Midnight Media Cafe - Picture in a Frame

Was listening to this song earlier today, and heard it in a whole new way.

Picture in a Frame - Tom Waits

The sun come up, it was blue and gold
The sun come up, it was blue and gold
The sun come up, it was blue and gold
Ever since I put your picture in a frame

I come calling in my Sunday best
I come calling in my Sunday best
I come calling in my Sunday best
Ever since I put your picture in a frame

I'm gonna love you
'til the wheels come off
Oh yeah

I love you baby and I always will
I love you baby and I always will
I love you baby and I always will
Ever since I put your picture in a frame




Those of you who've been squeeing with me over the last couple of days - doesn't this sound like Ethan? (The song, not the voice, obviously.)

Can't you just imagine him lying in bed with Brona while she was dying, murmuring this for a lullabye?

Oh, it just leaped out at me when I heard it that night. If Ethan ever sang, it would be something like this, I think - something simple and heartfelt, the kind of thing anyone could sing. And the song really sounds like a song from that era, doesn't it?

Goddess, I love Tom Waits. No one else sees life the way he does.
