  • Six people thumbs upped telling a boy who is not being defined by machoism to 'bang a hot chick in a degrading way and not call her back?'. Please don't do that. My partner is very masculine and loving and warm and loves Tori, Tool and Megadeath and other harder bands, and he loves me in a very respectable, loving and passionate way.

    

  • let me start by saying that i have listened to tori since almost the beginning of her career and that i never let anyone bother me about it. She is the best at what she does, period! Most amazing performer ive ever seen and i am a Metallica/ Megadeth type of guy. Her talent blows my mind and her voice is that of an angel. Awesome video for my favorite song of all time!!

  • And your video resonates beautifully with this song

  • There are no words to describe how beautiful this song is.

  • Beautiful!

  • Tori has a couple of songs that remind me of winter. If you could put the mood of the winter months into music, she did it. Then a couple of years ago she came out with " Midwinter Graces." I thought , cool she came out with a whole album like this. It sucked, it was just a bunch of altered Christmas carols. Like a Jazzy version of Jingle Bells, and crap like that.

  • No Country for old Men," can`t stop whats coming, it ain`t all waiting on you",

  • Your video is hauntingly intuitive to the song ~ bells means so much to me. There was a time when I couldn't understand, couldn't appreciate the sentiment behind it ..... but there was this girl, she hurt me very deeply. All I could do was listen to bells. And I was left with this one thought ~ maybe someone knows ~~ what's worse the death of a friendship or the death of a friend I always thought it was the latter until I till I lost the first.........................­.........

  • I love this song and what you made is gorgeous!

    I looked to up to go as a background to a short video I am making to depict the devastation here in the Catskills from the Catskills (floods from Irene). I love this version..can you tell me which one it is?

  • @henrysbestmom This is the album version.

  • The piano is a deconstructed old piano that Tori dismantled and put back together from what I understand.

  • I wish I could pick both "incredible" and "classic". I would send this to Tori, if you haven't already.This is what artists live for, for people to interpret a work of theirs for themselves, and I believe you have nailed the interpretation, both visually and "the vibe." I firmly believe Tori would be moved to tears by this. I agree with the previous posts that say this should be the official video. Congrats, and thank you for sharing your vision.Beautiful.

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MY FAVORITE SONG

  • I think this should be the official video for it! great job!

  • Brilliant! You really have a talent there....Thanks for this

  • Comment removed

  • The out of tune piano is brilliant. She is such an original.

  • @triplettam I believe it is only out of tune in the western tuning context. I am not sure that the instrument being played here is a piano. Whatever it is, it belive it tuned in some varied tuning system involving microtones, something more common in eastern music. I agree that it brilliant. i just discovered this song. It is beautiful.

  • @doctortabby I can see that. It is very effective no matter what.

  • @doctortabby its described as a "treated piano" on the sleeve notes :-) it sounds like theres some sort of stuff jammed in the strings or like the dampming has been altered and its been knocked out of tune.Or it might just be a knackered old paino they had lying about,there sone at my rehearsal studio thats pretty whacky too

  • <3...words? ...

  • I am not english native speaker, and of course I am not sure of the deeper meaning of the song, it seems has so many layers.

    But I think who cares!!! The point here is that I feel something touchable and emotional when I listen to this song, I like Tori Amos the way she sings herself in songs, thanks for your post :)

  • @mrdewdrop88 - This song is about best friends and how people can change that friendship - especially a romantic interest.

    At least, that's what I get out of it. ;-)

  • This should be the official video.

  • This is an amazing video! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

  • Absolutely a wonderful and haunting video!

  • This is so beautiful, the song the video, the choppy filming, the color of it. Its just perfect. I hope Tori sees this.

  • @eshellye Why thank you. singed Tori Amos  he he

  • @eshellye Just kidding,he he

  • Awesome video!

    

  • I haven't listened to this song in years and years, still beautiful, still devastating. When I originally heard it on the album Under the Pink, it brought me to tears, I think it's my favourite Tori track.

    I wish I liked this ladies music today as much as I did back then but I'm not in that place anymore, oh well...

  • This video is simply enchanting. Watching it is like being transported through time to a small nook in the past where life is magical and the natural landscape is center stage. I congratulate your beautiful creation and hope that you make more videos like this one which is so inspirationally poetic and old-fashioned!

  • this is absolutely beautiful. I've only listened to live versions of this song recently, thanks for helping me re-discover the original :-)

  • I totally love your video WOW!

