Tori Amos - Sister Janet (harmonium)

Tori sings what might just be my favourite B-side: Sister Janet. The harmonium version from 1996 is a masterpiece, the harmonium transforms it, it's almost hymn-like and so beautiful. I read somewhere that a fan suggested to her at a meet&greet that she should play it this way, don't know if that's true but it's truly genius.

This song tends to get lost in the shuffle, but it is one of her finest in my opinion.

This looks like an organ not a harmonium

[@nothingbutmeat]

It's a harmonium.

[@thestormlscoming]

@@nothingbutmeat realizing europeans call a type of organ a harmonium. I associate harmonium with the Indian instrument that you pump with your hand

[@nothingbutmeat]

@@thestormlscoming Ah, that would explain it. 🙂 The Indian handpumped harmonium actually derives from the European footpumped version, I guess that's why they have the same name.
