Give this chick a place in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame already! She is a true artist whom performs straight from her spirit. Beautiful Tori✌

Omg I can't listen to this without tearing up...Tori helped me survive high school when my mom died.... brings back so much emotion...

When musicians write songs this moving, they become magicians.

This is why the 90’s matter

No song has ever brought tears to my eyes except this one as a father of 4.

everybody gangsta till the chorus comes in

My mother’s favorite artist, died when I was 10, I’m 15 now. Tori helped me understand life, grief, and gave me hope. She’s an amazing women and I now understand how special she is. What an beautiful song.

Loved it when I was 17 years old. Still love it at age 49 🥰

I discovered Tori when I was 50. Now I’m 74 and am still in love with her. She is the essence of beauty! We who know her music have been given an amazing gift, cherish it ❤

I always wanted a father who loved and supported me, so I ugly cry when I hear this song. This beautiful, amazing, perfect song and gift. It’s worth the tears.

I put my hand in my fathers glove...such a simple phrase but containing so much love...RIP dad...

This album has never been eclipsed.

Where has this beautiful voice been hiding all my life? How did I get to 24 years old and never hear of Tori Amos? Magnificent.

Pro wrestler Mick Foley used to listen to this song to pump himself up for big matches. Tori Amos lyrics are so deep like poetry.

"Winter" by Tori Amos is a song which speaks of the love found between a father and his beloved daughter and the fact that life will have to go on without his presence and that he hopes she'll do her best. "Winter" speaks of the loss of her father, due to death. As the song opens, Tori sings of the closeness found between the two. She sings at the way he protects her, encourages her, and loves her dearly. the beginning she emphasizes that he protects her, looks out for her best interests, and encourages her. - "I put my hands in my father’s glove.." This reminds me of the closeness with my own daughter, when we would go outside in the cold, I would tell her to put her nose on my neck as I held her closely to keep her warm and safe. The refrain is like a dialogue between father and daughter. Her father says she needs to realize who she is and to understand the greatness, wonder, and beauty within herself. As with almost everyone, we all have our periods of self-doubt. He encourages her when he asks, "When you gonna love you as much as I do?" When her father says, "Cause things are gonna change so fast", he is stating that he won't be able to be with her for the rest of her life; and things will change when he is not around anymore. The line, "All the white horses are still in bed" is a telling and prophetic expression. White horses have long been a symbol for death, his death. Then white horses as I see them running through the dark of night tell of the beautiful tragedy of people who fail to do realize the gravitas in every child's life after the death of your father. Almost always, the death of a father changes your life. How it changes you can be substantial, to the positive or the negative, or in some ways it can be the path to an inner peace after the love you felt for your father is overwhelming and even though you might think now it is not worth anything anymore, you'll realize at some point that a feeling as strong as this cannot be useless. Take this moment to reach out to your father if he's still here. Tell him you love him.

Moved to Austin in late November ‘ 92….. Tori came to town a few weeks later and she was my first Austin Texas concert to take in in that awesome city….

She's so beautiful

I'm partly ashamed that it's taken me this long to listen to Tori Amos, and also partly grateful and think that maybe her/her music is reaching me at the exact right time. This is unbelievably beautiful

For my father. He passed away in 2002. Your princess has grown into a strong woman. You'll always be my biggest hero.

Holly crap. That was like one of the best songs I've ever heard. It actually brought me to tears at the end. What the hell.

She plays the piano and harpsichord simultaneously! I bought this album on casette when it was released. Her music is timeless. It's honest, sentimental, sad, rebellious, and raw. All the good stuff.

Someone who truly knows how to sing with her natural voice. So very talented. The instrumentation is beautiful accompaniment to her voice. No kitschy fake accent, no kitschy auto tuning, no kitschy gimmicks. Just beautiful, honed talent.

In two days it will be 6 years since my dad passed away, a few months before he did he made me listen this song, saying it was one of his favorites. Since I’m French and I was really young back then I didn’t understand the lyrics. Since he died I think of him each time I listen to this song but I never came back to the lyrics until today, now I feel like he wanted me to hear that even when he knew he won’t be here anymore

I just called my dad to tell him that I love him and I had to pretend that I had a cold because I was so stuffed up from crying to this song! I probably don't have too many more years with him and I don't want to waste a minute.

Saw Tori Amos last night. Simply Incredible.

