Tori Amos - "I'm On Fire" (cover)

[@mylovelyman2]

As a massive Springsteen fan, I can have the grace and respect to say that Tori covers this exquisitely!!! There is no threat here, just more beauty!

[@sommer5189]

Everything about this is like a warm glass of whiskey on a cold snowy night.

[@boshkat]

Saw Tori perform this in Sydney in about 1996. It was amazing live! The hairs on the back of my neck sat up- not a person moved. evryone was mesmerised. I have been looking for this cover performed by her for years!!! Yay for youtube!

[@cherylmadigan4320]

I saw her for the first time in 94 and she opened with this. I was not ready for it lol.

[@Aerialgrrl]

same. Told her about it when I got to meet her in 2014!!@@cherylmadigan4320

[@Aerialgrrl]

Must have been late 1994 - we didn't see her again here in As until 2005!

[@ConstantJubilation]

I'm a diehard Springsteen girl, all the way-- But this is one of the strongest covers of his I've heard. It makes the song into something completely different, and how can I complain about that? Well done :)

[@Tuscarora64]

I am a big Boss fan, but really also enjoy this one, i like Tori, shes so unique in her style and has a good sense for the core of a song.

[@terrapinbrad]

I hear you, Arimababy. Tori truly remakes the covers she chooses and she does it so magnificently. It's like the original artists initial intent is amplified and polished to a whole new clarity. It's amazing how she can nearly put you in a trance if you truly listen rather than just hear.

[@rigaitan74]

Takes me back to a time where music mattered...... I miss it so.

[@acidbat4441]

amazing cover.. she is so amazing.. holy shit... that look on her face.. i love u

[@Jumanji1st]

wow, this one sent a shiver straight down my spine from the first second i listened to it.

[@itsmrydee]

The best cover of this song!

[@tinastanley4444]

Mary Diaz yes it is

[@jaxymama]

She totally captures the letchy, barely held back restraint of a predator. All teeth, pure wolf in waiting.

[@kimbye1]

Tori is ace at coversongs. She has covered a broader range of artists than any other musican i can think of and for the most part pulled it off brilliantly.

[@unabashedlybroken6789]

I love her covers.

[@pianomist]

This is how I became aware of Tori, back in 1996-97 when this aired on VH1. I loved it! I was about 12 and I soon fell in love with her music and have been a fan ever since!

[@pumpkinpjays]

Thanks for posting this--I still have the VHS from 1996, and this song is a big reason :>) Definitely the best cover of "I'm on Fire" I've heard from her. I'm a long-time Toriphile, but damn I miss the Boys-For-Pele era...

[@riccardosaga]

Beautiful! As usual Tori can cover other people's songs, changing them radically but catching their intimate soul.

[@darcey55]

Gorgeous, especially that little piano solo in the middle. Tori is amazing.

[@slowdiver5732]

Probably my favorite of her all of her covers

[@TechnicJunglist]

Makes me emotional every single time

[@SuperAlias11]

The sensuality in this is off the scale...

[@beatacatthegreat]

I adore this version and being Tori's devoted fan I dare to say that this interpretation is closer to my heart than Bruce's original. Which doesn't mean I don't love each one of them. ;)

[@riotgrrrl7797]

simply amazing....

[@oldwelshbloke6860]

Such sensuality and sexuality in one eyebrow raise or an intake of breath

[@amyessgee6212]

Right? Even when she BREATHES it is amazing...

[@unabashedlybroken6789]

Right??! She is a goddess!

[@shannonstarr121]

The look she give when she sings I can take you higher is just... Wow.

[@stephlefort355]

Exactly

[@danicka]

i like how this version simmers below the surface. great interpretation of a great song

[@KJS-KJP]

totally love this version tori is full of passion...i;d like to hear them sing it together

[@sprinklesandsugar108]

Even her breathing is amazing 😉

[@aimkissss]

Absolutely breathtaking

[@Marcusnoo]

Love Tori Amos. Allways does these AMAZING songs. Thanks for upping this :)

[@BoysForPele1989]

I am feeling overwhelmingly somber emotions through every molecule of my body and being listening to Tori's version. Even in the restrained, powerful confidence she sings and ends the song with. I have fallen in love with a man and feel such fire, but mine is unrequited love. Passion. Longing. Yearning. Desire. I'm on Fire.

