My favorite Waits "Duet." These two were a perfect pairing for that time of their career. Francis Ford Coppola heard this an decided to pursue Tom for his film "One From the Heart."

I've always preferred "scores" to films to random pop songs.
Gustavo Santaolalla is one of my favorite composers for films.
"De Ushuaia a La Quiaca" is just an exquisite piece of music. It's one of many perfect performances that enriched this film experience.

"Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me
He told me many things
And he said son
There's a lot of things in this world
You're gonna have no use for
And when you get blue
And you've lost all your dreams
There's nothin' like a campfire
And a can of beans"

When my wife was pregnant with my son, she told me I needed to speak to the belly.
I leaned in close, and in the best "Tom" voice I could..
"He Got Himself a Homeade Special!"(LOUD)
She wasn't amused.😁🤣🤣
