| Tori Amos – Raining Blood (Slayer cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| What she did with this song was just amazing, I think this summarises all that I appreciate in Tori. A song I could otherwise never associate with, she takes to a realm that sends me straight to that dark room, sitting in the corner waiting for nothing in particular. | |
| Tori Amos – I Can't See New York Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I personally think the stanza mentioning crystal meth in 'metres of millions' is a reference to the appearance of NY after the towers collapsed. Also a fair bit of symbology in not just calling it smoke, but the associated toxicity of crystal meth. My favourite line is "In the end all we have, soul blueprint. did we get lost in it, do we conduct a search for this" People really do focus too much on the soul and afterlife, and look what the 'search' leads to... What a powerful song though, I never really felt a proper connection with 9/11, but I really feel what Tori has tapped into here. It's easier to inhale without the hysteria of death and suffering bombarding you. |
