I fell in love with Neko Case as an adult, but there is, in my heart, only one redhead with a world-filling voice who owns me in my most visceral teenage places.
youarenottoriamos, who goes by YANTA on YouTube, has performed a service so great I can't even tell you. This is why I kept up piano lessons for long. If only I'd had these transcriptions and videos then!
Anyway, the long and short of it is that she's recorded piano instrumentals of
most of Tori's albums, including all the albums through Scarlet's Walk that I deeply care about. I'm in raptures. The playing is beautiful. I could cry.
This came about because I realized just prior to discovering this in the "space dog" Tumblr tag (a really emotional place, actually, if you're me!) that I pretty desperately need a Bucky/Natasha Winter Widow vid set to, yes,
"Space Dog," because reasons. (IT WOULD BE MAGNIFICENT!)
Well, three things make a post, so,
space dogs and
space dog merch, because, well. Capitalism.
ETA: Holy shit, I'm listening to
this "Bells for Her" every night for the rest of my life.
