[chochamsprime]

isnt tori amos a satanist

[Drok333]

My favorite holiday song, love this version, always have

[BrennanandBoothlove]

I love the piano from 0.27 though 0.29 when Brennan waved at Parker

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[vergesseneodia]

I always cry to this..I'm glad other people do too :P

[TVtangcameo]

One more thing! It wasn't the only CD extra to come out back then named Spark by her. So check the songs on the back!

[TVtangcameo]

Hello All! Major Tori Amos fan here. If you want the CD for this, it's a special edition release that came out around her Choirgirl Hotel album (I haven't seen it since). It's called Spark and the song list on the CD is Spark / Macthirsty's Lounge Bsides/ Purple People [Christmas In Space]/ HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS/ Bachelorette --- I reccomend Amazon or searching the independent new/used CD shops. Good luck! Merry Christmas!

[davejailhouse]

@TVtangcameo

Yeah I've had this cd for many years. I collected all of her singles and rarities up till around the Venus and Back era.. She has a huge catalog! Probably more b sides, covers and live tracks than just about anyone other musician out there..

[MusicalRose23]

i WISH i could find the accompaniment for this.. so perfect..

[fish3plum]

I love this song

[slomotionaction]

i absolutely love this version because most musicians over sing the last part, yet in her case it fells more powerful yet subtle and emotional too. i thank the uploader of this video and its my third christmas ive watched this now, heres too mote yet to come.

[TeamKween2010]

Happy Holidays guys! <3

[daisies53]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[5450daniel]

I WISH THERE WAS AN INSTRUMENTAL TO THIS!!!!

[angelbuffybones]

Bones :')

[MrJSingram]

Not bad, but strange pronouncing of words and some very odd breathing. For best and most moving version go to Judy Garland's original.

[jennywhitley80]

Beautiful. I keep replaying it. Also like the Celtic Women singing it.

[stuartshame]

@jennywhitley80 It is lovely. But she's not Celtic. It's Tori Amos and she's American. This was one of the b sides to her single "Spark".

[jennywhitley80]

@stuartshame Notice I said 'also'. I know she's American. I am too. I was saying I like the Celtic Women group singing this song too.

[stuartshame]

@jennywhitley80 Oops! My bad. Sorry.

[jennywhitley80]

@stuartshame It's okay. I've had those moments :)

[beautifulchicka171]

This is the best version of this song. Tori Amos really sings it beautifully doesn't she? I will not listen to any other version. Thanks for this video. :) Merry Early Christmas!

[Retrodaydream]

oh my god this is the most beautiful version ever..tori's voice is magic

[marissafingerfighter]

I have fallen in love with this song! I heard it on Bones and youtubed it and here I am! Its October and I can't get enough of it!

[nakedcousin]

She miscarried during christmastime in 1996. That's the reason why she is doing this. This comes from a place of pain and sorrow during a time when most people are happy and celebrating the birth.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

The only time I was ever really happy was during childhood holidays...when I believed in something, and the snow and Christmas lights just looked so surreal. My family all around me, at a time when I actually enjoyed being around them. Everything felt warm and magical.

Things have gotten so, so far from whatever feeling that memory held.

[slariley]

Beautiful...but makes me feel so sad. I think it's because my grandfather used to like to sing this to us grandkids.

I miss him.

[VicoddinkaBrennan]

Bones Through me Here!

[mimibair]

bones forever love you



[mimibair]

i heard this on bones and fell in love with it me and my bf danced to it 2 times it changed me i had a big problem with not forgiving and i am now able to forgive and for get

[MsAnitaLuna]

This song truly is beautiful. I first heard it in Bones and never really tried to find it. I was watching Fox Crime today and Bones was on. I heard the song and decided I just HAVE to find it.

[fernandoironic1]

The best version of this song, in my opinion. And I'm not a big fan of Tori's songs, but her voice is flawless here!!

[homedawg1996]

ooooo merry little chrisma

[Karolcia1993]

so breathtaking... I love you, Tori.

[viasia123]

I originally heard this in Bones and just fell in love with it. Her voice is just so gorgeous. Love it.(:

[awstrali]

bones <3, anybody know whats happenin with it in the uk? sky just stopped playing it =/

[deviousisland]

I can't stop listening to this!

[NikolaMusic1]

My favorite Christmas song ever. I also have a video of me performing it live in my channel. Happy Holidays :)

[beatacatthegreat]

The most magical, breathtaking version of this song, undoubtedly. :) <3

[TischasiZzta24]

I can totally see the whole scene from Bones in front of my eyes hearing that song...

