You had heard Tom Waits before!?
Yes a few times. His songs is like trying to bottle smoke. You know, with the grit, it’s also poetic and as far as I can tell, it’s deeply human. All three times I listened to him, it was involuntary but I ended up liking the songs. Lol.
Maybe you can show this article to your friend and get them over on Hive :-)
I’ve talked Hive with her before but she wasn’t interested. She said she’s not good at being consistent with writing.
Bottled smoke hahaha yes, I always thought of him as whiskey and cigarettes personified. He’s actually a genius though
This song is haunting and one of my favorite:
And if you are up for some fun:
Maybe the prospect of meeting a strange American in Japan with similar music taste would convince her? 🤣 no need to force it, up to you.
I would love to know what other music she listens to though.
I can see that.
The ones you shared here are some really great picks. I played them while sitting with a friend and he was drawn. In his words “who is that? I should look him up”. Lol. I guess there are more people who would enjoy his songs if they listen to it on a deeper level.
She’s a friend I met in the university. We’ve completed our four years and she’s gone back to her state so we’re not physically close. However, I will tell her on WhatsApp what she’s missing out on😂
