on in background just now. This album just never stops doing it for me and has been my favourite TW album for over a decade now. The songs are just beautiful and touching, some may find them cliched and put on but these people can only be described as dead inside and should be pitied

Any Tom Waits thoughts welcome on this thread, especially regarding this particular album

I think I'll buy Orphans while I'm in America as I've only heard two discs from it
