One of the songs I specifically picked for my big brother when he passed. He got me into the awesomeness of Tori when I was barely out of diapers and it’s one of the best things he ever did for me.
I lost my mother ten years ago, and this song reminds me of the feelings I had then and continue to carry now. It does help that my mother was Irish and the images of "The Land of Youth" and the "Mighty Stars", which are cornerstones of Celtic belief are in this song. I play this every 10th of December in memory of her, and more importantly in celebration of her.
I am very happy that Tori Amos had this effect for you. She is so insightful, I recommend listening to so many of her songs. Stoned, so that’s all I got
Seldom do I comment. Please listen. I have noticed Tori since Little Earthquakes. She has consistently written and performed her works to the greatest extent and depth of her talents, which are considerable. This album is no exception. She champions women writers. This album honors all those who have preceded her embrace of the "classical" both living such as Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush or not such as Hildegard von Bingen, Clara Schumann, and Fanny Mendelssohn. Tori should be applauded. Bravo!
I came here because I'm missing my grandmother more than usual today. This song is a great comfort and, like so many other Tori songs, perfectly encapsulates how I'm feeling. Acknowledge the emotion and carry on...
I lost my Dad on May 1. I came here today to listen to the song because I needed some comfort. Tori's music always helps me get through tough times in life.
I am so sad to hear about your Father. As my bestie and I often say to each other, "Sometimes, only Tori will do" . We met Tori once and she said, "I love best friends" and hugged us both. Healer.
Man, I can't believe I commented on this years ago. So much has happened since then but I'm grateful for the love they have given and will always hold in my heart.
This song deeply moves me. I am so completely happy with this entire album. It is truly one of the best pieces of art she has come out with. Thank you Tori Amos for this!
I like that this song shows of Tori's vocals without distraction and the simplicity of the video reminds me that it is so simple to "carry" someone, to take care of someone, to love someone.
My grandmother who has suffered from parkinsons and dementia is in the process tonight of passing into the afterlife right now. I will be playing this song for her at the wake. Thanks Tori for everything you pour into your music. I have literally grown up with you from the beginning. You are by far my favorite artist!!
My grandmother passed December 11th right before Christmas one winter ago. I had the funeral home play this song from me to her and the lyrics even made the back of the program for her. I miss and love you grams and you will never be forgotten by me. I hope you’re walking along the seashore in the Land of Youth with gramps. Happy. 💜
Thank you Tori for creating the soundtrack to my grief over the loss of my mother. When I would drive to the hospital, it was Suede: "Oh... little sister I hope you didn’t feel that way, An oh... little sister I’m glade you came," And now that she is gone I will hear "You will not ever be forgotten by me in the procession of the mighty stars..."
One has to remember that, as an artist, Tori is writing and performing HER current mood and take on the world. She need not cater to the desires of a stagnant fan base, who cannot grow beyond past heights. Show respect, and be thankful she is still around.
My mom just died yesterday, and I just lost it listening to this song. This song is so beautiful, the words and emotions of this song had me crying so hard.My mom was just 58, and I am a 35 year old gay ears with feet. Tori is the Goddess, her music has saved by life more than once, and I hope it can get me through this terrible time.
Brilliant. An inspired inspiration. Tori you will always be carried in my heart, you have lit up the darkness in my life so many times! Some of the things I went through as a woman I would have not made it through without your lyrics to guide me.
Anyone under 40 has no business judging someone for wanting to maintain their looks. Tori is blessed with talent and beauty, and it's her business what she wants to do with them. It'd be a bigger tragedy if she just threw it all away and stopped making music, and looking beautiful. No one who's been in limelight as long as Tori gets there without making enemies of certain fans who think they own them. I really don't think Tori cares if some people are jealous haters, because she's already won.
I was awake late last night , and a little annoyed by the post-midnight air traffic. I watched Tavis Smiley's interview with Ms. Amos on PBS. At the end, she played and sang this song...I forgot all about the noise... I just turned on the TV this morning. The interview was on again-- and I listened again. This is so lovely. The lyrics are beautiful. I have a new favorite song to purchase...: )
This song has helped me cope with the loss of my Father, and then my Grandmother passed shortly after. It's been a hard few years of losses. But I have to believe they're still with me in spirit.
This is my "Mom's" song. I lost her 8 years ago today, and I can't not listen to it on this day. I miss her so much. I cared for her through her cancer, and... she's gone. It's gotten easier, but it still hurts. Love you, Ma.
All these years later you are still missed Jenn. You loved Tori and this was released just after you passed, as if Tori sensed your bright light was extinguished from this world. See you on the other side, my love.
Music has power in what you take from it. You can either listen and appreciate it's simple beauty or internalize it to apply to what you are going through. She is an artist and creates what she hears inside. She has no control of what happens after you hear her music. Don't blame it on the artist, just know that it is how you use it's power. Love it!
Some of you love it; some of you aren't keen at all. But one thing's for sure: this song has got us all talking. This album has the potential to blow our socks off. It could just be the best thing she's done in a decade. All we can do is wait and see.