[@kidw1964]

You Will Find Someone That Truly Shares That Emotion With You And Then BLISS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Possienke]

I lov both versions. The song fits perfect for her.

[@markd3107]

1996?!! Thought I'd heard all of Tori's music and then I've come across this whilst searching for a digital version by Bruce. Tori's version is sublime, haunting and simply inspiring. To copy of a Springsteen song, and do it justice in your own, personal, way is simply awesome.

[@aaurantia]

Perhaps, if I had never heard Bruce breathe this out in full, smoky carnality I would appreciate Tori's version. I love Tori Amos -- many of her songs grip me at the dead center of my heart and refuse to let go -- and her intricate, soulful and sometimes howling power of a voice. But I have to say, she murdered this one. :P

[@te3420sig]

i love this song so much

[@qwerxel]

Amazing cover

[@dalepurves5825]

This is phenomenal!

[@juanbjork]

Gorgeous.

[@Iwtchutube]

Tori Amos was actually Jewel's inspiration... Heard her say so in her own words. If there was no Tori Amos, there may have been no Jewel.

[@razycrandomgirl]

And Kate Bush was Tori's. 🙂

[@smarlonc]

Wonderful! My speakers are smoking.

[@debjonesloyal4190]

effortlessly beautiful

[@jupitercrash07]

Man you are crazy. Both versions are great. Tori is amazing.

[@eXia113]

So ppl like this and ppl don't (I personally think it's great), but there's no denying Tori is one helluva musician. Listening to her gives me goosebumps!

[@maritree]

one of the most beautiful covers i have ever heard. it kills me..fkn amazing. i love u tori x

[@lorenzino1]

Hi ! Before "hearing" that song while I write, for exemple, I always listen to the song, for me that means doing nothing else, only listening. That song is "sweet", and the piano sounds well for such a version. Well done again. BYE !

[@cyberqat]

okay, thats amazing. Never listened to much Tori Amos before, but I'm very imrpessed. She does it sort of like a Jazz torch song.

[@bigtimetorifan]

Love love love me my Tori..oh and of course her cover on this ;-)

[@jennyschwartz4329]

I love it!

[@zaphodb9213]

Unexpected. Enjoyed.

[@ZephyrInTheSky]

OI! What's with the hate? She had a great talent, her songs ain't demented they're just very intricate. It's a good cover and I'm a springsteen fan myself!!

[@amberausten7]

I forgot about this!!! Dayum that's good!!!

[@SuperMassimo20]

divine... sublime.. my lady

[@SieglindeMoos]

Doing cover versions has something to do with showing gratitude for a song that has inspired you. I like it very much and understand how she found this song artistically inspiring.

[@mrblisterfist]

Absolutely !!!!!!!!!

[@strangelittlegirl27]

OMG I have never seen this, THANK YOU!!!!

[@DanyDizzay]

Wow!

[@chickenheadz77]

beautiful!

[@missoctober77]

I'm surprised at all the rude comments. Why are you watching this anyway? Were you expecting it to sound like Bruce's version? What's the point of a cover if you're going to copy it exactly. It's haunting and gives me chills. The piano is beautiful, and her voice is sultry.

[@digitalghost89]

I absolutely love her cover of this song

[@tedisome]

this is AMAZING!!!

[@zontyr6]

awesome

[@joemarques8104]

Lindo

[@patrickkohler8701]

wonderfull

[@tobiascdngustaf]

I've heard this one live, too. It's one of my fave covers Tori does. I think I've heard it 2 times...maybe 3? she likes this one, at least she liked it a lot in previous yrs, i'm out of touch on this last tour (no $ to go). maybe i'll cover this sometime? forgot about it! (springsteen makes me think of my parents' divorce, as my dad listened to "Born in the USA" on vinyl over and over again right when my mom moved out! so i'm not so big on springsteen lol.)

