this song was performed at my wife's funeral earlier this year.i lost her at the age of 29. she died with my baby sister in a plane crash. tori's music was a bond she and i shared. we traveled thousands of combined miles to see her in concert. standing in that church holding my two sons, as my oldest sister flawlessly sang, " is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?" well that is a moment in time i will never forget. thank you tori for writing such a powerful song......

I’m so sorry to hear that! Tori’s song Carry and her cover of Over the Rainbow I picked for my grandmother’s funeral. Tori’s music says it all sometimes while still having more to say when you have experienced more life first. 💜🌙🪐🌈

Still saving my life, decades later. Love you, Tori

There is no artist like her period. even the few they try to throw in a similar style dont even hold a candle. The tone, passion, piano, feeling, emotion will never be replicated. Heck even the facial looks and movements are enrapturing. Simply a Goddess at this style of music. Will never be touched. I am in awe

"is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?" the most beautiful lyrics ever written.

Twenty plus years of listening to Tori and I still love how this song makes me feel like I am hearing it for the first time. Tough guys can love Tori's music too. But this is also one of my favorite songs ever, not just by Tori. Who hasn't wondered if their lover thinks that there is some other heaven (little "h") somewhere that is worth giving up these kisses?

I think this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my entire life.

Oh god. She is a fucking, fucking phenomenal energy. I feel so deeply with this majestic art

If you haven't seen her live, you have to, and get as close to her as possible. Some bands/artists it doesn't matter, but it does with her, especially when she looks at you when she's singing.

this performance is just breath-taking. I may already be a little emotional at the moment, but still, at the 3:55 mark this brought be to tears.

That part always brings me to tears. I've been listening to Tori for 17 years now and she's still my absolute favorite artist. No one else has come near her brilliance to me.

Her talent devastates me. In a good way.

I think that's what makes it even more special. I always will love her B-sides esp. "Cooling"

This is my favorite Tori song- I know she only plays it live which makes it even more special to me. Tori is a goddess!!

i love how she play the part thats like "so then love walked up to like."

this is one of many of her songs that brings tears...it is so ethereally beautiful

It definitely doesn't seem like it's been that long but I was in the 10th grade when I discovered her and that WAS a long time ago. lol I'm 32 now. I just remember how excited I was to find her and how addicted I was to her right from the start. I wish I could still discover other artists like that now but sadly nothing comes close.

When I was 10, I fell in love with Kate bush is music, and then came tori. Still my favourite two.

Just like right this minute, now and for decades, so many loves that have been cooling faster than I can.....

"this ocean is wrapped around, that Pineapple tree" to me is the most deep and beautiful lyric EVER wrote.

this is most likely my favorite tori amos B-side of all time.

i've been listening to this version for the last ten years and just found this video - amazing!!! thank you!

"This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree" has got to be the most beautiful and soul wrenching line that Tori has ever wrote in my opinion. Absolute genius with the use of metaphor is she.

What do you take this to mean?

My favorite line "And is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses"! I love that line!

This song makes me cry... Tori is... Just Tori, I love her. I never gonna see her, 'cause I live in Argentina but, I'm still loving Tori.

Tori, your songs are pieces of art. Remind me of those golden chocolat boxs: You eat one and think that no one candy can't be more delicious than that... until you start to eat the next one!

The first time I heard her, I was shocked. She has such a beautiful voice. A friend bought me her book. It was great. I love Tori. It's a shame she never comes down here to Mexico, on tour. =)

this show is amazing... cooling is one of her greatest pieces...

this song is a real band-aid. Don't know what i would do without it.. boy has it helped me cool...

someone played this at a benefit event for a friend of mine who had died that summer...brought tears to my eyes r.i.p. nick gretina

A visceral song, the repetition of that piano theme carries it well. Solid, beautiful.

this is awesome, thanks for posting

Thank goodness for Tori fiends who are generous enough to put up luscious music

thak you so much for sharing, i could listen this song for hours and hours and always feel as moved as if it was the first time

this is so beautiful, both lyrics and music, I can't get it out of my head since I heard it. Amazing..

Agreed. I love "these kisses" the first time I heard the third time she sings it, I thought she was singing "Viennese kisses" and somehow it seemed to fit the song.

one of my favorite performances.

¡Thank you for sharing this! I'm spanish and here, in Spain, We are not lucky having such spectacular show of Tori. Very good music, piano and voice. All the songs of Tori are beautiful, but I dare to say THIS SONG is the most "hermosa". Tori, sigue así, no cambies nunca.

thanks for sharing cooling is just the best!

