Tori Amos is easily my favorite artist in the past decade. Her music takes me to another plane of reality. I found her music extremely comforting to listen to when I was in my darkest moods. "To Venus and Back" was my first Tori Amos album I bought. "Little Earthquakes" came second. One of my favorite songs on the album was the sparse ballad "Winter". It is amazing that "Winter" is ten years old yet it sounds amazingly fresh and holds up well against the trends in music. I bought the single "Winter" one day when I was on a Tori rampage and bought a slew of her singles. What I really appreciate about Tori Amos is that she includes b-sides tracks that you don't find on her albums. Now singles have gone the way of cassette tapes and eight-track tapes (can't say I miss them). On the single for "Winter", there are four b-side tracks. I have heard most of them live when I saw Tori come through Minneapolis in the past three years. The songs are absolutely amazing. "The Pool" is one of those songs that literally sends chills running down your spine. Very haunting and lovely to listen to. Very Delerium-esque almost. I would love to see Tori perform the song live. The production value is excellent with every song. "Take to the Sky" is excellent especially if you have seen Tori perform it live. Same with "Upside Down". "Sweet Dreams" is a quite good. I have yet to see Tori perform the song live. I hope I don't have to wait very long for Tori to hit the road again. She is an incredible performer.

This is one of my favroite Tori Amos singles. It has both beautiful and upbeat b sides and a title track that's astoundingly good. "Winter" is known to anyone who has heard it is a beautiful song with great strings and piano arrangment, plus Tori's beautiful vocals. "The Pool" is mostly instrumental and has a bit of a creepy feel to it, but is still a very enjoyable song."Take to the Sky" is an upbeat,quirky song that could have easily fit on the album. "Sweet Dream" with it's odd beat and strange lyrics is also an album worthy track. "Upside Down" is a beautiful song with a bit of a similar theme as "Silent All These Years". Overall a great single.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Tori single!, Dec 30 2003

My all time favorite song is "Winter," so of course I had to own this single! But it's far from being the only good song on this potent little CD. Some of her best b-sides ever are present. "The Pool" is a haunting masterpiece that sounds a bit like a religious chant, although the lyrics speak therwise! "Take to the Sky" is quite possibly my favorite b-side of all time; it's both moving and catchy. The transition from "The Pool" to it is rather jarring. "Sweet Dreams" is a b-side now recieving attention because of its inclusion in Tori's Greatest Hits album, "Tales of a Librarian." It's supposed to be a political commentary, but to tell you the truth, I don't really see that.The disc finishes off with the fan favorite "Upside Down," and leaves you very satisfied. Needless to say it's a must for all Tori fans, but if you simply love music you must own this CD!
