Unbelievable that there have only been 1000 likes. This is a spiritual masterpiece.

[@icnocuicatl]

Scarlet’s Walk is my favorite album, has been for 20 years, but for some reason this song has recently taken a hold of me. I’m bewitched by it. I love it so much

It is a truly great album followed closely by the next album The Beekeeper

[@halfstep44]

That's what makes it great art, you experience it differently each time

nov 2002 in NYC. she opened with this song, an extended long 2-minute chord progression, ephemeral, beautiful, haunting. almost everyone had tears in their eyes. i'll never forget

[@refundrick]

Whenever I find a Tori Amos song that I haven't heard before I always have to think twice before hitting play because she just rips me up every time.

[@JulietteZephyr]

Same...

[@kyeishahodge3125]

And this is about 9/11 so it hits harder.

[@outofnowherefromtheretoher2651]

@@kyeishahodge3125 every time I listen to this masterpiece I'm taken back to my first time visiting NYC in September 2000. When I did a little online search about the meaning of 'ICSNY', I was shocked to read that the song was first penned by Tori in 2000 and early 2001! Many months before 911.

[@benfoxworth9826]

Never in my life have I dashed into being ripped up with such passion and determination. For no other artist in the world. Only for Tori.

[@davidwatkins4276]

Tori consistently renders live versions of her songs that completely elevate the the album versions. This version seems like an absolute rebirth of the original.

[@lorenzoorzari4996]

Soul stunning. Voices reaching from beyond both sides of the portal between life and death, ethereal emotions of loss and love through parting breaths.

[@camouflagedgoon7987]

this has to be most beautiful song i've ever heard in my life. i love tori, but she outdid herself on this, cannot get more perfect

[@sarahmunoz7134]

I couldn't agree more with that statement. I had tears in my eyes.

This is one for the ages.

[@SuperThaidave]

This is amazing. The bass just flows so beautifully as a counterpoint to her ethereal vocalisations. Sublime.

I couldn't agree more! just magnificent woman. MAGNIFICENT! She leaves me speechless breathless, my goddess for over 30 years now.

[@bjoernmayer]

Of course!

[@nebirius4595]

I discovered Tori about a year ago, although I knew her from the 90s, but only from a few popular songs, but now I discovered her, for a whole year I listened to everything that I could find until I came across this song, is explodes my brain. Tori is delightful as a singer, as a pianist and as a composer. I haven't heard anything like it before.

....about where I'm at, except I just started last week. But after a week I can tell where this is going

Beautiful song. I was a big fan of Tori’s in the 90’s and listen to her early work all of the time. This is the first time I have listened to any of her later work. This is a beautiful song. I have been playing over and over all morning

[@saravw1]

Something about this song feels really relevant for Covid. Still haunting and beautiful and magical.

[@iangullo]

Tori is purely a magnificent poet/singer/composer. One of the finest evokers of emotion.

[@christopherrigault8995]

Merci beaucoup, Tori Amos . J'écoute I Can See New-York. La première fois j'avais 24 ans et maintenant j'en n'est 38 ans .. très belle musique et chanson magnifique même si je ne comprends pas tout les mots en anglais. Sorry

[@winogirlll]

She wrote this 2 months before 9/11 but yet the song is the only song that I can think of that describes what happened in New York on that awful day.

[@camouflagedgoon7987]

really? i always thought it was a reactionary type of song to those attacks on nyc

[@camouflagedgoon7987]

it is hauntingly perfect. i imagine the jumpers while im listening to this song :( and im fucking crying again :(

[@alans2418]

This is untrue. Everything on Scarlet's Walk was reactionary to 9/11. She isn't a prophet.

True Will of the Great Work accomplished

[@JulietteZephyr]

My new favorite song by her. It sounds like it's about the end of a relationship but as others have mentioned it also sounds like it relates to 9/11. I just find it really haunting.

[@sealgrl]

Totally about a relationship ending for me...my boyfriend left for New York right after he told me we were not going to be couple anymore..even though we talked about flying there together during our relationship. I was always afraid flying....one night in a drunken state before he left, he told me we would always be together, even in death-he would find me. He went to New York without me that very year...he made it back but I never found his heart again. Funny how songs transcend

[@JulietteZephyr]

linda hernandez wow, that's crazy.

[@AnaRomeroAnaRomero]

me encanta , la vi en directo y cuando cantó esta canción , quería dividirme en dos personas ,para percatarme de tori y a la vez de su música , y me fue muy difícil

[@bannor99]

I think I may love this version as much as the one on The Beekeeper; this may well be one of the most underrated of her masterpieces. correction: Scarlet's Walk, not Beekeeper.

[@serpentsally]

I"m sad..This song reminds me of 9/11 and now the attacks on Paris. Prayers with all those who lose their sacred lives to violence.

[@geminikb]

serpentsally tori is the first musician who performed live in America after 9/11. She did a cover of Tom Waitt’s “it’s time.” It was on a late night talk show.

[@derekmcewen3631]

When you combine this with Pancake, that's what I always think about too.

[@queenmoline]

All we have, soul blueprints...

[@ginawhoever9734]

+queenmoline who else but Tori could have put that so eloquently? and have it break your heart at the same time... this is one of those songs that, when it comes on, i have to choose whether or not i *can* even listen to it at that moment. there are quite a few like that... i am an RN in NJ and we all had to report back to work mandatory that day. they thought there would be too many wounded/deceased for the NY hospitals to handle. finding out that there was *nothing*.... *no one*... and that we could "go back home" was one of the most gutting moments of my life. how do i go back home now? a couple of the nurses in the ER let out a cry, a scream and we were all holding each other...

[@winogirlll]

I agree, the first time I heard that lyric it was powerful. I love the way Tori's intelligent brain works.

[@ZenarchersLair]

Thanks for posting. Guess I need to get this video soon. This was an amazing tour, saw it at Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, AZ. This song is like the Holy Grail of Tori (to me). That dreamlike quality, looking out through the plane window, deeper and deeper yet in an emotional holding pattern. Personally it was wrapped in (a recent recovery from) an unrequited dive, so I went on Scarlet's walk. The world was hurting at this time as well, and yes, tears came to my eyes several times during this night. Tori is sublime and spins quite a tale. Love her.

[@leafnlore2712]

[@terranpettis9038]

[@maxlamenace1757]

definitively music for women("leather" and so on...).but I admit there is good melodies she plays great on piano but I think her voice and the way she sings is too repetitive:there is no vibrato on her voice. she is also limited by singing always in the same register .....and its fulsome and sometimes annoying because it does not soil the song even when she sings in a higher register.You can hear that in the song she plays in the video..after you hear precious things and it's almost the same register...when I make my friend to discover her music that's always the same sentence.they don't like the voice.I think it'a bit shame 'cause there is very good songs ,especially the piano composing is sometimes really bad ass...
