Tori Amos Icicle Live

[sTapleEVA]

the most soul piercing song about masterbation ever

[ravishinglylow]

Love.

[tepettis]

I like to turn all the icicles into bicycles.

[docjolley]

Awful. And I don't mean full of awe.

[psychocolate]

song to jerk off to

[guitarlvrify]

this song mad me luv tori soogreaaat11!! i wish i was a piano bench

[headcut2007]

she looks like she riding cock with out the cock

[bairdduvessa]

even better than the album version...

[jaminryan22]

shes just encapsulated in this. its a beautiful thing, music. Crazy how it transforms people.

[Smudgey711]

holy shit... Love the emotion and passion in this song!!

[FzNd]

This is.... I don't know. Leaves me speechless...

[MrWerdna66]

She has to be one of the most talented piano players of present times

[efkagore]

...the feeling...when you play the piano...just like you are possessed by the devil...i loooove to feel it every time...once again...and again...and again...where is my mind...ask myself...where, where...there, honey, there...uhmmm...

[zenbudhism]

@efkagore thought it was just me : )

[frugalmumma]

@efkagore Passion and raw emotion is not the "devil". Evil/ Devil etc is hurtful and cruel. Enjoy your playing:)

[efkagore]

@frugalmumma ;) would you believe that it hurts sometimes? Music is an universal language...all emotions in one...anyway, "the devil" was just a metaphor... :) Tori 4Ever

[eagle180181]

ChiLLssss <3

[evred47]

Just Immaculate on every conceivable level! X

[frugalmumma]

@evred47 That sums up what I was thinking- thanks I couldn't find the words, but you did.

[PerezHilton]

Genius is a word that fails to describe Tori Amos! She is better than that!

[padajneseri1]

Yes it is!!! I'ts better than an orgasm!!!

[1coffeecup]

One of the most talented artist ever.....Her voice is so powerful and elegant!!!

[Uglynikki00]

This song is so awesome"

I love how she sings it, every piece is absolutely spectacular...

[jack887]

Thanks for posting this breathtaking footage of a goddess on earth.

[matteroftime89]

Oh my God...... I'm speechless. She is perfect, Her drama, her fears, her inside monsters became pure music! Love Tori forever!!

[PhotoProvo]

Breathtaking. She got it right.

[slivertoe]

This tempo in this version is so quick and driving. I love it!

[JohnBaxterly]

Holy shit, the way she does the bridge in this video is beyond amazing...

[AbsoluteApril]

she is amazing

[TinnyLinda]

Ah, Tori. Healing torn hearts since the 90's

[them0sthappy]

HES IN MY PUMPKIN PJS...

[Bindie09]

I never get tired of Tori!

[flotty200726]

blowing my mind..... : D

[friedegbert]

Tori is ever so good! I first heard this song years ago on CD but it's good to see her perform. I might have to get into a bit of this "touches myself" stuff just to enter into the spirit of things....

[TzeffNL]

@friedegbert Huh??? What was that??? "...get into a bit of this "touches myself" stuff just to enter into the spirit of things...."? What do you mean???

[Imxoneofthefallen]

2:09.

hottest.fucking.lip bite. EVER.

Tori Amos is a Goddess.

Not to mention this performance is

truely breath taking.

[glennwith2nns]

you know she seducing her man with the Chicken Tetrazini!

[oleyaify]

can't stop loving this song!

[ravynkat]

that note at 2:16 is ungodly! woo! :)

[TheEmanuelTop]

Hey *Tori*,

Ich wusste damals bei "Crucify" schon das du was drauf hast!Bei dieser Live Version stehen alle Nackenhaare zu Berge!......Yes!

Ich liebe diese eine Minute 4.05 -5.05 ! Wahnsinn!! Let it go!

[klimpensonice]

I think it's about female sexuality and how christianity has made sexuality shamefull, especially for women. If you listen to Tori and know anything about her the meaning of this song is pretty clear.. I only sad one meaning but ofc there is a lot more to it!!

