We probably all remember the first time we heard a Tom Waits song. For me, it was at the end of the film "Smoke." As you can imagine, I forgot about the movie and was enthralled by something that was so different than I had ever heard. It was "what is this?" "who is this?" Then "how could I not have known about this?" and so on. I immediately went looking for other music by Tom and that was it.
first head this when i was 15. ever since, its haunted me. its one of the most memorable songs ive ever heard. it literally haunts me at least once or twice a week. who else can write such a tune.
@@momo_genX I heard it in Smoke. Whenever I hear the song my mind goes to the story that it plays over in the movie. Both song and story are wonderful.
@@jasonuk8333 I heard it there to, but I never paid much attention to the barroom version. I now think it's the best one, though. It was a perfect scene, almost like the scene was made specifically for the song.
Almost 20 years ago, I broke the heart of my dear friend. But we did not part. _"Child asleep",_ she wrote last night --which took me back to this song.
Artista unico e generoso. Sa dare tutto ai suoi ascoltatori. Lo dico io che non conosco l’inglese. Per cui se fa vibrare sentimenti di commozione lo si deve ad un’arte arcana e immanente.
What a great song, so totally fitting for the movie. Harvey Keitel and Tom Waits on their best. Just as the other actors ofcourse, I mean William Hurt, Forest Whitaker, Stockard Channing, Ashley Judd, that is a cast, can't get any better and the music was totally It.
Fantastic songwriting😊Franks WikdYears 3rd album released on island recordsafter swodfish and raindogs equally as goodtoo thanks to mrs waits a magnificent trio of creativity . Imean come on straight up to the top
Innocent When You Dream The bats are in the belfry The dew is on the moor Where are the arms that held me And pledged her love before? And pledged her love before It′s such a sad old feeling The fields are soft and green It's memories that I′m stealing But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream You're innocent when you dream, when you dream You′re innocent when you dream I made a golden promise That we′d never part I gave my love a locket And then I broke her heart And then I broke her heart It's such a sad old feeling The fields are soft and green It′s memories that I'm stealing But you′re innocent when you dream, when you dream You're innocent when you dream Innocent when you dream Running through the graveyard We laughed my friends and I We swore we′d be together Until the day we die Until the day we die It's such a sad old feeling The fields are soft and green It's memories that I′m stealing But you′re innocent when you dream, when you dream You're innocent when you dream, when you dream Writer(s): Thomas Alan Waits Lyrics (Innocent When You Dream Lyrics Übersetzung Die Fledermäuse sind im Glockenturm der Tau liegt über dem Moor wo sind die Arme, die mich gehalten und damals ihre Liebe versprachen und damals ihre Liebe versprachen Refrain: Es ist so ein altes, trauriges Gefühl Die Felder sind weich und grün es sind Erinnerungen, die ich stehle aber du bist unschuldig, wenn du träumst wenn du träumst Du bist unschuldig, wenn du träumst Ich habe hoch und heilig versprochen dass wir niemals auseinander gehen werden Ich gab meiner Liebe ein Medaillon und dann brach ich ihr Herz und dann brach ich ihr Herz Refrain Als wir durch den Friedhof rannten, lachten wir, meine Freunde und ich Wir schworen, wir würden zusammen sein bis zu unserem Todestag bis zu unserem Todestag Refrain Writer(s): Thomas Alan Waits Lyrics)
Bear with me on this... I identify as a a cis, white, hetero male. However, I have a couple of celebrity mancrushes with whom I would have sex. I do not have a mancrush on Tom Waits. But, were he to ask, I would have sex with him out of basic respect for being Tom Waits.

