Tori Amos - Winter, Live At Montreux (91/92):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWmETxWM0h0
"These two concerts from Montreux in 1991 and 1992 catch Tori Amos right at the start of her solo career. The first from July 1991 was filmed a few months before the release of her "Little Earthquakes" album and the second from July 1992 followed a few months after. There is a fascinating progression from one year to the next as she grows in confidence and skill as a live performer, buoyed by the critical and commercial success of the album. Naturally most of the songs are taken from "Little Earthquakes" but there are also rare songs from her various EPs released across the two years which didn't make it onto the album including her distinctive takes on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and "Thank You" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". "
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
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
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
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 the myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin
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
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
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 have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change
My dear |

The release date mentioned for this album is a little off. It should be 1992.

Listening to music intently for over 40 years and this is my all-time favorite track by anybody, anywhere. Do you care? Probably not. But I do. And I appreciate RP for caring, too.

I'd forgotten that I actually liked Tori's music at one time; nice reminder.

Tori was the first artist I listened to that seriously freaked out my parents.  |

My thoughts exactly. The comparison must drive Tori Amos fans a little nuts, but all I can hear is Kate (sorry!) |

If aliens come to earth and asking: "What is music?". I would play this song to define it.

What if she just ate your food and watched your TV and sang loudly when you were trying to concentrate and talked on your phone and played your video games and broke your favorite coffee mug.

I would love it if Tori did all those things. I can't get enough of her either! Bill you totally cracked me up reading this just now  |

Wow. Tori at her best.
Can't believe it was 17 years ago that I sat down at the piano and first pecked this out.
Thank you for this album, Tori.

We've got lots of snow back here in the East ...
This father of two and grandfather of four always has to stop what he's doing when this plays on RP or on the iPod shuffle ...

This song. This album. This artist. Beautiful, simply beautiful. To not like this song is to deny passionate expression and the true beauty of sadness.
