Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze
It is time for the geese to head south
I have come with my mustard seed
I cannot accept that she will be taken from me

"Do you know who I am," she said
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time
Don't be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow somewhere
Tomorrow somewhere"

Wrap yourself around the Tree of Life
And the Dance of the Infinity of the Hive
Take this message to Michael

I will comb myself into chains
In between the tap dance clan
And your ballerina gang
I have come for the Beekeeper
I know you want my, you want my Queen
Anything but this
Can you use me instead?

"Do you know who I am," she said
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time
Don't be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow somewhere
Tomorrow somewhere"

In your gown with your breathing mask on
Plugged into a heart machine
As if you ever needed one
I must see the Beekeeper
I must see if she'll keep her alive
Call Engine Forty Nine
I have come with my mustard seed

"Do you know who I am," she said
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time
Don't be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow somewhere
Tomorrow somewhere"

Maybe I'm passing you by
Just passing you by, girl
I'm just passing you by
On my way
On my way
I'm just passing you by
But don't be confused
One day I'll be coming for you
I must see the Beekeeper
I must see the Beekeeper

I really like the low-key quality to this song. Opposite of in your face, and that's nice because I need my personal space.

Not my favorite song of hers. But Tori is an amazing artist. Glad to see her played.

it's about her mom
"in your gown, with your breathing mask on"
Her mother is still alive today though. She survived.

What does it mean, "I have come with my mustard seed"??

It's really not fair to play this at three in the afternoon (EST). I'm having enough trouble staying awake, and then Tori starts into this lullaby and I'm yawning. Love the song, but in about 8 hours. kthx.

Solo female artistes can struggle to sound individual IMO, and I cant see what the fuss is about Ms Amos. But I would throw water over her if she was on fire. In fact, I think I might throw water over her even if she wasn't on fire!

I first got into her music with Under the Pink... when I listen to it now it takes me right back to that time in my life. Then my co-worker (who I would have never pegged for a Tori Amos fan) turned me on to Scarlet's Walk, which I would recommend even more strongly. The thing with her music is that you have to turn up the volume to immerse yourself in the orchestration... whether it's the symphonic feel of "Yes, Anasthasia" or the rich microphone-right-down-in-the-piano sound of "Cornflake Girl." As for this particular track, I can take it or leave it... but I'm going to remember to put in Scarlet's Walk at work tomorrow.

This is not my favorite Tori song (although she is my favorite performer). But she is extraordinarily profound. I read that a "Beekeeper" refers to someone who tends to the gardens of our lives and keeps them pollinated and flourishing.

I wish Tori would make a solo piano record - no voice, no other instrumentation. Just piano. Now THAT i bet would be ass-kicking. She's talented undeniably, just don't care for her music. It just has this cold quality to me.

Well stated. One thing I appreciate immensely is singers that also write their own music and lyrics. Add to that an ability to play an instrument, and their stock rises in my book. What you describe about her piano playing abilities will have me listening for that when I hear her music again. I was completely unaware of that. Regarding the difficulties of her past, those are weighty matters and I can appreciate them being included in her lyrics. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. chillynne wrote:
I appreciate your civility, a courtesy that's all too rare on these boards. I don't think one can "relegate" Tori to "angry white girrrl" music because she sort of preceded/helped found expressionistic female music. Her piano skills are incontrivertible; she was admitted to the Peabody Conservatory at, I believe, age 5. It's not so much her "daddy" that's influenced her work as her rapist, her multiple miscarriages, and later, her heritage. If you listen to her albums chronologically, you'll see that early in her career she addresses personal issues and later moves on to global issues including politics and religion (although the later is evident all through her career). She has indeed "gotten over" her personal tragedies, something that many of her fans (selfishly) rue. Honestly, you personally may not be missing anything, at least lyrics-wise. The songs either resonate with you or they don't. However, the piano-playing is a force to be reckoned with. If you'd like, I can email you a couple incredible live versions of songs with great solos. Hope this helps.

It's poignant that a Sarah McLachlan song came on after this. Sarah nearly always sounds soulful, sorrowful and passionate – and that works. Tori just sounds like she needs a big glass of wine and a valium. To my ear, Sarah needs to keep doin what she's doin. Tori needs psychotherapy. So, what is it that people see in Tori's work? Here is your chance to tell me what I'm missing. Thank you for your support.

Listening to much of Tori Amos -- especially this track -- feels like someone is trying to trick me into thinking it's Kate Bush-- but with far less depth. This cut in particular annoys the hell out of me for some reason.

The smirk is because she knows that even when she releases mediocre (for her) albums with lyrics including "driving in my saab/on my way to ireland" and "Yes my little pony is growing up fast/She corrects me and says/'You mean a thoroughbred'', obsessed fools like me still love her.

Good album...I've been a Tori fan for a while, and she's great live, though this year it seems her NY date sold out either within 1 second or before they even went on sale it was that fast...leaving many many fans behind, a growing trend with live artists these days...which unfortunately the artists can't do very much about.
Same for the DC show. I love tori so much it was really dissappointing. I found some not tooo horrific tx for sale on ebay so i bought them. I know she won't let me down, but i hate pay scalpers to see her. i wish they would only sell these types of tix at local venues to keep this type of thing from happening.

"Amos has yet to meet a vowel she can resist contorting" - Maud Dillingham (Christian Science Monitor - 2/25) I like Tori best when she plays with the time signatures, as in "Strange Little Girl." This one may still have to grow on me a bit more.

Tori, I love you. This is one of the many highlights from her new album. You should check out her interview on the DVD that accompanies the Special Edition of her new album. She paints a fascinating portrait of how this 'girl' came into being. Superb!

Good album...I've been a Tori fan for a while, and she's great live, though this year it seems her NY date sold out either within 1 second or before they even went on sale it was that fast...leaving many many fans behind, a growing trend with live artists these days...which unfortunately the artists can't do very much about.

Yeah, it doesn't buy musical talent either.

Really, with all the money she has now, I can no longer buy into the "tortured artist" thing. Her music depresses me. I went to a concert of hers several years ago and I've never seen a more apathetic audience in my life. Gawd.. this song goes on foooorrrreeevvvveeerrrr!

Well, THAT's the triple-header folks. We've had A-BLAND-is, Donald Pagan, and now Story Aimless all within 10 tunes... I think I need to be alone for awhile. Where's my Joshua Tree CD?
