Unrelenting Light - Tori Amos -foorumi

Eli älä lue jos et halua tietää etukäteen Starrykitten Afterglow:lta näitä on nyt postannut ja ja.. alkaa tosiaan vaikuttaa Torin heikoimmalta levyltä

"Give"

So you heard
I crossed over the line
Do I have regrets?
Well, not yet
There are some
some who give blood
I give love
I give

Soon before the sun
before the sun
begins to rise
I know that I
I must give
so that I can live

There are some
some whose give
twists itself to take
they mistake
who, what made up the line
some say it was pain
or was it shame

Soon before the sun
before the sun
begins to rise
I know that I
I must give
so that I
I can live
Some
Some who give blood
I give love
I give

"Strong Black Vine"

Shut your mouth
I'm spinnin' it tight down souoth
I'm on raid
tie you down boy cause I can
save you from that evil faith
Eagles serve yeah uh-huh mother first
they turn you predator but boy I can
save you from that evil faith
arms sold in balmy cities that may not be with us or long
save you from that evil faith
lay back
strong black vine
submission
is my mission for a
strong black vine
you just might see that
sweet jesus
submission
is my mission for a
strong black vine
your mission
concentrate
blown to bits her innocent flesh to dust
all for a dark god
all for the love of some faith
swollen stream
every drip serpents bless
you rape Earth knowledge
still she would save you from your evil faith
bodies bathe is black gold your pleasure
arms sold in balmy cities that may not be with us for long
save you from that evil faith

"Flavor"

Battle of the mind
cries Below cries Above
You must pick a side
Will you choose fear?
Will you choose love/

What does it look like
this orbital ball from the fringes of the Milky Way
What does it feel like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of hte MIlky Way
Raining flavor
Icing flavor
flavor love

Whose God then is God?
They all want jurisdiction
in the Book of Earth
whose God spread fear?
Spread love?

What does it look like
this orbital ball from the fringes of the Milky Way
What does it feel like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of hte MIlky Way
Raining flavor
Icing flavor
flavor love
Turn up the frequency
What does it look like
this orbital ball from the fringes of the Milky Way
What does it feel like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of hte MIlky Way
Raining flavor
Icing flavor
flavor love
Spread that flavor
flavor flavor

"Not Dying Today"

There was a gambler and a cleaner and a puppeteer
only the puppet could explain what he was
All on a bus we were hopin' just to pass the time
plug my piece in boys then we can drink the wine
drink the wine drink the wine--
music, good friends, I'm not dyin' today
I may be 6 foot under full of wonder
I'm not dyin' today
Dyin' today
I'm not dying mister
today
Neil is thrilled he can claim he's mammalian
"But the bad news" he said "Girl you're a dandelion."
Dandelion. Hey I need to think about that.
yeah I thought about that and I said
"What the Hell?"
He said, "Nope you are Earth bound, blow them seeds away
maybe one will make a sound
Make a sound, make a sound
music good friends,
I'm not dyin' today
I may be 6 foot under full of thunder
I'm not dying' today
dyin' today
I'm not dying mister
today
So they got us go
goin' and comin'
cause they make us pay
if we go or stay
Is he prayin'
that I'll pop my clogs?
if they can't prove I'm crazy
by noon I'll be pushin' up them daisies
tomorrow with their donut box they'll say
"it's sad she's brown bread"
Hey I got my weapons
music, good friends
I'm not dyin' today
I may be 6 foot under
way down yonder
I'm not dyin' today
dyin'
I'm not dying, sister, take your paws off
my ankle straps and my mister
dyin fryin', rather have a lie-in
I am not blowin' that Gabriel's Trumpet
I got my own band to play today

"Maybe California"

hey Mrs. see please don't jump
"why not, nothing is making sense anymore to me
I don't know when I stopped making him smile
Now the kids see me cry all the time."

