I've always been a loner in this world, but with Tori in my life throughout my teens and now in my 40's, I've never been lonely.

[darrenmiller]

One of her best songs. The woman is a musical genius. Excellent composer, writer, singer and keyboard and pianist. One of the greatest musicians to walk the earth. Tons of soul, empathic, dramatic, one of the greatest artists of all time. A queen in rock n roll.

[krisf]

Musical genius she is. The higher harmonies are haunting. I've always loved this one.

I was the online editor on this video, what a nice time we had, we edited it in one night!

[kennygrify]

It's just so criminal that Tori Amos is not in the Hall of Fame!

[dexthepurpleduck]

Her music has helped me through so much. My aunt committed suicide during my Senior year of high school. 2 years later, my grandfather also committed suicide and my uncle died of a brain tumor 2 months later. She was a better friend that anyone around me at the time.

This song was my life. I struggled with addiction, and while this wasn't my stopping point, this song held up a mirror on my self-destruction. Thank you Tori.

[elijahholt]

Man, some people not only reach their potential, they reach humanity's potential. Well done, Ms. Tori.

God that shot at 0:40 is so 1998. The way it zooms out like that. This whole video just takes me right back to my teenage years.

[robwyckoff]

My intro to Tori Amos. "Choirgirl" is the first Tori Amos album I heard. I went back, listened to, and fell in love with the others, but this is still THE ONE for me. And the gateway to a lot of other great artists I'd never considered before, like Bjork, Kate Bush, etc.

[robynstopped]

I remember listening to this song over and over again when I realized that my sisters were emotionally abusing me and not just my parents. That feeling of freedom because of knowledge but horror that it took so long to understand will never leave me.

I was a teenager when this song played for the first time on MTV. It was a premiere and it came on at an exact time. I was glued to the screen.

[gnarlycat]

One of the top 3 best Tori music videos ever

[bigdawg]

Saw her 3 times live in the 1990's....this song is still brilliant

[boomcar]

Now that music videos are kind of a thing of the past, this is one I will always remember.

[jezamoonspell]

I'm 44... and have been listening to Tori Amos for the longest in my early 20's... I've just gotten out of a long years relationship. And I'm alone again, but her music at least always soothes my heart and soul.

[liviathepoisoner]

Had my miscarriage this week. Both emotionally and physically the most painful thing in my whole life. I'm 37. It was 10 weeks old. My first baby. Don't know if I'll ever try again. Came here to hear "But she couldn't keep baby alive / I'm getting old". I know the pain will pass but still, I wanted to see the same experience. Hear the same story. I wanted to know that I'm not alone, I have sisters who have had the same experience. The pain in the song is meaningful now. It's so raw, you can cut it with a razor.

[musicboytom]

When my baby died, I listened to this song over and over.

[GalaxySpinz]

This will always be my favorite Tori video!

[ulthea]

Tori was one of my greatest musical influences in young adulthood. Been through so many good and rough times with her. I'm sure every fan can relate to the peace and strength that our musical heroes lend to us in our darkest moments :)