This song improves with every listen. It's her most stirring song since Toast or Gold Dust. Can't wait for this new album. I think it's great she's finally returned to her classical roots.
I love that this is part of a larger narrative. We're missing this in music, today; music that serves a purpose other than as a distraction or "space filler" for other activities and zoning out. Popular music is now background noise, not so much about sitting down and listening to a story. This makes you zone back in. I'm reminded of The Moody Blues, Tori's earlier work -- music that digs into what it's feels like to be human, not just something to go shopping to.
I am repeating this song and video today!!! Wish I could purchase it now and go for a walk outside. Abnormally Attracted To Sin & Midwinter Graces are for me a new era for Tori's sound. They share something unique, and Night Of Hunters seem to be taking that to another level. Lovely!
I love her so so much. This is such an amazing album. Just started listening to it yesterday. Not that I think she'll see this as I'm just one of so many voices, but Tori, thank you so much. You're music has been so important to me for so long. It's been with me through dark and light. This song is beautiful. It delivers peace through the sorrow.
Lady Amos as I like to refer to her, is classy with an emotional EQ of the scale. There are no other female vocalists like her or writers, she still has mystery, drama, intellect that surpasses many people: vocally spiritual, compositions that are master pieces and plays the piano with grace, beauty and passion...
I have a feeling that this album will probably become her best since her debut Little Earthquakes, because as a songwriter, Tori is bringing us something that she's never done before, classical chamber music! I really enjoyed this song a lot. When she sings it based on the classical melody of the piano, she still feels much like an alternative pianist. It's nice to hear her sing classical song too cuz she's kept her voice in great shape. It's NOT alternative rock, but it's the pure TORI music!
Damn can we get over wether or not she had this done or not and our opinions on it. The woman is a genius, the talent is why we should be listening to her. Just picked up this album on the way home tonight. Loving it so far. Tori rules, the greatest talent to come out of the 90's by far. She is about the only artist alive today that could have pulled this off. Beautiful.
I can definitely see why there are a lot of Tori fans on here complaining about this new sound. I love it though. I've never really been able to get into her music as much as I've wanted to, but I think this new album will prove different.
Once I let go of that desire I was able to to just listen to her music free of expectations or hopes and appreciate the MUSIC, which is what it's really about. She's said time and time again she avoids reading what we and others write about her and her music, so really, who was she really making it for? Our enjoyment is a byproduct and a gift we should be grateful for!
I wish the old school Tori fans who just want her to release variations of Little Earthquakes forever would just shut up. This is more evolved, musically and conceptually, than her early stuff, and it's just plain beautiful.
Very beautiful! Soft and calm and quite a welcomed change! Her versatility of technique, sound and style are truly masterful! I true TRUE musician and artist!
I don't see why all of you guys have to comment on how Tori lives her life. It's her life, not yours, and she gives us beautiful music. Isn't that what is most important? The points of comments are to discuss her music, not her life.
This song is so beautiful i cried because i had to think about my pet cat which died a few weeks ago. It was by my side since I was 7. New Tori song and it touched me that way... I have to go to her Night of Hunters concert in october now for sure!
When I first heard Tori Amos back in the day I just dismissed her as a Kate Bush impersonator,how wrong was I.I am only just really beginning to discover her genius and I love her and all because of a you tube video of crucify which got me hooked,thank goodness!
Just beautiful and pure are the only feelings that come to mind with this work. See the music for what it is and the beauty can not be denied. Peace Tori always~A
I'm very happy with this new album! The last time I was interested in a Tori record was with 'To Venus and Back' from 1999, post millenium I pretty much lost that emotional connection with this lady's music, now it's coming back! Maybe because I'm in my 40's now, but I really like the Classical music arrangements here and the beautiful lyrics. Also Tori's daughter's vocals on 'Job's Coffin' are incredible! We've got another Adele here and she's only 11! Genius runs in this family's gene pool.
Unbelievable some of the ridiculous comments you see across YT. Boring music? What nonsense. PS? Who cares, she's looks simply incredible for 48 years old, simply beautiful. I'm honestly not a massive Amos fan or anything, but for me she's one of the most incredible singers I've ever witnessed.
This song is still on heavy rotation in my life. The new album is outstanding. I actually love every song on it. She has really made one of her best albums, and so late in her career! Amazing Tori! Fearlessness, Star Whisperer, Your Ghost, Battle Of Trees - well.. all of them! =)
Iv had 2 female artists that I loved since the late 80s early 90s, Natalie Merchant and Tori Amos. Now this is the second new video of Tori and her voice is still great and the videos are unique but for sure Natalie Merchant is the truest artist because she has kept real and grounded. Tori your also still a great artist and I thank you for your art over the years but it broke my heart to see you feared aging. I would love to hear a duet with Tori and Natalie, that would complete the circle.
This song captured me from beginning. Here's the Tori I've missed. Sadly her previous album left me cold but this one seems to have more piano on it, which I prefer. Looking forward to her gig in Helsinki.
One of the songs I specifically picked for my big brother when he passed. He got me into the awesomeness of Tori when I was barely out of diapers and it’s one of the best things he ever did for me.

