Tori Amos "God" (1994)

[11-Feb-1994]

[@kevvie100]

I love her dress. How I wish I'd been a teenager in the 90's, I discovered Tori way too late. I would have loved to have seen her live during that period.

[@danieldougan269]

She still tours. You can still see her. Of course, she is currently touring in Europe.

[@gussvara6594]

@@danieldougan269 well yeah, but it isn’t the same as it was in this period

[@matheus_ooliv]

Me too. I discovered her in 2009, been a fan ever since.

[@diegoarboli]

God, I can´t believe how she was able to pull off such a spiritual song in a "tonight show". By far her greatest album was "Under the Pink".

[@whitespyder9]

The 90s were a truly different time. A song like this, an artist like this would never become big today.

[@sheilaopatchen2267]

OMG!!!! I bought this CD twice because I played it so much, I ruined it. Tori’s music really spoke to me when I was a teen. Still does today ❤

[@thezuh1398]

This is the song that woke me up to this brilliant woman, her beautiful music, and her outstanding talent. ❤ Dec 2019

[@PreciousEarthquakes2]

I LOVE all of her odd clothes. This, the one from the comic-con thing. And I LOVE that she played this song lol.

[@megprego3685]

Amazing!!! She is rocking it!! Music is my drug and this performance got me going.

[@rosedelauney]

I love tori more than i can say

[@Plottoberry]

I fell in love recently with this song. It's sublime.

[@longhornwtf]

thanks for all these 1994 videos! it was a good year...

[@victoriandorian8730]

Pretty good

[@PianoCeleb]

Great artist.

[@Andrew-fh2dx]

Amazing talent

[@jasonpeters9716]

If u werent "there?" You wont totally understand. I turned 17 in June94. 1994? Was absolutely ridiculous all music in all genres. A+ music

[@amarie38]

@ASeasonedWitch it was a live performance I caught of Tori on tv one night that sold me on her music... so uniquie - and so undeniably... strong! I don't know any other way to put it. The passion is a huge part of it, but there is a confidence with that passion that says, "this is the real thing" There may be no true definition of art, but I know I hear it when I listen to Tori Amos.

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

take that god! Tori rocks!

[@msfasa]

God destroys dinosaurs, God creates man, man destroys God, man creates dinosaurs, Tori inherits the earth.

[@lifestandstillhere]

LOL. Spider Web dress and Crazy Red Hair! Love you, Tori! And, yeah, I feel old(er) too when I think of how old this song is!

[@spacedoginnebraska]

My, how things have changed...yet still remain the same.

[@spacedoginnebraska]

After all these years, she's still my muse.

[@diegoarboli]

@1Zedhead Actually I think Little Eartquakes, Under the Pink, Boys for Pele and Scarlet´s Walk are the best ones. But in this last there´s a "band" concept that wasn´t in the first three (this, because you hear a lot of just piano in them). But I think Boys for Pele was the transition between that piano soloist and the band, so it´s got not too many, but beautiful, moments like "not the red baron", or "doughnut song". Even still, Under the Pink is my favorite.

[@WOWayne325]

she is the spider telling me to come into her web....

[@JessicaClark]

Awesome song!! :) xoxox

[@dooberheim]

I love the original video with the cute rats, also. It think this and Spark are her best tunes. Wish she was still making music.

[@michaelfloss845]

?? She toured this year and her last album Ocean to Ocean is from 2021.

[@JGPlisken]

What?! How have I not seen this?! Haha, look at Caton back there with his gigantor hat... he's not in Jay's band... This must be the first performance of God with a band, if not, very close to it. Great!

[@vels619]

supreme song!!!!!!!!

[@djtrixen]

kickass

[@MySensualWorld]

This version sounds incredible about the closest live version to the studio version.

[@peterd.9522]

I love this ! I also hear Laura Nyro' s influence too. A flawless talented artist, Tori is The Real deal here.

[@SheenaRea]

my my my !

[@maurosilveri6950]

Too good

[@BoysForPele1989]

I know!! I fucking want her sea net dress. Reminds me of a captured mermaid. Gorgeous.

[@jackhillty]

i love that she played for j leno's audience

[@1Zedhead]

@diegoarboli Yea, There are a lot of poignant moments in that album for sure. Sorry if I came across as a douche. It is great that you have a profound appreciation for the music, so much so to notice the transition she made from predominant piano to letting the band do their thing. I hadn't really noticed it until you pointed that out, so thank you.

