Tori Amos - When I was Dreaming

[@avoiceinthedark2028]

Just remembered this after years, sometimes I confuse it with thoughts right now. Was listening to speaking of trees and it just came to me, can’t wait to hear it after all these years, the ads are on now

De France. Rétrospectivement, si j'étais à la place des Beatles, je serai extrémement fière d'avoir, par l'intermédiaire de ce morceau, eu une influence sur une artiste aussi exceptionnelle et prometteuse que Tori Amos. TRES BELLE chanson. Merci à Tori pour la modestie d'une personne qui n'est pas ingrate et amnésique vis vis des artistes qu'elle a appréciés et qui ont contribués à être ce qu'elle est. Merci aussi et surtout à Tori pour son exigence en matière de création et d'interprétation de vouloir se singulariser et être reconnue en tant qu' elle même.. Aujourd'hui, après plus de 25 années de carrière ininterrompue, Tori nous prouve qu'elle est une artiste de Légende, ce que bon nombre de fans avait pressentis dès le début de sa carrière.

just beautiful, the ending is wonderful wish she had recorded this properly ... thankyou for posting this x

[@TheLipglossBoost]

OMG: somebody finally posted it! I asked Tri to play this in Toronto 2009 but she did not remember it. Such a shame since I would love to hear it live! - Thx for posting this!

One of the best endings to a song ever. I thought of this song after hearing Kygo's Piano Jam 2 for some reason.

[@Jerel_con_jota]

Ah ok! I remembering hearing this song on an Al Stewart album now it all makes sense❤

[@mattersburg71]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those old songs of Tori were much better than the newer ones...

[@Hereinmyhead102]

No, this was a demo for al stewart in 1988. Im still hording all the good tori stuff this just slipped out one night. Everyone else i think there are sites one the net the can rip audio from youtube and convert it to whatever format you wish.

[@lurksindarkness]

That was awesome

[@Grinnygog1975]

This demo was cowritten by Tori & Al Stewart - I never read a quote of the year. Probably 1988-1991. Tori sang backup on his LAST DAYS OF THE CENTURY album during the YKTR era & performed with him live on at least ONE occasion, as can be seen in a rare performance of his classic "Year of the Cat" here at KZbin. Go search for it! "When I Was Dreaming" first appeared on a bootleg CD titled DREAMING back in 1994/95 - who knows where THEY got it from. I just wish the song didn't FADE IN!!!

I love this song so much, it's gorgeous. Thank you for posting it!

[@hangingdj]

Oooooh I like!!!! Thanks for posting this. Never heard it before. :-)

[@spiderboris79]

This is seriously the best Tori song ever. Interesting how although this was never released, she seems to have later reworked parts of it into both Tear in Your Side ('Maybe it's time...') and Happy Phantom. Although slightly annoyed that it seems to be missing an intro / chorus / first verse???

[@JesseColton]

Well yeah it's missing pieces, it's a demo. That's kind of how demos work

[@vacheamaillot]

really that's cool! Thanks!

[@bukva2008]

beatifully Tori!

[@damiencale]

This song reminds me of a couple of her early songs. To me it kind of sounds like leather and another song put together that I just can't put my finger on.

the pic at 2:08 is so magical :)

❤❤❤

If you’d like to hear Al Stewart’s version, just search for Al Stewart “Dreaming”

[@angievigilante]

@Hereinmyhead102 love you hereinmyhead!!!!!

[@Deodar95]

Is that birdsong in the background at the very end?? Love this super-raw early demo!!!

[@CornflakeGirl101]

Beautiful! Where did you get this version? The one I have is crappy quality and I am in love with this song and would love to have it in better quality.

[@kyraleigh78]

yeah, that clip is great! he introduces her by that russian name cuz she wasn't supposed to be there ;)...

[@InkblotsAndWhatnots]

I agree...sounds like Leather and Flying Dutchman to me

[@endezeichengrimm]

Where did you find this?

[@toribjork10]

@Hereinmyhead102 you're still hording all the good tori stuff? um, yeah... you can find all her demos and unreleased stuff everywhere all over the net lol. tori's probably one of the most bootlegged artist out there, you're not likely to have anything not ripped yet.
