I nearly died when she played this in Melbourne, Australia - felt like i'd left the planet for a second......possibly the best feeling i've ever lived through.
I'm a big fan of the studio version too... but when you see this song live... it's just so profound... when she says the lines "I've got a brand new dress babe, does it make you want to try?" Your heart just breaks with her... and then in the chorus it's just compounded ten times over. The studio has an awesome 80's feel but this is one of the best songs I've seen live.
If you don't treat me better Baby I'll just run away Baby I don't know what drives you To play all these silly games C'mon baby I'm much stronger than you know Sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show When will you wake up I want you more than the stars and the sun But I can take only so much Cool on your island Is it cool on your island
I prefer the studio version, it has this 80's feeling, and is more powerful. This song should have a lot of energy. Still I can't say that this version is bad...
Why should it have a lot of energy? It's not supposed to be like Raspberry Swirl... to me this version is exactly the energy the song requires... it's about emotion and feeling... and Tori totally delivers that here... it was actually really moving.
The studio version fits the lyrics better, actually. The song itself is not sorrowful and pitiful, it has a bit of annoyance and angst behind it - even the title, the "Is it cool on your island?" is sarcastic. This is beautifully sung though, apart from the momentarily off-key "Wait..."
We could buy an airplane Build a home in the sand You could tell your secrets I could understand But then by the morning Comes crumblin' down And as your leavin' Wait

Her singing is very expressive, tugs at your heart, lovely.
Tori was in Melbourne 2 weeks ago and this was by far the best song of the night!
Amazing!!!
so beautiful, Tori is a great gift to this messed up world
Anyone else in tears? I like this version very much.

The tone is perfect for this song I think... it shows the passion and the sorrow - so I agree damienxxxpele
There is nothing like Tori except...Vintage Tori !

I love this version too :)
The song is beautiful either way... but live is so pretty :)
What a great rendition and I already loved the (overproduced) original!
She must be from another fu**ing planet to have a voice and talent like this. There's no other explanation.
Tori should revisit several of her Y Kant Tori Read songs.....Heart Attack at 23 especially...
I tori have a Nice Day.
If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
Baby I don't know what drives you
To play all these silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Maybe I'm just used to the studio version. ;)
As I said. I can't say it's bad, but I prefer the album version.

@sydandtaytum Agreed!

We could buy an airplane
Build a home in the sand
You could tell your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin' down
And as your leavin'
Wait
Very hard time understanding her words. . .
The bass drowns out any clarity. . .
Anyone want to post the lyrics?
Here are the lyrics to the song.
🎼💞💞💓🎶🎶💓🎶💞If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
Baby I don't know what drives you
To play all these silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
I gotta brand new dress babe
Could it make you wanna try
I guess I didn't want to notice
The stars gone from your eyes
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
We could buy an airplane
Build a home in the sand
You could tell your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin' down
And as your leavin'
Wait
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool, baby
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Is it cool baby
If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
Cool on your island
If you don't treat me
One day you'll wake up cold
Yeah, then you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
You love me
