I consider Tori to be a musical shaman. Her music literally heals. I’ve seen her live 5 times and it is truly amazing what she puts out into the world.
I once knew a woman named Sara. She was the kindest, most loving and giving person I ever knew. She was a great singer-songwriter and pianist. She ran an open mic at a place called The Gallery in Chicago. We became fast friends and tho she was very beautiful, I refused to pursue any more than a friendship with her so as not to ruin our friendship. She was my sister. She LOVED Tori, as I did. She made me tapes of her b sides and albums to listen to on cross country trips that I loved to take. This was one of the songs. I was already a fan but I was so swept up by this particular number. She and I started working together on making a Tori demo to send to Tori, and get her approval for doing a tribute album. We joyfully worked on many songs including this one. I loved our project and so did she. Our friendship and partnership only grew. We both drank heavily. She seemed somewhat troubled by the events and relationships in her life but refused to discuss them. All I could do was stand by her and be her brother. Which I did. And she stood by me through my tough times when others fell away. She was still and always my sister. One day a friend called me to tell me I need to go see her. Right now. She was in hospice. I needed to see her right away. The guest list at the sign in sheet was pages and pages long. That's how many friends she had, come to say goodbye. One of them was me. We never finished the record, but I still have the demo. Alcohol took her from us but when I hear this song, she is as close to me as this keyboard. I love you forever Sara!! I'll always remember us playing and singing Tori songs together! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
She will always be my Goddess. I am 51, now. Tori got me through some excruciating times, in my Life. The first concert of hers I attended was at a sleepy bar in Orlando, FL. With Little Earthquakes. I could not get my BF to go (too macho), so I got his best friend, and my "big brother" to go. (trust me, he also had no interest). By the time "we" left Tori's concert, he was mesmerized. He thanked me for bringing, him.
I love this song sooooooooooo much. She played it in Manchester, first time I saw her live. I've seen an audience eating out of a performer's hands before, but this was different; rapture, worship, something like that :-) We hung on every nuance, every word, just awesome!
OMG!I'm so lost of air to breathe after taking that in 5x's in a row.I saw this. I saw her @ this point in her career. The same set up. All that I've ever needed was her, her raw piano & powerful voice, emotion, & story telling!I have followed her every tour to this day. A stage set afire from the talent oozing from every spark her movements created & every exhale her lungs pushed out! I'm not sure where this was. I saw her in Kalamazoo, Michigan about 3 months before "silent all these years" made its first splash on MTV & the world first saw tori. I was so very lucky to have witnessed her @ this point.I was about 30 feet away.I had no idea who she was. My friend worked @ the venue. I went @ the last minute & my life changed forever.Thank you,Tori!!!
Do you have a full recording of this show? I think it's from 1991 (1992 at the latest) when she was still using whatever piano was available at the venue.
This and ''Upside Down'' are my two absolute favourite Tori songs and neither are on an album ! Just shows the depth of her body of work - mind blowing - and she is the ultimate performer in her stage presence which is entirely open, honest, ego free and a true gift to her fans. Oh, I almost forgot, she is quite easy on the eye.
Very honest comment. Her lyrics are sooo beautiful and honest. She feels every lyric that leaves her mouth with a trancelike notion---and she leads us in. THANK YOU Tori for making us feel the same spiritual feeling... It exists in your fans heads too ;)
"Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left you there" ..................... it's beautiful in such a sad way ................ have you ever been someone's horizon ? Also could this song work on a friendship level --- have you ever felt used by a friend -- like they only turn to you ~ when they need something ~ ♥
When an artist can produce a song such as this as a B-Side ~ it sends chills down my spine ~~~ this song and cooling are 2 of my favorite b-sides ~ they put to shame songs that other women singers release on their actual albums. That alone puts tori in a class of her own ~~ I can listen to this song forever *~~* magical ~*
her voice is like the most precious diamond out there!! pure raw talent !! the way she sing every song of her as if shes telling us a story.. i believe every word that come out of her mouth!! one word - EPIC!!
I agree about the goosebumps! This is one of my all time favorites. I especially love the part toward the end when she sings "...makes it all clear..HEY, DO YOU KNOW..." Brings tears to my eyes everytime
yeah it broke my heart for her when i heard it in 1991 then she whispers out of breath and reluctanly "what,what this is doing to me?" i cried so hard it was healing
i will play this song all day tomorrow... is so soothing... and so true... the scars of the past do come around and are "running around come back... show you the roses that brush off the snow"
1st time hearing this and as usual it is soo good. Tori is a force. A talented wonderful artist that happens to be a beautiful woman. But it is her music that is communicating all the way to my soul.
In my head I found you there, and running around and following me but you don't, oh, oh, dare now-- but I find that I have now more than I ever wanted to so maybe thomas jefferson wasn't born in your backyard, and like you have said maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left you there. you are here in my head and running around and calling me come back I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow and open their petals again and again and you know that apple green ice cream can melt in your hand I can't....so, I held your hand at the fair and even forgot what time it was and even thomas jefferson wasn't born in your backyard... like you have said maybe I'm just a horizon you run to when she has left. you and me, alone on the floor you're counting my feathers as the bells toll you see the bow and the belt and the girl from the South all favorites of mine you know them all well and spring brings fresh little puddles, that make it all clear that make it all clear do you know--hey, do you know?? what this is doing to me? oh, here here here......here in my head.
She's simply incredible. Has from the beginning and hasn't stopped once. The comment that she makes other female performers of today look second rate is so true. They don't even hold the match to light a candle to her to talent.
What I wouldn't give to have my face as Tori's piano bench. Her talent runs so deep and she pours her heart and soul out in every live performance. I am amazed every time I watch/hear her. No one does better covers either. It's truly amazing that you can 'hear' a song dozens of times but not truly HEAR it until her version reaches your ears. The lyrics come jumping out and the song always takes on a new deeper meaning. THANK YOU for posting!
I know exactly what you mean, gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. This one just transports you to somewhere else, somewhere magical. I had a respiratory arrest back in April 2000 and I was technically dead for about two minutes, all I can remember while I was "gone" is this overwhelming feeling of "rightness" and love. This song brings that back to me everytime.
If we could only have more song writers and or prodigys from "three years old" maybe the music today would have the substance to last at least the next decade. Can you imagine a generation or centuries? think about it.
Grace and elegance. How rare it is to find such attributes in these days of 'extreme' everything. I wouldn't call her performances raw. It is much more than pure emotion. She bares her soul. I sometimes think she is trying to talk to God or find out if a greater presence even exists. She can be rather cynical about the subject. Given her experiences, I can't blame her.
I love her. I'm sat here looking at this VHS tape i bought in 1992, little earthquakes. Trying to figure out what to do with it. I see it was never released on DVD! I think i should have this converted, as i contains interview footage, between the tracks. She was so unreasonably beautiful! Burnt my 16 yr old head out. lol

