'Tear in your hand' is one of the finest songs that I have ever heard. I bet it's relatively underrated from the album because it's not quite as raw or fraught sounding as some other songs on there. The hurt of the lyrics contrasted with the sweetness of the tune. 'I don't believe you're leaving cos me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream' is a brilliant line.
Tori is one of the few REAL artists left on this earth today. She makes me believe that this cruel, cold world can be also magical and beautiful. She brings happiness and hope. Tori, you are out Angel. We love you.
Profoundly one of the best song writers and performers next to Joni Mitchell. I love Tori! I can't make it through this album, Little Earthquakes without crying. Amazing! Glad you guys enjoy it!!!!
I love her too. She's unique. I don't think there is nothing wrong about listening this kind of music. I don't think we are made of stone. To be in touch with your feelings is part of been human. hello!
She is such a Goddess!! It leaves me speechless at this moment in my life. "Caught a ride with the moon I know I know you well Well, better than I used to Haze all clouded up my mind In the daze of the why it couldve ever been So you say and I say you know youre full of wish And your baby baby baby babies I tell you theres peices of me youve never seen Maybe shes just pieces of me youve never seen, well All the world is All I am The black of the blackest ocean And that tear in your hand"
god its so nice to see that there actually is intelectual music in the usa..its easy to forget with all these pop music and hip hop and commercial rock bands...its a miracle that a true artist can be famous in this day and age
Tori is just amazing. From 1992 - 2009 she has made 11 fabulous albums. Just imagine where she'll take us in the new decade. The Light Princess here we come!
She is A BAD ASSED CHICK SINGER. IVE ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE TORI FAN MY ABSOLUTE. FAVE SINGER 🍀🌸🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹👑🌠🌠🌠😘😘😍😍🌺🌺🌲⭐⭐🌠🌛🌈🌈💝🎆🎇🎊🎉🔆😇😇😎😸🔥🔥👄👄👄👄✨🌟💥💫💢✌👊👍👍👏👏👏💅👠👠👠💄💄👑👑❤💚💙💛💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💘💘💞💖💕💓👣
Hands down the best Tori song ever. I've thought that since my days in middle school listening to it over and over on a tape deck. It took me 15 years to truly know how it feels to be a tear in someone's hand. Take it back. It is the black of the blackest ocean.
this song is so fucking important to me. "all the world is / all i am / the black of the blackest ocean..." i am vast. i contain multitudes. i am so much more than sorrow, so much more than self-doubt, so much more than the feelings she never returned. i am going to be okay.
I have to say, I have not been a fan of Tori Amos for the last 15 years - the last year or so, it finally dawned on me how much talent she has. She is fucking amazing.
love it! love it! love it! she's so amzaing! she'll take u into another world, strip u off ur excesses and just be who u are! so freakin' wonderful! love her music!
She makes me feel stupid for never learning the piano.. Stunning artist, and a whole lot of heart in that music. I wish I had gotten more into her music earlier. She's wonderful. :)
This album was a life saver for me in my early 20's.I couldn't stop playing it over and over.Must get it on CD now! Tori is so tallented and unusual and she don't give a damn about it.Love her.
Have to agree with the poster befor me. i love all music from thrash metal to classical, and whenever i want to relax and unwind in an evening, its not something like Canibal Corpse i put on, i would say 8 out of 10 times its Tori Amos. She is amazingly talented and has such an unmistakable voice to match what she plays. Real Men listen to Tori and happily tell thier friends they would rather put her CD on than something 'manly' and heavy at the end of the day!
One thing I love about this video is how into it the audience members are. Beautiful to see the affect she has on others, and to know that I'm not the only one.
@samimiabjeez She helped me get through eight of the toughest,darkest months of my life. Goin through a nasty divorice and he would allow me ZERO contact with our five and ten yr. old daughters.. It was just a way to hurt me,and boy did it,but that is over now thank You my angels teachers and guides Tori for sure included.We actually have daughters the same age and she suffered so much before she had her little girl.Anyway she brings me strength every day when I think of her songs and her life..
This is my favorite tori song from Little Earthquakes ~ so powerful ~ has anyone here had a breakup so devastating to your soul that it sent you to - "the BLACK of the BLACKEST OCEANS" xo
monimarz: Tori still writes FABULOUS songs like this one. She's grown now. She's become a wife, a mother...you'd be amazed at how suddenly the things in your heart TO write change with all of that. The only way we could still have "the same" Tori is if she never grew and changed as a human being and what a travesty that would be. I love THIS Tori AND that Tori...they are BOTH....Tori. The fullness of her entire life is represented, and that...is a gift to US.
Maybe she just pieces of me you've never seen oh man I listened to this during a breakup It still makes me remember that time . what a great cry song . I wish my boyfriend listened to her .Girls love that Stuff
Tori is hot....I love that woman, she sings this song flawlessly and adds different keys to make it fresh....I love her performances! She is so beautiful!!!
I have seen Tori seven times and can say i'm sure this is not a playback. Listen to the cd then listen to this. The pace is different, the way she sings it is different. She has the most powerful voice I have ever heard live, and i'm a 34 y.o. male metalhead who came across her by accident. I will follow Tori anywhere. Here's looking forward to concert #8.
The story in this song becomes clear once you can visualize what it is like to have your tear in someone's hand. But if it wasn't for the fantastic piano pushing and grinding/soaring relentlessly or the Amos vocal's here I don't think I would like this tune as much as...I do.
It's not that it was inspired BY him, but by many things Tori was going through at the time with her boyfriend, but what she did do is in the song she decided to include a reference to him, just because Neil Gaiman had become a good friend of hers at that time, and also because his work started to inspire her, as well as Tori's image started to inspire Gaiman for some characters.
Oh shit! I wasn't ready to hear this just now. One of my favs that I had to stop listening to because it upset me too much. Oops! Thanks for sharing this incredible version.
I agree with Gallion. You don't have to be gay to listen to Tori, it just shows a man who is sensitive, open minded, and who cares enough to see the female perspective on life!! You go Gallion!! :)
I'm a guy and when I first heard this song I couldn't stop listening to it for a while.. fuck all the macho bullshit, a good song is a good song. And anyone who has listened to Tori knows she is a good singer/songwriter and she's hot as hell also
She's becoming mans and woman's living hopes, fears, dreams, future, by holding the timeless piano in time, not outside of time... Man can never escape the fact that he came from Woman... Revere.
It's a reference to Neil Gaiman, who wrote the comic series 'Sandman' across the mid-90's. The line 'hanging out with the dream king' is pertains to Morpheus, the lead character of the series and one of the Endless, a group of six immortals responsible for different realms of human experience - Morpheus' being the one of dreams. It was alledged that the character of Death, another one of the Endless, was based on Tori herself, but that was denied by all involved. Hope this is of help!
This is my all time favorite Tori song. Makes my heart melt
Me too!!

