Tori Amos - Landslide

[@MorrisLess]

Tori takes a beautiful song and converts it into something we might expect to still be hearing in a hundred years.

Pinnable comment

[@barbvaccaro2411]

This song means so much to me. Helps me every time I'm sad. After my mom was murdered in 1992

[@mechellestewart8439]

I saw her open for Alanis Morissette at Starwood in Nashville. She covered this song. It sounded even better then. I was speechless.

[@josephliken6745]

One of the greatest songwriters covering THE greatest songwriter.....this is what dreams are made of.

[@tiralana8360]

I've heard many versions of this beautiful song and there's just something about the piano that makes this version kind of magical. I don't know any other word to describe it.

[@precioustori1]

De France. ( traduction reverso ) I listened to all the versions and covers of Landslide this very nice piece of Stevie Nicks and I must admit, that the one that moves me the most, is that of Tori Amos !!!!!!!! When it comes to piano covers, no one has the delicacy, touch, subtleties and sensitivity of Tori. Under the fingers of this magician of sound, each note that we savour becomes a musical instrument and take us into a world of inner feeling in perfect harmony with its song full of depth and intimacy that transport us together towards ourselves. The peculiarity and singularity of Tori is that in reality 'she does not play the piano! , YES she does not play the piano!! , but she plays with the (the) piano!!!!!! To such an extent that under his fingers the instrument becomes alive and is simply an extension of itself. With Tori, the ( the ) piano has a DNA, and she possesses it in her blood to the tip of her hair ( LOL ). Tori to the Gift of SUBLIMATE the instrument and sing with so much feeling that I had never before felt at this point this symbiosis of piano and singing at such a high level, that it awakened in me my artistic side. SSSSSSSUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!

[@jkk5223]

I've never heard Tori do Landslide before. This was a moment for me, thank you!

[@donnawalser7304]

Yes and me

[@vsibirsky]

I own almost all of what Tori has recorded and this is on a cd I own.

[@Brooks_MB33]

@@vsibirsky which CD??

[@nostalgiaOD]

I cannot believe she covered this, since I've always thought Winter and Landslide share similar themes -the change of seasons as metaphors to growing up, standing on your own, etc. Wow, I'm Speechless!

[@user-lc6sn2xl3u]

I didn’t even think about similarities until I read your comment, spot on.

She does the best cover of this song EVER!

[@livelaughlovedre]

I'm only 14 and I have grown up listening to tori she is one of my biggest influences in my singing

[@CharlotteWeb100]

I used to sit in the waiting room at the train station with my best friend a little Springer Spaniel and I'd sing this loudly to her because the acoustics were just perfect inside that waiting room. When it was empty, the weather was cold, the sky turning darker and the dog tired and ready for home it always seemed to sound perfect. Sad bummer alert. My best friend died last year suddenly and since then I've never been in that waiting room or sang this cos I get watery eyes, a horrible stinging sensation in the back of my throat and my jaw and chin start to move and twitch so I stop.

[@the_bearded_maximus4601]

Hope you're doing ok.

[@julesjma]

Seeing this year's later and my heart broke. Hopefully you have a new best friend getting your love. 🐕

[@formerlyarandompropernameb9327]

Fur best friend death is sheer murder. Because their love and faithfulness are so pure and real. I still haven’t healed from loosing my Southpaw- my God knows it broke my heart and broke it and broke it. Oh your comment was two years ago- but I hope somehow you get this- that I can say confidently; I feel your pain.

[@CharlotteWeb100]

@@formerlyarandompropernameb9327 Absolutely did get it thank you and you're right about how much it hurts when our best friends have to leave us for a short while until we can all catch up later. It's the one and only reason I can think of for not getting another dog - can't handle knowing one day I'll lose one again but we love, lose, grieve and move on. Short clip of Cass the day before she died. I was upset initially watching her twitch restlessly in her sleep cos the one thing she loved and would always fall into the most restful sleep is when I played piano. Then the other dog rocked up and looked at my daughter filming like "Bitch I'm trynna sleep here" and snapped me out of sadness into full belly laughter. Take care and hope a new best friend finds you sooner rather than later. They're sods for that and show up when you're not expecting nor planning it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5mWl3R4ZtN9mck

[@zombiebowie]

Love the original, but this song has been covered to death. Leave it to Tori to breathe some fresh air back into it. Haunting.