Tori at her best.
Even the so-called "b-sides" were magnificient

This was my first VHS video of Tori and that was the beginning of myself recognizing the greatest female songwriter/pianist of the 29th century.
Do you have a full recording of this show? I think it's from 1991 (1992 at the latest) when she was still using whatever piano was available at the venue.
@@ivymichelle891 I do. Bought it at a Sam goody after a swim meet senior year in HS. Played it almost every day that entire year #obsessed
@@aaronmatthewarnwine8095You think it's possible for you to record this and send it to me? I can't find full recording anywhere :(
@@Fraglity i would have to buy a vhs player then somehoe record it digitally. It may be a good project to have. Let me look into it.
Here. In My Head is one of the purest, most heartbreaking songs one could ever come across. It's my favourite.
A princess in devil's clothes...thankyou madame for so many inspiring words. A true gift to the lost girls in this treacherous century...love you...
Jesus, it has been years since I fell in love with her live performances, and I still find myself coming across more awesome performances.
This and ''Upside Down'' are my two absolute favourite Tori songs and neither are on an album !
Just shows the depth of her body of work - mind blowing - and she is the ultimate performer in her stage presence which is entirely open, honest, ego free and a true gift to her fans.

I am in love with this performance...and the song is simply beautiful. Tori...are you human? I mean, such talent...I'm suspicious:)
Very honest comment. Her lyrics are sooo beautiful and honest. She feels every lyric that leaves her mouth with a trancelike notion---and she leads us in. THANK YOU Tori for making us feel the same spiritual feeling... It exists in your fans heads too ;)

YES!! Best song about obsessive love EVER!
Oh my lover. Pj Harvey.

