Tori Amos - Winter (Live) 

I lived past the age of 21 partially because of this woman’s music. It made me feel like I wanted to live one song longer. Then another. Then another. Thank you Tori. I’m an RN now and you’ve helped me live long enough to help other people live on. Sometimes one hour at a time.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, performed by one of the most beautiful women ever. Absolutely stunning, moving, haunting, emotional, beautiful, mesmerizing-- and brilliant. Thank you, Tori. We all love you.

Never has the face of a girl singing been so beautiful.

This video should have 40million + views imo...such a great live version of this amazing song.

"When you gonna love you as much as I do" such a beautiful lyric, spirit & soul ❤

Normally artists make art but just watching her is art in itself.

Took my Daughter when she was 18 to see Tori. It was 1992 at the Carefree Theatre in West Palm Beach. This is what she heard. One of the most beautiful performances ever. Not the same venue but same concert series and same result. I’m 71 years old now and remember it like it was yesterday.

The first time I heard this was on a cold Winter day in my car. I pulled over to listen, mesmerized, on an icy road under falling snow, living in a town I hated but couldn't leave. I didn't catch who it was on the radio. It was like the time I saw the most beautiful woman in the world on the Star Ferry crossing from Hong Kong to Kowloon, simply brush the hair out of her eyes, and I saw novels. I listened to the same station hoping to catch the song again and find out who it was. Some time later, I lay in bed late one night and the song came on the radio. I was transfixed when the phone rang. A very rare event in my tiny basement apartment. I didn't jump out of bed to answer it. I had to hear this song again, see the beauty in Hong Kong again, and learn who was singing. The phone rang and rang and then stopped. The next day my mother called me. She said, "Your grandmother died yesterday. I tried to call you."

This is how you make a room go completely silent with awe. You write and perform a song like this.

This is staggeringly good: the songwriting; the technical ability on piano; that voice.

I have watched this hundreds of times over many years. It has brought me to tears more times than I'd care to admit. This performance is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Nothing has ever come close to this for me.

I haven't been able to listen to this song since 1995... It leaves a dad sized hole in my heart. This was the first time I have listen to it, at least since the 1990's, I deliberately skip over it on the CD. And yeah, same affect all these years later, but at least I got to hear it again.

That look on her face when she sings "Never change" is hauntingly beautiful in so many ways....

i hear her mum and dad were in the audience can you think how proud they must feel

Breaks my heart and reminds me of my loving father who lived to 83. I miss him so much.

My dad died when I was sixteen, I'm 53 now and there's not a day goes by I don't think about him.I would give everything I have to spend even one day with him and tell him the things I should have when he was alive. Miss you dad.

A Goddess, genius, and incredibly talented woman...there wil never be another Tori

It's amazing how a song can take on a different meaning, the older I get. I'm 43 and have been a fan since my early teens. I have two amazing children and I just played this song for them while making a valentine box for school ... And I just lost it and balled. Her lyrics and metaphors are so powerful. They continue to be an influence and inspiration for the way I think about things and view life. Truly an artist that reaches the soul like very few can.

This is up there with the very best live performances of all time.

The heart, the hurt, the passion, is written all over this beautiful woman's face with every word she sings. It still brings me to tears after so many years. A staggering song that wishes you could just repeatedly keep hitting the like button.

I feel like Tori Amos fans are my people, my tribe.

She's the version of musical perfection nobody noticed enough - So much energy and talent, so beautiful. She's amazing. She's on my playlist daily - every word, movement, actual involvement - people blink and simply don't recognize.

We played this at my Dad's memorial service. Such a beautiful homage to a father

My father just died and this song helped me cry and get all the bad emotions out. Thank you

I am fifty and I am, most importantly, a father: my children are my heroes: my son was borne at 26 weeks and survived procedures that would have put me in the ground; my beautiful daughter came out at 12 and has endured treatment that would have put me in a mental institution. When I hear things song I feel good and full of love. Thanks

I just lost my Dad 3 weeks ago. This song has always been with me but couldn't be more relevant now! 😪

This transcends music. It's a piece of art, and I'm so glad this moment was recorded on video.

