Tori Amos - Silent All These Years

[markfundingsland]

She makes me loins quiver!!!

[dancebrought2u]

This song saved me in middle school....and still does. love you tori!

[pinkyplonk1]

she is a mermaid, she's got Ariel hair!

[teddypantelas]

great performance.

[whiteeye212]

why is she touching the piano that way at the end of the song?

[fred10538]

@whiteeye212 She is waiting for the piano to stop vibrating - signaling the true end of the song.

[charlyluissss]

@whiteeye212 Because she calls the piano " my girlfriend " and she loves it !

[rayzars]

I like to give everyone a try. I like some rock, rap, grudge, hiphop, opera, country, folk, techno, blue grass just about anything really(except scream probably). But I've watched three of her vids/song and don't see anything special. Lyrics/vocals/melody nothing really impressive to me.

[Vavazelus]

My breath taking away!

[iamdrumgod]

I love Tori, but I dislike this particular slurring performance greatly. Sorry.

[15Blowfish]

why is she asian in this...

[ticklebug]

I just don't understand why we all cannot appreciate Tori Amos without hating other artists?

[teijatuulia]

like teardrops... she makes her pianos sing among her.

[19gummi84]

Why is she singing it like shes retarded? What's with all the pausing? My sccccreeeeam....lol stupid.

[TotallyTwistedSick]

@19gummi84 You have no sense for music at all, or so it would seem.

[lbjb247]

I never tire of this song- I had the pleasure of seeing Tori live last year and it was amazing

[jimmy56100]

This song is boring and lame.

[jimmy56100]

Dumb bitch dissed metal.

[grechers1]

she can make me cry

[rololoo]

I think this is her best song

[iprithvi]

is she licking the mic here?

[huskvarsm]

If i where blind and deaf and god gave me one chance to hear and see for a short time i would want to hear and see tori her music makes you think about life and her beauty makes you instantly fall in love with her.

[chrisgriffin22]

Shes really fucking hot here..

[lolaleigh77]

This video is so funny to see because you can tell it was from a time when they were to trying to pigeon-hole her as a pop artist. Which she totally is not. That's why we, at least I, love her. This seems so ....off. But a great thing to see from a music history perspective. :) Also, this is almost 20 years old!!! Holy Mother, I feel old.

[justshutupification]

stop hating lady gaga, jost enjoy the music, by the way she's cute. how old is she?:)

[JessyismeXD]

@justshutupification 47.

[TheMofos123]

@justshutupification she's 48.

[TheWolfcub01]

Lady Gaga is desperately attempting to imitate the way someone who is a true genius, like Tori, comes across to most people which is lil odd or weird perhaps sometimes misinterpreted as aloof or pretentious to some and poorly in my opinion. Many people mistake the way genius makes them feel as as though they are pretentious and that's without being blessed with oodles of raw talent as well maybe leading one to assume she would be.........

[ticklebug]

@TheWolfcub01 That is your opinion. But if you don't mind, you sound way too much like the crowd that says Tori desperately tries to copy Kate Bush.

Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Lady Gaga.... I never understand why all these ladies are compared against one another. Nobody's copying anything. They are all very unique. So make sure you have a deep understanding of the artists if you want to be taken seriously?

[blablaat]

I think she's become very pretentious. She doesn't age well, mentally.

[jjbad37]

not enough swag

[xiamengbaby]

Though I can't often handle listening to a whole cd of hers because she gets too moody or whatever, she is very good. She has a lot of talent. Just think how popular she could be if she just wrote dancy pop tunes and waltzed around the stage wearing a fish net, saran wrap, beef steak and a couple of champagne glasses on her boobs!

[jaminryan22]

3:25 LOVE :) shes a genius. 

[OneHappyHippy95]

Might just be me but she looks at the camera too much, don't get me wrong she's a very beautiful woman but she should just be putting everything into the performance and not putting so much into looking at the camera. Still, a beautiful performance!

