Tori Amos - Father Lucifer (Original)

[sTapleEVA]

better a satanist than a christian XD

[altjff15]

Anybody who thinks the use of Lucifer here is some type of metaphorical non-sense is just plain stupid. This is a love song to Satan.

[josefostrom]

@altjff15 why do ignorant religious zealots feel compelled to watch and listen to music they don't approve of, then bash it? If you don't like it stay away.

[jaxxommckaine]

and her father was a preacher!

Can you read the description in the video about Tori Amos and hearing this magical melody, please.

"does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave?" ...love the reference ...love the writing ..gorgeous

[CometxNova]

I happen to love the oddness of this song and I am a Christian. I don't interpret it to be anything other than a whimsical, expressive, beautiful form of art I like to call, Tori Amos.

[keyofdavid888]

I loved this artist until I saw this title. I don't care what she "explains" this to be. I don't care what fundies say about it, they call everything evil. I can judge for myself.  And I'm now turned off.

[joseluki]

@keyofdavid888 Religion rules your life, poor you...

[keyofdavid888]

@joseluki you have no idea what's in my head. i have no religion

[WithinAcousticMagic]

Nothing's gonna stop me from floating... <3

How's your Jesus Christ been hangin'?

[Gredya]

The three voices chorus is creepy awesome!

[orionconflict2007]

I,m christian and i get that poetic side ov the song, music iz a great tool 4 wordz. good song

[sirex02]

The way we are raised by our parents eventually determines what kind of relationships we end up having as adults...that is all!

[glitterdust40]

To me ~ father lucifer is very much about accepting the fact that we all have a Doppelgänger ~ it really is our shadow side ~~ find her ~ meet her ~ walk with her, accept her ~ tori did ~

[tummylub]

♪ Hi! ♪

[nakedspaniard]

im lucifer and i listen to this song about four times a day. she really hit my heart well. thanks so much

[edimova]

"Now, when I say Lucifer, I’m talking about the feelings that we hide from ourselves." "And I am not talking about Satanism......that’s the distortion of those who can’t really claim the dark so they become evil because they are not really claiming their shadow." .yessaid.com/talk/3fatherlucif­er.html Lucifer here is the Jungian shadow.

[youkilledthefrog]

I could be wrong but, it seems like "Father Lucifer" is her ex and "that Milkmaid" is herself. When she says "he threw away our apple seed", she's talking about her miscarriage. So, it isn't actually about Satan. It's symbolism, like with most poetry and music, one thing represents something else. Nothing Satanic about that.

[jessika7381]

@youkilledthefrog ---I always thought the same in my interpretation of the song. Considering the things going on in her life at the time, it makes sense

[WithinAcousticMagic]

@youkilledthefrog I always thought the same thing. I definitely thought Father Lucifer represented an ex and she represented the milkmaid. I never thought of the whole miscarriage thing in the appleseed metaphor, very intriguing. It makes perfect sense.

[RahBei]

@dmh497 lol the Devil doesn't exist >.> ...still believing that...

[ChenStylish]

@dmh497 Please don't use the word "absurd" again.

Or i will start using the word irony a lot.

[dmh497]

It is my understanding that Tori Amos made a pact with the Devil, and that is how she became famous. Does anybody know if this is true? I know that she has publicly acknowledged using voodoo dolls. So I think it’s reasonably safe to assume that she did make a pact with the Devil. And to my knowledge, pacts with the Devil are non-voidable. So if she made a pact with the Devil, the contract is still in effect, no?

[KidRiviera]

@dmh497 Literally none of that is true lol She wrote this song after a drug trip, no Devil involved. She has never mentioned anything to do with voodoo dolls.

[dmh497]

@KidRiviera I’ve heard her talk about using Voodoo dolls. So that part is definitely true.

And people who are not Satanists don’t usually write songs called Father Lucifer. So I’m not convinced that there is no pact between Tori and the Devil.

[Eyefull101]

@dmh497 , Are you just stuck on stupid?

[LunaRiviera]

@dmh497 on behalf of all the EWF out there...you're a fuckin' idiot.

[ChenStylish]

@dmh497 Please.. be careful crossing the street by yourself.

Those cars move fast.

[Kandeegirl66]

she rimindes me of rose from titanic..

[nakedspaniard]

@Kandeegirl66 yeah fo sho

[TheCaptainLulz]

Im assuming you are policing the comments here, probably prudent, Im surprised people arent preaching here. Its a good song though.

[dreamsorrow3]

Man, this song is beautiful. I love the piano, and the lyrics are exceptional!

