TORI AMOS live RASPBERRY SWIRL

[nephentes33]

I dont undertand english very well when i hear it in songs, when i saw the lyrics after listening the song i was laughing so hard! This is so fucking sexxxxxxxxxxxxxy!!!!!!

[datura1983]

this is about a female lover she had/has

[indrakamala]

Everybody knows She´s my Man

[HybridFalcon]

5 people didn't get off their ass. 

[Dapts]

"Wait! Okay ... so everybody off your asses."

Love her.

[lordlevyinger25]

Amazing, astonishing Tori Amos... Brazil loves u!

[RainyChua]

OMG. This is just how I imagined Raspberry Swirl in my mind - the pianos, a sexy Tori, and people jumping off of their seats.

I love love love this song.

[chriswlowe]

Does she just ooze sex in this performance?

[clintdawley]

5 people are not from her tribe.

[datura1983]

@clintdawley lol

[iskafilipina]

SWIRL baby!!

[neverwherejojo]

Off your asses!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

[neverwherejojo]

I worship Her!!! Swirl and swirl and..........

[VivekaPandora]

Whenever people ask me why I find Tori Amos so sexy, I show them this video.

[ShazzaWT]

This used to be one of my least favorite Tori songs, but now it's worked it's way into my favorites <333333

[phinee]

I can't stop watching and hearing this !!! '^^ <3 Amazing era indeed, oh I wish I saw her at this period...but well, hopefully there are videos ! (and this is one of her best performance ever in my opinion !)

[CelticRaE19]

I think tori is one of those women who wishes she was lesbian but can't because she is 100% straight. you know like all these girls who break up with their boyfriends and they say i wish i could just become a lesbian... jokingly of course. because if it were that simple we would have a lot more lesbians. i love this era!!! so fierce

[pulchritudinous21]

i take a vow on how good she plays her music!! been loving her music since she started!!

[mumsdrunk]

I love all Tori's music but I wish she would do more songs like this in the future.

[TimVerhaal]

Look at all those people being happy!

Tori is amozing!

[henchwang]

GOD SHE'S SOOOOOO HORNY!

[stairwaygoddess]

I just danced in my kitchen nonstop for 4:31.

[LeViolonDeLaMort]

How can she be so perfect?

[Karolcia1993]

I used to be straight... then I watched this video.

[jedenzniewielu]

@Karolcia1993

No ładnie... ;]

[Innersymbiance]

@Enquanto18: That's because Tori is Talented :P

Def. the Best Version, 4 people sure don't know how to make anyone's Raspberry Swirl, you're right 'exetier'. Well must go, caught a light sneeze...

[noonehmm]

unreal

[M17401]

HOLY MOTHER, BOW BEFORE HER.

[falc1624]

'mazin

[exetier]

4 people would not get up off their asses

[hiraethchild]

4 people don't know how to make anybody's rapsberry swirl! That's okay because 598 of you do!!!!

[cloudzac996]

Could I possibly ask for a download link? Or perhaps you could email it to me? Cheers

[billywally86]

this should be rated as sexual content, she does it for me lol

[rynox77]

The year: 1993, the place: South Bend, Indiana, Me: watching Tori live in concert, laughing at her talking about 'python cunt'.

Memories...

[SupernalOne]

"If you want to get inside a girl, boy, you'd better make her raspberry swirl" - pretty self-explanatory - and I'm good with it, I can do that, sounds like a plan :^P

[RockFaerie1]

@SupernalOne Not trying to be a smart ass but the lyrics are "If you want inside her well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl." :)

[SupernalOne]

@RockFaerie1

OK, thanks, I stand corrected - it's always best to look up the lyrics, people often get them wrong - pretty similar meaning though, either way :)

[ToriKoz]

I have not gotten to see this version of this song since vhs tapes were still all the rave. I just recently gotten back on to the internet, after 12 years, and my friend told me to look up Tori and I did not know what I was going to get. Jackpot! I have not gotten to hear play Raspberry swirl live yet, but i am going to keep trying.

[klined]

This song is about eating pussy for those who are dense

[Sherri2008]

@klined Thanks for pointing that out for us!

[tenderbloodrose]

Shes adorable. 