[@AunCollective]

This cover and her cover of the Tom Waits song "Time" are two of my favorite covers. Billy Corgan deserves some credit for doing a solid cover of Landslide as well.

[@jasonhenerey3346]

Stevie has that wandering mystic feel, Tori has that siren feel. I would love to hear them do this together.

[@julesjma]

Tori is just brilliant. She is a beautiful goddess of mystique and talent.

[@mommyof3_908]

sighhh...this used to be my mom and my song...whenever it came on we'd blast it n sing from the top of our lungs. Now she lives about 2 hrs away and I rarely hear from her. Miss u, Mom. 💜

Most Beautiful cover EVER!!. My Father and I LOVE Stevie Nicks, it's Her Song but Tori's Cover is Sweet and True.

[@lisaerl]

This is a really beautiful version! I just love Tori's uniqueness in everything she touches. I love the piano!

[@tytyeazy4450]

Fell in love with this song first by the dixie chicks, then stevie and now tori. All of which Ii adore and they hit you differently all in a beautiful way.

[@paulinestraker8656]

Such a pure cover. Absolutely wonderful

[@BlingzBoutiq]

I just read through the comments and I think it's rather disconcerting that people would debate which is the finer artist! Stevie Nicks wrote it herself and when she and Lindsey Buckingham did this song before Fleetwood Mac existed. (Buckingham Nicks) They did it beautifully! The song by copyright belongs to Nicks! I came here looking for Tori Amos doing various covers, this included. She is an astonishing performer and she did deliver an amazingly moving version of this song! Does Tori ever fall short? The answer is NO! Such talent and so much grace from Tori and Stevie was a Rocker thus the versions naturally would significantly vary. I'm in luv with this performance. Please don't misconstrue my intent. Just commenting on an observation regarding the comparison and arguments when they can't be compared. Tori is a classical artist and I've not seen a flaw in her masterful cover here. Stevie gives it a raw edgy sound. You just cannot compare the two. Perfect example it's like comparing Dolly Parton's 1st song written to Whitney Houston's version. It simply cannot be done! Thank -U ever so much for uploading this it's so beautiful redone ⭐️Stay Kewl⭐️ That's just my humble opinion.

[@hole8273]

+Blingz Boutiq Leonard Cohen wrote and sang Hallelujah, but I don't know many that would deny that the best version ever sung of the song was by Jeff Buckley. We all have opinions. XO

[@woody912a]

If we had Lindsey Buckinghams guitar here then we could have a debate but the dymanic between Lindsay and Stevie is always a thing

[@raininmyeyes77]

Blingz Boutiq ❤

[@mefjupl8679]

HEehehehe so true, i guess people are just being people here, it annoyed me so much when i discovered "Atlantic City" cover by The Band and all people did in the comments was comparing it to Springsteens original. But than i just accepted it and allowed them be, people are just what they are, they will always put comments like "whos listening it in 3k89" or "wow this actor looks exactly like the other actor from this romanian tele-novela"..... So, nothing stops me from enjoying amazing and perfect cover of The Band, but my heart will always stay at Bruces howling harmony in a raw original. :)

[@thebealers2102]

I remember when she played this live in Philly c.1998...

[@bannor99]

I wouldn't say that Tori has displaced Stevie Nicks' version but this is a damn fine cover.

[@BlingzBoutiq]

Such talent absolutely an amazing artist! I've Luved this song since I was a teen🌟

This is amazing! I just heard her play it in Oakland on Dec. 16, 2011. I like this better than Stevie Nicks version... I will say I still prefer the Smashing Pumpkins cover of this song as my all time favorite, but that's a no slight, this version really is incredible.

