Tori Amos - Playboy Mommy

[FuckYourGodYourLord]

Thank you to whomever recorded this.

[modarXmodar]

does this song have an official video

??

[nothingbutmeat]

@modarXmodar No, it was never released as a single.

[madocaron]

God this song breaks my heart every time I hear it.

[deucestrutter1]

I listened to this song after my ex kidnapped my son and I had just miscarried another son. It was like she was reading my mind. I was in turmoil. I feel Tori is a blessing to me and all other women out there. I love you Tori!



[glitterdust40]

I love Tori's perspective on her miscarriage ~ so much more than just the biological occurrence ~ it's not just that the BODY wasn't accepting ~ it's the emotional spiritualistic side of feeling rejected or unworthy ~ one of my favorites ~ and the line that gets my heart is "Those angels cant ever take my place" ~

[brinewench]

I'll be home, I'll be home, to take you in my arms. ;n;

[AWYMARI3HORN]

?First time hearing this song! Love the lyrics an' all!

[v0j4]

If you see a guy at a Tori Amos concert crying his eyes out to this song... that's me QQ

[code2high]

@v0j4 I'm right there with you Q. I'm not sure why but this song grabs me and shakes me to the core.

[xIssimax]

@v0j4 want to marry you then! :)

[martianboy]

Wow yes please live forever Tori you deserve it.

[importantwoman]

I get my way, you're so like me my angel Hannah.

[breedak]

One of her greatest song if not one of the greatest songs ever... Tori.

[importantwoman]

if this song doesn't make you cry or give you shivers you aren't human.

[KingKillThirty3]

my favorite song that she ever did, don't know why but I had to have this playing on my ipod while walking to class for years. Saw her in Charlotte right after fairytale came out. wish sheda played this but oh well she was awesome anyways.

[MrMuzikluvr]

OMG, I love you!

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

So beautiful and sad, all at once.

And the lighting behind her illuminating her is so gorgeous!

[michaeljehn]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[Karolcia1993]

It's probably her most touching and emotional song ever (along with Winter and Northern Lad) and definitely in my top 5 Tori's songs.

[ticklebug]

I cried through the whole thing, and I've never had a miscarriage. Very powerful and beautiful dedication to her baby little girl on the other side.

[biggirlevie]

"COOLING!?" ..... no (: xD haha i love her

[mhatsko]

:chills:

[prettyxugly]

me too.

[SashaRose13]

This song makes me cry.

[tenderbloodrose]

I love it. this is definitely a favorite by her.

[raz1980]

I didn't really like this song. Maybe cause I was thinking the situation Tori went through that inspired her to write it. But when she played it in Vienna a few days ago.. I've been listening to it a lot.

[rainbowluv77]

she has one of the MOST beautiful voices in the entire world nd she is so beautiful nd unique

[ariela1182]

Kocham tę piosenkę!

[code2high]

Wow...................

[ariela1182]

I love her sooo much! My favorite song.

[blueskies444]

Great rendition to a great song. Choirgirl is one of my fav albums, hands down.

[MrYeti414]

She has such a beautiful voice!

[alltherobinsbring]

I used to claim LE as my favorite Tori album, but more and more, Choirgirl sneaks up softly to first place. And this song, oh, this song... <3

[xlove2lovemusicx]

This song never fails to make me cry. It's unbelievably touching - I love Tori so much for bringing out these emotions in me.

[durizap]

Best thing is....You don't even have to understand the words she is saying to feel all those emotions.....She is simply amazing !

[Izekial56]

Very beautiful live rendition. Love it.

[nadinehennings]

WOW. I love her.

[yvonnebis]

this woman is AMAZING!I love all her songs!are so deep..and beautiful..

[deathtouch100]

I feel the same 4u2.This woman is magic.I would love to be able to sit down and pick this womans brain for a few hours. She is so passionate, magical, emotional in her music. She is truly amazing and I have listened to her from the beginning in the early 90's. She is brilliant, beauriful, honest, down to earth and sometimes a bit odd, and I love al those qualities about her.

[4U2LoveMe4Ever]

this is absolutely angelic... she is expressing herself on her sleeve here.. her voice is very reminissant.. .her heart is so there... wow.... Tori never ceases to amaze me.. even after 17 years of listening to her....

[darlingzooloo]

One of my favooorite Tori songs. Choirgirl is possibly my favorite Tori Album, it's the one I just keep going back to time and again.

