5.0 out of 5 stars Long Live Tori Ballads!, September 25, 1999

I don't understand what the controversy is all about. Tori has ballads on all of her albums, and should. It's what a complete, well-rounded artist does-create a complete repetoire. As individuals, we all have our preferences, and I prefer ballads. And Tori's ballads, like all of her music, are special. 1000 Oceans is a beautiful, stripped down ballad, where her voice is unmarred by techno gadgets. It's in the same genre as Tear in Your Hand, Baker, Baker, Hey Jupiter, and Northern Lad, which I'm amazed that any Tori fan can find Lad uninspired and unexciting. It gives me the chills everytime I hear it! To each his/her own!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Tori song, December 31, 1999

I first heard this song played live, on a french music station where Tori was giving an interview and performance. This song took my breath away. She has such a beautiful voice and ability to write stunning melodies. I can't say enough about Tori. Definately check this song out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better to get the maxi-single version than this one., January 17, 2005

This review is from: 1,000 Oceans (Audio CD)

"1000 oceans" was the second single off of Amos's fifth solo album, "to venus and back." Just as the second disc of the album is a live collection of mostly band songs, the "1000 oceans" single offers a further look into Amos's live solo performances, played during "secretime" of her 1998 concert tour. The offering here is a heart-breaking version of "Baker Baker" (performed here in Pennsylvania). But before you go and buy this single, you might want to reconsider. There were two versions of this single released: the regular single and maxi-single. This is the regular version, and it only has two tracks (the title track and one b-side), whereas the maxi-single has another bonus track not available on the album: a gorgeous live rendition of "Winter." Bottom line: for just a couple of bucks more, buy the maxi-single instead. You'll be much happier with your purchase.