Possibly the greatest live performance of all time. I love Tori and I have watched this 100s of times, but it still moves me. Amazing!

I met Tori backstage on the Little Earthquake Tour in 1992 at the Bottom Line in NYC. She took my hand and placed her other hand on top of mine and I remember it like it was yesterday. So spiritual. She sang Smells like teen spirit as an encore then Mother.

This song takes me back to being a teenager and walking my dog Harry every day. I’d have headphones on playing artists like Tori Amos and he and I were so free together. So young; we could walk effortlessly forever. I can still see him as I call him back onto his lead. Running back to me joyfully. It’s powerful to remember my lovely dog, my close friend, through this song. I love you Harry. Thank you for walking with me all those nights.

The kids these days are always talking about things being "a whole vibe". Tori Amos is the wholest vibe.

ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES EVER... THIS SONG........

Tomorrow I'm going to ask my son when will he make up his mind and love himself as much as I do. I just got this Tori

Thank you Tori. I just lost my dad a few months ago and this song really helped. Cheers.

What a beautiful intimate performance - just breathtaking. Also, Tori must be a studio engineers dream, you can simply record her and press directly onto record - so flawless.

One of the most beautiful live performances I've ever seen in my life. Speechless.

Jfc!!!! That is about as close to the flame as you can get !!! Gotta be careful when I listen to this ... Tears every damn time !!! Very well could be the most intense mind blowingly arcane and totally soul crushing thing I've heard !!! Even after all these .... Decades now !! No one can touch her as far as writing/performing

I grew up listening to her. Both my mother and my father are huge fans. Being young and stupid I didn't really appreciate how utterly exquisite her music is. I do now. and fortunately my Daughter who has a much better ear for music than I did at her age absolutely adores her.

I was in college when her album and this song came out...such a melancholy song...such a beautiful voice...hearing it today instantly brings me back 30 years ago....crazy how time flies

This is some of the most powerful music I have heard in my 64 years on this planet!!!

Absolutely crazy! Her range, the imagery, message, melody and power. Tori and Jeff Buckley just hit my absolute soul. The two of them are the most under rated and soul stirring musicians/singers. Wish they could have collaborated

If you don't get a few tears in your eyes while listening to this. You are truly missing something so special in her personal verse

It took me an entire year to learn how to play this song on piano. My very first song I learned how to play. I love everything about this song!!!!

Tori is amazing. I've watched many people sing songs over my 50 years. Before she sings, you can see a memory spark for her. She's far away in the past but at the same time, present with her audience. It's a rare thing to see in artists who sing the same songs thousands of times during their career. She is one of a kind.

She sings with such powerful emotion, you can feel her affection of endearment and love through the ripples in her voice.

People start sharing our Girl again. This world is so undone at present... Everyone needs more Tori in their life. What a performance. I feel every emotion all at once 🙏💗 Jane 🇦🇺

Listened to this on my evening walk. I listened to the album version first and then listened to this live performance. It was still playing when I walked up on the porch and I stood and watched my wife feeding our kids through the window. It truly was surreal.

The last "Cause things are gonna change so fast" never fails to bring tears to my eyes...

My good friend just passed away at 46 , this song was ours to listen too when we were young . Miss ya feathers xx

I lost my grandma unexpectedly at 12, the only woman I'll ever truly know as a mother. Tori came along and helped fill that huge void left by such an amazing woman. Thank you for being an equally amazing woman and inspiration, Tori 💖

This is astonishing. I am a pianist and this is genius.

My Daddy would know when I was struggling. He would walk in and turn this song on repeat. Dad, it's been 6 years. I know your energy rushes to me everytime I listen. I love me like you do now!!!

How anybody can be in that audience and not lose their ever-loving minds when she starts this song is beyond my ability to understand. One of the most beautiful songs ever created in the history of recorded music. Chills. EVERY. Single. TIME!

