I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... God that sounds so horrible I think a communist might say somethign liek that lol Just kidding..... like commercials YOu want this you must have this NOW GO BUY IT yikes you can do what you want but Im diggin on Tori Amos
The original music that comes out of Tori Amos, a fearless creative in my opinion, is brilliant. The music alone without lyrics is moody and magnetic. You just disappear into another world of fantasy or truths, and solace....for me it depends what album and track I am traveling with. I have been a fan for about ten years although I can't remember my exact age when I stumbled on her music. Toris celebration of teh feminine also rang true to me in my soul. Her albums display her prismatic skill as a pianist/ singer/songwriter/composer, and I admire that. I have never been good at the piano. I dabble in guitar, bass and love to sing my heart out at home of course into a tiny microphon attached to my computer.....music is a muse a stress reliever and a miracle. Also it inspires me to create........ I can paint for hours to Tori Amos, Its not the only music I can co-exist with in my creative consciousness, but it is certainly a favorite
-- I remember when Boys for Pele Surfaced in my world. It was like finding a shiny amulet in the woods on a cold dark night. It and Toris oteh rmusic became important to me. I htought who is this, oh my I did not come across thsi by mistake it was the fates. I mean things coem into being through peopel becasue people in the world need it and can benefit somehow. At the time I was in a abusive teenage relationship, amongst other dark things that were invading me, and somehow it helped me through it and amplified my strength. I also turned to Little Earthquakes and have been able to be embraced and embrace every cd .... I won't get into to much and disclose my relationship with each track because its not your right---I dont think--yet at least. I am not saying this is the only reason why, but that is really when I began to immerse myself in Tori Amos's musical paintings. I relate to all of her pieces in some way.... every time I got a new Tori CD it seemed to go along with what I was battling, enjoying or escaping at that time. . I don't want to make this too long ,or self-indulgent, so I will end here. I tip my hat to you fellow fans.
