| Tori Amos – The Pool Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| While talking about this song, she mentioned "Ode to the Banana King" was sort of a part 1 to "Pretty Good Year," and she knew that now she needed a third part. I guess she was talking about this song, but I'm having trouble connecting it. | |

A few people were wondering what the fruit references meant, or what each fruit represents. I know I'm late to this party, but to me it references a person changing before your eyes. They started out as a peach, but the more you interacted, the more their true colors started to come out (a prickly pear). But I'm positive it means a whole other jumble of things. The great thing about her music is that it hits you on a personal level, and whether or not it was what SHE intended to write it as, if if means something different to you than you're certainly not wrong. I liked one person's idea that "some" was pronounced "som", as in her name, and she's changing into something she never anticipated she would (from a peach, to a plum, to a pear.) The fruits could just be metaphors for a change, they don't necessarily need to be references to anything. |

My mom used to play JT on our road trips to Vermont, which I guess is why I like him so much now as an adult. I never understood the last verse and when I asked her about it, she said she was there in concert seeing him when he mentioned what it's about. She said that the Unification Church used to hold mass wedding ceremonies, where you would marry a whole bunch of people at once. This takes the intimate feel away from a wedding, but there's something really beautiful about that. Taking out all the materialistic qualities and you're just left with people who love each other. "I watch them turn like pages, one by one by one" follows along with the whole repeat of the song, lining things in your life up |
