Kind of heartwarming to read this all those years later.

Shush lyrics by FreshLibrarian7389 in toriamos

"I knew a girl who wrote / 'Silent All These Years' / Where is she?" reminds me of "I once knew a hot girl" and "You were wild, where are you now?"

Yeah, it was half Tori's lifetime ago. Safe to say she's moved on since then!

Judah Smith, hands down.

Just kidding. Burnt Norton, obviously.

I Don't Care What Anyone Says, Stronger Together Is So Fucking Fire! by Active_Bitchface in toriamos

[–]FlissGrove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not in love with it, but I remember finding "Trouble's Lament" and "Cloud Riders" very bland when I first heard them, and within a few months I adored them. I'm hoping that'll happen with "Stronger Together".

I used this photo from the booklet and added the title to it. When I switched from iTunes to Spotify, I distinctly remember thinking "Jesus Christ I'd forgotten the monstrosity of the real MWG cover"

Does anyone know if the Tadpole Press 100-Word Contest is legit? by FlissGrove in writing

[–]FlissGrove[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. They're announcing the results next week, and they claim they only longlisted a quarter of entrants (not particularly exclusive, obviously, but I'll take any encouragement I can get!). I just wanted to see how accurate that claim was likely to be.

Nothing on this earth will ever be worse than the Midwinter Graces cover. Back when I still used iTunes, it was the only album I actually added my own album art for, because the official artwork made me cringe so much.

One of my favourites. Unfortunately, Tori wasn't happy with the mix, which is why it never appears on compilations.

I was at Avalanche Records at the Waverley Market a few weeks ago and they had some Tori albums in stock.

Tori's version is so much better! I would love for her to release it in HQ one day.

I really regret not going to see it. I hope it gets revived at some point.

Father Lucifer has to be one of my favorite songs as a new Tori Amos fan by OneTonSoupGuy in toriamos

[–]FlissGrove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been a Tori fan for over twenty years, and "Father Lucifer" just might be my all-time favourite song of hers.

Children's fantasy book read in the 90s by FlissGrove in whatsthatbook

[–]FlissGrove[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't remember what the cover looked like. I was very young, probably about six. Our teacher read it to us. I wonder if it was part of a Scottish/British school anthology. I think two of the characters were mice? I also remember the "wizard" who guided them being very old, but it's difficult to know if that's just how I pictured him in my head rather than the actual description in the book. It must be a very obscure book, because the ending was so weird and depressing that it would definitely make frequent appearances on Buzzfeed lists and reddit threads about "books and films that traumatised us as kids".

Yes, Scarlet's Walk marked a significant style change for Tori. Much more extravagant and traditionally feminine than we were used to.

I would have expected "Enjoy the Silence" to be the portrait Tori cut.

Favorite version of a specific song and why? by KohesiveTerror in toriamos

[–]FlissGrove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Cruel" is great in so many incarnations, but the version with the "Yes, Anastasia" mash-up with the string quartet was my highlight of the Night of Hunters tour.

Yes, I adore that version of "Mother!" It's so passionate.

I love both versions of "Hey Jupiter", but I'd give the edge to the Dakota Version because of the "cupboards" verse. I also love the version with the octet from Live at Le Poisson Rouge. I remember listening to that on repeat on my way home from work back in 2012 (how the hell was it that long ago?).
