Music without spirituality doesn’t deserve its name. It’s the intention behind the music that counts. When you compose just for people who only have sales figures on their minds and theories about what people want to hear, then you’re lost. These people have no respect for music, and also no respect for themselves. They don’t know the power music can have. We musicians shouldn’t be afraid, we should remember why we’re on this earth, and make it clear to ourselves what responsibility we have, toward music, toward the people who listen, and toward ourselves. No one is going to take that responsibility away from us.

Last night in Oslo, Norway, Tori Amos performed a cover of the 1985 hit “Take on Me” by A-Ha (a band from Norway). The recording is from an iPhone (thanks to @frokva on twitter), but it’s still interesting to hear. This post will be updated when a better version surfaces. [mp3]

Tori Amos, “Star Whisperer” live on Radio 3, Poland (October 12, 2011). An amazing performance! [mp3]
lyrics:
Lost star whisperer
where
where
where have you gone?
Lost star whisperer
will your Cloud Riders come?
why
why have you locked up your sky?
Night Sky whisper me back to life
Night warns of an eastern threat
North calls reinforcements from the west
Lost all reason guarded by the wise
sing to life the Seven Lords of Time
Lost star whisperer
send for your Cloud Riders to come
why
why have you locked up your sky?
Night Sky whisper me back to life
then I heard you scream
from the other side of the mountain
I saw a “you” I didn’t want to see
I heard you scream
from the other side of the mountain
[musical break]
Then I heard you scream
from the other side of the mountain
you saw a “me” I didn’t want to see
I heard you scream
from the other side of the mountain
Lost star whisperer
where
where
where have you gone?
Forged of fire and song
you warn Hate shadows Love
why
why have you locked up your sky?
Night Sky whisper me back to life
This is an amazing solo version of “Sugar” by Tori Amos, live in Milan, Italy, on October 7, 2011. She’s finally working away from the 1998 version a little, and it’s always fun when Tori’s songs evolve.
this is a beautiful new version of “Purple People” by Tori Amos from her September 30, 2011, concert in St. Petersburg, Russia. ..the last few seconds are cut off, but it’s all still wonderful.
