Stunning. Absolutely stunning. I love how you honored beauty queen and played it in perfect dynamics even though for some it would be considered "just one note" ~ I love this video so much...

[@LOLmusics]

Simply the best cover on KZbin . Nothing else comes close. This is exactly like the cd!!!

[@davidmichaelconner8054]

Oh my God...of all the things I wish I were able to do in life...this tops the list. Incredible work. I hope you're appropriately proud of your talent!

[@YANTA]

Thanks, David Michael Conner! Do you play the piano?

[@glynfrans]

This is absolutely gorgeous! I have listened to Boys For Pele so many times I can practically sing it from start to finish by heart, and Horses has always been my favorite track. I find it truly remarkable how you've managed to play it exactly like Tori does, and I don't mean all the notes, I mean the very feelings and emotions she puts into her music. The dynamics of this is beautiful! Thank you so much for playing this for us =)

[@YANTA]

Thank you so much, that's so kind!

[@tammyrowe7097]

Tori is my Goddess, my inspiration and most amazingly talented woman. She speaks to my soul. Thank you Tori for being you.

[@jasminenijjar3772]

Hah... hah... ha-ha. She's a Beauty Queen. Ha... in my sweet bean bag in the street, Take it down out to the laundry scene... Don't know why she's in my hand. Can't figure what it is, but... I lie, lie, lie again. I go me some horses to ride on, to ride on. They say that your demons can't go there. So I got me some horses to ride on, to ride on, As long as your army keeps perfectly still. And maybe I'll find me a sailor, a tailor. And maybe together we'll make mother well. So I got me some horses to ride on, to ride on, As long as your army keeps perfectly still. An you showed me the meadow, and milkwood, and silkwood. And you would if I would, but you never would. So I chased down your posies, your pansies in my hosies, Then opened my hands and they were empty then. Off with Superfly sniffing a Sharpie pen, honey it's Bill and Ben. Off with Superfly counting your Bees, oh me, honey like one, two, three. The camera is rolling, it's easy like one, two, three. And if there is a way to find you I will find you. But will you find me if Neil makes me a tree. An afro, a Pharaoh, I can't go you said so. And but threads that are golden don't break easily. So I got me some horses to ride on, to ride on. They say that your demons can't go there. So I got me some horses to ride on, to ride on. As long as your army keeps perfectly still, Keeps perfectly still, keeps perfectly still.

[@JulioCastilloAnselmi]

I specially love the part that starts at 2:52. Brilliant.

[@mouthmantra]

*___* My entire day/night has been made; when the Leslie Cabinet sound/edit came in, I just had the most stupidly ridiculous smile. Also, It never occurred to me before actually how uncomfortably long the Beauty Queen prelude is sans vocals.. . But aside from that, your playing is pristine and on-point. It's just a treat and a half to listen to these compositions standalone. Super excited to see which song calls to ye nimble fingers next.

[@YANTA]

Jared Justice Thanks! I didn't feel like making a separate video for Beauty Queen, but I agree, it's very long without vocals! I uploaded Twinkle this morning and next up is a little To Venus and Back surprise!

[@mouthmantra]

; ' 0 I hope you don't mind, but I shared this over on the BFP subforum at Unforumzed. Some other people were as equally impressed as meself. Twinkle! As far as it goes, I think it is completely appropriate and round about to end the album with, but I've never been in love with it. However, *some* of her live versions (like the 2013 Caprices Festival) are quite touching. = 0 ..Aaaand I'm going to guess either Concertina, Lust, or Josephine. Anything else on that album might be overly challenging to transcribe x )

[@YANTA]

Jared Justice Awesome! That explains the amount of views! (It's Dātura, by the way.)

[@tubaaltunbilek1396]

Perfect perfect perfect! I want to be like you, damn.

[@YANTA]

Thank you, tuba altunbilek! Practice, practice, practice! ;)

[@southernbelladonna78]

Anybody know when you start singing the first song? Whereabouts?

[@brettrheihardt4763]

I don’t know how you did this, but my god, thank you. When I was a little boy the piano and harpsichord on boys for pele was my salvation, my obsession. It would take me a million miles away from my dull repressed little indiana town, and you have figured it out. I would do anything for your sheet music. Is there anyway I could get it?

[@CisumyxoR]

Wow, amazing! I've played this song too, but unfortunately I only found some simplified sheets and it doesn't sound that cool.. So may I ask you where you got those sheets from? I'd be very grateful for a hint :-)

[@YANTA]

Hi Nathalie Aeschlimann! All the songs I play here I've transcribed myself. I lost the file for Horses, but still have my printed version, so I just need to insert it into the software again when I have the time. Send me your email-address so I can send it to you in time!

[@heatherdavenport4146]

I've grown up listening to this song, so happy to see someone do it justice. Sounds so true to the original! I was wondering if you have your transcribed sheets available to purchase/download somewhere, I've never been able to find good sheets for this song :) Keep up the good work

[@Gezka]

OMG you are amazing! I've always wanted to hear just her piano! You do her so much justice. 😍 Do you take requests? There are sooo many but I'd love to hear you do Bells for Her, Mother, Lady in Blue, Marianne & Mary Jane!!! Thank you soooo much!

[@Overton_Windows]

I bought this album in my teens, I've seen her live 4 times, but at 34 I've yet to see each note being hit like this; Thank you :)

[@YANTA]

+Ryan Ranger Thank you so much! :)

[@RaspberrySwirl1982]

Thank you so much for creating this channel. I have been looking for something like this forever, and your playing is wonderful. I'll be keeping an eye open formed videos!

