What a wonderful cover version. I met Bonnie Tyler in 1996 whilst working as a pianist in Swansea and I was chatting with her and Ronnie Scott who wrote 'Its a heartache- and Lost in France etc.Ronnie asked me who my influences were and I told him that I admired Tori Amos immensely and Bonnie Tyler agreed that Tori is an extremely talented artist. Just thought I would share this with you ! Love to all of you, Lee x
Tori Amos is mega talented 😍😊, but you man were lucky 🍀 to chat with Bonnie 👍She was wonderful performer on stage whed doing her songs - especially this one 🙂
I started listening to Tori in 1989 with Y Kant Tori Read. Love all her stuff. I have come and gone with her music, but she continues to be a constant in my life. This is exquisitely her, as a cover.
please, for all of you disparaging her pronunciation .... you don't get it. it hardly matters what words she is saying. the emotion she captures is what this is all about. if that doesn't hit you then you're not going to get it. go listen to something else. have you never had a broken heart? have you not despaired? have you never held a blade to your wrist? has your heart not ached for your mate? tori conveys these moments of desperation that many people have felt & she does it so effortlessly, it's amazing.
Deepest thanks to you, thanx01 for defining what Tori unfailingly always does so very well - that is, capturing the soul of everything she sings. This cover is heartbreaking, candid and very real. I am beyond delighted that you understand this, and the trolls can do their worst, but nothing will ever take away from the stunning beauty of this cover. I can never EVER express how v much I adore Tori!!
Yes, but for some reason it didn't make me say "Brooeet ass" or "fall apoohooit" or "once upon a dime" or "toodle eclipse of ahoor." Not once. No amount of despair or melodrama can make what you typed logical. Something can be emotional, and still make sense. They are not mutually exclusive. There is not some magical property of your grief or worship that changes an objective mistake into an objective triumph. It is therefore your rose-colored glasses, and not our inability to "get it" at play here. That's not to say you are "wrong," so much as to point out your grief is not griefier than anybody else's. It's a flawed argument, and it has no relevance to their claim.
+cornflkeboy1 That is EXACTLY what I was going to comment ! Have you seen the live cover of Oasis's Don't Look Back In Anger? It is hilarious !! I am thinking of starting a group on facebook that is just Tori's covers ! :)
Ditto!! Totally WOW! 6:50 original length intended by the writer of this song sung amazingly by Tori. Fantastic cover of Bonnie Tyler's version. This artist has a big voice and ever ready lungs that can supply oxygen to an entire City of Angels. Tori Amos...sing!!! Love it!!! Thank you!!!
pure genius.... I used to think only Tori brings to life a song.... but there are a few other artists out there capable of such wonderful performances, like Bonnie Tyler who gave life to this work of art... and the way Tori takes entities like "Total eclipse of the heart" and nurtures them, and gives 'em a taste of her overwhelming, never-ending passion, what more could you ask for?... I respect and apreciate, feel and understand these full of genius sweet creatures with every fiber of my being!
That song was my special love song when growing up. I still deeply love it, but you just lifted it up with so much emotions... your voice is incredible and you are a gifted musician.
Boys for pele changed my life, tori changed my taste in music...I just love her, she is the SINGER in my life. (I do prefer her own song, but this is quite nice)
If you listen her vocal is the harmony to the original if you sing the original notes. Love the magical piano nobody can do like her and her ethereal beauty goddess manifested.
I love the original version but there's just so much more emotion in this version......I'm getting goosebumps as I listen to it right now. Hands down one of her best!!!
lemme tell ya, as a guy..if Tori or Bonnie ever sang this soulful,passionate song to me..i'd be like putty in their hands.We want to find beauty in our lives and here it is
she killed it alright silky smooth vocal on point with passion and feeling you could listen to he piano work in the background and have a totally unique experience just focusing on that and letting the vocal be the background or vice versa some people are so programmed to have a song sound the same as it always has they miss the pure mastery of a MASTER ARTIST.
MADRE SANTA!!!!! Quiero morir en este momento.... QUE INTERPRETACION TAN FABULOSA!!!!!!!! TORI AMOS ES LA MEJOR!!!!!! Pocas veces un cover supera a la version original... INCREIBLE
+MrCarter'sRods they are all around you,i am not in any religion.how sad you don't believe in love,love is an angel,Tori is an angel.you my friend are an angel.u don't need to wish,just believe in life and love.simple,it seems.
What I find is that she always finds a way to make a song her own, instead of doing what many other performers do and rip it straight off. You don't have to like the way she does it, but you can't deny at least she puts her own mark on them.
Ooh I love Tori's "Landslide"- she really is the best at covering other artists' stuff. She communicates them so well! I never thought I'd like a Tori Amos cover of "Purple Rain", for example, but it's been one of my faves for ages!!
I love artists who can take a song and make it completely their own; showcasing the lyrics to perfection and outclassing the original by miles. Like Marilyn Manson with Sweet Dreams...and like this. This is absolutely superb and I am completely and utterly in love with Tori and her honesty and purity. Goosebumps.
I’m 90% certain I passed this woman by the river in Inverness, Scotland earlier this year. I’ve always loved this rendition and wish I’d had the courage to say hello.
I like a few of Tori's songs but must admit im not a great fan of all her stuff, but there is no question she is a very talented musician/songwriter and has a great ability to cover songs in her own style that make them sound her own.
This cover actually makes me like the song even more and i find it could be used i n a movie drama or action film? i find it a more serious feellig to it Tori is amazing .
Tori did a cover of total eclipse of the heart that blows my mind. I never cared for the original but tori's version is amazing. and at about 3:40 she does this key change that just gives an amazing depth to the song like never before.
This song originally came out when i was in middle school and i had such a love/hate relationship with it :) But absolute love with Tori's cover! This is just gorgeous, it is on "repeat" on my player often! Just yummy.
Covering another person's song, especially one that has been a mega hit, right? is really an homage. No bigger compliment. Bonnie's song spoke to Tori ... how neat is that??
