Tori Amos - Miracle

[Aerialgrrl]

I loved ADP. Tori being Bruce Springsteen, sure, why not?

[janotosinnumeros]

@Aerialgrrl I can't tell if you've been ironic or not

[Aerialgrrl]

@janotosinnumeros Actually I wasn't, for once. Truly, I've been a fan from the get-go and ADP is one of my favourite albums.

[4youglencoco]

This is quite pretty. The Violet's Eyes demo is beautiful and somber, while this one feels more like the actual "running/chase" theme. The speaker of the song is chasing the miracle, and the music deceptively hides the sadness of the lyrics.

[geminiboy99]

love this song - wish it would have been included on the album. 

[ForPele1979]

i think it's amazing too!

[ForPele1979]

i think it's amazing too!

[Yetaxa]

I don't care cheesy this is. It's amazing. This is Tori's mature cheese :D

[paysagebleu]

violet's eyes is so much better than this : /

[sickofwaitingtables]

Violet's eyes FTW!

[inexcelsis17]

This was scrapped for "Posse Bonus"??? Unbelievable... Much prefer the demo version, too.

[kundalinisw]

This is terrible. Its a cheesy version of the 1997 demo which is completely better.

[janknuckey]

Wow! I've listened to Violet's Eyes and now Miracle...love them both. It's like some days you want sorbet and some days you want lobster, to quote the lady herself

[vins1979]

Guys!!! Pls check 'Violet's Eye', the demo of the 'primitive' version of 'Miracle': it's a wonderful song!

[MademoiselleSwann]

Wow, what a rush! I am the opposite of spanishclashstream74: I quit listening to Tori Amos after 'The Beekeeper.' This takes me completely by surprise. @ the28th, did you make this slide show? It's a beautiful work of art in itself. I swear I don't know why she has always left some of her most affecting songs off the albums. Thanks for posting!

[janknuckey]

I agree!!! An absolute classic and should have gone on the album. I know she bangs on and on about Honey not getting on UTP but this is just as big a crime....should have gone on ADP.

[mouthofknives]

"she's gone country" look out CMT!

[lafko79]

just another pop song, nothing special. What happend to old good Tori?

[LordRandal1990]

This is one of the best songs of the ADP era, really can't understand how it could have been put out of the album!!!! It's fantastic, far bettere than most of the cd's tracks!!!

[MariaSorok]

the song is outstanding! So bright, so fascinating! i listen to it when want to excite myself, to inspire myself!

[fecalfoetus]

Tori's talent is alsmost unparalled & i've been listening to her since the very start of her career, all mastepieces upto Scarlet's Walk., there were some good songs on beekeeper, but it feels somethin is missing then on, n i don;t gove a hoot on her appearence changes as long as the music intoxicates, for me Boys for Pele is the favourite, though my wife says the last album is better than Amercian Doll, does she now perform live like before? i've not been fortunate to go a show

[Reaver4k]

@fecalfoetus I'd say it's worth going to a show. It can never be the same as 15 years ago or 10 years but it's still great. Especially to hear her play some favourites live.

[vins1979]

Wow guys, this song is so touching, the voice so delicate, the piano so crazy... I really don't understand why she didn't put it in the record... I simply love this song....

[TomModernMedia]

Amazing :-]

[spanishclashstream74]

WOW! ..and i hadn't listened Tori Amos before...Today!!!!!!! ^ ^

[janotosinnumeros]

@spanishclashstream74 pff, you have a long way to go (that I guess you've already gone through, since your comment was last year xD ;)

[Smoohah]

I am more of a classic Tori fan, but this song is awesome. Her eyes still strike my soul!!

[Datura90]

Nice!! :)

[domWWW]

sweet!

[goldtoof77]

all the b-sides can be foundon hereinmyhead.com

[walldreams]

How do I get this song? I love it! Can't find it on itunes or any singles for the ADP album. I look all the time. I also want 'Not David Bowie' but that song has been pulled from the piano collection. Why are the b-sides so hard to get now even on the web? By the way thank you for giving us this.

[argentoo]

e-mail me

[NutsAboutHarry]

i LOVE this song...

[kana95789]

i find that tori is more for writing abulms than just songs. she carefully places her songs to follow a theme. this abulm was diffrent in a way since there were diffrent themes, since it was her diffrent inner selves. this song would have done well i think, however to tori itr musty have not quite fit so she decided not to put it, wish she would have though

[Genevieve0979]

I love this song, wish it was on the album I think girl dissapearing is my favorite song on it. I know what it is like to be multi so to speak, and perhaps that is why Tori has always been my favorite artist... I find her outward multiplicity has helped me through a lot in life, her music is more than just songs...

[Fjoln]

i listen to it every day. great

miracle miracle  she's run from all the judges in her favorite dress:-D

[wyguy3]

i like this b-side, i enjoy "drive all night" a lot more, i wonder what posse sings what

[davidvonbarany]

My Posse can do - Santa

Miracle - Tori and Clyde

Drive all night - Santa and Isabel

[winter5alex]

How did you know the last two?

[davidvonbarany]

From the Wikipedia's Doll Posse article.

[winter5alex]

Thanks for the info!

[RSVibe]

Is that really solid information? I mean, Wikipedia's not really a reliable source. Anyone can put that information there. :/

and I always would have thought Clyde sang 'Drive All Night' lol :)

[beeLIEvePeaceBitch]

I am happy Tori is allowing us to understand 'her' as a complex female. It's a lovely song. I think it's a Clyde song. Thank you for posting.