[redrum05150]

OMG OMG OMG OMG I LOVE TORI AMOS BECUZ OMG... BECUZ OMG...CUZ I HAVE NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO SAY BUT OMG....yeah, that's how all you freaks out there sound like, like a depraved monkey caged up looking thru a hoarde of bananas on the other side!!!! no, but i really enjoy this song >=*D

[stewartabesha]

do you people know whos Lucifer if you dont he is satan u know the devil but idk y i love this song<3

[joshtheobjectivist]

Thank existence for Tori. She is the queen of all songwriting. She's also the king. But Neil Peart is the Ace.

[ALLTHESEYEARS23]

I LOVE TORI....ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL....WHENEVER I'M HAVING THE WORST KIND OF DAY... HER MUSIC GETS ME THROUGH

[TrapFactory]

1 person is still in love with that milkmaid.

[AWYMARI3HORN]

!!!so smart with the throwing away the apple seed!!

[AWYMARI3HORN]

<3



[Chrysalis990]

The church (the elder brother) gets upset when God throws a robe around Lucifer, welcomes him back, puts a ring on his finger and throws him a party

[Chrysalis990]

Lucifer is the ultimate prodigal son

[tearsoflacrimosa]

Also, she never "looked" so sane as she "looks" on this album!

[tearsoflacrimosa]

One of the most beautiful, spiritual and full of meaning songs of hers! There couldn't have been any other way, since she wrote this when she was high! :)) Amazing job, wonderful album, smart and poetic lyrics and brilliant album theme!

[criosan]

Amazingly beautiful!

[candygirl121340]

Haha, LMFAO!

LIKES:144

DISLIKES:1

[112crip]

wtf crazy ass white folks LMAO

[Sironthemage]

Why do I know nothing about her!!!! Shes amazing!!!

[louiseduvee]

I just remembered that the world is supposed to end today... Some nutty preacher who used to be a civil engineer has a lot of people believing him in Memphis. There's even a billboard up. So, 'happy end of ze world'.

[ACornyCrayon]

Wanna hear something funny? I first heard this song on some christian anti Rock "documentary". Been hooked on Tori Amos ever since XD

Even mindless propoganda cannot taint her work :)

[OrangeOceanOctopus]

@ACornyCrayon You mean "They Sold Their Souls For Rock N Roll". Yeah I saw that too. That's how I got interested in Led Zeppelin.

[ACornyCrayon]

@OrangeOceanOctopus

:D

I love that. It means that awfull documentary actually does good things...

I think I'll sleep a little better tonight.

[OrangeOceanOctopus]

@ACornyCrayon I own the 10 hour version of that documentary. It's pretty gnarly. 8D

[LilRaverBrooke]

@ACornyCrayon Omg They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll documentary ! Fucking same. xD

[ACornyCrayon]

@LilRaverBrooke

Seems like more people have that. That's really cool man, that really lightens up my day XD

[Incyinks]

My guess is it's a reference to the aliens known as "reptilians".

[shinigamixheartless]

amazing<33 love u tori!!

[LunaSeaSane]

Looky here... Tori Amos announcing the world she is a luciferian.

[roviscoyt]

does she has a best of cd or something? thanks every body

[Incyinks]

"How's the Lizzies"???

[almafiina]

@Incyinks I'd like to know what that means^^

[Incyinks]

@almafiina Is that not the lyrics? 

[almafiina]

@Incyinks Yes it is but I don't understand the meaning. I'm not native :P

[rustcorpsickle1]

17 thousand times played .i cant get enough..love u tori

[mrhaydenroberts]

Love this, boys for pele is one of the best albums ever

[LadyLotus74]

I Love this song, but it's too bad there's no video.

[thyczko2]

this song is about her break up with boyfriend after she had a miscarriage

[sebluthiers]

I'd never listened to this artist until last year when I heard this song by mere chance. I got the goosebumps. Now I wanna know more of her material as this is wonderful.

[HopePrincess7]

I feel really stupid but, I've never understood the lyrics 100%

[kooldragon95]

@HopePrincess7 don't feel stupid, Just because you don't fully understand the lyrics. Any song can be interpreted many different ways from many different views. Even if the song was meant to mean one thing, everyone has their own opinions of it :D

[MidgyWidgy]

ITS NOT KATE BUSH DERR

[jjreis77]

FATHER LUCIFER....EVER DAY IS MY WEDDING DAY....YOU ALWAYSPLAN

[mrMonsterman1704]

Father Lucifer

You never looked so sane

You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain

Tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid

How's the Lizzies

How's your Jesus christ been hanging

[missrosiecass]

one of my favourite songs in the world!

[sickofwaitingtables]

2:29- ZOMG IT'S KATE BUSH!

[ChrissieBana]

@sickofwaitingtables lol I thought for real before I looked at the picture. She does look like her on that pic a lot. But this song is completely wonderful.

[mandatoryfigs]

I never get tired of the song n the pic :) love tori amos!!!!!
