Tom Waits For Kids [394b]

We welcome Eadie and Melia to the podcast, presenting five songs from Waits aimed at younger listeners, and discovering how the junior contingent of Song by Song feel about them. We discuss creepy voices and creepier sheds, the feeding habits of Golden Eagles, and the deep trauma of poor WiFi connectivity.

Orphans Summary - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [394a]

Sam and Martin conclude the 22nd season of Song by Song, bringing thoughts on the 60+ tracks, 21 episodes, 10 guests and many musical influences we’ve considered over the last 5 months of the show. We talk over the album order, it’s purpose for both Waits and his listeners, and attempt to form a Best Of list by making a few “adoptions”.

No One Can Forgive Me / Mathie Grove / Silent Night - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [392/393/394]

A final set of bonus tracks brings us to the end of season 22, with Christa, Martin and Sam enjoying a demo-style blues number, an extended bit of acapella storytelling, and Waits’s duet with a children’s choir. We conclude with some exaggerated masculinity, the Elizabethan-equivalent of Reservoir Dogs, and a bit of Christmas charidee.

Musician and writer Christa Couture joins Martin and Sam for the final few Orphans, including a Book of Knots collaboration, the tale of an unpaid grocery bill, and a bit of ol’ Blue Eyes. Our penultimate episode for the season includes a celebration of youth, silly storytelling, and a surprise vocal cameo by the one and only Kathleen.

Cannon Song / Jayne's Blue Wish / Dog Treat - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [386/387/388]

Heading into the final tracks from Orphans, Tim, Martin and Sam discuss the ruinous junkyard dog that is Waits’s music, with another track from Brecht/Weill’s Threepenny Opera, some nursery rhyme cribs, and a bit of spontaneous(?) comedy. Waits delivers some aggressive anti-war sentiment, a song slightly lacking in specificity, and then finishes with a load of absolute bull.

We welcome writer and podcaster Tim Clare to Song by Song, for more Orphaned songs about the significance of imaginary diamonds, sound-check deadlines, and a collaboration with Primus. We discuss reinterpretations of The Ramones, another version of Kerouac’s song On The Road, and a very valuable belt.

Crazy 'Bout My Baby / Down There By The Train / King Kong - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [380/381/382]

Having dealt with all the Brawlers, Sam and Martin dig into the bonus disc of Orphans with a Fats Waller cover, music first performed by Johnny Cash, and a synopsis of King Kong. We discuss Waits’s capability as a pianist, his treatment of history’s villains, and consider his cover of an iconic outsider-artist musician.

Rains On Me / Take Care Of All My Children / Spidey's Wild Ride - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [377/378/379]

Some soothing, some heartbreak, and some extreme weather for Miss Yankey, as she examines another set of Orphans with Sam and Martin. Waits looks back on his Troubador years with tenderness, calls for care of the children of Seattle, and delivers a questionable hip-hop tribute.

Miss Yankey rejoins Martin and Sam, bringing her perspective on the writing and performance of this week’s selection of neighbourhood memories, childhood crimes and old cars. We peer over Waits’s fence at forbidden gardens, pair greek myth with tragic violence, and visit with Kathleen’s dad.

Sea Of Love / Goodnight Irene / Altar Boy - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [371/372/373]

Jo, Martin and Sam return to the ocean, the church, and another Leadbelly cover to consider Waits's reinterpretation of various older songs. The swirling Sea of Love, the unnecessary pub singalong, and behind-the-altar confessionals all get a new twist, to varied effect.

Walk Away / If I Have To Go / Poor Little Lamb - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [368/369/370]

Walking back to the show only to walk away again, Jo Neary takes on another trio of Orphans with Martin and Sam. Beginning with the 90s religious material, heading back to theatre of the 80s, and then the street poetry of William Kennedy’s childhood, we also consider how Waits’s writing functions as a dusting soundtrack.

The Return Of Jackie And Judy / It's Over / Home I'll Never Be - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [365/366/367]

Martin is a punk, Sam Pay is a runt, Vera joined the podcast and they all… focused on getting enough water because hydration is important. We dip back into the Woyzeck material, consider Ramones fandom, and Waits pays tribute to Jack Kerouac.

All The Time / Little Man / Nirvana - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [362/363/364]

Vera Chok makes her triumphant 2023 return to Song by Song for fat driving beats, donated smooth jazz vocals and a moment of zen. This week we discuss the anger of an ageing codependent relationship, the nature (and futility) of advice, and the magic of anticipated nostalgia.

Road To Peace / Fannin Street / Redrum - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [359/360/361]

Dina is back for some tricky conversations with Martin and Sam about the geography of Shreveport and Huston, more Woyzeck off-cuts, and of course, the big topic of the Gaza conflict. We consider Waits working outside his comfort zone, his Lead Belly reversal, and again discuss the “why” of his instrumental choices.

It’s all stories of attentiveness and canines this week, as we welcome Dina Del Bucchia to the show for a striptease routine, sentimental intensity, and a song about a mean lady. We discuss his connection to Bette Midler, consensual domination, and the needs of attention-seeking Leos.

Lord I've Been Changed / Tell It To Me / First Kiss - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [353/354/355]

Jeffrey’s with Martin and Sam for a second Orphaned week, delighting in gospel music, songs of absentee fathers, and approximately 500 Bing Bangs. Waits sidesteps his irony to celebrate religion (or at least its musical traditions), we get down and dirty with a country music legend, and Jeffrey… falls in love!

Ain't Goin' Down To The Well / World Keeps Turning / Two Sisters - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [350/351/352]

We welcome Nightvale’s own Jeffrey Cranor back to Song by Song, joining Martin and Sam to explore a Lead Belly cover, sentimental material from the film Pollock, and a murderous song of sibling rivalry. We talk about mutability and adaptation in the blues tradition, supernatural extensions in folk ballads, and Martin experiences a moment of emotional crisis.

Lucinda / Shiny Things / Bone Chain - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards [347/348/349]

A positive start and slight decline for Hannah, Sam and Martin, with Waits in murder ballad mode, a simple banjo-led song of yearning and the first instrumental of the album. The ‘who’ of our Brawler, the ‘where’ of our Bawler, and the ‘why’ of the Bastard all get a good discussion, as Song by Song continues through Orphans.

Martin and Sam welcome Hannah McGregor for another trio of Waits’s abandoned children: a hobo lullabye, his contribution to the Shrek-niverse and a tribute to one of 1969’s most unusual solo projects. Plus: how hard would it be for two women in their 30s to fit inside one overcoat?!?
