Tori Amos - The Beekeeper sync TODAY 7:30pm 🐝

[RJN]

You say the word you know I will find you
or if you need some time I don't mind
I don't hold on to the tail of your kite

I think THIS has been my favorite bit of the album so far

 

[jivafox]

The ridiculous video

 

[Ig Komme]

The song noone knew they wanted from Tori. It's sweet

 

[straightorbroken]

I can only assume she had a lovely day out at the garden centre for this one.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The ridiculous video

Worst

 

[Ig Komme]

Do you think she was trying to replicate fairytale but it didn't quite work out that way?

 

[jivafox]

Love the single cover too

[Ig Komme]

Now General Joy is my jam

 

[straightorbroken]

Loving the general vibe anyway.

 

[RJN]

Where is @gnl/@lamb. I thought he'd be a fan

 

[straightorbroken]

Madame didn't want to peak too early, she's got some momentum here.

 

[Ig Komme]

About 8 years ago I was in a club with @Tisch and we sang "General Joy. General joy. General joy" over every song that came on. I have no idea why

 

[Cerro de Casa]

'General Joy' is where it starts to slip for me...

 

[jivafox]

This feels like a very Scarlet song

 

[Ig Komme]

To dye to perm to change your hair
OR YOU WIFE

 

[straightorbroken]

The most studio stoned from her so far (as opposed to just stoned).

 

[jivafox]

In 2001, Tori performed a lullaby for her daughter, Natashya, on Radio 3 in Poland. The lullaby had lyrics that are similar to some in General Joy, which was recorded 3 years later.

 

[Ig Komme]

The piano is very minimalist here. The drums are doing a lot of the work

 

[straightorbroken]

The melody is reminding me of something else so bad. Will report back whenever it hits.

Doing wonders for our reputation here.

 

[straightorbroken]

In the meantime I've decided Joy is her Joanni.

Did 'Mother Revolution' kill everyone or something? It's gone quiet here

 

[Ig Komme]

Mother Revolution is so gorgeous and haunting.

You could have had me... You could have had me... You could have had me

I sang that to myself when I was 19 about many a breakup

 

[Cerro de Casa]

My eye roll every time she goes 'Llllllllllllucky me...' live... ugh.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Mother Revolution is so gorgeous and haunting.

You could have had me... You could have had me... You could have had me

I sang that to myself when I was 19 about many a breakup

Yeah I used to walk the streets of Normandy at 25 looking dramatically into the distance with this on my DISCMAN.

 

[jivafox]

This one definitely gets better the more it goes along.

 

[Ig Komme]

Did 'Mother Revolution' kill everyone or something? It's gone quiet here

No but the son died probably

 

[straightorbroken]

"Could I eeve that one please?" said Tori at her local baker bakers.

 

[jivafox]

Ribbons Undone giveth me the feels

I'll let @Iguana tell the story about the live version though

 

[Cerro de Casa]

RIBBONS UNDONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[straightorbroken]

Her pronunciation of "you could've had me boy" has just set me off into giggles.

 

[RJN]

Idk why, but the description of the album from genius is great

"The Beekeeper is an album with many songs and a lot of Tori-Esqe concept"

 

[jivafox]

The chorus is beautiful anyway.

 

[Ig Komme]

I like Ribbons Undone despite how hated it is generally.

HOWEVER there's a version of it on the live bootlegs where she literally sings it all the way through TWICE. WHY??