[mariusursaciuc]

super melody, thanks a lot Hereinmyhead102 for this vid...

[dkangelmykal]

of course she gets off on her music! wouldn't you if you could sing/play like that! Don't you tingle just a little bit...

[o0datura0o]

it's NOT just about masturbation obviously. "Greeting the monster in our Easter Dresses.Father says bow your head like the good book says. well.. i think the good book is missing (few)or (some) pages.....

[Maegrauko]

And when my hand touches myself,

I can finally rest my head.

And when they take from his body,

I think I'll take from mine instead,

Getting off, getting off while they're all downstairs.

[aeronyth]

goosebumps.

[blt1212121]

the song is about masturbation. i think the chair is the point. i think she gets off on her music.

[TheBSG]

I'm pretty sure she's rubbing herself on that chair, what the fuck?

[1405Rammstein]

Einfach nicht in Worte zu fassen ...... so schön !!!! Thx

[TheSouthernorycle]

Ive never wanted to be a piano bench more in all my life.

[VhimV]

agreed  :)

[drubalino]

Adorava tanto essa epoca. Esse estilo. Pq mudar tanto :( ?

[Monicasky]

god Tori, no one makes me feel more then her...and well the songs topic...if you say you dont your lying *wink*

[iloveseattle123]

lol nice

[nmheart]

OMG!  You are hilarious!

[silversofva]

hehe I know it appears she always needs to go to bathroom or her undies are riding up

[enjoyhiseverysmile]

i only wonder... do you know what is this song about? ^^" maybe that would clear something up.

[TheBSG]

Masturbation.

[vkotis]

the only thing i don't like about when she plays live is that she changes the way the songs go. her songs are so great! a pianist and awesome singer.

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

ah they don't write tunes like that anymore. if i could be hypercritical tho, it would be better without the rasping. her voice is so pure, it's a detraction.

[greenmonkeyfr]

Well the raspiness you hear is actually Tori's voice. Back in 1994-1998 her voice was so pure , but the voice is a delicate instrument and it wears down over time... hence the raspiness you hear. :)

[TheSouthernorycle]

the "raspiness" is on purpose. Its a singing technique called "grit". It can be very destructive to the vocal cords. If done properly however, it can be as easy on your vocal cords as regular singing.

[biggabob]

I love this song, so sexy and innocent all at the same time.

[AFHotOne]

Tori Amos is the Mozart of our time. Hundreds of years from now, people will still be fascinated with her provocative musical art

[stefanorossi777]

i so agree with you on that AFHotOne.

she is a total genius and legend of her times....

[david57strat]

Agreed.  Gifted, soulful pianist, singer and songwriter. She's got the goods.

[APerfectDayElise]

@AFHotOne

I love Tori....but Mozart? c'mon, get real. lol. Pushing it just a tad bit.

[silkpill]

@AFHotOne you're so right

[jcavale]

@AFHotOne It is no exaggeration!

[999Ivana]

I'm fascinated...She's truly magical women....

[demonspawn222]

Damn

[stefanorossi777]

this is true Tori territory...and i agree with what others have said in here...she can't be labelled...she has her own genre/style...a brilliant artist....

[StrangeLittlePoet123]

pretty much my favorite version of icicle bar the original version

[66NIN66]

*goooooosebuuumpssss*

[Strikeowl]

Beyond beautiful. Thank you for posting this.

[friedeworldwide]

One of the rare cases of a true artist in the realm of s.c. "pop-music". Actually, she doesn't deserve to be put in that category...she's her own category. Simple, modest, authentic...touching and moving yet not sentimental. An intelligent musician who heals the heart, the world. Thanks, Tori

[lebasike]

oh my god , i like this so much....

[CelticRaE19]

tori's music is like the comfort of warm blankets on a cold winters morning

[speccyride]

that is so true, cldnt hav put it bette myself

[ispanico23]

....god's voice.........

