Y Kant Tori Read - Floating City (by Devendra)

Here's my music video interpretation of my favorite song of all time.

Tori is much more than just a woman behind a piano. This video is a fine example of that. I hope you all like it.

LYRICS:

You Went Away
Why Did You Leave Me
You Know I Believed You
Nothing Explained
Where Are The Answers
I Know I Need You

Tell Me
Is Your City Paved With Gold
Is There Hunger
Do Your People Grow Old
Do Your Governments Have Secrets
That They've Sold

CHORUS:

Every Night I Wait
Take Me Away
To Your Floating City
By My Window At Night
I See The Lights
To Your Floating City
Come And Take Me Away
I Want To Play
In Your Floating City
Yeah
Floating City
Yeah

T.V. Turns Off
Any Of Us That
Say That We've Seen You
Tell Me
Are We The Only Planet
That Can't Conceive You

Will We Be Like Atlantis Long Ago
So Assured That We're Advanced
With What We Know
That Our Spirit Never
Had Time To Grow

REPEAT CHORUS

Is It Weak
To Look For Saviors
Out In Space
Little Earth
She Tries So Hard
To Change Our Ways
Sometimes She Must Get
Sick Of This Place

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh, Come Back
Oh, Come Back
Floating City

where did you find all of this video of her to put together?

[Patriciameadows]

@jjpme92un Most of the footage came from her DVD music video collection "Fade To Red".

[jjpme92un]

anyone know what this is aboot? the song I mean

[Patriciameadows]

If you ever find out from a reliable source, let me know. I have wondered a long time what inspired Tori.

[LeeLoomaR]

wow it's really perfectly done!! I loved it! :))

I would like to ask you something:P is this a vido clip in 4:02 that she is like a spiderwoman ?? From what song exactly?? thank youuu:)

[Patriciameadows]

Those clips are from her music video, "Glory Of The 80's".

[goocek1]

Wow! Very good song!

[ballrigors1]

don't know why Tori plays down the Y Kant Tori Read period. This song is great.

[AlternativeRiot]

WONDERFUL VIDEO, you have patience and you're talented

[jjpme92un]

@laserspewpewpew I always thought she was atheist or something like that... or a witch ;-)

[TheELEAZAR1111]

@Ganonfanon Finally, someone with enough common sense. If anything this was her most direct era, where she was still 'trying to fit a circle into a square' as was put i believe in the WTSF interviews. She became more abstract and conceptual in her approach later in her career and it's fit in quite beautifully with her unique song structures. The beautiful thing is even though this recording is one of her earliest, you can still feel her energy seeping through.....And yes, duh..'aliens'... ;)

I think this song is about Tori's relationship with God.

@jjpme92un I think this song is about Tori's relationship with God.

This song makes me thing of Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky"
