Tori Amos - Past the Mission

[UltimateEnd622]

The audio is all spacy on this video compared to normal. And it sounds totally radical!

[aingealdarcathu]

I liked most of this video, but something about the women laying down before the men and letting them walk over them... I'm sure it's not how it was intended to be seen, but it's always what I think when that part comes up...

[rme0108]

Beautiful video!!! yes it´s Arcos de la frontera, my hometown as well.....good job!

[Silviapsb]

@rme0108 Estoy flipando, le acabo de ver posteado en FB por 2 amigos míos de cuando yo vivía allí!

[staycool84]

It´s my town!!! I don´t knew nothing about this vídeo! It´s Arcos de la Frontera. Cádiz. Andalucía, Spain. Probably, the most beautiful town in Spain. See " Arcos de la Frontera, Andalucía es de cine" in youtube!!

[feodor24]

@staycool84 Do all of your town's people wear black all the time in real life? Or was it made for this clip only?

[AndrewGilmore1986]

Tori is so beautiful. :)

[mhartemusic]

What is this song/video about?

[diverrboy]

I wonder where this was filmed at. Looks beautiful.

[rme0108]

@diverrboy it was filmed in Arcos de la Frontera, Cádiz in Spain. It´s a really beautiful place...



[goocek1]

One of the most important songs in my life.

[petitemasochist]

Check out that priest! Hubba-hubba! :D

[venusenvy2011]

@petitemasochist OMG...I was thinking the same thing!

[mybootsareneverclean]

If there's a priest that looked like that, i'd go to church a lot more often!! :P

[julesbr]

@mybootsareneverclean I would be an altar boy for that priest !

[MySensualWorld]

That Priest is so hot!

[moonlily1]

@MySensualWorld that's exactly what I said.

[korvexpictures]

Very cool chorus :)

[antgueru]

Yo participé en el rodaje de este vídeo. Se rodó en Arcos de la Frontera, Cádiz, España.

[RpgExposition]

Theres a music teacher at the school I went to last year named Ms. Amos and she had red hair. I'm like lolwtf.

[DeltaDawnMarie]

Summer of '97. ENC 1101, first semester of college. We were each allowed to bring in music to play during class. Some dork before me brought in some crappy jazz stuff, and everyone acted like he was so innovative. I brought in this song, and mostly everyone rolled their eyes and hissed and moaned. I hope they all failed out of college and are now trying to find freelance dry-walling projects.

[Mertule93]

... Sorry, I might be a person without any good taste in music, but I think Maandig's singing is much pleasant than Tori's... The beginning of this song almost ripped my ears off :)

[bradleybfb]

Björk and Tori are the greatest women in the world.

[UltimateEnd622]

@bradleybfb Don't forget Kate Bush =) She was their inspiration.

[SALTEDHAMSUPERSHOW]

Don't troll, Mariqueen is rad.

[CMB4201]

Why isn't Trent reznor on the tags????

[byxa99]

i love tori

[robo475]

thumbs up if you came to hear trent's backup vocals :D



[datazz85]

@robo475 hahaha. I think most people are here because of Trent. Everyone is right, this is the kind of girl Trent should've married. I've reading a lot, and I think both of them (Trent and Tori) think so too. It's a mistery what happened between them.

[mumsdrunk]

Why have I never watched this video from beginning to end? Love it.

As a male fully aware of the feminie power, love it even more.

[zabarr101]

@mumsdrunk From the feminine, thank you. In my worldview males who acknowledge and recognize the feminine power have the power, themselves. We are equal. Peace. 

[gacktxrawr]

i love this.

[gagidis]

why I haven't heard this song before!?It is so rough with a so sensitive and sweet way...

[aniraina21]

wheres this at? italy or pakistan?

[ivancor773]

@aniraina21 Looks like southern Spain to me and that was Spanish in the beginning of the video

[aniraina21]

@ivancor773 thanx!

[modoloine]

That scene where the women all lay down passively to be trampled by the clergy is incredible. so true

[alvarou2]

At the beginning: "Borrasho vengo esta noshe... y esta es una desgracia mía que borracho..."

[alicialovespopcorn]

listen and you can hear Trent Reznor ;)

[highgroundflood]

I'm not sure...haha I'm part Norwegian and well I suppose, all countries have something to "Independence". Can't blame them. It was occupies during WWII. Wouldn't it be nice to have Trent? Sounds sleazy, as though I will ever see him in anything other than concerts. I hope they flourish.

[kalinka27]

Does anybody know where in Spain this video was set?

[MixmasterFizzle]

reznor + tori amos = win

[elbee222]

"Past the mission...behind the prison tower"

"...... I once knew a hot girl"

....Thats all I can even type about ;(

The rest of the song I usually just Cry..and.."smell the roses"

Love ya TORI !

[LadyLotus74]

Just like every other Tori Amos video, it's just awesome to see her face.

[LucifersTreasure]

why can't her team or record company launch an official channel? Even smaller acts have official accounts.

[stilltainted922]

2:49 = jude law

[Aarpeggio]

I cried when i heard this song.

