"Hey Jupiter" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos. It was released as the fourth single from her third studio album, Boys for Pele (1996), and was her first extended play (EP) since Crucify in 1992. The US EP Hey Jupiter features a re-recorded version of "Hey Jupiter" followed by four live tracks recorded during her Dew Drop Inn Tour of 1996. The song is also featured on the double A-side CD singles released in the UK and Australia. Live versions can be found on the US "Bliss" single in 1999, the London show of her The Original Bootlegs series (2005), and the 27 shows part of the Legs and Boots series, released over 2007 and 2008. The music video is on the collection Fade to Red and was released in 2006. The Dakota version The version released on all but the UK 12-inch vinyl single, entitled "Hey Jupiter (The Dakota Version)", differs substantially from the version that appears on Boys for Pele in that it is a full re-recording rather than a remix. While the studio album version is largely a piano solo track, the Dakota version adds many more layers including bass, guitars, and a rhythm track taken from the earlier B-side track "Sugar" (though slowed down). Lyrically, new bridges and an extended coda are added, making the song even longer despite the fact that the third verse from the album version is omitted. The Dakota version also emphasises the song's chordal similarity to Prince's classic power ballad "Purple Rain," which also features an extended instrumental coda. The UK 12-inch vinyl single version also differs from the Boys for Pele version in that it contains a radio edit of the Dakota version. The Dakota version has been performed on each of Amos' tours since the Dew Drop Inn Tour (1996). Traditionally, Amos performs the album version when on solo piano, although the Dakota version was performed on the vast majority of nights of the American Doll Posse world tour. A remaster of the Dakota version is included on the anthology box set A Piano: The Collection. Critical reception Daina Darzin from Cash Box wrote, "With her Boys For Pele disc double platinum and counting, Tori Amos has firmly established herself in the pantheon of quirky, smart female vocalists right alongside Alanis Morissette. This is an atmospheric, edgy ballad, at once ethereal and dark, buoyed
