5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, 6 Jun 2001
Tom Waits's song is a hymn to following one's dreams and sticking to one's beliefs, even if these at the moment seem to lead nowhere but to enormous difficulties. His voice is coarse and raw, full of contradictory emotions: it is tender yet harsh, sweet yet mature. He sings about simple things, 'a dimestore watch' and 'a ring made from a spoon'; but life is made of simple things. The objects which one values most are those objects that have no inherent value per se except for that bestowed upon them by their owner. When Tom Waits sings about such things he is singing about one of the core basics that make up human life. He admits that life going wrong is the norm rather than the exception; but yet he pushes the listener to hold on. Most of all, Waits sings about faith. Faith is what makes one go on living, whether it being faith in God or money, everything or nothing.
