Totally Tori Tuesday

One of my favorite things to do with my love of Tori's music is to share it with other friends. A few months ago, I sent some Tori C/D's to Logo, and have just asked her, now that she's been listening to Tori for awhile, which song stands out as her favorite so far.
And so, here is Logo's choice, Putting The Damage On, which is a lovely tune complete with an orchestra accompanying Tori, and you can hear it on Boys For Pele, which is my all time favorite Tori release. I wish you could hear it right now! I have to say, you do have excellent taste, Miss Logo!



glue
stuck to my shoes
does anyone know why you

play with an orange rind
you say you packed my things
and divided what was mine
you're off to the mountain top
i say her skinny legs could use sun
but now i'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best angie dickinson
but now i've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
don't make me scratch on you door
i never left you for a banjo
i only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette
and my impression
of my best angie dickinson
but now i've got to worry
'cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
i'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost
passing through
i said i'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through
it's just your ghost passing through
and now
i'm quite sure
there's a light in your platoon
i never seen a light move
like yours can do to me
so now i'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best angie dickinson
but now i've got to worry
'cause boy you still look pretty
to me
but i've got a place to go
i've got a ticket to your late show
and i'm worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on
yes
when you're putting the damage on
you're just so pretty

when you're putting the damage on




"And of course Damage speaks for itself. The song, being herself damaged, it's trying to teach myself about graciousness, and I have such a hard time with that. I have a very hard time. Damage was so essential for me to sing, it's one of the most difficult ones for me. I can look and have love and feelings for some of these people but... "-- Tori; B Side, 05/96

O. k. I have been curious about this person for some time because so many people list her on their blog profiles. Is there a legal filesharing way to listen to a little of her music?
Sorry for the ignorance. I'm all about classical music.

Pansi ~if you're classical... then I am sure you will love Tori! Lots of piano and a beautiful voice.

Boys for Pele is probably my favorite too... followed closely by Under the Pink. Way to go on recruting Logo!

Happy Tori Tuesday!

For the first 3 albums, I actually rank them in order of release. Then I jump ahead to Scarlet and back. But Boys for Pele is my third favorite CD. My favorite song from that CD is actually Mr. Zebra, cuz I'm weird like that. :) Am also partial to Hey Jupiter. Happy Tori Tuesday.
