In 1999, my best friend Jymm committed suicide. I ended up taking a road trip alone and recall vividly driving very late at night in the rain listening to this song, singing it loudly at the top of my lungs. It was cathartic. Her music brings me back to a place in time, a memory, a feeling… Thank you for the gift of healing and bringing me peace, Tori.
EDIT: Wow I didn't realize you wrote this ELEVEN YEARS AGO until now. Omg I LOVE the name Anastasia...because of this song!! What an amazing thing to be named after this exquisite tune
this made me well up with emotion. im cryin right now LOL. this has always been my favorite song by her. its almost like she came full circle performing this with this beautiful orchestra. never heard it live with strings before. BRAVO

My absolute favorite song of hers.
She’s incredible. She’s a f’ing gift.
If I ever see this live, with a live orchestra, I'm prepared for my heart to explode and die happy. 🖤
That piano is as massive as this song. Reigniting my love for her music lately. This was always a favorite.
this made me well up with emotion. im cryin right now LOL. this has always been my favorite song by her. its almost like she came full circle performing this with this beautiful orchestra. never heard it live with strings before. BRAVO
Crying too, just saw it, never saw it before with syrings, pure beauty
Same with me, datura. Same thing here. It makes me cry.
I get it. It fills my soul
She looks like a goddess-witch character from a mythological show or movie, and I love it❤.😊
Anastasia is my favorite song.
Discovered Tori back in "93" most talented musician I ever came across. She's like a fine wine, just keeps tasting better.♥️🎶
Ain’t that the truth
When you know the story behind the song, it is even more beautiful!
this song has my heart when strings are involved! I really want to give it a try on cello
Not the biggest Tori Amos fan in the world, but this song is a masterpiece.
❤
Nothing better. Gift from Heaven
Anastasia was brave. And so were many little girls. So goddamn many. And Tori said it out loud with an orchestra.
how can i find the actual story of Anastasia?
Love her music for years since 1992. Love this performance, she looks like a little gelfling from afar but without the ears. So mystical! ❤️
We'll see how brave you are, Yes Anastasia. We'll seeeeeEEEEEEE. Perfection!!!
I will always chase the dragon that is, Yes, Anastasia.
This madness embodies my love for Tori.
Always a joy to watch this beauty. Thanks Tori! Chills every time
Thanks for posting this. Great to hear her hit that note at 6:20. She still got it.
This is a masterpiece
Simply beautiful.
Incredible, incomparable... genius
Amazing, this is becoming such an incredible and indelible piece in my mind.
Her music makes all the hairs on my arms stand on end.
So beautiful
Wow thank you for this! ✨
I know what you want the magpies have come
If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use
Make them go
Make it go
Saw her there in a restaurant
Poppy don't go
I know your mother is a good one
But Poppy don't go
I'll take you home
Show me the things I've been missin'
Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
Show me the ways to get back to the garden
Show me the ways to get around the get around
Show me the ways to button up
Buttons that have forgotten they're buttons
Well we can't have that
Forgetting that
Girls girls what have we done
What have we done to ourselves, yes
Driving on the vine
Over clothes lines
But officer I saw the sign
Thought I'd been through this in 1919
Counting the tears of ten thousand men
And gathered them all
But my feet are slipping
There's something we left on the window sill
There's something we left yes
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia
And all your dollies have friends
Thought she deserved no less than she'd give
Well happy birthday
Her blood's on my hands
It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress
It's funny the things that you find in the rain
The things that you find
In the mall and in the date mines
In the knots still in her hair
On the bus I'm on my way down
On my way down
All the girls seem to be there
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see
We'll see how brave you are
Oh yes, we'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia
Come along now little darlin'
Come along now with me
Come along now little darlin'
We'll see how brave you are
Thank you.
Beautiful
That note !!!
hey! and off she goes, singing her heart out!
That conductor looked like a child next to Tori. I am grateful for the post. Still awesome.
This was in Amsterdam 2010
It's magnificent. Really... I saw her sing this back in 1995 in Denver. She's amazing.
We’ll see how brave you are
We just did.
Please upload more!
Yesss thank you so much
Keys Right 👍

We are taught and tasked to teach

THIS IS IT !!!!!!
That has to be incredibly difficult to perform emotionally. I don't think I'd be able to do it even if I had the skill.
Taught to dress each other and the men
Probably, what she heard playing