Absolutely beautiful.

lovely. Thanks for sharing!

I love Tori and this song wasn't in my top five. Not until now that is... thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I simply am calmed by her and her incredible electric talent. Luv Luv

I was at this show. Tori from 10 feet away!

Always with tears in my eyes listening to this song....She is amazing, beautiful, riveting.

thank you so much.

Every once in a while this shallow world surprises us with depth...Thankyou tori, so many of us are sincerely touched by such wonderful lyrics and your angelic voice....love you

Tori Amos and the Bösendorfer piano = the most beautiful relationship ever.

One of my fave live Tori tracks.... this is so beautiful.

this is my absolute fave Tori aong in the world!! she is just amazing, i can;t even take it!!

Definitely one of her more powerful songs. It resonates....

Utterly amazing. This is cooling, faster than I can

i love this song, simply love it every time i listen to it i've got goosebumps

I love this song one of my all time favourites

Oh my gosh! I remember waiting and waiting for this to come on PBS... and I kept thinking that I missed it! And I was just about to go to bed, but I checked for it ONE MORE TIME, and there it was. I don't know what happened, maybe I got the time wrong... but I'm so glad I caught this performance! She is just beautiful!

this one breaks my heart....i love it!

The Woman Is A Fairy... Always Be Blessed In Every Way Tori... xxx

przepiekna piosenka i cudne wykonanie. Tori czaruje..

A truly beautiful song, performed by the best and most beautiful singer!! Never felt so many goosebumps! My fave song of hers besides "Snow Cherries from France"

Another of my absolute fave Tori songs. Vakkert!

Amazing!!! Maybe her best performance of Cooling.

I think a lot of kids were conceived to Tori's music. :D

one of her best songs.

Amazing....

one of the best songs of tori

so much emotions

this is cooling..love you Tori!

I love all of Tori's songs, but this is one of my absolute favorites!

thank you tori

Enchanting. 🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪 ❤️

Yeah, i think maybe this is the best tori´s song. love it

masterpiece

I love, love, love this song.

speechless right now

your amazing TA AH

The piano is beautiful.

You can find that song on the album "to venus and back". It's a live version as well.

This song is so beautiful. I wish I could like it 100 times.

This is still one of my all-time favorite Tori songs... It's such a perfect, beautiful piece. My favorite lyric is this: So then Love walked up to Like; said "I know that you don't like me much, but let's go for a ride".

At the end of the songs... so emotional!!!

heartbreakingly beautiful... it's so easy

This is so much better live than on album.. The live performance is so very amazing.

If we could only have more song writers and or prodigys from "three years old" maybe the music today would have the substance to last at least the next decade. Can you imagine a generation or centuries? think about it.

Tori forever...

Great! :D I think the best performance is the one from the Live CD2 on the "To Venus And Back"-album though. But I still got chills from this one :)

You may have heard this already, but the original studio version is on the Spark single with Do It Again. You can probably find it on Amazon, or maybe in the store....

She is a goddess that walks amongst us mortals. She should be worshipped.

LOVE this song -- I can't imagine it ever being recorded in studio; Tori made the right choice in respecting "Cooling's" wishes (Those who've listened to "Live, Still Orbiting" know what I'm talking about ;) )

this song is heart breaking

11 people's places in heaven aren't worth giving up these kisses.

@NoOneJustMe05 it is if you don't split it in half, and if you spell it "underrated" ;p but yes, she truly is.

Jesus christ this is fu8king incredible. Simply devastating.

yesss you said it she's pretty deep

this is what she used for to venus and back. absolutely magical.

@0430daniel1976 i appreciate your kind words. a song as profound as this may well mean as much to you as it does to me. i love the ambiguity of her lyrics. the way a song of hers can mean many things to many people. jacky (wife) and i spent countless hours discussing the implications of her lyrics. some of the deepest conversations we ever had, were sparked by tori's music. my youngest child was conceived to scarlett's walk, pretty sure "crazy" did the trick. lotta love made to her music.......

i feel sad, listen this song. every fuckin times. but i love it!!! feel it....

tori, that song makes me cry

@CCarmen Same here! No one else can touch me the way she does.

so beautiful and subtle. she truly is one in a million billion trillion zillion gazillion

this is my most beautiful tori......

@CCarmen It's unfortunate, really. There will never be musical brilliance like hers from anyone else. When she goes, it, too, will go, and we'll be at such a loss.

This is a great performance. The best really has to be the one from Welcome To Sunny Florida though.

there's no other like her
