If you haven't seen her live, you have to, and get as close to her as possible. Some bands/artists it doesn't matter, but it does with her, especially when she looks at you when she's singing.
And thus divorce the song from all meaning and make it into a piece of pop star trivia. nice ;) did you know that the text is about a mass shooting by a 16 year old school girl?
Twenty plus years of listening to Tori and I still love how this song makes me feel like I am hearing it for the first time. Tough guys can love Tori's music too. But this is also one of my favorite songs ever, not just by Tori. Who hasn't wondered if their lover thinks that there is some other heaven (little "h") somewhere that is worth giving up these kisses?
Our Bullmastiff mix Yolanda "Yolie" Vega passed away last night. It's difficult to cope bit Cooling is a security blanket for me this morning. "And is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses".... Your Daddy's love you very much 'Ol girl....Who's on the bed???
wow. this right here. this sad and heart-melting sadness is why Tori is who she is. Bless you in your beliefs, and I hope you are doing well. much love, bro.
I love this song. I listen to it in cycles. I have a horrible temper that I inherited from my mother's side of the family. But I don't want it so I listen to this song to remind me that I'm not the angry woman that starts shit and makes people upset. I'm cool, like our Tori.
"This video is from a Tori Amos videos site and since the owner wants all people to see this, I decided to put it up here so other Toriphiles and non-Toriphiles would be able to enjoy it too. ^_^" So Brilliant :DD
@0430daniel1976 i appreciate your kind words. a song as profound as this may well mean as much to you as it does to me. i love the ambiguity of her lyrics. the way a song of hers can mean many things to many people. jacky (wife) and i spent countless hours discussing the implications of her lyrics. some of the deepest conversations we ever had, were sparked by tori's music. my youngest child was conceived to scarlett's walk, pretty sure "crazy" did the trick. lotta love made to her music.......
this song was performed at my wife's funeral earlier this year.i lost her at the age of 29. she died with my baby sister in a plane crash. tori's music was a bond she and i shared. we traveled thousands of combined miles to see her in concert. standing in that church holding my two sons, as my oldest sister flawlessly sang, " is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?" well that is a moment in time i will never forget. thank you tori for writing such a powerful song......
I’m so sorry to hear that! Tori’s song Carry and her cover of Over the Rainbow I picked for my grandmother’s funeral. Tori’s music says it all sometimes while still having more to say when you have experienced more life first. 💜🌙🪐🌈
