Verse at 2:15 has always hooked me on the studio version "You don't show much these days... Gets so f***ing cold... I love the secret places... But I can't go any more"
WTF Youtube? Why all of a sudden are there 10 videos that I have in my faves amd been watching for a while all of a sudden "not avalible on mobile". You guys SUCK.
its so easy to identify to this song, I lover her so much she just says everything so right and in such a romantic way...so much emotion, thats just why its so good...thank God for Tori Amos
I used to play this song whenever I would get in a fight with my boyfriend and I was feeling melodramatic. I miss the old Ms. Amos style but there will always be this. Thanks Tori.
I didn't realize I wasn't in love with someone until he dedicated this song to me. Tore my heart up to finally see through him.. Tori has taught me that truth+vulnerability+beauty=LOVE. Thank you.
I STILL CA'T GET THROUGH THIS SONG WITHOUT CRYING EVEN AFTER THOUSANDS OF LISTENS... I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF MY FIRST LOVE AND ALL THE WONDERFUL YEARS WE SPENT TOGETHER WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG... HE'S THE ONE THAT BOUGHT ME THIS ALBUM AS WELL AS MANY OTHER TORI AMOS' ALBUMS... I NEVER REALLY GOT OVER OUR SPLIT AND THIS SONG JUST HITS THAT NERVE EVERYTIME... MISS U BOODY
@NMerenda1 the good news is......there are plenty of us norwegian lads running around....you are a good woman and deep of spirit.....the warrior poet northern lad is waiting for you too....the lad who will love and live with you....the lad who will speak and fight for your love.....may the gods bless you.......just keep being the strong woman.......trust me.......we're watching.
@NMerenda1 no.....we're all kindred here......we're all deeper than we need to be......we all FEEL way too much and LOVE way too much and GIVE way way way too much........that's why this speaks to us....but I meant it......even through the words on the screen I can feel your soul's heat. Keep being that person....don't compromise and don't lose it....so many pale shadows wandering in the world's mist as it is.
DEBO DECIR QUE LA CANCION LA DESCUBRI POR LA PELICULA SNOW CAKE UNA DE LAS PELICULAS MAS LINDAS Y EMOTIVAS QUE E VISTO BELLA CANCION EROTICA Y ROMANTICA AUN QUE ENESPAÑOL NO ES PARA NADA EROTICA LA MELODIA LO ES LA VOZ DE LA CANTANTE ES MUY LINDA :D
Yo también la descubrí por esa película, suena durante el encuentro entre el sexy Allan Rickman y Carrie AnneMoss... una escena increíblemente erótica y para nada vulgar. Saludos desde Costa Rica.
I recognised this beautiful song whilst watching 'Snow Cake' featuring Sigourney Weaver playing an autistic woman in perhaps her finest performance to date. It's played during a love scene with Alan Rickman and Carrie-Anne Moss.
Man, this song hurts my heart. I've seen her live 4 times and I just sit in awe w/ chills on my arms. <3 "Girls, you've got to know when it's time to turn the page."
God, I love this song. It goes very near the top of my Favorite Breakup Songs list. Probably in the top 3 or 5. Mmm.. Can't get enough, even when I'm not breaking up.
Just to clarify the lyrics are "You change like sugar cane" says my northern lad NOT you taste like sugar cane. I feel this is important because it changes the meaning of the song....During harvesting once sugar cane is cut, it starts to lose it's sugar / sweetness.
Oh my god, I saw her at the Victoria Theatre last night and this song was STUNNING! She played the best and most intense set I have ever seen her play ;)
@Multiryan1982 i hope you tet to see her too. Its an amazing expericence... She just posted the first 10 dates for the new tour in the US... Starts Nov. 29th! Hope you get yourself a ticket... you'll never regret it.