[chatoXvato]

at first I though it was Tori from Mythbusters. Either one works for me. ;)

[MarceloBassist]

Marry me !

[hyuuganedji]

she looks much better in straight hair... :D

[sickofwaitingtables]

@hyuuganedji

It's a wig. And it looks awful.

[mumsdrunk]

This woman sings poetry.

This woman plays music from the soul.

This is a woman for all of us.

Love her!

[bexmyxescapex]

this is a lovely version.

[hunnyb839]

shes so pretty T_T

also, does she have an accent?

[Grange34]

@hunnyb839

yes english nowadays

[beejjordi]

this is terrible!

[ACLUBBUG]

this song is way beautiful i loved it and now im soo going tocarry it with me in my heart

[fubar50cat]

always wondered what tori would look like with straight hair, and here is my answer. Beautiful, as is the song. Just listen to the lyrics, like all of her songs, they are heartwrenchingly brilliant , poignant, and somewhat obtuse. And the voice is to fall in love with.

[schnurren]

Is it just me or does she look Asian here?

[MrGoofyPup]

@schnurren It's just you :P

[Culebrinha]

@schnurren  It is you

[narwhalfreedomforce]

this is shit

[actressinny]

Favorite Tori Amos song. Also: with that hair she's just BEGGING for elf ears; tell me if I'm wrong.

[actressinny]

Favorite Tori Amos song.

[gerulm5]

Did Tori get plastic surgery?? damn..please no

[belovedfly]

gorgeous!

[Cornelius71176]

"So you found a girl

Who thinks really deep thougts

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts..."

[bigWILLfrmus]

That felt intimate.

[Uhden090392]

I like red-haired girls now. 

[toddhodgson]

Way too many annoying, contrived pauses, elongated measures, etc. Not a fan of this version.

[segismundo77]

She was SO much better at the beginning of her career... She even sang better then. What a pity.

[SturmFee1988]

She was so beautiful before her operations.....now she just looks like everyone else...

[2hamboigahs]

broad couldnt go a minute without mentioning her savior satan - c ya

[muminfly]

How can you not love her...

beautiful

[1DavidMarshall]

@muminfly TORI AMOS HAS DEPTH WITH HER MUSIC . AND MASS EMOTION. SHE BUEATIFUL WOMAN.

[Sugarxbowl]

She's the reason why i love red heads <3

[feroxing]

@Sugarxbowl: i like more faye reagan

[diyejar]

I love it

[diyejar]

I love it

[xXawkwardsilenceXx]

does anyone find the lip thing at 0:25 incredibly sexy

[rainbowsinmind]

@xXawkwardsilenceXx your eyes focus on my funny lip shape ;)

[ZeNTRiicKz]

@xXawkwardsilenceXx First thing i noticed while watching it lol

[damonmoore33]

This is a great song to listen to while you pee

[mastahace41]

Wacthing this was weird. It was Tori's voice, but for me...it just wasn't Tori. Something seems missing. :-(

[GhostNaili]

the old live videos are more expressive and beautiful

[gwendolyyyn]

her accent is weird in this one.

noothing comes?

[13tete13]

how... how... how old is she?

[angelaprn]

@13tete13 i think 47?

[13tete13]

@angelaprn woooow she's well preserved, she doesnt seem 47!

[flavnyc]

wow, initially i thought it was a spoof! the pauses and the faces. i love her, but a bit overdone!

[darrell1448]

I like the pauses. Change can be a good thing

[UnknownEm0]

Tori looks stunning, gone crazy? Can you even define normalcy? Individuals that sacrifice much time to write and sing for others is a blessing and should none the less be appreciated. Complaining about others accomplishments is superfluous.

[Brian07891]

Tori is the shit!

[oopsLOOPS]

she stares at all the cameras farrrrrrr too much... its a bit unnerving to watch

[jonahlogistics]

what if Im a merman ? with your fishnets on,  standing on the toilet.

[AgentGordonCole]

She can't write anything.

