a tribute to Tori Amos

Written by nelson on January 25, 2009 – 1:00 pm -

i’ve always cited tori as a major influence and inspiration, both as a musician and songwriter. her artistry, methodology, and purpose are unmatched in my book. i admit that i don’t like every song she writes. but at the same time, i’m totally appreciative and understanding of the fact that there’s more to it than just a catchy riff or melody. after all, when have you ever heard tori’s name and the word “mainstream” in the same sentence? yet, she still garners an unfathomable fanbase. her words and music speak to the individual on such a personal level, thus establishing a sort of relationship, so-to-speak. personally, i can connect more of her songs to past memories very vividly, more so than any other musician i can think of.

now, since her talent and ability are one-of-a-kind, i can only offer these up as my interpretations of the songs. i just hope i did her some amount of justice.
