This is my husbands account, but I just have to say this... I began listening to Tori at the age of 10... my mother bought me the tape..(whatta badass mother) And even at 10I was totally entranced... so much so that years later my mother and i tore apart her piano, modified it with 2 different things... we put those floor protectors, like the kind u get to prevent scratching on ur floor,... and mounted them to the hammers of my piano to mimic the sound used in this song... worked excellent....
My sister introduced me to this album when I was just a child. I must have been in 4th or 5tj grade. She was very troubled. She jumped off a bridge to her death in March, and I'm pretty much ruined. This is the closest I think you can get to a visual representation of my sorrow.
Hey. I'm so sorry about your sister. My brother cut his throat in the nevada desert in 2007 and I still think about him every....fucking....day. We all tried to help him, too. A bear crushing hug to you.
Yr not ruined. Yr living. You have Your voice & Your life, it's enough!! Strength to you. I get yr pain, don't let it beat you, let it make you, your you & that is enough, that it perfect!! Ox
And through the life force and there goes her friend On her Nishiki it's out of time And through the portal they can make amends Hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what's on its way And through the walls they made their mudpies I've got your mind I said She said I've your voice I said you don't need my voice girl You have your own But you never thought it was enough of So they went years and years Like sisters blanket girls Always there through that and this There's nothing we cannot ever fix I said Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what's on its way Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls Brothers and lovers she and I were Now she seems to be sand under his shoes There's nothing I can do Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what's on its way And now I speak to you are you in there You have her face and her eyes But you are not her And we go at each other like blank ettes Who can't find their thread and their bare Can't stop loving Can't stop what is on its way And I see it coming And it's on its way
She said that she never fully learned how to play it exactly as she did on the recording which is why the recording is so unique. Her boyfriend/producer was playing with the sound of her piano, hence the muted, almost toy piano tones. She woke and improvised this piece as you hear it here. He just so happened to have hit record and this was captured. Lots of magick in this one.
Thank-You for making this beautiful video.. I just lost my dear longtime friend and Tori's lyrics with your video are perfect and so fitting for how I feel... I can't stop crying and this is my tribute to her.. Keep making videos.. you have a great eye and completely dead on..
I think Tori would love that visual - you did a great job of capturing the feeling of the song. ❤ How I think about this song has changed over the years. 'Now she seems to be sand under his shoes. There's nothing I can do.' It's a terrible thing to watch a girl you love sacrifice herself, her happiness, her sanity and almost her life to an unworthy man, and know there's nothing you can do but hope she gets out in time, and be there to help pick up the pieces if she does. I've experienced that from the perspective of the friend watching it unfold, and thank god, she did get out in the end. But I think about all those women who never do. The ghostly atmosphere of this song makes me wonder if their own spirits feel the same way - watching powerless as they become sand under some man's shoes. Imagine.
Give yourself a surprise and ~ STOP this Track at the beginning ~ headphones ~ full volume and klick "PLAY" ~ close your eyes and ~ simply ENJOY ~ her music ~ her special instrument ~ and especially: . Tori´s inimitable Style to integrate her inhalation into her awesome music . . . !!!
@lucybells0 Bells For Her is about Beenie, who was in an abusive relationship with a man at the time of Tori's writing UTP. Tori tried to get Beenie to see that, but that backfired and so they had a falling out. When you think about abusive relationships, you often see women sticking up for the abusive men. We can't recognise them. Hence "you have her face and her eyes, but you are not her."
Absolutely beautiful! I always pictured this song in the setting of a cold winter day as well!! I tip my hat to you for your choice of the seasonal settings. This song has a very personal and tragic meaning to me also(can't stop what's coming)... As we all will meet in the by and by, such a truly haunting tune to me today. You have a remarkable eye for your taste in perception meeting music. Beautifully done...
i haven't heard this in years. the last time i listened to it, i was in a similar, difficult situation regarding the unavoidable loss of a friend. hearing this again feels like i'm tearing open an old wound.
this song always reminds me of the book luzhin defense, of the sourness of growing up, departure. i cannot use any other word but "sad" to describe this. this is truly the meaning of the word, in the most genuine way. heartwarming
Hallo Beegirl, don't know If you remember praying for my daughter and me several years ago. And being still amazed by your Interpretation through your Video of this song. It's still the best I've ever seen.. Prayer kept me alivei. THANXXX
I haven't listened to this song in years and years, still beautiful, still devastating. When I originally heard it on the album Under the Pink, it brought me to tears, I think it's my favourite Tori track. I wish I liked this ladies music today as much as I did back then but I'm not in that place anymore, oh well...
sometimes you hear a song.and you think has the artist read my thoughts,because the song so touches you..and lives with you.this video along with Tori words..and many of our thoughts,although haunting does just that.
When I heard this song for the first time about 20 years ago, straight after purchasing the album its from - I literally started balling my eyes out, and like many of her fans I was a metal head (still am to a lesser extent, but I'm getting old so listen to this sort of music more) it moved me on such a deep level. Very few songs before or since have made me cry!
oh my, i shed a tear shen she did the hand clap thing with the cross while lying on the ground next to the grave....you just projected what would play in my head while i use to listen to this cd when i was younger...while i would try to sleep with my headphones on...yes, definatly enchanting stars for you*
very nice extremely i saw this real late at night and it gave me chills seriously something made me feel like it was idk how to explain it made me think about wicca how did u make it look tht way all old and sepia its real cool i really am loving this song now
I am not english native speaker, and of course I am not sure of the deeper meaning of the song, it seems has so many layers. But I think who cares!!! The point here is that I feel something touchable and emotional when I listen to this song, I like Tori Amos the way she sings herself in songs, thanks for your post :)
I shared last comment half way through the video and then you hooked me further with the patty cake at the grave. Invoked tears! Very well done Beegirl4life.
wicca! really thats so cool one of my friends decided she wanted be wiccan she decided that the moon and stars were her main gods it really is a beautiful vid i love it
I wish I could pick both "incredible" and "classic". I would send this to Tori, if you haven't already.This is what artists live for, for people to interpret a work of theirs for themselves, and I believe you have nailed the interpretation, both visually and "the vibe." I firmly believe Tori would be moved to tears by this. I agree with the previous posts that say this should be the official video. Congrats, and thank you for sharing your vision.Beautiful.
Your video is hauntingly intuitive to the song ~ bells means so much to me. There was a time when I couldn't understand, couldn't appreciate the sentiment behind it ..... but there was this girl, she hurt me very deeply. All I could do was listen to bells. And I was left with this one thought ~ maybe someone knows ~~ what's worse the death of a friendship or the death of a friend I always thought it was the latter until I till I lost the first..................................
Awesome interpretation of the song. The visuals,,,the music,,,just the feel of it all,,,emotionally ripping. Tori always evokes emotional power with her music,this video makes it a double whammy. Very good job.
I loved this song since the 90s and thanks to Yellowjackets a new generation gets to experience for the 1st time
super thankful yellowjackets showed me this masterpiece
I was shocked they used not one but two Tori songs so far. Music director has good taste in music
I discovered this music when I was watching yellowjackets, and I feel in love with it straight way
They used this song in season 2 episode 3 of Yellowjackets, loving how it works with that episode
This was shot in my hometown up in the mountains after it snowed. the dress is my mothers old prom dress.
I didn’t realize this was fan-made (video) you did a really good job imo
I mean I actually saw this posted elsewhere on UA-cam and watched the whole thing and didn’t realize it wasn’t the official video
Wow. Truly astonishing !
Outstanding video!
How cool 😊❤
Tori Amos is poetry. I’m glad her music is part of the Yellowjacket’s soundtrack. This generation gets to appreciate her magic.
This is my husbands account, but I just have to say this... I began listening to Tori at the age of 10... my mother bought me the tape..(whatta badass mother)
And even at 10I was totally entranced... so much so that years later my mother and i tore apart her piano, modified it with 2 different things... we put those floor protectors, like the kind u get to prevent scratching on ur floor,... and mounted them to the hammers of my piano to mimic the sound used in this song... worked excellent....
mike miller lovely story thank You for sharing
She saved my soul from suicide. I'm eternally grateful.
Yellowjackets❤❤
I've loved this song and THIS video for years, she nails the spirit of it. She understands.
Prepared instruments for life.
Thank you Tori Amos for the most beautiful song in the whole world ❤️
So prophetic, truly Tori.
Always been ahead of her time.
Wise well beyond her years.
Thank You Tori Amos.

