Description:

This song rolled around in my head for many moons. As per usual, Tom Waits has the uncanny abililty to make profound musical poetry. I wanted to put images with this song but had no idea of a concept. Until one morning while I was walking my dog on the beach in Marina Del Rey after a rain storm. All this trash was dumped on the beach from the tide. It felt as if the ocean was sick of all this junk and puked it back up on the shores. i.e. "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today". We've all heard of trash, islands of trash strewn about the ocean. So to see it up close was some sight. Unlike any I'd ever seen. The irony was compelling. A place considered so beautiful was repulsivey "trashed" overnight. I ran and got my camera and just started shooting. It was a synchronized moment for sure, in a Tom Waits sort of way. And the result, well to me, it's obvious.

I think if Tom Waits were to make an official video to this song this would be about what it was. This song is so haunting. Excellent work.

I think it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide by drowning but who has second thoughts, so he blames it on the ocean instead.

It's a nice piece of work, but does the song no justice. Keep on keeping on, though. Best of luck and all that jazz...