[luked1964]

@Dawn554 cause butthead wears a AC/DC shirt in EVERY show. cant remember which one beavis wears...

[inmytimeofdieing2]

@luked1964 i believe its Metallica

[luked1964]

@inmytimeofdieing2 yup your absolutly right. thx

[EpicW1n]

this is horrible, the main piano part causes pain to my ears.

[NoSheep2]

@EpicW1n turn it off and spare us your negativity. I realize she threatens you, but I think you should speak to your shrink about that...OR...hey! I've got an idea...why don't YOU take it out in your OWN songwriting?

[HayleyMandalaMorgan]

She looks really stupid. Plus she sucks.

[baronmorris]

one bat-shit crazy chick.

[lucie9739]

she looks rediculous

[TheJisas]

Tori is a true ANGEL!!!!!

[suckfisher]

beautiful song, changing camera angles pretty crazy

[Uchimusic]

The piano is so pretty! nice melody....how some ppl could dislike this :)

[franzsrr]

I haven't seen her for a while on screen. Her look has considerably changed in recent years. She's got still an amazing voice, but I think I liked her live performances more in the older days.

[mz9393mz]

god she's sexy

[LadyMeeMee]

haha!..luv this song..u guys r all tuguy's!

[khayerei05]

she looks more like Lady Gaga here.. i want to see her whole face, she looks different here (looks like asian cosplay) but still she is pretty.. and the meaning of the song.. its just.."WOW" her talent never fades.

[leonard511619]

have no ideea why but this send's me in my childhood srrry for my english

[Zippish]

She's still got an amazing voice, but I really preferred her performance in Montreux. This just seems like it comes much less natural to her.

[ChipChipBreak]

I wish she's stop looking at the camera. just play the fucking song woman. 

[OneTrueStoryToTell]

that is the most beautiful hair i have ever seen, and i can't even explain how jealous i am.

[whoneedsposers]

Fucking feminist cunt

[JinnyCarey]

@whoneedsposers

strike a note? so hateful.

Im sure you have your reasons, but I came to hear a song, not be assaulted by your hate. Relax darling, its just a song.

[whoneedsposers]

@JinnyCarey If you came to hear a song why did you bother reading my posting? It is a shame this outspoken cunt was not 'silent all those years'.....feminist cunt as I said.

[JinnyCarey]

@whoneedsposers ...and you're back. must've missed her. you must really love this song, huh? have a great day sunshine.

[whoneedsposers]

@JinnyCarey Actually fuck up I have come to the comments page and have not watched the video. I merely came here to write to you. YOU CUNT.

[JinnyCarey]

@whoneedsposers :) oh, that really hurt, really.

Im devastated. kiss your mama with that mouth much?

learn some new insults, darling. XOXO LOVE BACK TO YA BABY.

PS- I gotta song I want you to hear...LOL

[whoneedsposers]

@JinnyCarey I have a few songs for you too!!

[JinnyCarey]

@whoneedsposers isnt scared. bring a lunch bad-ass.

[whoneedsposers]

@JinnyCarey I dont do lunch. I am not a bad ass either and I don't want you to be scared so what is your point?

[JinnyCarey]

@whoneedsposers

Dear POSER: MY POINT: We don't care how you feel about Tori, or feminists. GROW up, you're 30 years old, for Christ's sake. You're also Irish and I know my Irish mother would cringe, then she'd slap those words clean out of your mouth. This song is a bit over the top, but I still love it...and there's no reason to call me names because its my choice, not yours. I also love Pennywise and Circle Jerks, DKM and the Mahones. What does that make me? Take your hate somewhere else.

[TheSouthernorycle]

@whoneedsposers <---------poser.

[whoneedsposers]

@TheSouthernorycle How?

[JinnyCarey]

@whoneedsposers cause you think you're a badass that attacks people with nasty comments and personal insults and with all that nastiness you should really think about getting professional help. Its not good to walk around with that much anger. You'll hurt yourself. THAT'S HOW.