[racefaceec90]

absolutely awesome!!!!!

[youngandforever]

mymom is the one thatgot me into tori she has been listening to her for like 20 years but out of all her songs this one is one of my favs

[lilkkka]

tori is the most personal and most beautifull person in whole world! I wish so much i would be like her. This really was the the song which brought me to tears.

I LOVE TORI!

THANK YOU

YOU INSPIRED SO MANY PEOPLE

PLEASE LIVE FOREVER!!!!!

[renthead15]

This is my favorite Tori song. It definitely touches something within me. This performance has to be one of the best versions of the song.

[PlaidBoy]

This is one of the best Tori songs ever.

[FastforwardTheRewind]

You're right, Tori-

No angels could ever take your place<3

[dioseolo]

This was in Philadelphia. Cletus5nove has this same performance in his/her account (you can hear the same guy who wanted her to play Cooling there), but just from another angle.

[gennx30]

THIS and WINTER bring tears to my eyes

[bigblonde26]

I've heard her do this live-she puts SO much into it. You can really tell shes going back somewhere when she sings this. So sad.

[ShaneMcCutcheon2008]

Beautiful.

I Want This Vid!

We Need To Rip The Audio!

[Chocolateluvr1987]

I love this live performance. Something about that song just grips my heart...

[Karolcia1993]

stunning

[muminek79]

I always have tears in my eyes listening to this version of that beautiful song. Once again - thank you, Tori. And thank you nothingbutmeat for posting this video.

[zontyr6]

That song touches the deepest inside of my soul...

[InesFloresM85]

Esto sí es ser auténtica y personal y lo demás son pijadas.

[comahi]

I would kill for a voice like that.

[UnderThePink119]

Man: "Cooling!!"

Tori: "NO!"

And than she played the best song ever. Tori is great ^^

[propertyofranger]

This is such a stunning song, and this is such a breath taking version. I get teary listening to this song! What a glorious voice. I love this song - I love Tori.

[davesantos]

Shivers up and down with this song... can't believe this lyrics...

[dawnziez]

wow. I break down to my knees everytime :( fabulous so much personality and passion

[BillyAndEthel]

hope she lives forever.

[zontyr6]

She will lives forever!!

[BelleandSebby]

This song is so personal, it must have been so difficult for her to sing in concert. I love Tori for that, though. She's such a brave person. There is no part of her that she doesn't share.

[BillyAndEthel]

well said!

[champainless]

jesus, chills all up and down my back, "friend of american soldiers, i'll say it loud hear by your grave, THOSE ANGELS CAN'T EVER TAKE MY PLACE"

[zark78]

Genius.

[bigduggieface]

Tori's normally associated with the acoustic piano. I love to hear her play the Rhodes electric piano. So soft and warm.

[nothingbutmeat]

It's actually the Wurlitzer, they sometimes sound a bit similar so it's easy to confuse them.

She did do Playboy Mommy live on the Rhodes in 2005, also a nice version!

[xibalbaist]

@nothingbutmeat  yes you r right this one is wurlitzer 140b

[idontlikenicknames]

"Those angels can never take my place"

That gets me everytime :( Thank you for this video.

[amandajosefin]

This is one of my favorite songs From The Choirgirl Hotel album! She always makes the songs so different live and this version is just so wonderful.

[Xone7]

This song gets me everytime.

[damiencale]

Does anybody know where a full version of this song from the piano box set can be heard because on the CD from that box set its only a demo?

[oo0Brokenwings0oo]

I'll be home to take you in my arms....

Heartbreaking.

Tori is incredible, simple as that.

[suncame]

nie żebym miała coś do polszczyzny, ale no. NO.

[forgetthesavageries]

Frankly, your English is so recongnisable that it is downright clear you are from Poland. Btw,walk your talk and type in English urself. Take care,babe.

[suncame]

jezu, koledzy i koleżankiz polski, piszcie po angielsku bo jakos nasz język tylko brudzi ładne strony :}

[Evanescencefan4life]

it breaks my heart to hear those words... i adore her for her courage though. she's such a special woman. <3

[dragoness17]

This song is as important for Tori Amos as 'Me and a Gun'. True confession before thousands of people... The courage of this woman simply thrills me. It makes me also think of my own mother, that's terribly painful.

[goreckibg]

"...those angels can't ever take my place..."

Damn...

