Tori Amos, Flavor
from the forthcoming album Gold Dust
A rare solo performance of “Muhammad My Friend” by Tori Amos — a new version unique to the Original Sinsuality tour, from September 5, 2005, in Denver, Colorado.
“If I never had a physical relationship again,” she emphasizes, “I would be completely sexually satisfied just by playing music. And I’m not just talking about physical response. I’m talking about every chakra. I’m talking about a transcendence, when you’re fully aligned with creativity. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does happen, it usually happens in performance. Because there’s something about not being able to repeat yourself, about it being alive, about the dangerous side of performance, about being exposed. And when it’s achieved, there’s a sense of wholeness. You’re not separate from the piece. It’s fully integrated within your being.”
keyboard magazine article, 2005 (via yessaid)
from alex of boycotting trends (tumblr & blogspot):
On which Tori takes that most familiar of rock music topics - the horny guy’s come-on - and turns up the heat, not ironizing the song’s lustful appeal but simply *inhabiting* it and thereby transforming it into one woman’s expression of desire for another. The result is one of her sexiest-ever covers. Or as Christie Keith puts it: “Bruce Springsteen may be an honorary lesbian just for writing so many love songs that become even hotter when sung by a woman. Add to that the liquid sex of Tori Amos’ voice growling, ‘Hey, little girl, is your daddy gone, did he go out and leave you all alone?’, and it’s possible lesbian cover song nirvana is at hand.”
