Hmm. That video was played alot on MTV here in Europe when released. It's beautiful.
I think it was that one that made me ask my mom to buy his Greatest Hits collection (I think that Mary J Blige collab was a new single to sell that collection) together with PJ Harvey - Stories from the City... (Which I had read a review of in a magazine).

Are you a Tom Waits fan? Every time I listen to Martha it breaks a small piece of my heart. The whole album is wonderful, Closing Time, his debut album.
As an fyi... Tom Waits influenced my forum name. He played the character R.M. Renfield in the 1992 version of Bram Stokers Dracula

Love Closing Time so much. Alice, Bawlers (of Bawlers, Brawlers, and Bastards), Small Change, Real Gone are regular rotations for me as well - the dude is a genius. If anyone hasn’t seen his Press Announcement where he announced the Glitter and Doom tour, it’s absolutely fantastic - https://youtu.be/EOrG1r3S6ZA

I'm standing at the window in a house next to the ocean I saw her come through the garden there I don't think she knew that I saw and that I heard, but I saw and I heard how she sang, quietly to herself
Love is for them, the ones who are lucky Love is for them, the ones who are lucky Love is for them, Love is for them, Love is for them
I drove down towards the golden city Asked the girls who stood by the road They only stared down at the ground and said, mister You you don't know anything, you don't know anything
Love is for them, the ones who are lucky Love is for them, the ones who are lucky Love is for them, Love is for them, Love is for them
In the quarters behind the station I asked the poets who sat on a row They just stared rabbiteyed straight ahead In the end, in the end one of them said - what would we know about that?
Love is for them, the ones who are lucky Love is for them, the ones who are lucky Love is for them, Love is for them, What would we know about that?
Love is for them Love is for them Love is for them

I just listened to two of your Thåström video posts S_C, and he is really good, man. Thank you for posting the lyrics in English. Now I'm going to listen to the third one. Edit: The "Over The Strait" video is unavailable in my country.

THANKS A LOT MR. TRANSLATOR. I'm just going to listen to the song and insert these lyrics since you've forgotten me...
I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change An August summer night Soldiers passing by Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in Did you ever think That we could be so close, like brothers The future's in the air I can feel it everywhere Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change
Walking down the street Distant memories Are buried in the past forever I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams) With you and me Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night (the glory night) Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change (the wind of change)
The wind of change Blows straight into the face of time Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell For peace of mind Let your balalaika sing What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams) With you and me (with you and me) Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change (in the wind of change)

That is fabulous-pure unadulterated genius!
Do you know what tour it was when he was asked why certain states were chosen and he said something like “someone owes us money in Kentucky” etc...
Hey Spiritual, what about "Centralmassivet"? It has an interesting sound and I'm wondering what the song is actually about. No hurry, just whenever you get the chance, please.

Oh, the latest album. Recorded in the famous Berlin Hansa studio I believe. His lyrics turned more Jeff-Ament-ish on that. More random lines. More abstract. Introspective. My friend called it "lazy".
The title song Centralmassivet lyrics:
The Central Massive (I think this is an area in Spain...)
We are ordinary, we are just anyone Oh, we are stars We are an empty paper, we are a thursday afternoon at the window table
Somehow I found an empty corridor I went in and never, wanted to leave This feeling, that everything there was important Yes, the feeling that everything shines A silver lake
If we ever have needed a miracle Then, let it come now
Some nights I talk endlessly Others, I can't even get out a word Roslagsgatan (read: street in the centre of Stockholm) up through Siberia The basement, where we hanged The North gate, The fireworks
No reason to sleep now, right? Here it just keeps going, never ends Come on, come on, come one Come on and bleed But don't bleed too much
If we ever have needed a miracle Then, let it come now
I think something great is coming I think something great is coming Shake the mirror slowly turn it upside down Go on the straight line Shake the mirror once again
If you ever have needed It is now, now now
We are ordinary, we are just anyone Oh, we are stars

I live right across from the City, used to work in Midtown. I'm south of Fort Lee where the GWB is.

I'm just going to hit shuffle play and enjoy!
His cover of famous swedish 70s leftish political folkrock song "Keops Pyramid (The Pyramid of Cheops)" is great, industrial and heavy.
I'm just going to listen to the song and insert these lyrics since you've forgotten me...
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (the glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (in the wind of change)
Here is his studio cover which I like:
Here are the lyrics:
The Cheops Pyramid
Great, now the emoticon gods hate me.

Shake the mirror slowly turn it upside down
Go on the straight line
Shake the mirror once again
If you ever have needed
It is now, now now
We are ordinary, we are just anyone
Oh, we are stars
