maysparkle 2,432 Posted March 9, 2023 What is everyone’s fave Tori album? Mine is Scarlet’s Walk followed by close tie of Choirgirl Hotel and Little Earthquakes. Sorry if this topic has been done to death. I’m not that familiar with her stuff from 2009 on. Not sure why, but her earlier records just hit different. 1 Quote The Log Lady [to Laura]: “When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out.

Boys For Pele that album, and Tori's music in general, kinda sorta changed my life and I haven't felt such a surge of strong emotions when listening to her songs since like discovering Lana for example. From The Choirgirl Hotel is a second favourite of mine too! The first 7 albums of her career (yes I am including Strange Little Girls in this lol, Tori's covers are so underrated) are really the holy grail. As for her work after Scarlet's Walk, I have dabbled a bit into American Doll Posse and I remember quite liking Bouncing Off Clouds, Programmable Soda and Digital Ghost. 0 Quote ♡⋆*.⋆ ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maysparkle 2,432 Posted September 14, 2023 Anyone heard the new (old) Scarlet’s Hidden Treasures? I hadn’t heard it before it was released on streaming last week, and I’m obsessed. It’s so good and most of the songs would have easily fit on Scarlet’s Walk in place of others. Also, I just got my red Amazon version of the 2023 remaster of Scarlet’s Walk and it’s gorgeous. 2 Quote The Log Lady [to Laura]: “When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out.

Poetry in Motion 132 Posted January 2 On 9/19/2024 at 8:05 AM, Poetry in Motion said: ohhh i just started listening to Under the Pink and i think this is the start of something big for me update now! i’m all in. i’ve been reading interviews for each song on yessaid and am taking my TIME with this!! absorbing and feeling everything. i went back to Little Earthquakes and had time with that and the b-sides, now I’m on the UTP b-sides. Currently, my favorites are Flying Dutchman, Winter, Precious Things, Mary, Honey, Cornflake Girl, and the live version of Sugar on Venus Live, Still Orbiting (I was curious and went ahead!!) — but I love every song. I really am obsessed with the live version of Sugar right now. Oh my god. And when she said “I've written a song called "Sugar" about those people you meet that you'll never have a relationship with, but if you could have 25 minutes alone with them, you'd have this incredible affair. There's something magical and you want to merge with it in every way possible. That's why I could imagine being a carnivore thousands of years ago; you want to merge with them so intensely you could almost eat them. Say we didn't have bodies and blood and guts, but just released these light energies like colours, then we could just merge. That's what making love is really about. Your blue connects with my pale orange; a little bit of fire-engine red with your lime green! That's what they were doing when they ate someone, like their lover or a beaten enemy. It's a bit different with the Romans buggering the guys they beat -- it all gets distorted down the line. They were merging; that's what they were doing.” … Wow. I felt that so hard. I did first read that when I was HEAD over HEELS infatuated with a guy though and now I’ve come to my senses, but it still is intense. And I FEEL those high notes at the end of the song so painfully. Yeah! Tori Amos! 2 Quote (but dont take me too seriously) JANELLE MONAE • TORI AMOS • WEYES BLOOD • ETHEL CAIN • MITSKI • BOYGENIUS • LUCY DACUS • INFINITY SONG • PHOEBE BRIDGERS • CHAPPELL ROAN • TAYLOR SWIFT • THE LAST DINNER PARTY • MAUDE LATOUR • SUSANNAH JOFFE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domandapiano 12,133 Posted January 2 LOVE to see more love for her and her music! So underrated. She just released a live album a couple weeks ago and I was apprehensive how I’d like it but it’s actually pretty good. Spring haze and crazy are particularly lovely. what I wouldn’t do to have been able to see her in the 90’s on the dew drop inn tour or the plugged tour. There’s a live version of bells for her with harpsichord from DDI that’s SO GOOD. ~here’s the vid!~ seriously one of the best live musicians everrrr 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would kill someone to be able to witness that. The way she plays the piano is absolutely unmatched it’s so visually stimulating like she’s not just playing it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