  • haunting and lovely. cheers to your talent.

  • this video is perfect for the song

  • This really shows a lot of talent. Can't wait to see what else you create. Excellent job.

  • Absolutely rivieting!

    This is stunning!

  • the olden tale. yes i react. you have (or had) a cute sister.

  • Excellent video for a very special song.

    The paltry few who didn't like this have no soul or imagination.

  • Your video is incredible!!! Beautiful, powerful and very emotional. Purely perfect for this song!

  • Beautifully done. You depicted the feeling of this song perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing this piece of artwork.

  • @beegirl4life

    This video is amazing really. Amazing. It makes me cry. Thank you for making this and posting it here.

  • This is lovely.

  • This is absolutely beautiful and incredibly powerful. I tip my {non existant} hat to you good sir / lady.

  • One of Tori's most impressive compositions - and that's saying something

  • very spiritual this song....

  • some boy having his masculinty questioned because he likes Tori Amos? here's something to keep in mind. After school, you'll never see most of those worthless people again, and odds are they will have no bearing on your adult life at all. Just make sure you show up drunk at reunions and nail the former hot chick in a very degrading way, and never call her again.

  • @MagellansUnderwear

    i started listening to this album when i was 17 year old..and yes im a guy! good music is good music.

  • @MagellansUnderwear i wouldn't question your masculinity at all. thats a very very male thing to say

  • Schmerzt. L.T. Oscar.Denke an dich.

  • years ago, I heard this song and it touched me. while reading the lyrics, i never had a clue what it meant, nor did i expect to understand it. sometimes toris very vague. then, it happened to me. and suddenly , reading the lyrics now, i knew what it all meant. made me cry. it all makes sense now.

    i dedicate this song to a friend of mine who meant everything and was everything in my life. my brother, my teacher, my sister, my lover....and who is now, my own enemy.

  • This song holds a memory for me of a friend that's gone.

    The video is perfect. I thank you for your vision.

  • made me cry. 

  • I love this, I really do, but the shakiness of the camera is making my eyes hurt!

  • @ront67 epilepsy is a horrible disorder.

  • @BabyblueQtPie4u It is, isn't it?

  • Beautiful, poetic video!

  • Totally amazing video. I love this song and I have no words to express what I felt when I watched it. Thanks!

  • you've done a wonderful job! hope Tori & co. don't strip the audio off like they do the other studio tracks on youtube. i'd like to hear 'Not the Red Baron' & 'Happiness is a warm Gun'.............. but nope. Next stop: Limewire

  • @mouthofknives Not the Red Baron is hands down my favorite song by Tori....im feeling you there!

  • The most beautiful Tori song.. And finally a video it deserves...

  • Amazing video interpretation. I've been listening to this for nearly 20 years and your work here truly captures the essence and spirit.

  • Chicks in the snow.

  • Two people are either blind or don't have eyes and ears.

  • beautiful. gorgeous. overwhelming. brought tears to my eyes

  • This is awesome *__*

  • this is so cool i love it

  • Tori is Beautiful.

    Nice vid also,

  • I wonder if Tori has actually seen this video... I'd be curious to know what she thought of it... I, for one, think it's just beautiful...

  • This fan-made video respects and honors very finely the spirit of Tori Amos' song. I think the video is a very beautiful small masterpiece. Love it!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing video for an amazing song.

    Wow.

  • I see something quite similar in my mind when i hear this song. you´ve made a beautiful yet heartwrenching vision of that song. well done.

  • This song is about one of her best friends who made choices that harmed her and Tori could not stand to watch her crumble and soon her spirit to die....Her friendship with her friend did resolve many many many years later way after bells for was written....I love you TOri

  • I have no words for this...I'm serious. This is beyond gorgeous, and so fitting for the song.

  • this song makes me think of my childhood friend who lost her entire sense of self when she married a guy that treated her like crap....in the process of trying to conform to what he wanted her to be, she bacame a totally different person. now they're divorced and everytime i see her, it's like looking at the ghost of what once was my sister.

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • oh my, i shed a tear shen she did the hand clap thing with the cross while lying on the ground next to the grave....you just projected what would play in my head while i use to listen to this cd when i was younger...while i would try to sleep with my headphones on...yes, definatly enchanting

    stars for you*

  • Wow, this is just amazing. Not only the song is amazing, but your video, too.

