Tori Amos Putting the Damage on

[ragepoppa]

she makes me feel things I have never felt when she does what she does.

[msgribbin]

Hard to express just how brilliant this is......

[WilderWein77]

This is one of the most intense songs ever.

[LunaSeaSane]

Fully agreed on.

[livefortheday]

Tears. Every damn time.

[rfgstl]

@livefortheday > Same here. Tori is one of the very few artists that can bring about such emotion within me.

[happyphantom76]

This video was my first time ever when I saw and heard Tori Amos...

My 12-months-old daughter cried when the video was over and we watched it about ten times in a row :)

This year I met Tori in Moscow. She is just amazing. She is a miracle.

[Multiryan1982]

Wow....its so nice to see her mystical beauty. Thats one thing I've always loved about Tori.....

[georgiethegreek]

Angie Dickinson is an actress who played a cop on a show called Police Woman circa 1974. She played a character that was strong and beautiful, someone every little girl wanted to grow up to be. Ground-breaking at the time...

[brandage]

Stellar....

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

you know what's odd about this? it's an amazing performance - in fact it's the precise moment I became a Tori fan. but if you compare this to the original TV broadcast, which is ver poor quality because of being ripped from VHS, you notice that this high quality version has had the heart ripped out of it by compression or something. nothing like as dynamic. is it just me?

[accidentsrmelancholy]

amazing!

[martianboy]

Anyone know what her Angie Dickinson impression would be?

[ouestlesinge]

Pele is my fave Tori album...I think in lots of ways its the least immediate - its sometimes the only music that will do when Im giving myself a hard time tho (and I DO think that its about giving yourself a hard time rather than anybody else doing it to you)

[lubietwojekalesony]

the queen <3

[J2TKcapIRK]

:) whats an updo?

Just love this song, it sticks to me, :)

[ChiannaTheNevarii]

*..A very sad song,but really precious...*Now...it´s perfect for the moment I´m living...shame...but...pretty song...

*..Tori has this hability to reach you deeply,where anyone can do it so easily,just with music!!!!...*

She´s Great,& Unique!!!!;)

[EMHbass]

God bless that woman

[mhatsko]

Truly a child of god.

[ccrumpster]

Two things: A) This song can always bring me to tears and B) Those french horns are both haunting and romantic. LOVE this video! "Don't make me scratch on your door, I never left you for a banjo"...So good...

[rimbaudboy]

its so amazing to have followed tori amos from her first tour to her last show i saw here in los angeles last december. at first it was like young girls with their gays, then the girls started bringing their boyfriends, husbands, etc..but the gays still came with their boyfriends in massive crowds. now its so amazing to see everyone there from older couples to little kids with their parents. this may sound sound weird and i'm a total gay so i can use the term loosely. tori is amazing. rimbaudboy

[nottheredbaron]

where was she performing this??

boys for pele is the greatest album of alltime. ever. never to be beaten.

[BoysForPele1989]

I concur, lol.

[nottheredbaron]

you have good taste

and good user names!

[phoenixshade3]

This was on the British TV program "Later with Jools Holland" on BBC2. I think this is a 1996 appearance.

I agree with your assessment of Boys for Pele. I've bought at least four copies of it over time due to lending it out and having it mysteriously never return...

[nottheredbaron]

my mom raided my cds when I was a kid

and made me rummage sale BFP

(coz of the pig picture of course)

some old guy bought it at the rummage haha!

but anyway a few years later I re-bought it

and she didn't care :P

[ENeithneYA]

So touching..There are no words to describe this beauty.

[Alitisses]

Omg!Yes that's so true!

Tori is the only artist i know that can affect someone's life so deeply than anyone else.She has some kind of healing touch..Her creations will always be one of the greatest parts of my life.Thank u for everything Tori.

[BoysForPele1989]

i agree, and people just do not understand the complexity. They are not willing to even try.

i just got done arguing with some "poor unfortunate soul" who thinks Madonna is the pinnacle of creativity. "What a thought"

[cesplaisirs]

Madonna IS creative and a good interpreter of feminism --in her own peculiar way. I am a huge, huge Tori Amos fan, she's always the deepest, the greatest, the most talented of all; but Madonna is not bad at all...

[bennieboy3215]

I always will love Tori Amos! This song means so much to me! It helped me alot through out my life! Not to many singers can bring that out in a person! Ask any tori amos fan! Somehow we all live through her words!

[YMIHERE00]

One of my fav's by her, her emotions run through me.

She's Fantastic!.

[a440nick]

ugh weeping.....

[halah89]

this is moving.

[persona19]

This is my favourite song by her.

[000HMYG0D]

"don't make me scratch on your door"

Wow!!Pure poetry. I love you Tori

[april02me]

Angie is an old silver screen actress...not that great as I recall...

[youthinkidont]

who is angie dickinson?

[synkova13]

Lyrics and the music. It's like the stuff of lenard Cohen, poetry to music.

[BoxOfFrogbits]

Isn't this the exact opposite; music to poetry..?

[MegLuvsDM]

This is such a beautiful song. I love Tori!!!!

[TinnyLinda]

flawless!

this is a beeeeauuuuuuuuutiful song!

[DrGroothe]

+hey this was the exact moment i became a tori fan. she left all the other acts in the dust... watching this prestine performance again makes me think it was just meant to be. i went out and bought the album and by the end of Hey Jupiter i was lost with all hands.

[mobbyplay]

fuckin genious. It's a fact!!

[paer83]

Love this song!! One of the best of hers!

[DJOPITZ]

Tori is so amazing

[moozoocho]

what a lovely rendition of this song with live horns and great, clear close ups of Tori in all her splendor and the fabulous faces she makes; so expressive!

[gabeybaby2006]

i love this song shes so pretty

[delanoca]

This songs depresses me but I fucken love it.

[DrGroothe]

not sure I go as far as to say it depresses me but I know exactly what you mean... sometimes it hurts to listen to Tori and that's why she's so great.

[delanoca]

I get really sad when I hear this song. It's about love and the words she uses to describe her emotions are so nice and great. She is just an incredible songwriter. I also get nostalgic/melancholic when I listen to pretty good year and Northern Lad. I love Tori.

[Multiryan1982]

@delanoca I hear ya on that note.....on a lot of her songs too. but I fucken love it too....Northern Lad is real sad too

[sugarspacetiger]

this is definitely one of the very best tori songs

[ChrisLightfingers]

Boys for Pele is one of my favourite albums of all time and this song is one of my fave tracks. Fuck I love this woman!

[rnldtoms]

Tori is amazing. This performance is incredibly moving, it makes me feel so much. BEAUTIFUL!

[onassis73]

ditto!!!

[writer4peace]

Fabulously lovely ... thanx

[elarchipielagofrio]

its so perfect ! i love this song

[carolinemsvetlana]

God, is this song good

makes me cry evertime

[eyemoeba]

agree wholeheartedly with these comments. the track sends shivers down my spine, and the horns evoke memories of my time in south yorkshire. it's a beautiful mixture of sounds and a typically flawless and sexy performance from tozzer.

[whirligiggle]

I love the horn section in this track. Gentle and powerful.

[Jessi1126]

One of my very favorite Tori songs! Beautiful! :)

[vkotis]

Mine too.
