Tori Amos shares a crumpet with Matt Pinfield
“In this latest edition of 120 Seconds, Matt Pinfield sits down with Tori Amos, and along with having some baked goods and giant glasses of tea, the two discuss her latest record, Night of Hunters, and how her cover of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” transformed the song from grunge hit to delicate piano ballad.”
“Tori Amos has made music history with her new Deutsche Grammophon album Night of Hunters, becoming the first woman ever to simultaneously land on Billboard’s Classical, Alternative and Rock Charts all in the Top 10. Her critically acclaimed new disc debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover and Classical Overall Charts, while also nabbing the #5 position on the Alternative Chart and #7 on the Rock Chart.”
Yes!
Seriously. Best song of the album and Tori hardly singing it. So I’m re-blogging again. She was only 10 when she recorded this… and damn… she’ll have a voice when she gets a bit older. Indie royalty for sure.
Job’s Coffin is some type of constellation.. so it makes a bit more sense.
The lyrics are pure genius, I am sooo in love with this song right now.
Anabelle:
Job’s coffin looks down
Job’s coffin looks down
to see what mankind is gonna do
there is a grid of disempowerment
and forces are being called to dismantle this
as Job’s Coffin looks down
Job’s Coffin looks down
to see what you’re gonna do
there exists a power of old
who wanted Earth to be controlled
but she and she alone is her own
she is her own
Job’s coffin looks down
Job’s coffin looks down
Tori:
And can be proud
proud of what I have done
since time why do we women
give ourselves away
we give ourselves away
thinking somehow that will make him
want to stay
make him stay
Anabelle:
Job’s coffin looks down
at the day you shut your power down
you must out-create that destructive tendency
let your fire starter hear the fury
sister it’s time to bring it back on line
as Job’s coffin looks down
Job’s coffin looks down
to see what you’re gonna do
to see what you’re gonna do

Oh man, this is just beautiful. I’ve listened three times in a row, it’s gorgeous. Motherfukas try and doubt Tori now! This woman is a musical genius!

Watching this right now, if I wasn’t in school I think I’d cry.
