Winter, Tori Amos Just listened to Boys for Pele and now listening to Little Earthquakes.
'Crucify' and 'Winter' two of Top 100 pop songs of the 21st century. At least. 'Precious Things' and 'Silent All These Years' is also on Little Earthquakes. Such good stuff man. [Edited 5/29/08 22:41pm] [Edited 5/29/08 22:46pm] I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

Wow....the Tori gang's slacking.  Must've missed this thread. I haven't listened to Tori's albums in their entirety for a while. I'll listen if songs pop up on iPod shuffle, but I haven't been in the mood for her stuff lately. Hope I'm not growing out of her. I'll forever love "Blood Roses" though....regardless. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

Such an exquisitely, painfully beautiful song. So intense and personal it almost feels like I'm standing there as a small child. Joni's Blue does the same thing to me.  Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

cheesy as it is, this song will always get the credit for encouraging me to take a look at myself and start appreciating who i am. i still love this song and i still think it's one of her best!

WINTER
Tori Amos Snow can wait I forgot my mittens Wipe my nose Get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart When I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run off Where the drifts get deeper Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice "Your must learn to stand up for yourself Cause I can't always be around" He says When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear Boys get discovered as winter melts Flowers competing for the sun Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace But I only can see the myself Skating around the truth who I am But I know dad the ice is getting thin When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear Hair is grey And the fires are burning So many dreams On the shelf You say I wanted you to be proud of me I always wanted that myself He says When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change My dear I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

Chesey? au contraire mon ami. Truly. i know that's the point of the song but i feel cheesy saying i relate to it, lol. but really, even today...17 years later...when i'm feeling bad about myself i put this on and it helps me focus and sort it out.

I think it's an emotional experience that all girls who had daddies can relate to. It just pulls at my heart when I listen to that song. | |

i credit it for the same thing, to some degree, only relatively recently. hearing it live in Toronto, and then listening to it a lot afterward was one of the tiny little pushes that i gave myself to look at how i was living and how i wanted to live and coming to terms with how to make that transition, trying to hang on to the good that i already had in my life while re-arranging everything else and trying to make it work. so okay, it didn't work out exactly how i'd hoped, but it was a small help in putting me on the path. ehuffnsd said: i don't think the father has to be your biological father but someone who played that role for you as a teacher/protector.
indeed. I'm missing my best friend Yes it was Incredible There's no reason to pretend | |

Exactly...and then when you lose that person the feeling becomes all the more acute. That song took on a completely different meaning for me after my father died. | |
