This is absolutely brilliant! I love how you matched up some of the words with what she's saying in the other videos. You have lots of talent!!!! One of my favorite songs off this album, too!

[BigBendGhostTrackers]

Superb. The best song from "Y kant Tori read".

[log314]

So Fun!

[StephenBH1]

OMG - I have been trying to get this album for years! THANK YOU SO MUCH! xxx

[toribjork10]

these vids you made are really good. i love the old y kant tori read stuff. brings back a lot of memories of being a teen and having a boot of the album and jamming out with my best friend driving down the road. this was before music was so readily available on the internet like it is now, so having that bootleg was totally awesome for us lol. thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[xmanunleashed]

Where can i get an audio copy of this?

[arieljones265]

love 80's Tori!! If you dont treat me better---- maybe Ill just run away.. <3

[efkagore]

I´ve just found this...Beautiful song...playing again and again...

[spally61]

You did an excellent job editing this vid! Thank you for sharing.

Cool on your island ALWAYS puts a smile on my face : )

[golddustmom]

great editing! I <3 this song :D

[imthecatoninetails]

I'm in love with the music and the video :(

[Andresqueen]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I ´ve been a fan of Tori since many years ago and I have always loved this album. It´s magical. It would be spectacular if you make a video of Etienne trilogy.

Have a nice day!

[ellierany]

I love her puffy-sleeves and leggings combinations,

[jennyla5]

thank you for posting this song! Out of all the Tori songs, this is one of my favorites!

[explodiation]

Love this song. It's great when she does it live too - makes me want to cry, it's so emotional.

Well done on the video! Very cool.

[theskyisbreaking]

awesome montage :)

[Sharmilka]

she's so cool!Tori :)

I regret not getting really deeper in all the stuff ppl were talking about her copying Kate Bush and not knowing KT earlier...

[Patriciameadows]

I want to say "thanks again" to all of you that have left feedback. The comments have been so wonderful and I really appreciate your positive energy.

[DoesntPlayWithDolls]

EPIC editing!

[tahbonius]

One of my FAYVORITE Tori songs...nice job on the Video Patriciameadows!! Thanks for uploading!

[youngraven]

This is fairly brilliant editing.

[silkpill]

This is very well done!

[DigitalSoda]

Hey You Did A Fantasitc Job capturing.... "HER" all times.. of her life...

KUDO"S

[allflavorsofalanis]

not i got it its her voice that i love :D

[markkreutzer]

I wonder if Tori constantly adjusts the rear view mirror of her Saab like she does on her truck in the Cornflake Girl video? And how far does she get on a half tank of gas and a bag of chips?

[silkpill]

@markkreutzer lol! 

[ArtificialBanana]

Good job! :-)

[Equinox523]

Great editing job! This album is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me too, as a fan of Tori's later work. What can I say, this is a great 80's song.

[stuartshame]

This is wondrous. Loved Tori since "Little Earthquakes" and although this is more "synth" to her solo projects you can still hear she's the same. But then again let's not forget the fabulousness of "Raspberry Swirl" and a lot of other post "Pele" projects had electronica influences.

[preventsdryskin]

I'm so impressed, well done!!

[djfj007]

wonderful editing job!!!! one of my all time favorite tori songs.

[janetarie]

i love how Non-Late-80s this song sounds. She was on the block while Debbie Gibson and Tiffany were spewing their crap. Way to go Tori! Love that she doesn't sell out!

[columbinegnosis]

They were called Y Kant Tori Read because Tori got kicked out of Peabody for playing music by ear instead of reading it.

[speccyride]

i love u for putting this up!!!!!!!!!! xxx

[waldenandwilson]

I'm just glad this video was made by someone who clearly loves Tori as deeply as I do!

[hurshmeyer]

Pretty good. Which is my way of saying "excellent".

[macwaynester]

Excellent video, I hope Tori has seen it because it does justice to both Tori and its creator. I tell similar video stories, but paint word pictures using videolinks for emphasis, its a work in progress. Incidentally, Kant was a German philosopher on epistemology who wrote "Critique of Pure Reason", Y is the 25th letter of the Latin alphabet but biologically, is something possessed only by males until they begin "sharing" and given males also have an X, the ratio of X's to Y's is 3:1.