[revolveroundmusic]

every time I've seen her live happy tears fell and I could not keep the smile off my face.

[mymusicnotfionas]

"When my hand touches myself I can finally rest my head.." Love it. It doesn't mirror my feelings PERFECTLY but I still love that she is honest so much.

[bengalgirl]

WOW, breath taking and moving performance! This woman is so amazing!

[boguspomp31]

fascinating ....

[jenea4279]

getting off while they're all down stairs...Tori is amazing...lostinsimulation said it perfectly!

[indrakamala]

This sound just hurts my heart... SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! Gosh, I just ADORE THE TOOR!

[ZILCH7]

When i die , i have one wish , that is to be reincarnated as Tori's piano seat ....c'mon God make it happen !

[FM897]

heh. you're funny. i understand. i'd do her

[ENeithneYA]

I love her so madly.

[christopherlands]

what an incredible example of the human spirit at it best - I'm speechless.

[lostinsimulation]

i've never heard masturbation referenced so elegantly

[livinlvis]

@lostinsimulation Yes, the music is beautiful but a bit adolescent given her age.

[mermaidofsuburbia]

@livinlvis Duh, it's written from the viewpoint of a child getting off..."he's in my pumpkin pj's"  - get it?

[Frozen7201]

@livinlvis actually this is one of the harder songs to play, if played correctly.

[livinlvis]

@Frozen7201 I meant the subject, not the music...I would never mean to knock her abilities as a composer - or singer.

[Silversproduction]

All I have to say is damn she is sexy. Her voice, her form, her body language. Good god.

[epeiricess]

Sister you are so beautiful. The Piano is a perfect example of picturesqueness, Icicle I see you being scorched by the sun. Unbelievable performance with her husky voice there.

[Jade1003]

it's sad, the kind of genious this woman has is so strong it borders on insanity. I doubt she'll ever be appreciated for her birlliance in her time... just like many others before her

[indrakamala]

I think she is GREATLY appreciated for her brilliance... why else so many fa... er... ears with feet? ;) I just adore her for her brilliance and everything else!

LOVE THIS VIDEO! My all time fav. Tori-vid!

Love to Tori!!!!

[ToriAmos2008]

Lol she is definatley appreciated, her fans are dedicated to the extreme.

[shebrksmysiren]

Borders insanity? It is more like spiritually fit and connected to the universe in ways most will never know. This woman is aware.

[shebrksmysiren]

Borders insanity?  More like supremely spiritually fit. This woman is connected to the Universe more than most will ever know.

[Evethemagnificent]

so true

[KeevayMusic]

FLUFFLE-O...the Strange Piano Sing-Along from Mysterious CATMAN COHEN...

"Fluffle-O, Fluffle-O

Marshmallow, Marshmallow

Fluffle-O, Fluffle-O

Where'd you go, Where'd you go?"

[Dubh86]

I've got the horn now. Whew.

[SphereStack]

This makes me comfortably numb.

[redluck13]

handsdown one of my favorite live performance.

[coachchris71]

great song. I would sing this song as a lullaby for my daughter when she was little.

[concertina119]

Do you know what the song is about?! Isn't realy appropriate for a child...

[icicle83]

My jam!! hence my user name..lol

[Slewenski]

ooh...this sounds really nice i dont know her but this is soo soothening..and stuff..aah.. |-3

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

Love the vocal adlib at the beginning... icicle was best on the strange little tour, IMHO. Love Tori.

[munuto]

i have loved tori amos since before i was born...my mom put headphones of her music on her belly while she was pregnant with me...

[Oranjeappel]

has that made you intelligent like Mozart music? ;-)

[tanjentsdotcom]

eerie vers(def)

[munuto]

wow. this is her best song. i used to think that hey jupiter was her best, but i was very wrong...

[symbolt]

I like the intro improvisations she does is this song at concerts.