[vivelavidarocka]

This is a great live video. It captured all the energy inside that room plus Tori's sensuality in a pretty vivid way

[breedak]

OOOHH, SHAKE!! :)

[0white0Rabbit0]

she has never looked so beautiful as she dose here.

[booboozenkitty]

HOTTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!



[ggboot]

OMG I love this woman!

[nshvnancy]

I love this song and am wearing my Raspberry Swirl necklace from that tour that stopped in Nashville at Vanderbilt U 1998, this is the best live version I have seen too! Raspberry Swirl Girl!!!!

[nshvnancy]

I love this song and am wearing my Raspberry Swirl necklace from that tour that stopped in Nashville at Vanderbilt U!

[greenpestopasta]

Tori, you rock! Love you!

[mirandalatimer]

this is what tori herself has said about the meaning of the song, if it helps: "The animus in me is Raspberry Swirl, I'm in love with my women friends, but I just don't eat pussy. But I'm in love with them. If I had a different sensibility, then you know I think I could, you know, really fulfill someone down there, where a lot of men in their lives don't. And eating pussy is a metaphor, too - it's about crawling in there, being with their juices, really being with them."

[CosmicBoot]

@mirandalatimer I love this quote.

[obtyropil]

0.43-0.48 Orgasmic piano playing!! :)

[falc1624]

is she not the coolest, at :35, I melt

[falc1624]

is she not the coolest, at :35, I melt

[NachosFairy]

Anyone wishing to see the official video for this song can also currently find it here on Youtube.

[Karolcia1993]

It scares me how extremely talented she is.

[productionmilitia]

JESUS H CHRIST... THATR IS ALL I CAN ATTEMP TO SAY!!!

[sandroeleven]

what is this weird song about? Couldn't hear a thing.

[NachosFairy]

@sandroeleven Tori Amos writes her lyrics in abstract poetic form. You should see if you can find your own meaning in the lyrics after some meditation on it. She also uses a highly experimental vocal style which, although sometimes compared to Kate Bush's, is her own. She highlights how the voice is itself an instrument.

The lyrics are found online. I would type them out for you, but I am not allowed enough characters within a reply to do so.

[sandroeleven]

@NachosFairy Abstract for sure...this is just word jumble.

[bellnoor]

go girl go girl ;-) i love you go girl

[KukikoIchigo]

OH NO! 4 PEOPLE MISSED THE 'LIKE' BUTTON!

[witchy46]

One of the best.Everything she touches is gold.



[amessinger]

An amazing performance of an amazing song. Just... wow.

[leogadget]

@amessinger of an amazing woman.

[buzianyadatutube]

playing 2 pianos at once? omg i came

[tallchick16]

This is so much better live. I couldn't believe it! I watched the video for the first time and I love this version! I wish I was at bonaroo to see her live!

[charryhair]

Tori rocks!! She's God!

[Cassadinegirlaz]

AWESOME!

[AsheeshAnand]

She's the definitive "Witchay Woman".

[colouredpasserines]

gasp!

[Nymphicuz]

Tears come running on my face and I can't help it. And it hurts a bit.

[thyczko2]

think about it rasberry swirl it's a tonuge twister literally if you want inside the her well you have to make a rasberry swirl it about oral sex duh

[betoblong]

Uoooouu

[DaiskDark]

Does anyone know whose the drummer XD?

And like always, Tori Amos is Amazing! U just feel being drained into her music when she starts singing!

[hevanescencarrillo]

@DaiskDark the greatest Matt Chamberlain! :)

[DaiskDark]

@hevanescencarrillo Thanks!

[MJPShow]

I love that "everybody get off of your asses". Great song, great singer, great pianist just great all around

[Branscombe55]

Sex on Legs.

[rodaransuscabezas]

she looks so elegant and beautiful here, raising her smiling head with calm and sweetness

[RobertoGaspar69]

she's a GODDESS,,,,l love you TORI!!! damn...l would do ANYTHING in this world and afterlife to marry her...or even to have her for one day. at my side...GODDESS!!!

[bete22izzy]

@RobertoGaspar69 she's really a beauty, like a fairy and for me is the most tallented woman composer, singer and musician the world has and quite underrated.

[TearInTheirHands]

Tori Amos is the epitome of sexy.

