somehow i was lucky enough to be in that corner seat closest to the stage for this show. not sure why since there were 2 people in line before us the whole morning, but that's how it worked out! Almost missed it cuz i had to tinkle during the commercial break. There was a standby person in my seat in case I didn't make it back. hello Clare, Jessen and Dor if you're out there.

Tori is a musical genius, her songs are very deep. have loved her music since 1992, her songs can transport you into a new deeper realm of human emotions.

[@darrenmiller6927]

Her piano compositions alone are astounding. How much talent does heaven allow? Amazing writing, excellent composition plays keyboards like a demon and has a voice angels envy. Soul piercing tunes to horrify and heal you. A pardox of disturbing and soul cleansing she and her music are one of a kind. One of the most talented artists to walk the face of the earth. And isnt it true that we find redemption sometimes in our filthiest, most soul ripping messes?

[@someunoriginalname299]

Crowd going crazy :D

[@bigdoghat3827]

The time signature on this song in the verses is bonkers, try counting it :)

[@JaySchraubMusic]

7/8....jesus! Same level of awe clever of that time as I had when I realized Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel is 7/4

[@jegr3398]

It's complex. Correct me if I'm wrong but here's what I count: 4 measures of 6/8 in the beginning followed by, 1 measure of 7/8, then, 3 measures of 6/8, 1 measure of 7/8 1 measure of 6/8 1 measure of 7/8 1 measure of 6/8 Then a measure of 10/8, (or you could group it as one of 6/8 followed by one of 4/8) Then it alternates between 6/8 and 7/8 for the rest of the verse.

Forgot about those eye brows! That look is so insanely 1998.

[@nickavenoso7851]

And that look at 1:08 is so Tori.