  • Congradualations, you just made me cry.

  • What an exquisite video, and a perfect compliment to Tori's haunting song! BRAVO!

  • This is the best video I've ever seen on YouTube. Whoever did it? I love you.

  • @TheCannonofMohammed Whoever you are...love ya 2 :)

  • @beegirl4life the most beautiful image of this beautiful music. you joined our emotions on this musical nostalgic melancoly... thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • I love the video - indeed it fits the song so well, and is given extra meaning by your own story of how it was made and what it means to you.

  • I love this video...so perfectly in keeping with the music and beautifully understated

  • This was very well done.

  • we need more doll songs

  • great videos

  • Works Perfect!

    Congrats

  • I watched this again today. Love the choppy filming and the faded look. Really well put together. And perfect with Tori's sad and haunting song.

  • This is really beautiful !!

  • love ur video 4 this!

  • Excellent video to an amazing song...thank you so much

  • me gusta

    like it

    .

    .

  • great job!! this video is very good, this is one of my favourite Tori's songs

  • What a beautiful vid<333

  • I think what this song is trying to convey is how a child's innocence is lost from incest. Unfortunately millions of children in this country have suffered from the hands who supposebly love them. We need to bring awareness to this problem and protect our children in this country.

  • wow, Thank you! even tho i didnt understand the words i could fill the deep sadness ... beautiful...

  • i love this song so much - i wish someone cold explain me what this song is really about

  • It's about whatever it means to you.

  • still, it probably would be easyer for me if my english was better... (im from israel :)

  • When Tori was interviewed by the Baltimore Sun (American newspaper) in 1994, she explained that this song is meant to convey the dissolution of a relationship she had with a woman--a friendship that dissolved somehow. She described it as a "betrayal" of each other. I don't fully understand what she meant by that, but it seemed to be a general feeling about relationships between women--how complicated and hurtful we can be to one another.

  • interesting... thanks

  • @lucybells0 Bells For Her is about Beenie, who was in an abusive relationship with a man at the time of Tori's writing UTP. Tori tried to get Beenie to see that, but that backfired and so they had a falling out. When you think about abusive relationships, you often see women sticking up for the abusive men. We can't recognise them. Hence "you have her face and her eyes, but you are not her."

  • Loves!

  • this is just beautiful... i listen to this song on every first snow, and in my mind i always saw imagery similar to this. thank you for sharing :)

  • good enough to be official

  • Gosh, that was incredible, thank you xx

  • Ok, what is the "haunting efffect"? And where are the lyrecs? And wat video has this song 4 a video on the world ending?

  • What is the video about? And where is it from?

  • I owe it all to my step sister, cause without her I wouldn't know the name of this song! :P I don't even know half the songs I listen to. P.S. Thank god for spell check on my iPod... I might have spelled something wrong, that would get this removed... If I tell anyone at school that I listen to this, they'd probably call me a panzy. Only cause they're insecure.

  • Don't you dare to listen to any of the frightfully insecure kids at school. Anyone who can appreciate the quality of Tori's music must be pretty remarkable themselves!

  • @TTLYPerfect

    i agree =)

  • @TTLYPerfect TTLYAgree!

  • @TTLYPerfect there's a lot of truth in that. so what if you got teased for liking tori amos anyway? wouldn't bother me. wouldn't recommend broadcasting it to violent bullies unless they are frightened of you but it's just not helpful to be ashamed of what you like and why should you be if it hurts no-one? all the strongest people and biggest players i know will readily admit to things that would mortify most and don't get teased much about these things, because it doesn't bother them...

  • Haunting effect? I really like this song, as well as those by Enigma , depeche mode, and Amarantine. There's more... It's one of my favs too. The video is good- wait, no it's not "good", it's great.

  • Although this is not the original video, when you wouldn't have mentioned it than people would think it is the original. Well done!

  • this is haunting and so beautiful and sad. wow. i'm blown away

  • Beautiful ... very well made, you should be proud :)

  • This is a haunting scary beautiful video.

    You did an excellent job making this.

  • Does anyone know what this song is really about. It's absolutely beautiful. As well as this video. It made me cry. It was so well done and fit perfectly. I love both. If anyone can tell me what thissong is abouit i'd really appreciate it.

  • In an interview she says this song's about a woman who is with a man who treats her like shit.

    "Now she seems to be sand under his shoes."

