[@jwaxmcgeeg9706]

I am sorry for your loss. I understand my words mean nothing.. Be safe and with Christ

[@MorrisLess]

You are loved. If you don't feel you are, find a place where you will be. I'm not a religious person, but churches are often good places to find the kind of loving and care you need--just be sure to find one that is not into manipulation. Your mother, I'm sure, would want nothing more than for you to be healthy, productive and happy. I know it's hard, but your happiness is the best gift you can give her. I'm a parent, and that is exactly how I, and every parent I know, would feel.

Its breathtakingly beautiful isn't it?

[@bringthedarth]

Never too late to discover great music! I never really discovered Failure until this year.

[@lllCTHULHUlll]

I found Tori in my early thirties - roughly a decade ago. And I can say from experience that she came into my life at exactly the right time. I was aware of her, but I didn't invest time in getting to know her music until she was recommended by my therapist. Best therapist ever.

[@amandas2639]

I hear this from so many Tori fans, and it's such a beautiful story so many of us share. It seems her music finds all of us exactly when we need it. For me, it was as an awkward teenager trying to make an equally awkward transition into adulthood. And the best part is that her music changes with us as we age and experience life. This song has always hit me, like it seems to hit everyone, but after my dad passed away...oof. It's incredibly hard to listen to without bawling like a baby, but it's also cathartic, so...

[@DunkingDurant35]

First heard this nearly 20 years ago. Thought it was profound, but I was young and idealistic, so it went over my head a bit...I had lots of time and things to do, seemingly. Well, I played this for the first time in years tonight...now I'm older (37), it's coincidentally and literally nearly winter, things will indeed change so fast now that I'm close to giving birth to my first and likely only child, and I've made up my mind...my old dreams are on the shelf, my hair isn't quite grey but will probably get there soon, and there's a fire burning. That crescendo really hits me now...it's not just a manufactured emotion, but a truth and reality. It took me seemingly forever to bumble my way around in life, but now I have a little one on the way with my beloved...things have changed, and will change this winter. What an appropriate song for this time in my life now.

[@itstetravaal506]

"Winter" by Tori Amos is a song which speaks of the love found between a father and his beloved daughter and the fact that life will have to go on without his presence and that he hopes she'll do her best. "Winter" speaks of the loss of her father, due to death. As the song opens, Tori sings of the closeness found between the two. She sings at the way he protects her, encourages her, and loves her dearly. the beginning she emphasizes that he protects her, looks out for her best interests, and encourages her. - "I put my hands in my father’s glove.." This reminds me of the closeness with my own daughter, when we would go outside in the cold, I would tell her to put her nose on my neck as I held her closely to keep her warm and safe. The refrain is like a dialogue between father and daughter. Her father says she needs to realize who she is and to understand the greatness, wonder, and beauty within herself. As with almost everyone, we all have our periods of self-doubt. He encourages her when he asks, "When you gonna love you as much as I do?" When her father says, "Cause things are gonna change so fast", he is stating that he won't be able to be with her for the rest of her life; and things will change when he is not around anymore. The line, "All the white horses are still in bed" is a telling and prophetic expression. White horses have long been a symbol for death, his death. Then white horses as I see them running through the dark of night tell of the beautiful tragedy of people who fail to do realize the gravitas in every child's life after the death of your father. Almost always, the death of a father changes your life. How it changes you can be substantial, to the positive or the negative, or in some ways it can be the path to an inner peace after the love you felt for your father is overwhelming and even though you might think now it is not worth anything anymore, you'll realize at some point that a feeling as strong as this cannot be useless. Take this moment to reach out to your father if he's still here. Tell him you love him.

[@H0listicM0mma]

beautifully said... I literally cry like a baby through this song every time hear it... the emotions are so strong... I was a late in life child and my parents are my friends/husbands grandparents age... my entire childhood was being teased and worrying my parents would die sooner than they should... both are in therlir early 80s now.... I wasted time worrying instead of building a stronger connection... now I am making up for lost time.. our relationships are in better shape now than any other time of my life previously(besides being a wee child).. 💜

[@anncastaneda934]

This song makes me cry every time and I don’t cry easy. This interpretation is right on how I feel. Think of my stepfather that passed away and loved me for who I was and made a scared 12 year old see her worth... absolutely love this song... ❤️

[Verse 1] Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens Wipe my nose, get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run off where the drifts get deeper Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice: "You must learn to stand up For yourself, cause I can't always be around" [Chorus] He says: "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear" [Verse 2] Boys get discovered as winter melts Flowers competing for the sun Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was Mirror mirror, where's the crystal palace? But I only can see myself Skating around the truth who I am But I know that the ice is getting thin [Chorus] "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear" [Bridge] Hair is grey and the fires are burning So many dreams on the shelf You say "I wanted you to be proud of me" I always wanted that myself [Chorus] "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear" [Outro] Never change All the white horses, ah Hmm

Since I’m French and I was really young back then I didn’t understand the lyrics.

I like Tori Amos, she's a magnificent artist. But when someone doesn't like a certain artist, it doesn't say anything about the artist or the person who dislikes....its just a matter of TASTE, that's all. Some people do like certain music.....others just don't. Perhaps you will dislike a certain artist or music which 'they like'. That doesn't say anything about you neither....its all a matter of taste. So many people, so many flavours. Music is very taste related.

