From All These Years authorized biography on the video: The video for the albums first single, "Caught A Lite Sneeze," carried on the dreamlike, almost hallucinatory quality inherent in the albums artwork. Directed by Mike Liscombe, who was given full creative license from Tori, the video is rich, multi-layered, and, according to Liscombe, "open to many interpretations." He feels that it represents "a surreal journey" and "the process of finding inner peace with oneself." Tori says that Liscombe "wanted to take the video into a place that brings together the fight of the soul with the fight of the physical self." This concept manifests itself in recurring sequences of multiple Toris pushing, pulling, and being swept along with another Tori seated in a white armchair that is sliding back and forth along a leaf-strewn wooden floor. The field of vision twists and turns, rotating to show alternately the inside of the room and a vast expanse of water that ends in a waterfall. The cyclical nature of the song itself is perfectly suited to the rhythm of the video which Billboard magazine called "strange", "complicated", and "visually stunning". |

some notes on live performances: as far as I know, Tori never performed the Belle line live during the Dew Drop Inn Tour. She brought the line back during the Plugged Tour, however. Also, during the Dew Drop Inn tour (1996), Tori always performed a beautiful rendition that switched from piano to harpsichord just as in the album version. However, the 1996 live version is slowed down with Caton on guitar as accompaniment. The highlight of any live version from that tour is Tori switching from piano back to harpsichord while singing, "zone" the entire time without taking a breath. |