I play this every 10th of December in memory of her, and more importantly in celebration of her.
It's almost time
I am very happy that Tori Amos had this effect for you. She is so insightful, I recommend listening to so many of her songs. Stoned, so that’s all I got
Seldom do I comment. Please listen. I have noticed Tori since Little Earthquakes. She has consistently written and performed her works to the greatest extent and depth of her talents, which are considerable. This album is no exception. She champions women writers. This album honors all those who have preceded her embrace of the "classical" both living such as Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush or not such as Hildegard von Bingen, Clara Schumann, and Fanny Mendelssohn. Tori should be applauded. Bravo!
A true master of her domain, no other singer, song writer composer ever comes close!
Tori Amos is proof that the Divine is not so far away. She is a blessing to all those who can hear, either with ears or with their hearts.
I came here because I'm missing my grandmother more than usual today. This song is a great comfort and, like so many other Tori songs, perfectly encapsulates how I'm feeling. Acknowledge the emotion and carry on...
I lost my Dad on May 1. I came here today to listen to the song because I needed some comfort. Tori's music always helps me get through tough times in life.
I am so sad to hear about your Father. As my bestie and I often say to each other, "Sometimes, only Tori will do" . We met Tori once and she said, "I love best friends" and hugged us both. Healer.
I lost my Dad today and your music has carried me today, especially this song.
Man, I can't believe I commented on this years ago. So much has happened since then but I'm grateful for the love they have given and will always hold in my heart.
Bless you
I lost my Grandmother Yesterday 😪
She was more a Mother.
I'll always carry her... Always ❤
Ten years ago today. This song has helped so much. Thank you, Tori. Rest In Peace, Mom.
Thank you Tori, for giving so much of yourself to meaningful music. You're just incredible. Incredible.
This song deeply moves me. I am so completely happy with this entire album. It is truly one of the best pieces of art she has come out with. Thank you Tori Amos for this!
I like that this song shows of Tori's vocals without distraction and the simplicity of the video reminds me that it is so simple to "carry" someone, to take care of someone, to love someone.

