‘I Like Beautiful Melodies Telling’ — Tom Waits Quote Tee | RQuéV Typographic Statement Tee — Classic Tee

“I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.” Tom Waits told this to Terry Gross on Fresh Air around his 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction — as clean a summary of his songbook as exists, all those gorgeous tunes housing murderers, drunks, and the drowned. It names an old trick of his: beauty is how the terrible gets in the door.
