This is my fave of all Tori's songs. First time I heard it I was in a cd store and couldn't stop myself from crying. I'll never forget that. Still has that power over me after like 200 listens or more. Simply beautiful.
Just to clarify the lyrics are "You change like sugar cane" says my northern lad NOT you taste like sugar cane. I feel this is important because it changes the meaning of the song....During harvesting once sugar cane is cut, it starts to lose it's sugar / sweetness.
Nah, there a 2 different Toris. The studio version that is kinda mellow and the live version that brings you to another galaxy. Guess that when you sing your heart out it shows.
Verse at 2:15 has always hooked me on the studio version "You don't show much these days... Gets so f***ing cold... I love the secret places... But I can't go any more"
I'll narrow down as far as my top ten. To pick one favorite? I'll say this, when I first heard it it might have held that spot for a couple weeks. The list changes constantly. But gorgeous? ABSOLUTELY!! Winter is also there.
If I try to narrow it down to a favorite song, I get a far as 2 cds. It's basically whatever song I'm listening to from those 2 cds is my favorite tori song.
Thank you little sister for introducing me to this amazing singer. She has become and will always be my favorite female singer. This is by far my favorite song. I can listen to it over and over again. Her music is simply mesmerizing.
I used to play this song whenever I would get in a fight with my boyfriend and I was feeling melodramatic. I miss the old Ms. Amos style but there will always be this. Thanks Tori.
Possibly the greatest human woman EVER ❤️. If she only knew the near-suicidal rabbit holes she's pulled me out of, and the dark nights she's fought away for fans. Indebted, always.
What a Queen.. What a Beauty of Light; Life & Learning...& most of all ... Growth... ~ This is one of my favorite most enchanting &!heart- breakingly honest of her penned tunes.
This is my favorite song. I dedicate this one for my ex girlfriends that i've met 20 years ago. I met her recently, we are real friends now. Lydia, it is for you, let your heart speaking. Thank you for all. With Friendly love, Johan
I went to see her a few times on this tour. In Minneapolis, I somehow was allowed into the second level of theatre way ahead of the show by an inept usher. I walked in and it was Tori doing a sound check. She was all alone onstage in her street clothes and there was no one else in sight (probably just the soundboard people). I stood and watched her quietly for a while; just kind of mesmerized and not sure what to do. It was such a strange, quiet, (I'd say intimate, but I don't want to seem stalkerish) moment. I would've said something but I didn't want to freak her out because I obviously wasn't supposed to be there. Then, finally one of the security dudes found me and kicked me out. He was so mad, but i didn't care.
Damn Tori! You did it again! Got me grinning from ear to ear in appreciation. I am so mesmerized. How am I supposed to go to bed now? Cause of the 🌧…………zzzzzz
Gotta know when to turn the page... That entire lead-up to the chorus has a beautifully sad descending chord pattern. I wish she still played concerts like these with a full band.
the intro of this live rendition pierces my heart as a spear directly into my inner self...That is what Tori is. Pure and raw energy from the Universe that spans all souls...
I just came back across this after a few months. Love this song. Love that voice. Brings up so many emotions. Got over those. But then looked at the comments and thought Jesus - how many of us can evoke and deliver that kind of emotion and then put up with the criticism that even little comments can bring. Either you are a drunk teenager making a snide comment or maybe you havent found yourself yet or, then again maybe its just me :)
Had a northern lad Well, not exactly had He moved like the sunset God, who painted that? First he loved my accent How his knees could bend I thought we'd be okay Me and my molasses But I feel something is wrong But I feel this cake just isn't done Don't say that you don't And if you could see me now Said, if you could see me now Girls you've got to know When it's time to turn the page When you're only wet Because of the rain Because of 'Cause of the rain 'Cause of You don't show much these days It gets so fucking cold I loved his secret places But I can't go anymore "You change like sugarcane" Says my northern lad I guess you go too far When pianos try to be guitars I feel the West in you But I feel it falling apart too Don't say that you don't And if you could see me now Said, if you could see me now Girls you've got to know When it's time to turn the page When you're only wet Because of the rain When you're only wet Because of the rain
God, I love this song. It goes very near the top of my Favorite Breakup Songs list. Probably in the top 3 or 5. Mmm.. Can't get enough, even when I'm not breaking up.
i don't know... the phrase just "gets"me, you know... there's so much "becoming" in the world and so many forces in the world are trying to fit you in some shape...
One of the greatest composers of all time? Hands down.
tote
Yes! And a criminally underrated one at that!
Daniel GoSilent whoa to the generations that won’t discover this rare gem 💎
Singer ✔️ songwriter ✔️ poet ✔️ pianist ✔️ performer ✔️ beauty ✔️
Goddess of piano 🎹🎹🎹🎹
Never won a Grammy. Got beat by a bunch of hacks everytime. Boo
This is my fave of all Tori's songs. First time I heard it I was in a cd store and couldn't stop myself from crying. I'll never forget that.

