TORI AMOS live 1000 OCEANS

[gydase]

such beauty, such pain... <3

[NimbleWitz]

I would not call this a sad song. Although the lyrics suggest a time of emotional unsettling, the concept of 1000 Oceans is one of hope. Not despair.

[jmfp75]

Tori wrote this song after her husband's father died....

[laspilly]

She was at her most beautiful in To Venus and back.

[lunamysun]

For Budgie* (21.06.2005 – 02.09.2009), my sweet wise little friend - thank you soooo much... You know that we will never ever forget...

For my Dad Joey & both my Babies who had to leave and went to the Freebird's Sky, too.

For Luna, too, and all Silent Screamers. You are not alone - We are coming!

And today especially for Micha & her Mom.

RIP

[eagle180181]

[frissium]

eternal diva!

[TheVidsAreAllRight]

This song is sure to give you a heart check!

[memphiswillbe]

4 dislikes... That just means 4 retarded redneck Nazi faggots stumbled on this video by accident!

[farstrider79]

She just seems more relaxed in some of the older performances, and the music flows better. Such talent.

[gordyj0315]

my girlfriend just broke up with me...i dont knw how to feel....i will miss you annika </3

[9crapper]

rDedicate this song to all I have and lost....

RIP my dear fanily and friends...xx

[LoudNproudAzn]

I want to dedicate this song to my cat Soxx hit buy a car yesterday...his backbone got broken...we have to put him to sleep today...RIP Soxxx... I will never forget how you always put a smile on my face acting silly...Thank you for posting this song....

[RhythmicIllusions]

@LoudNproudAzn I am so sorry to hear about your cat. That is so sad. May he rest in peace.

[LaBellaSiena]

So amazingly beautiful....

[MaryJamesMurdoch]

such a bloody tear - jerker. I adore her.

[thisispin]

these tears i've cried

i've cried 1000 oceans

and if it seems i'm floating

in the darkness

[romma1]

I lost my brother last week, and he was immortal in my eyes. I understand this song now better than I had. It completely has new meaning to me now.

[danbit5]

hearing this is like pondering into a good cup of tea:)

[EddieCurrentFan]

This is quite the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Tori is the most beautiful woman alive....inside and out. Can there be another like her?

[amorphos]

I remember back in 2005 I got to see tori perform this song as an encore, so amazing, I was front row, ahh good times, amazing song.

[rocktunes]

Great song.

[LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness]

My dad passed away in the ICU back on February 5th of this year from multi-organ failure. My family, husband and I were with my dad until he took his very last breath and his heart stopped beating. I layed my head on my dad's chest, told him I loved him, thanked him for giving me a good life and that it was ok for him to go to heaven. Dad, I miss you terribly; "so I will cry a thousand more, if that's what it takes to sail you home..."

[xyzues1]

@LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness

That is very touching..thnx for sharing

[LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness]

@xyzues1 Thank you. Can't believe that will be 3 months May 5th, when my dad left this earth. Hugs from Buffalo, NY.

[paradisenot4me]

I'm glad many people don't get her, it means more for us that do!! Love you Tori x

[Danna949]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.

[rocktunes]

Beautiful. Fantastic talent. How about 50 Grammy"s!

[fenwayfan1]

she is the best singer/songwriter to come around in a long time!

[salek1]

First time I heard this song, I knew that my friend Mark was saying hello - and that I was remembered - that he was taking a piece of me with him, and that I was loved.

[lunamysun]

what an artist, what a song: never ever i'd keep you from flyin.. .home...

[wunderlake]

this song never fails to make me cry. God..

[JailhouseDave]

I saw her 4 times between 96-2001, actually saw her in D.C on 2001 9/13 kind of weird, since it was right after the 9/11 attacks. Deffinitely every time was beautiful to see her. Especially with my girlfriend at the time.

[gibby462]

This Song makes me think of my brother fighting in Iraq

[Shikamaria]

she's hard to understand I think o.o

has she any accent?

[glafarga999]

well she has a small southern accent maybe because she was born in north carolina...but regardless she likes to stretch her words and change tones so that the song expresses what she had in mind. In my opinion, it makes it all more beautiful ;)

[klink2u]

Saw her Live. Made me a true fan.