[@andrewworrall4850]

This is from a disc that Y100 (a Philly radio station circa 1995-2005 or thereabouts) put out. They had a local recording studio (Sonic) that did acoustic sets for artists, then sold the CD's for charity. I had a copy of the CD, but apparently through the course of the last 10 years lost this track from that disc. This is the exact rip from that disc.. and is the best cover of this song.. ever.

[@llliquidDiamonds]

[@toliveischristandtodieisga4205]

I grew up with Fleetwood Mac, Tori and SP. I do have a to point out that Stevie said she was "honored" by Billy's performance, henceforth she would not have given him the copyrights to perform it. I adore all three versions, because all three are different in their own right, yet they also come from the same center of understanding. I completely appreciate everyone's opinions on whichever they like or dislike or like best,etc. But I don't think we should ever disrespect the reasons why an artist has chosen to cover a song because it evokes the same emotions that it does for us, and they are simply trying to share that with us as well, which takes an incredible amount of courage and humility! This song has always been close to my own heart from the beginning as well, and changes over time the older I get; which proves the amazing God-given talent behind it! So for me personally, for others to be able to "tap into" that deep well from their own personal experience using their own gifts only makes me more grateful, above all to God, and to the musicians that could have said "no", but instead understood just how much of an impact this song had made on so many people across so many genres of music! Music brings people together, so long as you allow it to be that peaceful thing it was created for! But at least we do all agree that we love "Landslide", and that is the whole point! God bless and keep you all! All my love in Christ, Koe`

[@3333tae]

[@janknuckey]

This would have been around the time of her miscarriages, so it's no wonder that this 'girl' would come and tap her on the shoulder, and say "play me, Tori!".... Heartbreaking and beautiful

[@TheEarl666]

@TheUmm77 There is no comparison between her & Stevie Nicks, Stevie is the only one who be allowed to sing this song!

[@tinastanley4444]

Stevie wrote a beautiful song. timeless. Tori's version is so pretty. both are beautiful they aren't the same person so why compare or say ones better. I'll never understand people who enjoy judging. it's just not in my DNA to be that way.

I LOVE Tori Amos. She got me through 2 decades of life. But I love her DESPITE the fact that I don't really the piano. I am in awe of her piano-playing skills. But I wonder to myself....what if her parents had handed her a guitar instead of having a piano around? Ahh...something for me to fantasize about...Tori playing the awesome guitar instead of the annoying piano.

[@esmejay2913]

How is the piano annoying? It's an instrument that birthed some of the most incredible music this world has to offer. I guess that could be said for many instruments. But come on! It's beautiful. I'm biased being the daughter of a highly skilled pianist, but still. It's stunning, in my opinion. :)

[@RainyChua]

I can only tolerate two versions of this canonical song: Stevie Nicks' and Tori Amos'.

[@eternallypre]

Forget Stevie Nicks. Tori Amos owns this song now.

[@nugentmp]

Where is this version from, do you know? Thanks!

[@travistobbe7821]

As far as the original version argument goes... Why are you here, again? Lol. For whatever it matters, I'm fond of the original and the derivative performance. Added her own little twist to the creation. I wouldn't consider the performance a hack or a cheap knock off. I'm admittedly biased, though. Pretty sure that the term "witchy voice" has been used to describe both sirens.

[@BrianFinger81]

I like Tori Amos, and I like that they she enjoys doing covers. This is pleasing to the ear, but I happen to think SP's version is better. Corgan invokes more emotion in the lyrics, whereas Tori is just singing along to lyrics.

[@marklavender3425]

Corgan MIGHT have more emotion (I consider that debatable)...but his voice is annoying, so there's that. Stevie and Natalie Maines do far better.

[@AunCollective]

​@@marklavender3425 A male vocalist who doesn't annoy at least some people is doing it wrong. Perhaps I just have an odd preference for flawed and raw male vocals (Tom Waits comes to mind specifically).

I'm curious how much the live version I saw a few years ago by Billy Corgan differs from the 90s Pumpkins cover. Time to dig through the CDs to see if there's a significant difference.