This is best song in the wolrd.

[drgigglefart]

With backinf vocals by non other than Trent Reznor

[kokomotoysonline]

@drgigglefart They dated briefly.

[janetarie]

I love this video...love Tori..love music..

[Stlane13]

I remember this one, from all the others.

[kokomotoysonline]

That you for posting this. Tori is so amazing. One of the greatest voices of our generation.

[theblueroses0]

Trent really should have married someone with a brain like TOri amos. his wife is vapid and disgusting.

[sickofwaitingtables]

@theblueroses0

I agree. They were perfect for each other, really :(

[moonlily1]

@theblueroses0 That chick from Brazilian Girls or whatever? How do you know she's vapid? Anyway, maybe HE"s disgusting and Tori wouldn't have him!

[highgroundflood]

@moonlily1 HAhAHAH! Man Trent is so cute. I have the same birthday as him.....Norweigan independance day May 17.

[moonlily1]

@highgroundflood Interestingly, I actually did not know when Norwegian Indepence Day was, I've learned something new. Independence from who?

[livedreamincolor]

@moonlily1 from Sweden, they grabbed a king from the Danish royal family who was married to Queen Victoria's grandaughter, so that is their current royal family. They had been under they control of either Sweden or Denmark for many hundreds of years. And then of course, the brief loss of independence to the Nazi's but that's not what the May 1

[livedreamincolor]

@livedreamincolor oops...on unfamiliar computer and posted before done...I meant the May 17th celebration...thats about Sweden as far as I know

[TheDruidPan]

@theblueroses0 they were dating during the recording of this albulm and she refrences him in caught a lite sneeze which was recorded after the breakup...

[erw9]

@TheDruidPan sorry to be a wet blanket but trent and tori never dated-they were just friends-trent (don't get the wrong idea I love the man but he was a slut bag in those early 90's nin days-very well known and I think that probably would've skeeve normal girls off him-& Tori was in a relationship with a guy for most of the period-named Neil) the pretty hate machine reference is just a shout out like rappers do b/c she respects him as an artist but caught a lite sneeze is about her miscarriage

[padlock23]

@erw9 hey there- respect to your tori knowledge but i am afraid caught a lite sneeze is not about her miscarriage. Spark is. She miscarried whilst writing the music for from the choirgirl hotel, not boys for pele. as far as i am aware, caught a lite sneeze is about about a disappointing relationship that was lite, i.e not the flu. Peace

[antinoocp]

@theblueroses0 Even Tori Amos really should have married someone with brain like Trent Reznor. her nerd husband aka mcalladin had terrible effect on her whole music production after Steve Caton leave her as a guitarist.

[TheShadowMystik]

@theblueroses0 There aren't enough women like Tori Amos in this world :( :( but then again, I am happy she's one of a kind :) <3

[gagidis2]

@TheShadowMystik many many likes!! ; )

[johnnyspacedive]

@theblueroses0 You're vapid and disgusting.

[dreamaskylar]

@theblueroses0 I agree. Trent's wife is just awful. I heard that she went on tour with NIN and spent hours making fun of "fat" and "ugly" fans. What a human turd.

[MissLoveTantei91]

@theblueroses0 Why do you care so much? D:

[ish474]

@theblueroses0 How does she like her tea? I assume you know her well enough to make such diffinative statements. I also would choose Tori over most anyone but come on she's a person and you have no personal stake in either relationship. Geesh

[Camden1313]

@theblueroses0

Damn right.

[TheFluffyLemon]

@theblueroses0 Rude. While I don't very much like Maandig's music she might actually be a very interesting and wonderful person off camera. To call her "vapid and disgusting" is just ignorant.

[tahbonius]

this song resonates with me, even today!

[mechanique]

i didn't really realize this song had a deep catholic backstory to it. i didn't really think a lot about the lyrics until i saw this video.

a libertine with a priest, as a lover, and later as another one for him to walk over because of his crying shoulder of religion and faith.

gorgeous video.

[mechanique]

and "they found a body...she gave him shelter...some things only she knows" an illegitimate child perhaps?

[FeverRai]

She's gorgeous (and still is.)

[gzussturbo]

I heard trent reznor is in this song.... is that true?

[JuliaCC78]

@gzussturbo Yeah he 's the guy singing in the chorus

[JuliaCC78]

@gzussturbo Yes, he's singing with her during the chorus

[gaywizzard86]

WOW, I haven't seen this in about 14 years. I had the VHS with all the videos when I was a teenager - and this was one of my favorites of all her videos. You just don't see things like this anymore.

[IsisOsiris7]

WOW What a statement.... Love this video!

[violetdawn369]

thanks for posting this. i don't know why but i start bawling at the part where the women lay down in front of the young priest. it just... gets me. love love love tori.

[moonlily1]

@violetdawn369 I don't blame those women, that priest is hot!

[kiwi121582]

@violetdawn369 Can't explain why, but that part definitely moves me too!

[druidicawen]

Thanks for posting this...one of my favorites!
