Tori Amos - Winter (REACTION) with my wife

[@Bonzoso21]

As a skater teen in the 90s listening to Metallica and Tool and NIN, I know I wouldn't have been mature enough to give Tori a chance. I would have been too insecure in my metal-ness to be caught listening to a woman performing solo with just a piano. As a prog-metal guy in my 40s, it makes me sad to know that there was this undeniably captivating badass, once in a lifetime artistic soul out there all this time and I let her slip by on the fringes of my awareness for so long.

[@dsum6377]

don't worry, she is still out there performing and creating! So many new albums and amazing live performances

[@louislong6915]

Which is funny because she dated Trent and did a duet with the guy from Tool.

[@TheQuietComprehending]

More Tori Amos please!

[@ThistleAndSea]

Tori is the real deal. She has written so many wonderful songs, and many of them are as deep, and personal, and moving as this one. She is exceptional. Thank you for sharing this one. 🙂

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

yah, she is a force of nature:) Seen her live, fantastic 😊

[@AP-gb3eh]

She was magical in concert. Her music is so personal and so very beautiful . She seems both fragile and steel at the same time

[@julesglitter]

Tori doing what Tori does best. She's a musical genius.

[@greggibson33]

One of the greatest live performances ever recorded.

[@patriciamckean4682]

You need to see Precious things, live in session (1998) a rocking Tori and an absolutely stunning performance

[@thecraftmasque]

Tori is such an amazing songwriter - the entire little earthquakes album is heartbreaking brilliance.

[@michaelmueller9635]

Tory Amos is a treasure. She is like a Siren in the Greek mythology/Odyssey.

[@uncletom618]

This is the best performance of this song Ive heard. Perfect even. Lucky the filming happened.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

There is another live one from the same concert, a year before or later, I am not sure, where she wears red top. It is also unique, because she tackles the song slightly differently this time, in singing as well as in her gestures and facial expression.

[@donovanguerin2124]

I cry every time i listen to this. Magical

[@Mr.Thermopyle]

"Crucify" is also one of her best songs, but you can never fail tho choose from her whole catalog ... thanks for your kind reaction for one of my favorite artists ...

[@willfromyadkinville]

my hometown woman! we love her so much!

[@keith535]

Cry every time I hear this song

[@justmecl4507]

Your tears said everything... If you EVER get a chance to see her live (I have been lucky enough several times)... GO TO THE SHOW. Is such an amazing experience. Please explore some of her other music. She is AMAZING !! Thanks for watching this.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

yup same, and yup go go go

[@deller79]

Great reaction. Tori is amazing. She delivers her performance with such emotional expression it’s hard not to get overwhelmed ✌️

[@Spinny78]

Please watch this song from RAINN in 1997. The most heart wrenching version.

[@anthonypallen7919]

You made me cry as well ! You guys are so genuine

[@theglanconer6463]

Played it when my dad died. Died young, he had always had my back. So in way I'm blessed.Still make many mistakes but I hope I do him proud. (and yes many interpretations of this song but this was mine; try to love yourself because Time is breathing down your neck)

[@onomatopie1]

respect....👍

[@bobbern4567]

tooooooorrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii one of the best musicians of world grrrr

[@MrDmarkv6]

A wonderful artist. The Little Earthquakes album is a masterpiece

[@yrankin1]

Beautiful reaction. I have seen her 3 times starting in her earliest years. She always stuns.

[@sidhedanu]

I loved your reaction. Tori is truly wonderful. The songs that move me in that way with her over and over again are Cooling and Here. In My Head.

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

Tori was my artistic awakening and she has been my favorite artist since 1996. I've learned and grown so much from her music, her interviews and her books. I've also been lucky to have interviewed her a couple of times. That advice "never meet your heroes" is entirely wrong when it comes to her. She is kind, gracious, insightful, patient and revealing-and always, always comes from a place of compassion, even when she is confrontational. I watch videos of people reacting to her music because it is moving to see people discover her unique voice for the first time. The variety of her music from song to song is wildly different and so some people really can't warm up to her or understand where she is coming from depending on the first few songs they hear, but the empathy and compassion and vulnerability you hear in this song is the heart of almost every one of her songs. She's so underappreciated and misunderstood.

