Tori Amos - Me and a gun (xerxes 2004 remix)

[xtinaluver1]

i loved this remix until he skipped some of my fav parts like "just remember" and "tell me whats right, is it my right to be on my stomach of fredsevill?" btw dont know if i spelled fresevill right, and the 3rd verse where she says "do you know carolina...etc"

[AquarianWidow]

this remix is just fantastic

[Hippiewitch89]

smooth...

[MMVF19]

This song is a story about a violation which had Tori when she was 21.

[ANJI66ify]

Teenagers are still children. In regards to the comment of comparing rape to a breakup, I took from it a person who is young and whose only experience to pain and loss is a breakup. AGAIN, were talking about a child here.

[ANJI66ify]

Think back to when you were a teenager. Not all people are given the tools to know where to seek help. Not all people feel safe telling mom and dad about a rape that more than likely they feel is their fault.

[ANJI66ify]

It is not for us to say who is just or unjust in their attempts to explore an "outside" source for help, comfort, or even small solace such as a YouTube video with a stream of judgmental assholes.

[karaiguana]

Don't make your personal experience anything other than what it was.. No remixes.. You singing makes it clear..Whatever this is pierces my eardrums.. Just like it real Tori, like you always give it.. xoxox

[karaiguana]

Me and a Gun should be kept simple.. I'm a huge Tori fan. Keep it the same Tori..

[KindredSpirit38]

Wiiosten: I wonder just what it is that you lack in humanity that pushes you to such insensitivity toward another woman who says she has just been raped. You sound like someone who has NEVER been abused... or someone who is so shut down so as to be incapable of empathy. In either case, your response to someone in pain is pathetically lacking basic humanitarian spirit. Very sad ... for you more than anyone else.

[himselfe]

@KindredSpirit38 You're completely misinterpreting what Wiiosten was saying. Casting doubt on such an obvious cry for attention isn't being insensitive or inherantly unempathetic. In fact, giving credence to what appears to be a cry for attention would be being insensitive towards the countless other people who have experienced real trauma who don't run around the net with a neon sign saying "look at me I've been raped" 3 hours later.

[himselfe]

@KindredSpirit38 Going on YouTube and announcing to the world is like going into a bar full of strangers and telling the whole bar. It's just not the way somebody who's only just experienced a traumatic event behaves.

If xPURPLExKILLERx had genuinely been raped then she's going about getting help the wrong way, and being a pretentious bleeding heartedness isn't going to help her overcome the distress of what she's experienced.

[MegCarry]

Good job on the song. >As for the comments, everyone is somehow personal when they write on websights. I'm really late on the topic. But doesn't anyone feel hypocritical? Whether Purple was raped, or even if not, there is NO manual to how people respond to life. If there was no resource behind coming up on a place like YouTube to say anything, then it wouldn't exist. And yes, everyone can feel how they want on the subject at hand. Its called, free speech. If you don't want to listen, don't

[ICatGirl1995]

@MegCarry Probably getting everything way off topic, but I wish there were more people who would say 'there is NO manual to how people respond to life.'

[ICatGirl1995]

It's such a beautiful song. It's so emotional and deep...

[Tristanique]

I never thought this song could be THAT beautiful and touching, I was wrong and now happy about that.

[ilovetroyramos]

sad song .. i havent been raped but i have been mulasted when i was 9 from my mums ex bf..son song he fingerd me and he got away with it and no im fucked in the head by tht for life

[Wiiosten]

@ purple killer: ... you just got raped, and you came on youtube to talk about it? and it feels like a break up? ... so many people say they've been raped just for attention... it pushes people who really have been into the background. and it's not cute.

[babyreneejst]

@Wiiosten ...I completely agree....my sister was raped by my father...and i hate it when people lie about getting raped...cause rape is not something to joke around about.

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

@babyreneejst

i did not lie about what happened to me. but i dont need any further explanation to something that has actually happened to me. it's actaully pretty sad that other women think im lying about something that traumatizeez women all over the world.woemn are supposed to help each other when rape happens to them. im only a teenage girl, and i just wanted some help.

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

@Wiiosten

what. you probably have no idea what i wen tthrough. it's so vivid in my head, and in my nigh terrors. it's so disgusting. the feeling, the memory. it makes me want to RE-live my life. i whsh that was earased my my life.the pain is so harsh, i wish i could forget it all at once. there is NOTHING cute about what i said. it happened 6 months ago. and i just wanted help from other women that had probably gone thoght the same thing that i went though. consolation. that's all

[Wiiosten]

@xPURPLExKILLERx

Lol... I have no idea what you went through? *shakes head* wish that were true kiddo. If you're looking for help, youtube is NOT the place to look for it, and that you'd come here 3hrs after and make this really makes me doubt it happened. there are many support groups online that are just a google away, but you chose to parade it here? and so soon after? I highly doubt it. posting on youtube was the LAST thing on my mind.

