, But i listen to Tim on a daily basis haha
Doesn't matter how much of a legend you are.. you just can't do this song better than Tom.
mick flannery
So?
What a perfection!!
Beautiful
Cheers, mate. I really do love Tim AND Tom. Best PG One of these days I'll find I love this version more than Waits'
Tim doing Tom . God Bless and Om Shantih
so many memories
Tim's voice....just shut up and listen !
Tim was the only tim i ever knew,
Tim Buckley singing Tom Waits, does it get any better?
Tom waits singing Tim Buckley?
Tim Waits singing Tom Buckley?
Bruce Springstein singing Tom Waits?
Henri Campbell Yeah, Tim Buckley keeping his mouth shut while Tom Waits sings?
Tom waits singing Tom waits? love the cover though!
Tim Buckley was great neverthless this cover hasn't supposed to be a five star one.

Tim and Tom 🎉
The last three albums were the best.
i know what you mean, Greetings from LA and Happy Sad are probably his two best records, as for sefronia and look at the fool, they weren't great, but there are some really good songs on them
You did teach me about Jonestown. i did not know about that. haha
He looks so much like Jeff in this picture.
Tom Buckley!
Some studio engineer must have been insanely busy doing Mellotron tape changes when they recorded this.
I usually am very critical about covers but... this is nearly as good as original

Ottimo! Questo è essere un artista, e Tim era un grande artista!!
I'm sorry too. Peace, Mr Blunt. PG
Operator, number please, it's been so many years
She'll remember my old voice while I fight the tears
It's been twenty years or more now, Martha, please recall
And meet me out for coffee where we'll talk about it all and
Those were days of roses, of poetry and prose
And, Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me
There was no tomorrow, we packed away all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
I feel so much older now, and you're much older too
How's the husband, and how's the kids, you know that I got married, too
Guess that our bein' together was never meant to be
But, Martha, Martha, I love you, can't you see and
Those were days of roses, of poetry and prose
And, Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me
There was no tomorrow, we packed away all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
Those were days of roses, of poetry and prose
And, Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me
There was no tomorrow, we packed away all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
Tom Waits brought me here.
Thanks for your input, but real buckley fans wont have 1 bad thing to say about any buckley song.
A killer version of Waits song
I'm sorry, but you are right,
Didn't the people in Jonestown say stuff like that?
Its nice but Tom's original version is full of emotion: its moving.
We live in a Fucked up World. 5 billions people should say to the google that don't have rights to each song they post!
Max bracht me hier . . .
Bette Midler's version is almost as good as Tom's.
Great voice, but not keen on the OTT backing
Just saying, you're not a buckley fan. sorry.
This isn't that good considering Tim Buckley's greatness, but still miles better than crappy Ol'55 by the Eagles.
love Tim, love Tom. But the drumming is unnecessary and the strings a bit too fruity.
I like his son more, and I like the guy who wrote this song more too. lol
That is so crap compared to Tom Waits. It's over produced, melodramatic tripe. He destroyed it!
exactly! Soapbox opera!
Obstsalatissimo yeah kinda waitesque right?
...kinda.... :-)
I love it, think it's the better version
Im so sorry to be agree with it. Tim was already gone.
Boring piece of kitsch this version.
No contest with the original one…..i'm sorry mister Buckley….r.i.p.
this version is great. I don't agree with you
mercanti22
well..no problem about that..this is a free world yet...anyway i didn't say it s not good...but the original one is better...