[@SeeJay81]

I search for reactions to this song all the time, because of it's beauty. I've never seen your channel before, but searching for this brought me to you, and I think your reaction is quite possibly my favorite reaction I've seen. So beautiful.

[@JukeboxJunkie7]

I hope Tori has seen this. Thank you. Please do lots more Tori, she is truly incomparable-an exceptional artist.

[@vls3771]

Its beautiful but its powerful and deeply sad yearning mix of pure emotion her musical skill is overwhelming yet you only hear the heart yearning ...tori is like shes ready to explode but somehow tames the beast...

[@1Hiprascal]

Tori is A M A Z I N G Nobody else like her

[@patatedestenebres]

My favorite female artist for thirty years. Each of her compositions are powerful and so inspiring.

[@targetedfitnesswithrosemarie]

I'm so glad you two loved this performance as much as I do. Tori Amos is one of those performers that excel in live performances.

[@brrryan2908]

Wow is right! She captures the nuances and dynamics of emotions and relationships.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

I have watched you reaction again and now I am overwhelmed, too. Never thought I could make Andrei cry and Dominika speechless at the same time.;) But as you said, that is music for you. Tori has always had a special way of expressing herself while performing and it had quite a bit to do with the rape I mentioned in my comment. Her positioning has always been very provocative and when she goes to work at the piano and sometimes the organ on opposite sides at the same time I am left with my mouth open. She makes her beautiful lyrics and music soar high and takes you on a journey into your deepest self. When I listen to her I don't mind feeling vulnerable and emotional cause it makes me understand myself better.

[@ogLogLogLogL]

An all time genius

[@jessicahimmel7867]

Tori is amazing ❤

[@marythompson4826]

If you ever have a chance to see her live, DO IT. I've seen her 7 times, each one a gift.

[@freddyhill8632]

Great reaction, beautiful song.

[@markus-bx6xo]

Great Reaction, as Always! Thank you for Sharing your Feeling. You should Check Tori live with her band e.g. "Precious Things" ...

[@targetedfitnesswithrosemarie]

Precious Things (Live Session 1998) is my favorite.

[@brucefollett8117]

I've heard this song a thousand times and this performance brought tears to my eyes. Tori Amos is beautiful, honest, sensitive and so sexy all at the same time. I know you guys love Led Zeppelin too, so you should check out her cover of Thank-you. It's different and lovely and worth the time to experience it. Great reaction as always.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Tori did some amazing music. ❤

[@matthewmaclellan_]

you both seem like beautiful people, i appreciate your reactions very much. so genuine, and emotional, and not being afraid of that.

[@adamfstewart81]

You two are adorable. 🥹 Listen to more Tori! Her fans will find you 😘 and there are a lot of us! Start with the album Little Earthquakes

[@leavemealoneimjustfreespirted]

You guys just watched one of my favorites back from when I was a teenager. She's another very unique and extremely special artist. ❤️🕊❤️

[@musashimiyamoto586]

Wow! I was hoping you'd like my request, but I am still stunned by your reaction. And I am so glad Tori managed to evoke the same kind of feelings that I have when watching her. Each and every time. If you want to delve into her music a bit deeper, you surely won't be disappointed. I would recommend "Me and a gun", quite heavy, granted, cause it is her way to cope with being the victim of a rape. Yes, that sounds scary, but if you are brave enough to watch the live performance from Montreux 1992 (where she is wearing a red top), I am certain you will understand why it is special.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you so much for this one. We still cannot get over this performance . In a good way of course 💚

[@d.l.607]

@@MerchantOfAlba This song is what he's talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYjbi4por89qhrM

[@lisarighetti6973]

Congratulations Tori, another two listener's left spellbound and captivated by your haunting beauty.💖🎆

[@andybricks576]

Tori is The G.O.A.T. 100%, she also very Punk Rock too. Tori has many albums, many songs & performs to this day, she is one in a trillion!

[@franckb8279]

Love Tori soooo much. So beautiful in every sense. Love her voice!!! Only Kate Bush can beat that. So touching

[@musashimiyamoto586]

I also love Kate Bush, but it is not a competition. They are both unique and magnificent in their own way.