[JTGOB2]

"Icicle", "Yes, Anastasia" and "Space Dog" are probably my faovrite 3 from her

[Scartletswalk]

Space Dogs!! so your an under the pink girl, space dogs is my fav on that CD.

[prettygoodyear]

While the video itself is annoying to watch due to the shaky camera and all, this perfomance of Icicle is Tori's best, by far. I really, really enjoy every bit of it.

[firelied]

Yaaah! Oh... Woah -I just realised what she's singing about! That's awesome, I love songs about touching X3

She has a lovely, interesting voice. She is like this generations kate bush.

[tinkerer2003]

She has such an enchanting soul and her performance is very mystically majestic****

[srussel459]

unreal!

[pumpkinpjays]

I have a hiding place when spring marches in

[gutlover33uk]

true talent

[xsldja]

amazing.

[SloppyCheeseFinger]

quick question .

when she sings " i could of, i should have" what is it that she should of done?

[clitorides]

Flown, you know.

[SloppyCheeseFinger]

ah , i getcha =)

[SloppyCheeseFinger]

oh, wait, i didnt realise she said "flown away". sily me. thanks

[SheIsRisen13]

lol...that was funny

[clitorides]

Everyone always asks me since I'm such a big Tori fan, what certain songs are about. And I tell them..I have no fucking clue..but it's nice to interpret them into what you think they mean personally. Either way..Tori is amazing..and what's this about happy tori songs? Lol..those are few and far between, but her music is the best of the best.

[davidvonbarany]

Anyway, I think Smokey Joe and Code Red is also about her rape, and Velvet Revolution is about her miscarriages.

[MrFyodor]

This may be the best version of Icicle ever.

[smileyy93]

this song is really amazing.besides,she´s real good at playing piano...

[deathbyhaiku]

yeah... this song has nothing to do with her rape. maryana, you're probably one of those people who thinks a sorta fairytale is a happy song too.

[swimminglyfilms]

"I think the Good Book is missing some pages,"

[swimminglyfilms]

How can she play the piano with her legs so far apart?

She is amazing, though

[88lilgirl]

this song reminds me of when im upstairs having phone sex with my boyfriend and my parents have no idea its going on.

[MaryanaS01]

that's great

this song was written about when she was raped as an 8 year old by someone in her church dear

[jjw22]

anyone can interpret any song anyway they want !!!!! get over yourself !!!

[MaryanaS01]

i was stating a fact

i dont recall saying NO! U CAN ONLY SEE IT THIS WAY!

maybe it's u who has to get over yourself

that's what the song is about, i decided to let her know

[lesbianloveoflita]

No this song is about her masturbating upstairs while her parents where down stairs at a bible study. The song about her rape is Me and a Gun just like underthepink11 said. So in a way 88lilgirl is closer to being right in a way.

[88lilgirl]

To me the lyrics have a positive meaning. To me this song says it's ok for me to have sexual feelings without feeling immoral. That's just the way the lyrics touched me. I knew she was raped but I didn't know that's why this song was written. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got a positive meaning from this song.

[MaryanaS01]

nah i know what u mean, many would have

[underthepink11]

i just made a you tube account just to respond to this comment and correct any misconception. this song was not written about her rape. 'me and a gun' was. and her rape happened around the age of 20 by an aquaintance at the piano bar she worked at.

the song 'icicle' is based on the fact that when tori was young she had a crush on jesus and always found him to be physically appealing. it's also about being sexual liberated from some of the oppressed views of the christian faith...

[chimera2007]

goddess

[gaziranavodica]

beautiful.

[memoriesinphotos]

shes so inspiring

[superlalloz]

I love this mad woman.

[wjrwebber]

love it

[gebaum]

Absolutely wonderful and intensive. Thank You for sharing her great art with us!

[Snobert]

fuck me, her voice is so pure

[alittlepassion]

beautiful song, great performance.
