    Tori gay fans: Can you make a dance song for us!
    Tori: Here! dance to this...a song about cunnilingus 🤣

    I knew a guy in the military who said that Raspberry Swirl was his favorite work out song of all time. He would go to the track field to run and all the army guys were warming up with this song back in the 90's.

    Tori could play Mozart by ear on piano at age 2. And was/remains to be the youngest person accepted into the Peabody Institute at age 5. I definitely recommend her live stuff. "Blood Roses" from her 1999 Las Vegas performance is pretty intense. "I Can't See New York" live from 2003 is pretty amazing, along with the song itself. And of course, her performance of "Winter" from 1991/1992. There's tons of other live performances that I could point to. Her tour history and discography is just that expansive.

    The funny thing is, your comparison of Tori, Bjork, and PJ Harvey, I remember a magazine cover back in the day, that featured all three of them in a roundtable interview, a quick search found it was "Q" magazine in May 1994.

    I can't imagine this being the first Tori song to hear... it's good, but definitely not really representative of the rest of her catalog. Try 'Caught a Lite Sneeze' or "Precious Things" -- she's a GOAT, really top 3 for for me all time amongst female artists. Amazing piano player (child prodigy, started playing at age 2), incredible songwriter, lyricist, and producer. She doesn't get nearly enough credit for how good she's been for a very long time. I saw her in 1998 and was completely blown away... what stage presence.. what a jawdroppingly beautiful woman. She's everything.

    Definitely check out more, she's got a wide variety of styles, her piano and compositions are superb! This album is more of her electronic exploration had lots of remixes too, I loved it, was great live! But all her stuff is diverse & beautiful, she's got a series of personalities she channels to bring all the different unique styles.

    You managed to pick one of the most anomalous Tori Amos songs out there. It’s her only straight up dance song, although there has been a lot of dance remixes her songs over the years. If you check out anything else from her, you’re going to find that she’s probably the most skilled pianist in popular music in the last 30 years, and her use of the piano is very dynamic.

      @@AlexHaitz Yeah, just as a reference, she is a piano prodigy who played classical compositions as a toddler and she was the youngest person (age five) ever admitted to the Peabody Conservatory of music, on a schoarship for her piano virtuosity.
      She's an extraordinary pianist, but she's also a brilliant lyrical poet and thinker.
      Most comparisons between her and Kate Bush are entirely superficial, but one that holds up is that both are just brilliant artists of a type the music industry rarely promotes. Tori just wrapped a tour and she issued her latest album-which is gorgeous-last fall. She's still going strong and just one of the most artistically ingenius and intelligent people out there.

    Your comment about tori - bork - PJ is very accurate... / From this album I would have chosen for you the song “Spark” / and from her complete repertoire.... Well there is a lot good of material to choose from, especially from her first 5 albums. / LP “boys for pele” is a master experiement on pianos and lyrics, but maybe not to hear for the first time. instead you could try first or second álbum.

      He also mentionned Kate Bush which is even more acurate, especially in Tori's first 3 albums. "From the Choirgirl Hotel" could also be associated with KB's "The Dreaming" for it's will to experiment and change the rules. "Raspberry Swirl" reminds me some aspects of "Sat in your Lap" (not lyrically of course) despite their obvious differences.
      I know many Tori Amos's fans reject the comparisons with Kate Bush which I can't partly understand as her work is definitely her own stuff but the parallel (and I'm not talking about inspiration) between both those great artists can't be denied. Nevertheless, I agree with the fact that what both express and how they do it is also very different.

    Tori is a brilliant artist in every respect. I hope you will listen to more of her music. Raspberry Swirl definitely is not representative of what to expect sonically, but Tori's music is a genre unti itself (It really is; that's not hyperbole.), and so there really is no one song to recommend that encapsulates her work. I can recommend 20 or 30 to start with. :)

    Without the likes of Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Kate Bush, etc. there would not be a Tori.
    She is soooo awesome.
    Sexy, smart, creative.
    Unique.
    This is one of my favourite songs from Tori.
    But.
    She has some great songs!
    One of a kind despite her parallels with other artist.
    Watch her play.
    She is so much more when watching her. It’s like you can’t really get her music unless you watch her perform.
    Then.
    You’ll be addicted.

    I think "piano rock" is what Tori was going for when she first started, but this wouldn't be an accurate description of most of her catalog. While I like Raspberry Swirl, it's among my least favorite. Please listen to the rest of From The Choirgirl Hotel, and then listen to her other albums, especially the earlier ones.