@Multiryan1982 seen her many times live. lucky enough to have seen her live in new orleans front row on my 21st birthday....you really are missing out on something special if you haven't seen her live. I hope you get the chance some day...you'll never forget it and you'll want more!
manche bieten Bertie Bott's beans an. Manchmal versucht man irgendwie sein Recht einzufordern, auf viele unmögliche Weisen. Weil es ist und bleibt unmöglich!
Was alles dabei passiert, ist nicht immer unwirklich. Und was ist rational? Und wat willst du eigentlich?
i remember the pain i felt while listening to this song back in maybe 2002. i was suicidal and that song felt like a catharsis. especially at about 4min.34 or8 sec. it made me go through these moments without killing myself. thank you tori. and thank you for posting this magical moment arsonheart
makes me remember being sixteen, skipping school on a rainy day and spending the day with my first love........this song was playing on my stereo that day.......and i still remember....and always will......
Brings me to tears every time. Love the use of "fucking" in the second verse. So necessary and full of emotion; twin emotions of sadness and anger at the loss of the relationship. Her words are like poetry. Love her.
I guess this might help with what its about : "my heart goes out to where that song [northern lad] comes from. it's very much about thinking you were loved for who you were, and realizing you weren't and realizing maybe you don't love yourself. the line, i guess you go too far/when pianos try to be guitars is just about never being enough. i felt that with my instrument sometimes, wanting to be jimmy page. you can only be you. a lot of times it's never enough for people."
RedMeat, if you ever read this, I'll always remember you - and this song will be the landmark of everything we went through. Do you remember the night we got drunk and drove home, sat in your parking lot and it was raining outside and this came on shuffle? out of 6 cd's, THIS song played.
I love you forever, and I'm sorry it had to end like that.
This song is in regards to Tori Amos' miscarriage. The entire album is about it. Take the line "and I feel something is wrong, and I feel this cake just isnt done". Its probably her most personal record in my opinion. Great song. Great Lady. Genius indeed. Eric.
Right about Playboy Mommy (although a toddler wasted on vodka could realize that much--the lyrics are pretty damn straightforward), but woefully incorrect about Northern Lad.
I'm very familiar with the lyrics, ya toolbox. Why don't you go ahead and point to me a single line that even hints at masturbation. Oh, that's right...because if you did that would simply be further proof regarding your mental deficiency.
Dude, wtf are you talking about? I also don't think that Ironman is about eating at McDonald's but that doesn't mean that I have something against cheeseburgers. This song, Northern Lad, has NOTHING to do with beating off.
While you're out there shouting abuse at anyone you dont agree with why dont you take the time to interpt it with a literary mind instead of one from a grommet.
A perfect man, unobtainable, a definate fantasy. 'Had a northern lad, well not exactly had'...
'Girls its time to turn the page, when your only wet because of the rain' Surely I dont need to explain this part to you...
I could go on but Ill leave it up to you nord to figure the rest out.
Tori has many songs about masturbation, most albums have at least one wanking song. She is a woman firmly in control of her sexuality and is very frank about masturbation.
Dude....I am very much aware of Tori's subject matter. I have been a religious Toriphile ever since Little Earthquakes first hit the shelves, so take your holier than thou "I know more about Tori than you do" BS and stick it.
As for those lines you quoted from the song, you took 2 lines and interpreted them completely out of context from the rest of the lyrics. The "had a/well not exactly" line refers to a failed relationship (which is the focal point of this entire song, as made obvious by the ENTIRETY of the lyrics) and the "turn the page" line refers to moving on with life.
Do you by chance have Pretty Good Year from this video collection? It's very good, and all the versions on You Tube aren't all that good of that song. Just wondering?
Are there any other vids from that Librarian's DVD? I'd love to watch them, this one is so good. I thought I don't like Nothern Lad but after this one...
I was thinking the same thing about that line-- how you don't feel dirty singing it at; its not a cuss word, but a potent adjective lol. This live performance gives me chills , especially the ending.
This is my favorite song. I dedicate this one for my ex girlfriends that i've met 20 years ago. I met her recently, we are real friends now. Lydia, it is for you, let your heart speaking. Thank you for all. With Friendly love, Johan
hermosa cancion.. la voz la manera en como expresa.. todo loque envuelve Tori Amos.. hace que rompa todos los parametros de mi vida.. ypor un momento sienta como me hace sentir palpitar la sangre y me sienta vivir.. es simplemente hermosa..
I just came back across this after a few months. Love this song. Love that voice. Brings up so many emotions. Got over those. But then looked at the comments and thought Jesus - how many of us can evoke and deliver that kind of emotion and then put up with the criticism that even little comments can bring.
Either you are a drunk teenager making a snide comment or maybe you havent found yourself yet or, then again maybe its just me :)
One of my favorite songs by any artist, and the song of my life right now. "If you could see me now..." I cried the first time I heard it. Tori looks so beautiful here, too. <3
Artists typically do sound checks before the live audience arrives for the concert. Hence no audience, but if you happen to be around, it doesn't matter, it still moves you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can assure you it is yet another of Toris masturbation songs - do a bit of googling and you will find that it is definately one of her naughty songs. Tori is a womna firm ly in control of her sexuality and singing a song about fantasy and mastubation yet making it sound like a love song is part of her genius.
Oh really? Gosh that's my favorite Tori song. I didn't notice it could be about masturbation...But now you say it...!! lol ...it makes it geniusly even more interesting now! thanks.
"My heart goes out to where that song [Northern Lad] comes from. It's very much about thinking you were loved for who you were, and realizing you weren't and realizing maybe you don't love yourself.

I was thinking the same thing about that line-- how you don't feel dirty singing it at; its not a cuss word, but a potent adjective lol. This live performance gives me chills , especially the ending.

This is my favorite song. I dedicate this one for my ex girlfriends that i've met 20 years ago. I met her recently, we are real friends now. Lydia, it is for you, let your heart speaking. Thank you for all. With Friendly love, Johan

I just came back across this after a few months. Love this song. Love that voice. Brings up so many emotions. Got over those. But then looked at the comments and thought Jesus - how many of us can evoke and deliver that kind of emotion and then put up with the criticism that even little comments can bring.
Either you are a drunk teenager making a snide comment or maybe you havent found yourself yet or, then again maybe its just me :)

One of my favorite songs by any artist, and the song of my life right now. "If you could see me now..." I cried the first time I heard it. Tori looks so beautiful here, too. <3

Artists typically do sound checks before the live audience arrives for the concert. Hence no audience, but if you happen to be around, it doesn't matter, it still moves you.

One of my favorite Tori songs. She sounds every bit as great live as in studio. Brilliant.

Brilliant performance, but I think this is a sound check, not exactly a live performance.

Well, "live" as opposed to 'recorded in studio' is the intent here. :)

Another song about masturbation - Tori do you an obsession or something???

This has absolutely nothing to do with masturbation.... perhaps you're the one with the obsession.

I can assure you it is yet another of Toris masturbation songs - do a bit of googling and you will find that it is definately one of her naughty songs. Tori is a womna firm ly in control of her sexuality and singing a song about fantasy and mastubation yet making it sound like a love song is part of her genius.
Genius which you suckers seem to lack...

"My heart goes out to where that song [Northern Lad] comes from. It's very much about thinking you were loved for who you were, and realizing you weren't and realizing maybe you don't love yourself. The line, I guess you go too far/when pianos try to be guitars is just about never being enough. I felt that with my instrument sometimes, wanting to be Jimmy Page. You can only be you. A lot of times it's never enough for people."
VH1 storytellers.
It's about more than just masturbation.
