That is so true. This really really got me. I wasn't able to cry for years really, cause I was holding it back and learned how to control it not to come through and now it finally it catches up with me in the worst way imaginable. I have panic attacks and suffer from anxiety for almost months now and yeah, I think it's the summery of all the emotions I didn't allow myself to feel, all the tears I didn't allow myself to cry.
I think the last time we saw her cry in an interview was maybe for her dad, if not then it was in the early 2000s talking about her miscarriage in the 90s. Completely caught me off guard.
@@pedrorocha9722 I think what she meant was not to tell everyone, but be honest to yourself and not holding it back and just let it happen. You don't have to tell the world, but when we get asked how we're doing, how often do we tell the people ”O I'm fine“ although we're not. Just be honest. To feel not okay ist fine and to talk about it can help a lot. Trust me.
She's still so beautiful. She's like the eccentric aunt we all wish we had. I love the way she says Sam's name when responding to questions, it's very intimate and i bet she does that with everyone. You can tell she has one of those personalities where people fall in love with her everywhere she goes.
she is that way with everyone, yes! i've never met anyone with her presence. when you speak with her, you're the only one she's focused on. what a gift she is!
Although I don't listen to Tori Amos music, I find myself watching a lot of her interviews on RU-vid and from these interviews, I find myself wanting to be more and more creative and I feel like I want to be a better person just by listening to her talk. She's so calm, soothing and real. I love that about her.
Such a beautiful open honest interview- my heart is holding Tori. The grief at losing such an amazing human as Mary is deeply profound. Her process is opening my heart to my own loss so long ago. Her ability to be so open is the most healing thing. Thank you Sam for giving her the comfortable connection to share so deeply
She's been a beacon in my life since I was 18. I'm so excited to see her in concert in May! It's been since 1997, 1994 before that. Saying she is an inspiration is not nearly enough to express what her music means to me. ❤
I think - this is now one of my favorite interviews with Tori ever. I find comfort in how -- truthful this is. And what she said of grief - I am needing to remember as well. I lost my dad this year. Locked down in the pandemic. And its -- a numb road out but sometimes I find there's joy in the tears. Letting them all out. My dad and I were not as close as Tori and her mum - but losing a parent - marks such a significant change in ones life. Her willingness to be in that truth - reminded me to stay in mine too.
I lost my mom in April… pancreatic cancer.she was diagnosed on April 1st and passed on April 29.She kept it from me.. so I didn’t get to say goodbye.Hearing Tori talk about her mother and grief truly made me feel less alone in all of this❤️ Tori is a gift to this crazy world and I love her more then words can express🥰
I lost my mother when I was six to a heart attack. Finding Tori Amos helped me keep myself together both mentally and physically. She has always been a kind of mother figure to me. Her music has literally saved my life again and again.
I was struck by your comment because I lost my mom to a heart attack when I was 7. Likewise Tori has been a mother figure to me since I was 12 and I've turned to her music for comfort ever since then.
She is my favorite. Such a gifted musician and wise sage. I was freaked out by her plastic surgery. As a woman in my 50's I always looked to her as an example of someone who does not conform to society's ridiculous beauty standards. Even our hero's are human and I still love her no matter what. She is so wise but still a magical child at heart.
One of thew best interviews with Tori I've ever seen. Beautiful and sensitive approach from Sam. Tori seems completely at ease, allowing herself to be vulnerable and open. Just lovely.
It breaks my heart when she talks about her mother, this is so emotional. It's an amazing interview, thank you Sam and thank you Tori. I can't wait to see you in Paris in february ❤️
Recently I watched an interview with Mary that popped up in my RU-vid feed, and I SO wished that I could tell Tori how truly lovely Mary was. From back in time and across beams of light, her beautiful blue eyes and radiant smile, she touched my heart, and I wished that I knew her. Her compassion, and her great pride in her daughter could not be dimmed, by space, time,or another reality. 🙏🏼
Can't get over what a wonderful interview this is. I have always loved Tori, but interviewers often seem to struggle with her. This is so beautiful, open and honest...Tori was clearly very comfortable to be so vulnerable and you are obviously such a fan. This was so gorgeous to watch!
My Mom died prematurely last month 😿 She was young and beautiful and filled with life. The pain feels unbearable. Thanks for opening up about your, Mom.
Mary’s eyes is one of my faves. Speaking with trees is all about grief. My mom died 11 months ago and this album helped me tremendously through my healing process. Seeing her in June in Los Angeles. Always a Tori fan. Heart goes out to all who lost a parent. It’s life changing.
I think the interviewer was a little wooden and scripted eg question / answer / question. Tori is so natural and engaging it’s a shame he couldn’t thrown caution to the wind and actually respond to what she was saying rather than just ask the next question.
I lost my mother in June last year and my father in June this year. Since I was never close to either of them (they were really only ever there for me at the moment of conception) it has been very difficult to process emotionally. Fortunately I have had one constant in my life and that is my passion for good music. Tori is part of that passion. She is such a creative force. I've yet to grieve. Maybe one day I will find a way. Until then I will just carry on listening to great music as that is my comfort.
Nick, perhaps you need to grieve for the emotional absence that you have felt throughout life, rather than for the physical absence of your parents now. I hope you can find peace some day.
