Tori Amos "Taxi Ride" Music Video

[coolcara501]

Shes wearing the dress from Crucify!

[kofemord]

this is a very good song!

I love that part when she sings:

"Just another dead fag To you that's all Just another light missing In a long taxi line, taxi line"

[attosua]

if heaven exists must be very similar to the feeling I have every time I listen to this song...

[starfuckerification]

Best tori amos song i've ever heard......... songs keeps playing in my mind when i ride the buses

[mattrd]

The video that won the contest was better. This one made no sense whatsoever.

[lurksindarkness]

I was confused at first and then, suddenly, I was crying. I loved the nods to the "Little Earthquakes" videos. This was so special. Thank you.

[FULLinstrumental]

The song was about losing a gay friend. Were is the gay friend in this video? The old lady. Only thing related to Tori I dislike.

[MANDI2880]

Kevyn Aucoin you are missed and my idol

[drudger6666]

Lisa Brenner is very attractive

[MsJorane]

@drudger6666

her smile at 3:30, ah..., pure beauty

[viridianmoonlight]

this is the best video for Taxi Ride i've seen yet! thank you!

[vicsridin09]

so many emotions go thru me when i listen to this song

[scorpionmuse]

why is this video making me tear up?

[thistleflowers]

@scorpionmuse ..it does the same to me.

[roviscoyt]

does she has any best of cd or something? thanks everybody

[lurksindarkness]

@roviscoyt She has "tales of a librarian" which is 20 some songs from her first 4 albums. She also released "A Piano", which is an extensive boxed set including songs, b-sides, and previously unreleased tracks from her first 7 original albums.

[GuitarGare]

Bingo! @2:12 the casting director said: The young girl and her older self have to have the SAME calf muscles! Oh the humanity! Can you imagine going through 100 aged dopplegangers and then seeing the same calf muscles and saying: "We have her!" The insight? Someone at their profession somewhere has to suffer indignity so that Tori Amos (or anyone) can fulfill her/their artistic vision.

"The love of the great number will cool off." - "Times hard to deal with will be here."

[jjreis77]

love it

[sietepeaches]

total diva 1:36 to 1:40

[zubey91]

is that the chick jesse from saved by the bell? lol!

[gagidis]

got a long taxi ride...

[mrzebra239]

At least her dress from crucify made an appearance.

[breedak]

Borrowing Kate's boxes still. Lovin' you none the less however Tori, always yours ad infinitum with buckets and spades:)

[jetelegen]

One of my favorite Tori vocal arrangements. I got into her with Pele, and Father Lucifer will always be the best, to me, in that regard, but this one does kiss miraculous beautifully.

[lutalice]

omg when the old lady starts climbing into the box...i think i made jazz hands!! pure love!!

[merc3desah]

pretty age machine, lol. beautiful though - the blues and beach

[alligence]

such a great artist

[MDNOBL]

The best one!

I remember i've voted many many times for this one to win!

[itisthefear]

amazing video clip amazing song amazing singer amazing album! :D

[caseyburl]

this is the best video i love the lyrics so powerful 

[OrenLovesTori]

very good!

[pianomist]

Great video! I liked the use of the Tori concepts from other videos like the way she was dressed in the Crucify video.... the waitress outfit with the red slip hanging down. Great!

[allmenarepirates]

this reminds me of my backpack roadtrip to new orleans to see her perform without her band on the night before halloween for the strange little girl album. this came out after i travaled the whole country.

[zebralicious]

This video touches me on so many levels.  Thank you for this.

[dirtboyfsr]

I thought Tori's best work was on the Little Earthquakes album...until the song. Absolutely breathless! And even if I am not sure how this video fits the lyrics, it is just the same a great piece of work.

[renthead15]

"Just another dead fag to you"...that always chokes me up. I forget how profound and spot-on her lyrics are.

[hushicho]

Absolutely fantastic. I confess it made me cry.

[Awakethepoet]

I died a few times, listening to this, a few times. every time, i was unsuccessful.

[suburbansoftrocker]

GoOd SoNg.

[sietepeaches]

simply one of the most beautiful videos i have EVER seen

[XXgav123xx]

One of my favorite Tori Amos songs. i FIND HER SONGS ARE EITHER AMAZING OR ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. nO INBETWEEN WITH HER.

[88GirI88]

This girl should get a award for her voice! Her work! Her greatness!

