Music meme, from Mel
comment on this post and I'll give you a musical artist. You then put your ten favorite songs by that band on your journal and in reply to the comment, then challenge others to do the same.
Mel picked for me (brace yourselves) - Tori Amos...
You have no idea how hard it was to narrow down the 50-somthing songs I love of hers to only ten... Words behind the cuts.
snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
wipe my nose
get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
when i think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"you must learn to stand up for yourself
cause i can't always be around"
he says when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear
boys get discovered as winter MELTS
flowers competing for the sun
years go by and i'm here still waiting
withering where some snowman was
mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
but I only can see myself
SKATING around the truth who i am
but I know dad the ice is getting thin
when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear
hair is grey and the fires are burning
so many dreams on the shelf
you say i wanted you to be PROUD of me
I always wanted that myself
when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna change so fast
all the WHITE HORSES have gone ahead
I tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear
never change
all the white horses
on my way up north
up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood
and I was talking to you
and I knew then it would be
a Life Long thing
but I didn't know that we
We could break a silver lining
And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
I tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
You said that-
You'd take it
as long as I could
I could not erase it
And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
and I ride along side
and I rode along side
you then
and I rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
And I rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
I had to steal it
and I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
I could pick back up
whenever I feel
Down New Mexico way
something about
the open road
I knew that he was
looking for some Indian Blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
Impostors
in this country you know
So we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
Oliver Stone
till I
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
I don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us
And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
and I was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and I was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the Rear
View
you lost me
I said
Way up North I took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and I put the Hood
right back where
You could taste heaven
perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and I - I don't -
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this
maybe i didn't like hear
but i still can't believe speed racer is dead
so then i thought i'd make some plans
but fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
and peggy got a message for me, from jesus
and i heard every word that you have said
and i know i have been
driven like the snow
but this is cooling
faster then i can
this is cooling
faster then i...
but do i hate what she is
or do i want to be her
and don't we love something fresh
anything new, virgin
woman, you got too many brambles
hiding under these bushes
woman, you got too many brambles
but i always liked a good storm
always good for a storm
so then love walked up to like
said i know that you don't like me much
let's go for a ride
this ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
and is your place in heaven
worth giving up these kisses
these, yes, these kisses
and peggy got a message for me, from jesus
and i heard every word
that you have said
and i know i have been
driven like the snow
but this is cooling
faster than i can
hey...
faster than i can
cooling
this is cooling
this is cooling
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked
he came to light the lamp for everyone
'relax Love'
he said before he left
'take those hands away from your eyes
from where I stand you're in my sky'
you must go
must flee
for they will hunt you down
you and your unborn seed
in all of Gaul
is there safety?
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
You will dance the ring
Marys of the Sea
the lost Bride weeps
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
We will dance your ring
Hey there's a new Jerusalem
Hey you built on rock that's on sand
For now you have hijacked the Son
Last time I checked
he came to light the lamp for everyone
I hear a voice
and it says
'the red of the red rose is it's own
and something no man can divide'
so St. Germain hear the prayer
of this supplicant
for two Scarlet women, Black Madonna
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
I know it's your day in the sun
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked
he came to light the lamp for everyone
never was a cornflake girl
thought that was a good solution
hangin with the raisin girls
she's gone to the other side
givin us a yo heave ho
things are getting kind of gross
and i go at sleepy time
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
peel out the watchword just peel out the watchword
she knows what's going on

all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin on her string bean love
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much
rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
hey you
gender nectar
sifting through the grain of gold
tripping at your door
is that you, alpha in her blood
and when the woman lies
you don't believe her
rolling and unrolling coiling emerging running free
running through the underworld into your room
is he real
or a ghost-lie
she feels she isn't heard
and the veil tears and rages
til her voices are remembered
and his secrets can be told
hey you
gender nectar
crystalline from the vine
you know you'll drink her
rolling and unrolling coiling emerging running free
running through the afterworld into your room
so she prays for a prankster
and lust in the marriage bed
and he waits til she can give
and he waits
and he waits
all the world just stopped now
so you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
let me take a deep breath babe
if you need me, me and neil'll be
hangin' out with the DREAM KING
neil says hi by the way
i don't believe you're leaving cause

you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me
you've never seen well
all the world is
all i am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is DANGLIN'...
danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN'
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
that tear in your hand
maybe i ain't used to maybes
smashing in a cold room
cutting my hands up
every time i touch you
maybe maybe it's time
to wave goodbye now
time to wave goodbye now
caught a ride with the moon
i know i know you well

HAZE all clouded up my mind
in the DAZE of the why
it could've never been

and your "baby baby baby babies"
i tell you there're pieces of me

Pushed

I guess on days
like this
you know who your
friends are
Just another Dead Fag
to you that's all
Just another Light missing
on a long Taxi ride
Taxi ride
And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and
this "We are Oone" crap
as you're invading
This thing you call
Love -- she smiles
way too much but
I'm glad you're
on my side, sure
I'm glad you're on
my side still
You think you deserve
a trust fund
Just because you
Want one
Sure you talk the talk
when you need to
I fear
the whole world is
starting to
Believe you
Just another Dead fag
to you that's all
Just another Light missing
in a long Taxi line
Taxi line
And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and

Bouncing off of Clouds we were
Is there a love Lost and Found
Make it easy
Make this easy
it´s not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal
wrapped in ivy
paint it in mint ice cream
We could be Bouncing off the top of this Cloud
I´ll put on my silver
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
Failure to respond but
I did. But did you listen?
Bouncing off the top of this Cloud
I´ll put on my silver
About what you said, has it come to this?
I´ll put on my silver
Bouncing off the top of this Cloud
Well you can stare all day at the sky
But that won´t bring her back
that won´t bring her back
You say you´re waiting on Fate
But I think Fate is now
I think Fate is now
waiting on us
Make it easy
easy easy
we could make this easy
easy love easy
we could make this easy
make this easy
it´s not as heavy as it seems
make this easy
make this easy
it´s not as heavy as it seems
wrapped in metal
wrapped in ivy
blue umbrellas smiling
We could be Bouncing off the top of this Cloud
I´ll put on my silver
About what you said, has it come to this?
I´ll put on my silver
Bouncing off the top of this Cloud
i´ll put on my silver
About what you said, has it come to this?
I´ll put on my silver
Bouncing off of Clouds
we were
vultures in my garden
figures that I know them
and it is what it is
you were good once
now you're filled with bitterness
and it is what it is
I cannot forget
that he can't forget her
or that some friends just
change like the seasons
take me back to the fact
that you still blame me
but I am not the reason
you are Not David Bowie
Not David Bowie
now you want to steal
the thoughts
that I haven't even thought
and it is what it is
how bout your soul
made a pact with the Devil
but needs a date with the surgeon
and it is what it is
I cannot forget
that he can't forget her
or that some friends just
change like the seasons
take me back to the fact
that you still blame me
but I am not the reason
you are Not David Bowie
Not David Bowie
you forgot to value
all of us that bled for you
and it is what it is
you swore you were conscious
not a champagne spiritualist
and it is what it is
I cannot forget
that he can't forget her
