TALULA was the second video shot from the album Boys For Pele, directed by Mark Kohr. The version of the song used for the video is actually the Tornado Mix featured on the Talula US single.
Shot in a deserted power plant, Talula was directed by Mark Kohr, known for his work with the likes of Primus, Green Day, and Alanis Morissette. Featuring a blowtorch wielding Tori along with a variety of other characters including tightrope walkers and laboratory assistants, the video's theme, according to Tori, is "the process of dehumanization."-- All These Years Biography
Boy in the Plastic Bubble has always been a cornerstone for me and Miss Karen. If we were freezing, imagine the Harpsie... Batter Sea Power Station in February -- yick. Talula the song had 2 major themes, power and value. Those in power can demand that we see and agree with them
by threatening us with a loss of some kind. Here in Talula my character is separated from her primal voice her bloodline, which is represented by the Harp. If you don't agree or follow
those in power, I do believe there will be rejoicing by your own inner child. Loss is a scary thing but what I found to be more scary would be to feel nothing over a loss. Similar to that sentiment
I would rather have loved and loss then to never have loved at all.

Talula was released in collectible form in the Tori Amos Video Compilation.
