maybe they can grind up the lost dreams and hopes of all the less successful muscians and turn it into a slurry that they can sell to promote her videos?
I lived past the age of 21 partially because of this woman’s music. It made me feel like I wanted to live one song longer. Then another. Then another. Thank you Tori. I’m an RN now and you’ve helped me live long enough to help other people live on. Sometimes one hour at a time.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, performed by one of the most beautiful women ever. Absolutely stunning, moving, haunting, emotional, beautiful, mesmerizing-- and brilliant. Thank you, Tori. We all love you.
Truly a very precise description of this immensely beautiful and enchanting song and not to mention this stunning, devine and absolutely unique woman behind it's creation!!! Thanks!!!
Took my Daughter when she was 18 to see Tori. It was 1992 at the Carefree Theatre in West Palm Beach. This is what she heard. One of the most beautiful performances ever. Not the same venue but same concert series and same result. I’m 71 years old now and remember it like it was yesterday.
Will Elli Can’t express in words how amazing your experience was. I have tears in my ears. I regret I didn’t get to see her but I was young when she was In her prime. Glad you did.
My first concert of hers I attended was in 98 in a huge stadium. She played this song and you could hear a pin drop (well besides the music). She completely mesmerized thousands
I have watched this hundreds of times over many years. It has brought me to tears more times than I'd care to admit. This performance is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Nothing has ever come close to this for me.
She's the version of musical perfection nobody noticed enough - So much energy and talent, so beautiful. She's amazing. She's on my playlist daily - every word, movement, actual involvement - people blink and simply don't recognize.
The heart, the hurt, the passion, is written all over this beautiful woman's face with every word she sings. It still brings me to tears after so many years. A staggering song that wishes you could just repeatedly keep hitting the like button.
@@beowulf6774 It is surreal. Near the end she hit a certain note with the most exquisitely heartbreaking phrasing, after so many minutes of this sublime stuff, and I burst uncontrollably into tears and it took me some time to stop. Now I'm sitting here stunned, contemplating my own reaction. Music brings me to tears fairly frequently, but never like this.
@@radikai yes. Some music you just can’t listen to at random-you need to set it aside and give it a special time and place. Surreal like dream communicating directly to your heart
In my eyes and heart as well, I love Tori. At each show, I was able to escape for a few hours forgetting the pain I call my life. When I arrive at this beautiful destination, the performer has delivered me to total serenity for a fleeting moment. . . Tori always delivers. . .
It's amazing how a song can take on a different meaning, the older I get. I'm 43 and have been a fan since my early teens. I have two amazing children and I just played this song for them while making a valentine box for school ... And I just lost it and balled. Her lyrics and metaphors are so powerful. They continue to be an influence and inspiration for the way I think about things and view life. Truly an artist that reaches the soul like very few can.
I totally agree with you. This was my gf’s favorite record when it came out. I think it was because she too was a redhead and had a complicated relationship with her dad. She loved this song. We used to sing “when you gonna love you as much as I do” and laugh. We’d look at each other when Tori sang “never change” and wonder what was to be. She went missing later that summer. That fall her dad called me when they found her body to tell me she was pregnant at the time she was murdered. I’ve listened to this song so many times, and as the decades pass I hear new things. But some days I feel like it’s never changed.
The first time I heard this was on a cold Winter day in my car. I pulled over to listen, mesmerized, on an icy road under falling snow, living in a town I hated but couldn't leave. I didn't catch who it was on the radio. It was like the time I saw the most beautiful woman in the world on the Star Ferry crossing from Hong Kong to Kowloon, simply brush the hair out of her eyes, and I saw novels. I listened to the same station hoping to catch the song again and find out who it was. Some time later, I lay in bed late one night and the song came on the radio. I was transfixed when the phone rang. A very rare event in my tiny basement apartment. I didn't jump out of bed to answer it. I had to hear this song again, see the beauty in Hong Kong again, and learn who was singing. The phone rang and rang and then stopped. The next day my mother called me. She said, "Your grandmother died yesterday. I tried to call you."
This song takes me back to being a teenager and walking my dog Harry every day. I’d have headphones on playing artists like Tori Amos and he and I were so free together. So young; we could walk effortlessly forever. I can still see him as I call him back onto his lead. Running back to me joyfully. It’s powerful to remember my lovely dog, my close friend, through this song. I love you Harry. Thank you for walking with me all those nights.
