"(But) The moon is full here every night
And I can bathe here in his light
The leaves will bury every year
And no one knows I'm gone"

A Short/Beautiful song. From my favorite Waits Album.

🌳 This is not a painting — it’s the view from beneath an ancient pedunculate oak. It is over 400 years old.

When you gaze upward, the interwoven branches create a soaring hall of light and vitality — nature’s own grand masterpiece.

A documentary crew followed this polar bear as it searched for somewhere—anywhere—to shelter, but its home was gone. When it finally sat at the cliff’s edge and let out those slow, sad growls, it became one of the hardest moments they had ever filmed.

Now, I'm someone who thinks of people's opinion on music as being like food. It's about one's individual taste.

But, I have to ask, is this country music?

Looks more Michael Jackson or Madonna to me.

This performance is from his 1979 appearance on "Austin City Limits." The entire show is fantastic, but this song is probably my favorite on this for it's bluesy feel.

11. Jersey Girl

Released in 1980, Tom wrote this for Kathleen Brennan. Bruce Springsteen started to perform it a year later…they actually performed it as a duet only once, in 1981 also.

12. Day After Tomorrow

2nd/final pick from Real Gone. It’s comparatively straightforward when set against the rest of Real Gone…its anti war sentiment is all the more affecting for that.

“What I miss, you won't believe
Shoveling snow and raking leaves”.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon

It's time to be saying goodbye

My Son said the Musical breaks in this tune sounded like it was from an old western.🤣

I definitely hear some "Beefheart" in this. Maybe it's just me.