[Loves2pluck]

Anyone have an idea where I can find THIS version's instrumental/karaoke/sing-a-lo­ng version? Need it for a christmas show, thanks ahead :)

[nicolewolfmagen]

heart wrenching song. touches me to my deepest depths.

[redblues]

It is way too early for this...but watching Season 1, Episode 9 of Bones, I heard this playing...and it actually brought tears to my eyes. I hunted down the song to this video. This is the best version of this song I have ever heard, and it trumps all the modern versions. Like I said, it is way too early for Christmas...but I'm not sure I care anymore. I'm going to be in a good month for the next two months because of this song. Thank you, Tori Amos. Merry (early) Christmas.

[singurheartout569]

@redblues I agree!

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@redblues I am so with you on the BONES episode. This is not only the best version of this song but that was the best episode of BONES.

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove Although "The man in the fallout shelter" was a good episode, I don't think you can beat "The end in the beginning". Every intern and other unforgettable characters are in this episode (plus is was great to see Booth and Brennan together).

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Wow you are reading my mind. The End In The Beginning and The Man In The Fallout Shelter are the two best episodes of BONES there are. I love everything about both of them. Another great episode was The Part In The Sum Of The Whole. Have you seen that one??

~*~*Ripley~*~*

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove Oooohhh ! I love that one too. You and me just have this deep BONES connection ;D

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan I know right, What is another one of your favorites?? See if I can guess ha ha

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Yeah that is a funny one, of course Brennan trusts Booth! Another one of my favorites is The Hole In The Heart. Poor Vincent, he was my favorite.. Have you seen all the episodes??

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove I dont' cry often but it was so sad :,( Sweets is so cute "Seriously? Thats like....my jam." I'm in Australia so I'm not sure if there are any new ones I've missed, but I've seen up until recently (I know she's pregnant).

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Yes that episode was so very good and so sad. I loved Vincent, he was my favorite of the interns, I think he was everybody's that's why they killed him off. And I love Sweets, he's my favorite. Yes she is pregnant, she was pregnant in real life. She had a little boy at the end of September and named him Henry. Have you seen any of the episodes where she is pregnant??

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove Yeah I heard about Emily's kid. I don't think I have seen the others :/ I think we've only just finished season 6 here.

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Ahh ok, it's pretty good and I'm impressed with what they're doing so far. Do you watch any other shows?

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove Sorry for the late reply. I also watch Castle, Criminal Minds (didn't really like suspect behaviour), I know it's sad but I'm JUST getting into Doctor Who, anything really. What about you? (pleasetellmeyoulikecastle pleasetellmeyoulikecastle)

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Yes I do like Castle, it's good and cute and sweet and funny but it's not BONES....At all, but I do like it. Have you seen the finder episode of BONES??

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove I have, and I have also been catching up on some of the pregnant Brennan episodes. I new the day would come when they would eventually get together, and I wanted it too. But now that they are... it's kind of weird, like the ninth season of Scrubs, it's right, but it's...just...weird.

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Yes it is very weird that they are together now. I know Emily was pregnant in real life it's just very weird see Brennan pregnant. Although I'm still kind of against them together I admit I love it they are. I love their kisses, it's so sweet. Have you see Booth..Well David I guess it would be in buffy the vampire slayer or Angel??

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove I don't want to in case I don't like them, it would just ruin me for my friends :p

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Ahh, They're pretty good. He's great in them, course he's better in BONES but. What episode aired last there??

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove Well because season 6 just ended last year we haven't had any of the season 7 episode yet. But today I think actually they will be showing the first one.

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Oh that's cool, it's a good episode impressive and I was happy and still am happy with how they're handling this whole baby thing. I loved the ending when Brennan tells Booth she's pregnant. It was very good acting on both their parts and the song in the background. Adele's Make You Feel My Love I have become addicted to Adele's 21 album have you heard it?? SOOO good.

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[TashBarlahan]

@BrennanandBoothlove Yeah, I totally agree. I haven't heard all of her song, just the ones they play in the radio. I listen to mostly YouTube artists. She has a really great voice though.

[BrennanandBoothlove]

@TashBarlahan Yeah she's great, I knew of her but after hearing her Make You Feel My Love song on BONES I bought the c.d one of my best purchases ever.

