"Stickers licked on lunchboxes, worshipping David Cassidy". This line gets me now, since his death in 2017. Our innocence and the good old days before we knew adult tough choices and grief. When we thought we were immortal and loving Summer and our teen crushes ❤❤
The older I get, the more I relate to this poignant video. The song has been a bestie of mine since I was 15 (10 yrs ago!). The ending, older Tori comforting her skeptcal young Tori, as if she wants to go back & show her that it will all find its way in time, is magical & heart waming
This song has always made me cry my eyes out at different points in time of my life for different reasons. It's Always investing how the meaning of this song and how I relate to it changes as I get older and my life changes and my world view changes which is sort of meta because that's kinda what the song is about.
I have thiis CD single. I could never get the Video to play. I never thought to search UA-cam for it, and here it is. What a wonderful wonderful discovery!
Painful lyric: "You're only popular with Anorexia, so I turn myself inside out in hope someone will see." Ms. Amos had come out about having an eating disorder in her past.
These words were like a punch in the gut to me. I’m currently battling severe anorexia, and I hadn’t heard this song for years and then BAM. It was like Tori was speaking straight to me. I always loved this song, but now it means even more.
funny thing...i've listened to this whole cd, and i love it, but i always skip this song because i don't like the intro when she sings "jackie yeah" a few times. i find the tone quite annoying. but now that i've listened to the whole thing past the first few bars, i love it. you go Tori!
this song was inspired by Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Tori said… ”I saw Jackie as a bride - and I used to think I would never be a bride. I started to look to Jackie and how that woman held the country together after she watched her husband get cut down right in front of her." Tori was born in Aug1963 JFK was assassinated in Nov1963 (when Tori was 4 month-old) she grew up in the 60s & 70s her childhood - 60’s her teen age - 70’s David Cassidy of the 70’s the feminism in the song Jackie Kennedy used to mentioned the WHITE HOUSE as “Camelot” (in the lyrics) love, sex, and lie if you love enough, you’ll lie a lot the extra marital sex and relationship of JFK and many other girls (one of them was Marilyn Monroe) you're only popular with anorexia SO TRAGIC SO SAD SO TOUCHING I’m a Thai fan of Tori Amos
And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie's And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie A Bouvier till her wedding day Shots rang out, the police came Mama laid me on the front lawn And prayed for Jackie's strength Feeling old by 21 Never thought my day would come My bridesmaids getting laid I pray for Jackie's strength Make me laugh, say you know What you want, you said we were the real thing So I show you some more And I learn what black magic can do Make me laugh, say you know You can turn me into the real thing So I show you some more And I learn Stickers licked on lunch boxes Worshiping David Cassidy Yeah, I mooned him once on Donna's box She's still in recovery Sleepovers, Beene's got some pot You're only popular with anorexia So I turn myself inside out In hope someone will see, will see Make me laugh, say you know What you want, you said we were real thing So I show you some more And I learn what black magic can do Make me laugh, say you know You can turn me into the real thing So I show you some more And I learn And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie's strength And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie, yeah I got lost on my wedding day Typical, the police came Oh, but virgins always get backstage No matter what they've got to say If you love enough, you'll lie a lot Guess they did in Camelot Mama's waiting on my front lawn I pray, I pray, I said, "I pray for Jackie's strength, strength" Make me laugh, say you know What you want, you said we were the real thing So I show you some more And I learn And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie's strength And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie, yeah
@niemamskarpet Jackie O. I guess cuz Tori grew up in the era when everyone looked up to Jackie following her husbands murder, in front of her no less, perhaps she felt like women like her Mom looked to her for strength.
Some of these references only refer to my generation - Tori is the same age as my sister - David Cassidy, all that stuff was ours, but the main point that Tori wanted to make was that Jackie had no other choice but to be strong when her husband was shot through the head right in front of her - had to be strong again while someone else was made president while she still had the blood of her husband on her dress.
the caretaker/sister also now mental health avocate, is the strength she'd be looking for but you almost missed it because she didn't help her brother escape. If she is to me what she is to him.
Tori Amos found happiness she married and had her baby she's not consumed in her art anymore, in the words of Madonna "The face of you my substitute for love" when you are unhappy you as an artist you cone up with your best stuff because you literally pour your heart and soul into it without any diluters.
I would add that she's just got older. And the older people get the less they become capable to make true art... There are exceptions though. Like Kate Bush.
Her new stuff is still beautiful and poetic but there is definitely evolution and perspective changes as she ages. Which is good. I'm aging right along with her and I find that she is still making important music to fit the soundtrack of my life.
I thought I saw my ex's mom the other day and today I thought I saw him ! I'm either friends with an ex or I'm not. I quick ducked down behind a banana end cap.

"If you love enough, you'll lie a lot..." Wow, that hits to the core.
My god 😢

It makes me cry everytime I see it.

One of the prettiest song ever written
After 11 years this song still brings me to tears
24 years
Same to me.
Yep.
Господи, дай Тори сил! Дай нам всем сил в мире грязи, боли и вранья!
Обожаю ее! Гений! ❤✌🌺
I have thiis CD single. I could never get the Video to play. I never thought to search UA-cam for it, and here it is.
What a wonderful wonderful discovery!

TORI BLOWS MY MIND!!
This is the best video I have ever seen...
Hypnotic, mesmerising. I love it.
It’s difficult to find music this honest, this sincere, and this good, these days. 😕✨

Robert Fripp lives in Wiltshire I think?

Wow
One of my favorites!
Simply blissful, thank you Tori.