😢I’m so sorry
This is heartbreaking

Ok, this is the best music video I've ever seen.
"Now she seems to be sand under his shoes... there's nothing I can do..."
This is haunting and so lovely!
Very haunting.
Love it, captures how I feel over the loss of a friend
And through the life force and there goes her friend
On her Nishiki it's out of time
And through the portal they can make amends
Hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its way
And through the walls they made their mudpies
I've got your mind I said
She said I've your voice
I said you don't need my voice girl
You have your own
But you never thought it was enough of
So they went years and years
Like sisters blanket girls
Always there through that and this
There's nothing we cannot ever fix I said
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its way
Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
Brothers and lovers she and I were
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
There's nothing I can do
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its way
And now I speak to you are you in there
You have her face and her eyes
But you are not her
And we go at each other like blank ettes
Who can't find their thread and their bare
Can't stop loving
Can't stop what is on its way
And I see it coming
And it's on its way
What a woman... What a talent❤
THAT´s the BEST version of Tori´s "Bells For Her" i´ve ever heard !
it´s the original
She said that she never fully learned how to play it exactly as she did on the recording which is why the recording is so unique. Her boyfriend/producer was playing with the sound of her piano, hence the muted, almost toy piano tones. She woke and improvised this piece as you hear it here.

@@JonathanEdwardsCompterThe1st oh wow, I never knew that! Thanks for sharing!
This has captures how I felt over the loss of my identical twin sister for years. Thank you ♥
