Tom Waits, “Take It With Me” (1999)
Every great Tom Waits song (of which this is one) will still repulse anyone who doesn’t love Tom Waits.

21 years later and this song still 100% does it for me.
This is the kind of melody that absolutely does it for me. 100% completely.
I had not listened to this in a long while, and that was a big mistake.
It was really only Rob Harvilla’s repeated championing of this song that ever got me to listen. Thank God. Goddamn perfection right here.