absolutely. It's hard to not just stop and listen when this song comes on. And listening to the album from start to finish really is a journey.
Similar here. The song got me from the start and moved me deeply... But I prefer album version.
Just to clarify the lyrics are "You change like sugar cane" says my northern lad NOT you taste like sugar cane. I feel this is important because it changes the meaning of the song....During harvesting once sugar cane is cut, it starts to lose it's sugar / sweetness.
Спасибо
One of the few that sounds as good or better than studio recordings. Simply astounding! Breathless talent!
That was my reaction.
Nah, there a 2 different Toris. The studio version that is kinda mellow and the live version that brings you to another galaxy. Guess that when you sing your heart out it shows.
I was THERE
West palm beach.. was sound check and we were in the parking lot in the rain listening…
Fuck she's amazing.
Verse at 2:15 has always hooked me on the studio version "You don't show much these days... Gets so f***ing cold... I love the secret places... But I can't go any more"
Deep right?
Probably my favorite Tori Amos song. Either this or "Winter".
I'll narrow down as far as my top ten. To pick one favorite? I'll say this, when I first heard it it might have held that spot for a couple weeks. The list changes constantly. But gorgeous? ABSOLUTELY!!
Winter is also there.

Tori's songs can evoke every human emotion, and can transport you into another realm of being. She is a musical genius, Love her.
It's so true - girls you've got to know when it's time to turn the page, when you're only wet because of the rain.
I have no words to describe the awesomeness of this woman!
There are not much people that have that talent on this planet........Thank you...
That last time she says “rain”. Gives me chills
Stopping by for the amazing therapy this song offers. She's simply the best.
Thank you little sister for introducing me to this amazing singer. She has become and will always be my favorite female singer. This is by far my favorite song. I can listen to it over and over again. Her music is simply mesmerizing.

This is one of the best Tori's songs.
Possibly the greatest human woman EVER ❤️. If she only knew the near-suicidal rabbit holes she's pulled me out of, and the dark nights she's fought away for fans. Indebted, always.
Same. She's literally helped me save my own life multiple times. The connection is THERE. she's nothing short of absolute genius.
It’s absolutely incredible…the healing power of music. ❤️🩹🎶💕🦋
This song always makes me cry.
reminds me when i was younger. some lonely sad and beauty moments
She blesses my day, many many days of the week. 24 years & counting!!!
Remember 2004 when I heard this... I was total high and stoned and almost crying bout this beautiful performance. The old days...
i Love this song.. She really turn pianos into guitars and more
One of my favorite Tori songs. She sounds every bit as great live as in studio. Brilliant.
Such a beautiful song from such a beautiful woman...
TORI is moving the planet and the earth.....Thank you......
What more to say,
She´s goddess.
And i love her.
For f.....g. ever.

4:29 Damn. Greatest singer of our time.
I just bawled my eyes out as if hearing it again for the very first time...girls you've got to know...
😭💞
Having a "when your only wet because of the rain" moment. Maybe 3 years is enough time to turn that page.
I hope you have turned that page. I feel like I’m in that season myself these days. Much love to you my friend! ❤️🩹
that's not fair, this sounds better than on the album, have to listen to this then, sounds amazingly powerful
I need to go to sleep, but every time I cut this music I feel something essential is missing! No I Need to listen to this song.
part of my soul was made by yours songs
It's my favortite cool song of Tori. This song make me cry each time i listen it... Thanks godness Tori!
Tori Amos has so many great break up songs... but this is the best one.
Brilliant.
"Don't say that you don't"...bloody brilliant.