[@tinanicolealexiou]

@AisforAdam1 90's music is the best!

[@BrittnyShrub]

Wow... yeah turn the piano up but otherwise... this is the sexiest version of this song I've ever heard. WOW!

[@BoysForPele1989]

Tori speaks in metaphors and irony; she is brilliant. So try to be a little more adept in matters of analyzing complex song structure and Tori-speak thereof. I would say she is being coy about the societal construction of love operating in roles domination and submission.

[@KTUNIT]

She is fucking ungodly! Amazing!

[@randycunningham7318]

Was the sexiest woman alive

[@evantai79]

it is a song about God, but, not of love... "God, sometime u just don't come through, do u need a woman to look after u?"(...) "where u allways go when the wind blows?"(where is God when the things go wrong)...she is asking if God doesn't handle the heavy situations and if he needs a woman to take care of him...so it is not about her love towards God

[@Imsleazy666]

shes very talented. i have to admit. im not even a fan of this style of music. but the world could benefit if there were more like her and less like britney spears and the like.

[@JessicaClark]

??? Are you crazy??!! She is a beautiful goddess...

[@BoysForPele1989]

Honey, do you even listen to her words, Tori is not a christian. Her work is one of the catalysts that enabled my conscious to escape the constraints of the christian paradigm. "Moses I know, I know you've seen the fire, But you've never seen the Fire, Until you've seen Pele blow"

[@toribjork10]

well if the new album is anything like the last few at least i'll have a new coaster for my beer.

[@houseinthecountry1]

You just don't come through

[@1Zedhead]

@ehors123 There is. I found it via toriamos.com. It should still be there. They also had two versions of Cornflake Girl. One of Kelly Bundy's boyfriends was in one of 'em. He's the stud in the tin can.

[@MonaLisaFaceMusic]

Of course the guitar player turned himself up 1:01 lol

[@danieldougan269]

Tori always plays a Bosendorfer. I wonder what would happen if she appeared on stage and saw a Yamaha piano. Would the show be canceled?

[@1Zedhead]

@elguerreromuisca You have my respect.

[@amylynnmorris7999]

Maybe this song is not about God, but more about any man.

[@acusticadam]

i think she wore that dress on the corflake single artwork

[@n8vsprt315]

Adam Smith Singer Songwriter ...9yrs later, When I was in h.s. & college in the 90's/2000's, even now, I’ve collected all of the singles/maxi/imports & yes that dress was used for @least 1 of the singles (most likely ”Cornflake Girl“ as I don’t have it in front of me), but also a 2 part-er, as well as @least 1 bootleg. As far as the performance, I think or wouldn’t be surprised if she had more than just one of her multicolored net dresses.

[@1Zedhead]

@opus2k10 Like yours?

[@1Zedhead]

@jtarantula3390 she is a wonderful individual.

[@Ken9Skinner]

woman's day.

[@dboles27]

turn the piano up!

[@RentTheSpokeMan]

i only just learnt shes an atheist

[@snowball1988]

yeh the piano is a bit too quiet on this one

[@suckafish80]

It's a spider-web.

[@joelw2023]

I would respond with creedence clearwaters "pagan baby"

[@NatureGirl62]

AisforAdam1: ...as you should (have a crush, that is). As I watch this, it doesn't seem that it is - or should be - 15 years ago. Where are women rocking now? And why aren't they?

[@1Zedhead]

@diegoarboli Then you haven't matured yet. Boys for Pele, song "Not the Red Baron". That is all.

[@InKa4484]

i'm not but i'm sure she doesn't believe in yaweh or allah. This song is blasphemy and i love it.

[@hakkujin]

@slanguish A man is supposed to stand to shake hands and a lady is supposed to remain seated to shake hands. We are supposed to stand to show our respect for the fairer sex and she knows these things.

[@reladham]

She is talking about a severe and possibly abusive alpha male head of house. I think so. However, there is nothing spiritually good about the song no matter how you look at it.

[@JGPlisken]

What?! How have I not seen this?! Haha, look at Caton back there with his gigantor hat... he's not in Jay's band... This must be the first performance of God with a band, if not, very close to it. Great!