Are you guys hearing/seeing this?!?!?! I can’t think of ANYTHING THAT COMES CLOSE TO THIS LEVEL!! I’m in complete awe ❤

This still rips me into pieces .........................................

This is a superb, the highest class of a vocal performance. It is close to flawless, and every tone and sound fits the emotions. I have nothing than admiration for her.

Tori's songs can evoke every human emotion, and can transport you into another realm of being. She is a musical genius, Love her.

I’m still listening to this song in 2021 ! This has to be her best song she’s ever done. Loving her new album ocean to ocean also

My father died in May of 2015. Tori was one of his favorite musicians, and he was the one who made me a huge fan of hers in my pre-teen and teen years. When papa wasn't listening to talk radio, he would play one of the CDs that he burned of her live performances and other recordings, and he bought me copies of "Little Earthquakes" and "Under The Pink" for my 13th birthday. Ever since his passing, I make sure to listen to Tori's music on his birthday (Feb. 18) and Father's Day. Rest in peace, dad. Until we meet again someday.

Stunning. The lyrics. Her voice. Her prowess on the piano. I just found this video. It’s a masterpiece. She’s beautiful inside and out. The emotion that she shows while singing this song is obvious. She wrote this about her dad which just gives it even more meaning to her and us listening to it. I will be listening to this forever.

Still bringing a tear to my eye in 2021.

If I ever get through this song without tearing up…. Reminds me of my dad as well. Such a beautifully written song.

2021 and I find myself watching this with different eyes than I did in the 90's. So many dreams....

My relation with both my parents was one of nothing at all (accident). This song brings tears to my hart. Not of the feeling of missing out on something, but pure of the beauty of this song. Thank you Tori to connected to something I thought that wasn't there. Hug.

My mom just passed away, I just played this song and I couldn't help felling melancholy, is incredible how there are wonderful, amazing, talented and beautiful women in this world, just like Tori and my MA

I can’t express how beautiful this is to watch, what a talented performer. She puts so much emotion and passion into it, comes right from her heart and is genuine, she plays piano amazingly too wow ❤

I was here at this magical unforgettable concert, and she was absolutely right, things will change...absolutely everything has changed, and almost nothing for the better. The word change synonymous with complete degradation. Her point being stay strong in your heart and soul as everything around you tears into pieces.

All time favorite Tori tune. Last night I had a flotation therapy session and I had my own playlist i made on in the pod. When this song came on.... holy hell. I cant even describe the feeling of being completely surrounded by this song. Just feeling that building composition wash over me. The whole experience took me somewhere outside of the pod. If you float and like to listen to your own playlists, definitely add this track. Its amazing

De France. Je tiens a remercier et a féliciter le ou les caméramens qui ont eut la judicieuse idée de filmer Tori avec des gros plan sur son visage avec des fondus enchaînés qui nous prouvent que la musique s'écoute mais aussi qu'elle se regarde. Tori est FANTASTIQUE par son expressivité, elle a le talent extraordinaire d'une pantomime qui nous traduit ses sentiments par les expressions de son visage tout en nous racontant une belle histoire par son chant pour nous emporter avec son jeu de piano dans les nymphes de son imaginaire, le tout dans une perfection d'exécution proche de l'irréel . Il n'est pas étonnant que Tori, ai été considérée comme une Véritable Légende dès le début de sa carrière. Des millions de MERCIS à Tori pour nous faire découvrir ce qu'est L' ART !!!!!!!!

Never fails to make me cry on Christmas day. I miss my Dad.

I come back to this song and performance from time to time and have for years and will continue to. She is gripping and dripping with talent. Should have 550 million views if not a billion. First heard this about 10 years ago and come back to it annually. Cannot get through Winter without another listen.

Hi Tori, don't know if you will remember me but I was a regular at your piano at the Marbury House's Lion's Gate Taverne, one night during your break you asked me to walk you to the 4 Seasons snack bar, that was when you told me about your upcoming plans to record music. Hated seeing you go, it took until mid 2000's till I figured out you became Tori Amos, I knew you as Ellen. You were amazing then, late 80's as you are now. Special talent.

