"A private rite of passage" - but it's not private, it's being seen by all the horny boys

a sorta fairyland is THE Tori pop moment for me. It IS summer, regret and beauty.

Wig.

I'll forgo the track title posts as the Polaroids are better!

I had a proper OMG I HAVE CRY moment when I first heard it.

 

[TiShh]

A Sorta Fairytale straight away feels really 'HOT' to me. Hot sticky and humid. It really sets a scene.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

"A Sorta Fairytale" was a big hit on US radio. I think "Spark" is still her highest charting single on the BB Hot 100 but I wouldn't be surprised if "A Sorta Fairytale" was the bigger radio hit..

 

[jivafox]

My favourite Tori song I think. Utter beauty and splendour and always brings tears to my eyes.

And I’m so sad
Like a good book
I can’t put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you

 

[Ig Komme]

I adore the production on it. It's so breezy but packs such a punch

 

[TiShh]

In fact, my jumper's coming off! #oioi

 

[jivafox]

I had a proper OMG I HAVE CRY moment when I first heard it.

Same!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I remember the loons not being very happy with it though at the time. I used to post on @Forumz (later Unforumzed, later defunct) and most of them didn't like how 'commercial' it was and apparently thought she copied Jewel.

Anyway..

It's PROBABLY my favourite Tori song too. It's certainly my most played

I have one ready for every track, hope you don’t mind

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Feel bitter with Oliver Stone


Ugh QUEEN

 

[Ig Komme]

I have one ready for every track, hope you don’t mind

Not at all! I thought about doing the same earlier today but couldn't be arsed

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I mean that chorus with the combination of the lyrics, the piano and the guitar. Ugh kill me.

 

[jivafox]

Until you lost me
in the rear view...

 

[Ig Komme]

I was riding along til you lost me, til you lost me in the rearview...

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Riding along
Till you lost me
Till you lost me
You

In the rearview
You
Lost
Me

 

[jivafox]

 

[Ig Komme]

Until you lost me
in the rear view...

This line first crops up in an early improved version of Apollo's Frock from I THINK 1996

 

[Ig Komme]

Until you lost me
in the rear view...

I was riding along til you lost me, til you lost me in the rearview...

Riding along
Till you lost me
Till you lost me
You

In the rearview
You
Lost
Me

I think we like this line

 

[jivafox]

Always felt Wednesday straight after that beautiful ending of ASF is SO disgustingly JARRING.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

08 Amber Waves
10 A Sorta Fairytale

 

[TiShh]

I like Wednesday but if feels oddly placed on the album to me.

 

[Ig Komme]

Always felt Wednesday straight after that beautiful ending of ASF is SO disgustingly JARRING.

Agreed. Wednesday is quite cryptic as well, I've never quite known what it's about.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Always felt Wednesday straight after that beautiful ending of ASF is SO disgustingly JARRING.

Yeah it's fun and jaunty and 'silly Tori' but it does feeling jarring. I do like it though.

 

[Ig Komme]

08 Amber Waves
10 A Sorta Fairytale

Oh my, ranking this album is difficult

08 amber waves
11 a sorta fairytale

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Lost in a place called
America

I think it's important touchstone rather than a song on the album.

'Strange' took a while to click with me, but it's a firm favourite now. So lush. I love the big piano. The first time on the album we've heard it really.

 

[Ig Komme]

Strange is LUSH. The lyrics are quite simple for her but it works. I quite like the countrified single edit, too

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Now I have always loved 'Strange'. Again, the loons were all going about how cheesy it was but I love myself a straightforward Tori heartbreak song. The string arrangement is gorgeous.

Who else has heard that ridiculous country radio remix?

'I put our snowflake under a microscope' is such a beautiful line.

 

[Ig Komme]

'I put our snowflake under a microscope' is such a beautiful line.

Yes! That's the standout lyric of Strange for me