[ChrisOtheBigC]

You are absolutely amazing, Patricia. GREAT job. Simply amazing! I loved most of the Y KANT TORI READ album.

[megstubetops]

i heard her sing cool on your island ,live, in 2004,so she isnt that embarassed about it.she was a vixen. the Talula footage is when Tori was really down and self medicating..tori has hazel eyes,not blue grey as in the video for corn flake girrrrrl.

[errbt]

I've seen some pretty brutal attempts at lip-syncing non matching material, but you have done a pretty amazing job. It must have taken you forever to find such well matched bits! Well done!

ps My secret admission: I love this album. Some is cheesy, but it has charm, and most of it is great. This song, On the Boundary, The Big Picture, Fayth, and maybe most of all, Floating City! Hell, Tori says she has disowned it, but she included Etienne and Floating City in a songbook of solo material!

[canaan1967]

Good song. Why were they called Y Kant Tori Read?

[sapostol1]

"The name comes from an incident in Tori's childhood where she was asked to leave the Peabody Conservatory because she refused to read sheet music." (source: Wikipedia)

[snowball1988]

because tori cant read sheet music - she only plays by ear and when she went to music school they were telling her to read sheet music when she didnt want to and she ended up getting expelled because she didnt do what she was told!

[momlovestosing]

@snowball1988 She didn't get expelled. She lost her scholarship. No scholarship meant no Peabody. That "expelled" thing is a myth.

[Torivision]

Amazing job on this video, I love it!!

[starkfine4]

Lovely present you gave us.BTW good like.

[tychoSNM]

where are the driving scenes from?

[Patriciameadows]

The clips of her driving are from the U.S. version music video of "Cornflake Girl".

[tychoSNM]

@Patriciameadows

oooh, thank you!

cool vid by the way.

[swooningtree]

very clever!

[LUCKYoriginalRED]

such beauty, such grace, pure genius femininity, so fragile and yet so strong; the kind of entity we all need in our lives... and when we "find" it, we don't have the slightest clue on how we can thank her for everything she's given/ing us. Overwhelming matchless passion we can repay, partly, at her concerts and when buying her albums. As Tori herself says, it takes two (artist and listeners) to make a great show. (see next comment)

[LUCKYoriginalRED]

Tori you might never get a chance to read this, however, I apologize on behalf of all your fans, we are all sincerely sorry for not being there for you in 1987 when you recorded "Y Kant Tori Read" and in '88 when you released them sweet "girls", aka songs, to flood every fiber of our beings.

So, don't forget to give something back, to show respect and appreciation, whenever somebody, like this full of genius sweet creature Tori Amos, gives you something as beautiful as these everlasting "girls"

[robwyattfan]

@LUCKYoriginalRED I don't think anyone should apologize for Y Kant Tori Read except her record label who obviously forced such a powerful voice into an insincere tepid synth pop style. Let's be honest, if this stuff had been successful, Tori would've been worse off and so would've music history, because the label would've forced her to make a dozen more albums also in this half-finished, highly overproduced style, despite the fact a modest aesthetic suits her (and suited her) much better.

[LUCKYoriginalRED]

First: Tori can't be forced into any commercial crappy field.

Second: Finished or Half-finished, overproduced style and so on, it's still a great album, it has a certain touch, because of the sweet creature that recorded it.

I love all of "girls" just as much... I can't place on above the other... they're different but they all have the same intensity...

[Dusarrion]

As difficult as it must be for you to accept...Tori was in fact the front for a project initiated by a record label looking to cash in on the Cyndi Lauper phenomena. Luckily for her, she was able to get a break doing music her own way later. This album is actually a very sought after record now, due to the fact that very few of them sold. Most were returned from music stores and restamped by the label as promo's and reshipped, but this time to radio stations. Btw, nice video work Patricia.

[MariaSorok]

love this song! I haven't known this Tori! But now i know! And I like her and the way she's singing!!!

[Cyaneyed77]

Brilliant, well made video.

