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 singer-songwriters is her
ability to wrap her painful experiences within mythic
metaphors. At the same time, Amos's musical expertise
enables her to bounce stylistically from sophisticated,
heart-tugging ballads to whimsical, somewhat jazzy
excursions More...

------ About the song Talula performed by Tori Amos
apparently it's you whom has not heard the song. Although NOT the album version, it is part of the Single version. Go to everythingtori.com /music/talula singles. She very clearly is singing the intro lyrics as they have been printed on this website.
amazing song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Sugar performed by Tori Amos
i've been a tori fan forever and i had no idea it was not on an album. i guess i need to become more of a fan and learn the tracks to the album. its just wrong that no one outside of a dance/tori fan club world have no idea about this song
uh. have anyone ever heard this song? | Reviewer: lexon
------ About the song Talula performed by Tori Amos
at the begining and the end of the song she says something, but nothing remotely like this:
Congratulate you
Said you had a double tongue
Balancing cake and bread
Say goodbye to a glitter girl
More like this:
He's chasing ........
I'm just waiting calmly
Chasing hell and hate
Blue Skies is/are so beautiful | Reviewer: Laura
------ About the song Blue Skies performed by Tori Amos
Whenever I am down, I just listen to Blue Skies and feel much better. On the drive to work yesterday, as I sang at top volume, I believe the clouds did clear and blue skies were revealed. This is an awesome song that I never get tired of hearing, and I share it with everyone I know.
This song is awesome. | Reviewer: Teej
------ About the song Datura performed by Tori Amos
Simply one of the best songs ever written. The samples used in the underlying beat are masterfully constructed, the whole "is there room in my heart" portion of the song is one of the most powerful movements I have ever heard.

cornflakesssss. | Reviewer: marshmallow.
------ About the song Cornflake Girl performed by Tori Amos
This came from about a young African woman going through the ritual of female genital cutting. In the song two factions of women are referred to: the "Raisin Girls" are "multicultural" and open-minded, while the "Cornflake Girls" of the title are narrowminded and full of prejudice
My Siren | Reviewer: P_e
------ About the song Siren performed by Tori Amos
i love this song. and when i listen i always have the impression that T sings the Siren's Song and assumes the siren's myth.
sirens were said to be winged creatures and in the song coquette is referred to. yeah it means flirt, but also its a type of humming bird, and what do birds do best of all? they sing. and although associated with the sea, these sirens lived on the 'flowery island'. and vanilla comes from orchids, and interestingly is an aphrodesiac.
she sings this song calling perhaps to Persephone, the daughter of Demeter who gave the siren her wings for not protecting persephone when hades abducted her.
genuinely, i feel Siren to be a love and a lust song. a love song that almost fills her pregnant; perhaps it is even exploring more than the obvious type of love; perhaps the song hints at the love of a mother for her daughter too, like in great expectations where miss havisham loves her daughter estelle, but has ruined and broken every chance for that girl finding love because of her own suffering. or perhaps how demeter is almost broken through losing her daughter persephone.
i think this story in the song, whomever it is sung to, could conjour a very seductive and powerful wanting....such as pips life long desire for estelle.

------ About the song Father Lucifer performed by Tori Amos
when she performed this on vh1 storytellers she told a story about how her very christian father had been upset that she wrote such a hurtful song about him and was then greatly relieved when she explained that it was in fact the result of a meeting with lucifer she had had during ritual drug use with a shaman. although the lyrics dont well lend themselves to this story.
When i look at tori sing her songs shes recreates her life stories. The emotion and desire become as 1 combined with her piano. I myself have never heard anyone quite like her. It would be a great honor to meet her i do find similarities with her love of nature and certain aspects of life's expectancies. If there are gods i will always consider her one of mine.
i realy love this song | Reviewer: Tori

Sugar | Reviewer: Marc
------ About the song Sugar performed by Tori Amos
I've been a fan of Tori's since the beginning. This is one of my favorites. The song is emotional and brings a deep sadness to me but is such a great one. I'd give anything to have the song on one of her future records. Tori is such a wonderful soul.
This song has something to do with a shadowy figure Tori must have known back a long time ago. The story goes that this guy was an aquaintence of hers who she kinda liked.They lost touch until he sent her this water color of a girl in a wedding dress and told her she needed to get married. Apparently she knew where this guy lived and one day flew over his house while he was sitting out by the pool. Her plane circled him several times and then flew away. If any of this is true, its really bizarre but romantic. But the lyrics do suggest some of this.
Outstanding..as usual | Reviewer: birdi
------ About the song Almost Rosey performed by Tori Amos

Story song | Reviewer: Zelesca
------ About the song Upside Down performed by Tori Amos
I understand this song. It's not hard to follow. Most of her songs have story elements, but it's in a song so it's more broken, kind of like a puzzle. She's wonderful live performing this song.
great song!!! | Reviewer: nashie
------ About the song Sugar performed by Tori Amos
Jyonah, it's really a shame that this song isn't on the album. I read somewhere that Tori actually regrets not putting Sugar on the album...she also didn't know what's wrong with her when she made the decision...Honey too should be on the album, but it's on B-sides. Tori...you're so great on this song! ur funny too...i love yew!
