| Tom Waits – Rainbow Sleeves Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I loved Kimmortal's quote about this one being there in poignant moments and being glad it exists. Me too. Absolutely! Just after high school (1985), my parent's basement became the hangout for my friends and me. Some of us drank more than we should (try and tell an alcoholic they've had enough for the night when you are at THEIR house). This song always reminds me of those times when she sang the line 'And a heart that has been broken/Will be/Stronger when it mends. I would practically demand silence and one night a friend went on a rant and said whoever can say that has never truly been in love? I'm a bit older now. Sober. This song will ALWAYS demand my full attention. I introduce people to it and blow their minds. My favorite lyric now? 'Don't let the blues stop you singing/Darling, you've only got a broken wing. | |