[JinnyCarey]

@TheSouthernorycle YEP. a nasty attitude too.

[Latebargirl]

this song has special meaning to me because it was my healing from molestation for some reason,I wasnt even living in in my own country at the time,I love Tori so much,she is a GODESS

[foreveryouforeverme]

beautiful

[hellsangel089]

i think she is amazing, this song is so good! relate to it. . my voice has been here too. . 

[LouieSeafur]

shes awesome- Great musician-beautiful

[noraacmw]

@Dawn554 perhaps the explanation is that your brain is full of beavis in a butthead? LOL

[loveybabey]

@Dawn554 hhahahahaha thats prttey funny

[mjloy76]

I wish u would be here for a while tori amos... My antichrist lies in the kitchen too:(

[PappyCaligula]

@mjloy76 If you're serious, you need an immeadiate exorcism.

[JinnyCarey]

@PappyCaligula

Pappy? shut up. you sound like a know it all asshole.

if you dont like the music go somewhere else.

Aint that the great thing about youtube? Its just a song, nobody's making you listen to it, or even comment, for god's sake. so...kindly shut up. thanks.

[PappyCaligula]

@JinnyCarey I do know alot (about music) and just makes me wise-er than YOU because you've built your pathetic life around the obscure so to make your own self "appear" intelligent. A chimpanzee can throw paint at a canvas but that doesn't indicate anything other than play, certainly not art. Tori Amos says Lucifer is a kind spirit...She's doing this to HURT her Mom and Dad like an immature 14 year yelling Fuck You in Church. Go on back to your coffeeshop gig and be quiet.

[TheSouthernorycle]

@PappyCaligula Maybe she does write certain lyrics just to shock mommy and daddy but it has made her millions, meanwhile you are clicking youtube links to songs you dont like and writing comments to try and get back at some hot little "emo gurl" that told you to get lost at some point. And as far as play and art go, the best artists are closer to being at play when doing their work. Oh yeah and anyone who feels it necessary to announce they know a lot about something usually knows jack shit.

[JinnyCarey]

@PappyCaligula

EXCUSE me? Pathetic? I refuse to read anymore because you're just begging for me to tell you to go fuck yourself. You dont know me.

[Ineedwords1121]

Genius... Bravo and ten thumbs up!

[jerryfalwellsociety]

My god, plastic Tori!?

[cherriewoolala]

......i kno this is the original version.....but it sounds weird.......

it makes me mental too........

[clopsii]

in their own way, all music is good, but every person has a type of music which mostly appeals to them. why do people argue about which is better? Can't they stop for a second and appreciate someones work instead of offending the people who may have strong memories linking to the music- like i heard this song when my grandad died and someone saying this music is shit is, well.........

[AC3DC]

this is the first time ive heard tori amos...........and shes shit

[yancybutler]

@AC3DC ha....wtf? And you like AC/DC? yeah man they got some real deep lyrics. stfu and go back to your low art.

[AC3DC]

@yancybutler who said it had to be deep to be good?

[yancybutler]

@AC3DC And thats why shit is on the radio today. that attitude.

[Ineedwords1121]

@AC3DC Yeh I agree.  Most of the music from centuries before that we study now is so shallow.

[ninjaduckie101]

@AC3DC agreed.

[PappyCaligula]

@AC3DC There were a couple of songs back in the 1990's that were decent, but AC3DC, you summed it up in 12 words..shit...

[PappyCaligula]

@AC3DC Kudos to you for seeing T.Amos for the comple FRAUD she is. If I were to see her again, I'd say it's Rotten Tomato time which would kinda' match her goofy red hair right now. She appeals to all those emo gurls who cut themselves. The same ones who are screaming for an ass-whoopin' snatch by the collar from Mommie and Daddie...Little selfish, self-absorbed pity party brats. The ones you almost encourage to "Go ahead...JUMP!"..Tori Amos is a fraud banging on the keys!

