Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen)

My mother loves this song (70) i love this song (33) my daughter loves this song ( 7) can't say more about the power of music than that

Ah Tom, you can't love a total stranger any more than I love you.

Can’t listen to this song without shedding tears.

The man makes pain sound so beautiful.

I'm a recovering alcoholic, but I still get the urge to drink from time to time. I listen to this song of a stranger in a strange land, totally drunk, and lost. It brings me back and the urge to drink passes. My Doctors tell me that if I were to continue to waltz with Matilda that it will kill me way, way before my time. I listened to them, got sober, and I'm due for a liver transplant in a year or so. I would've been dead a long time ago if it weren't for this song. Thank you, Tom Waits, for helping me stay sober.

I saw Tom in 2008 at the Edinburgh Playhouse.He only played two nights and nowhere else in the UK. I was lucky enough to get a ticket, the atmosphere was fantastic and i knew I'd probably never get a chance to see him again. When he sat down at the piano you could hear a pin drop as he played the opening notes of Tom Traubert's Blues and I thought... this is one of the best moments of my life!

I heard the Rod Stewart version and thought it was pretty good. And then I heard Tom's original. I'm nearly 70 and been listening to music all my life (well nearly). This stopped me in my tracks (poor pun). I just burst into tears, as I have each time since. This is beautiful/tragic/emotionally shattering but makes me feel human. You're never as in touch with your emotions as when you cry and Tom can make you laugh and cry and sometimes at the same time. Thank you Tom.

Wow! What a song! Tom's voice conveys raw pain yet underneath there's hope to be found somewhere.

Been listening to Tom since the 70's... I love seeing how positively he is received today by people who have yet to hit 20 years of age. Tom is timeless... truthsome in lyrics will do that.

First heard this in 1977 while driving to Carson City in Nevada. Absolutely bowled over. Been an ardent fan ever since.

If Tom doesnt touch your heart..you don't have one...❤❤💘

"It's a battered old suitcase, to a hotel someplace, and a wound that will never heal" still stands as possibly the greatest lyric ever written.

brings tears to my eyes.

I got this wonderful gift. I read an article that mentioned Tom Waits so I looked him up and fell in love with his emotional and lovely music. I am only sorry it took me until I was 70.

これほど美しい曲はありません 涙が溢れてきます

Es gibt nicht viele Songs die einen so ergreifen. Das Original ist immer noch das Beste. Danke Tom.

One of the five greatest songs for me. I cried the first time I heard it. And now, twenty years afters, my eyes are wet. Art in superb expression. Long live Tom. The best.

One of my favorite songs of all time of any music, and I like many types. My wife passed away on the 18th of Dec. and her father followed Jan 2, on what would be her 49th birthday. I listened to his tonight, the live version and this the original is my favorite. What a comfort for me tonight. Some might think this is crazy. But for me it is wonderful. 

We're so fortunate that were in this world at the same time as Tom Waits.💕

Tom Waites us my bedtime mate. Love the voice, the feeling
