People complain that "The Beekeeper" is a boring or safe album, but I think it contains some of Tori's most beautiful and memorable melodies. This is a beautiful song on a beautiful album.

i just discovered this song not quite long and i cant get enough of it..

[Andy-mhsw]

Cannot believe this song is 15 years old. This is from one of her ‘newer’ albums for me. Man, I’m growing old..

[StephaniePrather-fi]

Her voice moves me like nothing else. I have been listening for over 20 years and she still makes my toes tingle.

The Beekeeper and Scarlet's Walk are my playlists this whole quarantine period. :)

I finally found this song after over a decade or so, maybe even close to 2 decades.. i dont really remember when I first heard this (on MTV, I think) but the melody (and the butterflies) has never left me. So when I heard it on the radio last week, I recorded it in my phone then used google to search for it. And now, I finally have the title and the artist. Wow, just wow! To finally encounter the song that I have searched for forever.. and I kid you not, this is the only song that I have searched for forever 🙂 I wonder what this means for me 🙂

I feel like I'm walking out of a cafe, scarf wrapped around my neck, with a warm coffee in hand in some windy, autumn kind of season. This song could totally fit on a show like Gilmore Girls or something like that.

My little girl would be 6 years old this month. I know she is playing with the butterflies everyday. I only got to kiss her goodbye. I love you skye.

I love Tori’s music so much, it heals my heart when I’ve sinned.

[DarcyMarieTCB]

My absolute favorite song ever by Tori. And my other favs are "Spark" & "A Sorta Fairytale." She is amazing!!!❤🎵

[kby]

She deserves more recognition. Such a unique song brimming with sentiment

[sashozimniy]

I heard it for the first time in 2023 and it's brilliant and super cool !!! Tori you are a genius and a beauty

[thugundeschain]

I don’t understand how this song is not viewed like million times. Brilliant song.

[crisantovillon]

known this song for a decade now and still no lady singer can create this kind of music. I'm a fan of metal music and I can't deny that I feel very mellow when I listen to this.

[jeremythompson]

She's pure magic... And this epitomizes her unique and immeasurable gifts. Saw her and Ben Folds double headlining live years ago... Phenomenal! This became my anthem years ago... Thank you, T.

[pinavinada]

I really love the lyrics, beautifully written.

[jobpernia]

So much bittersweet memories coming back whenever i hear this song... I miss my mom too 😔

[mibukochan]

Two of my favorite artists. Tori is a brilliant singer. And Aya Kato is an amazing painter. This music video opened me up to Ayas work and I must say I was blown away.

I used to work for souplantation in Brentwood CA near Santa Monica (2016-2020) And this song used to be played a lot. I liked the song cause its got that country and piano vibe to it. Plus Tori's beautiful voice sales it. Yeah This song definitely brings back song brings memories. Because before I used to work in the restaurant I never heard of the song. Now when i hear it i think of my 2nd family Because that's what all of us were, we were a family we weren't just workers or employees we were a family. and in some ways we still are. Even the customers were family And what's weird is that on Facebook I have a few friends that added me and my old crew because thats how well we all cared and connected .It's funny how once song can all of a sudden make you remember a time you had with your loved ones.

She is not very famous here in Indonesia, but I am fan of her. This title is one of her best and is on my mp3 list for so long.