And it's the ending song of the wonderful movie 'Smoke' . If not seen, you must. You'll cry.
Dad, that's for you. Wherever you are ! ❤
I've been looking for this song for years. Finally found it in May 2022. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Song is 10/10 😌
I remember hearing it in a movie, but I already knew Tom Waits

In the movie Smoke this is the cherry on top of the cake
Make a golden promise and keep it. Love this song. Auggie's story in Smoke. Perfect cast, perfect film.
Probably my favourite ever song. Human beings are stuck being sad and beautiful
Almost 20 years ago, I broke the heart of my dear friend. But we did not part.
_"Child asleep",_ she wrote last night --which took me back to this song.
Even though the record jacket has faded over time, this song is still beautiful.
Heard in the movie Smoke (1995). Directed by Wayne Wang
Me too, never forgotten.
Thank you I knew I heard it in a movie but couldn't remember which one

Merry Xmas.

Have a great new year.
A truly marvelous old timey song. This and Tom's other perfect old timey song, Coney Island Baby are on my shortlist of favorites.
Totally never gets old for me...so real..amazing Tom Waits
This needs a hell of a lot more likes.
You're damn right.
I remember that a bottle of whiskey went well with this gem. Salud!
i wish all my dreams were kind and innocent.

Still speechless today when I hear this marvel.

Gracias Tom
Crazy people need lullabies too.
Pezzo clamoroso, da custodire gelosamente. È un bene che certi capolavori siano poco conosciuti
Grazie ❤
Smoke movie
E' un brano struggente.

I made a golden promise
that we would never part
I gave my love a locket
and then I broke her heart.

Innocent When You Dream
The bats are in the belfry
The dew is on the moor
Where are the arms that held me
And pledged her love before?
And pledged her love before
It′s such a sad old feeling
The fields are soft and green
It's memories that I′m stealing
But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream
You're innocent when you dream, when you dream
You′re innocent when you dream
I made a golden promise
That we′d never part
I gave my love a locket
And then I broke her heart
And then I broke her heart
It's such a sad old feeling
The fields are soft and green
It′s memories that I'm stealing
But you′re innocent when you dream, when you dream
You're innocent when you dream
Innocent when you dream
Running through the graveyard
We laughed my friends and I
We swore we′d be together
Until the day we die
Until the day we die
It's such a sad old feeling
The fields are soft and green
It's memories that I′m stealing
But you′re innocent when you dream, when you dream
You're innocent when you dream, when you dream
Writer(s): Thomas Alan Waits Lyrics
(Innocent When You Dream Lyrics Übersetzung
Die Fledermäuse sind im Glockenturm
der Tau liegt über dem Moor
wo sind die Arme, die mich gehalten
und damals ihre Liebe versprachen
und damals ihre Liebe versprachen
Refrain:
Es ist so ein altes, trauriges Gefühl
Die Felder sind weich und grün
es sind Erinnerungen, die ich stehle
aber du bist unschuldig, wenn du träumst
wenn du träumst
Du bist unschuldig, wenn du träumst
Ich habe hoch und heilig versprochen
dass wir niemals auseinander gehen werden
Ich gab meiner Liebe ein Medaillon
und dann brach ich ihr Herz
und dann brach ich ihr Herz
Refrain
Als wir durch den Friedhof rannten,
lachten wir, meine Freunde und ich
Wir schworen, wir würden zusammen sein
bis zu unserem Todestag
bis zu unserem Todestag
Refrain
Writer(s): Thomas Alan Waits Lyrics)

タバコでも吸ってクリスマスを過ごそうかな
WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS I THOUGHT THAT THE ARTIST TOM WAITS WAS DRUNK
It certainly makes a lot of his characters more authentic
Just beat shchict part of steve allen inspired image its showbiz baby
My favourite waits record small change now that was a drinking album
Auggie Wren's Christmas Story
needs more stereo frank
Not part of his agenda. The whole purpose is that old school vibe
@@inetfraud you nothing about the old school vibe.
Sounds like a drunken love song
It is😊
Oerso je préfère Alice!❤ ça break moins le coeur ! cest fortiche cet enregistrement entre potes
One dislike???
Who can explain it?
@@dscronce there is a group..bent on disliking everything!
2 now. Go get 'em!
None now
Why does this song remind me of the war in Ukraine?
.
Bear with me on this...