[AurumBranches]

I love her... just amazing. FTCH, the best album.

[marcincupial24]

i fanow! :D x

[NiGHTMAREMMA]

Amazing.

[Karolcia1993]

omg, she look so beautiful at 00:32, amazing performance!

[ffincz]

@Karolcia1993 Well I think that actually she looks beautiful from 0:01 to 4:30 :D But yeah you're right, at 0:32 she's so hot.

przy okazji, pozdrawiam fankę :)

[ibenper]

@ffincz lol, was contemplating her beauty and stopped the snip at :32 before even reading comments... great minds think alike... great eyes catch beauty in all it's glory!

[seehowbraveyouare]

AMAZING! Love her~~~~

[ffincz]

Undoubtly the best raspberry swirl live ever <3

[ChrisCarter1983]

@ffincz i actually prefer this to the album version, that's how good this is.

[scwomanchangeling2]

I am not you senorita I am not from your tribe In the garden I did no crime !

[Imogence]

This song is so raunchy, yet beautiful. I love it.

[williamsethparker]

I have never seen a person sing and play two piannos at once. She is so talented and underated.

[bearmare]

@williamsethparker Ummm...Rick Wakeman did it many times. Keith Emerson made a career out of it. Tony Banks. Lots of players can do it. I can do it.

[Enquanto18]

actually playing 2 pianos at the same time is not rare at all. A lot of musicians combine the sound of the 2 instruments into the same keyboard and do a split or place one keyboard on top of the other. @williamsethparker

[noverdrive]

@Enquanto18 Ya, my live set has two keyboards on top of each other. Having them arranged as she does just seems awkward, but, whatever, she's famous and I'm not!

[thegoochieguy]

she looks so good with dark red hair!

lets forget the wigs of ADP era, and go back to this style!!!

[SilverLining333]

Matt Chamberlain on the drums.... unbelievable! He used to play for Pearl Jam before he joined with Tori.... Tori is not gay - she's been married to the same man for over 10 years... but I understand about what she's saying - wanting to protect your female friends from the mean guys of this world... I am 110% straight, but I have a hetero-crush on Tori! I think she's just sooo awesome and beautiful :-)

[chriswlowe]

Does she just ooze sex here, or what?

[LordRandal1990]

Love her and love this!!!

[klimpensonice]

when was this? :)

[missclareremembers]

I guess I'm a tori-lesbian now. Oh god.

[OpheliaLestrange]

nevermind, same here! xD

[bleuwinterwolf]

Nothing wrong with that!

[badtrinity72]

to all those debating this..... tori wrote this for her girlfriend who she was with at the time .... theres a performance where she explains all this ;)

[tenderbloodrose]

Nope..she's not gay or was gay..

She feels love for her girl friends..and protects them.

[wings4marie]

You are right,tenderbloodrose, but she still has the charm to make the rest of us gay. ;) Fucking hot!

[ceremony2007]

Maybe I´ve a different opinion of "moving" - but this audience seems kinda lame.. - and I LOVE Raspberry Swirl - but well, maybe they are just to cautious to show off some real whirling, dancing, headbanging.

[aaronthet]

OMG there so funny hahahaha oh no i pooped my self

[deathtouch100]

I love that response mistress,lol. She looks so goddamn sexy here. so talented, and should I say yummy too.

[MistressJoysquirt]

She and her music make my raspberry squirt......oops.., just had to say that. She gets so into what she is doing....I am sure she does everything good !

[rainbowsinmind]

Clitoris ???????????????????

[gettyup7]

Taken in a more general sense, Raspberry Swirl represents a wake-up call for those men out there who dont understand how to treat their female partners. A kind of, Look, guys, you all are so busy wrapped up in yourselves that you cant be there for a woman the way she deserves. In the meantime, we (women) are having to provide that for each other. If you want back into our sceneyou better learn to give more than you take.

[gettyup7]

Tori wrote Raspberry Swirl as a way to tell Beanieuntil you find the right man for you (and itll be a while because they are mostly little boys), Ill provide that kind of support, protection, company, and attention you need. And shes telling all of Beanies would-be suitors that they better give this girl what she needs and what she wants if you want to take anything else from her.

