Waits wrote this in his 20s, now in his 70s, he nailed the emotion, which I only now realize in my 60s. This is well done. Much clearer lyrics than Tom's version.
Absolutely stunning. For some reason when most people do a Tom Waits song they lose their soul and emotion. That didn't happen here. You absolutely nailed it.
I had a girlfriend named Martha, many years ago. She was marvelous and she loved me dearly but I was young and dumb and foolishly let her slip away. I've often thought about making this call to her, 40 years later. Loved it. I love Tom Waits music and have covered a few of his songs too. Anyway,thanks for sharing this. Liked and subscribed.
This is absolutely beautiful! ✨ And I say this as a big fan of this song. Your voice is wonderful, and so clear on the high notes. 👍🏻 I really hope you are using this talent to play and sing for people in real life too! 👏🏻
Interpretazione meravigliosa di una canzone difficilissima.. Mi hai emozionato.. Era la canzone mia e di mia moglie.. Ora che lei non c'è più gliela dedico ovunque sia. Grazie
Really, really nice. You captured the emotion of the song; the painful nostalgia...long ago but still very much still alive in his heart. It was great. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful and more emotion than the original. So unbelievably outstanding. Thank you for sharing. Can't find you on Spotify. Hope you keep this up on here forever more.
Thank you so much for your kind words. No, I'm not on Spotify. As a matter of fact, even this video wasn't meant to be posted, but I ended up uploading it anyway. I guess I'm too lazy, but once in a long while I find the time to release a new video 🙂 Thanks again 🙏
Currently obsessed with this song and just discovered your cover. You are so talented, man. I love absolutely everything about this, thanks for sharing!
first i was sceptical because of the quality of the video but after you started playing i had no complaints about it and oh boy you've got talent. great job. keep up the good work!
Really nice version! You should check out this channel called H.L. Tandberg He´s been covering Tom Waits for many many years. Lots of great stuff. Cheers from Finland :)
I’ve been off-handedly rehearsing this song lately in view of singing it at a local karaoke night I just discovered. La tua interpretazione m’a non solo ispirato ma liberato, eccome! Eh, Tom Waits, no?
I didn't think anyone could do it as good as tom until I came across your cover
The 100000 views in the last 3 months are from me! Heard it more often than the original! Grazie.
Oh, thank you so much. I got your message while I was recording another song 😉 Check out also the other videos I've made if you like
