For me it often goes back to one of my favourite quotes by Hugh Prather ~ very loosely stated (from my creaky memory)

I don't just want to hear what you are saying, I want to feel what you mean.

There are so many Tori songs that waited until I caught up with them emotionally. Others are still in the wings. One thing I've noticed though, is that once you "own" a Tori song it is yours forever. I was listening to Cooling and Purple People side by side on my drive home tonight. A long drive in the dark by the Lake Huron ~ The Moon was rising in a salmon~tangerine color and casting light across the frozen lake. It was sublime and I was lost in those two songs for a time. I think part of it, Richard, is not to try too hard ~ just be still and let the words penetrate your psyche ~ see where the journey takes you.

The moon and the lake have been INSANE lately, haven't they?


Tron, tell Gangsta to check his orgnotes!!!!!

Gangsta/Sexton do I have Cooling?

Yes. It should be on the set that Sextonseven made you. There's an awesome version with a perfect little story on the 2nd disc of "Venus" too.

It might just be the best song by anyone ever. Seriously.

Does Gangsta realize he left the Live side of Venus off my iPod? That's BLASPHEMY!!!!! well, I suppose I could put it on there myself. giggle

It is STUNNING ~ I turn it up really loud and pretned I'm there, at the concert, and get spirit bumps every time I listen to it.

Yes, he most definitely has "Cooling". That's easily my favorite Tori b-side of the last ten years.

Don't ask me to decipher anything for you. Lots of times with Tori albums I might as well be listening to the Cocteau Twins. lol


lol NO ONE knows what Liz is sayin' half the time. It sure is beautiful though. cloud9


In the early days, her lyrics/vocals were almost legible. Towards the end it was pure nonsense. lol