Thanks Tori for everything you pour into your music. I have literally grown up with you from the beginning. You are by far my favorite artist!!
I always think of my sister Donna, who passed away last year, when I hear this song. I will carry her in my heart forever.
This song reminds me of my Mama in Heaven... RIP
Tysm :)
My grandmother passed December 11th right before Christmas one winter ago. I had the funeral home play this song from me to her and the lyrics even made the back of the program for her. I miss and love you grams and you will never be forgotten by me. I hope you’re walking along the seashore in the Land of Youth with gramps. Happy. 💜

An oh... little sister I’m glade you came,"
And now that she is gone I will hear "You will not ever be forgotten by me in the procession of the mighty stars..."
Today is the ten year anniversary of my mom's death. This song is always for her and everyone I've lost.
One has to remember that, as an artist, Tori is writing and performing HER current mood and take on the world. She need not cater to the desires of a stagnant fan base, who cannot grow beyond past heights. Show respect, and be thankful she is still around.

Tori is the Goddess, her music has saved by life more than once, and I hope it can get me through this terrible time.
She is hands down one of the most gifted and prolific songwriters of our time. A true artist. Viva Tori!
Brilliant. An inspired inspiration. Tori you will always be carried in my heart, you have lit up the darkness in my life so many times! Some of the things I went through as a woman I would have not made it through without your lyrics to guide me.

I've been listening to her since I was a teenager. I love her work. I love her style. I love her storytelling.
The most gorgeous, sincere and thought provoking music that she has created in years.... bravo, Tori!!!
This song has helped me cope with the loss of my Father, and then my Grandmother passed shortly after. It's been a hard few years of losses. But I have to believe they're still with me in spirit.
This is my "Mom's" song. I lost her 8 years ago today, and I can't not listen to it on this day. I miss her so much. I cared for her through her cancer, and... she's gone. It's gotten easier, but it still hurts. Love you, Ma.
If you don't like Tori no more, don't listen to her. This song is a masterpiece!!!
All these years later you are still missed Jenn. You loved Tori and this was released just after you passed, as if Tori sensed your bright light was extinguished from this world. See you on the other side, my love.
Dieser Song geht mir immer so verdammt nah und verbindet so viele alte Emotionen. Love this song, Tori. Thank you
I will always cherish my mother and father and those who I have lost dearly to my heart. They mean the absolute world to me and always will.
Music has power in what you take from it. You can either listen and appreciate it's simple beauty or internalize it to apply to what you are going through.

awesome, tori please, come to Brazil for a concert!! love u dear
Night of Hunters is my favorite album of hers since To Venus and Back from the late 90s. Epic yet beautiful.
The variation on Debussy's piece is so touching :(
Lady Amos as I like to refer to her, is classy with an emotional EQ of the scale. There are no other female vocalists like her or writers, she still has mystery, drama, intellect that surpasses many people: vocally spiritual, compositions that are master pieces and plays the piano with grace, beauty and passion...

It's nice to hear her sing classical song too cuz she's kept her voice in great shape. It's NOT alternative rock, but it's the pure TORI music!
Moves me to tears. This song is a gift.
Perfect song to end for the album. The piano is absolutely beautiful. Love Tori, she's not repeating herself in her albums.
Critic is easy; Create is hard.
Long Live Tori.
Damn can we get over wether or not she had this done or not and our opinions on it. The woman is a genius, the talent is why we should be listening to her. Just picked up this album on the way home tonight. Loving it so far. Tori rules, the greatest talent to come out of the 90's by far. She is about the only artist alive today that could have pulled this off. Beautiful.
Tori hasn't looked this happy in years.
Beautiful - the pear shaped ring, the dress, the face, the heart, the Bosendorfer, the words.. all of it ⚘🌹🌷⚘
I can definitely see why there are a lot of Tori fans on here complaining about this new sound. I love it though. I've never really been able to get into her music as much as I've wanted to, but I think this new album will prove different.

