I was at a red light on sherman way in Van Nuys, Ca in 1999 and I had this song on the Higher Learning soundtrack CD and it was blasting in my radio with the windows down and when I finally glanced over next to me their was a minivan with two hella fine Mexican girl’s in it looking over at me and two Black guy’s in the front seat’s and the passenger was leaning over and looking at me like, Bruh are you for real?? LMFAO😂🤣 I was so embarrassed and immediately turned the volume down and once the light finally turned green I punched it and got away and felt so stupid and dumb.😂🤣
I heard this in Higher Learning and I found it to be amazing. Really fit the mood of the scene it was played in. I think the movie is one EVERYONE NEEDS to watch. It's a real eye opener.
Came because of higher learning. That was the first movie I seen with my high school sweetheart as a first date. This was our song from the soundtrack. Every time I hear this song I think about her and the good times we had together. Last week she died. Miss you Nicole. I’ll never forget you. Xxoo
oddly? (weirdly??)I agree. totally. everyone flips their wig over Siren, and I've even got to see/hear her do that live in person too-- but I've always been partial to this and Merman (which I also caught live- at a secret time: the two solo songs she delivered nightly, serving as a break between the electric full band sets during her 98/99 plugged tour... though if I recall correctly, Merman was actually performed at MSG in NYC. A tasty sold out event that served up a savant at the peak of her magical creative and performance prowess, coincidentally my first ever tori show.) pardon my ramble. but just saying, does she ever perform this live? I love it and woild
again sorry about that. Just wanted to say I think I'd prefer to hear this live more than any other b-sides... I'm getting old though, watch me look up the tour history and I find that I actually saw a rendition of her playing at live at the Beacon Theater or something... since we ARE commenting on this track. let me also say I can never get enough of this track. a rarity for me that I've not only endured but enjoyed hearing this on repeat. literally on a loop. both ln my stereo. cd turntable... and on music match, napster, winamp... lol this takes me back. then my ipod video (the red U2 one) on my mac's iTunes and then finally here on CZcams. slideshows rub me the wrong way, but I cant get enough of that guitar tone on Steve's funky chords at the end I love when he gets all funkified like he was on tour with Bowie or something. Precious things, cornflake girl and even something from.venus and back comes to mind do you have any favorite caton memories ? when he used to play guitar with her practically every show and album from the start until 2000 I think? or am I wrong about that? I dont think it was until I 2007 with her bitch posse ,(what a tour that was too!!) that she finally appeared with a replacement guitarist (I realize her husband had been filling in for more than a minute on the recordings) I wonder what happened. dont we all love to imagine juicy gossip? amicable splits are most likely the norm but it's fun to fantasize about tantrums and firings. name-calling and public shaming innit?
Just📺watched “Higher Learning” and I swear the events and social topics are an exact📝depiction of what’s going on today in 2019 to a “T”! Almost scary how they got this right. On point.👌🏽 This movie should have gotten multiple nominations🏆🤷🏽♂️ #OverlookedGem💎
First heard this in 98 and there's not many songs that can beat this one still. Absolute classic. The emotion in her voice and that assault on our heartstrings via piano...Framed and dried.
This has long been one of my favorite songs. The piano and vocals keep sort of drifting up and down, from sounding serene to sounding like there's a bit of a storm drifting, the song really just looks like a butterfly flying in and out of a rainstorm. It's just perfect.
The oscars are crap ,they have a terrible judgement on acting,scores and music,is always Broadway styled songs,AC ballads,Cheesy Pop by Diane Warren,Disney,Hip Hop,back in the 70s it was actually wors,at leat in 90s and 00s they nominated a few Folk or Indie songs
I first heard this song on my 15th birthday, in Higher Learning...It set a somber tone for the day, but so beautiful and haunting.... did anyone else get the Sylvia Plath reference?
This song is about a woman's perceived place in the world. She doesn't like the fact that she's stuck in that world. She would rather fly and be free. The pretty garden is elsewhere with the other butterflies. And, despite the common notion, not all butterflies are female. Definitely in my top 10 of all time.
i watched higher learning for the first time the other day and i recognized tori. i came to find the full version of the song and i fell in love with it.
@SydMM im a man and i only really like dubstep and drum n bass music but when i watched the film n heard that melody i was like wow this is really good music. the film is awesome too - the way it portrays all the struggles and predjudices that some people in america have to deal with. 5* film
I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG, I USE TOO DANCE OFF THIS SONG WHEN I WAS AN EXOTIC DANCER I LOVE THIS SONG 💗💗💗👍👍, I WAS WATCHING HIGHER LEARNING TODAY R.I.HEAVEN JOHN SINGLETON 💙💙💙 GONE BUT NEVERRRRRR FORGOTTEN YAAAAASSSSSS 👼👼👼👼
been a Tori fan since Earthquakes... loved this tune from the moment i first heard it after acquiring the Higher Learning soundtrack (on cassette no less). great video you put together to go along with it, it's a shame it cuts off at the end though :/
This song is AMAZING I LOOOVE TORI AMOS IVE BEEN A HUGE FAN FOR YEARS SAW HER IN CONCERT IN THE 90S AMAAZING SHE IS A INCREDIBLE ARTIST AND I ALSO HAVE. HER BIO AND LOTS OF HER ALBUMS AWESOME SINGER I LOVE ENYTHING BY HER HER MUSIC IS ICRERDIBLE.