[@J_Solo]

Congratulations, you have become acquainted with the work of a unique musician with a capital “M”

[@jacquesjrviens3384]

Absolute beauty 😢

[@ColonelAngus4her]

more Tori Amos please

[@VIRGODRAGON2009]

Anyone who reacts to this performance like you just did I'm Subscribing to!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you 😊

[@seansersmylie]

Seen Tori live last year, she still sounds incredible.

[@highheartwellness]

Beautiful reaction, the emotions and the tears welling. cool to see your appreciation for Tori and her artistry

[@williamhood7485]

Another beautiful reaaction from. you both. I knew you would love this. Tori along with Aurora are probably my favourite artists. I think you will love a lot of her music!

[@haraldpuester6205]

I'm very happy you find my all time favourite song and present it in a very lovely way, thanks for that.

[@greggkonitski743]

Amazing!

[@mab.8798]

I hadn't seen or heard Tori Amos in a very long time (25, 30 years??) but OMG, it never gets old and no matter how many times I played that song, boy the tears keep coming, particularly when she plays live. I love this artist. Glad you reacted to her. Andrei, ours tears were rolling at the same time! Such a beautiful, angelic, crystalline voice, and what a performance.

[@thomaseast7699]

Yep. Best live performance ive ever seen.

[@descendantoffools9767]

Tori has so many great songs, A Sorta Fairytale and Tear In Your Hand to name a few.

[@janebartholomew-w6q]

Beautiful

[@brians2869]

Have always loved her... you two have super thoughtful commentary as well

[@helmutferreira1354]

A beautiful reaction

[@se777en73120]

She’s better live than in her album versions in my opinion. I think you’d absolutely enjoy her live performance of “Precious Things”. Search for the 1998 version.

[@synystera]

so many dreams on the shelf...

[@Tbevie50]

Beautiful reaction guys. I love Tori Amos. It’s great to see her feature on your channel.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

Just one last comment. First of all Dominika saying that she "choked" on Tori's performance was such a beautiful way of expressing the impact that this artist also had and still has on me. As for the "sad" part Andrei mentioned, and that Tori seemed to be close to crying. I don't think it is really about that but more about describing her relationship to her father who was a reverend (pastor), a somewhat stern person and according to her "tenaciously pragmatic". He was angry when she got kicked out of the prestigious Peabody institute for being too much of a rebel (lucky for us, I guess). And then he took her to play some bars in Georgetown in order to "make the most of her talent". Meaning he might have been a bit harsh like parents are, but that you will find in every family. In the end it was a way for her to process the relationship with her father and her own development musically. And the way she painted the picture in the song is absolutely amazing and endearing.

[@bathory313]

Her voice is INSANE! I've been a fan of hers for many years.

[@AmyCarrier-l2k]

I love your reactions. The two of you are eloquent and emotional. I’m a new subscriber ❤

[@nightgoblin29]

Every time I see you guys I feel love!! Thank you

[@Heckenpenner42]

She's pure art not just music

[@onomatopie1]

NEVER change....

[@targetedfitnesswithrosemarie]

If you want to hear another wonderful Tori alone with her piano listen to CRUCIFY (live Montreux 1991)

[@cliveklg7739]

Tori Amos - Precious Things (Live Session 1998), one of her more rock styled songs, and just as much of a vocal experience as this one.

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

She was born in Newton, North Carolina but she moved to a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C. when she was five-so she grew up very politically conscious. That plays a significant role in her music, along with her minister father's Christian zealotry and her Cherokee maternal grandfather's spiritual worldviews. She has southern and indigenous roots and both are significant aspects of her music but she's also an activist. Her music is usually regarded as confessional poetry, which much of it is, but I also consider her a musical essayist.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

the entirety of her first 2 albums is nothing but gems like this. Another fantastic singer which is currently the closest thing to Tori is Faouzia and her latest release of Fur Elise Live is also fantastic.

[@markorchard2272]

I totally worship her. This was almost her first live performance EVER in 1992 before any record. I have seen her ‘live’ 12 times. Every album before 2000 is amazing. After that I think she was ‘lost’ to the record labels. Your pauses/silences are what makes you videos so fantastic. (great song…. But isn’t even in my top 20 favourites. Listen to Crucify - live from ‘Welcome To Sunny Florida) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ_LfJpvbcRnjNUsi=B9SWmxRvoqlHSAaQ

[@warre1]

This is from Montreux 1991 filmed in July 3. Little Earthquakes album was released January 1992. She had clearly more confidence in -92 Montreux performance which is in the same Blu-ray.