From one mother to the other
They'll never get over this
for their lifetime all their wishes
will be dashed upon those cliffs

So let's be strong you and me
the night is opening
our angels are falling
and they will wam
they'll warm us
She asked "Right now?
Right here?"
I'm feelin' soon,
soon my dear
maybe California
maybe California

As mothers we have our troubles
You'll leave them with emptiness
for their lifetime all their wishes will be dashed upon those cliffs
those cliffs

So let's be strong you and me
the night is opening
our angels are falling
and they will wam
they'll warm us
She asked "Right now?
Right here?"
I'm feelin' soon,
soon my dear
maybe California
maybe California
Until then there will be
starlight shining down
for every tear in town

Lisää tulee myöhemmin mut mut.."as mothers we have our troubles"??? WTF.. Onko Torin mielestä vain äideillä ongelmia?? Maybe California biisistä en ainakaan tule tykkäämään koska noi sanat nyt koskee vain äitejä.. haukotus..

"Police Me"

Police yourself
police yourself
police me
police yourself
police yourself
police me

We've got our own remote viewing
Every cell has been taught to think
Perhaps the answer to the question
Lies in the question
Perhaps you should read my thoughts
Line them up like soldiers

Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me

Loaded, full of winter you are
Storming blackberry girl
Will you strike before he's
loaded, full of winter you are storming
blackberry girl will you strike
before he's loaded
full of winter you are

Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me

Can they monitor how you think?
They've got their own remote viewing
To get off he cries "slutty goth"
but I'm a brightly colored person

Loaded, full of winter you are
Storming blackberry girl
Will you strike before he's
loaded, full of winter you are storming
blackberry girl will you strike
before he's loaded
full of winter you are

Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me

En lukenut kaikkia kokonaan, koska Torin omituisemmatkin sanat voivat kuulostaa ihan hyviltä musiikin kanssa. Ne pätkät, mitä luin, näyttävät kyllä aika... tylsiltä. Inspiraatio puuttuu.

Joo nää tosiaan vaikuttaa aika mielenkiinnottomilta, puuttuu kaikki outoudet ja sellaset sanavalinnat jotka saa vetämään henkeä. Ja mitä pakkoriimittelyä välillä, tuntuu että kuka tahansa sais tällasia aikaan.
"I don't know when I stopped making him smile
Now the kids see me cry all the time."

Given lyriikat oli muuten suurin pettymys. Se youtubessa oleva parodia sai mut odottamaan jotain sen tyylistä niin nyt ei mikään muu kelpaa. Toivottavasti tällä levyllä melodiat kuitenkin vähän korvais noita sanotuksia... Mä oon muuten kumman kriittinen tänään, ehkä nuo sanat aukeaa mulle huomenna.

(Fanien arvaus:)

"Welcome to England"

do a dance for me
baby, they're just lights
but now you pour me a tall one
go on, let the liquor take off what you're on
you've been down before
but not like this
i'm in quicksand
i am sinking fast
"perfect," he laughed
'cause your other half is down south
a devil's axis

Welcome To England
he said
welcome to my world

you better bring your own sun
sweet girl
you gotta bring your own sun
don't you forget you'll bring your own sun
just enough for everyone

heels on
go on
bang a tango but do not get tangled
who can stay strong
when they only give us lies to lean on?
when your heart explodes
is it deathly cold?
you must let the colors violate the blackness
there is a magic world parallel
so leave your daily hell

Welcome To England
he said
welcome to my world

it's not a question if i can
fight by your side and withstand
anything but i forgot
that you said
girl, if you come...

you better bring your own sun
sweet girl
you gotta bring your own sun
don't you forget you'll bring your own sun
just enough for everyone
everyone

Welcome To England
Welcome To England

(faniarvaus:)

"Fire to your plain"

Shock
Got the shock of my life
Just buckle up girls
I'm stealing the night
From them, steal the night
What they're down to
Let's see in colder light

I gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

'Cause she's up
and I am low
Watching you watching her play this game
Yes she's bold
Bold enough
To set fire to your plain
Her fire to your plain

Pray, you can pray to your Jain
I put out the call but not to be saved
Called my devil in kin
With her yellow Aston Martin

We gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

'Cause she's up
and I am low
Watching him watching her play this game
As she's bold
Bold enough
To set fire to his plain

She said, "Get in and set the sat nav to Hell
Or would it be a purgatory?"

I gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

'Cause she's up
and I am low
Watching you watching her play this game
As she's bold
Bold enough
To set fire to your plain
Her fire to your plain

Her fire
Bold enough
Her fire to your plain

(En välttämättä usko kaikkiin sanoihin ennen kun saan virallisen cd vihkosen eteeni)

SisterClitorides kirjoitti:baby, they're just lights

'cause your other half is down south

Itse kuulen:
Baby, it is late
- - -
'cause your other half has got himself

Mutta en todellakaan ole varma... FTYP:ssa on helpompi ymmärtää mitä Tori sanoo.

"Fast Horse"

How can I be drunk
You strike with dry poison
I am possessed
Still engaged in some kind of advanced shackling

Girl you got to find you the man who
Can you smoke this out, Bad Medicine
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Good Medicine would say

You got a fast horse darlin'
but all you do is complain
it ain't a Maserati
You had a soul that you left back in Memphis
but your mama ain't New York she is pure
Tennessee

On a desert highway
I am struck by my own rage
time-bomb in his palm a finger-apple
augments this advanced shackling
Girl you got to find you the man who
Can you smoke this out, Bad Medicine
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Good Medicine would say

You got a fast horse darlin'
but all you do is complain
it ain't a Maserati
You had a soul that you left back in Memphis
but your mama ain't New York she is pure
Tennessee

"Ophelia"

Ophelia your secret is safe
Ophelia you must break the chain
some girls will get their way
some fathers will control from the grave

Veronica's America is not like
is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
cosmic flavor
then Alison whispers "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
waiting for you to send her away
wish her well break the chain
break the chain"
I feel you

Ophelia
"The Eve of St. Agnes"
a poem he can't reach you in
Ophelia you know how to lose
but when will you learn to choose
those men who choose to stay
those mothers who won't look the other way
Ophelia you must remember

Veronica's America is not like
is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
cosmic flavor
then Alison whispers "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
waiting for you to send her away
wish her well break the chain
break the chain"
I feel you

"Starling"

Starling you were right I am the jealous kind
whoever would have guessed
Starling now I am shut out and confined
even within my nest

what, what does it take to make it through another day
if a feather lined with his words becomes a blade

Starling when he screams he screams in black and white
just like the magpie
shattered night then I woke
not to a lonely lark but to a raven's cry

if a feather lined with his words becomes a blade
then, what will it take to make it through another day

so when they play, play the song
sing along
it may be your turn to shine
if you know the lines
hey what's that you say
"you can find, find him on line
most of the time these days"
"is that right" I say

You were right starling.

"Welcome to England" (Oikeat sanat!)"

"Do a dance for me."
Baby I know it is late still you pour me
a tall one
"Go on let the liquid take off what you're on
You've been down before.
Boy, I'm not like this.
I'm in quicksand I am sinking fast.
"Perfect," he laughed. "Cause your other half
has got himself a devil's access.

Welcome to England."
he said. "Welcome to my world. You better bring your own sun
sweet girl. you gotta bring your own sun now don't you forget
you bring your own sun, just enough for everyone."

Heels on. Go on.
Bang a tango but do not get tangled
Who can stay strong when they give us lies to lean on?
when your heart explodes is it deathly cold?
You must let the colors violate the
Blackness
There is a magical world parallel
so leave your daily
hell--

Welcome to England."
he said. "Welcome to my world. You better bring your own sun
sweet girl. you gotta bring your own sun now don't you forget
you bring your own sun, just enough for everyone."
"Welcome to England"
Welcome to England

Eli kuulin oikein.