[@shoedalinuxlibrarian]

Some part of me thinks the people who don't have some tugging at their heartstrings over this song might've had a different sort of dad. He said I always wanted you to be proud of me. I always wanted that myself. When you gonna make up your mind, when you gonna love you as much as I do. Wanted this to be the father daughter dance at my wedding. DJ talked me out of it.

My favorite song and music video from Tori. There's something about her face language in that video that feels both very personnal and dramatic. She and Kate Bush truly elevated mainstream music to a divine level.

[@jillt6748]

When I was a teen, I had the chance to sing this as part of a winter concert my vocal teacher put on for the winter holidays. But I got sick and things happened and I missed the winter concert. I deliberately left the song sheets on the dining room table for my dad to see. He saw the music and read it and liked it, but honestly, that was it. He never told me if seeing what I wanted to sing to him meant anything. My father has passed away since then. Though this song didn't give me the chance to connect with my dad, I still think it has the chance to help other kids reach their own distant fathers. All my love to those of you who do.

around this time of the year i revisit this music ..jan. 29th will mark the the 13 year anniversary of the loss of my oldest daughter and her unborn son to a drunk drug impaired driver this song reminds me of the bond i shared with her and her younger sister whom i lost 2 years later...thank you tori for this piece of music and the memories it helps me retrieve no matter how painful they may be sometimes..its all i have left of the three of them ...and i cherish still.

[@acousticbold6132]

love her eyes they have a certain grasp on emotions it rings straight through her soul!! wow!!

[@CincyscreenwriterIncLoveland]

Josh Snyder That's her soul that you're witnessing.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

Yes, she is an INFJ-personality. Makes very much sense. We are closer to the "soul" of the human existence :)

[@kekelingred9220]

TheAwakenedINFJ Really...nope...her emotions and mimics are so fake...

[@AmbientWalking]

Who's listening to this in May 2020?

[@warrenb9343]

Me and not just listening, I am even printing out her music to play on my piano. Loved her 30 years ago, not sure why I lost touch.

Perhaps one of the best songs

[@natajitrcindhuchao898]

Love you, Tori. 🤍🌸

[@cmk9495]

So much of Tori Amos reminds me of Kate Bush. Both incredible, but Tori’s music really takes me to another realm. Love her.

My first Tori song, my first ever tape (that I ran through until it no longer played). LE and UtP carried through my father's death when I was 14. I was able to grow because of both albums, and they are indelibly a part of who I am. This song, and video, continue to give me goosebumps to this day.

[@jayts81]

This song absolutely destroys me. Every single time ♥️

[@FelipePacheco10]

This song turns Mick Foley into a killer.

[@Blackfeet]

Mankind is a mad man. I can just hear his pig squeals and screaming the word, "mummy" to this song.😂

[@fabipromusic]

I just coming here for this comentary😂😂

[@mjtorjan]

Foley brought me here too

[@robertchase6387]

I just finished reading The Hardcore Diaries and that's what brought me here. Have a nice day.

One of the most beautiful and touching song ever written about childhood.

[@danapohl444]

My dad actually got me into Tori Amos. Such a great song.

[@bellawolf848]

I used to listen to this song every night with my dad when i had to go to bed between like 3 to 6 years old. Im 18 now, and I'm putting my 6 year old siblings to bed while they listen to the same song to fall sleep. It brings me tears of happiness to see it from my dad's point of view and how special it really was.

[@paulelliott3220]

Tori' first album is majestic, beautiful and wonderful

[@ineffablemars]

[@kirstiecowie2141]

Me too! My mum had the VHS of these music videos and I loved watching on repeat!

[@KohalaLover]

My fav Tori Amos song. “Winter”.

[@---kp1dp]

[@BrianAndersonTT]

This is such an epic mix of dark and bright moods.

Thank you for this wonderful song.

[@sasieightynine]

[@Darkphantaria]

Why does this always make me cry?

[@jenniferromano5038]

Darkphantaria Same here. Every single time since I was 14 and heard it for the first time. 18 years later it still has the same effect. So beautiful.

[@Darkphantaria]

I have to listen to it alone lol

[@drmerkenstein7359]

Darkphantaria Every single time I hear it.

[@Winter_Dream]

+Darkphantaria I knoooow!

[@paulbriggs1402]

This song did not for many years but then one day I just started to understand the lyrics (and I got older) then it hit me and now I tear up as well.

[@kirstenc9007]

This song always reminded me of my dad because his hand was always the only strong one I ever had to hold. I emailed this song to him a few months before he passed away from lung cancer. He knew at the time I sent this, but didn't want to break my heart, he messaged me back that the words meant so much to him, and told me how much he loved me. When he passed I was there with him when he took his last breath, and this song was playing over and over in my head.💖

[@travisboggs6683]

By far one of the best songs. When you going to love you as much as I do. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Tori!

[@thefrontpage]

One of the most beautiful songs-- written and sung by one of the most beautiful women. Just a beautiful, haunting, emotional classic song.

[@erichuxel5408]

The most under rated and most under played artist of the 1990s

[@ronaldjesser7227]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful.. It's one of my all time favorites

[@MrHumanracin]

The emotion in Tori’s voice on this song still makes the hairs on my arms stand on end... this moves my soul.

[@michaelmagee2503]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