[NoLaTa]

One thing I dont like on ADP is Pip. I really don't understand her music, but what's wrong is in me.

I thik that Toris songs has always been, and will always be deep. It's just that this album has got those all persons in Tori, and some of those are just.. Different that Tori self. It's hard to explain. But still, some of the songs on ADP are the "real Tori" Like Almost rosey etc.

[orangegirlred]

There is something for everyone in her entire roster of song. think about it how many does she have now a hundred? I think people forget how hard it is to make a song in the first place let alone that many. She is a inspiration. There is only 1 I don't love on ADP. Body & Soul.

[vins1979]

Fantastic song! I don't know why it's a B-side: it sounds so much better than many other songs in ADP. I agree with who claims this latest album is not as good as the previous ones. Many "nice" songs, but none of them is "WOW". And I really think that the "Beekeeper" is a misunderstood masterpiece: complex and metaphoric!

[WickedLttleTown]

oh i definitely think there are some "WOW" songs on here. almost rosey, smokey joe, dragon, digital ghost all do it for me, among other. and i would not reduce smokey joe or code red to simply "nice" either

[saltywounds]

which one of the posse sang this? sounds Santa-ish

[WickedLttleTown]

i dont think the bonus songs have official doll assignments, but my guess for this one would be either santa or possibly isabel (but maybe im alone)

santa does sing "my posse can do" a lot at the concerts tho

[pianogem]

i find that making a playlist sepparating the songs by girls really brings out the difference in each and the similarities and relationships of some. You get to really hear some difference in the voice too, some girls have a slight accent it seems..

[poesiemauw]

she used to sound vulnerable but now it sounds just plain to me

[pianogem]

shes not vulnerable anymore...

[Hereinmyhead102]

But on anther note, Her piano playing has really become very fine tuned and her vocal control is beyond

excellent. I Really prefer toris live shows compared to stupid recordings. Some ppl Make great studio cd's but suck live. tori makes pretty good studio cd's and Her live shows always gives 200%

[pianogem]

she still makes great cds it would just be great for her to use another producer, once..specially with this album. I have my theories on how the concept of this album and the songs and everything thats been going on in her career since she started at epic and how it relates to "Tori Amos" I have a feeling we wont be seeing her anymore...but we may get a brunette named Myra..

[maaikoekie]

Yeah, after listening to ADP when it had just come out and then seeing her in concert, i got the feeling this is sort of Goodbye from her. Or at least the end of an era. It made me sad.

[Fjoln]

as a fanatic Tori fan I can't accept what you say. Tori's been always the best for me. it's a fact that scarlet's walk and beekeeper was quite similar(ok and beekeeper was a bit boring)but I knew that it was just a relaxing period for her. with this album Tori's back with full force:-) wake up it's the 21st century.

[iggypop2020]

which character sings this? I am putting my money on Santa. But I havent heard the whole thing

[belljar]

I'm sorry but you are really wrong about that. Her voice is so much better now. Her voice has more depth to it now. When she was younger she could break glass. LOL

[mdion20]

this song sould be part of ADL..is the best song from new album...her voice has been change after her 40's...but the quality is still there...I LOVE TORI

[belljar]

This is not the 1990's anymore. This is good for the new Tori. Artists are not going to do the same thing over and over again that would make them a robot not a human being.

[Hereinmyhead102]

i miss the old tori with the release of adp. i can stay its been three cds in a row i have not liked, im not saying

there are not good songs but few and far in between.

what ever happened the pele and before tori where i liked almost every song. maybe im just old now. lol

[Fjoln]

as a fanatic Tori fan I can't accept what you say. Tori's been always the best for me. it's a fact that scarlet's walk and beekeeper was quite similar(ok and beekeeper was a bit boring)but I knew that it was just a relaxing period for her.

with this album Tori's back with full force:-)

wake up it's the 21st century.

[Hereinmyhead102]

I really do with tori was back to full force as i see it. Instead of making the music scene , she seems to be going more and more main stream with little hints of the old tori songsmith style. It truley has very little to do with the music. It has to do with the content of the song lyrics. adp is the best cd since SLG. Im just tryin to say i could do with some more depth to the songs and some of the passion from the early stuff wouldnt hurt either.

[poesiemauw]

i agree with you himh102 :]

[pianogem]

ur missing the concept, this is all done on purpose, its part of the concept. shes not dumb, shes an artist and her craft is music. the lyrics have depth, there are things there you are missing, she's just been writitng differently for years and people cant seem to grasp that. She stopped being so so sooo deep when she dropped from atlantic.

[pianogem]

this album is fantastic, I have a feeling the beekeeper will make more sense in retrospect. She DID say she was going to do something shes never done before. Personally, after watching the aol sessions, I cant WAIT for the tour. She's written some really good songs this time and has put together another great album.

[sam1811]

I disagree and I really don't understand how you can say her new material doesn't have depth or passion. It's maybe more radio friendly but I don't think it's totally main stream and imo it's a very natural record- i.e. her songs are about expression rather than an attempt to sell records which is why her subject matter is changing. Tori isn't just a good songwriter, she's one of the best. This song is good, bit I can get why it's a B-side, it wouldn't fit anywhere on ADP imo.