[4lfred20]

I want inside her well

[relfexreaction]

i find it so difficult understand her lyrics.......... like, what's the idea behind this song?

[sixthcrusifix]

I think the general consensus has to do with cunnilingus but no one knows for sure.

[relfexreaction]

oh man....

[mooglesama]

I think this song is about having sex with a woman while she is on her period. You cannot have a swirl unless there are two different colors in it. Swirls are generally a color with white. If you also listen to the lyrics, "if you want inside her/ well, boy, you better make a raspberry swirl," an interpretation of menstrual blood mixed with semen. Also, when "things are getting desperate, when all the boys can't be men," suggests that the transition of boyhood to manhood is losing virginity.

[relfexreaction]

no, no, no, i think you're taking it too far... :D

[mooglesama]

Lol, really? I don't think so. Most of her songs relate to gender and sexuality. ...just sayin'. =P It might be different if she said, "you better make *her* raspberry swirl," which could lead us to assume orgasm... but uh, yeah...

[relfexreaction]

but that's exactly what she says - or isn't it?

anyways, if i went with your theory of semen and blood, then it's more likely to be about breaking the hymen (not menstrual blood). correct? :)

[mooglesama]

That could work, too. I just know that not all girls bleed whenever the hymen is broken (by an account of one girl, so I don't know if I can count that).

I just know that some people, when they get desperate, will continue to have sex, even if there is a "dry season" going on.

[krissyk311]

i think you're way off. raspberry swirl = orgasm for sure, but you're completely leaving out the lesbian theme

"things are getting desperate,

when all the boys can't be men,

everybody knows, I'm a friend,

everybody knows, I'm her man."

Sometimes a man can't get the job done.

[tallchick16]

It DOES say that loll

[DemocraticTwang]

@mooglesama Erm, maybe but she explains the song before she sings it.. it's just cut out of this video.. look up "Tori Amos live Raspberry swirl + Tori Story." I think raspberry swirl stands for your heart, but you never know with Tori.

[mzzzhedison]

@mooglesama She sings "Make HER raspberry swirl", not "A raspberry swirl", so already I'm unable to conclude/agree with what you've written. I see your point though, but I don't think she's singing about period blood! IMO, I believe she's simply referring to the vulva as a raspberry, and 'swirl' is the act of making the woman feel joyous and pleasured in the moment of cunnilingus or metaphorically; life.

[itupamjr]

man this song makes me prouder of my sexuality......

[paulvesovich]

love her

[jedijs]

This is when she still looked like Tori.

[MartieK]

I agree, man she's changed so much.

[MathildaChai]

Hang on!

...

Okay, so everybody, uuuuup your asses!

:D

[vuckov97]

i think druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm­mmmmmsssssssssssssssssss

[anotherkindofbliss]

she never looked so beautiful... and i truely love that song.. hell this is so good... =)

[BoysForPele1989]

yes she did last week when I saw her in Austin and she played this song!!!!

[ffincz]

She looks fantastic here! What a concert!

[DisturbedHavok]

I remember seeing her live at Purdue in '99. This is the one song I remember vividly from that performance. The version she did there was extremely impressive with the dual keyboards, but her drummer instead used a steel drum. This version is really good, but I wish I could find that version somewhere.

[DisturbedHavok]

Ok, I was just too tired. he is playing a steel drum in this version too. My mistake.

[parislexie]

i used to sing this when i was around 6 yrs old! lol

[LadyNina33]

She makes me feel that it is worth being a woman...

[tallchick16]

best performance of this song

[rustysaur]

She's absolutely gorgeous inside and out.

[MizVanity]

This is the first song I've heard from Tori and I absolutely love it.. Can anyone recommend me some of her stuff like this that I might like?

[OpheliaLestrange]

I think this song is quite extraordinary, but you should try other songs from the Choirgirl Hotel album...you might like "iieee" :)

[MagellansUnderwear]

start at the beginning, it's great to watch/listen to her evolve as an artist.

[muskaat]

try "Siren"

[tommyb18]

God I fucking love this woman!

Shes a legend.

[MartieK]

Two pianos at once? What a legend.

[longlonggone]

My god she's sex on a piano stool in this video.

[sadgirlsforlife]

lmao... I could not have put it better myself :)

[StrangeLittleGirl4]
