this song literally changed my life. I was 15 at the time. super religious. my brother's girlfriend brought this b side to our house, and my bro said "listen to Spark, it's so good!". So, I took the cd, fell in love with Purple People, and listened to it on repeat for days. I came out of the experience an entirely different person. I left my religion and turned toward music instead. Best spiritual decision I've ever made.

What a powerful message. Music is our own spiritual pathway that is WAY more complex and important than any doctrine! I agree... this song (and this version of this song) is otherworldly. Such an unusual, poetic beauty.

@@somethingtidal it’s so funny because I normally just ask Siri to play it but I suddenly felt compelled to search KZbin ignoring my usual “Tori live” performances in favor of just “Tori Purple People” and immediately heard the first second as a completely different edit or even a different recording. Yes haunting indeed.

You're right, the "remaster" sounds more polished but it got rid of the drum brush or snare? idk anything about drums intro and it sucks compared to this. Now I understand why I got rid of A Piano so fast. I already had most of the singles + the extras were boring to me and kind of regret getting rid of the singles now.

I wish we could get an official release of this version. I was hoping we would get it on a potential Choirgirl 20th anniversary deluxe edition, but that obviously didn’t happen.
@MySensualWorld3 жыл бұрын
It still needs to happend, it does. I guess it is because her many fans are just not buying her music anymore. What, with what has happened to the music industry, the economy, and of course the culture and politics. Alot of her EWF are probably low on funds. Through all this though Tori has remained so creative, inspirational, and true to her self.

Well, hey, do you do judo when they surround you? A little mental yoga, will they disappear? It's grim but never dubious as motives go One thing she'll always promise, promise is a show Thunder wishes it could be the snow Wishes it could be as loved as she can be These gifts are here For her, for you, for me I watch me be this other thing and I never know If I'm marooned or where the purple people go Then lily white matricide from vicious words It doesn't leave a scratch, so therefore, no one's hurt Thunder wishes it could be the snow Wishes it could be as loved as she can be These gifts are here For her, for you, for me And on and on, the nurses make it clear Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear A restaurant that never has to close Breakfast at every hour, it could save the world So, hey, do you do judo in your finery? An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly Thunder wishes it could be the snow Wishes it could be as loved as she can be These gifts are here For her, for you, for me La, da-yah, ha-la, ah-yeah For her, for her, mhm

it was a misprint on the cd single - this song is just 'purple people.' listen to her version of 'have yourself a merry little christmas,' which was the following track on the single. that's the one that was *supposed* to have "(christmas in space)" appended to it.
