Little Earthquakes RAINN

[FuckYourGodYourLord]

This song reminds me of 10,000 days by Tool.

[davidvollmar]

Thank you, she is beautiful and poignant... Sexy and Angry. LOVE IT!!! 

[ticklebug]

This is by far the best version of Little Earthquakes I've seen her do. She took over my whole body during this song. Nobody has that much power over me as Tori Amos does. She is simply phenomenal, underrated and irreplaceable.

[PayneReceptors]

This live performance version still provides musical inspiration for me, almost a decade later. I would love to see her perform this live one day. <3

[cfrancisco74]

Check out the Charvel EVH art model behind the guitarist! 5:50

[roxmysoxify]

this isnt my type of music, but its an amazing song.

[shwailin]

I fell in love with a woman long ago...I'm hoping we'll reach each other eventually...

[librarianscales]

Tori's songs make me feel brave when other things don't.

[vanessasimon326]

@librarianscales Yes! She grabbed me at 14 and was never the same, And yes your word is true. Brave that is exactly it, her sngs make you feel brave.

[kvinson35]

pure unpretentiuos soul making connections with broken wings all over the world. Would love to see her do Lenard Cohen's....Hallelujah...Amen!

[4thalove1]

i was going through some bad stuff and a friend made me a tape. i never herd of her before but when i herd her voice i felt something i have never. I have always loved her music sence i am so happy that she has found me

[lezfriend]

The RAINN Concert has to rank as one of the all time great live performances. The fact that it represented such a noble, worthy cause made it all that much more monumental. Tori is a brilliant musical artist in every sense of the word.

[AAALEEE444]

She's amazing.

I swear, she has a really strong connexion with something magical, out of this world.

Music is just her language.

[barbj7121]

i coild watch her for hours:) i love her story telling and her gifted piano playing:)

[thewalking]

4:07 = Startingly beautiful face. This performance is stellar.

[daviddean789]

there is something special we see in this entire concert...she was SO on FIRE!

[SugarSpellSugarSpell]

so good

[IndieMom6]

Every battered woman's theme song. She gave me the courage to leave and in a sense gave me back myself again.

[KackeEgal]

Her music makes me think that all I need is music and prana. Unfortunately I get equally emotional and hungry after some time :) If she would just go on tour some more...

[comiskey513]

little earthquakes still continues to be my favorite tori album. i started listening to her when i was in elementary school. i remember we had a day in music class where everyone could bring in their favorite band/cd and we would listen to a song from everyone's pick. between the mariah careys, boyz 2 men, and will smith, i had my tori.

[JanMarie1007]

This is one of my all time favorites by Tori...

[LordRandal1990]

I think I could die 'cause of the great artistic power watching such a performance.... *_*

[Mrsteddyz]

outstanding performance, I love this album for all of us who listened to it when it was still an album.

[ncrestless]

She makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich...for breakfast if you get my meaning.

[byakuugan86]

man no wonder i used to have wet dreams about her when i was 14

[Ferventspirit77]

Tori's peerless ability to reveal the depth of her soul empowers my belief in humanity. Few understand the sheer brilliance of Tori Amos, it's not really about an esoteric style of music, rather, universal human connection.

[plurboy15]

Boys for Pele is her best album by far.

[joshkr]

Lizzy...I'm most partial to Little Earthquakes (her first solo album)...Under The Pink is also excellent, some say she got "soft" after her baby. Not sure about that, so pretty much take your pick :)

[izigrashka]

Mistake! Of course I wanted to give you a plus!

[TearInTheirHands]

@joshkr She didn't get soft. She remains a musical goddess.

[TearInTheirHands]

Only Tori could rock the piano with such passion. Saying that she is the best would be an understatement.

[lizzyvance]

Someone told me to check her out. I have been on youtube doing that. I really like her. What cds of her are the best. Or are all good. If all are good what one schould I start off with?

[sparkpop]

"From The Choirgirl Hotel" album was the one that sucked me in, followed by "Little Earthquakes" (album)

[xtraordinarymachine0]

i like boys for pele the best

[RaspberrySwirl11]

You need to start at the beginning! Follow her the way she intended it. You will grow with her and become inspired as you hear you words and music evolve!!!

[TarAncalyme]

I think those from the 90s are best... later in her career she´s still great but has a bit different style (I personally prefer the former era)... I´d start with the first one - Little Earthquakes and then maybe in the order they were released... it doesn´t matter that much anyway since all of them are just heaven :)

[vins1979]

@lizzyvance 'From the Choirgirl Hotel' is a masterpiece. I also like 'Little Earthquakes' and 'Under the Pink', as well as the very last one 'Abnormally Attracted to Sin'. Mind you: she is a truly live performer, she never sings a song in the same way. Try to check the recorded live sessions, where she really gives her best.