I LOVE ALL. YOURE MUSIC LOL NOT JUST THAT AWESOME SONG YOU ARE. A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. KEEP ROCKING. MANDY A FAN FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURES PEACE LOVE AND MUCH. HAPPINESS. 😉😀🌼🌹🌏😘😀😊
This song is beautiful for ever!! This is real talent. For anyone who doesn't know she is playing this piano while singing in this song and the style is uniquely and naturally her own, born on the same day as Tori Amos. This song is beautifully featured in an amazing movie called 'Higher Learning' ,released in 1995. If you're bored right now, please watch this movie directed/created by John Singleton.
This is one of the last of the real tori songs that I think of as like the Tori that people really loved and bonded with because something weird happened during the stuff she did with boys for Pele and there's still a few songs on there where she's the same Tori but she became so big then and I would never deny somebody their success and it's not like she was ever a mainstream artist exactly but she became a kind of reference point for people who didn't really know her stuff or her Persona or anything about really her even though she did some things after that that we're her essence and kind of got messed up writing style changing the marketing of her and I don't think any artist should be a one-trick pony I don't fault her for evolving Her Style but I think there was a lot of pressure because suddenly she was famous enough yet the personal nature of work made followers come off like they were a little too intense and the media played with that. I was in the same industry playing the same instrument and doing a singer-songwriter piano confessional Style where we my first record came out in 91. It got compared 2 Suzanne Vega who was my only female influence sorry for the long comment and Joni Mitchell who I hadn't heard until they heard that comparison and the Cure and then later stuff I did was being compared to Tori I actually met her at a job I had alternative station radio station where I was the morning show astrologer and we just had crucify in our rotation I had no idea she was a piano player to I thought that was awesome but I was there to do her natal chart in her reading under the pink was about to be released I got a promo copy she did a performance on-air of two songs and I was totally like blow away. There is not a Time on radio where anyone was doing anything like that even what I was doing was not having in the states I was selling my stuff overseas more than here so I was just smitten with her stuff I loved under the pink I love that era of Tori although it would later become I really double edged sword because that was an influence of mine I was already doing what I do my stuff select different and some of her meet her fans made me so bitter not to her but this style of song reminds me of the Tori I loved and I did get Scarlets walk I love that and I hadn't heard this song Butterfly forever I'm so glad I heard it because it reminds me of what I loved about her work. So many years later I have a different attitude because I was going to a different label and even though I only sold like 50,000 and records people look at your score so to speak they look things on the internet come to your own conclusions I can't imagine what a pain in the ass it was on her skill to have people completely getting her wrong and painting her is some kind of flake or just misreading what she did and how she did it and who she was and it must have really liked affected things to for her is person for her as a songwriter because it's Human Nature you can't put that in the back of your mind someone told me never read reviews good or bad because the stick there and I wish I listen to that man time earlier I wonder if some of the things in her albums after a certain point affected similarly. I actually was psyched to read the Press previewing native invader and it was a good album I wish I'd seen the show but I had a lot of things that I had to be doing in a different city the cheat already played. the best Tori comes ashore in times of adversity and I think that's how she works through her s*** and she was happy without conflicts she had her daughter she's still happily married she didn't have a lot of things going on necessarily to write around and that's cool because she had enough challenges and we went through the winter in earlier work some of us grew up with her I can relate to her as a person not as musical influences native invader writing about menopause I had hysterectomy if you years ago I'm 43 but I cancer well I was reading the Press about her album coming out I was sitting in ICU with my mother I couldn't speak because she was intubated I had talks with my foster daughter who's a little older than Tosh tell him to get over yourself to some shows again and this song just made me feel like I was me again it's no divorces future ahead where I could be what I wanted to be when I grew up and not know what that was and kiss a beautiful girl know how fast of you honey and all that so I understand if you want to rip my ass to shred for writing this really long post and comment all I really meant to say with thank you for bringing back the reason I love this morning and her work sincerely pepper McGowan A Relic from the past and the glory of the 90s may it rest in chaos and estrogen
@TurboCMinusMinus lmao I have to wonder- are you referring to "insanity of Tori Fans" as in ... I fall in.THAT bin of loons or the OTHER lot who helped me to get to that level of nearly Amish when I just avoided the whole internet etc because it was a MUCH SMALLER WEB 20+ years ago LOL. I didn't own a computer! But the Tori Fans were all dann net savvy. Wow. I may have been a first wave cyberbully target. It was just like whoa... I'm a 21 year old girl from Cleveland and I didn't know we played the same instrument... Venting. Sorry. Long night of snowy Uber driving.
I just adore this song from her. It's a pity it isn't on Spotify... And for some reason, I would constantly hear "you can't stain their Prada shoes". 😅
25 years ago I was 18 years old and I was on Sherman Way Blvd in Van Nuys, Ca by Sepulveda blvd waiting at that red light to get in the 405 freeway and I was super high on chronic and lost in my world in this song and I was blasting it and when I finally looked next to me there was a mini van with a black guy looking at me like, N*gga are you serious cuh? His face was so funny the look LMFAO😂 I was like oops my bad and immediately turned it down.🤣
as someone mentioned before, it's from a movie sountrack, but if you want more music similar to this, look on "Under the Pink" and the associated B-Sides. "Little Earthquakes" is also similar in style and themes, and maaaybe, depending on your tastes, part of "Scarlet's walk" and "Night of Hunters.". I'd like to mention that the rest is also recomendably awesome, too, but veers into fairly different styles, like electronica or one record that has a harpsichord where you'd normally have a guitar.
The Moon looked so mysterious in the sky tonight! The clouds looked like fast moving mist that the light of the Moon shined right through them. Full Moon. I just felt like hearing this song right now. I dunno.
@MoonlitReigns yeah it only took me one time to hear this and say that it was my favorite amos song. but that sucks, ill probly just convert this video into an mp3. thankyou for your help
if you keep listening to it, you'll get it. thats normally how it goes sometimes you have to keep listening to it to understand, i get that way sometimes.
I've always assumed that was her earlier guitarist Steve Caton, sadly they haven't played together since 1999. His work on her album To Venus and Back is just gorgeous.

