Tori Amos - Horses (1996)

[@LOLmusics]

nearly 30 years later, this song is still parked in my subconscious

[@MacDragard]

Boys for Pele is probably my favorite Tori album. I love the baroque style of the songs.

[@takernotagiver]

I agree. It's almost as if Tori is an acquired taste, but once you listen for a while you realize she's a genius.

[@goldenerdezember]

My all time favorite and most beloved Tori‘s Song, it takes me to the places I didn’t know existed

[@astronoman11]

i dont know why and maybe its something about this song but it always makes me think of the planet neptune, and space. Truly an amazing song

[@riotfacemcgee]

God this song is my soul to music. Every time I listen to it i feel whole again. I can't listen to it enough

[@katraylor]

I think that was an advantage of having to buy a whole album to listen to one song. I'd heard the "Winter" single and really liked it, then lost my copy and ended up buying Little Earthquakes so I could listen to "Winter" again. At first that was the only song I really liked, but with each listen the others got to me more and more--you have to let it sink in. : )

[@eirrac]

It's the same for me...they grew on me & now I have such intense relationships with so many of her songs.

[@gustopheles]

BEST ugly jeans ever. i love and miss the 90s. this is a beautiful, powerful performance of one of her most stupendous compositions.

[@RyanB429]

I want her to keep making music as long as she can, there will never be anyone like her, i love her so much she is an inspration to so many amd please don't forget she is a founder of RAINN, a charity that offers help to women and children in distress

[@APerfectDayElise]

I find some of her best songs to be her simplest....just her and a piano. This song used to make me cry. Some days it still does when I'm feeling down.

[@chefyanayano]

My heart melts

[@flaviazanasi]

I love this woman…such an inspiration…💔

[@AngeleDeux1]

i remember she gave Matt Pinfield the cutest hug after this interview on 120 Minutes.. ahh when MTV played Music.. n not just smut reality tv n Rap! lol

[@AngeleDeux1]

TYSM :)

[@astronoman11]

horses is a very complicated song to play. I've been listening to tori for over 10 years and still havent learned how to play this damn song. Very hard progressions.

[@OrSiriPrincz]

2021 still Inlove with her

[@amybm7]

Beautiful song...

[@bentfj5195]

Vonderfull song. Love tori amos kreativitet soul and heart 😍

[@NITAMUSIC]

@takernotagiver yea. I grew up listening to her so was very surprised to realize that people didn't really like her and that she's not that popular...it kinda hurt cause I always thought she was a genius and that her music is so beautiful. But I get it now that she's way too advanced, musically and emotionally for many.

[@MickBergen]

Tori is to a piano what Kurt was to guitar.They just touch it and beauty appears!

[@mellraizer]

stunning beautiful incredible..

[@pumpkinpjays]

One of my all-time favorites, from my all-time Tori era. Thanks for posting! Brought me back to my college days; I remember wearing leotards with high-waisted jeans...yeah, we looked cool :>O

[@Niamhdm7871]

I believe this song is about Neil Gaiman. They had a very close friendship and still are good friends. She wrote a few more with his name mentioned. Very good song. :)

[@littlerainworm550]

ooo wow!!!!this song just have begun my favourite from her.I didn´t know it.

[@astronoman11]

i really miss this tori. She's changed so much. I want this tori back again. Just her and her piano. no crazy electric guitar and crap rock.

[@r.j4449]

It´s not going back, basically because she even has lost her voice. Sad but true.

[@PreciousEarthquakes2]

Just like a guitarist gets into their music by headbanging, she gets into her music by moving on the piano bench. It is really the only other part that can move when you play lol.

[@greyroselonergirl]

I like this song

[@NymphetamineOrchid]

I'm pretty sure it's just an improv, but the "sure can" part is from Twinkle.

[@quatuorlindsay]

Genious!

[@Elle.deeyay2]

3:28... her eyes are so gorgeous

[@Gardenbugassassin]

oh she does it so well

[@HawkOfGP]

Wish there was a HQ recording of this.

[@annikasoderlund619]

This is a function of the times.

[@wellofcire]

@@annikasoderlund619 no, there are plenty of gorgeous stereo ones from then too....some doofus just did it all in ugly quiet monoRAUWUL

[@dijana00]

great

[@MySensualWorld]

@neefafa She is the world's greatest musical geniuses/artists, except for maybe a few classical/opera artists, perhaps.

[@glitterdust40]

@APerfectDayElise me too ~ ♥~ this whole album make me still cry when i am down ♥

[@angstiosis]

You're great.

[@DAGROOVE1000]

brilliant, yo

[@BoysForPele1989]

Actually her lyrics are exceedingly cryptic, however, based on your diction and grammar, I can see how it could have flown right away from your consciousness. Like a little fly, there it goes... "Off with Superfly, sniffing a sharpie pen"

[@krsnagrrl]

I miss the old Tori.

[@earthangela4490]

What does she say in the into I’m in tears whatever it was...

[@wellofcire]

neil said i'm...trippin out...faster it goes like...hee-ee cabunda said...and i'm sure said...ha

[@ladyloveliness]

@PreciousEarthquakes2 " I guess you go to far with pianos trying to be guitars" Northern Lad :-)

[@ccjmrable]

I want to know what she is singing before the official 'horses' part comes in

[@ChipChipBreak]

i adore tori, though it sounds lik "i got me samosas" i adore samosas also. x

[@Keshiaaa]

Me, too.

[@ohsinnaman]

what is the part before horses begins? is it just an improv?

[@gustopheles]

i know right? i always wanted to see them duet.

[@justincrase]

No criptic lyrics here...you take each word at face value and then you know what the song is all about. as is the case for most of toris songs. You just have to be smart enough to catch what she is saying and know the true meaning of it.....

[@CelticRaE19]

i'm off with superfly ;)

[@Chafey44444]

No. You mean you miss the *YOUNG* Tori. We ALL age not as gracefully as we had hoped we would. :o) Yours (Tori!!) Truly, Chafey Narquois Barbeau

[@remotecontol3962]

Can anyone make out the added intro? I can'not seem to figure it out.. Any ideas..?? Thanks :) ♡♡♡

[@Andrew-fh2dx]

improve

[@ohsinnaman]

why are you obsessing over the video if you don't like it? seems like someone has a secret love for tori and her cryptic lyrics.

[@TweedleDee]

she plays side saddle LOL

[@hellojeaniejeanie]

but threats that are golden don't break easily

[@LOLmusics]

*threads :)

[@Liveeruptsuj]

I think krsnagrrl was more referring to Tori Amos' performing and sound than her looks. But I could be wrong

[@pacheco2506]

@iLoveBillHicks86 Or you just love the world.. lust for life.. whats the similitude between slayer, tupac shakur, mile davis or mars volta? passion

[@mikeoscarradio]

@astronoman11 I miss old tori also but I did like the drummer and bass player, just nothing recently.

[@squatch545]

Love those tight jeans.

[@bobsyouruncle666]

@PreciousEarthquakes2 Or you know by, moving your head. Elbows Raising hands during breaks and then bringing them back down. Like all the stuff stevie wonder does, Ray Charles all those people

[@littlerainworm550]

@littlerainworm550 oh sory I wanted to write became inst. of begun

[@AnneTichelaar]

@PreciousEarthquakes2 It does look rather weird, though.

[@Darkshine42]

She is a gifted and talented singer but I HAVE to ask ... what is UP with her writhing all over the piano bench!!??

[@amocksun]

How could anyone watch this and possibly. Notice. Her. Pants. ??? jesus christ.
