OK, I’m 63 years old and this song brings tears of sorrow and joy to my eyes. Life is yet so strange and beautiful to me, and Tom Waits sings it.

YouTube - Tom Waits “Tom Traubert’s Blues” live 1977

YouTube comments are their own meme. They are laughable. They are poorly spelled, full of misdirected wrath, and just a waste of space.

Except for this one. This one is dead on, and one of the most insightful pieces of musical criticism I’ve ever read. “Life is yet so strange and beautiful to me, and Tom Waits sings it.” Perfect.
