I regard her as one of the great talents of the past 50 years but to me she is sadly under appreciated. A piano prodigy with a voice that is raw and crystal pure and a musical scalpel that opens your heart. Brilliant by every standard.

What is especially interesting in this video: This is Tori at age 28, just before she reached superstardom. But listen to this carefully. Winter is one of her greatest songs, mabye THE greatest. Every nuance is here. Her touch, every roll of the tongue, every click of her lips. It was complete art, right there, and it never changed. Amazing.

Now this, my friends, is real music. Just amazing.

When her first CD "Little Earthquakes" came out I remember feeling really sad because she was obviously enormously talented and that her career would probably not last. I thought that anyone who could pour as much emotion as she does into her music was headed for some kind of melt-down. We have seen it way too many times. I am so thankful I was wrong.

It's actually quite the opposite more often than not. It's the ones that keep their emotions inside that have meltdowns.

Tori Amos is such a beautiful human being.

Just over and above any other musician i have ever heard. I was lucky to see her live in 1996. I remember walking out of the theatre and looking at people crying. The tears ran down my face when she sang this.

This might be the greatest performance I have ever witnessed.

Miss you and thank you Papa for everything you taught me. I am so much my fathers daughter. I am so proud of the man you were and all you gave to so many. This song always brings me to my knees. Thank you Tori for giving me a song that ALWAYS brings my Dad (Papa) near to me again. Hope he finally found peace.

The way she sings live is really awesome

I've loved Tori since I heard her at age 16, and 16 years later she still captivates me. I saw her live in Phoenix, AZ about 16 years ago. She looked like a wild, redheaded mermaid in her bright green dress, and she captivated me. So much feeling in her music and it's so visible when she sings live. I didn't realize the depth of meaning in this song until I watched this video. Makes me cry in sadness, but for beautiful reasons.

It must b e remembered that not all songs or inspiration for them is completely literal, I believe she says this is a song,for my father , and not about my father.So one can not really say , oh that's what her dad said to her or oh that's how she felt about him, most songs are crafted from bits and pieces of feelings maybe some even borrowed from something one heard someone say, in any case there is no real proof in the lyrics that this is a father ,daughter song, just that it is for him, which could mean ,written with him in mind , or just dedicated to him at the moment she sang it at Montrose, though of course we would like to believe it is a personal father ,daughter statement,but as Bob Dylan often said when interviewed about a song said, well you can think what you will about it, but that's not what it means!, but it is what it means to you that is important and gives it it's real appeal! Once you write a song and send it in to the world it is what it means to those hearing it!

I love her music, Its drawn from such a deep place and meaningful place. As a women we seem to have lost that delicate, vulnerable and adventuring hearts voice where we can speak of our pain with such eloquence and meaning. I have yet to find a song written and sung by her that I don't fall into and know it means something inside me, relating to its mood and convay .

Her performances are so conversational. A true genius

5 minutes 47 seconds of pure musical magic. If this doesn't touch your heart and soul then you better check to make sure you're still breathing. A wonderfully bittersweet song, from a magnificent artist. Cheers Tori!

I fell in love with this on its release and it still hits me hard all these years on. I remember Little Earthquakes being released a few months apart from Nevermind by Nirvana. Two different sounding records you would find hard to come by, but my musical tastes of the early 90's embraced both of them and they both spoke to me in different ways. The power of her voice and emotion is something I rarely feel in artists but she gets me every time. As soon as I hear this Im straight back in early 1992. All the hopes, all the dreams, all the possibilities of a life yet to be lived. Thank you Tori.

Discovered her in college in the early 2000s...my love for her work has never ended. She's a goddess.

She is a great musician and beatiful. Just perfect. I love her voice, and her special hair colour

Winter, Siren, Crucify and Cornflake Girl are my favourite songs from her repertory without mentioning she is a wonderful pianist and composer besides a singer. She is one of the most inspiring and complete artists regarding music. It's a shame we cannot see artists like here during these days anymore. At least I've haven't found them.

Very few things choke me up..Jurassic bark ..the view from halfway down and tori Amos legendary voice

Still in love with this song 2019

This is quite possibly the most "perfect" liver performance I've ever seen... What a treat for that audience. Little did they know the brilliance they were witnessing. This song always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for this song, Tori.

This performance, especially this song is nothing but perfection. It does not get any better. It can‘t. Goosebumps every time.

So much heart and emotion put it to her music. Not many song writers like her. She plays with her heart and soul. everything else just follows
