Tori Amos - Yes, Anastasia - Live with the Metropole Orchestra

The - almost - full version played with a full orchestra!

[@MarilynRB]

In 1999, my best friend Jymm committed suicide. I ended up taking a road trip alone and recall vividly driving very late at night in the rain listening to this song, singing it loudly at the top of my lungs. It was cathartic. Her music brings me back to a place in time, a memory, a feeling… Thank you for the gift of healing and bringing me peace, Tori.

She is so beautiful. I was named after this song, I love it :)

[@ceIIardoor]

EDIT: Wow I didn't realize you wrote this ELEVEN YEARS AGO until now. Omg I LOVE the name Anastasia...because of this song!! What an amazing thing to be named after this exquisite tune

[@pagefire2]

She’s incredible. She’s a f’ing gift.

[@catherineatkinson6519]

First time seen this video one of her best songs

[@ivyember2623]

If I ever see this live, with a live orchestra, I'm prepared for my heart to explode and die happy. 🖤

[@aspiringrootwoman24]

That piano is as massive as this song. Reigniting my love for her music lately. This was always a favorite.

[@edinsonluhmann3038]

She looks like a goddess-witch character from a mythological show or movie, and I love it❤.😊 Anastasia is my favorite song.

[@datura1983]

[@Ilonah83]

When you know the story behind the song, it is even more beautiful!

[@souviendra]

this song has my heart when strings are involved! I really want to give it a try on cello

[@rudyhahn6017]

Discovered Tori back in "93" most talented musician I ever came across. She's like a fine wine, just keeps tasting better.♥️🎶

[@MarilynRB]

Ain’t that the truth

[@michaelmclaughlin6376]

My absolute favorite song of hers.

[@bethanyc5786]

Anastasia was brave. And so were many little girls. So goddamn many. And Tori said it out loud with an orchestra.

[@adrienneparks9791]

how can i find the actual story of Anastasia?

[@derekroberts6654]

Love her music for years since 1992. Love this performance, she looks like a little gelfling from afar but without the ears. So mystical! ❤️

[@hellsbells8182]

We'll see how brave you are, Yes Anastasia. We'll seeeeeEEEEEEE. Perfection!!!

[@pagefire2]

Nothing better. Gift from Heaven

[@abun7555]

I will always chase the dragon that is, Yes, Anastasia. This madness embodies my love for Tori.

[@rexel666]

Her music makes all the hairs on my arms stand on end.

That conductor looked like a child next to Tori. I am grateful for the post. Still awesome.

[@rebeccayarmoluk3570]

I know what you want the magpies have come If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use Make them go Make it go Saw her there in a restaurant Poppy don't go I know your mother is a good one But Poppy don't go I'll take you home Show me the things I've been missin' Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking Show me the ways to get back to the garden Show me the ways to get around the get around Show me the ways to button up Buttons that have forgotten they're buttons Well we can't have that Forgetting that Girls girls what have we done What have we done to ourselves, yes Driving on the vine Over clothes lines But officer I saw the sign Thought I'd been through this in 1919 Counting the tears of ten thousand men And gathered them all But my feet are slipping There's something we left on the window sill There's something we left yes We'll see how brave you are We'll see how fast you'll be running We'll see how brave you are Yes, Anastasia And all your dollies have friends Thought she deserved no less than she'd give Well happy birthday Her blood's on my hands It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress It's funny the things that you find in the rain The things that you find In the mall and in the date mines In the knots still in her hair On the bus I'm on my way down On my way down All the girls seem to be there We'll see how brave you are We'll see how fast you'll be running We'll see how brave you are We'll see We'll see how brave you are Oh yes, we'll see how fast you'll be running We'll see how brave you are Yes, Anastasia Come along now little darlin' Come along now with me Come along now little darlin' We'll see how brave you are

[@maxtalbotrules]

[@peleboy82]

This was in Amsterdam 2010

[@guidosarducci209]

That has to be incredibly difficult to perform emotionally. I don't think I'd be able to do it even if I had the skill.

[@Starlexis8]

Taught to dress each other and the men

[@Starlexis8]

Probably, what she heard playing Duke Mother's a good slave puppy What's been missing I don't speak