[Aishavadali7]

Love the small elements brought back fromthe little earthquakes album I saw here. Nice

[agmcwhorter1]

@Aishavadali7 I thought the same thing, did you notice the younger woman was wearing Tori's dress from the "Crucify" music video? I love, love, loved this! Was this the contest winner? An official video? It's so good :)

[muraddrigo]

I used to think that the lyrics of the chorus were "I'm glad you've grown moustache..."

[PanoplyCabaret]

@muraddrigo Oh god, thanks XD now that's all I can hear.

[cyberchicky]

um wow.......I have tears streaming down my face. The tie into the other tori videos are amazing... thank you....

[01alessandro]

my favorite tori's track , ever

[cloudsdescending]

i have a cat, lily, who was named after this song. lucy was named after pretty good year, and easter after crucify :)

[BrainiacN5]

Tori should have stayed with Sony. Even though I'm not a fan of big companies and I think more artists should take a bigger part of their career in their own hands, she was doing much better stuff in those years.

[PopCulture20]

does anyone know what this song is about? because it's very confusing

[tomoyomi]

@PopCulture20 It's been a while since I heard Tori talk about the song, but I do remember that it was written after make-up artist and close friend Kevyn Aucoin's death. She references that in "Just another dead fag to you, that's all / just another [head]light missing / on a long taxi ride."

[LeeLoomaR]

I loved this video from the first time...and in case you noticed the young woman is wearing the same clothes Tori was wearing in the end of the Crucify video(the girls dancing and say''wahy do we Crucify ourselves'')

you can see it crearly at 3:42 of this video..:)

[bitburn]

This is...incredible. Wow.

[epitomeofpissed]

This is amazing. Just.. wow.

[YouyReallyMadeIt]

i actually shed a tear watching this video. very intense.

[purecorkboy06]

I like how the Anne Boleyn cheerleaders from crucify made it into this video. Great to that character again

[TheBritbrit38]

it s really the way that I feel with that song amazing!!!! should have win!

[indigowalrus]

this is beautiful...

[OrangeAni]

Great!

[ListenToProphetSix]

Is this an official video for the song? It's really good!!

[melaniejsnow]

This video caused me to get a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. I'll always love Tori. She moves me like no other.

[ExplorationB]

me too, I am so glad I stumbled onto it. I am sad it didn't win. So many Tori References...

[jl1100]

My favorite Tori Amos song EVER. That's saying a lot.

[gahjii]

its a tearjerker

[theoriginaldoodle]

WOW.

[bannor99]

Lisa Brenner is as lovely as Tori is talented

[stiltman92]

It's a great video, and a great song, but.....well, I'm just having trouble blending the two together. "Just another dead fag to you, that's all" I love this song, and the whole album it's off of, so I won't split hairs too much here.

[benzackry]

this is the most moving video clip i ever watched from Tori. She's such an amaze! I love her. I love the vid. and the story behind this song is quite sad too. From 'Out' magazine, Tori said that this song was for her dear make up artist an best friend, Kevyn Aucoin. Very sad...but uplifting

[ExplorationB]

I know I can't believe it didn't win!

[MrMountainshore]

@ExplorationB which one actually won? This one looks so official!

[ExplorationB]

I know right! Amazingly well done and looks like so much money went into it. (Although it's pretty Hate Machine not Pretty Age Machine that the mistook) It's a pretty cool vid of the back of a taxi cycling through passengers over the course of a day. At the end it's implied that Tori is driving but it's more upbeat and pensive than this one. I'll see if I can find it and send it to you.

[MrMountainshore]

Thanks! You're the kindest person :)

[robobrow]

I'm guessing pretty age machine was a joke

[ExplorationB]

Maybe... for the longest time I thought it was "Made my own brother hate my shame" Ha ha ha ha!!!

[Bmehr0775]

what line did you mistake?

[Bmehr0775]

wait, this WASN'T the winner?

[jarofbutterflies]

Wow, really really really great job.

[SadecebenVEBEN]

this song makes me take deeper and deeper breaths which make me feel like my lungs will be crushed

[deathtouch100]

this may be my favorite song from scarlets walk

[leagatti]

I LOVE ITTTTTT!!!!! te amo TORRIIII!!!

[DigitalGhost94]

i really love this song but this isnt the images i get when i listen to it, it's a good video though very different perspective, i love that about tori.

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

This is the winner right? I heard Tori telling a story about her daughter/mother/and herself and this tells the exact same thing. I bet she adored this one.

[DigitalGhost94]

you mean on the beekeeper dvd? i heard that too, i think she does like it, otherwise i dont think shed have okayed it. and it's pretty different, she always sees things alot different than us mere mortals

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

Yes the beekeeper dvd : ) And she is mortal lol, just very wise and deep. Way more than my young self!

