Well, if I must pick just one I have to say Almost Rosey, but Sister Janet is definitely a fave as well. Cool on Your Island is up there in my world right now too since it (unfortunately) applies to a current lover... I also love, love, love Take to the Sky, Northern Lad, and 1,000 Oceans. I haven't heard Father's Son or Roosterspur Bridge live yet so I'd love to hear any or all of those before the tour ends! Strange, Secret Spell, Concertina, Fairytale, and Black Dove are among my favorites too. My favorite cover is Case of You, but Tori really rocked Landslide last night in Oakland. It's been a Pretty Good Year! ;-)

My favorite song is Lust. It was my song when I was 16. That is when I was coming out of the closet and I saw myself as the gender nectar. The best line was till her voices are remembered and his secrets can be told. That is how I felt at the time. I was lucky enough to be able to request this song in Dallas and she of course sang it for me.

The Tori Amos song that hits close to home for me has always been 'Space Dog'. It switches gears alot and is about communication & miscommunication. Perfect.

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 10:41:27 -0800

Favorite song is "Glory of the 80's"

ewf4tori

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 09:55:57 -0800

I have many favorite songs from Tori Amos, for several reasons; however, I'd have to say that my favorite new song would have to be "Dark Side of the Sun." And the reason being is because my little brother will be joining the army, something the rest of the family disagrees with, yet we remain supportive of his decision. In it, Tori conveys a message of a useless war, which is how I feel now. As I mentioned, many songs I love, but as usual, Tori is always there, musically, to encourage me, push me, and help me through the hardest times... DARK SIDE OF THE SUN!

Honestly, can you really choose among all of them? But today, if I were forced to choose (and I guess I am being forced), I would have to say RASPBERRY SWIRL, especially the version she is doing on this tour.

deannavaldez

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 07:27:36 -0800

I do love "A Sorta Fairytale"..."up on the Ventura/101" (fwy) but my current favorite song is My Posse Can Do.