[@CluckyBaby]

Man I love her

[@Ms.SullenRiot]

Yes

[@icbm777]

Tori does amazing covers this is definately one of them, she Looks so pissed though, l love it!!

[@Claymore1977]

My sentiments exactly!

[@VannMan826]

very nice

[@omfern]

this song is like made for tori.. would like to see a studio-version of this

[@erika9763]

[@irishgalAMY]

ye i luv the bat for lashes version aswel

[@wakeupsunnysideup]

I've never heard her cover. I like it as much as the original.

[@Lenak2266]

💖

[@unclefish]

wow

[@Princegweedo]

Im on fire after seeing Tori in this video. Good Lawd.

[@RoryConwayAcoustic]

yes!!

[@JCanipe]

@Iwtchutube We are so lucky that she is not "pure" or "wholesome". Her having the guts to be what she is, to let her raw, seductive, bewitching nature shine through for everyone who appreciates it to enjoy, earns her my respect and admiration.

[@zirconviper]

I cried more to Tori's version than I did Bruce's version.

[@martarodriguez538]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@4skinmasseure]

Tori is pure talent.

[@herrgolf]

And NOW I want liquor.

[@TechnicJunglist]

Make it a double

[@DigitalSoda]

:-) love this

[@UkkoA]

@doh1959, in my life both are one. I referred to just watching. We've got at least five senses, so let's use them all.

[@pianoboy88]

Love it! Kicks the original's ass.

[@phoenixcube]

love the original but wow, this is fantastic

[@alcmudgrdn]

@ecwcwwf It's on a VH1 Crossroads cd. Check Amazon for it.

[@screenie100]

I love the way that the character in the song seems vulnerable. It might be more complex and interesting than the original song.

[@mrbusybee2710]

@timdurgan haha- love it! ;)

[@DAGROOVE1000]

this is brilliant, follks.

[@highflyerdara]

Wow, how romantic! You must be a poet....

[@hollyboo21]

@JCanipe You said it, but I think the honesty she had about these facets of her personality IS wholesome and pure, no?

[@PolliFaxToaster]

yes! a very haunting interpretation. usually she takes a song an reinvents it... but in this instance she was very true to the original - with only a twist of amos... and the result is nothing short of amazing.

[@aceboy723]

nice

[@ecwcwwf]

Why wasn't this song ever released on CD or Mp3? Been looking for over a decade.

[@ChoirgirlHotel08]

Yes.

[@pianoboy88]

I agree with you totally. Honestly, I only really said Tori's version was better in the first place to piss off all the haters. But I do like both versions pretty equally.

[@MayaLiladiVento]

F*ckin' transmission right here!!!

[@wilkiukstis]

uhu - ha - ha.... i'm on fire - I love it..

[@goldengatechapel3982]

Such an elegant romantic piece. I prefer this cover to Bat For Lashes version, although I absolutely love Natasha, but Tori wins on this one.

[@slowcloudorca5071]

How do you feel about the Boss? You like his version?

[@KaansRoom]

GoldenGateChapel I love Natasha's version a lot more than this one! Hers is so fucking devastating.

[@mariak2047]

+Slowcloud Orca His version is beautiful. he just captures burning desire so beautifully...so melancholic

[@oppothumbs1]

Glad Tori did this cover in an understated way as she did for Neil Young's intimate Philadelphia. I never know which Tori I will get.

[@justinsomething]

her version of philadelphia is AMAZING. one of my fave covers of hers

[@tallisonrausch5719]

Another exquisite cover she never released is “Little Drummer Boy” Christmas tune. So ethereal it floats in way that shouldn’t work but totally nails it anyway 😲

[@WoodRatGirl]

Tori deserves more fucking respect on here.

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

listen to the version by Ari Hest. Pure magic! You can find it here on youtube. Listen to the one where Ari Hest is standing on a scene with the sunset behind you. I'll say it again: PURE MAGIC!!!