[leaguecity]

Such a great song <3

[hiawathasfate]

This is seriously phenom! You're amazing!

[geonathanfamous]

Amazing.

[RocketDescends]

Excellent vid!

[Deffie]

Fantastic lip-syncing!

[XLittleEarthquakesX]

Soo good and such a a joy to watch :)

[carriepeace]

Well done!

[sderrera]

Thank you very much for posting this.

[MattRichards711]

I love the Cornflake Girl video :)

[QuanTom39]

Awesome work!!! Really ejoyed it. :-)

[cowsgohi]

Haha, wooow. I am truly amazed. That was so awesome XD. You must be a true fan. You're very talented with the syncing and editing, too. Really one of my favorite tracks, evar. I put it on my iPod and now I'm going back to it and rediscovering it.

Viva la Tori!

[bukva2008]

fantastic work! thank you very mutch!

[davidnightingale]

Great vid. Cheers

[onewhospills]

My 8 year old daughter is obsessed with this song, and therefore we watch your video at least once a day. :)  Thanks for sharing.

[2ears2feet]

I really like your editing! (yay for lipsynching, too)

I'd prefer it without the white LE parts, but that's ok. The flow in between the clips is great.

Considering her latest output this could have been on American Doll Posse or A. Attracted to Sin. ;-)

[lilaclillymess]

love tori's expression with her "eyes" @ 1:37

[ChiannaTheNevarii]

Lovely,lovely,lovely without any kind of limits..*It´s one of the songs,of my life!!!!!.*Adorable Tori!!!!:*..Pleaseeee,Come to Spain to do a concert,coz U´ve never did any hereeee,& the "spanish fans",we always have to go out from here,to can see you in live!!!!.Hheehheheehehe;)))))

[dancingblue222]

Your edits are amazing - your sync and concept over all. Kudos.

[cjrie]

sync is amazing!!!!!

[Firestar27]

That was really impressive! Helluva a labor of love to sync up the various lip movements from other vids. Personally, I wish there had been a music video for Floating City, it's one of my favorite tracks. Great job with this!

[justplainjill]

extrordinary editing, congrats

[emaiquetia]

I´m stronger than you know, im not afraid to let it show

[Videovuelo]

Wow, Tori is the best.

[riottori]

Amazing. Thank you so much for doing this! A real treat!

[bobafettucini]

Wow, awesome work!

[AuralElixir]

WOW, that was so interesting! You did a fab job of putting this together...very together. thx!

[SevenofLein]

good lipsyncing (is that how one spells lipsyncing?) never mind.. nice job!

[christopherrssll]

[Jemz999]

baby i'll just run away

if you don't

one day

you'll wake up cold

then you'll know

you'll know

you'll know

you love me

[Samke11]

Patriciameadows, of all fan videos on youtube yours are definitely the best, most profound and most professional ones! Thank you for sharing your talent, it must've taken such a long time and so much work to make all these videos. Wonderful job! And thx for sharing the songs from Y Kant Tori Read, they're wonderful. Tori should re-release this album, I think!

[tirdreamer]

I second that, these videos are great and obviously the work of a dedicated Toriphile, thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us ears with feet.

[earthonika]

This has to be one of my favourite Tori songs...The lyrics are so heart-wrenching...And this video more than holds up against the song...Wonderful stuff...

[sajrocks]

Great vid, great song. Thanks!

[megstubetops]

hate 80's pop unless its Kate Bush.tori is much better a few years later.This song is great when she does it solo live.good video btw

[sirsniffy]

THERES A VIDEO FOR THIS?!!!! Thank YOU!!!

[missfire13]

wonderful! brilliant!!

[ConsignToOblivion]

You did this so well! <3

[RSVibe]

this video is absolutley amazing.

you are very tallanted. It must have taken forever to make.

It's very well put together :)

[RSVibe]

This was from when she was in a band "Y Kant Tori Read" they were alot more mainstream than Tori's solo stuff :)

[astorastilbe]

this is soo good!

wow!

this must've been a lot of work!