One of the most amazing charismatic performers I ever had the pleasure of seeing and hearing live!!! Talk about goose bumps.
abnormally remarkable. Tori, you are a true diamond in a world of ordinary rock.
I agree about the goosebumps! This is one of my all time favorites. I especially love the part toward the end when she sings "...makes it all clear..HEY, DO YOU KNOW..." Brings tears to my eyes everytime

This is one of my favorite Tori songs. I absolutely love this performance. :)
God damn it Tori! So perfect -_-
this is music made in heaven!!
Tori has such a perfect voice!!
Tori Amos is amazing..and this song is chilling, yet..beautiful.
i will play this song all day tomorrow... is so soothing... and so true... the scars of the past do come around and are "running around come back... show you the roses that brush off the snow"
Tori is just amazing, never have I heard anyone play and sing so beautiful-
1st time hearing this and as usual it is soo good. Tori is a force. A talented wonderful artist that happens to be a beautiful woman. But it is her music that is communicating all the way to my soul.
He emotion at the end of this song makes me shaky. I can feel how raw the meaning is for her. Wow.
Thanks for uploading this.
In my head
I found you there, and running around and following me
but you don't, oh, oh, dare now--
but I find that I have now more than I ever wanted to
so maybe thomas jefferson wasn't born in your backyard, and like you have said
maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
you there. you are here in my head
and running around and calling me
come back
I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again
and you know that apple green ice cream can melt in your hand
I can't....so, I held your hand at the fair and even forgot what time it was
and even thomas jefferson wasn't born in your backyard...
like you have said
maybe I'm just a horizon you run to when she has left.
you and me, alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers as the bells toll
you see the bow and the belt
and the girl from the South
all favorites of mine
you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles, that make it all clear
that make it all clear
do you know--hey, do you know?? what this is doing to me?
oh, here
here
here......here in my head.
she is simply amazing
i love this song, it's all i've ever been
Stunning. Perfect. She breaks my heart.
She is just great i could just sit and just watch and listen to her in front of a piano all day.
One of my most favorite songs....beautiful magic lady, I love you so!
She's simply incredible. Has from the beginning and hasn't stopped once. The comment that she makes other female performers of today look second rate is so true.
They don't even hold the match to light a candle to her to talent.
I'm 59. Totally new to Tori. How on earth did I miss her genius the first time around ? How ???
How were you introduced to her? I’ve been listening to her since 1994. Her music is unlike any other artist, her musical timing is incredible!
@@airifyai I just looked for an acoustic version of Smells Like Teen Spirit and she came up.
painfully beautiful. I discover new Tori with each version of each song.
What I wouldn't give to have my face as Tori's piano bench. Her talent runs so deep and she pours her heart and soul out in every live performance. I am amazed every time I watch/hear her. No one does better covers either. It's truly amazing that you can 'hear' a song dozens of times but not truly HEAR it until her version reaches your ears.

It's beautiful, she's beautiful, all round awesome song.
comment universally applicable to almost any of Tori's songs :)
hypnotic amazing I love you Tori!
my GODDESS!!!
The intimacy and skill of this performance. I have yet to see someone match her.
Nice, lots in my head, but yeah, shes in another world yo! beautiful!
I'm seeing her in July too, Manchester UK... Excited, it's my first time :)
People are in awe when she sings and plays.I know I still am!
one of her best songs! definitly!
who is this beautifull woman? how heavenly nice is this.
This is one of my favorite songs by her, had no idea it was a live video, very very cool.
Thanks:)
Tori..my mother besides the moon...
My Fav! Love it!
"I don't ever get tired of watching this"
Amazing song....no words to describe it ...
Me too. For some reason, her songs evoke cherished memories and old feelings. It's too much sometimes.
Merci du Canada !
What a beautiful song ! Thank you so much for posting it for us!
By far my favorite Tori song.
Tori is so talented.
tori amos is such a wierdo in the best way possible. so good.
mmmm.. always been one of my faves from her.
Still gives me goosebumps
i cried when i listened to it for a first time, and sometimes i still cry
this is one of songs whitch defines my personality and my life, kinda sad
She reminds me of my friend Maria... so hauntingly beautiful
So simple...so beautiful!!!!
This little Gem on b-side of my cassette of crucify fell in love ❤x
Especially back in her 90's element
If we could only have more song writers and or prodigys from "three years old" maybe the music today would have the substance to last at least the next decade. Can you imagine a generation or centuries? think about it.
love-
This is so beautiful 😍
No one is better. PERIOD

B sides from heaven..

She's soo young in this video.

tori you're my life
Imo, this is the superlative version of this tune. Like a poleaxe to the chest every time.