[yellowbirdflying1]

the ONLY song that makes my heart beat so fast and gives me butterflies that I'm unable to breathe. Everytime this comes on, it takes me back to a place I don't want to be... and fixes it. Tori is my superhero.

[voodoo4426]

was at this concert and it was the best one i have ever seen with her

[tifbu]

Goosebumps EVERY time. I love you, Tori.

[zuberiqasim]

one of the most powerful performance i have seen. amazing singer amazing pianist amazing artist. great treat to watch her peroforming.

[DerekBayRoberts1]

I discovered her when i was going through a very bad breakup of a relationship (the only romantic experiance i ever had). She calmed my broken heart.

[immoonligh7]

and then

[SilverLining333]

6:14 - a mark of a true artist, when you can cause your audience to fight back tears... I have fought back tears at several Tori concerts, she's just so powerful and raw

[TryMyMartini]

don't fight it =]

[biznoy2]

She looks so fucking gorgeous here. but that first look at the camera she looked a bit cross-eyed. prolly on purpose

[koolaidnhemlock]

she looked crazy cross eyed several times... when i first saw this, years ago on vhs, i was like wtf, bitch looks nuts.

[xtraordinarymachine0]

that's why we love her!

[cheryllyn65]

omg i am going to see her on the 17th, holy shit.

[Shrubbs]

Her voice sends chills down my spine

[kemplerbrave]

I saw Tori in concert in New Jersey the night The Brentwood Butcher "OJ" was on the run with Al Cowlings after not turning his murdering ass in to the police. She was great by the way. That of course was in 1994.

[Whatif666]

it's just so hart to hit those high notes at the ending of the song. I just love her voice and she's just amazing.

[leftynk]

this is a very minimal concert, just the way id like to see her.

[AJMWriter]

My introduction to Tori was on the Pianos tour when she toured with Ben Folds (also my intro to him--amazing concert). Sadly this was not played (I would have been floored--this song is a religious experience of the highest order!), but the stripped down Tori with just her and the keys was breathtaking, and an incredible introduction to one helluva goddess of an artist.

[Brandynoel16]

anyone else think she's a much prettier version of natasia on americas next top model?

[Shrubbs]

They do looks similar

[wasdcontrols]

I'm not being rude, and please someone answer this question, but what exactly is she saying?

[KylaJaneen]

I had the same problem... lol. I looked up the lyrics. Google is your friend.... :) The song is way lovely though. Regardless if you can't understand what she is saying. :)

[neverforeverkate]

I always thought this was one of the easier songs to understand.

[aidakeyes]

yea that the thing with her

and plus sometimes even when u have the lyrics they dont really make sense

what i do is enjoy the sounds, the piano ,the rhythm and the feel of the music and her voice

[Nemergussis]

best tori album

[koolaidnhemlock]

i had a really bad night, and boy did i need this. thanks, a million, T.

[PsiChoCybia]

the lady is a prophet!

[JerusalemHolyLand]

Beautiful song!!

[TaylorRama]

7:11 Alanis is watching

[2ears2feet]

Are you sure it's her?!

[cranberryboi]

No... it definately isnt. But wouldnt that be cool? :)

[Clapppers1616]

I love this song, Tori Amos is amazing!

[penischocolate13]

I <3 this song

[Ellivee21]

magical <3

[speccyride]

love u tori, got me thru hard times xxxxxxxxxxxx

[CelticRaE19]

earthquakes seem to follow me everywhere. i was born in 1989 big year for earthquakes. toris cd came not to long afterwards. on my 19birthday we had significant earthquake in my town. this song holds a special place in my heart

[BoysForPele1989]

HAHA...you are the one who commented on my comment for satisfaction by bjork and pj, right? I was born in 1989 too.

Anyway, great performance here.

Tori is a goddess of many dimensions.

[Nemergussis]

that't the best tori's album.

so intense and atmospheric.

[sckmyballsofsteel]

me=big army type dude 6 foot three two hundred sixty Lbs and i kick ass... i love this song. these little earthquakes. here we go again.

[darcey55]

You rule!

[abigaildestroys]

YEAH, SERIOUSLY!

[sinkvenice]

My best friend died last week and Tori got her through so many terrible times in her short life. This song is particularly poignant to her and we watched her together performing this live with baited breath. We both loved her and I hope Tori realises just how important she is to some people. My best friend will be listening to this wherever she is now, i'm sure.

[ENeithneYA]

I'm sure she does :)

[evildavey1]

I'm 34 and this album was so much a part of my life that I, for the first time in years, wanted to hear this song during the dissolve of my "marriage" of my partner and I after 3 1/2 years. It's a bad thing, but so necessary.  Next song up:10,000 Maniacs "jezebel" if I can find it.

[ENeithneYA]

Definately one of the best Tori videos on youtube!

There are no words to describe the beauty and voice of this woman.Just incredible.

