That is especially true here! I always thought the LZ original was good. Passionate but kind of snuffed ya know? But Tori from the first notes on the piano, the chills immediate start up and down my back, preparing me for the emotional impact that is finally delivered on this song, that its yearned for. I'd love to hear Robert Plant's opinion. it's tough to hear someone do better with your creation, but like Trent Reznor said about Johnny Cash''s raw, grab's you by your heart & soul with every pained word, cover of Hurt.... Trent had his concerns going in that it was going to be a camp send up, but he said within 5 minutes of listening/watching the video he knew the song no longer belonged to him. same here with Tori's cover of Thank You and her cover of Angie by The Rolling Stones..... Pure Magic that I'm blessed that I have heard.
Covering Zeppelin intimidates even the very best. Tori grabbed this by the balls and made it her own. Fearless. Honestly one of the best covers ever. Ever.
my wedding song from 2004.....The most amazing cover of a Led Zeppelin song ever made. Tori is one of the most amazing musicians and emotional voices ever...
Holy Sh!t. This version of Thank You was our wedding song as well in 2001. We created CD we gave all our wedding guests and gave each other songs that we picked along with why and the lyrics printed out. While I had, Elton John's "The First Kiss", and R.E.M's "Be Mine", my crown jewel was this version of "Thank You" by Tori Amos. When we exchanged songs a couple weeks before the wedding we both agreed this was the song for the first dance and has been our song for the last 18 years.
When I miss my son, I play this song. It feels to me like the way a mother loves her child. He's 21 and moved away and I miss him soooooo much. I love this version....because it's Tori of course!
At 1:59... I just close my eyes and let it take me away. I've never heard anything quite like this. I like the original, but this,... this is just on another level.
I dedicated this song to my daddy at his funeral. Each of us kids chose a song to be played on the program and I chose this version of ‘ thank you’. Tori sang for me what my heart and soul wanted to say ,but could not , in only the way Tori’s energy and magic can 💕💕💕
Blessings to you and for the memory of your beloved Daddy @lindsaysalter4649 - Tori has always been wonderful, hasn't she? I adore her too, and even now that her star is faltering I continue to love her courage and strength and see Tash standing up for her Momma as a good Southern Girl's child should - Tori may be 60, but she's still my Personal Jesus! ❤

@@E.C.2 Well... 1 - We divorced the next year. 2 - He doesn't dance. 3 - I've never heard of an anniversary party! 4 - I have ZERO interest in every marrying again. But thanks. :)
"If the sun refused to shine.. I would still be loving you." Tells that true love doesn't always have sunshine days.. clouds and storms occur too. " Mountains crumble to the sea.. there would still be you and me." tells that love is unshakeable.. In real life, mountains don't crumble but it's a GREAT metaphor that love stands no matter what. Awesome song. Bravo, Tori.
@@ntartaris Saw her again in the State theatre in 1996 or 97. She was smoking hot back then. Not sure if she came again as her music changed. It became less compelling. Shit happens I guess. I'm sure she gained new fans.
@@ntartaris She was on ABC's 'Take 5' discussing her early musical inspirations, ... she complained that radio no longer plays her singles 'properly' but the interviewer Zan assured her that the ABC plays the songs completely - So maybe that will peak her desire to come downunder again?
+Griffin Mathers I don't think either of us said anything of the sort.. Don't be so paranoid. Would you feel better if we said we just now discovered this record that was released in 91?
I heard this song when i was a kid and loved it. It didnt mean that much to me back then. it was just a nice tune. I recently broke up with my gf and i miss her terribly. I didnt go out of my way to find this tune but youtube suggested it to me now listening to the song and understanding the lyrics has bought me to tears and means more to me now then ever before. I still love her..😢
This song has been parked in my mind for nearly 20 years now, with a very special place in my heart of something very important that i did a long time ago.
This is my favorite cover of any song I've ever heard In My entire life... thank you so humbly and kindly for this because I cannot find this version ANYWHERE ELSE ANYWHERE
This is the most beautiful cover! Always loved this version even more than the original. I think mostly because I have always connected with Tori's musical energy.
I must agree ! I am consumed with this version of the song ! Full of beauty and meaning...I find myself coming back often to find my quiet place and find sedation as it plays....
I love this song so much. Also the way she just makes up some random lyrics, the LZ lyric is “tears of loves lost in the days gone by”…. Tori’s? Literally some gibberish. She just always does Tori ❤️
I have been following her for decades. I brought her music with me when I was having trouble getting through my work days. Tori, you were with me when I was out recruiting for Niagara University, out in the Finger Lakes of NY. I was all alone out there - but I wasn't - you were there with me, and I thank you.
Still one of the most beautiful covers I hv ever heard..true I am a diehard Tori Amos fan ..this cemented it. If I am ever lucky enough, hope to hv this played at my wedding💒
If my sun refused to shine. I would still be loving you. If the stars 🌟 fell from the sky. I would shelter you. If you were falling into hell. I would follow you to retrieve you and bring you back to heaven where I’m certain you belong. Just like I’m certain. We belong! I’m still loving you. ♥️🌟♥️🌟
@bimguff Yes indeed! Back in the day my little brother loved Tori so I had to take a little listen here after watching Rick’s emotionally hilarious review! I love his introspection on stuff! Cheers!!
3 Hail Mary's for the conversion of Tori Amos. Maddie,Kelly,and Squeaky,if you read this,praying & have had Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for y'all. Love + miss y'all,please pray 3 Hail Mary's for me.
Covers aren't supposed to be a competition about which is better. She wasn't trying to "beat" Led Zeppelin or be better than them, it's a different version with her own interpretation in her own style. I know everyone loves meaningless rankings, but you can enjoy multiple things.
@@msp720 You sound a bit like you're preaching...lol...while assuming all kinds of weird and inaccurate assumptions. I didn't say or insinuate Ms. Amos was trying to 'beat' Led Zeppelin. What an odd thing to think and then say/preach. Who's ranking? It's a bit silly and even dysfunctional to state her cover is a different version and her own interpretation...duh...lol...come on, now. I simply stated and will again that I much prefer Led Zeppelin's original recording with Plant's voice and Page's and Jones' arrangement of the song. In fact, what I didn't say as I was being nice is that I actually hated Amos' cover of the song and went and immediately played Led Zeppelin's which added to my enjoyment of their song. That okay with you?...in other words, relax. Seeing how you like to state the obvious and preach to people let me finish with it's okay 'not' to like someone's cover or version or interpretation of another's artist's song or work while continuing to love the original. Righto cheerio? Peace.
In my opinion this has nothing much to do with the original. Changed the song just in a R‘n‘B feel ballad, but does not reflect the majestic mixolydian and classic feeling of Page‘s and Jone‘s arrangement.
Then go away, she is friends (or at least friendly) with the guys, so I figure if they are cool with it, who the Heck is anyone else to criticize? I used to hate covers, but Tori's have always been just magical. And masterful. Go listen to her cover of Purple Rain, it'll have you cryin' like a baby.
They say covers cannot be better than the original, but this is the exception. Tori's voice and piano are perfection.
That is especially true here! I always thought the LZ original was good. Passionate but kind of snuffed ya know?

