Especially the final chorus, where the strings suddenly drop out and Amos sings in a whisper against a minimal piano accompaniment. "Winter", also from Little Earthquakes.Not to mention the fact that it's about Tori's own experiences of being raped. It's like a haunting spiritual sung by someone who has just lost their faith. The fact that it's entirely a capella and sounds like she's either completely exhausted or on the verge of tears is what can really do it for some. It is stark, straightforward, and gut-wrenching.
But there is nothing ambiguous about " Me and a Gun," a cut from Little Earthquakes. Many Tori Amos songs become tearjerkers only after repeated listenings, which are required to decipher cryptic lyrics.This, coupled with her emotional, therapeutic (at least to the Toriphiles) music equals enough entries from tropers to make a whole page dedicated to T's Tear Jerkers. I’ve seen China 8 times, and Curtain Call 8 times as well – always together, except in one case each: In 2017 she did Curtain Call with Breakaway, which is another pairing that really makes sense, and the only time I’ve seen China without Curtain Call was at the televised Baloise Sessions – guess she thought the blowjob line too inappropriate for the occasion.Tori Amos has one of the most devoted fanbases on the planet.
I never knew it was a YKTR song, and I also never considered that the opening lines were literally taking place on a plane, that makes so much sense, I love that.Īs for the live connections, I’ve never seen it with Pisces. I’ve always had a more literal interpretation on top of the metaphorical one as well, and always saw it as a sort of long distance relationship type of thing – or maybe it was because I first started appreciating the clever word play when I was in one that was falling apart. I was looking forward to this episode because I’m definitely one of those people who roll their eyes a bit when they hear it live.
