Watch: Tori Amos sees something you can't in 'Carry' clip
Check out the cinematic first video from 'Night of Hunters'
Tori Amos
Tori Amos’s “Night of Hunters” has just spawned its first video: today, the singer released “Carry,” the clip for the opening single from the Deutsche Grammophone set out Sept. 20.
The album features Amos, who sounds her most Kate Bush-like here, drawing from such composers as Chopin and Granados to tell a modern love story.

The wistful song is a lovely tune about how people never really leave us and how we never forget them. The appropriately haunting clip, which combines performance with gorgeous landscapes and graveyards, is a little strange in that as Amos plays the piano, she looks to her right as if she’s singing to someone. It’s not to us viewers because she’s looking off camera much of the time. Maybe she’s singing to one of the spirits she’s singing about. I learned a very long time ago that trying to figure out Amos is a fruitless pursuit, and that it’s best to just enjoy her. Does anyone know if it’s her daughter in the video?
By the way, if you share the video to your Facebook page, it will unlock another track from the album, "Shattering Sea."
As we previously reported, Amos starts a U.S. tour in Atlanta on Nov. 29.

Also, yes, Tash is dancing around the fire as Tori watches on. It's also Tash on the swing, sporting make-up and a wig, in character ;)

August 19, 2011 at 7:51AM EST Reply to CommentWhy do people always compare Tori to Kate Bush? They're both very talented musicians, true, but completely different in their approach, content, and vocal style.

August 20, 2011 at 8:20PM EST Reply to CommentFiguring Tori out is part of the allure. What people misinterpret as strange is that she's telling you something, part of a story. It's not cookie cutter music, it's poetry. You can't just grab an album and expect to understand it without researching it a bit. Then the whole album tells a story with many different stops along the journey. I.e. Once you realize From the Choirgirl Hotel is about losing and coping with the loss of a baby, the lyrics start to make sense. It's intellectual and cerebral=)