Agreed! This was our first dance song at my wedding. ❤
Both are extremely beautiful.
Up there with the Godfather part 2 concerning sequels & covers.
I love Tori dearly but i think it is tied with the Zeppelin one.
Nothing can compare with Zeppelin. Thank you !
Covering Zeppelin intimidates even the very best. Tori grabbed this by the balls and made it her own. Fearless. Honestly one of the best covers ever. Ever.
Seriously. Amen.
my wedding song from 2004.....The most amazing cover of a Led Zeppelin song ever made. Tori is one of the most amazing musicians and emotional voices ever...
How did you get it for your wedding?

OMG! This was our first dance song! 2003!! ❤️❤️
Thats boss af. ❤❤
dear lord. what an immense talent she is
She is a goddess. You should see her cover hyperballad live. It's amazing.
always has been! Always will be. Eternal.
Her version of this song is so hauntingly beautiful.
☝️And beautifully haunting
I usually hate covers....but then theres Tori......this is surely one of the most beautiful songs ever.
its 2020 I just turned 38 been listening to T for some 30 yrs now this seems to always hit home..
This blew me away when I first heard it years ago. Still does. It is, truly just about perfect.
When I miss my son, I play this song. It feels to me like the way a mother loves her child. He's 21 and moved away and I miss him soooooo much. I love this version....because it's Tori of course!

Fuckin Tori dude....damn. What a voice.
Still glorious in 2019! Wish they had this on Apple Music.
Oh yes! I keep looking for it there. It’s absolutely STUNNING!
So do I… Absolutely glorious!
There's a version on Spotify.
i had the Zeppelin version played at my wedding. Her version is so sweet, i'd be tempted to play it at my next wedding if i ever thought i'd have one.
Play at an anniversary party.
Both of you dance to the song.
@@E.C.2 Well...

first heard this in 1994 at her Aussie debut concert in Sydney. One of the most blissfully beautiful moments in my life.
You lucky bastard. I've never seen her live and regret it immensely. I hope there's still a chance to see her live here in Australia, one day!

