TOM WAITS RELEASES VIDEO
FOR “HELL BROKE LUCE”

Tom Waits
After weeks of teasing an announcement on Tuesday August 7, Tom Waits has finally revealed the surprise: a brand new video for the song “Hell Broke Luce” off his latest album Bad As Me. This powerful clip is a perfect example of song and image working together in complete synchronicity. Check it out below, along with a statement from Mr. Waits.

“As most of you guessed, it’s a tour…a tour de force!

“Matt Mahurin has created an apocalyptic war dream to accompany the song HELL BROKE LUCE. Kathleen and I envisioned it as an enlightened drill sergeant yelling the hard truths of war to a brand new batch of recruits. The video grew from the gnawing image of a soldier pulling his home, through a battlefield, at the end of a rope.

“I think you will agree, it’s uplifting and fun.”
