Tom Waits Lends His Voice to Il Fattore Umano, Highlighting Homelessness in the Rural South

https://Tom Waits doesn’t just write about America’s underbelly — he sings it, speaks it, and now, he narrates it. In the final episode of Il Fattore Umano on RAI, Waits gives voice to the invisible, performing The Fall of Troy and reading from Seeds on Hard Ground. With his unmistakable growl, he tells a raw and deeply human story about homelessness in the rural South, a place where the American dream frays at the edges. When Waits speaks, you listen. And when he sings about forgotten people, it’s impossible to forget them.