[Xalaquiaa]

Devendra I am glad that you are showing these songs. they are the most feminist of Tori Amos stuff. I love it that she can do it without coming across as a man-hater. This points to the fact that we usually love men more than they are willing to love us...sucky. Anyways Tori is such a powerful woman. This stuff is great.

[Shirahshell]

I have to find a copy of this CD.

[panthergirl1632]

Awesome video. Excellent job!

[sixthcrusifix]

Oh that's wonderful!

I always wondered why this song never had a video. It was one of the best songs of the album.

[mellotron12]

great job on this video! great song, too!

[dacacyn]

No conocía este tema y tengo todo sus albunes, me sorprendió, es exelente esta canción como todo lo de Tori.

[aeuwave]

i second everyone elses comments - excellent work. i discovered this song about 10 years ago and have been working since then to obtain an album copy! HA! i love everything after y kant tori read but i always manage to come back to it over and over since it is all my all time favorite, too. good job <3

[okhan001]

yes, very nice work :)

[andi2]

another beautiful edit for a gorgeous song....

[ensrifraff]

When exactly did she go insane?

[annavonlea]

Well done! :) A worthy video to a great song...

[mamamcqueen]

This is a fucken awsome video. Thank you.

[zukututu]

ego no ego this is coooool baby

[torispetdragon]

this is work of editing genius.

[raspberrymuffin]

You did a really good job with the special effects like the blending...it looked really nice and and professional. :)

[bigmac7406]

This video is as amazing as Tori's firecrotch. And that's pretty fucking amazing.

[wouldyoubelieve]

You did such a fabulous editing job with this! It's a perfectly lovely song, and your video... just makes it even better, if that's possible.

[celinette22]

...no words...just amazing...

[wyguy3]

love this song, then and now!

[VeliSilver]

I will travel to Shetland islands to take "cool on an island".

[daturacat]

i love this song. and the clips are brilliant!

[shitgeek]

you did a really buff job on this - hats off to your edit skills - and good choice of tori song to resurrect - this album gets a right rinsing, but i think this tune is decent...

respect yo x

[justanoli]

I think this is so extremely different then the rest of her music, in fact so much so that it's shocking to know it's her, that she wants to distance herself from it.

I think it's sad that she wants to hide any of her music, but I suppose if she feels no connection to it then it's her decision, you know?

[kristin6969]

Great job on the video.  You did a good job matching up her mouth with the words.

[happyshotgunman]

You did an A+ job! Great work!

[frakfrellfrag]

incredible!

[garypgibson]

One of my favorite Tori songs and you did an amazing job with this video. Thanks!

[mwasnidge]

that's good editing!

[AtwistedNether]

its funny how this cd is so hard to find

[chiafarrow]

Holy cow! You made this???? Brilliant! Wasn't she great??

[barryframic]

im so impressed, thats really fantastic, must have taken you a long time to do. thanks for sharing

[sarahthediva]

awesome song and way cool video does limewire have this??

[natashaclaire]

wow, that's cool how you found minutes from other vids when it really looks like she's saying the right words:)

[WanderingChild]

Lovely!! You did a great job with the syncing and the flow of the video. Tori really is amazing! :D

[patrosfeta]

cool. very meticulous.

[IsilionNELE]

splendid

[flappp]

[ShampooCell]

Awesome! Best Tori song ever!

[bethhartweblog]

Oh wonderful, can't wait!

I hope I won't forget to check it out.

Great trilogy. My favourites from YKTR

And Etienne for which I always imagined a Scotland lanschape video...

[bethhartweblog]

Another GREAT job. How much time did it take to make these? Please make one for FIRE ON THE SIDE next!!!

[VeliSilver]

Näää, Tori will give me hers! She has a sense of humour and the album didnt sell a dick back in 80s so she must have a plate or two on bottom of some closet.

[VeliSilver]

I seriously must buy this album from somewhere.

[plath81]

Wow, this is incredible...thanks!

[blackdoveLM]

Very well done! This is my fave song from Y Kant Tori Read and love the slower live version that she does now.

[mymycaro]

wow great work. I'm glad i saw it.

[fionasapple]

i love how the vid seems to be in synch with the song!! i loveeee this song, it's the only one i like off "y kan't t"
