Tori Amos - The Beekeeper sync TODAY 7:30pm 🐝

[Iguana]

Oh was her mother sick or something then? I just remember it going on FOREVER and being extremely uncomfortable.

But then that's pretty much the Tori Amos album experience too

Her mother had been very ill and that's the main premise of the song (but she survived, and you get the line of the Beekeeper/death saying "I'm passing you by, but don't be confused - one day I'll be coming for you" at the end of the song), but her brother Michael did die in a motorcycle accident in the same year (and he's referred to in the line "Send this message to Michael"). So yeah it's still pretty intense anyway!

Omigosh! This is actually one of my favourite Tori albums! I thought everyone else hated it.

 

[Iguana]

Why are you all voting for a group with Ireland in it? I'm AGOG

They all own Saabs.

1. Desert garden
2. The orchard
3. Elixirs and herbs
4. The greenhouse (heavily brought down by the blight on humanity known as Ireland)
5. Roses and thorns
6. Rock garden (poor Cars and Guitars, it really got a rough grouping)

That's not a political comment, to be clear.

Oh I love Cars and Guitars, but Hoochie Woman and Witness (apart from the end) are not for me

 

[jivafox]

There is one despicable moment in “Hoochie Women” that is my all time worst Tori moment of ALL TIME.

 

[Iguana]

Is it "PO-A-EH-TRAY"?

 

[jivafox]

It's it "PO-A-EH-TRAY"?

It isn’t but I’d forgotten about that

 

[straightorbroken]

Is this playlist including b-sides and such? I see this opus lasts 80 minutes.

 

[jivafox]

There is one b-side - but it's over 8 minutes long.

 

[Iguana]

@dUb You should be angry at Tori, not me.

If anyone fancies warming up you can watch this lovely video of Tori chatting absolute bollocks.

 

[straightorbroken]

I was watching her round table with Justin Timberlake and a few other boys and it didn't disappoint.

I think this was probably her worst time for talking shit, probably joint with the ADP era. Fortunately she became a lot more coherent after those few years!

 

[Iguana]

Still, she looks lovely there.

Well, I got five minutes in before turning it off.

 

[jivafox]

The way she talks about how loads of the songs just got into her Saab during drives around Cornwall and refused to get out. The whole album is one big carjack and that makes total sense!

Well I'm listening . I'm pretty sure I haven't listened to any of it (besides Original Sinsuality this morning)

 

[Tisch]

Oh to be a seeded woman right now

 

[straightorbroken]

Well it's nice that midway through we get a hook. These bits are nice.
