So many folks taking one last look as they leave homes they may never see again. If we could only take one last look at the world’s dictators. Pics and performance certainly captured the feeling. ~ Mark

amen Mark! thanks

Very wonderful sounding song and performance.

I love how gentle this song is, unhurried and poignant. Your voices together for key words are so lovely, Michael and Elisa. This is the kind of music that moves me personally. :)

Excellent my friends 😁😎 Mark.

Tom Waits is one of my favs! I so enjoyed this Michael & Elisa! Such a beautiful cover version!👍

A very nice song , your rendition is very good , well done my friend and have a very nice day !

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this Michael and Elisa !! I hope to have my voice with your excellent music track very soon. Cheers, John

I'm way behind on my Tom Waits catchup, but this beautiful performance makes me think... surely there is no better? However TW sounds, this is emotional. I hail your existence Mr Hermiston, and Ms Louise's contribution is a lovely/loving touch. As other before me have said... wow.

You just can’t go wrong with any TW selection.

Two of my favourite KZreadrs in one video - must be my lucky day! And a Tom Waits song too! Magnificently woozy and some lovely harmonies too!

I wanted to listen to the original which I did not know ..... and I came across a breathtaking video of T.W :)) I put the link in a separate message to avoid spam. Your singing is so sweeeeet compared to his, Michael !!! But if you have very different voices, you both join in the charisma and the extraordinary gifffffft for music !!!!!!!!! We completely forget that you play with one hand... always gorgeous piano and trumpet .... moving singing and you found the perfecttttttt accordion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful black and white video too !!! 💕🌼

thanks so much...i thought about using photos of Ukranians, but i thought people would make the connection anyway... i just read a piece reflecting on their history and current struggles, it's madness that we allow one person with their psychological damage to cause so much grief for so many!! this concentration of power is awful..Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot ..so much suffering!!!

@@michaelhermiston I think most people will connect with your sensitive thoughts relating to this song Michael. Yes, it's almost unreal to think one monster is creating this situation. It really is history, repeating history..Over and over again..There are no words really...Thank you Michael:)

This song must deeply touch everyone who has taken the time to stop and look at their life. I've been there many times, and relived the experience while listening to this gorgeous performance from you and Elisa! The images were fitting and added to that nostalgic feeling! 👀 This is the first time I've heard this song. Blown away to the stars! 🌠🌠🌠🌠

@@michaelhermiston I did exactly that, Michael! Tom Waits reminds me of Jimmy Durante, who would just tear my heart out with his performances, like Young At Heart and Hello Young Lovers, so gritty, but emotionally magnificent! Thank you! He was entertaining performing Chicago, Joe Cocker-esque! I wonder how I missed him all my life! 🤔 I need to do some catch up!! 🏃

This sounds so professional. So intimate and intense. Especially with the video, this made an absolutely wonderful wholesome composition. Love the slight back vocals. Very sweet and sentimental 🎶💚👏👌

Michael, you get more emotion into playing with one hand than most people - me included - can do with two, so never worry about that! You and E did a great vocal job on this (as you always do) and it’s resulted in a delightful finished performance. Well done to you both. Regards, Dave x

Very reflective.

This is such a beautiful performance, Michael and Elisa. I guess it’s part of life to have to take one last look. Tom Waits is such a master. This could mean many things, but for me in particular, it makes me think of the Ukrainians who are having to leave their country now. :) Janet