I am fifty and I am, most importantly, a father: my children are my heroes: my son was borne at 26 weeks and survived procedures that would have put me in the ground; my beautiful daughter came out at 12 and has endured treatment that would have put me in a mental institution. When I hear things song I feel good and full of love. Thanks
今から30年ほど前に、僕のラジオ番組でこの曲をオンエアした。その時の同録が残っており、30年以上たった僕の誕生日に、その番組を録音したカセットテープからの音源を奇跡的に聞いた。そして感動が蘇った。こんなにキレイな曲があるだろうか。数十年ぶりの出会いに感謝している。 About 30 years ago, I aired this song on my radio program. I still have the recording from that time, and on my birthday, more than 30 years later, I miraculously heard the sound from the cassette tape I had recorded of the program. And the emotion came back to me. Is there such a beautiful song? I am grateful for this encounter after decades of absence.
Hi Tori, don't know if you will remember me but I was a regular at your piano at the Marbury House's Lion's Gate Taverne, one night during your break you asked me to walk you to the 4 Seasons snack bar, that was when you told me about your upcoming plans to record music. Hated seeing you go, it took until mid 2000's till I figured out you became Tori Amos, I knew you as Ellen. You were amazing then, late 80's as you are now. Special talent.
@@barrygoldkind99 Have you got a special talent for publicising the real names of singers before they were famous. ? No wonder she wanted to forget you .
My dad died when I was sixteen, I'm 53 now and there's not a day goes by I don't think about him.I would give everything I have to spend even one day with him and tell him the things I should have when he was alive. Miss you dad.
I haven't been able to listen to this song since 1995... It leaves a dad sized hole in my heart. This was the first time I have listen to it, at least since the 1990's, I deliberately skip over it on the CD. And yeah, same affect all these years later, but at least I got to hear it again.
I met Tori backstage on the Little Earthquake Tour in 1992 at the Bottom Line in NYC. She took my hand and placed her other hand on top of mine and I remember it like it was yesterday. So spiritual. She sang Smells like teen spirit as an encore then Mother.
I grew up listening to her. Both my mother and my father are huge fans. Being young and stupid I didn't really appreciate how utterly exquisite her music is. I do now. and fortunately my Daughter who has a much better ear for music than I did at her age absolutely adores her.
Spent a week in the hospital with my dad recently, just after being introduced to this song for the first time. Had it on a loop in my head, and it made me treasure the time we had together so much. 💜
My Daddy would know when I was struggling. He would walk in and turn this song on repeat. Dad, it's been 6 years. I know your energy rushes to me everytime I listen. I love me like you do now!!!
This is the most underrated Song in Music History. Heard it 2024 for the first time. Took my breath away when I heard it for the first time as a background in radio. Turned louder and felt in love.
What a beautiful intimate performance - just breathtaking. Also, Tori must be a studio engineers dream, you can simply record her and press directly onto record - so flawless.
Tori is amazing. I've watched many people sing songs over my 50 years. Before she sings, you can see a memory spark for her. She's far away in the past but at the same time, present with her audience. It's a rare thing to see in artists who sing the same songs thousands of times during their career. She is one of a kind.
My father died in May of 2015. Tori was one of his favorite musicians, and he was the one who made me a huge fan of hers in my pre-teen and teen years. When papa wasn't listening to talk radio, he would play one of the CDs that he burned of her live performances and other recordings, and he bought me copies of "Little Earthquakes" and "Under The Pink" for my 13th birthday. Ever since his passing, I make sure to listen to Tori's music on his birthday (Feb. 18) and Father's Day. Rest in peace, dad. Until we meet again someday.
Absolutely crazy! Her range, the imagery, message, melody and power. Tori and Jeff Buckley just hit my absolute soul. The two of them are the most under rated and soul stirring musicians/singers. Wish they could have collaborated
Hold on there Baba Louie! Tori is an international star and has sold millions of records. Jeff was lauded in the music press as the new (and better) Dylan, Springsteen, etc . . . before his short time on earth ended. So how can you call either one of them ‘underrated?’
