Your videos make me appreciate Tom's music way more than i did, as if that was actually possible.

Perfect analisys! Please do more of Tom's songs that way!

Thanks for this detailed info on this my favorite song to play on guitar. More of these tips on the right details in beautiful songs. Remember when i finally learned this song i thought, now i can die happy!

I've been playing this song for nearly 30 years. thanks for this. It's amazing the quality and diversity of musician that Tom has attracted.

Fantastic job Danny. One of my favourite Tom ballads. Thank you. I’m just a harmonica guy but your knowledge and expertise is fascinating.

How the hell do you know so much about Tom Waits? I loved the video about the guitarists who've worked with Tom, this is great too, please do as many of these as you like, good on you

Great stuff. Keep Tom coming, can't get enough. :)

Thank you for this video. "Closing time" is my favourite Tom Waits's album and it's a pity he decided to stop performing it not long after its release. I read an old interview about this fact - interview that I've never managed to find again - where he said that he doesn't really like that much anymore: he said something like "It was my fist album and those songs where soaked with a sense of ..." but I don't remember what he was talking about. Anyway, this song is a gem.

so good, thanks heaps Danny. I LOVE that first album ! thanks for highlighting this gorgeous track.

Wow -- wonderful.

Keep em coming, Danny! 👏

Fantastic vid. You have delightfully chilled teaching style, mate. Long may you thrive.

Excellent!! Adds some details I figured out to my interpretation of this beautiful song.

Brilliant stuff mate, very thorough and accurate. Thanks a lot. Take care

Great video, excellent analysis and explanation of the song.

you have a great energy brother!! thanks for the tips!!

Really sweet and well researched ! Well done buddy

great lesson! thanks

This is such a wonderful, great, helpful video. I loved the details on what else was going on in the song, not just what Tom was playing. And the background on those other musicians. Thank you so much for giving me the details on how to play the song. This is one of those songs that seems pretty simple (the good old I, IV, V as you say) but there are a lot of subtleties in Tom's playing that are not readily apparent and that I doubt I would have been able to get on my own. So thank you for this. It's much appreciated. P.S. The first verse of this song showed up in the new movie "Flora and Son" on Apple TV which is where I thought to try and learn it.

Thank you so much!

Great video!

Best tutorial for the song I've seen, really enjoyed the video!

This is the first song I learnt to play and sing at the same time. Now I can finally learn to play it properly 😂

Hi, is there a download for the tabs?

What about "Whistle Down the Wind" tutorial?

best examples of Toms early finger picking were those albums "Tom Waits early years vol 1 and 2"..just bare bones demos done before his first album i believe..the demo version of Ol55 is far superior than what was on his first album..their amongst his best i reckon. I hope that i don't fall etc..is better on the demo

Lovely stuff, though I’m just listening to the original and it seems to be in the key of D.