~*~*Ripley*~*~

[brunettebabyyx]

i think i broke the repeat button :)

[mikesamillion27]

i was watching bones this morning before i went out and it was this episode and i just melted inside when this song came on :)

[singurheartout569]

@mikesamillion27 me too.. ;)

[xmisstogox]

my favourite christmas song :)

[passsword95]

3 people who are stuck in the airport for christmas hit the dislike button

[passsword95]

This makes me remember my horse who died on christmas day freinds who are dear to us gather near to us once more oh Bruce i wish i could hug you one last time :(

[saxnova]

"Have yourself oooooooo (sic) merry little Christmas..." hmm.

"Let your home be light..." hmmm.

"Gather near to us, WAHNSE (naked Bjork steal) more..." hmm.

and the piece de resistance...

"Chri- mas"?!?

By far the most affected and melodramatic singer in pop music. Whatever happened to good taste?

[floooble3]

Tori Amos's version of this song is easily my favorite. I heard it for the first time last Christmas and it really encapsulates what makes this song great -- perfectly depicting the subtle, sad nature the holiday can bring.

[mariskarox]

when shes saying christmas is it me or is she not saying the s, but i love the song so beautiful

[cantcny]

@mariskarox

experienced singers avoid letters that the mic picks up in a negative way. S, B, D, P.

[drbg118]

it sends shivers up my spine

[jmci48]

A great Christmas song - and Tori Amos gives it just the right touch of melancholy.

[Numendil]

2:46 always makes me gasp for air. It's unbelievably powerful.

[velvetjosephine]

<3 <3 <3

[mrcorkles]

I loves me some Tori!

[drkglass01]

It is Have yourself "a" merry little Christmas Tori!

Not "oh".

Just Kidding, Love Tori:)

[mikemgmve]

The earliest Ive seen this on a CD was the Kevin & Bean Christmas CD from 99 (Kevin & Bean's Last Christmas) - her version is actually titled "Christmas in Space" - I don't know if it was released on anything else before that

[schroeder666]

I believe you're thinking of a song titled "Purple People (Christmas in Space)" which is something else.

[mikemgmve]

@schroeder666 Nope, I have the actual CD, and that's what the track was titled then.

[acbmjb1]

@mikemgmve

i have been unable to find this CD in the USA except for about $80 in the UK. Do you know where I can get it. Would you consider making me a copy? Thanks

Art Bustamante (California) acbmjb@aol.com

[mikhailangelo14]

she shouldve include this on her mid winter grace album

[drbg118]

it still gets me every time!! I love it soooo much

[0Paniic]

this song in the christmas episode of bones, season one... it makes me cry D: such a beautiful cover

[Libertain69]

This song means a lot to me. I agree it is the best cover of this song. I would die to hear it live. Only Tori could do it this way. A MUST for Christmas...

[01dunno]

Listen to Mel Torme sing this song...everytime I do I cry.

[QueenIsLove39]

finally i found it. i've been looking for this version forever. FANSTASTIC cover. best there is i think

[frissium]

Deepest full of emotion. Amazing!

[SublevelSA]

Best version ever,so haunting and sad.

[photofreak003]

I heard this on Bones and fell in love! It's so far my favorite cover of this song.

[moviechick9620]

same here!!!!!!

[terrapinbrad]

Tori is an absolute goddess. What expression, passion and artistry! I love her so much (and her music too)... ;-}

[drbg118]

i totally love this song. it's the bast version EVER!!!!!!!

[rubberducktastic]

Like many people I first heard this song on Bones and I have absolutely fallen in love with it...

The best Merry Little Christmas cover out there!

[QueenOfTheWeevils]

heard it on bones too :) love it!!

[rubberducktastic]

Nice username :)

[themagikman]

it's on the "Hey Jupiter" single as a B-Side.

[gluefairy09]

can you buy this on itunes? can't find it!

[nickitheboo]

i cant find it on itunes either...or anywhere else to be honest :(

[rubberducktastic]

or Spotify...

[QueenOfTheWeevils]

its not on there :( so annoyed! I really would love this for xmas. apparently it was on the album spark which itunes doesn't sell anymore :(

[slothsh]

This is the best version of this song I've ever heard!

[reginamcmorris]

Where did you get this version? I think I heard it in a store while I was shopping but never knew where to find it.

[SingerKId12]

I heard it on the show bones

[ajdadulla]

I cry whenever I hear this song. It's sad and beautiful.

[snicklefritzie]

This is my favorite Tori 'cover'. And I had it on cd looong before it appeared on 'Bones'. It's on an import cd for Spark.