I was in college when her album and this song came out...such a melancholy song...such a beautiful voice...hearing it today instantly brings me back 30 years ago....crazy how time flies
I lost my grandma unexpectedly at 12, the only woman I'll ever truly know as a mother. Tori came along and helped fill that huge void left by such an amazing woman. Thank you for being an equally amazing woman and inspiration, Tori 💖
"When you gonna make your mind, when you gonna love yourself as much as I do" always breaks my heart. Brilliantly beautiful. I don't believe is angels, but if they exist Tori is one... what a beautiful creature.
Listened to this on my evening walk. I listened to the album version first and then listened to this live performance. It was still playing when I walked up on the porch and I stood and watched my wife feeding our kids through the window. It truly was surreal.
i sang this at karaoke yesterday for the first time, taking inspiration from this live version. i was worried that either (a) i would butcher the pitch, as i sometimes do for songs; or (b) people wouldn't be interested because it's a slow song and they probably wouldn't know it. but i didn't mess it up, and the bar was transfixed!! my boyfriend heard someone say, "i don't know this song, but i like it". such an incredible song. 🤍
People start sharing our Girl again. This world is so undone at present... Everyone needs more Tori in their life. What a performance. I feel every emotion all at once 🙏💗 Jane 🇦🇺
Stunning. The lyrics. Her voice. Her prowess on the piano. I just found this video. It’s a masterpiece. She’s beautiful inside and out. The emotion that she shows while singing this song is obvious. She wrote this about her dad which just gives it even more meaning to her and us listening to it. I will be listening to this forever.
How anybody can be in that audience and not lose their ever-loving minds when she starts this song is beyond my ability to understand. One of the most beautiful songs ever created in the history of recorded music. Chills. EVERY. Single. TIME!
I come back to this song and performance from time to time and have for years and will continue to. She is gripping and dripping with talent. Should have 550 million views if not a billion. First heard this about 10 years ago and come back to it annually. Cannot get through Winter without another listen.
I have watching this a zillion times. The song is so heart-wrenching for me, because I do NOT have this relationship with my father. IMHO It is one of the most beautiful performances....even . I consider myself blessed to have seen you in the late '80s at the State Theater in Kalamazoo.
So so lovely. 28 or 29, but she looks even younger. This is so pure, and her signature way of gazing out into the audience and her magical presence is already there.
The emotional power of this song gets me man. We all hear about masterpieces and such as we get older and I think we all will eventually find that one personal "Masterpiece" that is hard to not revisit. Tori is very underrated and In my opinion on a Mozart level of mastery in her music. Her music is amazing.
My mom just passed away, I just played this song and I couldn't help felling melancholy, is incredible how there are wonderful, amazing, talented and beautiful women in this world, just like Tori and my MA
Thank you Tori for enriching and inspiring me throughout the years. Your genuine songs and compositions have followed me since my teeanage years and they still grow in my mind and they have been probably the best therapy for my mental pain and suffering ever! I have in deed been skating around the truth who I am and I realize now more than ever that the ice is getting thin. This particular performance in the video is really representative of how authentic and unique you are as one of the worlds greatest performers. Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again! You are truly my anchor and I can always rely on your music! I'm my mother, I'm my son and both of them shall walk with me towards the rising of the Sun and your music will accompany us in our perfect triangle of imperfection and remind us of life and renew our spirit and the love of one another! Thank you!
I was here at this magical unforgettable concert, and she was absolutely right, things will change...absolutely everything has changed, and almost nothing for the better. The word change synonymous with complete degradation. Her point being stay strong in your heart and soul as everything around you tears into pieces.
My mom always referred to my first girlfriends as Terri (Garr) and Tori. Can't deny it. The plosive control in this performance is so dangerous, fierce yet plaintive. Thanks Tori, just needed to listen to this tonight. No longer a dorky 15 year old but now I get the advantage of appreciating the performance with a longer life's perspective ... but also enjoy the memories of a perspective a dorky 15 year old had way back when. Crushing, gorgeous.