She is amazing. She touches a deeper place in my heart always. I admire the way she turns emotions into lyrics and music so easily.

Bursting out in tears.....such a great artist.....incredible......
She is such a Goddess!! It leaves me speechless at this moment in my life.
"Caught a ride with the moon
I know I know you well
Well, better than I used to
Haze all clouded up my mind
In the daze of the why it couldve ever been
So you say and I say you know youre full of wish
And your baby baby baby babies
I tell you theres peices of me youve never seen
Maybe shes just pieces of me youve never seen, well
All the world is
All I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And that tear in your hand"
god its so nice to see that there actually is intelectual music in the usa..its easy to forget with all these pop music and hip hop and commercial rock bands...its a miracle that a true artist can be famous in this day and age
Tori is a goddess who has decided to grace us with her presence in these troubled times

Tori rules. Her music is incredibly beautiful. She is one of favorite female singer/songwriters.
tears in my eyes...beautiful, one of my favs. She doesn't write like this anymore...I miss this Tori.
She knows the feelings of hurt and expresses in a unique fashion love it
This song transport me to another world.
Such an angel. I love when she gives that smile.
"i don't believe your leaving cuz me & Charles Manson like the same ice cream... "who comes up w/ lyrics like that? Tori Effing Amos!

One of Tori's best songs xx
In the history of human languages the words have never existed to express how much I love this song.
Ahhh I love her so much.
One thing I love about this video is how into it the audience members are. Beautiful to see the affect she has on others, and to know that I'm not the only one.
You know this feeling when the world can't get any more beautiful... ?
I love this song, has gotten me thru some tough times!

She is beautiful, she's got nice eyes, it's all dream like and invokes feeling, good music.
this is some kind of magic
Now it's a tear in my eye. Thanks Tori, that was freaking amazing.
This performance is emotionally exhausting. That's how powerful I find it.

Neil says hi by the way....

'Neil said hi by the way'. Breaks your heart.
"All the water in the ocean will never turn the swan's black legs to white"
tori was amazing in this song, so in love, so passionate..
She's a goddess, I love her!!!
I've yet to hear a Tori song that wasn't special, but this is definitely one of her standouts. The entire album is standout! :)
One of my favourite Tori Amos Tracks
beautiful my fav tori song and love this version reduces me to tears thanks
It's a reference to Neil Gaiman, who wrote the comic series 'Sandman' across the mid-90's. The line 'hanging out with the dream king' is pertains to Morpheus, the lead character of the series and one of the Endless, a group of six immortals responsible for different realms of human experience - Morpheus' being the one of dreams. It was alledged that the character of Death, another one of the Endless, was based on Tori herself, but that was denied by all involved.
Hope this is of help!
I think what ever she is having is working for her, she looks great for her age.
Thanks!!!!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Tori is lucky to know Neil too - he's a great talent. He's always seemed like a really sweet man too.