[BloodRoses7]

"...then my baby came before I found the magick how to keep her happy..." This song is so heartbreaking and beautiful.

xoxo

[amonwhiteB]

love how everything is stripped back,so the harrowing rather rotten story of playboy mommy is told..its strange,i never met tori,but this song is as persnonal as personal can be for me...

[kocsonya]

fuckin' fuckin' fuckin' perfect

[seacowlove]

Wow. From a relatively new Tori convert, this must be one of the most moving live performances of any genre that I've seen. Pity this version wasn't on "Choirgirl", I like this a lot more than the album one. Oh well, Tori is fantastic either way :-)

[jkhvblzdjbvlzdjnvb]

wow !!!

[prl1973]

Fantasic version - even more powerful when played this fast. Px

[Randjtoday]

This song means more to me than any other song she has sung.

[commentmakeryeah]

I cried when I saw this the first time, and even now it's sooo moving...My favourite from Choirgirl, I think..

[DawidMMM]

Ładna pioseneczka a gust mam wysublimowany :)

[bladii77]

o gustach sie nie mowi w dobrym towarzystwie,a tu tylko takie jest....

[dragoness17]

Noble company should keep you from using the language no-one of these people uses ;)

kocham te polskie akcenty na Utube... lol

[bladii77]

kurde, swietne to jest .....

[mobbyplay]

!! Oh my god!!!

[sorcerer101567]

"COOLING!"...."nnnnah!" LOL!! Love Tori!

[makrolainen]

Perhaps the most beautiful performance i've ever heard. I'm so glad that i found this. I was in Tori's concert on friday and it was amazing.

[CelestialDeathGaze]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!? She by far puts on the best performances. Each is filled with so much passion and raw feeling and you can just plain see she lives for performin!

Her music fills the empty holes in my soul.....

[curver88]

One of my favorites!!!!

[alek7]

Philadelphia 13/10/01

[jehonda]

A song sung by the bottom of her heart..that makes her be great by all means!

[drowningc]

everything about this is beautiful. the song, the lighting, of course tori's voice. i love this song

[bladii77]

po prostu Tori jest bardzo dobra

[kitteninmyhair]

oh, but now i want to tell more of the story.. it was upper darby.. our trunk was broken into during the show, i drove for hours to see tori, when natalie merchant was doing a surprise intimate show down the street.... the lady in the row with us was a total meanie.. It was the first time i saw 'beth'.. her friend scrame out "SUGAR" at one point.. the people behind us were talking all night.. the crowd was really not very good.. but we got this song.. :)

[kitteninmyhair]

This was from Philly, my husband and I were the filmers. It's nice to see it around and about. I love this song. :) love, A Playboy Mommy

[nothingbutmeat]

Nice work!

[mobbyplay]

thanks a lot!!! It's simply perfect

[Chocolateluvr1987]

Yeah, this version is a lot better than the album version, it has more feeling. Wow. That song has got to be one of the saddest ones I've ever heard.

[tanjalundert]

makes me cry all over again.. love her so much

[garbagejagged]

OMFG! I have this in MP3 format! Just LOVE it!

[tenderbloodrose]

where did you find it???

[nothingbutmeat]

I can't remember where. I downloaded an entire concert from 2002 (I think) and this came with it as a hidden bonus. I didn't realise it was in there until I opened the folder. Very nice surprise indeed!

[comatoselucy]

Thank you I've never seen this live before!

[purpleevil]

i think im in love <3

[pixieXmeat]

much better then the album version although it is a good version too, her passion live make it come alive

[allisfulloflove2006]

wonderful voice

[Chocolateluvr1987]

Thanks! And my computer stopped being weird now, yay! I love that song, thanks for sharing!

[Chocolateluvr1987]

Is it just my computer, or does this video always stop at 30 seconds? Sad, I love that song!

[tenderbloodrose]

your comp :)

[nanatsu7]

i like this song, the lyrics are so sad, but i guess this is a reality for some women in the world

[tenderbloodrose]

I love this song. So sad.

[raspberryswirl]

Such a wonderful song, brings tears to my eyes sometimes. Wonderful performance. Thnx for posting!

[natashaclaire]

awesome. I'm glad somebody posted a performance of this song. it's one of the best on choirgirl I think (but they're all so good...)

[robertschrader]

It's Philly 01 as well.

[ChrissyWood]

Love me some Wurlitzer!!! Great song too. <3 thanks for sharing XoXo

[CHILLTHATBENDS]

wow!! I LUV HER