    For me this has the vibe of a world's end. Someone used this song cleverly in a video explaining the world coming to an end thru an asteroid cloud. Very emotional.

  • Thank you! Do you have the link for the other video?

  • one of my favourite songs

  • This was tori at her best: Under the Pink. This song has a haunting effect in the lyrics but it reveals truth. I love this!!!

  • The video is a beautiful tribute, lovely in its simplicity. Excellent interpretation! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • Amazing, completely gorgeous!

  • this is beautiful.

    it's a song that has lots of meaning for me too. Thanks for this wonderful tribute.

  • song is beautiful, as always

    the video is utterly evocative

    thank you, both

  • I shared last comment half way through the video and then you hooked me further with the patty cake at the grave. Invoked tears! Very well done Beegirl4life.

  • Beautiful tribute video for a beautiful song!

  • this video is very touching. And coherent with the song, i think. that is a god job. Simple and working. Thank you very much.

    guigui, french fag

  • This video should be the official one, I love it

  • Like sisters blanket...don't let go of your girlfriends..they know you better than anyone else.

  • Mine always want to have twinsister...

  • This song always breaks my heart because everything in it feels so inevitable, including loss...

  • This is incredibly brilliant and beautiful.

  • So beautiful. All of it.

  • the fairy tale electric piano version at Apollo Odeon 2005 is so haunting-it sounds more of a vision of impending apocalypse than of 2 friends as she says-

    Tori has been visited out of the blue by a native american woman who warned her of what she had seen

    'The center does not hold'

    the words could nicely dovetail into Native American prophecy, and while this is my HO, she is hardly going to say on interviews "oh, that song-its about the coming great destruction of the planet by greed"

    is she?

  • Tori has native american heritage which is deeply rooted into her being. I have Cherokee heritage and understand her perceptions and sensitivity to virtually everything. As I get older, it becomes even more evident.

  • Brought tears to my eyes... simply stunning job. I'd love to see more like this.

  • Beautiful,

    you get it.

    wish more people would

    bless you

  • This video captures the essence of womanness.

  • absolutely right! :)

  • You did an awesome job.

  • Whoever shot this, I hope you are considering a career in film - this is magnificient and very creative, wonderfully done!

  • Spiritual!

  • sometimes you hear a song.and you think has the artist read my thoughts,because the song so touches you..and lives with you.this video along with Tori words..and many of our thoughts,although haunting does just that.

  • Im impressed. You ve put so much of fillings in creating that ;)

  • how beautiful can be music.....love you Tori

  • Haunting...absolutely beautiful.

  • Wonderful, my friend.

  • Hey beegirl4life, i so love what you have done here! It's superb. You certainly have captured something special which resonates so well with the song. I have always loved this song of Tori's. I once met her, and let me tell you, She was exactly as sweet as you would imagine! Thanks for posting... (:o)

  • this song is about water... and that what is to come... the vortex connection with earth and subconscious... :)

  • Dark, romantic, beautiful.

  • Beautiful!

  • this song is so incredible and haunting. gaaa!

  • beautiful

    awesome

  • this is beautiful. it made me cry.

    for me, this song has always reminded me of a childhood friend i had, well up until a few years ago actually. she was the most important person in my life and it's because of her that i am who i am...

    but she stopped talking to me, blocked me out entirely, along with a lot of things from her past. and there's nothing i can really do about it...

    this song really illustrates that for me.

    beautiful work.

  • i believe this song is about her friend that was molested by a man in her family. I know one of her songs is about that. I'm not sure which one. I read it in one of her many books. She has another song about her miscarriage . Very sad songs most of them are.

  • Wow! amazing video! How did you get it to look like that?

  • I think the songs talks about her other personality inside her the one thats very sore of sad that suffer all things in life so she can not seem to stop this character from ending her life... very cute song and meaningful...

  • a Most Beautiful Thoughtful Song... Some of Us Have Been There.

  • Stunning. Beautiful. Such a pure emotional connection to the song.

  • Wow!

    This video has just captured the emotion of this song so perfectly.

    It very haunting.

    Amazing.

    <3

  • what a great song and video..<3

  • Absolutely stunning.

  • i feel the same way about the song!!!!

    it always made me think of winter, snowy, cold time

  • by far her best work... were all fading man i love this song...thank you jesus...

  • time passes by fast but some little moments seems so long.

  • wow I think you did an awesome job on this video

  • beautiful x