So beautiful. That song and you. You become more beautiful the older you become. The lyrics : I will carry, carry you, gave me chills
this entire album is going to be beyond divine
I wish the old school Tori fans who just want her to release variations of Little Earthquakes forever would just shut up. This is more evolved, musically and conceptually, than her early stuff, and it's just plain beautiful.
Good artists change as their lives and careers progress. I've enjoyed following Tori's journey because it is the journey of so many women.
this song always makes me cry. its so beautiful
I think carry is the best song on the album. The lyrics are beautiful and Tori's variation is very well done.
I think this is such a beautiful song. I can't wait for the new album. Love you, Tori.
My mom pass and now this song is a perfect poem for her, thank you😔
Very beautiful! Soft and calm and quite a welcomed change! Her versatility of technique, sound and style are truly masterful! I true TRUE musician and artist!
I don't see why all of you guys have to comment on how Tori lives her life. It's her life, not yours, and she gives us beautiful music. Isn't that what is most important? The points of comments are to discuss her music, not her life.
tori is a once in a lifetime occurrence...cherish her!
This is just beautifil, doesn´t matter anyone espectations about Tori's new record. This is a beautifil song.
This song is so beautiful i cried because i had to think about my pet cat which died a few weeks ago. It was by my side since I was 7. New Tori song and it touched me that way... I have to go to her Night of Hunters concert in october now for sure!

This is one of the best. I just love Tori Amos. I mean it. Seriously.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Thank you for this piece of musical brilliance.
brought tears to my eyes. . . amazing Tori!!!
Can't believe she was 47 when she made thisvideo. She could pass for 30. Amazing. Beautiful song!
When I first heard Tori Amos back in the day I just dismissed her as a Kate Bush impersonator,how wrong was I.I am only just really beginning to discover her genius and I love her and all because of a you tube video of crucify which got me hooked,thank goodness!
Just beautiful and pure are the only feelings that come to mind with this work. See the music for what it is and the beauty can not be denied. Peace Tori always~A
Beautiful. Can't stop pressing play.

Oh.. I simply love this video!!! Well done Tori! Looking forward to hear the albuM!!!
I can only utter a single word about this...
Warm.
Look at the warmth in Tori's face when she's watching her daughter at 2:50.
I'm very happy with this new album! The last time I was interested in a Tori record was with 'To Venus and Back' from 1999, post millenium I pretty much lost that emotional connection with this lady's music, now it's coming back! Maybe because I'm in my 40's now, but I really like the Classical music arrangements here and the beautiful lyrics. Also Tori's daughter's vocals on 'Job's Coffin' are incredible! We've got another Adele here and she's only 11! Genius runs in this family's gene pool.
Sublime.... no more words just music
I LOVE the instrumentation on this song. Getting really excited for this album now!
Unbelievable some of the ridiculous comments you see across YT. Boring music? What nonsense. PS? Who cares, she's looks simply incredible for 48 years old, simply beautiful. I'm honestly not a massive Amos fan or anything, but for me she's one of the most incredible singers I've ever witnessed.
My brother died, and this is getting me through today. Love you, T. 😘
Thank You Tori, you have touched my life!
Peace.
I love Tori Amos. I wish she would make an album with AC/DC. That would RULE!!!!
Who cares if she's gotten plastic surgery or not? It's her face, her choice. The music is what's important... and she nails that every time.
Her voice sounds amazing. I'm loving this song. Can't wait for the album! :)
Talented and intelligent
Very haunting. Sounds like it's about someone who died. Moving and beautiful.
This song is still on heavy rotation in my life. The new album is outstanding. I actually love every song on it. She has really made one of her best albums, and so late in her career! Amazing Tori! Fearlessness, Star Whisperer, Your Ghost, Battle Of Trees - well.. all of them! =)
Iv had 2 female artists that I loved since the late 80s early 90s, Natalie Merchant and Tori Amos. Now this is the second new video of Tori and her voice is still great and the videos are unique but for sure Natalie Merchant is the truest artist because she has kept real and grounded. Tori your also still a great artist and I thank you for your art over the years but it broke my heart to see you feared aging. I would love to hear a duet with Tori and Natalie, that would complete the circle.
Thank you, Tori 💕
I am in love with this song! So excited about this album.
This song captured me from beginning. Here's the Tori I've missed. Sadly her previous album left me cold but this one seems to have more piano on it, which I prefer. Looking forward to her gig in Helsinki.
