Tori Amos - Song of Solomon improv Take me with you (2005)

[BlueRhythm64]

what the fuck

[0072sim]

It felt like someone was tweaking on your nerve the entire time. Just too much tension and discomfort in it. Kind of like beating something until it can't respond.

[FuckYourGodYourLord]

Tori was the prettiest girl there.

[MySensualWorld]

Where is the rest of the performance?

[Ferventspirit77]

"Oh take me with you

I don't need shoes to follow

Bare feet running with you

Somewhere the rainbow ends my dear..."

[SilverLining333]

I don't think it was a good choice to have Tori perform at this show.... her music is so mesmorizing, as is she - I had a hard time focusing - look at her, look at the models? One or the other must be the background, and Tori's music and performances are always too powerful to be in the background...

[04jhowarth]

If you look at her top at the end, it has fallen off her shoulder; and she continues to play. What an artist. She must have been totally in the zone.

[guiguilerennais]

is that a joke ?

[04jhowarth]

I love how she slams her foot on the sustain pedal at 4:52

[toriphile84]

I think she's saying "black eyes of ravens" not "blankets, ribbons". Could be wishful thinking, though.

[PisceanAge]

@toriphile84 It's definitely "black as a raven", certainly not blanket ribbons

[PisceanAge]

@toriphile84 More specifically: Song of Solomon 5:11 in the Bible

[froglecrock]

... all the witches in the tower *sing* ...wonderful :-)

[nouvellefag]

i wish this didn't cut off at the end

[munchkin102202]

just a thought: maybe when she says 'flower balm' she actually said 'flower bomb' by viktor & rolf, you know how she has certain scents (or teas) that duncan makes before her shows, maybe flower bomb was the scent, the 'potion', before this performance.

Now that I've seen it enough times not to notice the models walking around anymore and being able to totally sink into it, I can honestly say this is one of Tori's most amazing performances on YT.

[sexualgorgeous]

V&R love her, so who cant? i mean she's creative and she looks gorgeous in silk, i saw the interview with Viktor and Raulf and they both said they listen to her in like intimate moments and she's and inspiration to them, so she's not a cheap crap, she's a muse!

[MustyOldBooks]

For those of you who would be interested in reading the original ancient Egyptian series of love songs/poems from which the Song of Songs (Solomon) was derived, Michael V. Fox has written a very good book which compares the Hebrew version with the ancient Egyptian, virtually line for line.

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

omg! She was just improvising and then it just morphed into "Take me with you" only with slightly different lyrics, 'jackals' instead of 'rabbits' and 'anger' instead of 'rainbows.' I like both of those changes for the better.

[antoinewashere]

The model on the left at the end was unsure whether to leave, huahah

[talula2283]

i like fashion shows as much as the next person, but Tori's studio music would have been better suited to this. Having her there performing is like a spiritual thing, and having the focus be fashion instead just cheapens her performance, in my opinion. it hurts me to watch her be a side act.

[TarAncalyme]

EXACTLY!!!

[markalexis1981]

Please - ANYBODY - fashionista or not - would've been mesmerized by that show and it would've definitely highlighted any clothing - so, yeah, perfect for a fashion show! GO T!!!!

[oneimaginarygirl5]

brilliant! thanks! shame the video can't be longer than 10 minutes.. would've loved to see how it ends!

[KitDecay]

is it just me or does the song really not fit a fashion show at all??

[michaelhenicker]

It was not ANY fashion show!!! Viktor and Rolf are true artists and create art installations as well as making Couture clothes. It was a mesmerising song for a mesmerising show! What a beautiful performance!!! I love them all.

[dudecosta]

@KitDecay It's just you.