[Verse 1] Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens Wipe my nose, get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run off where the drifts get deeper Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice: "You must learn to stand up For yourself, cause I can't always be around" [Chorus] He says: "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear" [Verse 2] Boys get discovered as winter melts Flowers competing for the sun Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was Mirror mirror, where's the crystal palace? But I only can see myself Skating around the truth who I am But I know that the ice is getting thin [Chorus] "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear" [Bridge] Hair is grey and the fires are burning So many dreams on the shelf You say "I wanted you to be proud of me" I always wanted that myself [Chorus] "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear" [Outro] Never change All the white horses, ah Hmm

She should be waaaayyy more famous that she is. Writes and sings her own songs while playing the piano. Those talents are rarely seen together in artists that are ruling the charts these days...

Easily one of her best songs. She’s such an incredible songwriter.

I only have to hear the first notes of the piano and the tears are already running.. this song still touches me after 30 years and even more so when my father died a year ago

This song is super emotional for me - the lyrics make me cry every time.

I just saw Tori in concert last night and when she sang this one she was choking up through the last minute or so. I think everyone around us was crying.

I cannot make it through this song these days without crying or getting a huge knot in my throat. Breathtaking and startlingly relatable album from my formative years.

I woke up to this song in 92 or 93. I was stationed in Germany and fell asleep with my TV on. It was on AFN cause that was the only channel we had lol. In the middle of the night the played music videos and her voice woke me up, then her face really woke me up. Every time I hear these lyrics I remember how strikingly beautiful Tori is. Those green eyes!!

I was named after this song. My Mum listened to it during her pregnancy and played it for me when I was little. Still dear to my heart❤️

When we all connect, we realize this song is about all of our Dads.

My father died today, she is singing this for me as I weep.

Wonderfully powerful feminine enchanting goddess. I'll loved her in highschool and I'll love her forever

Discovered this song from Mick Foley. He would listen to this song before his matches. A truly beautiful piece of music.

This song has held a special place in my heart since I was a teenager. I am now 42 and know it always will. ✨❤️✨

around this time of the year i revisit this music ..jan. 29th will mark the the 13 year anniversary of the loss of my oldest daughter and her unborn son to a drunk drug impaired driver this song reminds me of the bond i shared with her and her younger sister whom i lost 2 years later...thank you tori for this piece of music and the memories it helps me retrieve no matter how painful they may be sometimes..its all i have left of the three of them ...and i cherish still.

Jesus, this song tears my head off.

Who's in 2024?

I've listened to this song since it originally released. I am now almost 59 years old and this song is so true.

My favorite song and music video from Tori. There's something about her face language in that video that feels both very personnal and dramatic. She and Kate Bush truly elevated mainstream music to a divine level.

This woman left such an imprint on me with her music. Amazing artist.

It's my 42 birthday today and I'm jamming this song just like I did when I was 17. Epic song

A musical prodigy. People will listen to this a hundred years from now. The storytelling is amazing.

Anyone else here after finding out *MICK FOLEY* used to listen to this song/singer before his matches , to calm him down and get rid of the pre-match nerves 🥊

This is probably the most beautiful song I have ever heard. ♥

I used to be in love with her and her music. She was one of my favorites.

My first Tori song, my first ever tape (that I ran through until it no longer played). LE and UtP carried through my father's death when I was 14. I was able to grow because of both albums, and they are indelibly a part of who I am. This song, and video, continue to give me goosebumps to this day.

Mick foley goes into a trance when listening to this on repeat.

This song can serve as your best friend.

Tori is one of the best musician/performers ever. Legend!

Her lyrics and voice still give me goosebumps

how can she not cry when she sings this? its so charged. not to say anything about her incredible performance and composition skills. gem in our culture. when are we going to love ourselves as much as father loves us("when you gonna make up your mind, when you gonna love you as much as i do"? that's a hard question, which roots in why we hate ourselves.

My favourite Tori song, such a beautiful piece and can't understand how anyone could dislike this. Those people must be lacking a soul.

this song makes me want to be a better dad

When I was a teen, I had the chance to sing this as part of a winter concert my vocal teacher put on for the winter holidays. But I got sick and things happened and I missed the winter concert. I deliberately left the song sheets on the dining room table for my dad to see. He saw the music and read it and liked it, but honestly, that was it. He never told me if seeing what I wanted to sing to him meant anything. My father has passed away since then. Though this song didn't give me the chance to connect with my dad, I still think it has the chance to help other kids reach their own distant fathers. All my love to those of you who do.

This always reminded me of my Dad. Now that he is gone, it has so much more meaning. I am working on loving myself as much as you did. I love you Pops, forever and a day 💙

How anyone listens to this song and doesn't at least tear up is beyond me..

