Tori Amos A Sorta Fairytale

[@LeeLeeCRN]

Listening to Tori brings back so many great memories. My friends n I saw her at least 4xs in concert when I was younger. There were about 5 of us total in the group. In the mid/late 90s our ages ranged from 12-14 so we couldn't go by ourselves. Our parents paid our way, but my bffs Dad was the one who took us bc he had a minivan that could accommodate us. He was this big burly muscular dude that owned his own construction company. He looked like he could take you out with his bare hands. My bff was the complete opposite n eventually "came out" when we were in HS n ofc Dad fully supported him. He happily escorted us to the Tori concerts...one time he drove us to one that was 2hrs away in another state!! He'd sit there with a smile through the entire show n try to appreciate the music even though it clearly wasn't his thing lol. After every concert, he'd take us to a 24hr diner to eat..no matter how late it was. He looked SO out of place at a Tori Amos concert😂. He didn't care though. He always made sure we had the best time n that we stayed safe. I think the memory is even more special now looking back on it as a parent myself. I know that feeling of wanting to do whatever you can to make your kid happy n it makes me appreciate what a great Dad he was. I've lost touch with them over the years. The last time I saw them was abt 15yrs ago. I was pregnant with my 1st n they came to my baby shower. I hope they are all doing well. Sry this is so long...just wanted to share. Tori is absolutely amazing live btw.😉

@@tashaschneider1419 erm, you know that video was 'acting'. She is from my own home state and I've never heard a bad word spoke of her. You just sound more and more desperate with each comment and I feel bad for you, if your state of mind is such that you take videos to be 'real' and can't handle a human having some talent. If you're such a harpsichord fan, upload a video of yourself playing so we all can make our own minds up about who is better. It sounds like your head is in the toilet, lass, I do feel badly for you.

[@elana81RDH]

1996...I lived in a little Midwestern town on the edge of the woods. My older stepsister had just come to live with us and she moved into the attic bedroom. In between playing around with my Microsoft Encarta CD Rom, crushing berries and mushrooms into a magic potion as a "nature witch" in the woods, and watching 7th Heaven, I would sneak into her room to look through all of my step sister's CDs. Boys for Pele rocked my world. That album's jacket art was absolutely shocking for my sheltered preteen mind. Nursing a pig on a filthy front porch?! I was appalled and yet at the same time...inspired. Months later sitting in the theater watching Twister on my very first "official" date, I heard this song come on as soon as Helen Hunt came on the screen. The 90s. Take me back to those simple, wonderful days.

[@OURPERFECTO]

Beautiful! Living in the Midwest during the 1990s was a wonderful experience. When the film, TWISTER dropped we knew that movie was from our neck of the woods.

[@babbytiny7647]

[@danielnikolic]

this is a song from Boys for Pele, where many songs reference other songs. This one references "My name is Tallulah" from Bugsy Malone (look for it) and that song is kind of about Tori (Tallulah "had her training in North Carolina", and additionally, Jodie Foster, who plays Tallulah, of the same age as Tori). I believe this is a song about what Tori remembers from her early teens, when she started playing in gay bars in DC. The video is likely symbolic, as Tori has broken out from her bubble by playing in public.

I work in a plant that repairs rail cars, and the amount of safety violations that tori violated when she was using that torch are: 1. No leather flame retardant gloves for torch work. 2 No safety glasses 3. No flame resistant sleeves 4. This is optional, but a half face mask rated for fumes would have been ideal. To be honest she really could have burned herself with that melted plastic is the only real danger. Anyways, love the video and song, and of course Tori!

[@noelgibson5956]

I'm 54, and have only just caught on to this woman. It doesn't matter where I am:- work, daughters place, shopping centre, hardware store.........the music is 95% 60's and 70's, with maybe one token 90's or noughties song in a given timeslot. Well hello.........well what about us? My generation sung stuff too! Remember, most songs are good songs, until you have to hear them every day, sometimes unwillingly. Every song I hear at work, I heard yesterday and the day before, etc. Yeah it's great to feel represented! I hold the view that modern music should be the main content on radio, in shopping centres, etc, and if you want older stuff, play it at home later. Who chooses shopping centre music anyway? They must think the customers have an average age of 76. 🤔😵

[@blakelaramie]

I have never understood Talula. It is my favorite song! I like not knowing. She is incredible! Live 5 times.

[@vjforsythe2198]

+blake laramie It's about her abortion, I think.

[@weirdman5215]

She said Talula is about letting go and getting the dance as said by Tori. Here are a few paragraphs of Tori talking about Talula “It keeps moving into the dance of Talula, and her desperately trying to dance, desperately trying to figure out the whole idea of loss: it must be worth losing if it’s worth something. So if I feel like I am losing something, at lease I valued something enough to lose it in the first place… it’s going back into that train of thought. Talula is very much a riddle. The sense of loss is such a tricky one, because we always feel like our worth can grow with things we are willing to lose. So there’s a real letting go. Talula is about letting go and getting the dance. I don't want to lose him… The loss of Eric in my life was…it felt like half of me walked out the door. And Talula came as a nursery rhyme, my little dance that I would do when things we're so sad. Because I started thinking but ‘God, I have these feelings, which means…’ we shared so many moments that I value, I really valued that, so what a gift that I can feel this loss, that I am not so numb, that I haven’t cut myself off so much, and once I could feel the loss then I started to feel free. I want to dance and go ‘yeah, I want to be with Talula.’ I want to be able to dance through the people that come in and go out of your life. I want to learn how to dance with the gifts when they come and the gifts when they need to take a different route.” [B-Side - May/June 1996]

[@chrisv.h.2307]

My theory: Talula is the person being sung to, a woman debating a potentially life-altering decision, sung from the perspective of her inner thoughts. The harpsichord represents the immediate concerns: like the judgment of others around her, societal expectations, and fear of devastating consequences. The harpsichord replicates musically the effect of "chasing tornadoes." Tori's voice represents Talula's intuition, telling her wisdom of the ages. In this case, what her intuition tells her is that women have been challenged by silly men for ages. While the harpsichord chases tornadoes, the intuition line just sits there calmly, resting on top of the chaos of the moment. She knows that, in the end, the decision the woman makes is her own, whatever it is, and none of that harpsichord line really matters.