De France. Je tiens a remercier et a féliciter le ou les caméramens qui ont eut la judicieuse idée de filmer Tori avec des gros plan sur son visage avec des fondus enchaînés qui nous prouvent que la musique s'écoute mais aussi qu'elle se regarde. Tori est FANTASTIQUE par son expressivité, elle a le talent extraordinaire d'une pantomime qui nous traduit ses sentiments par les expressions de son visage tout en nous racontant une belle histoire par son chant pour nous emporter avec son jeu de piano dans les nymphes de son imaginaire, le tout dans une perfection d'exécution proche de l'irréel . Il n'est pas étonnant que Tori, ai été considérée comme une Véritable Légende dès le début de sa carrière. Des millions de MERCIS à Tori pour nous faire découvrir ce qu'est L' ART !!!!!!!!
AGNES OBEL : more beautiful and her music is even more elaborate, as it's closer to classical music. th-cam.com/video/j1wgaFJ0750/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
My relation with both my parents was one of nothing at all (accident). This song brings tears to my hart. Not of the feeling of missing out on something, but pure of the beauty of this song. Thank you Tori to connected to something I thought that wasn't there. Hug.
I live your pain my good friend, estranged from both parents, they died and I didn't even know until years after, this song gives me something, I can't explain it.
I played (not sang lol) this piece as a young man when I wasn't learning Chopin, Mozart etc. I think it gave me a different appreciation for music. Tori is such a talent and now as a father of a super intelligent and amazing and kind daughter, I can't imagine the emotions Tori's dad would feel hearing this.
This video should have 40million + views imo...such a great live version of this amazing song.
Only special people have the ability to appreciate this masterpiece. I feel sorry for everyone else.
It absolutely should. 40 million. That's it's quality.
maybe they can grind up the lost dreams and hopes of all the less successful muscians and turn it into a slurry that they can sell to promote her videos?

Breaks my heart and reminds me of my loving father who lived to 83. I miss him so much.
I just lost my Dad 3 weeks ago. This song has always been with me but couldn't be more relevant now! 😪
Hope you are doing well.
Hope you’re doing okay, chief

The piano work in this performance is otherworldly.
How about Fiona apple’s piano work? That’s otherworldly!
What has Fiona to do with this? She’s great though.
Never has the face of a girl singing been so beautiful.
Truly 💯
shut it
This is how you make a room go completely silent with awe. You write and perform a song like this.
My first concert of hers I attended was in 98 in a huge stadium. She played this song and you could hear a pin drop (well besides the music). She completely mesmerized thousands
I have watched this hundreds of times over many years. It has brought me to tears more times than I'd care to admit.

This is staggeringly good: the songwriting; the technical ability on piano; that voice.
Best, bestie....love this....soon as I heard it from 90's. Sublime. Vocals ate amazing
Yes, yes, yes!!!
That look on her face when she sings "Never change" is hauntingly beautiful in so many ways....
I like her slightly crooked smile after when she "mmmmmmmm"
At this show, her parents were in the audience, she was singing to them, looking at them, when she was singing, "never change".

Tomorrow I'm going to ask my son when will he make up his mind and love himself as much as I do. I just got this Tori
This is up there with the very best live performances of all time.
Agree. How wonderful to have been at one of these shows in that era. I never knew until 20 years later who I missed.

Beautiful comment to read. As someone who wants to have kids in the near future this makes me smile.
I am 70 for my generation it was Joni Mitchell. This lady sings from the heart. Unconditional love between a girl and her father.

Tori Amos is the wholest vibe.

Gennaro, “born”, not borne, which means carried.
I was born in 1963. I think if I had a time machine and could pick any live performance to see, it would be this one. Amazing.

Listen to her song Marianne, it was recorded while it was written! More or less by chance.
Tori is amazing. I've watched many people sing songs over my 50 years. Before she sings, you can see a memory spark for her. She's far away in the past but at the same time, present with her audience. It's a rare thing to see in artists who sing the same songs thousands of times during their career. She is one of a kind.
My father died in May of 2015. Tori was one of his favorite musicians, and he was the one who made me a huge fan of hers in my pre-teen and teen years. When papa wasn't listening to talk radio, he would play one of the CDs that he burned of her live performances and other recordings, and he bought me copies of "Little Earthquakes" and "Under The Pink" for my 13th birthday. Ever since his passing, I make sure to listen to Tori's music on his birthday (Feb. 18) and Father's Day.