[bennieboy3215]

At first when I heard Tori Amos I hated her! could not stand how she yelled! My first boyfriend listened to her always! It took me breaking up with him, My own Date Rape! and my own Drug adduction to understand how beautiful she is! Everytime I see her in person singing I sit there and Cry! Shes SAVED me many time! Her music has made me into a fine man! and helped me become who i am.

[PinkWerewolf1]

Shes a lifesaver and for that im forever thankful

[LamaMama23]

I think this is one of my favorite videos on youtube. She's Tori and I don't think there are words to describe her

[havoctrend]

Captivating from every aspect....... she grasps ones mind with ease.

[Lenupet]

5:58

[Brandynoel16]

lmao.

that most definately made my day.

this is my favorite song, but that moment seriously just makes me laugh

[lycoctonum]

No other female singer/songwriter can even compare to Tori, she's definitely the 'Queen Bee'.

[pilotwithnoplace]

@lycoctonum hell, yeah!!

[thanosls1]

@lycoctonum well... Tori is great but there are quite a few rocking vocalists/songwriters such as AMY LEE from Evanescence

[lycoctonum]

@maelstromscup

I like a lot of Kate Bush's music. :) Check out Vienna Teng if you haven't - she has a lot of good stuff out!

[werafonas]

@lycoctonum Sorry, but Kate Bush is bettter. My opinion.

[vennootje]

@werafonas So? Others prefer Barry Manilow. Then again, there are those who prefer Motorhead. What's your point?

[werafonas]

@vennootje It's my opinion. That is the point. Also both have amazing songs/albums.

[TarAncalyme]

@werafonas I think what vennootje meant is that it doesn´t make much sense coming to somebody´s video only to say you find sb else better... I mean, it´s obvious there are people who prefer other music over tori. but they don´t all come here to say that. similarly, we (as in tori fans) don´t go all over youtube saying we prefer tori to other artists. because there is no point in doing that, even if it is our opinion :)

[jimbeauxtexas]

...or just plain DAMN!

[000HMYG0D]

Incredibly dark and powerful.

"dame vida...dame dolor"

[IgniteInspiration]

so much better than with those straight fringed hair! go Tori!

[tenderbloodrose]

She's fucking goregous.

[havoctrend]

I'd like her sweat lol

[argenmisto]

Just beautiful ^w^

[BoyintheMachine]

one of my favorite tori songs ever.

[liquiddymonds]

*we danced in graveyards

with vampires till dawn

we laughed in the faces of kings

never afraid to burn*

Love that part;)

[liquiddymonds]

oh good god me too. i like the version she does of it on the Little Earthquakes vhs (90s) She will always be my fav. My 2 top favs r Golddust and Hotel. But on the Little Earthquakes album, "Tear in your Hand" was my fav song.

[Dominicano1197]

Repentance, you're a worthless cunt who is probably an ugly guy dressed up as an ugly girl. Tori is successful and amazing, you're not. Just deal with it and die.

[SpazzyLiriana]

I really like the song but I prefer the recorded version.(I know it sounds shallow) I think that Tori is a bit odd live. And she grows a bit more neurotic every year. Still awesome, though.

[liquiddymonds]

her "oddness" as u call it is what i have always found attractive about her.

[SpazzyLiriana]

I love oddness! It;s just I listen to the CD constantly (it's an ongoing habit)and she always sort of improvises live so I can't keep up with her live while I'm singing. Thinking about making vids for some of her songs that aren't on here. Honestly! They don't have some of the best!!!!!!

[cadmiumblue]

That stupid girl crying in the video continues to annoy me. What the hell was she crying about? Stupid pampered suburban teenage brat.

[Dakoda25]

I didn't see any girls crying in the video. Where is she? And at any rate, she can't be any more foolish looking than the girl in the audience who was caught blubbering during Sanjaya's performance on American Idol.

[bumbeez]

6:15

[havoctrend]

A very amazing woman.

Such passion and talent and intellectual as well as very beautiful....... I never tire of her.

Take care each and all.

[buddhaplex]

At the end of the day, the music is about Tori getting to express herself, and deal with HER demons. She makes money for it, and people who like it buy it. End of story. She's not here to counsel or comfort. She's here to make money to afford to hang out and write more music. Sorry guys, but that's the music biz. The rest of this argument is because some folks don't want to admit that marketing is the practice of creating emotional attachment to products for consumers.

[toal8]

makes you cry. so full of power.

[myoctoberrust]

goddamn this argument is still going on?

[NYCConsigliere]

One of the best musical artistes of this generation who has had success despite not selling out or losing her soul. This woman is not just a phenomenal but also a soulful talent who uses her voice for the betterment of hiumanity. God bless you Tori....

[FujinZero]

Wow, breathtaking as always!

