"We're running through the graveyard
And we laughed my friends and I
We swore we'd be together
Until the day we died"

From his "Frank's Wild Years" album, the Barroom version is my favorite

💿 The Heart Of Saturday Night
🎶 San Diego Serenade

It's my only pick from Waits' second album, which I'm reluctant to call my least favourite.

It is the record of his which has least impacted me, but this song is one of his absolute finest.

The face
The forehead

Tom Waits
🎶 Frank's wild years

Well, Frank settled down in the Valley
And hung his wild years
On a nail that he drove through
His wife's forehead ...

8. Way Down in The Hole

Lovely to see this make a TV appearance as the theme to the brilliant The Wire.

2010.
Mejicanos, San Salvador, El Salvador

Members of Barrio 18 set fire to two buses with people inside and then shot the one who were able to escape the blaze.

These are the kind of demons who are now in CECOT and don't ever let anybody ever tell you any differently.

Who are you this time?

That a song could be this beautiful and this excoriating. At once vicious and vulnerable. A cornered cry for redemption. Only Waits writes songs like these, made from equal parts ambrosia and vinegar.

Still don't like her and I will never trust her motives. Also, she needs to face a reckoning for the evil that she helped install.

That said, she IS saying the right words now. Both parties ARE complicit. Representatives must work for their constituents and not the party.
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026.

💿 Mule Variations
🎶 The House Where Nobody Lives

This song feels like Asylum-era Waits, with all the confidence and assuredness of Island-era Waits.

No wonder it's such a brilliant and affecting songs, one of Waits' most sincere of all.

I think QOTSA does a cover of this one. Which just goes to prove my theory: People love to cover Tom Waits songs.