here because of higher learning 😂
Me too, this song fits perfect for higher learning ending scene, This a sad song
Lmfao ditto
Yup.
I was at a red light on sherman way in Van Nuys, Ca in 1999 and I had this song on the Higher Learning soundtrack CD and it was blasting in my radio with the windows down and when I finally glanced over next to me their was a minivan with two hella fine Mexican girl’s in it looking over at me and two Black guy’s in the front seat’s and the passenger was leaning over and looking at me like, Bruh are you for real?? LMFAO😂🤣 I was so embarrassed and immediately turned the volume down and once the light finally turned green I punched it and got away and felt so stupid and dumb.😂🤣
yup!
Most underrated song on the soundtrack.
I heard this in Higher Learning and I found it to be amazing. Really fit the mood of the scene it was played in. I think the movie is one EVERYONE NEEDS to watch. It's a real eye opener.
Higher Learning!! R.I.P. John Singleton. I love Tori Amos 😍. She is so underrated, and unappreciated. But we love her. We know true art.
Came because of higher learning. That was the first movie I seen with my high school sweetheart as a first date. This was our song from the soundtrack. Every time I hear this song I think about her and the good times we had together. Last week she died. Miss you Nicole. I’ll never forget you. Xxoo
Truly sorry for your lost my friend may god give u pace and happiness
So sorry to hear of her passing, even if it was 3 years ago, but thank you for sharing that snippet.
one of the BEST songs Tori has EVER recorded..Period. So much emotion..my God,my God...
8 years later but YUP
Yes
oddly? (weirdly??)I agree. totally. everyone flips their wig over Siren, and I've even got to see/hear her do that live in person too-- but I've always been partial to this and Merman (which I also caught live- at a secret time: the two solo songs she delivered nightly, serving as a break between the electric full band sets during her 98/99 plugged tour... though if I recall correctly, Merman was actually performed at MSG in NYC.