[AngyalGyula]

The gorgeous Lisa Brenner played with Heath Ledger (R.I.P.) in Mel Gibson's "Patriot" movie, and played in a Tori Amos video...lucky girl. The little Madison Grimes is so sweet in these pictures :-)

These pictures aren't Taxi "video", but really a "vision" -waking up emotions, memories... It makes me remember my childhood, when I, as a small boy was swimming in the Danube river next to my city...

[gerelepo]

Why this wasn't on Fade To Red as a special feature I will NEVER understand. Absolutely one of the best Tori videos ever and she's not even in the thing. The director needs to do a video with her in it or direct something for her 'cause he's hella talented! :)

[franjinha18]

LOVE IT!!!

Your Cloud still is the best song on that record, actually it's the best thing since Choirgirl Hotel!

[DigitalGhost94]

how come tori doesnt have her own youtube channel? i would have thought she would have considering all the music and videos she's produced over the years

[ZeroPointLibra]

lol even tho tori isnt in it this is the best tori video ive seen in the past 10 years. well done. :)

[egrorian1]

@ZeroPointLibra erm - what about A Sorta Fairytale - that's a truly outstanding video, much better than this.

[NickMB]

I'm glad you're on my side

[LovelyEmoBoy89]

amazing song

[Tanru2000]

I like how the girl is wearing the dress from the Crucify video.

This would be a very appropriate clip for Curtain Call or Gold Dust.

[SmackLoons]

I wish Tori had hired the person who made THIS to do her damn visualettes for Abnormally Attracted To Sin.

[funkylovejunkie]

@SmackLoons i know, a bit crap weren't they

[guineapiggyman]

@SmackLoons hahahaha u r so right!

[Katieafi7]

i LOVE her <33333333333

[pulplizard]

great video!

[MhicWombat]

Probably my favourite song from the album :-)

[britbrit38]

mmmmmm For the favorite song taxi ride or gold dust??? really hard question!!!!!lol

[HagnestaHill747]

This is maybe the most beautiful thing I've seen/heard in a long time....

[allanyumul]

is this the official video? i do not remember any

[Tanru2000]

There were no official videos for this song - there was a competition called Taxivision where I think there were 5 or 6 finalists. This was one of them.

There was another one in the back of a Taxi that one. Another with a girl doing photography that was also good. IIRC the rest were silly. Bobbleheads etc.

[Loreleis]

its amazing i love this

[ducksrockhard]

Beautifully shot.

[Metoposcopist]

Wow!

[marceloinvest]

This song is about what?

[soul2310]

life ?

[AutomaticTLC]

Life...AIDS...the country....ETC.

[gohyperstrike]

i love this video! it's beautiful. is this the winner?

[childre24]

I really have no words, it's stunning and beautiful and pulled at my heart.

[wakingribbons]

It was absolutely stunning! Really! But I can understand why it didn't get picked. The imagery was moving and fabulously "maiden-mother-crone-like", the way the "mother" led both ends of the spectrum into the light was brilliant. AND the way the one was dressed as Tori in her first solo video, ah, too perfect! being irrelevent to the story of the song, however I can see why the other was picked. but I would definitely have voted for this one!! Its very moving!!

[Bellasko]

Hello, Barclay Deveau!

Finally your Taxi Ride video is Youtube! I'm feeling so happy!

I want you to know that i voted many times on our video during the contest!

Your video is the real winner!

Thank you so much or sharing!

[rionwhen]

[tinkyjem]

This was my absolute favorite from the contest!!! So emotional and paid Hommage to Tori in so many ways

[Lenupet]

[brokenfixed]

[cletus5nove]

[mixjuli]

tOrI te amo , te amare hasta la eternidad!

[waitressboy]

The video that won the contest was really good.

That was what I thought, until I saw this one.

[laszchak1989]

This is am amazing music video. The best of its kind! I think you should look into making another one, I won't pick a song because all of Tori Amos' songs are awesome.  Kepp it up, and you will make an amazing music video Director!

[wznidaric]

amazing - sumptuous images

[WanderingChild]

Truely breathtaking!! This is shot so gorgeously! I seriously LOVE this!!! Very inspiring! Fantasic job!! :D

[NymphetamineOrchid]

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[tuecoute]

[torifan900]

OMG! This is seriously one of the best Tori videos I've ever seen.

[qtgrl08]

This is so great! I love the references to earlier Tori videos.

[branmags13]

AWESOME!!!
