![]() Hey Jupiter EP (1996) [ larger cover art ] |
No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
And this little masochist
She's ready to confess
All the things that I never thought
That she could feel and
Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay? Are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
And I thought I wouldn't have to be
With you as something new
Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my heart's soaking wet
Boy, your boots can leave a mess
Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay? Are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
And I thought you wouldn't have to keep
With me hiding
Thought I knew myself so well
All the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
For a girl who couldn't choose between
The shower or the bath
And I thought I wouldn't have to be
With you a magazine
No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought I could never feel
The things I feel and
Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay? Are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you safe now we're through?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Hey Jupiter

I never understand the constant comparisons to Kate Bush (another huge talent). Maybe the similarities had some merit in Tori's earlier career, but seriously...I don't see it now. Just what I've been wondering about, being a huge fan of Kate but not so much of Tori... BUT now I'm in a tight spot, because I've listened to this song again after liking it the first time - and, ha ha, suddenly I hear very well how close her singing alone is *close* to Bush's. But NOT mimicking/imitating. It just reminds me of Kate. As for the versions, having checked out the 'acoustic' one, I find them both beautiful... but I like the Dakota better. Most of the time, the first version of anything musical I hear is the one that will stick. This might encourage me to have yet another go at Tori's music. To see if I can connect with it. I respect her music, it's well written, produced and she sounds sincere; I just never found my way to liking it, that's all. |

| nicolewe | Posted: Aug 15, 2010 - 14:27 Eh, so-so. I'm just grateful that RP is working. The whole morning I was stressing about why it wasn't playing...figured out it was the 'sound' button on my player. oops. So glad it's back for my Sunday listening pleasure. |
| FeydBaron (Phoenix, AZ) | Posted: Mar 09, 2010 - 17:47 That's... pretty ethereal. Not a compliment or complaint, it just is. |
| bacampbe (Irving, TX) | Posted: Jan 05, 2010 - 18:54 I really like the original, but not this version. |

| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: Jun 30, 2009 - 16:52 On 90% of her songs I just can't get past her particular "flavor" of vibrato - this song being a good example. Nothing against her personally - I wish I liked her stuff more. |
| sheharazad | Posted: Jun 30, 2009 - 16:50 chilling... |
| akmegan | Posted: Mar 27, 2009 - 16:47 This is beautiful! First time ive ever heard this version. I think I still like the other version best...but this is wonderful. Another RP gem |
| annie_fannie (Idaho) | Posted: Mar 27, 2009 - 16:39 thanks for playing the single version...hard to find! |

I disagree... I love them both, but this one tops the other for me. As for the "Purple Rain" comparison... I'm sure Tori was influenced by that song... she used to do it live a lot. Musically, she was probably paying homage to it. ;) |
| timandjuliet (Colorado, USA) | Posted: Jan 15, 2005 - 11:20 Beautiful song, but the original is much better. |