Gorgeous video, beautiful lyrics

Tori is definitely one of the few women who get more beautiful the older they get!!!!

No recent commentary? Wow....this is real music!
Beautiful song❤
Tori Amos Best of the best!!!

this song was inspired by Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy
Tori said… ”I saw Jackie as a bride - and I used to think I would never be a bride. I started to look to Jackie and how that woman held the country together after she watched her husband get cut down right in front of her."
Tori was born in Aug1963
JFK was assassinated in Nov1963 (when Tori was 4 month-old)
she grew up in the 60s & 70s
her childhood - 60’s
her teen age - 70’s
David Cassidy of the 70’s
the feminism in the song
Jackie Kennedy used to mentioned the WHITE HOUSE as “Camelot” (in the lyrics)
love, sex, and lie
if you love enough, you’ll lie a lot
the extra marital sex and relationship of JFK and many other girls (one of them was Marilyn Monroe)
you're only popular with anorexia
SO TRAGIC
SO SAD
SO TOUCHING
I’m a Thai fan of Tori Amos
Its great the way you analyze the meaning of the song 👍
Never thought of it that way before but wow. Especially Tori's quote, what a woman Jackie O was.
Her song adressed to all broken wives
Amazing ❤
отлично! хорошая песня!
Caught l light sneeze is awesome. Boys for Pele. Is wonderful . Love the whole xd
one of the most beautiful songs
I love you Tori Amos 😊
I love you, Tori
Doesn't get any better.
I can relate to the last part where the present goes back to the past as the present can't believe the transition compared to the past. lol
Kid at 0:22 - Huhuhuh you got any candy?
2:13 - Boom boom boom
3:24 - C'mon ya little bastard, push faster! I'm gonna be late for bingo!
I think that Jackie was a cold elitist, but this song is a true masterpiece.
And Jackie and Jackie
And Jackie's
And Jackie and Jackie
And Jackie
A Bouvier till her wedding day
Shots rang out, the police came
Mama laid me on the front lawn
And prayed for Jackie's strength
Feeling old by 21
Never thought my day would come
My bridesmaids getting laid
I pray for Jackie's strength
Make me laugh, say you know
What you want, you said we were the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn what black magic can do
Make me laugh, say you know
You can turn me into the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn
Stickers licked on lunch boxes
Worshiping David Cassidy
Yeah, I mooned him once on Donna's box
She's still in recovery
Sleepovers, Beene's got some pot
You're only popular with anorexia
So I turn myself inside out
In hope someone will see, will see
Make me laugh, say you know
What you want, you said we were real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn what black magic can do
Make me laugh, say you know
You can turn me into the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn
And Jackie and Jackie
And Jackie's strength
And Jackie and Jackie
And Jackie, yeah
I got lost on my wedding day
Typical, the police came
Oh, but virgins always get backstage
No matter what they've got to say
If you love enough, you'll lie a lot
Guess they did in Camelot
Mama's waiting on my front lawn
I pray, I pray, I said, "I pray for Jackie's strength, strength"
Make me laugh, say you know
What you want, you said we were the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn
And Jackie and Jackie
And Jackie's strength
And Jackie and Jackie
And Jackie, yeah
God.

Jacquline Kennedy Onansis' birthday was the 28th.

Es el vídeo oficial?
Por que no está en el canal de Tori? 😔
Most dramatic drive around the block ever.
I couldn't understand most of words tori or bjork were saying in the 90's ?
You're not alone!!
me neither, even when I am a native spanish speaker and I was 17
there is at least one tori amos video without a filter that's been up for a year and a half, maybe it's possible to try
A sway towards a Dolly Parton sound which would make the year ???
Haha, no I don't. Nor do you. I discussed the vid with Tori & she told me its whatever we want it to be. Thats MY relationship with the song.
@moroney1 its to bypass filters.
the audio is all kinds of f*ed up!
the caretaker/sister also now mental health avocate, is the strength she'd be looking for but you almost missed it because she didn't help her brother escape. If she is to me what she is to him.
@niemamskarpet Jackie Kennedy
Why doesn't she write like this anymore?
Ikr this is the prime tori amos. Best version of her.
Tori Amos found happiness she married and had her baby she's not consumed in her art anymore, in the words of Madonna "The face of you my substitute for love" when you are unhappy you as an artist you cone up with your best stuff because you literally pour your heart and soul into it without any diluters.

Her new stuff is still beautiful and poetic but there is definitely evolution and perspective changes as she ages. Which is good. I'm aging right along with her and I find that she is still making important music to fit the soundtrack of my life.
Very few people can maintain a creative peak for longer than a few years. I'm sure she would love to write like this still.
I thought I saw my ex's mom the other day and today I thought I saw him ! I'm either friends with an ex or I'm not. I quick ducked down behind a banana end cap.
The sound is fucked up. Like it's playing at 1.5 speed.
I tought only lana del rey do songs about Jackie, Tori came way before.
Been's got some pot, lol
The groom looks like Eric. Ha!
Lol you got that right.
You can turn me into the real thing...
oh Im sure she'd be flattered :/
There's something about this song I've never liked. I love the video though!
😢😢😢 😭hi😐
Why is it sped up? Yikes
LOL!
You don't want to know what I think.
Correct.
So I turned myself inside out…in hopes someone will see.
Jeez... now that is a bit extreme.
This song is dedicated to Jackie Evancho.
P
This isn't the real song
looks like President Trump driving that convertible
...a scrached beauty in a subtle kind of way ... but is it Tori or is it Jackie ? ... or maybe even both ?
