Waits/Kathleen

We’ve been working together since Swordfish… I’m the prospector, she’s the cook. She says, “you bring it home, I’ll cook it up.” I think we sharpen each other like knives. She has a fearless imagination. She writes lyrics that are like dreams. And she puts the heart into all things. She’s my true love. There’s no one I trust more with music, or life. And she’s got great rhythm, and finds melodies that are so intriguing and strange. Most of the significant changes I went through musically and as a person began when we met. She’s the person by which I measure all others. She’s who you want with you in a foxhole.

Det finnes nesten ingen bilder av Kathleen. Det er helt greit, det gjør det ekstra spennende – å vite at Tom og Kathleen har skrevet så å si hver eneste sang siden Swordfishtrombones sammen, men holder alt hemmelig for resten av verden. Fin tanke.
