Tori Amos Lyrics


IN the nineties, the piano has not received the respect it
deserves — at least from pop artists. But Tori Amos makes
the piano central to her overall presentation, both onstage
and in the studio. Over the course of many albums and two
EPs, she has established herself as both a critical and
commercial success. She's a fine singer, a terrific
pianist, a captivating performer, and an intriguing
songwriter who addresses relationships from a candid,
sometimes brutal perspective. What sets her apart from her
peer group of young female More...

Review about Tori Amos songs
question? | Reviewer: knowitall
    ------ About the song Siren performed by Tori Amos

I've been following Tori for a long time, and know well her biography. Yes, I think this song is very personal and has little to do with a soundtrack for the Great Expectations ( just fits the story in a very literal interpretation).
In my opinion it's about not being able to have a meaningful relationship with men although you are an attractive and "coquette" woman, not being able to have a baby (miscarriage).. not being able to face yourself and overcome your internal fears about love and commitment.
And most of all.. in slang VANILLA means a lesbian that has just came out.
Something to think about.. right? :))

Wisdom vs Youth | Reviewer: TheDreamKing
    ------ About the song Cooling performed by Tori Amos

This song is one of my favorites, and it took me 10+ years to get what it really is about, which is what it is about.

There are two distinct characters in this song. And the fact that Tori keeps changing the perspective of the two between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person makes it a little hard to follow, but in the end adds to the effect of the meaning.

There is an aging woman. Not an old woman, but one who is getting a little older who was somewhat of a harlot in her younger days, whom upon maturing, realized the errs of her ways, and holds many regrets.

She sees the younger girl, beautiful and pure, who is following the same path she took in her younger days. She wishes to show the young girl her own mistakes to save her from regret later. But there is also a streak of jealousy, in which 'Peggy' sees the young girl as she once was herself. She misses the fast life, but knows the dangers of it.

The 'Cooling' is stated as being the fire and passion cooling down and becoming a fluidity of regret and shame that overwhelms everything 'that pineapple tree', something that was once fruitful, but has since been flooded with remorse.

This is my take.

    ------ About the song A Case Of You performed by Tori Amos

Tori is my fav! Absolutely love the cover to "a case of you" I have an incredible version of wild horses from Tori. I dont know what show it is from but its live and her voice gets so scratchy at the end. AMAZING!

    ------ About the song Talula performed by Tori Amos

COMMENTS

The original version of Talula begins with different intro-lyrics:

congratulate you
said you had a double tongue
balancing cake and bread
say goodbye to a glitter girl

which was later replaced by the Tornado Mix intro-lyrics:

he's chasing tornados
i'm just waiting calmly
chasing her, hey

The Tornado Mix also ends with extra lyrics:

he's chasing tornados
and i'm just waiting calmly

"And it keeps moving into the dance of Talula, and her desperately trying to dance, desperately trying to figure out the whole idea of loss: it must be worth loosing if it's worth something. So if I feel like I am loosing something, at lease I valued something enough to loose it in the first place... it's going back into that train of thought. Talula is very much a riddle. The loss of Eric in my life was... it felt like half of me walked out the door. And Talula came as a nursery rhyme, my little dance that I would do when things were so sad. Because I started thinking 'but God, I have these feelings, which means...' we shared so many moments that I value, I really valued that, so what a gift that I can feel this loss, that I am not so numb, that I haven't cut myself off so much, and once I could feel the loss then I started to feel free. I want to dance and go 'yeah, I want to be with Talula. I want to be able to dance through the people that come in and go out of your life. I want to learn how to dance with the gifts when they come and the gifts when they need to take a different route.'"
-- Tori; B Side, 05/96

My Sugar | Reviewer: nancy
    ------ About the song Sugar performed by Tori Amos

Getting into a new relationship after many years. My new man brings me sugar in many ways. This has become my favorite song, full of emotion and love. It expresses how I feel about him. Tori, I love all your songs but this one runs deep for me. It's one of your best!

    ------ About the song Siren performed by Tori Amos

This is one of the numerous songs she wrote about her misscarriages. It was sweet (Vanilla) until she couldn't hold it, couldn't protect (like Demeters encounter with the sirens) till the day she lost it. Reach high... just means she has a cellular handy (she literally called for an ambulance, or so the song would have you think). To me the siren is many thing... the call of the emergency situation, the call put out after being hurt (Tori with the misscarriage, and the lead male with his heart being broken), and the siren (etherial being) that stole her unborn child. This was at a time in her life when she was writing in slightly more literal terms. I absolutely love love love this song and the lady who helped bring it into being.

Tori Amos' cover of this Joni Mitchell ROX | Reviewer: Cat
    ------ About the song A Case Of You performed by Tori Amos

This Joni Mitchell song is one of the most beautiful songs she ever wrote. I thought Diana Krall's cover was the best I'd ever heard until I heard Tori Amos' version. Just absolutely awesome. A total must-hear song. If you'd like the file, just email me with a request and i'd be delighted to share it.

How many sugars? | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Sugar performed by Tori Amos

In a live recording of this song Tori basically says this song is about having been with a guy for awhile and after all that time, the "ding-a-ling" (her words, not mine) still didn't know how many sugars she takes.

I love this song | Reviewer: Artemis
    ------ About the song Maybe California performed by Tori Amos

this song is smth of saying goodbye to a person i thought i liked.i remember the line "why not? nothing is making sense anymore to me" circling in my head when i was leaving. i felt a little bit disappointed then but "so let's be strong for you and me the night is opening" somehow made me realize that it was over and i have to move on. Maybe this song is about different things but i associate it with leaving all the hurtful feeling in the past even if now and then they burst into life again.
