Tori Amos - Happy phantom demo 1

[leschatsmusicale]

I like the ending of this better than the album version

[fallbread]

i love this song she is so cool

[paysagebleu]

wow some of these photos i've never seen before...and this is a great version of happy phantom..thanks for posting

[Mrsteddyz]

I don't know how one person can be so beautiful and talented, and kind, not like artists (and I use that term loosely) today, spending millions on clothing and purses, and jewelry, when children are starving to death. Why do greedy people get the breaks? Anyway, I have a very fatalistic view, this song helps me not be so afraid to die, so thank you!

[Albanecer]

Thanks for posting this, i can hear the notes really clear, love it.

This is from the KBCO "World Class Rock" radio station out of Boulder, CO. They have sessions in "Studio C", a tiny closet-like room in the back of the station room, to this day, where touring artists could perform their songs acoustically. All the profits from the limited edition albums would go to AIDS research. This was on track 3 on Volume 2 of the series. This is probably one of the best on there.

Who is that at 2:15?

[styx3956]

@daj4444 That's Tash, her daughter. She's actually nine years old.

[daj4444]

I thought so, thanks for the information.

[jazzhopin]

1:26 Wow, Shes one of the most beautiful artists ever....

[olsman2008]

And if I die today, I'll be the happy phantom, and I go chasing the nuns out in the yard, and I'll run naked through the streets with all my musk on, and I'll never need umbrellas in the rain, I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day,...the happy phtantom has no right to bitch..will I pay for I've been? The time is getting closer, the time to be a ghost..Will we pay for who we've been..will you still call for me, when she falls asleep? And if I die today..

0:54 lmao

she's so cute. (:

[TomDemian]

she seems Regina!

[cornflakegirl48]

@TomDemian Regina came a lot later... :-p So I think Regina seems Tori... If you want to make comparison. :-) I think they are in the same style, though quite different. :-)

My mom died about 3 months ago... And she was a SERIOUS Tori Amos fan.... SHE LOVED her, and I had been listening to her since the time I was born. This song was one of her favorites, and it has a whole new meaning now. I really hope she's a happy phantom

[MrMountainshore]

@ChibiGothic194 So do I hope that she is :)

[themills02]

@ChibiGothic194 I've been a fan since my mid teens, I'm a mum now and I love NOTHING more than rocking out in the backyard with my daughter (she's 8 now) to this song, I suffer a degenerative disease and when i've had a bad day we turn it up on full volume and sing at the top of our lungs. I'm sure your mum is a happy phantom, and when I get to wherever we're supposed to go I'll rock on out with her!!

[iLOCOE]

I absolutely love this song<3

[anniefriday13]

I went to high school with Tori and I couldn't be happier for her success. She is truly amazing

[cocacola2254]

i love the part about Confucius...it's funny, since he was all about nothing new! (he was a Chinese philosopher who wrote a lot of a books about tradition and how new stuff stinks)

[HeartMotel]

[Hereinmyhead102]

[Hereinmyhead102]
