Tom Waits - Lord I've Been Changed Lyrics

He can do what he will-when he take a spoon and hit it against some Girls Titts it will still be a great song!

My older brother is an atheist but I'm so happy he introduced me to Tom wait singing these old blues gospel songs a few years ago when I was struggling :)

Powerful message! Cookie monster gospel from the grit Meister himself!

seriously awesome ...I've been changed too

a treasure .

His voice sounds "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car".

so good

What a fucking voice. He makes me want to grind my teeth down and take a buzz saw to my knees. He’s that good.

احححبببببببووو

Why have the kids who were once on this video, and peered through the window, not there anymore?

The most incredible voice the word will ever know

And he's such an amazing actor too. I'm convinced he is in fact the devil. Haha

Scotty Roxwell or a prospector

It´s strange to find an interview of Tom when he talks with his normal voice

A Tom Waits fan here forever

Helen Lizzy Stewart He’s awesome!

Tom channeling Blind Willie Johnson

The voice of the devil singing the words of God.

i think he's playing his Danelectro Convertible - i wish they'd move round to the front http://equipboard.com/pros/tom-waits/danelectro-convertible

Is Tom Waits christian ?

Then ...why he sing Jesus blood never failed me yet?

Twenty-eight people haven't been changed.

this is an incredible video. one of the most interesting i've ever seen. fucking i love you.

Haunting.

Where is this from?

This resonates. its as inspired as Handel's Messiah

The ONLY artist in music history with a career spanning several decades, who never released a bad album.

I think you never had the pleasure of meeting LUIS ALBERTO SPINETTA

Godlike

I want to listen to the camera operators... the people who felt kinda right to capture this...

he's pretty cool, and thats a major deal coming from me y'all

Wow. I've been seeking this recording/vid, since I saw it around 2002. There is more to this interview, and if anyone has a link, I'd love to see it again. Tom talking about Tunes... Tom Waits. Wow.. Talk about "Dare to be yourself!!""

Music, ladies and gents

How gospel music should sound.

Me thinks it's from a Irish documentary made by Philip King called freedom highway songs that shaped a century - class - how did he get this access to the great man - I'd love to get a copy of the show to see it again

+Paddy Mc Creery thank you much appreciated :-)

Living legend but people not able to understand his talent .... fool people crazy about kid .. "Justin Bieber"

@Sudeep Makwana There is no accounting for people's taste. I will tell you though, I got to see him live and you would have loved seeing how diverse the audience was. Men, women, very young people and old, black, white, asian.
I can't count how many women I fell in lust over that night. I've never seen so many beautiful women at a concert.
The people were as amazing to see as Tom and they all seemed to be in awe as I was.
I was offered $1000 dollars U.S. for my ticket. You know what my answer was already.

thank for comment @Bubba Gump 

What show is this from?!!?

a voice like a force of nature - a planetary treasure

Wellsaid.. Thankks for puttin into words what I wanted to say

Is this on a particular album?

It's from "Orphans- Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards" Disk 1

He also did this with John Hammond on Hammond's "Wicked Grin" album.

The version on Orphans has been overdubbed with unneccesary percussion and backing vocals. As far as I know, this video is only place to get the original undubbed version.

putain, il a quand même grave la classe.

there can only be one !

Awesome!

simple bello!!

any1 know what documentary this iis ?

I think he might be god

6 senedir YouTube yorumları okuyorum ama senin kadar haklısını görmedim

haha best comment ever :-)

just wow

DE TUD !

He just gives it his all... he shows the up-most respect to the song, like it is a precious child. His pure musicality always shines through.

He sure does not hold back, and that is why he is so revered... by me and like minded folk..

...scannato!

Look a little closer, these are his kids! He has one girl(the oldest), and two boys.

What is this from?

Hey Tom Waits. You fucking rule man. Did you ever notice that?

its so simple and great tom dosent need anything to be great there is no flashing lights or dancers everywhere trying to distract you from how bad the music is like in the new music comming out thank you tom and love you

Tom drills through your ears right to the middle of your soul, giving it a couple of warm touches before leaving. And that moment leaves you in eternal bliss. The bliss of bright sadness and sorrow.

If there is a Heaven I'm sure the Angels have will him at the top of the list....

I just click LIKE couple of time and now don't know do I like it or not. Tom is phenomenon

like in a good way right?

He's said a lot of things that imply that he's agnostic but seems to very much like the idea of religion. He once told a story about a church that took him and a friend in when the weather was shitty and they did this whole service with speaking in tongues and stuff, and he said if he went to church and was religious, he'd go to a church like that one.

one of Tom Waits best songs

It sure is.

They look nothing similar

Lord, I've been change is what he sings and no, he is not religious.

They look nothing similar

I saw this originally in a music documentary that I stumbled across years ago when flipping chanels on the TV. I think the name of the documentary was "Freedom Highway" - yup, just did a search for it, the full name is "Freedom Highway: Songs that Shaped a Century".

i was thinking the same thing haha

anyone know what kind of guitar he's using? i know Waits uses a lot of gibson's

WOW this guy is the real thing.

Our brothers in Donovan Prison Yard 3 sing this every Sunday - except they sing "My Father in Heaven done signed my name!" Powerful!

That kid in the window has seen the greatest thing in his entire life and doesn't even know it yet......

Can I get an Amen
Thank You Mr. Waits

HOME RUBBER

This song is so mind blowing.

tom waits ... the singing rustbucket ;) and thats a compliment!

Angels in heaven done sign my naaaaame

I wish Tom was my neighbor growing up, look at the kids haha awesome

This man really knows how to deliver! If you enjoy the music of Tom Waits you should check out my cover of Chocolate Jesus on my channel.

I have just discovered Waits. He is phenomenal, I really feel his music.

This is too much for me!! He is amazing, it feels like time stops when he sing, thanks for posting!

what is this from? i want to see the conclusion of the interview after the song.

@zaperfan Rofl. Fantastic answer.

@zaperfan Why would he reach into my shoes?

@zaperfan Of ANY generation

Some people make you feel grateful they're around.

Hell yeah!

After watching this I know that I have been changed!

If religion was more like this song, I'd be in church every time the door's opened.

@nightfrailer I think that was the best comment I've ever read.

@skywalker909 Or any generation, rather.

@sonictimbo They look the same but Hetfield is not a genious at all. Besides that, Hetfield now sings with a voice that resembles my wife's.

@sonictimbo They look the same but Hetfield is not a genious at all.

@sonictimbo among many others

The laugh at the end is the best, as he emerges back into the universe from wherever he was...

Isn't that James Hetfield's dad?

@seedofvision poetry

that guitar tone is gold

He is saying I KNOW I"VE been changed.. Not NOAH been changed.. Maybe you were making a joke?

I think this video might be from the same show that has Down in the Well in it. Looks to be the same room he plays that one in. That video is on Youtube, and has German overdubbs in the very beginning before he starts playing.

Simply fabulous.....

What is this from? What year? Can you post the entire documentary?
