Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those old songs of Tori were much better than the newer ones...

[rocknguy]

thats so great, wow I miss when it was just a piano and a girl. and a few, very few colors added in. but you have to grow but yeah I do miss the, days of piss and vinegar.

[nakedcousin]

I love this song so much, it's gorgeous. Thank you for posting it!

[collectingbees]

my favourite T song. I wish she would play it live. :(

[UnzipYerReligion]

One of my favorites ever.

[TheLipglossBoost]

OMG: somebody finally posted it! I asked Tri to play this in Toronto 2009 but she did not remember it. Such a shame since I would love to hear it live! - Thx for posting this!

[stephaniethompson77]

Lovely. . thanks for posting.

[Grinnygog1975]

This demo was cowritten by Tori & Al Stewart - I never read a quote of the year. Probably 1988-1991. Tori sang backup on his LAST DAYS OF THE CENTURY album during the YKTR era & performed with him live on at least ONE occasion, as can be seen in a rare performance of his classic "Year of the Cat" here at YouTube. Go search for it!

"When I Was Dreaming" first appeared on a bootleg CD titled DREAMING back in 1994/95 - who knows where THEY got it from. I just wish the song didn't FADE IN!!!

[kylegreerrocks]

yeah, that clip is great! he introduces her by that russian name cuz she wasn't supposed to be there ;)...

[deathtouch100]

there are very early pics of her here. I love those pictures of her face. there are close ups that show that bottom lip I have always wanted to nibble on while I kissed her. Yeah wishful thinking, but someone gets to do it,lol

[damiencale]

This song reminds me of a couple of her early songs. To me it kind of sounds like leather and another song put together that I just can't put my finger on.

[MustangChris30]

I agree...sounds like Leather and Flying Dutchman to me

[withnulc]

@damiencale i hear the end of happy phantom

[bukva2008]

beatifully Tori!

[MuseOfSin]

Wow thanks! Its weird to hear a song of tori I ve never heard before...Was it with YKTR ? And the pics are great, there are some I ve never seen.

[Hereinmyhead102]

No, this was a demo for al stewart in 1988. Im still hording all the good tori stuff this just slipped out one night. Everyone else i think there are sites one the net the can rip audio from youtube and convert it to whatever format you wish.

[angievigilante]

@Hereinmyhead102  love you hereinmyhead!!!!!

[toribjork10]

@Hereinmyhead102 you're still hording all the good tori stuff? um, yeah... you can find all her demos and unreleased stuff everywhere all over the net lol. tori's probably one of the most bootlegged artist out there, you're not likely to have anything not ripped yet.

[Zeremonie206]

This is so beautiful! I've never heard this before! Is there anyway to get an MP3 of this?

[martintherobot]

that's such a refreshing song, it's great to experience - it's both tori but also the time (or that her very phase she was in) that's so great to get back to.

[lurksindarkness]

That was awesome

[CCarmen]

I LOVE the Myra Ellen recordings:) great job!

[vbean61]

Very pretty song. Never heard it before. Guess she never recorded it to an album. Does anyone know if she ever sang this song in any concert? How did you find it?

[boysforpele123]

Where did you get this song?...Ive been a fan of Tori for years now and have never heard this!! Glad I found it!

Thanks :)

[CornflakeGirl101]

Beautiful! Where did you get this version? The one I have is crappy quality and I am in love with this song and would love to have it in better quality.

[RuthAurora]

Yes, thank you :) These early Tori songs are so fresh, something kind of cool in the sound, like winter, I guess :)

[anastasia1009]

very nice thank you!!!

[hangingdj]

Oooooh I like!!!! Thanks for posting this. Never heard it before. :-)

[SpikeyKittens8]

beautiful, you can hear the emotion in her voice at every "when i was dreaming"

[SpikeyKittens8]

especially at 1.18! oh, tori-gasm...

[vacheamaillot]

really that's cool! Thanks!

[Lizzy1457]

Never heard it, but I love it lots! xoxoxoxo

[Jgerman]

i never heared this before? is it on an album?

[tortoise69]

It's a demo of a song Tori wrote for Al Stewart, before Little Earthquakes was underway.
