Tori Amos - Winter (From "Live At Montreux 91/92")

For more info -
http://www.eagle-rock.com/artist/8C38...

These two concerts from Montreux in 1991 and 1992 catch Tori Amos right at the start of her solo career. The first from July 1991 was filmed a few months before the release of her "Little Earthquakes" album and the second from July 1992 followed a few months after. There is a fascinating progression from one year to the next as she grows in confidence and skill as a live performer, buoyed by the critical and commercial success of the album. Naturally most of the songs are taken from "Little Earthquakes" but there are also rare songs from her various EPs released across the two years which didn't make it onto the album including her distinctive takes on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and "Thank You" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
But I only can see the myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself

He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change
My dear

My dad died when I was 17. Sometimes I feel so lost on the way, so utterly alone and without guidance, a child in the confusing maelstrom of being an adult. Yes, I so wish you could be proud of me and here I am, feeling like a bone failure at 25 already. Seeing Tori on the edge of tears there... I feel so deeply connected to this song.

I am a Metalhead and I keep coming back to this in my darkest moments. So cathartic.

Man, that's deep.

[Артем Ермолаев]

Лет 10 назад подруга познакомила с ее творчеством. С тех пор влюблен в этот завораживающий голос )

I guess it's a guy thing, all I thought was that I'd like to fuck her.

Hello, I am Marissa an independent artist. I have all original material and only one cover piece.I try to put out quality music. This is why I have a following. People take free music and artists for granted, don't donate to them, and expect that they work full time to put out free music for an ungrateful public. It took 80 thousand US dollars to invest in everything that I do and my musical education. I am not rich. I took loans. Please try to be more kind and gentle on all artists.

I cry EVERY time I listen to this. Hands down the most beautiful, heartfelt song in the last 20 plus years....