I just love this song so much...she sings about "all the white horses", which to me parallel her father's battle with cancer. Such a beautiful tribute to her Dad.

So much of Tori Amos reminds me of Kate Bush. Both incredible, but Tori’s music really takes me to another realm. Love her.

When you going to love you as much as I do? Deep asf

Why do I always bawl listening to this song?

More than 30 years have passed since I first heard this song. And it still gives me the shivers. Forever, Tori, forever!

My dad actually got me into Tori Amos. Such a great song.

this is so nostalgic. I grew up listening to this. my mom had great music taste ❤️

This song always reminded me of my dad because his hand was always the only strong one I ever had to hold. I emailed this song to him a few months before he passed away from lung cancer. He knew at the time I sent this, but didn't want to break my heart, he messaged me back that the words meant so much to him, and told me how much he loved me. When he passed I was there with him when he took his last breath, and this song was playing over and over in my head.💖

This song turns Mick Foley into a killer.

It’s been 31 years today since I lost my dad. He was 36 at the time and I was 9. I hope he knows he will always be my hero and that my son was born on what would have been my dad’s 57th birthday. My son has my dads name for a middle name, after that coincidence how could I not?

love her eyes they have a certain grasp on emotions it rings straight through her soul!! wow!!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Her dancing with the children in the beginning is so adorable look they're flowers!

one of the best and most moving songs I've ever heard. You must let it break you down, it's for the best.

i dare anyone to not cry to this MASTERPIECE

Without doubt, the greatest song recording ever made. Thank you Tori.

The most under rated and most under played artist of the 1990s

My Father was awonderful man and I love the Winter☃

One of the most beautiful songs-- written and sung by one of the most beautiful women. Just a beautiful, haunting, emotional classic song.

So happy that I stumbled upon Boys for Pele cassette tape at goodwill 15 years ago. Sitting in my car listening to it all the way through I fell in love with Tori's music. This album is just as good, and such a great song.

My favorite female artist! Tori has the voice of an angel.I've been a huge fan of her for over 25 years.She has truely inspired me in my art work and the way I feel.I LOVE you Tori Amos

I used to listen to this song every night with my dad when i had to go to bed between like 3 to 6 years old. Im 18 now, and I'm putting my 6 year old siblings to bed while they listen to the same song to fall sleep. It brings me tears of happiness to see it from my dad's point of view and how special it really was.

Such a beautiful song! Just discovered Tori yesterday. I wish music like that was playing on radio and TV instead of the usual crap. There are many great artists out there, but they are buried under piles of garbage, and one can miss great music for decades, as was the case with me and Tori.

It is still as perfect as the first time I heard it

I first heard this song at the end of 10th grade. Discovering Tori Amos was one of the best things in my life so far. I find myself back here, watching this video just over 2 years later. I was just stopped in my tracks today and I thought of her singing "things are gonna change so fast"... I know the way I interpreted it back then probably wasn't what she meant it to be, but my interpretation of this song helped me get through the most hopeless times and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here I am, now a little bit older but much wiser, independent and far from the troubles I once had, and it just brought tears to my eyes when I realized things have changed so fast. And I think I finally understood "when you gonna love you as much as I do"...

This song makes me tear up every time. I never noticed when I was a teenager but as an adult, it's clear this is a song about her dad. I saw her in concert once and I live near where she grew up so her parents were in attendance that evening. She gave them a shoutout and the spotlight went on them for a moment and they seemed very proud of her and waved to everyone. A few fans even came up to them to compliment them on their daughter and they shook their hands.

The 90's were amazing... halcyon days....🥺😔

Why does this always make me cry?

How you talk to God and how He talks back To you in your songs touches my soul in a way that you will never understand. His answers to you are His words to Me. Thank you. Love you Tori

By far one of the best songs. When you going to love you as much as I do. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Tori!

This song absolutely destroys me. Every single time ♥️

Tori' first album is majestic, beautiful and wonderful

The emotion in Tori’s voice on this song still makes the hairs on my arms stand on end... this moves my soul.

Who's listening to this in May 2020?

One of the most beautiful and touching song ever written about childhood.

This the only song make me cry and I love it. it feels so good to let all of this go, now I need a drink.

One of the best songs ever

I bought this the day it came out in the UK, based on a 30 second snippet of this track. I new it was going to be something special. I wasn`t disappointed, what an album and what an extraordinary artist Tori is.

this song is the ANTHEM for how complicated and important the relationship between father and daughter is.