[TheSouthernorycle]

@PappyCaligula Wow. You dont have issues pal you have a subscription. Tori is Tori bro. If you dont like her, fine....go away. We dont like you either, in fact knowing that people like you dont like her music only reinforces our love for it. Im straight, 34 married and male, and I cant get enough of her so saying she only appeals to "emo gurls" doesn't fit. Tori was around before "emo" was a term.....prick.

[Isakceim]

never heard of her before, but she kinda creeps me out :O

[msfrankie]

@Isakceim yeah...that makes the two of us......

[xXxKaLLyxXx]

god i want to make love to her hair.

[bucktoofus]

this really doesn't work without a thousand lesbians screaming over her pauses. I'd rather just listen to the album version...

[xLaLaaar]

Its nice, but I think that there are too many sliding notes at the verse.. I don't know about you guys, but, too many sliding notes sound.. Weird.. LOL. Maybe you should listen to the Stephanie version.

[iCiikReamm]

love this song! why is people even criticizing at this song? her pauses makes it more emotional. i think it's called silent all these years for a reason...

[SimplyTheanthropic]

I think some of these pauses is because she's not singing this for her audience..she's singing it toward someone in specific.

[sacajuwea1]

that haistyle does not suit her

[EmoMakesADifference]

beautiful voice. i love her

[danieljohnfleet]

Quite possibly her best.God,I know she has to kiss like a live vibration.

[wondrme]

I wish she would see that her beauty isn't in some ridiculous thick haired wig, but her crazy hair and the visual truth of her words when she speaks them. The disconnect of what she says and the overwhelming wig is...ingenuine.

[andrebreton4]

I think Tori has never been "confused" about her music.

[bigdsears]

brings back good memories

[leunamcrowley2]

Years go by will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand...

[ilovedankassbud]

@toolbandsober...what are you talking about? you have no idea why she put those pauses in between lines. perhaps she was simply trying to make it a little different from the album version, what's wrong with that? and why did you put deepness in quotations? because you don't consider tori's lyrics deep? music is art and art is up to interpretation..what seems to be senseless blabber to you touches other peoples souls..who are you to question??

[PFDLOANS]

I was a huge TORI fan, but her last albums ..... were not Tori type songs.

These heartfelt songs are no longer, and now we are left with the gear of her imagination.

It's just amazing that something straight from the heart could even sound soo good. I'm thankful for the great songs she did provide us during the 90's.

[annikajordan]

the piano has a twilight zone/horror movie/fun house sound to it.... O.o

[xvilexpoisonx]

This is a passionate song...and I like everything about it...she poured her heart out in it, and honestly that is rare.<3

[Fylth]

I love Tori but I can't stand the pauses in between lines..it makes me mental.

[toolbandsober]

@Fylth Yeah, I agree completely. They used to be much worse, too. I hate artists that rely on the "deepness" on their lyrics. They draw these pauses that's almostl unbearable. Especially if their range isn't want they use to be. Thank goodness there's still writers like Tom Waits, eh?

[maxdoren]

@Fylth oh I love, dramatic pause :-)

[aWarmLightOnAWinters]

@Fylth dont you dare ever compare tori to lady gaga tori is an angel compared to that ugly stupid whorse.

[JeremyxFisher]

@aWarmLightOnAWinters U MAD? I didn't know Gaga was a horse though.

[MonoMaria1980]

@aWarmLightOnAWinters compare tori to lady gaga???? grmpf!!!

[Lastman0nEarth]

@aWarmLightOnAWinters What have you got against horses you asshole.

[Dranoel02]

@aWarmLightOnAWinters Expose Pt1: Celebrities who sold their souls and channel spirits tori is a devil

[Fylth]

@aWarmLightOnAWinters What? I never compared the two.. you must have been replying to someone else. Gaga is a Manson/Madonna clone..Tori is an original.

[justshutupification]

@Fylth gaga isn't clone. she has a strong voice and style. c'mon people watch her performance before talk and hate.
