Who is this about? I've had several thoughts - Mary magdelene, Mary the mother of Christ, marianne, or Tori's mom.. The referrences about butterflies don't belong in nets make me think of Marianne, as well as the growing up isn't always fun, ribbons, etc.. What about "Mary, you're bleeding.." Anyone have any thoughts? Take care, Angela~*~* ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 09:18:17 -0500 (CDT) From: "raisin girl" Subject: "Mary" angela wrote: * I am wondering about the song "Mary".

Anyone have any * thoughts? i think this song is inspired by a jimi hendrix song. in this song he says 'and the wind cries 'mary'' and in tori's song, she says 'like jimi said.' i think tori's character 'mary' is the same as jimi's and she is just continuing the story... you might want to listen to the hendrix song. i think tori has been influenced greatly by jimi and others...(led zepplin) i think it's on the _experience_ album... raisin girl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ birthname: leah ellis business grrrl & dj 573.341.4272 !also! kmnr 89.7 fm lellis@umr.edu hear me: 12.5-3 thursdays univ.of mo. rolla see me: 573.341.9247 www.umr.edu/~lellis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...and this little masochist is lifting up her dress --tori amos ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 16:46:22 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeannie Cook Subject: losing my religion oook...i've been meaning to ask this for a while now, but i forgot. im not sure if my boyfriend was losing his mind or what...but he swears that he saw tori in DC towards the beginning of the dew drip inn tour and she told this story: she said that some ppl came to her to make a song for a movie or something, and *she* wrote "losing my religion" and the people did not like it. they said they wanted something more like bryan adams or something. she of course laughed at this and said something like "bryan and i are friends but...common" or something. ok now the thing that confuses me here is i've always though that stipe wrote losing my religion. as picky as REM is about using their own lyrics and not "selling out" (microsoft offered them MILLIONS of dollars for "end of the world as we know it" for the win95 ad...they refused) and anyway i looked in my REM _out of time_ case and there is no mention of anyone but REM writing those lyrics. so...is my boyfriend losing his mind? was anyone at this show? (i dont know the date or the place...forgot to ask him...somewhere in or near DC the first time she was there on the bfp tour) or has anyone else heard anything about tori writing these lyrics? losing my religion, jeannie :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Jeannie Cook jlc9@Netdoor.Com ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ The difference between everything ~~ ~~ and nothing at all. -Thomas Hardy ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 18:24:19 -0400 (EDT) From: Richard Handal Subject: Re: losing my religion Jeannie asked: > oook...i've been meaning to ask this for a while now, but i forgot. im > not sure if my boyfriend was losing his mind or what...but he swears > that he saw tori in DC towards the beginning of the dew drip inn tour > and she told this story: > she said that some ppl came to her to make a song for a movie or > something, and *she* wrote "losing my religion" and the people did not > like it. I know some other people had been similarly confused about how she phrased that that night, and also due to how they may have not heard every word of what she said very clearly. She began to speak of the duet song she wrote and performed with Michael Stipe for the film Don Juan Demarco, and then played Losing My Religion after telling the anecdote you recounted about the duet song, which has yet to be released in any form. > so...is my boyfriend losing his mind? He was just a bit confused, is all. He probably knew nothing of the Stipe duet and didn't hear what she said very clearly. > was anyone at this show? I was, and it was the first show I saw on the DDI tour. It was in Constitution Hall on April 26, 1996.

I don't think she went to college. She moved to Los Angeles when she was about 20. That's where she did YKTR. She lived in England for a few years at some point. I'm not sure what city or exactly when that was. I believe that she now lives in New Mexico. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have this boot! This is what Tori said... Some of it, I couldn't understand... But I tried my best... ****************************************************************************= ** "How are you guys? Some of you know me kinda personally, so I'll tell this little story. I thought I was gonna have a good experience with movies, you know? In Hollywood? And not as an actor, I'm terrible. But as... you know... a little sone in a little movie, a plate from my kitchen? [I'm not sure about the plate part] Some thing like that... Anyways, and so I was gonna do this thing. And I did. With a really, really, wonderful, wonderful guy. He's pretty amazing. So we turned it in, right? And they said, 'this sucks'. And I said, 'well, what do you want it do do?'. And they said, 'well, we want it to be romantic'. And I said, 'well, I find this very romantic' I said its really a perception, isn't it? And they said, 'well, we thought it was going to be like Bryan Adams'. And I like Bryan Adams! Brian is like a buddy. But I said, 'How could you have ever thought that if I'm goinna sing a love song, its gonna be about that?' And so they said, 'Well, um, you know, we just can't have that.' And I said, 'you know, thats just fine, cuz I love this love song. And one day, this little song, is gonna be a little greentroll, and some people in this world, like green trolls..." ****************************************************************************= *** And then she plays Losing my Religion...

Tori Amos Setlist Summary http://acc.jc.edu/~serstad/toriset.html It is only as good as the raw information he had to work with from Mike Whitehead's website with the setlists though, and the occasional non-standardized spellings on there threw a bit of a monkey wrench into the thing from time to time, but it's pretty decent, I have to say. I also wanted to add that the first time she performed Etienne was on April 28 in Washington, D.C., and it was on the piano, as opposed to all the other times on the tour, which I believe were on the harmonium.
