A Lil Music Video for Monday

A new thing? Maybe.

Are you watching Yellowjackets? If so, this song may be familiar. It’s one of those close-to-my-heart songs. I remember listening to Under the Pink (by Tori Amos) on repeat for basically my entire adolescence, but it wasn’t until my thirties that I found myself gravitating towards the quieter songs on the album, like “Bells for Her.”

I also remember a camp counselor telling me that Little Earthquakes was a better album. Maybe it is. Either way, there’s something incredibly vibrant about Tori’s earliest albums. She was doing something very, very special and incredibly feminine at a time when that kind of ultra-femininity and dangerous softness was sidelined in a big way.

Here’s the video for “Bells for Her.”