[11031994sim]

this sent shivers up my spine. really sad but nicee

[litesneezer]

I'm a MASSIVE Tori fan but I have to say I sort of agree with you there

[bimbokal]

nice

[Seattle1951]

Thank you so much for posting this song. I looked for it everywhere!! Awesome version!. Sadly, it is not on her new Christmas album, so I'm glad we can enjoy it here!

[fnnkybutt]

Funny how a song with lyrics about all the joy of the season is the song that seems to bring tears to the most eyes. :) I know I can't listen to it without shedding a few.

[wagglet3]

i heard this version of this song on the tv show Bones and i thought it was the most beautiful version of this song id ever heard. normally i dont like this song, but this version makes me love it

[Lay1894]

LOL!!! Bones is the reason I fell in love with this song in the first palce!!

[RowlingScones]

Me too!

Luv this song...

[theLOLsincorporated]

@Lay1894 That episode was one of the best. Season 1 was great...it seems like they're getting worse as the show goes on....they need another episode like that one(:

[singurheartout569]

@theLOLsincorporated They do need another one of these heart wrenching scenes. I teared up a bit in that scene...

[singurheartout569]

@Lay1894 me too! This has to be my fav episode!

[mileynatalialeal]

@Lay1894 I think the same

[xheartilly]

I happened to hear this song while my sister was watching Bones and I fell in love! I went to find it as soon as that scene was over.

[thefreakyorange]

lol, same here... except I was the one watching Bones

[ourlovegotlost]

What is this from? I saw to do this song in like Sept or so in St. Louis. STUNNING. Changed my thoughts of the song forever.

[matrixandraia]

I already liked this song, and I love Tori Amos. Her version of this song... her version is just beautiful...

[MattRichards711]

Wow, this version is great! But...it just doesn't seem like a song Tori would sing, it surprised me. Then again, her father was a minister, I heard he pressured her for years and said "Myra Ellen, why can't you do a Christmas song?" Either way, I'm glad she did it.

[Marjosa]

She's actually coming out with a Christmas album this year, and I heard she's going on a solo tour for a few weeks to promote it. Even more surprising! :)

[lovenomore731]

I love her version of this song. The first time I heard it was on Bones and my eyes welt up with tears. Beautiful.

[Dancincow990]

I love this version - makes me cry when i watch the xmas episode

does anyone know where i can get tori amos' version, i have tried itunes, limewire etc and i can't seem to find it anywhere!?

[Marjosa]

You can find this version on Diagnosed Sounds...just google it, and it should pop up. They also have other b-sides as well as live performances. :)

[rybigbee01]

Can't wait for her Christmas compilation!

[airbag97]

best version of this song. amazing

[RAINintoTEARS]

thank you soo much for putting this on here in great quality and the full song! this is beautiful my fave verison probably thanks!

[marymadryn09]

It really makes me cry

it's special

[verrru]

wow, that was wonderfull, as usuall..;)

[1deedee1]

Bones 4 ever:)

[Charmedx94x]

It took me ages to work out where id heard it and it was BONES xx x x

[vicko77]

@1deedee1 i have just seen the episode... for me Bones used to be very intelectually funny, and i love that sense of humor, but the time swept out the fun away and now i take it as a bit boring thing. but this episode was great, cos usually christmas episodes are very emotional. this song made my day. we, in eastern europe, we dont know some christmas songs from western world, we have our own, and i fell in love with this song .... ;)

[singurheartout569]

@1deedee1 You are totally right!

[mileynatalialeal]

@1deedee1 Zack is my favorite character in the program

[CelticRaE19]

omg i never new tori sang this this is beautiful as always

[anastasia1009]

I love this song - Christmas isn't the same without hearing this song

[lilnaiveperson]

I know you're gonna laugh but this song actually makes me cry. Her voice is so beautiful.

[Marjosa]

I tear up whenever I listen to it too. Don't worry about it. :)

[scorpionmuse]

@lilnaiveperson Well i am the same way about Tori Songs. :) I know its May but to hear her sing a Christmas song makes me warm.

[StrawberryPez]

Just found a copy of the 4-track CD single "Spark" which has this recording on it. So happy!

[meowthno1]

This version outdoes any. I remember the Bones episode, too - the song matched the mood perfectly.

[McDreamyReturns]

Love this version... heard it in the Bones Season 1 Christmas episode. Really gorgeous song.

[Feints]

(: Same

[tyronnarito]

i like this version

*goosebumps*

[legallyblond76]

This version is second only to Judy Garland's original version. It always chokes me up.
