Cosmo Sheldrake - Diamonds & Gold (Tom Waits cover) 

the lyrics: The broken glass and the rusty nails Where the wild violets grow Say goodbye to the railroad and the mad dogs of summer And everything that I know What some men will do here for diamonds What some men will do here for gold They're wounded, but they just keep on climbin' And sleep by the side of the road There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb Mad as a hatter, you're thin as a dime Go out to the meadow, the hills are a-green Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream Small time Napoleons shattered his knees But he stays in the saddle for Rose And all his disciples, they shave in the gutter And they gather what's left of his clothes What some men will do here for diamonds What some men will do here for gold They're wounded, but they just keep on climbin' And they sleep by the side of the road There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb Mad as a hatter, you're thin as a dime Go out to the meadow, the hills are a-green Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream

"I still can’t get over discovering how to multiply myself on video!" Local nature spirit wowed by modern technology, more at 11

Ahh yes, my favourite duo, Cosmo and Sheldrake

*They’re multiplying*

Behold, as the rare and melodious Cosmocyllius Sheldraccus demonstrates the amazing ability to produce a perfect clone with which to harmonize - likely via zoospores, though the mechanism by which Cosmocyllius does so remains a mycological mystery...

The mouth trumpeting adds such a special touch, I don't know what it is.

It is physically impossible to be sad when Cosmo is posting every week

There is something indescribable about Tom Waits lyrics being sung by this magical fey lad.

I used to be sort of scared of the concept of cloning but if this is what clones do, I don't mind them anymore

He's undergone mitosis.

what mortals hear before being dragged into the faerie realm

Cosmo's one of the very few musical artists whose music is unironically perfect in stereo. It seeps right into the brain and stays there as an emotional memory.

I swear This man makes people like me, autistic people, relax like nothing does I happy stim when i listen to You, Cosmo I love him

I only need two diamonds, four obsidian and a book

The stunning "Cosmo Sheldrake" specimen has reached a new level. He can now multiply and can still sing with the voice of a god. His recent activity is strange, he is updating new content quickly. Something has changed, but we don't know what. We're waiting for more data, but we are afraid that he will escape and hide in the Mystical Forest. We are afraid of the secret he hides. We know the forest people are looking for him, they want their singer to come back. Yesterday we saw three fairies, a snake and a badger standing in front of a security camera. They know what's going on.

I'm waiting for the day when Jack Stauber and Cosmo do a mouth-trumpet collab

We love our boi being more active 🥺

I can never get enough of this forest nymph

Funny you assume we will believe this is a nifty camera trick when of course you have been keeping a colony of cosmos

He doesn’t even alert us.

Its really cool how he somehow found someone that looks/sounds exactly like him

love it love it love it!!!

massive fan of tom waits and cosmo sheldrake, this is a dream come true!!

The mystical man is back

The vibe is so very soothing here

Your music, and especially this song, awakens the parts of me I thought had died forever when I was thirteen. Beautiful and painful!

I could see him doing a cover of Wellerman.

I have no idea why but this literally brought me to tears. Good job once again magical fairy man

Underrated as hell

I love how your brains turn into music.

I'm not familiar with Tom Waits, but I love how this reminds me of Chim Chim Cheree from Mary Poppins

I never knew how much I wanted this until I had it. It reminds me of when I was a kid and I would go to guitar nights at my parent's friend's house. We'd all sit around the campfire, eating tortilla soup and howling up at the sky to the sound of my aunt's melodic strings. I missed it.

Two of them.

I spy one of Flora's ink paintings in the background :)

I could fall asleep to this at a campfire in the spring

WOWWWW

The caption made me smile from ear to ear, this dude is so humble! It’s really endearing and makes me like his music that much more

Cosmo and Tom Waits? A combination that I never would’ve expected but enjoy just as much!

Imma need this on Apple Music asap

Am loving the often uploads!!!

I would listen to this man sing/play literally anything.

I am not at all surprised you're covering Tom waits but I am SO HAPPY. 😭

Heck yes

Beautiful!!!

Voice Kazoo at the end. Best Part, then the Smiles ✨✨✨

Its awesome

Oh my gosh there's 2

its incredibly spooky to see two of you in a dim lit room singing in sync. but i do love spooky-

There's a Mary Poppins sound that this has that is just wonderful!

fantastic as always

I'm loving these Cosmo and the Sheldrakes videos

Just seeing the notification made my day XD havent listened yet but I'm sure it's a beautiful!!!

I gotta try to learn this on my own guitar! I hope I can find tabs. Great cover.

His voice is so soothing

Amazing as always! I'm excited to see that my favorite artist is posting more frequently :)

What's better than a Cosmo Sheldrake? TWO Cosmo Sheldrakes! LOVE IT!!!! now if you can just master the "relating to yourself" aspect...The "unawareness of the other" is palpable. You might have to "make believe" while filming to accomplish this. LOVE IT ANYWAY

this is just so nice, I should be doin homework but this is just so nice to listen to

this is a beautiful song and a beautiful interpretation and I feel inspired and love singing it *_*

Never thought of the now obvious connections between these two artists of whom I'm a fan of both, but it works so well!

Your harmonies never fail to give me shivers, truely beautiful

So beautiful and calming

I want to thank Cosmo for everything. I'm fresh off a very deep personal loss, and I truly needed a bit of this magic.

This is hipnotic my god

I really hope this is on his next album!

Ohhhhhhh man this is so good!!!!!

I am entchanted, gonna listen to this on repeat for the next week now, see y'all on the other side

If he doesnt get popular soon Im going to dissipate

Cosmo, you're so awesome!!!

Every one bow down to the fairy king

You don’t even know how much I love this