[@YANTA]

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@halflowers5498]

Could you do a video giving some transcription pointers? It's a skill I'd love to learn, and you seem to have mastered it.

[@joosteke]

Wow.. Just.. wow! Loving this! You are incredible. Thank you for this and keep it up! Love from Belgium ~

[@YANTA]

joosteke Thank you! :)

[@denicci]

Where do you find all of these tori amos piano songs? You play amazing. Omg.

[@violet4374]

You take WAY too long for Beauty Queen! It's much faster than that.

[@juliehaven]

You are amazing! Are you reading the music to all these songs or learning by ear? They sound identical! I have yearned to play piano like Tori, but I don't read music very well and just don't know how to play that skillfully. I wish I could take lessons from you.

[@YANTA]

+juliehavenmusic I make my own sheet music (by ear of course) and learn them that way.

[@MeldarionFashion]

Hi ! just listened to all of your youtube videos they are OUTSTANDINGLY gorgeous ! and I was wondering.. could you by any chance do a piano cover of ' Precious Things' ? really hope you can.. because it's such a beautiful song and I think it'd be perfect for you to play on piano ! thanks in advance, kindest regards, D.

[@YANTA]

Hi David De Broe! Thank you! I definitely will play Precious Things one day, but I don't think my arms can handle that one right now. I don't want to get hurt! ;)

[@datura1983]

YANTA haha yeah that jumping technique is bloody painful on the arm muscles. i decided to do a medley one day with nothing but that technique and my arms were so damn sore i couldnt get used to it.

[@madameammann5618]

very nice! Thank you for your beautiful piano cover!!

[@LOLmusics]

Yanta how long did it take you to learn this??!?

[@kristinehoschler1604]

Can we buy your CD with the entire collection of your songs?

[@YANTA]

Kristine Hoschler Not of the covers I'm afraid, but I'm working on my own stuff, should you be interested!

[@mrPillow91]

This is amazing. Are you playing from the official sheet? Would you know if it's still available for sale anywhere? Thank you so much. Great emotional performance.

[@YANTA]

Hi mrPillow91! Thank you! I'm playing my own transcription. I don't own the official sheet music for Boys for Pele, so I don't know how accurate that is. I was very disappointed with the official sheet music for Little Earthquakes and Under the Pink though.

[@conchitapelayomusica]

MARAVILLOSO!!! Todas las partes son increíbles y perfectas ♥️

[@CarlosCruz-tu6ho]

Wow!, it sounds AMAZING!...do you have a copy of the sheet music?

[@YANTA]

+Carlos A Cruz Thanks! I do!

[@Poison802]

wow i am speechless !!!

[@briananissen6365]

I am so thankful to have found you, your incredible talent, and absolutely perfect renditions of Tori’s work. Tori has and always be my favorite, and your instrumentals bring to light another version so as to truly appreciate her compositions. I can’t thank you enough for your dedication to bringing her works closer and dearer to my heart more than ever. THANK YOU!

[@jaiguru8487]

Isnt it great to be able to play something that such Genius as Tori The One And Only Amos created...praise the lord for her incredible mind then and now...✌Peace and Love

[@empathcaroline2586]

Omg! You rock!.. Tori's music has made me want to start playing again.. now listening to you, I really want to!

[@iva8194]

It's an absolute perfection! I wish I could play likewise...

[@wonderlasting]

Oh my goodness. May I have the sheets for this, please?

[@hellojeaniejeanie]

Love your channel. Please do Not the Red Baron.

[@YANTA]

Thank you! It's on the to-do list!

[@rossellavacchelli]

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!

[@VandalThoughts]

you are not tori, but sound damn close it her playing

[@YANTA]

Thanks, S Vananzo! I tried my best.

[@NamidaDreams]

This is amazing. Thank you, really! I'd love something like Sugar or Here. In My Head... Could you cover that?

[@YANTA]

Thanks, NamidaDreams! I could. ;) I'll put them on the request list!

[@heathervandegejuchte9699]

This is outstanding........

[@YANTA]

Hi Heather Vandegejuchte! Thank you!

[@fempie]

[@YANTA]

Thank you, fempie!

[@capacioust]

[@YANTA]

capacioust I'll put it on the list!

[@propertyofranger]

You Are Not Tori Amos Oh, please do! I would love to hear it :D

[@kobipbip1448]

a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@YANTA]

Thank you, kobipbip!

[@900miniatureponies]

SWOON!!! This is just perfect!

[@yessaid]

Please please do the entire song if you ever have time. It's so gorgeous. Lovely job.

[@YANTA]

yessaid I'm not sure I understand. This is the entire song. :) Maybe the video doesn't load correctly for you?

[@datura1983]

hi, i can play a portion of this, but i can't read music that well. would you possibly make a visual tutorial??? i desperately want to finish it. ive had to cover it by ear and that's hard because it's all arpeggios. :( camera above the hands would be perfect. thanks.

[@YANTA]

datura1983 Hey! It will take some (or a lot of) time, but I'm working on tutorials. :)

[@datura1983]

i see. honestly, you don't even have to "tutorial" this one (ie explain it) just the camera above your hands would be enough.

[@NicholasAldenMusic]

i second the request for a camera above the hands! this is my absolute favorite :)

[@LOLmusics]

Just like the CD!!!
