Tori herself seems to be quite eclectic in her musical tastes, and I`m *extremely* glad that I am.. (except that this means I want *more* CD`s than I would if my tastes were limited to, say alternative rock.. ;)). angie; "On the boundary" is great, one of my favorites, as are "Fire on the side"(I think this song is beautiful!), "Cool on your island" and "Floating City". The lyrics.. well, what *if* her songs are about money and cars.. we all need some songs about money and cars every once in a while ! =) I`ll take my piece of decadence.. [I am, afterall, an old-school Manic Street Preachers-fan ;) ] As for not liking *all* of Tori`s stuff..well, I don`t like everything she`s done. I don`t like "Humpty Dumpty" much, and I always skip "Professional widow".. but who cares about that..? Tori is still my favorite artist in the whole world =) Lisa The EWF in Norway "Music is the best medicine for everything" Jim Jarmusch ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 11:03:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Lady Eorann Subject: Re: Virgin Megastore On Wed, 22 Oct 1997, w4barron wrote: > So, I head straight to the singles section, with the faintest glimmer of > hope that they would have some of her singles, and you know what? THEY HAD > MANY OF THEM!!! Yes, I too was surprised to find they had almost all the US singles! Wow. I was a little disappointed though, that they had import CDs for Hanson but only one import CD for Tori (the import version of BfP with the remix of PW instead of Voodoo--blech!). Otherwise the place was pretty amazing! I also found the two "limited edition" (shyeah, right!) vinyls (pink UtP and clear BfP) for $10.99 each, which was a pretty cool find, if you ask me! :) They had at least two copies of each, too! > Anyhoo...if you happen to be in the Orland area...check this place out!!! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area--lots of good stuff and most at decent prices, too. :) Bright Blessings and Lollipops!

I myself absolutely adore two of the songs from YKTR, "Etienne" and "Floating City" (I know, those who know me think, "no surprise there"), but the others are not my favorites, though some are pretty good 80's rock. I like most types of music as well, at least *some* of it, but what I tend to dislike is what's generally played on the radio... From Loreena McKennit, Pauline Oliveros to Bikini Kill, Babes in Toyland, Jimi Hendrix (Tori must like his stuff as she makes references to it, and covers it as well), but really can't say I appreciate *all* types equally - I prefer Monteverdi to Bach, but tend to not listen to much classical lately ... a couple of years at the Conservatory, and you kinda get burnt out on it ;-( > Tori herself seems to be quite eclectic in her musical tastes, and I`m > *extremely* glad that I am.. (except that this means I want *more* CD`s > than I would if my tastes were limited to, say alternative rock.. ;)). alternative rock has got to be the biggest joke in the world - a category designed to make the cd-buying youth think that they're rebelling - give me a break --- you don't ever find anything that challenges the status quo on these stations (well, they did play "God" for a while so I guess that's not absolute, but......) > angie; "On the boundary" is great, one of my favorites, as are "Fire on the > side"(I think this song is beautiful!), "Cool on your island" and "Floating > City". These are some of my more-well-liked songs on YKTR... > The lyrics.. well, what *if* her songs are about money and cars.. we all > need some songs about money and cars every once in a while ! =) > I`ll take my piece of decadence.. [I am, afterall, an old-school Manic > Street Preachers-fan ;) ] I think we all agree that Tori's not into asceticism, and not likely to renounce all worldly posessions and take to begging for rice... - -Richard. @ \@/ Richard A.

Btw, this song has some content similarities to Joni Mitchell's "The Conversation". It also has lots of differences (one being H,IMH is not at all possessive IMO). Anyone else see that?

I use green to mean young, naive, etc. The other girl is the apple green ice cream cause she's sweet and all, but she can't tough it out. He's looking for somebody strong (the bow and the belt?) and the narrator is assuring him that she won't melt in his hands like apple green ice cream. At least that's what I think...
