The Always Perfect Timing for Tori Amos to Release a New CD

Yesterday I picked up Tori Amos'new CD and I could not have asked for a better time for this CD to come out with everything that's been going on.
It's funny it seems as if Tori Amos seems to know the right time to relase a new CD. For example, way back in 1996 when I realized my so called friends were just using me and didn't really care/accept me for me. I had her "Boys for Pele" in heavy rotation. Two years later, when I was dealing with a one way crush with a str8 guy, it was Tori's "From the Choirgirl Hotel" that helped me get over him. Now I have her new CD and it's helping me make sense of my life and my dating situation with "J". I actually dedicated one of the songs to him. It's called "Sleeps with Butterflies" and I think it reminds me of our current situation anyway, let's take a look at some of the lyrics............

Airplanes take you away again
Are you flying above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like the rivers that rush in so then
I dove in
is there trouble ahead for you
the acrobat
I won't push you unless you've got a net
You say the word you know
I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
and I believe
that I'm worth comming home
to kiss the night away
This girl only sleeps with butterflies.......

Although this song probably has a different meaning when Tori wrote it, but the thing that makes good art is when a person can look into something and relate to it and make it his/her own as I can do with Tori Amos' music. All in all, I'm definitely enjoying this new CD and I highly reccomend it........LOL this blog has become an advertisement
