Song by Song is a podcast celebrating the music of Tom Waits, hosted by podcaster-musician Martin Zaltz Austwick and actor-musician Sam Pay. Sam and Martin set themselves the goal of listening to Tom Waits’s back catalogue from beginning to end, and devoting an episode to discussing each track. Song by Song is in no way officially linked to Tom Waits, or endorsed by Tom Waits, or associates. All excerpts are used for criticism purposes - please purchase your own copies of the music at your favourite shop, app, or platform to get the full experience and support musicians' work.

San Diego Serenade, The Heart of Saturday Night, Tom Waits [014]
The search for the Heart of Saturday Night continues as Martin, Anna and Sam discuss the universality (or lack thereof) of the love song in this somewhat simpler track. Is it indulgent or sparse? What is the deeper meaning of space and time? Has Sam ever actually listened to any music? Song by Song is Martin Zaltz Austwick and Sam Pay; two musicians listening to and discussing every single Tom Waits track in chronological order. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: San Diego Serenade, The Heart of Saturday Night, Tom Waits (1974) November Rain, Use Your Illusion I, Guns and Roses (1991) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.