pardon my ramble.
but just saying, does she ever perform this live? I love it and woild
again sorry about that.
Just wanted to say I think I'd prefer to hear this live more than any other b-sides... I'm getting old though, watch me look up the tour history and I find that I actually saw a rendition of her playing at live at the Beacon Theater or something...
since we ARE commenting on this track. let me also say I can never get enough of this track. a rarity for me that I've not only endured but enjoyed hearing this on repeat. literally on a loop. both ln my stereo. cd turntable... and on music match, napster, winamp... lol this takes me back.
then my ipod video (the red U2 one) on my mac's iTunes and then finally here on CZcams.
slideshows rub me the wrong way, but I cant get enough of that guitar tone on Steve's funky chords at the end
I love when he gets all funkified like he was on tour with Bowie or something.
Precious things, cornflake girl and even something from.venus and back comes to mind
do you have any favorite caton memories
? when he used to play guitar with her practically every show and album from the start until 2000 I think? or am I wrong about that?
I dont think it was until I 2007 with her bitch posse ,(what a tour that was too!!) that she finally appeared with a replacement guitarist (I realize her husband had been filling in for more than a minute on the recordings)
I wonder what happened.
dont we all love to imagine juicy gossip? amicable splits are most likely the norm but it's fun to fantasize about tantrums and firings. name-calling and public shaming innit?
Glad to see Higher Learning fans finding out about this goddess even 20+ years later
underrated song.. beautiful.
Just📺watched “Higher Learning” and I swear the events and social topics are an exact📝depiction of what’s going on today in 2019 to a “T”! Almost scary how they got this right. On point.👌🏽 This movie should have gotten multiple nominations🏆🤷🏽♂️ #OverlookedGem💎
Exactly great movie they should remake it but people today would criticize it as racist when it's education
💯 true and now it's 2020 and this fits what's going on now 💯
Agreed. It was a powerful and underrated movie that is still relevant today. There are still parts of that movie that rip my heart out.
it's a shame how forgotten higher learning is in 90s movies, people always mention juice/boyz n the hood but higher learning was so much better
One of the prettiest I've ever heard....just beautiful.
When I hear this song, I think of just 6 words.
Higher Learning.
Kristy Swanson.
Jennifer Connelly.
Yes best part!!!!
The most underrated artist ever
First heard this in 98 and there's not many songs that can beat this one still. Absolute classic. The emotion in her voice and that assault on our heartstrings via piano...Framed and dried.
This has long been one of my favorite songs. The piano and vocals keep sort of drifting up and down, from sounding serene to sounding like there's a bit of a storm drifting, the song really just looks like a butterfly flying in and out of a rainstorm. It's just perfect.
Great movie great song. Tori is so wonderful as an artist. There is so much emotion in her voice, and the way she plays piano.
Get The Chills Every time. .
tori is so ignored in the music world. but she's amazing
latasha white she is really underestimated
latasha white *underrated
Not really. She was ranked in Rollling Stones top 30 female artists back in 90's - 2000's.
I think she had a time when she was more popular than she is now. She’s just not talked about as much as other artists
Crying my eyes out right now, Tori is perfect music for this, yes everything is JUST PERFECT! 👌
Why is this not on Spotify or Apple Music??? 😭😭😭😭
How did the Oscars miss this song or the movie as a whole?
A movie about blacks attending uni and racism in a movement abounds?? Ask yourself again...
The oscars are crap ,they have a terrible judgement on acting,scores and music,is always Broadway styled songs,AC ballads,Cheesy Pop by Diane Warren,Disney,Hip Hop,back in the 70s it was actually wors,at leat in 90s and 00s they nominated a few Folk or Indie songs
Because the movie exposes how white supremacy works
Because there asshloes
Remember when they played this song in Higher Learning? So beautiful
this song makes me sad.
Brutal.
That piano is so beautiful like man don’t think I’ve ever heard it be played like this.
Another great song by her. There are so many!
love this song, just heard it at the end of the movie "higher learning" and had to look it up
I first heard this song on my 15th birthday, in Higher Learning...It set a somber tone for the day, but so beautiful and haunting.... did anyone else get the Sylvia Plath reference?
No but please expand on the reference... I'm curious
@@annexgroup6878 The line, "Daddy dear, if I can kill one man why not two?" mirrors Plãth'ś poem "Daddy."
This song is about a woman's perceived place in the world. She doesn't like the fact that she's stuck in that world. She would rather fly and be free. The pretty garden is elsewhere with the other butterflies. And, despite the common notion, not all butterflies are female. Definitely in my top 10 of all time.
Here because of Tori. ❤️
Such a Beautiful song and the video is just Gorgeous!! Tori ROCKS!!
i watched higher learning for the first time the other day and i recognized tori. i came to find the full version of the song and i fell in love with it.
@SydMM im a man and i only really like dubstep and drum n bass music but when i watched the film n heard that melody i was like wow this is really good music. the film is awesome too - the way it portrays all the struggles and predjudices that some people in america have to deal with. 5* film
I feel you. The piano melody feels creepy but discrete and beautiful all at the same time.