Tori has Sun in Leo in the 9th house (love of mythology, theology and philosophy). Being a Leo, she's a natural-born showgirl. Her Moon in Libra gives her a need or craving for beauty and balance. Her Ascendant is Scorpio which gives her that deep and intense demeanor as a performer. Fire, Air and Water combo.
@@BerndThomasSchuller - You obviously don't know the depths of it and think it's based on newspaper astrology shit. It's the oldest language. The language of the heavens is as old as time. Read Job 38:33 - ''" Do you know the language of the heavens and its influence on earth? "
I have loved this woman for so many years...I'm not sure how a person can be so amazing, and yet gets even more awesome all of the time. Such a special person.
I love this woman SO much. She is such a beautiful creative force in the world. I’ve seen her live many times and each time has been magical, she transports you to a whole different world.
Blessings to you Tori and sorry for your loss of Mary (she sounds beautiful) X I lost my dad in 2019 and then the pandemic came soon after X alot to process isn't it? but thankyou for expressing grief with honesty as that is so important and as ever through your emotive music which helps to heal and helps so many🙏💚🎶
Oh geez. What would I do without her? She is one of those rare souls that make this world live able. I can’t imagine this world without her. She really is her own unique, beguiling, exceptional brand of angel.
I'm sorry, Tori. The pain of losing a parent is so hard. It also took me many years to come back to the land of the living. I was with my Dad when he passed from brain cancer, and I'll never be the same. Mary was a wonderful woman, who raised a wonderful woman. She will always be a part of you.
Thank you for this beautifully candid interview. I lost my mom last year. She was one of my closest confidants. I recently saw Tori live, and, she as an artist and her music, has grown with me, evolving in wisdom and truth. Thank you Tori 🙏✨🧚♀️
I went and listened to some of the tracks from this release and the first thing that popped into my head was how reminiscent of Kate Bush it reminded me. Now I hope that’s a compliment. Kate was and hopefully still is a masterful auteur. The songs are adventurously crafted and paint a painting of life within pandemic times quite intensely. There are lots of levels to this album and to those who might get caught up on its, a bit, earthier vibe, if you spend a bit of time, the deeper meanings and intentions become quite clear. Tori has always splat her soul onto her music like blobs of emotional paint on a canvas and this is no exception. I think this release might just play well for a while when I’m in need of a mood smacking with a full brush
If there's one good thing that's come out of the lockdowns it is that Tori finally connected with the life-force of Cornwall in a profoundly deep way. Cornwall has a healing energy, almost beyond time, and I know that Tori would have channeled her Mother's spirit through the land, the cliffs and the sea. I'm sure that her previous song, 'Weatherman', will now have new meaning for her; no longer about the land rebirthing a dead wife to her husband, but a dead mother to her daughter. Next year's concerts are going to be on fire!!!
It's safe to say Cornwall has took Tori to our hearts It's a Very down to earth honest interview, Tori comes across as very warm & articulate . I Bought the new album & there's definitely a cornish Celtic theme running through it , speaking with trees has a Kate Bush esk feel to it,it's a very creative ,almost magical album...
When Tori describes her mother, she’s unknowingly describing my grandmother, who was 1-month shy of her 105th birthday when she died in 2020. I never heard my grandma utter one unkind word about anyone, ever. She truly loved everyone unconditionally. RIP Mary and Essie. We miss you so very much. 💔
I know this isn't Tori's channel, but I am deeply sorry for her loss. My mother is also called Mary. She will be 75 years old this year. I cannot imagine my life without her. My sister introduced me to Tori's music in the 1990's, & I have loved her ever since. She is so soft spoken... yet a force to be reckoned with.❤
I want to know why she doesn't have 100m views on all her videos? Her talent is way past other similar artists in her genre (Kate Bush?) and yet she has 1% of her views. Ridiculous. I buy and will continue to buy every release of Tori's. She has my heart and ears.
Musically, Tori was influenced by the extraordinary Laura Nyro. Nyro "probably influenced more successful songwriters than anyone" Elton John, 2007. When Bette Midler inducted Nyro into the Rock Hall of Fame, she described her as "mother earth" and "an ornament to the planet". Fans describe Nyro's solo concerts as being like a spiritual experience. Nyro's mother passed aged 49 from ovarian cancer. Nyro passed aged 49 from ovarian cancer as well, in 1997.
I thought perhaps the questions were a little 'prepared' instead of 'responses', thus it jumped around a little and sounded a little un smooth BUT thanks for asking about Cornwall and her mother - obviously no one is going to find it easy to discuss, let alone on line, but she handled it well
The new album is absolutely fantastic. I am not a Tori fan who raves if the album sucks. This album is really OUTSTANDING. And Flowers Turns To Gold is the saddest song I have ever heard.
Thank you so much tori 🌹for being real i needed to hear these words to pull myself out ov grief myself ! Thank you 🙏 for your aid to help women and children from toxic relationships situation ! So many ways you have helped me 🔥🌹🔥 Yes we are one loving force together as one at your shows its more like a family reunion 😉
Goddess! Teach us! Since 96’ I have moved, changed loves, changed homes, changed interests, changed religions, changed professions, several times over. I became a seriously responsible & professional woman. I sit with you for 5 minutes & know exactly where I am, who I am, when I am. We need who you be!
This is crazy I am another tori & singer i was living in Cornwall back in 1992 doing my degree and i was obsessed with her back then its amazing to me to think she is now where I was then- big fan shes so incredibly talented