[myownme777]

Is there another as sensuous? Thanks for posting this. And thanks for the creation of such a gifted talent.

[ravenmickey2007]

I LOVE Tori Amos! She is such a unique talent.

[comatoselucy]

So much arguing.  Grow up.

ANYWAY,

I love this song. Tori looks gorgeous. I would give anything to have been able to go to the RAINN concert...

[debbie7171]

wow - every time i watch this it blows me away - there is so much life in one song...its amazing...

[zehredness]

She looks exceptionally beautiful in this show.

[petalchrome]

What a beautiful performance... thanks for posting this concert! Truly genuine emotion.

[cadmiumblue]

I love those little nose ringed gothesque ones who are all teary eyed...*laughs* I am sure their pain consists mainly of mommy and daddy didnt let me use the car wahhh

[tenderbloodrose]

ahahahah

[navarre96]

It changed my world, and helped me when i needed it

[doreesky]

Sweet!...Little Earthquakes is my fav CD as well..thanks

[tenderbloodrose]

The audience..looks...odd.

[cadmiumblue]

looks like a bunch of teenage poseurs.

[petalchrome]

I'm sorry, but for someone so quick to judge people you don't even know, please use the proper grammar and spelling ("posers"). I may no longer be a teen (I'm not sure how old you are), but teenage years are very rough, no matter what crowd you hang in... don't be so quick to make fun of people when you don't know everything that goes on in their house, or head.

[cadmiumblue]

Look, ya piece of crap...I had a very rough adolescence. So just shut your piehole please. These people in the audience are very annoying to me, and I'm sure, many others. I am allowed to call them out for what they are...posers. People who pretend to be this or that because it makes them feel special, or not so alone. These idiots are not worthy of Tori. So please go eff yourself.

[petalchrome]

Well I am sorry you had a very rough adolescence... it does not make you all-knowing in what goes on in the minds' of other people. Everyone has different ways of expressing themselves, and hate to break it to you, everyone is a "poser" of some sort. We all fall into stereotypes. Besides, if someone wants to feel special, or not so alone, what's wrong with that?

[petalchrome]

Also, if you haven't noticed, I'm not attacking you, I'm just defending those you're attacking. I'm sorry if you're bitter, but that's no reason to name-call or insult. Oh well... hope things are going better for you now, if not, hope they do soon.

[cadmiumblue]

Well aren't you just an effing saint.

Go play in shark-infested waters.

[petalchrome]

Actually, I'm a total bitch, I just don't have any reason to be nasty to you. Oh well.

[PreciousEarthquakes]

I agree with you. And it is funny this person is complaining about a rough life when all the people he/she is attacking probably had a rough life too. Thanks for sticking up for them/us. :)

[cadmiumblue]

No, I think a number of them are spoilt adolescent posers who begged mummy and daddy for the tickets to see TORI. And many of them wouldn't give me the time of day because they think me a complete loser when in fact I relate to Tori Amos more than a bunch of her fans who just worship her for whatever reason. But I can actually relate to the things she says and her thought process.

Anyway, it's obvious you're a bitch.

[PreciousEarthquakes]

I relate to her on every level as well. But if you feel that way about them...then you should just not care. They aren't worth being angry at. It is better just to focus on what you personally feel and know instead of wasting time thinking about them. I don't mean that in a mean way. I wouldn't waste my time even thinking about it. It makes me feel better not stressing about it. And "I believe that I'm the Devil Bitch" hee hee ;)

[PreciousEarthquakes]

And the bright side is...she makes money off of them. So in the end, they are screwed. haha.

[velveteenweb]

I am kind of confused about this argument... I know a lot of "popular," or "trendy" girls who are privately suffering. And I know some girls who seem to not care about some people (like, maybe you?), but it is just because they are going through a lot and are wrapped up in their own heads. Those girls don't even care that much about themselves, so they aren't outgoing/friendly and are seen as bitchy sometimes because of that.

[Dominicano1197]

cad, you're a pathetic twat who epitomizes the very thing you attack, so YOU go jump in shark-infested waters you obsessive loser. You're one of those "sociopaths" Tori was talking about.

[cadmiumblue]

I am not sociopath. You, however are stupid. Please go play on a busy freeway.

[velveteenweb]

How do you know that they are pretending?

Tori is just a person... She puts her music out there for people to appreciate in whatever way they can. Everyone is worthy of her music; every person is worthy of appreciating art. Plus, it is better for "bitchy" people to listen to meaningful music. It could emotionally affect them enough to change them in a positive direction. :D

[porterhouse1974]

My fav from her

[myoctoberrust]

Its so dark in a beautiful way!

[idalilja]

LOVE this song!<3

[MuseOfSin]

What an Uh-maZING performance of LE !! ^^

[dagoberto40]

Little earthquakes rocks my world.

[xgirlfiendx]

The album is awesome. Beyond awesome.