And no matter how many times I've seen or heard this, there's always something new that reveals itself.

I don't know how to watch this performance without crying

Learning this on the piano rn. her work twists my brain in knots

The Crush I had and Still have on this Woman...................................................

This video performance was my first introduction to Tori, I immediately fell in love when I saw it in 2014. She has changed my life with her music

No human should be allowed to have this much talent! So much passion and intensity. She's amazing!

Only recently come across this heart rendering performance. Even if it wasn’t for the hint of tears in her eyes all the way through and the occasional catch in her throat (particularly near the end), the beauty & strength of the lyrics alone would be sufficient to touch our souls. This is a perfect illustration of the power of genuine emotion combined with live performance. Powerful enough for me to take a serious look at my relationship with my own daughter. Thank you Tori.

I never heard of her or this song until today. I can't believe what I've found.. I love you Tori ❤

The emotions she showed….gives me goosebumps

Often in this world, those with the most important things to say, aren't listened to. I feel that way about Tori. She has produced some of the most fearless and important music in decades.

The emotional power of this song gets me man. We all hear about masterpieces and such as we get older and I think we all will eventually find that one personal "Masterpiece" that is hard to not revisit. Tori is very underrated and In my opinion on a Mozart level of mastery in her music. Her music is amazing.

This is timelessly beautiful. ❤️

This song is haunting and beautiful. It gives me chills. I don't know if Tori ever sings her songs the same twice. I love it.

So so lovely. 28 or 29, but she looks even younger. This is so pure, and her signature way of gazing out into the audience and her magical presence is already there.

I remember always hearing Tori Amos as a little one from my dad. Besides Queen,Pink Floyd,led Zeppelin,Alanis Morsette. 💗👁💗

Masterpiece!

It hurts hearing this I miss you daddy #restineternalpeace until we meet again beyond the stars 🕯

Thank you Tori for enriching and inspiring me throughout the years. Your genuine songs and compositions have followed me since my teeanage years and they still grow in my mind and they have been probably the best therapy for my mental pain and suffering ever! I have in deed been skating around the truth who I am and I realize now more than ever that the ice is getting thin. This particular performance in the video is really representative of how authentic and unique you are as one of the worlds greatest performers. Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again! You are truly my anchor and I can always rely on your music! I'm my mother, I'm my son and both of them shall walk with me towards the rising of the Sun and your music will accompany us in our perfect triangle of imperfection and remind us of life and renew our spirit and the love of one another! Thank you!

This song is like the soundtrack to my life right now. I lost my father in 2015, and in a month Im getting married and im freaking out. I so wish my dad was around to give me advice and to give me away.

I just love this woman... YOU MAKE MY EYES LEAK. I hurt for what Tori went through, and I may not agree with some of the songs... but Tori is one of a kind. May God bless and heal you.

I played (not sang lol) this piece as a young man when I wasn't learning Chopin, Mozart etc. I think it gave me a different appreciation for music. Tori is such a talent and now as a father of a super intelligent and amazing and kind daughter, I can't imagine the emotions Tori's dad would feel hearing this.

Winter for me, was back in the 90s and is still now, an emotional Rollercoaster of a song for me. It hits so different and harder as an adult! All I can think of is my Daddy, who passed away in 2018 due to cancer. ❤

I am 45yrs old.... still listening to Tori. She was my favorite artist in the early 90's.

I sit here beholding the beauty and depth of this song with tears in my eyes. Thanks, T.

Impossible not to love her, look at her just adorable.

when she sings this song and tries to keep the teras from flowing, it hits the depth of life and what I have gone through, this song she sings brings back a lot of memories and tears in my life, Tori is the artist I think deserve all accolades and tribute for bringing out what everyone has gone through. she has done what few artists have done, she has done what other artists have not been able to do.

An amazing performance of a beautifully haunting masterpiece.....bravo Tori

Haunting melody by the most gifted musician of our time 🙏🙏🙏
