WINTER was also directed by Cindy Palmano, as the third video from the album, Little Earthquakes
Winter, a song that reflects on Tori's childhood relationship with her father, is treated in a nostalgic light. The video is simple and stark, alternating between Tori dancing with a group of children and Tori dressed in white, in a white room, playing a white piano.
RDT: The scenes with the children are wonderful.
CP: She adores children. Children adore her. That's a really nice thing, actually. It's quite rare.
RDT: Did Tori have the bell-bottom look before, or did she come up with this for the video?
CP: It wasn't us, it was the stylist, Karen Binns, who was fantastic. That was her look. She and Tori went and made that look. I just fed colors that I was interested in. They made the look. I think it was just to do with the nostalgia, because "Winter" is about her father. It's a nostalgic song and certainly that's the way I interpreted it, so that it would look timeless. It does look a bit timeless, that video. It could have been shot at the same time as Sesame Street. It has a Sesame Street feel to me. It's very simple.

Without question, my favorite time of year. Strange for a girl who is always cold. There is something that draws me though, whether it's to catch me watching Torville & Dean walking down a road so bundled up I look like the Yetti or taste testing Daz's mulled wine. I've found myself out,
I'm a winter girl