[@michaelmitchell4080]

Wonderful, you two. Next stop ... her live rendition of 'China'. Be well. /M.

[@chrisl7962]

Love watching people get Tori’d

[@rayname908]

Every song on Little Earthquakes album is amazing. Tori Amos, Cocteau Twins, and Kate Bush are the best ladies in music. That

[@andyh4224]

Crucify is her best song as someone mentioned, I love the music video, this song is a close second!!!!!

[@Godard92]

Treat yourself (in your own time) to her live performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival (1992)

[@12HLeo]

G.O.A.T

[@antoniocarlin5026]

"Father Lucifer" is about her dad too...and is precious!! ❤

[@jarvivuori]

Actually Tori has specifically said that Father Lucifer is not about her dad. Great song nevertheless!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Tori said her write the song after take ayahuasca and see her father under the drugs effects

[@dalemcmillan7231]

❤❤❤❤

[@PeterPumpkinEater83]

You should try her performence of precious things from the same show just to get some different flavour of how she is

[@joes7930]

Get the first album little earthquakes. Great. And the next 5 albums. I saw her live once. Great

[@carriemichelle322]

Tori Amos is so talented!! I've seen her in concert at least half a dozen times! She's so erotic and ALWAYS react to her LIVE! Id request Live In Session.. Precious Things, Crucify, Cornflake Girl. Definitely do more Tori!!!

[@Geralt26]

One of reactor said this song is naïve. You can say it a little, but I never had such idea before this conclusion. As for me it looks like nostalgic memories from childhood. It is also probably my favorite song from her and I like that you see and hear emotions (she is good in showing emotions by breathing) + she is also very expressive. I really like this song. Ps. She is great with piano. I never was very deep into her music, but I liked some of her songs and like some and you can say she is artist for sure (+ great live). Ps2. This will be strange statement but she is expressive but it is strange but with piano she is gives some "sexy feeling" with piano. Can not name it but it looks like this when she "interact" with piano and feel the music. But it maybe only me (and I dont sexualise her just I had such feeling as she interact with piano)

[@d.t.nelson8805]

This is one of those songs where I prefer the album version rather than live. The electronic sound of the keyboard is fine, but her playing on an actual piano gives the song a more fragile tone, and the added strength of strings on the album version provides a more emotional impact.

[@flubblert]

Check out the studio version when you get the chance, with the gorgeous orchestra accompaniment. Takes it to another whole level.

[@davidgalvez5341]

Have you guys already reacted to "Silent All These Years"? 🤔 If not, maybe you could consider doing it.

[@ogLogLogLogL]

Tori is a Silver Spring, Maryland legend! (not North Carolina).

[@Hopetheressomeone]

You should react to "China" from the same concert.

[@randomsasquatchwithwifi4090]

Now you need to see her performance with Maynard from Tool called Mohammed My Friend.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Eveeyone reacts to Tori now lol. She is amazing though, seen her twice. Very very Very special lady

[@disobedientdolphin]

If you liked this I can also recommend Cornflake Girl from Tori Amos.

[@pablovanschravendyk9877]

If you enjoy Tori, you may also be moved by Kate Bush (Man with a child in his eyes; and duet with Peter Gabriel, Don’t Give Up

[@michaelmueller9635]

Maybe you wanna go for Tori Amos "Smells like teen spirit"-Nirvana Cover.

[@ThroughTheAftermath]

You should check out my favorite cover of this song ever by a man named Casey Stratton here on KZbin. He has a small channel and the cover was recorded 14 years ago but it's insanely good. He sounds just like Tori.

[@nygener]

@Andrei if you really want to cry, listen to her song *Me and a Gun* about a rape. bring with you a box of tissues 😭

[@pietersbart]

Listen to the live version which she also sang in Montreux. It is extremely impactful.

[@IBGECKO]

“Cornflake Girl”, and watch it live, not the video.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Recommendation:) Epica - Once upon a nightmare- omegs alive concert Bit of a powerbalad, with insanely good opening and fantastic singing from Simone. You'll love it:)