One of the most beautiful sonnets to ever appear in a major motion picture. This scene is pure gold.
"They like you better framed and dry".
Do keep in mind that some don't.

@TurboCMinusMinus lmao I have to wonder- are you referring to "insanity of Tori Fans" as in ... I fall in.THAT bin of loons or the OTHER lot who helped me to get to that level of nearly Amish when I just avoided the whole internet etc because it was a MUCH SMALLER WEB 20+ years ago LOL. I didn't own a computer! But the Tori Fans were all dann net savvy. Wow. I may have been a first wave cyberbully target. It was just like whoa... I'm a 21 year old girl from Cleveland and I didn't know we played the same instrument... Venting. Sorry. Long night of snowy Uber driving.
This song was the soundtrack to the film higher learning to a lesbian theme scene lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"They like you better framed and dried..."
No, I believe it was played when she was getting raped by Billy
Not just any scene, one with two of the most attractive actresses ever lol
It was also played at the end when Malik and Kristen talked for the first time
great great great! i love this woman! toriiiii!!!
Tori ♥♥♥ my best girl xx
this is my favorite song..and it`s so rare that i find it on internet..ty:)
I really love this video!
perfect.
I just adore this song from her. It's a pity it isn't on Spotify...
And for some reason, I would constantly hear "you can't stain their Prada shoes". 😅
Tori Amos 💖💖💖
diva of 90s.

25 years ago I was 18 years old and I was on Sherman Way Blvd in Van Nuys, Ca by Sepulveda blvd waiting at that red light to get in the 405 freeway and I was super high on chronic and lost in my world in this song and I was blasting it and when I finally looked next to me there was a mini van with a black guy looking at me like, N*gga are you serious cuh? His face was so funny the look LMFAO😂 I was like oops my bad and immediately turned it down.🤣

Jennifer Connelly liked Kristy Swanson's pretty, pretty garden. 😍
as someone mentioned before, it's from a movie sountrack, but if you want more music similar to this, look on "Under the Pink" and the associated B-Sides. "Little Earthquakes" is also similar in style and themes, and maaaybe, depending on your tastes, part of "Scarlet's walk" and "Night of Hunters.". I'd like to mention that the rest is also recomendably awesome, too, but veers into fairly different styles, like electronica or one record that has a harpsichord where you'd normally have a guitar.

The Moon looked so mysterious in the sky tonight! The clouds looked like fast moving mist that the light of the Moon shined right through them. Full Moon. I just felt like hearing this song right now. I dunno.
@521f I only knew it from the Higher Learning soundtrack.

@o8MetalHead8o Higher Learning soundtrack is all i know it from - heard it over ten years ago....

@MoonlitReigns yeah it only took me one time to hear this and say that it was my favorite amos song. but that sucks, ill probly just convert this video into an mp3. thankyou for your help
if you keep listening to it, you'll get it. thats normally how it goes sometimes you have to keep listening to it to understand, i get that way sometimes.

This is the song I hear when I think about Delight's journey to becoming Delirium.

I've always assumed that was her earlier guitarist Steve Caton, sadly they haven't played together since 1999. His work on her album To Venus and Back is just gorgeous.