Rest in peace, dad. Until we meet again someday.
This is astonishing. I am a pianist and this is genius.
These songs hit even harder now at 51.Loved her,used to listen to her all the time at age 17.Understimated singer songwriter and performer❤
Absolutely crazy! Her range, the imagery, message, melody and power. Tori and Jeff Buckley just hit my absolute soul. The two of them are the most under rated and soul stirring musicians/singers. Wish they could have collaborated
She covers Hallalujah and also some Leonard Cohen (who wrote Hallelujah) Hope this makes your day!
Hold on there Baba Louie! Tori is an international star and has sold millions of records.
Jeff was lauded in the music press as the new (and better) Dylan, Springsteen, etc . . . before his short time on earth ended.
So how can you call either one of them ‘underrated?’
@@emmettmckenna4565 I think people just don't know how to use the word underrated lol
I wish they could have collaborated too! What a dream their songs would have been 🥲🥰
I was in college when her album and this song came out...such a melancholy song...such a beautiful voice...hearing it today instantly brings me back 30 years ago....crazy how time flies
Her voice tho
I lost my grandma unexpectedly at 12, the only woman I'll ever truly know as a mother. Tori came along and helped fill that huge void left by such an amazing woman. Thank you for being an equally amazing woman and inspiration, Tori 💖
"When you gonna make your mind, when you gonna love yourself as much as I do" always breaks my heart. Brilliantly beautiful. I don't believe is angels, but if they exist Tori is one... what a beautiful creature.
There is a special connection between a father and a daughter. This song seems to sum it up well.
Listened to this on my evening walk. I listened to the album version first and then listened to this live performance. It was still playing when I walked up on the porch and I stood and watched my wife feeding our kids through the window. It truly was surreal.
i sang this at karaoke yesterday for the first time, taking inspiration from this live version. i was worried that either (a) i would butcher the pitch, as i sometimes do for songs; or (b) people wouldn't be interested because it's a slow song and they probably wouldn't know it. but i didn't mess it up, and the bar was transfixed!! my boyfriend heard someone say, "i don't know this song, but i like it". such an incredible song. 🤍
People start sharing our Girl again. This world is so undone at present... Everyone needs more Tori in their life. What a performance. I feel every emotion all at once 🙏💗 Jane 🇦🇺
Thanks for your love and support to my music, I have you all my fans to be most grateful for 🌹♥️
You are so right. The world could do with more Tori
There could never. Never. Never be too much Tori. Never. I know you know.
I don't know how to watch this performance without crying
Stunning. The lyrics. Her voice. Her prowess on the piano. I just found this video. It’s a masterpiece. She’s beautiful inside and out. The emotion that she shows while singing this song is obvious. She wrote this about her dad which just gives it even more meaning to her and us listening to it. I will be listening to this forever.
A month before turning 28...
6 months before Little Earthquakes...
Years before her trusty Bosendorfer...
A young Tori absolutely KILLING IT!!
2021 and I find myself watching this with different eyes than I did in the 90's. So many dreams....
How anybody can be in that audience and not lose their ever-loving minds when she starts this song is beyond my ability to understand. One of the most beautiful songs ever created in the history of recorded music. Chills. EVERY. Single. TIME!
I never heard of her or this song until today. I can't believe what I've found.. I love you Tori ❤
Welcome to the tribe SunRay.
She sings with such powerful emotion, you can feel her affection of endearment and love through the ripples in her voice.
Never fails to make me cry on Christmas day. I miss my Dad.
My favorite video version of this song- makes me wish I could play piano when she plays this-
I come back to this song and performance from time to time and have for years and will continue to. She is gripping and dripping with talent. Should have 550 million views if not a billion. First heard this about 10 years ago and come back to it annually. Cannot get through Winter without another listen.
I have watching this a zillion times. The song is so heart-wrenching for me, because I do NOT have this relationship with my father. IMHO It is one of the most beautiful performances....even . I consider myself blessed to have seen you in the late '80s at the State Theater in Kalamazoo.
So so lovely. 28 or 29, but she looks even younger. This is so pure, and her signature way of gazing out into the audience and her magical presence is already there.
