Twinkle

"Yet the record isn't finished until Twinkle; it just wasn't finished until that song. That level of the flame, feeding the flame, because after all the stars, the fire, I had to go into that place of becoming that instead of trying to find it again."

the last remnants of feminity in a fast male dominated world is reduced to a distant twinkle of a fading star...

Exactly. There's always hope even in the worst of times, "no matter what she's got in her right dresser tied... i know she's watching that star"

That video is great ^ even though someone's composed different lines. Thanks for posting it Mordak.

Twinkle is hope. It's the end of Boys For Pele, an angry, break-up album, a very feminist album. She's looking at a girl, saying a girl can shine just as hard as anything else in the world. It does soung like a sad song, but I've always though of it as very positive. Boys For Pele is a journey, and this is the end, the resolution, the new beginning

I can always appreciate Tori Amos' music. She lets us into the dark so we can see the light. @ Mordak Thanks for posting the link. Sparked some musings of my own