John Everett Millais'n maalaus The Eve of St Agnes, jonka Tori mainitsee Opheliassa (joka on toinen Millais'n maalaus, taisin laittaa sen AATS-ketjuun):

Jaa, no mun mielestä nää vaikuttaa kiinnostavilta! Ja saahan Tori tehdä biisejä äitinä olemisesta! Toisaalta, Torin symboliikkaan taipuvat sanoitukset tietäen, koko Maybe Californian voi käsittää myös äitiyden "arkkityypin" vertauskuvaksi, eli tuo, mitä Tori nyt on puhunut haastattelussa, hoivavoiman kuolemasta. Nurturing force, kuinka sen vois paremmin suomentaa...?

That Guy

that guy swears he will walk
and carries a chip as big as New York
that guy at night makes me scream
and smashes the best possibilities
that guy just brings his war home
she cries why can’t daddy leave his war outside
that guy when he wants can love
like no other love until the darkness comes
do we make up to break up
do we break up then wake up
to cuts instead of kisses
that guy swears he will walk
and carries a chip as big as New York
that guy cannot seem to see
there’re no other guys
but the one he used to be
do we make up to break up
do we break up then wake up
to cuts instead of kisses
will we make up
will we break up
will I wake up with with that guy

Abnormally Attracted to Sin

Impeccable (picadillo)???
You are off your guard
Pussywillow calls there by the church,
don’t go in if you are abnormally attracted to sin
she may be dead to you but her hips sway
a natural kind of faith
that could give your lost heart a warm chapel
you’ll sleep in her bell tower
and you will simply wake
abnormally attracted to sin
Impeccable (picadillo)???
I know who you are, tales of longing sway
lost without a verse
hymns of swing lay low there by the church
don’t go in if you are abnormally attracted to sin

Joku oli postannu noi @ foorumilla.. en tiedä onko noi sanat sitten kokonaan tossa vai vaan osa.. aika lyhyet sanat olis jos tossa olis kaikki. Ja joku on kai siis kuuntelemalla nuo sanat arvuutellut.. joku joka on sen promo cd:n saanut.. luulisin..

Oscar’s Theme

A warm autumn breeze gliding in
In the distance a tailspin
Languid is Oscar’s theme
He awaits Juliet’s landing
Made to doubt where he is now
If he could just step back and swim
To bliss
Partnership

Warm autumn breeze gliding in
In the distance a tailspin
Languid is Oscar’s theme
He awaits Juliet’s landing
Snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails
Yes throw the reins over
You’re made with sugar and spice

Warm autumn breeze gliding in
In the distance a tailspin
Languid is Oscar’s theme
He awaits Juliet’s landing

Languid is Oscar’s theme

Sanat @forumzilta. Vaikuttaa aika nätiltä kappaleelta.

languid (comparative more languid, superlative most languid)

Lacking enthusiasm, energy, or strength; drooping or flagging from weakness, fatigue, or lack of energy; indisposed to exertion; sluggish; relaxed: as, languid movements; languid breathing.
Jonathan Swift — As love without esteem is capricious and volatile; esteem without love is languid and cold.
Heavy; dull; dragging; wanting spirit or animation; listless; apathetic.

Aika taiteelliset sanat jotenkin tuossa Oscar's Theme:ssä.. tuskin sitten kertoo Torin koirasta? hehe.. mistä lienee kertookaan..

Voi se silti kertoa, mainitaanhan tuossa "puppy dogs tails".

Niin no.. onhan koirat usein laiskoja ja ne vaan makaa.. hehe.. Tää kohta vaan ei oikein kerro et se olis koirasta :

If he could just step back and swim
To bliss
Partnership

Snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails
Yes throw the reins over
You’re made with sugar and spice

Eikös nämä ole siitä lorusta, missä luetellaan mistä pojat on tehty? (en muista miten se suomeksi menee, mutta päättyy kuitenkin "koiran hännän tupsuista") tytöt sitten on tehty sokerista ja kanelista ym ym...

Mutta tietty Torin tyyliin tähän voi littyä kaksi yhdessä kulkevaa teemaa...
