Two welcome changes in style made Blue Valentine a fresh listening experience for Tom Waits fans. First, Waits alters the instrumentation, bringing in electric guitar and keyboards and largely dispensing with the strings for a more blues-oriented, hard-edged sound. Second, though his world view remains fixed on the lowlifes of the late night, he expands beyond the musings of the barstool philosopher who previously had acted as the first-person character of most of his songs. Read Full BioTwo welcome changes in style made Blue Valentine a fresh listening experience for Tom Waits fans. First, Waits alters the instrumentation, bringing in electric guitar and keyboards and largely dispensing with the strings for a more blues-oriented, hard-edged sound. Second, though his world view remains fixed on the lowlifes of the late night, he expands beyond the musings of the barstool philosopher who previously had acted as the first-person character of most of his songs. When Waits does use the first-person, it's to write a "Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis," not the figure most listeners had associated with the singer himself. The result is a broadening of subject matter, a narrative discipline that makes most of the tunes story songs, and a coherent framing for Waits' typically colorful and intriguing imagery. These are not radical reinventions, but Waits had followed such a rigidly stylized approach on his previous albums that for anyone who had followed him so far, the course correction was big news.

Somewhere
Tom Waits Lyrics
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll be a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand
And I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday, somewhere

ê Lorsqu'une pilule qui donne aux utilisateurs cinq minutes de super pouvoirs inattendus arrive dans les rues de
la Nouvelle-Orléans, un adolescent marchand et un policier local doivent faire équipe avec un ancien soldat pour
faire tomber le groupe responsable de sa fabrication. √™ Когда таблетка, дающая пользователям пять
минут неожиданных сверхспособностей, попадает на улицы Нового Орлеана, торговец-подросток и местный полицейский
√™должны объединиться с бывшим солдатом, чтобы уничтожить группу, √™ответственную за ее создание. .d

This is the most beautiful arrangement of this song I've ever found.

i am a late papa and my daughter is 16 now - we´re both open minded and have an excellent exchange of thoughts and music - i played this to her and she was puzzled, couldn´t get the almost over rough voice and the smooth orchestra together - but i know it´s seeded in her now - some day... :-)

A lady performed this on american idol last night. She belted it out, showing off her voice -- but no soul, no spirit. this is the absolute best, most soulful interpretation of this beautiful song. period.

we have "the voice of germany" over here - my woman likes to watch it and sometimes i might join in - there are many really talented and good singers, but i often think the same like you: they show all their power and all that, but it sounds strainy and soulless and just from listening my throat hurts, haha - what i really love to watch is "voice kids" - these young persons have so much soul that you permanently get goose bumps at least, if they not just bring the tears to your eyes - and the best of it: they´re so nice to each other, nearly all of them, no fussing about who´s better - love them!
btw. this might be my fave tom waits song... :-)
best wishes from germany

Could not agree more.

When someone misses the point of a tune when performing, I for one think that is sad.