omg i would have died!! how did she sound?
One of my favorite songs. ♥️
Tears in my eyes such great music and talent.....Tori you are amazing
Shame that music has become a fake and make money industrie nowadays
"I can't talk too much...see we made a deal, I married him."
This song is about transitioning out of Eric years, and into Mark years.
Damn Tori! You did it again! Got me grinning from ear to ear in appreciation. I am so mesmerized. How am I supposed to go to bed now? Cause of the 🌧…………zzzzzz
She called the Rain from that song right to her concert with this one man. So powerful.. i love this song /concert so much.
I'd heard this song before, but seeing this on the DVD had me and both of my friends in tears.
absolutely the most goosebumping song ever from Tori. Much luv Tori people xx
it nearly makes me cry every time... love you Tori
Great performance, one of my favorites songs on the album, remember as a teenager buying this at the record store...
this is so beautiful... LOVE this song... it makes me shiver and i cry almost every time I hear "you go too far when pianos try to be guitars"...
I agree, she takes music to a different level. Sublime genius.
Gotta know when to turn the page... That entire lead-up to the chorus has a beautifully sad descending chord pattern. I wish she still played concerts like these with a full band.
I was so happy when I got this DVD
This song speaks to me now more than ever. Just lost a Northern Lad. Haven't even known him for 2 months & crying every day. I miss him :(
the intro of this live rendition pierces my heart as a spear directly into my inner self...That is what Tori is. Pure and raw energy from the Universe that spans all souls...
True but music is food for thy soul...to much of this and you can get very sad.
Tori is serving it up in this video !!
I just came back across this after a few months. Love this song. Love that voice. Brings up so many emotions. Got over those. But then looked at the comments and thought Jesus - how many of us can evoke and deliver that kind of emotion and then put up with the criticism that even little comments can bring.
Either you are a drunk teenager making a snide comment or maybe you havent found yourself yet or, then again maybe its just me :)
Man I wish I had seen this tour of Tori. I love her playing on piano, but like the addition of this band very much... great musicians...
Great movie, I just watched it last night. I picked it up at the library. When this song came on tears started streaming down. Love this song.
very well put "comfortably sad" very well said :) long live this full of genius sweet creature Tori Amos!
she puts my mind body and soul at peace everytime i listen to her
Tori is the best LIVE!
Had a northern lad
Well, not exactly had
He moved like the sunset
God, who painted that?
First he loved my accent
How his knees could bend
I thought we'd be okay
Me and my molasses
But I feel something is wrong
But I feel this cake just isn't done
Don't say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said, if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
Because of
'Cause of the rain
'Cause of
You don't show much these days
It gets so fucking cold
I loved his secret places
But I can't go anymore
"You change like sugarcane"
Says my northern lad
I guess you go too far
When pianos try to be guitars
I feel the West in you
But I feel it falling apart too
Don't say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said, if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
I love this song...I specially enjoy Jon´s cool bass playing. He´s really cool!
I think that's amazing.....I'm so happy you've found the one. I love the way you express yourself and allow this music to move you so. Blessed be.
I agree. I had the great good fortune to see her from the front row several years ago. 'Magical' is only the start of how wonderful it was.
"i loved his secret places but i don't go anymore." You know who you are
Get's so fucking cold
Another Tori masterpiece,
Because of the rain ❤️
God, I love this song. It goes very near the top of my Favorite Breakup Songs list. Probably in the top 3 or 5. Mmm.. Can't get enough, even when I'm not breaking up.
My Queen… ethereal and timeless 🌹
nessuno è come lei. Un angelo fra la gente...
best rendition of this masterpiece
Pretty astounding to be a rehearsal!
awesome song, pure poetry !
wow brilliant thanks for the post,when I saw her I had hoped she would play it but alas...
I feel the west in you.
These lyrics. Genius.
Like the sun setting!

Topartist.....tears in my eyes.....Thank you....
I have this DVD...her performance of Pretty Good Year is equally beautiful.
What a song, what a moment!!!!
so beautiful !!!
Omg I wish I could transport to that show right now!
Truly amazing, breathtakingly beautiful 💞
What can I say? Mesmerizing xx
It is... but the lyrics don't make much sense :|
i don't know... the phrase just "gets"me, you know... there's so much "becoming" in the world and so many forces in the world are trying to fit you in some shape...
omg!! shes so amazingly beautiful!!
i lovr this song!!
Love this song! I never paid much attention to songs after Jackie's Strenght on Hotel album, but this hit me last night ...
Wow. Scarlet's Walk is easily my favorite overall album of hers. To me that was her pinnacle.
Choirgirl is my favorite album! So dark and beautiful!
this version of the song gave me chills!
Absolutely heavenly. What a voice.
Pure magic
Absolutely Haunting Magnificent Bliss, Pure Sweetness,
amazing performance...great song!
Puro Talento!!! 😍
Wow Tori, amo esta canción, no entiendo como no tiene tanta fama en la latinoamerica.
Ahhh how this touches my heart
love this song
I just watched Snow Cake and I recognised Tori's voice immediately. This song is just like Snow Cake - absolutely amazing.
i just love her!!
can this song be any more beautiful?
