losing my religion by Tori Amos

[@anthonynatas5008]

The music director for Higher Learning was spot on on his choices to carry the movie.

[@milenepoirier2287]

Isn't she amazing?!?!..... right to the heart and soul.

[@thwwoodcraft1449]

Just lost in the beauty of this. And the grandeur of Tori's personal story. She has spurred emotions in me at so many periods of numbness in my life.

[@Ryan-ct2gj]

Since I returned home from jail after being WRONGFULLY PERSecuted I REALLY haven't had too much to say to most People... so Hey ToRI , THANKS toRy

[@mayavanderbent7895]

How is such pain and beauty at the same time possible. It's haunting. And profound. Tori casting her spell again. Thank you for that.

[@godduss73]

i really like your interpretation with your artistic touch to such a primal, raw song. thank you!

[@camillecaudill1946]

That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Consider this Consider the lenghts that I would go to A slip that brought me To my knees And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I set it up I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing Life is bigger Bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that i would go through Oh I've said too much I set it up I think I saw you try It's me, me in the corner Loosing my religion Trying to keep an eye on you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Thought that I heard you laughing Thought that i heard you sing Loosing my religion It's me. It's me.

How to make a man cry: 1) Put on any Tori Amos song. 2) Watch him cry.

[@daxtonhincher3290]

This song was originally by a band named REM. I heard her talk about it in an interview.

[@user-gh8wt2zi2n]

REM is also bigger and more iconic.

[@lylehoward5277]

Tori, Tori, Tori .. you haven't changed since my sisters used to listen to you in the early 90s. I finally decided that even with all your talent, you were the most depressed person on the face of the earth. This would be a song that would draw you, for sure. I guess you're good to listen too like once every 10 years or something, otherwise it's too sad.

Of course for her : losing her religion is part of her life ... or am I mistaken ? I am so deeply touched Tori !!!

[@Alphacentaurizero]

Awesome!

[@eabof311]

Tori didn't need to touch this cover for it to be already gold..This sounds like every single one of her songs. Depressed piano and she sings every song with every same melody. Hey Tori, Kevin and Bean called, they want their era back. Hooray, it's 1993.

[@MephProduction]

you're obviously not familiar with her rock and electronica albums then

[@danasimpson9875]

Tori, you have made a cover song of ALL of my favorite alternative rock band, turned each and everyone of them into a gut retching emotional, beautiful experience. Dam, woman you are amazing

[@hypnofrogdevotee]

So true! Wish she would do way more of these covers.

[@christianw4231]

Only Tori Amos has the capability of turning a beautiful song into something even more astounding.

[@rosscox9674]

Seeing her in person is unbelievable the best show I've ever seen of hers was when she played a solo performance. She had two baby Grands on stage and straddle the piano bench and played them both It was magnificent and unbelievable

[@Brickhaus1971]

tori covers will kick you in the face if you just listen

[@jakesteed4145]

in a perfect world there would be no electoral college and every song there ever was would be covered acoustically by Tori Amos

[@TheARizzle101]

There is nothing feminine about remembering happy memories that bring you to tears. There is nothing feminine about overwhelming emotions. I am not feminine because this song is beautiful and makes me want to cry. I want to cry because Tori Amos brings out emotions I didn't know could be felt.

[@user-gh8wt2zi2n]

well, this song is from 1991 and is by REM, an all male band, so....

[@j.brandon7402]

You sound insecure.

[@mikeyweaselwhipper3074]

i love tori's covers. (i edited this down from 9 sentences lol)

[@CorneliusSchwarzenstein]

R.E.M. always gives me shivers. I have no words to describe what this one did to me.

[@CorneliusSchwarzenstein]

When I heard it the 1st time, I literally laid on the floor crying.

[@aj2674]

There was a time when if you were covered by Tori Amos you had made it.

[@user-gh8wt2zi2n]

Well, REM were already big in the 80s, so it's a lil late

[@Killingly860]

On repeat 20yrs later💕📩👑

[@Wizard4169]

Some of Tori's covers I already liked, some she turned me on to, but she does seem to have a knack for making a song uniquely her own.

[@SirGraylon]

Her father was an evangelical christian. That might place this cover in context.

[@Supernidyastar78]

Jonathan Bennett I have come to the conclusion she might have been abused or disillusion with Christianity for a very dark reason many of her songs have this recurrent theme. She is lovely talented but you can sense her sad dark spirit intertwined in them.

[@Judiblueye]

at knife point.

[@lcjevers]

very nice way of singing REM's version, love her interpretation, sounds of the piano makes it complete...

[@chakastewart8924]

I've been listening to her since 1994. She's amazing and her music is too.

[@CalypsoPoppy]

[@melisagutierrez761]

Its a whole new different view about Losing my religion, it make me chills😱i love it

[@mariasolarus66]

This totally makes the song about actually losing one's spirituality instead of about the meaning of the southern phrase, "losing my religion."

[@amylh322]

If you see Higher Learning, and this song was of course on the soundtrack, it adds such even more meaning. This and (was it just called "Butterfly"? Arrgh my stuff is all packed away in boxes as i live out of a suitcase - TY for YT!) were just beautiful and terribly sad. The lady knows how to reach down and pull out every emotion - and then had the honesty to bring it to us. There's no one like Tori. She is definitely so very special.

[@joegrogan1287]

I’ve been looking for this song since Higher Learning came out and it I was today years old when I found it! Thanks google music!!!

[@masbrace]

This is insanely good.

[@easeemann]

Well I can see how you might think that. The fact that she was by the age of five, she had begun composing instrumental pieces on piano. At 5 she won a full scholarship to the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Conservatory of Music. She did get kicked out at 11 for wanting to play Rock and not what they wanted. The fact that she is a recognize music prodigy does not mean you have to like her singing. So when did you start to compose music?

[@michaelcovel3793]

Well.....you knew it was just a matter of time before she covered this song😅

[@matteroftime89]

I fell in love with this woman 2-3 years ago... Her voice, her life in music, her way to tell stories,and her covers are so deep and personal... She had such a deep connection with the music and her piano that she can find new meanings in this songs... Once she covered Britney Spears's "Baby one more time" and she turn that pop song into a music experience!! Tori is not human... she is god=)

[@jokerfacevdgaming3477]

This is superbly Tori doing her 1 of a kind co'vers ... and she is so damn good at interpreting ALMOST ANY OTHER MUSIC and making it her own! She is the incarnation of Picasso's famous quote, "A good artist copies...a GREAT artist, STEALS.' CUZ if u didn't know the original version, you'd swear the genus of Tori 's covers sprang straight outta her tousled, red-curl covered head. This piece is especially moving and packed emotionally...not unlike the unplugged version of 10,000 maniacs Noah's Dove. Voice and piano really are more powerful than The force of a full orchestra or even Slayer!