I bought this EP in LA in 1991. Introduced me to Tori and she is forever the greatest!
+Catherine McCarthy same here. Been a huge Tori fan my whole life. She's still great, but she was amazing in the 90's/very early 00's.
It's so cute how people play the "I have been a fan the longest!". Used to be annoying, now just sort of, awww, good for you!
+Griffin Mathers I don't think either of us said anything of the sort.. Don't be so paranoid. Would you feel better if we said we just now discovered this record that was released in 91?
Sweet jam! Precious.
absolutely the best song ever....ever there is really nothing that tops this... all the other best songs come second.
I’ve always imagined this is the song the Moon sings to the Sun while he’s away.
Beautiful comment ❤
I have no words. Sublime.

moves me to tears... one of the best covers ever! Tori is a Goddess!
1991 sitting watching the trains hurtle past my flat and being alone and lonely only music to comfort my aching young mind
if the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you
This song has been parked in my mind for nearly 20 years now, with a very special place in my heart of something very important that i did a long time ago.
This comment is perfect.
Who's here in 2022
Shout out to my girl Stacey
I miss you with all my heart
This is my favorite cover of any song I've ever heard In My entire life... thank you so humbly and kindly for this because I cannot find this version ANYWHERE ELSE ANYWHERE
Brings tears to my eyes, this is so perfect.

first heard this in 1994 at her Aussie debut concert in Sydney. One of the most blissfully beautiful moments in my life.
David R I was at that concert too. absolutely magical.
I must say though that after Under The Pink her newer music didn't mean anything to me. Pity but happens sometimes.
ElleD73 .. most beautiful rendition ever. I love Tori Amos..
I must agree ! I am consumed with this version of the song ! Full of beauty and meaning...I find myself coming back often to find my quiet place and find sedation as it plays....
My wife and I used this song as our "first dance" at our marriage. :)
When I married we did the original...but I really wish we had done this one instead.
I love this song so much. Also the way she just makes up some random lyrics, the LZ lyric is “tears of loves lost in the days gone by”…. Tori’s? Literally some gibberish. She just always does Tori ❤️
Great tribute to a beautiful song of Led Zeppelin THANK YOU.
Wonderful voice and fabulous musical accompaniment with piano.
THANK YOU TORI AMOS
This is the first time I have heard this song. It’s just lovely. Have always loved Tori Amos. Will have to hear Led Zeppelin singing it now.
Saw her do this in the early 90s in ATL. It still moves me like few things.
Breathtaking and riveting at the same time. Seeing her live with just a piano was truly amazing.
That is soooo beautiful! I would love to have this with my wedding songs too.
Remember this song, finding it on little earthquake EP, 11th grade road trip. Total flashback
I have been following her for decades. I brought her music with me when I was having trouble getting through my work days. Tori, you were with me when I was out recruiting for Niagara University, out in the Finger Lakes of NY. I was all alone out there - but I wasn't - you were there with me, and I thank you.
Love this version-beautiful!
Right! She's amazing
Beautiful Zeppelin tune that she makes more beautiful 💖
Man Tori knows how to build a song to a climax
I love you Tori.....In a genuine way....What a beautiful woman (not a question)....
I love my god mum so much. such a great teacher and beautiful soul.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i love this ❤❤❤❤❤🎶🎵 pure perfection
Yes......
Amazing song...
am i allowed to cry? cuz i am. you are amazing.
Missing my 3 beautiful children. I love them so much😢
Still golden in 2018.
Tori of Amazingness Amos
Still one of the most beautiful covers I hv ever heard..true I am a diehard Tori Amos fan ..this cemented it. If I am ever lucky enough, hope to hv this played at my wedding💒
How this song and the entire (excellent) CRUCIFY Ep is unavailable to stream is a crime. Glad I havent given away my cd collection just yet.

I’m still loving you. ♥️🌟♥️🌟

Gracias......
1:48 - 2:30 = Pure eargasm
❤️ beautiful
The original barely registers to me, but this is incredible.
Really? I've never heard her before, so have nothing against her, but thought how disjointed it was compared with the sublime original
Nothing compares to the original!
Nothing!
I feel the same emotions in both . Smooth delivery and deliciousness all around! Cheers!
@@richardcabitto5108 you watched Beato too? :)

Two questions: on which CD was this number published? And when was this photo taken, TVAB era?
+ThroughTheCanopy This was on the Crucify E.P came out before Little Earthquakes, not sure about the pic...
the picture was taken during the Scarlet's Walk era.
R.I.P. Q. My love.
what album is this from
This studio version is on the Crucify EP.
By far, you a a hurricane! My god
Why did she change the lyrics?
I'd like to hear Kate Bush's version...
I love Tori.....but I hate she omitted the verse ..."and so today my world it smiles..."
Tori carries me. So sorry ravenbjq7.
Anita?..... still waiting for you
Anita?...are you there ?
She’s so good, but the original phrasing was perfect. She boils have short for more of an accurate recreation here.
Drew Lockwood? Remember?

No, sorry...no where near as good as Led Zeppelin doing this song which is one of my favorites by her. To each their own and all that.
