what i'm listening to right now

i cannot explain why i like this song.

"downtown train," by tom waits:



at some point, nora put this song on one of her famous mix CDs and i have loved it from that moment forward.  his voice is so tortured, but so beautiful.  i don't own any other tom waits music, and maybe it's better that way.  nothing could beat this song.

this crazy-ass music video does it no favors.  just listen - try not to watch.

    3. You should never listen to the Rod Stewart cover if you love this song.