[popcorn682]

thank you for posting this.i think this is the best live version that i've seen on here so far.this is a beautiful song and i do appreciate it.

[1982angelic]

great song for my great friend Patrik , Thx for being there for me <3

[Sushi542]

Thank You for posting the lyrics as well : ) Such a beautiful song...

[deathtouch100]

my goal in life since around 1995 is to one day see this woman live. I know it will be a life changing moment.

[allnamesused]

hi, that was also my wish . . . and thus, last weekend, i flew 5 hours, travelling alone, just to be there for a weekend to catch her live . . . all i can say is that, it IS a life-changing event . . . so, do try to . . .

[lunamysun]

I wish to dedicate this wonderful song to

Budgie*, Joey*, my Big Joey*, my babies* and, as a promise, to my little Luna*

[FastforwardTheRewind]

I think so. I understand her perfectly. She is actually using perfect traditional diction.

[Candiitea]

I think you're the only one because anybody who knows Tori would know that it just a skill of expressing the emotions.

[ciararavenblaze]

it wasn't until this week when, in addition to the people that we lost this week, a friend of mine died, that I really, TRULY understood the emotion in this song.

a friend of mine posted this on his Facebook with these deaths (including my friend) in mind, and I didn't even have to listen to it to start crying.

[tamheavenly]

she puts so much emotion in her voice - beautiful!

[cheercats07]

soooo sad! such a wonderful song!

[janetarie]

this song applies to SO many different events in one's life, birth, death, illness, conflict....life. its awesome!

[StaroftheSea136]

She sounds amazing live! I love this song and the lyrics are so beautiful!!!!!!!

[U2RoxMyWorld]

I'm dedicating this song to my cousin Sgt. Cari Anne (U.S. Marines) who was killed in Iraq December 7, 2004. RIP...

[hannesbannes]

@U2RoxMyWorld

rest in peace.... :(

[ashleyraye13]

@U2RoxMyWorld I am sorry about your cousin.. Right-handed salutation to Sgt. Cari.

[N2YJP]

@MrGoofyPup why are you saying this bacause it is not our millitary who is doing all of this.

[karacter28]

These tears are true. I'm more than amazed by the talent in you.. <3

[drumkj9]

still cry every damn time

this is the music ... these are the lyrics

this is why i bother to get out of bed

[davidvonbarany]

It's awesome, she is singing those above-sopran notes also live...

Christina Aguilera also sang notes like that, but only on record... Tori did it live!

Viva, Tori!

[BoysForPele1989]

Yes, Tori is an supernatural talent, and wondrous being. Miss Aguilera is a frivolous symbol of pop culture mass idiocy next to the craft of a Goddess.

~*`Over Silbury Hill, through the Solar field`*~

[roxanamariamirea]

It's like she's singing only: "come back, come back to me"... Marvellous, I adore it.

[bluespac]

this is so blue and adictive, sad but beutifull.damm

[missing8moment]

wow. beautiful.

[buriedlovely]

In loving memory of my best friend, Tom, I cried 1000 oceans.

Sail on, my Tom.

[maciullah]

I simply don't have words to express what to say, when i hear this song. It makes me cry.

[StrayCatLady]

I think it's the saddest song I've ever heard in my life.

I'll never forget the first time I heard it, and even after many years it has the same impact on me. Tori delivers it flawlessly.

[stillmb]

@StrayCatLady: i dont think its sad it all.. it is a passionate lovesong, nothing more, i think

[nocode1973]

@stillmb its actually about her unborn child she lost

[charitylmc]

@stillmb it's obviously a song about losing a loved one to death. does this little blue ball just fade away means do your memories of your life on earth fade away after you die.

[doctorwolfman1010]

@StrayCatLady It is so very sad. It has always been associated with one whom I loved very much. I just found out that she died a few years ago. I will always think of her when I hear this.

[h0ping]

i've just cried those 1000 oceans watching this

unbelievable

pure talent,

im speechless..

[ENeithneYA]

yeah.she definately is.:]

i love 1000 oceans!

[allpiansong]

amazing video. tori is an angel :)
