Are you trying to say that this song is good for the ears?

This song is soooo good for the external auditory meatus...

It took me a while to warm up to Tori Amos but saw a video of her performance live and appreciated her artistry. Her creativity and energy and committment to her tunes really came through. RP is a perfect place for her. I see some people dislike her but then others might dislike their likes. For me it is this variety and exploration that makes RP work. I can always wait for the next tune.

I saw some tv show where she played this, got blown away, and went out to buy my first TA album.  Unfortunately, this is about the only song on the album that I can listen to.  I think it's the guitar and drumming that appealed to me most.

I've always had the impression that she's really quite big on herself, and I feel that it limits some acceptance of her work. 

Can you actually get addicted to nicotine patches?

Also, LOVE THE TORI, KEEP IT COMIN!

Yes, more than a nod to Kate here, but darned difficult to despise............

As a Kate fan, I have to admit that this is pretty good - more energy than a typical Tori Amos song.

Like them both but I think a celebrity death match between Tori Amos and Kate Bush would be good.

I agree. But with a dis in like. Kate Bush is the real deal.

Yes, it does. As does being the archetype of wasting that talent on melodramatic, egocentric, turgid demonstrations of her inability to evolve.

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but the more I hear her on RP, the more I like Tori Amos.

Oh please. Gratuitous Hitler reference # 8,579. It's an old, unoriginal conceit and completely uncalled for in this case.

She's nuts...but I love her

I agree that Tori might be overplayed on RP, but damn if she doesn't deserve the attention!

I played this album until it was next to death back in the day...it's been awhile since I've heard this track. Thank you!

Love Tori, love this album.

Tori is the youngest person ever admitted to the Peabody/Johns Hopkins Conservatory - at the age of five (5)!!. I think that counts for some talent!

I have loved Tori Amos since 1992. She is fab. I am one of the fans. See her in concert if you can. Hopefully she will be touring the US before long.

Hitler made us think. He also had millions of ardent followers.

Admit it, Tori has something. The fact that she can polarize listeners so profoundly means she must be making some of them THINK. Isn't that what a good artist ought to do on a regular basis?
