"Why Should I Love You"

This chapter says
"Put it out of your mind"
Mmm, give it time....

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet

Of all of the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?

Have you ever seen a picture
Of Jesus laughing?
Mmm, do you think
He had a beautiful smile?
A smile that healed

Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet
The "E" of my eye
The eye in wonder
The eye that sees
The "I" that loves you

Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?

I'm discovering slowly Kate Bush. Today after creating a post on another forum I go, someone there pointed this song where P has some input.

I'd had some mp3 of Kate Bush's discography but I was always stuck on Hounds of Love and The Whole Story...I could stop listening to them and I didn't pay atten tion to the rest of the stuff I had from her...

KATE U ROCK!!!!!

when you say Mmm shes singing &

Cloudy must be gone for the evening.

I have always loved Kate's work, my fave is Running Up That Hill, have never tired of hearing it, I even have a version of it by Inner Santum which I obtained through win mx (Of all places)

Be Joyful

I want "Watching You Without Me" to be played at my funeral. It makes me cry everytime.

That's one thing I've never understood....Tori fans hating Kate Bush. Have you heard "Under the Ivy"? It's beautiful...but very short. That one makes me cry too.

The same happens between the ones that dig Björk and the ones that dig Tori...

People are so dumb sometimes...

BeatsPerMinute said:

I dig them both on an equal level to my Prince obsession. They're both
just really incredible.

There are a lot of people that dig them both, aren't there??

Seriously, when was her last recording out. Has it been 10 years?? Imagine being an obsessive fan of hers, it must suck totally ..woops cloudbusters coming

JACKAL said:

True. But there's an awful lot of Joni in Tori's work, too.

Kate Bush is just great but when the fuck is she gonna release a new album

sermwanderer said:

soon my child..soon.

LOVE HER.

AnckSuNamun said:

Do Tori fans really hate Kate Bush?

Cloudbuster said:

I dig Joni, just not Kate.

sextonseven said:

I don't speak for all Tori fans, but I do.

JACKAL said:

thats like digging prince but hating sly stone..


without one you cant have the other..

well, actually...you would still have kate and sly..but anyways..

sosgemini said:

I like both Prince and Sly, but I'm certain that are several people who like Prince and don't like Sly. It's a matter of opinion. It would be like saying that everyone who likes rock & roll must like Little Richard. Not necessarily so.

JACKAL said:

lil richard is rock in roll!! it is so!! tori is the weakest link. goodbye!!

sosgemini said:

I second what you said about Little Richard. But I'm voting Kate off my island.

i love Tori and i love Kate. They are very, very different. I have NEVER understood the notion mentioned by some journalists that Tori somehow rips off Kate. That is lazy writing. There are some superficial similarities, yes. But stylistically they are worlds apart. Also, the songwriting is absolutely nothing alike. Kate tends to do more story-songs, whereas Tori is much more personal and confessional. At times there voices can sound similar - and they are both female artists who are very brave and powerful - but that is where the similarities end.

Favorite Kate tracks:

Pull out the Pin and Under the Ivy And Sat in your Lap... and Jig of Life... and This Woman's Work... and Ran Tan Waltz... and too many others to mention

One of my favorite songs by her is "Running up that hill" I used to sing it while cleaning my apartment. It kinda makes me sad though.

I love Kate. I'm looking forward to her new album. Isn't it supposed to come out this spring or summer? Soon, anyway?

SnowQueen said:

She said it'll be released this year. The actual date is uncertain but "this year" is good enough for me.

Kate Bush =

Joni Mitchell =

Kate Bush + Joni Mitchell = Tori Amos


Tori is pretty rubbish

I like Tori a lot but I was playing a song by Joni the other day called Banquet from For The Roses and I was like... DAMN! It was more Tori than Tori herself.
