I'm crazy about this song, every version of it. The studio version, every live version possible, I can't even describe in words how perfect this is, and what feeling I get from this.
I've been listening to this for over 6 years and I can still listen to it the whole afternoon. Just perfect!
I listen to this and suddenly I find myself floating in the middle of the sea. Half of my body is cold, the part under the water, and the other half is hot, the one laying under the sun. I'm floating distortedly, I don't know where's the land, which way to look. How long have I been here? Then the song ends and I'm back again on a chair, looking at my screen. And I see that girl in the back clapping in the end, the one with long hair, smiling, just escaped, like me, alive from such a hugeness...
I've been listening to this video alot lately! I wish I could make a cd of some of the live versions of songs on YouTube so I could listen to good music in my car. Oh, I try the radio often . . . but there's no Tori on the radio and most of the songs suck (IMO)!
I can't describe this. I mean...I'm 33 years old and for some reason have never really spent time with this beautiful woman's art. I think this is the closest thing to a religious experience i have ever had! Just...amazing.
Tori is a great example of how to yield and extract great personal power from what you do in life without allowing it to corrupt you. Power and peace be with us. :) and would it be too much to say that the intense ceremonial feel of this song makes me feel like we don't have to be afraid of dying, that there is much more to life than we know today.
i don't want to sound ignorant, but i don't understand why she pronounces some words strangely - saying "tumbling down" like "tumbling dewn", and saying "is hot" like "is hoot". is that just how she expresses the music? it really comes out in her live performances of "me and a gun", and i just don't know what to make of it...
@nicolethebean85 - u said it nicole. she wants to express certain words & certain phrases more so. Many of us do this in conversation or other forms. (Italicizing words etc) I am an American but I am upset w/where our version of English is going & has gone. I say "TwenTy" & "WaTer" & people look@me like I have done some horrid injustice. That is the word-it is a "T" & surely not a "d". Just b/c some lazy people slur their speach -doesn't mean i should become incorrect. Tori's also aware of such.
@nicolethebean85 I do agree that the Amos version has some amazing qualities the Voltaire cover doesn't, but I think I'll still like the Voltaire one best ^^ I'm a loyal Voltaire fan =D
@Gothchick657 i had heard the voltaire cover before i heard the original version; it was always one of my favorites of voltaire (especially with that electronic-style beginning). but i gotta say, this amos original is so tumultuous and impassioned - it's just penetrating in a way that that the voltaire cover wasn't.
Is she mimicking Precious Things? She could sue herself for plagiarism ;) Or is this Precious Things Part II? Many many similarities, from the intro over the drums to the singing... I like Part I better.
You know this is the first I've heard of tori amos. Always assumed she was just another talentless act. I must say I was really fucking wrong. I especially love the "made my own pretty hate machine" reference to nine inch nails
This is one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard by Tori herself! She simply CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED! Honored, yes... but no one else stands a chance... she's too original! DIVA, DIVA, GODDESS yes!
depths within depths. with in a trancsending time that never seems to pull its weight out of the blackness. which is from constant gravity pulling all the sound .only to emerge on the otherside of the nova...i think im baked..peace to all.to tori you are a total amazing talent.all ways liked you
I adore this version... Sure her first live versions of this song were incredible, so much pain when she sang her. This version though, she sings so matter-of-factly. Sings it with passion yet with a more logical explanation hidden in her voice. Pain yes, but a good sense of why life can be so difficult. Tori has evolved that much. I appreciate her bringing her fans into her new mind frames by working hard on our beloved faves. Only Tori....
@sirex02 The heavy sound of the percussions do give this rendition of caught a lite sneeze a tribal feel. Personally, I adore the sessions improve. If you haven't seen it already, I advise you to check out the MTV Unplugged performance of caught a lite sneeze - exquisite!
i am crying, smiling, making-receving love, painting and dancing on the highest roof. who needs drugs? With these eyes I see you shine, dear Tori. Your music makes me so happy to be alive, now, here
We are BLESSED that this talent exists in our generation... As a young teen I thought all of our talented feminine writers existed merely in our textbooks. Thank you for giving us marvelous literature set to incredible music.
If I close my eyes and just listen when the song ends I feel like I have been in a ceremony some where with the Native American people. My breath calms down, my body rests, and the fear is gone.
The song is about an ex boyfriend of hers and the line "mr. st. john just bring your son" is just another way to say how hypocrite he is (a saint who has a son). Nothing to do with religion at all.
She's just totally indulging herself and us in the gorgeousness of her voice. It's been described as "angelic". It must be an amazing gift. Fun to hear.
This and Spark prove that I am merely a hack drummer. Wonderfully complex drum parts . He is quite exceptional at playing into, and wrapping around her songs. Cheers YA8
what?! I'm old and I get hrer lyrics! In fact this is one of her older diddies. The first time I heard this I was 17 I htink, maybe 18. I'm 32 now! c'mon, she writes the lyrics in the cd jacket man.