[BoadieMcLeod]

@Wiiosten Excuse me, but I used to work for a rape crises center and I can tell you that every woman responds differently to rape. Just because she didn't respond the same way you did (and I'm sorry to hear about that) doesn't mean she's lying. I've personally met with women RIGHT AFTER they were raped, and most are remarkably calm. Why *wouldn't* a teenage girl be posting on You Tube 3 hrs later? What is she "supposed" to be doing at that time? She said she has no friends. Jerk.

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

@Wiiosten

i think about it everyday even though i dont want to.what has happened to me has stained my life with horror and disgust. i wish i could go back in time and re-do everything. and yes, it did feel liek a break up, an ever lasting one.by that i meant that my heart has been broken and i feel as if there is no cure to fix it. it's a TERRIBLE feeling i can asure you that.i am a teen girl and i had no one to talk to 6 months ago, and i still don't im very solitary and i wish i had someone

[seeg1760]

@Wiiosten maybe she was! shut ur stupid mouth before you assume ppl jus say anything for the hell of it. if she wasnt who cares! but im sure telling her she prob wasnt cause she "just came on youtube to talk about it" wouldnt help if she was. dont got nothing constructive to say, disregard it. its sometimes easier for ppl to talk about it in an anonymous environment. too many ppl that dont believe is whats wrong with the world and as for ppl who make up stuff for attenton...are just plain sad.

[theCyberHawk]

An incredible song.

[Boocheyy]

this song is so remarkeably moving

[amosquake]

Compliments!

[xx902]

this is so beautiful i cant even take it

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

i was raped about 3 hours ago..fuckk..i feel terrible.....i feel like dying... can't stop crying...

[L3ntzy]

I'm kinda speachless...

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

i am without speech....

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

fuck, but really....it hurts a lot it feels as if ive just been thru a break up :'\

[L3ntzy]

I am so sorry...:-<

[Wiiosten]

@xPURPLExKILLERx

... a breakup? really? you're comparing rape to a break up. how degrading. I'm insulted.

[babyreneejst]

@xPURPLExKILLERx ...im sorry but although this was written six months ago,.....and im going to write this as if i was writing it 6 months ago...i dont believe u got raped 3 hours ago...and if u did...you probably wouldnt be on youtube listening to music.

[opusdei7777]

absolutely ... masterpiece

[legennd3]

wow she got raped for real, thats pretty fucked up

[strumph18]

So chill...the perfect symestry for my mood...

[iloveyouneji]

this song is so beautifully sad...

5/5

[legennd3]

this is top stuff yo.. you made the beat yourself from scratch? good job!

[Paganiqua]

i cant understand why people never read the describtion.

[L3ntzy]

Yeah me neither... :)

[toriani9]

i always loved both, tori's acapella version and xerxes's remix! they both sound great! I think Tori doesn't really mind having this song remixed by a 3rd party. this song even has a cover by amanda palmer (dresden dolls)

I think Tori is way over the rape experience, and when she performs it now it comes from a more safe and strong spiritual place . That's just my opinion.

[Paganiqua]

i have to say .. this is brilliant - for me this makes the song more sad and dramatic ..

[sinsuality1]

I agree with you Gypsyrox. I think this is a particular song, a way for Tori to exorcize her pain, it's "sacred" in a way. And even if it's musically very beautifull it's bad taste.

[Hampish88]

You dont think Xerxes appreciates Tori? He loves the song so much he made a remix of it. Isnt that the ultimate contribution, to give something from yourself to others.

[gypsyrox]

Honestly though, who does a remix of a song about rape?? It's pretty, but at in my eyes at least, it totally diminishes the power of the song. Her acapella vocals and the power in just them alone is why the song is so powerful. I really find this in just horrible bad taste.

[L3ntzy]

it's just a mix...in my opinion...it doesn't changes the subject of Tori's accapela...

[psytramp]

perfect remix

[PinkDay333]

i like this song its so sad :)

[Murdercupcake]

Poor Tori, she made this after a terrible thing :'C

[L3ntzy]

yes i know...that's makin' it so good

[tandemwexley]

Xerxes really is amazing, and this track is his most chill / delicious IMO . I'm so glad this is on youtube!

[Marupietis]

[kylegreerrocks]

Listen to klute "our leader", it's another great remix of this song, if you like it a bit more pacy and atmospheric that is.

[L3ntzy]