I always think of my Dad when I hear this. ♡♡
The emotional power of this song gets me man. We all hear about masterpieces and such as we get older and I think we all will eventually find that one personal "Masterpiece" that is hard to not revisit. Tori is very underrated and In my opinion on a Mozart level of mastery in her music. Her music is amazing.
So damn beautiful
Im sure this performance changed the life of everyone who was present !!
My mom just passed away, I just played this song and I couldn't help felling melancholy, is incredible how there are wonderful, amazing, talented and beautiful women in this world, just like Tori and my MA
greg yance Sorry about your lost. My mother passed in 13. I know your pain.
So much emotion in this performance!
I’m still listening to this song in 2021 ! This has to be her best song she’s ever done.
Loving her new album ocean to ocean also
Thank you Tori for enriching and inspiring me throughout the years. Your genuine songs and compositions have followed me since my teeanage years and they still grow in my mind and they have been probably the best therapy for my mental pain and suffering ever! I have in deed been skating around the truth who I am and I realize now more than ever that the ice is getting thin. This particular performance in the video is really representative of how authentic and unique you are as one of the worlds greatest performers. Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again! You are truly my anchor and I can always rely on your music! I'm my mother, I'm my son and both of them shall walk with me towards the rising of the Sun and your music will accompany us in our perfect triangle of imperfection and remind us of life and renew our spirit and the love of one another! Thank you!
I was here at this magical unforgettable concert, and she was absolutely right, things will change...absolutely everything has changed, and almost nothing for the better. The word change synonymous with complete degradation. Her point being stay strong in your heart and soul as everything around you tears into pieces.
Tori's songs can evoke every human emotion, and can transport you into another realm of being. She is a musical genius, Love her.
This song is haunting and beautiful. It gives me chills. I don't know if Tori ever sings her songs the same twice. I love it.
She doesn't. Every concert is different. I saw her in concert as a teen.
My mom always referred to my first girlfriends as Terri (Garr) and Tori. Can't deny it. The plosive control in this performance is so dangerous, fierce yet plaintive. Thanks Tori, just needed to listen to this tonight. No longer a dorky 15 year old but now I get the advantage of appreciating the performance with a longer life's perspective ... but also enjoy the memories of a perspective a dorky 15 year old had way back when. Crushing, gorgeous.
De France.
Je tiens a remercier et a féliciter le ou les caméramens qui ont eut la judicieuse idée de filmer Tori avec des gros plan sur son visage avec des fondus enchaînés qui nous prouvent que la musique s'écoute mais aussi qu'elle se regarde.
Tori est FANTASTIQUE par son expressivité, elle a le talent extraordinaire d'une pantomime qui nous traduit ses sentiments par les expressions de son visage tout en nous racontant une belle histoire par son chant pour nous emporter avec son jeu de piano dans les nymphes de son imaginaire, le tout dans une perfection d'exécution proche de l'irréel .
Il n'est pas étonnant que Tori, ai été considérée comme une Véritable Légende dès le début de sa carrière.
Des millions de MERCIS à Tori pour nous faire découvrir ce qu'est L' ART !!!!!!!!
And no matter how many times I've seen or heard this, there's always something new that reveals itself.
Yes ........ Layers of truths and secrets hidden awaiting to be revealed
If I ever get through this song without tearing up…. Reminds me of my dad as well. Such a beautifully written song.
Name someone as beautiful and magnificent as her. I’ll wait.
AGNES OBEL : more beautiful and her music is even more elaborate, as it's closer to classical music. th-cam.com/video/j1wgaFJ0750/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
My relation with both my parents was one of nothing at all (accident). This song brings tears to my hart. Not of the feeling of missing out on something, but pure of the beauty of this song. Thank you Tori to connected to something I thought that wasn't there. Hug.
I live your pain my good friend, estranged from both parents, they died and I didn't even know until years after, this song gives me something, I can't explain it.
He father was a minister and very supportive of her...
I lost my grandad at 12. This song destroys me, but heals me at the same time. I miss him so much 😔
I played (not sang lol) this piece as a young man when I wasn't learning Chopin, Mozart etc. I think it gave me a different appreciation for music. Tori is such a talent and now as a father of a super intelligent and amazing and kind daughter, I can't imagine the emotions Tori's dad would feel hearing this.
Goose bumps even after all these years...fantastic emotional song
