marys of the sea

Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

"Relax love" he said before he left
"Take those hands away from your eyes
From where I stand you're in my sky"

You must go must flee
For they will hunt you down
You and your unborn seed
In all of Gaul is there safety?

Les Saint Marie de la Mer
You will dance the ring
Marys of the Sea
The lost bride weeps
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
We will dance your ring

Hey there's a new Jerusalem
Hey you built on rock that's on sand
For now you have hijacked the son
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

I hear a voice and it says
"The red of the red rose is its own
And something no man can divide"
So St. Jermaine hear the prayer of this supplicant
For two scarlet women, Black Madonna
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
I know it's your day in the sun
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

The best song on the album.

i love ya, anxie, baby!

i might be inclined to agree with you. its not necessarily the most fun track but the best ones rarely are.

For some reason I really like "The Power of Orange Knickers". I also like "General Joy".

OMG

good job Voices
I never knew Tori uses botox so frequently

VoicesCarry said:

yeah, i noticed the 'tox friendly tori back when "welcome to sunny florida" came out, lol. the pictures you sampled, though, don't provide the best comparison. other than different lighting (or make up), slightly different hair, and better cared for brows, there is little difference.

Who saw the "MadTV" "Desperate Housewives" skit? Until they did that send up I really didn't realize that any of the girls had botox, but it's obvious that at least Marcia Cross and Terri Hatcher has it. I won't even bring up the formerly sexy Nicolette Sheridan.

CynicKill said:

so sad what Sheridan has done to her face....

I love nearly the whole record, but I've really been feeling "Martha's Foolish Ginger" this past week.

GangstaFam said:

i've been feeling marys of the sea and toast. well, i've been feeling the whole record but today its those last two tracks. toast does something to me...i really get the song (as cheesy as that sounds).

too small for her face

Natalie has run through many noses. When will the insanity stop? Only Natalie nose!

SassyBritches said:

I like Toast too. To me, it fills the same spot that Twinkle did on Pele. A short, sentimental, bittersweet ending to a massive epic.

VoicesCarry said:

tori has not had botox. i actually met her a few months ago and she looked her age. beautiful w/wrinkles and all. those photos have probably just been retouched.

you can't touch up a live performance or tv appearance. fay lights are wonderful but they don't keep your forehed from moving, lol.

I've been really feeling "Mother Revolution" today. I love her description of this song on the bonus DVD.

Hearing or reading her discuss her work makes a huge difference in understanding it.

VoicesCarry said:

man, you have an eye for plastic surgery. I never paid Natalie that much attention but now that you've shown the pics....it's obvious. Same with Tori. Why can't people just age gracefully these days.

CynicKill said:

yeah. that's one of the few songs that I like too.

I just hope Ireland never makes it to your Tori Song du Jour. That's one song I'm pretty positive will never make it on my list of favorites....and my mind changes constantly.

AnckSuNamun said:

i like ireland a lot . its catchy and have been constantly finding myself humming it or singing it in my head.

SassyBritches said:

I think it was you I was talking to when I saw Tori on Carson Daly and you mentioned you like "Sleeps With Butterflies" better in it's album version then her solo piano performance. Now I consider myself an old school Tori fan which basically means I love solo piano Tori. I must mention that I heard her Carson version first. Suffice it to say I like the solo version better which may account for the fact that it was the first version I heard or that I prefer solo Tori. The question to the thread is, which Tori do you prefer, band Tori or solo piano Tori?

CynicKill said:

wrong person...but i do prefer the studio version to the version from the carson daly show. i love solo tori! i would take solo tori over a band anyday. that's not to say i don't dig the band stuff, because i do, just not as much as tori and her b3 or piano or both. now, if we were comparing the version of sleeps with butterflies from the record and the one from breakfast with the arts, i'd be all over the breakfast with the arts version.

SassyBritches said:

I LOVE Ireland. It makes me so happy.

My good friend bratchild hates that song though. Cars & Guitars too. Personally, I don't get it. I think they're two of the catchiest, most fun songs on the whole album. I pretty much love the whole album, but Ribbons Undone is the one I find myself skipping sometimes. It's a momentum killer for me. The sentiment is nice, but it's a bit sugary.

I've never seen Tori live with a band. I still kick myself that I missed the Choirgirl club tour. I fell out with Tori around that time and haven't seen her live since '96. So I can't really compare whether I like her better solo or with a band. That said, I get equal enjoyment out of her studio work with or without a band.
