H2O in music

Note : the image is a copyright free one that I found and edited. It depicts a drop of water into which I added a musical note clip-art and is also used as the O in the H2O formula representing a water molecule. 

Water is essential to Life as we know it. Water surrounds us, in rivers, lakes, the oceans. They have inspired many authors of fiction and, for this blog's needs, lyricists. So, I thought to share music in regards to this very topic of water, but expand to allegorical uses as well. 

Tori Amos (part 6) - Strange little girls

Album # 6 is a concept and cover album, in which Tori sings 12 songs originally written & sang by men, reinterpreted to a woman’s point of view. As such, one may like the original better over Tori’s, or the other way around… let’s see one by one what I have to say.

Tori Amos - (part 5 ) To Venus and Back

Album #5 ''to venus & back'' (cd1 - ''orbiting'')

out of 11 songs, I dislike only 2, the same 2 as throughout the past year of getting more familiar with Tori's music : Suede (I find her voice too rough, I prefer her sweeter one on other songs), & Datura (too weired for me, still)

Tori Amos - (part 4) - From the choirgirl hotel

Album # 4 ''from the choirgirl hotel'' I loved 11 songs out of 12 (92%), disliking only ''she's your cocaïne'', due to the vocals and arrangements in the last minute & half... if it hadn't been for that, I might have given it an 8 just like ''iieee'' ; ''playboy mommy'' & ''pandora's aquarium''.

Tori Amos - (part 3) - Boys for pele

Album # 3, ''Boys for Pele'' which my wife thought I’d hate… Well, I liked.... ***roll drums*** 13 out of 18 songs, a score neither of us imagined.

Here, I prefer to display the back cover.

Tori Amos - (part 2) - Under the Pink

Album # 2 ''Under the pink''.

A) I loved all 12 songs on it, tho I liked less ''the waitress'' (rated 8) ; ''past the mission'' & ''Cornflake girl'' (rated 7), ALL the other ones I really liked and scored them... 10/10 !

total score of ''under the pink'' 100% of the songs are loved, total score 112/120 = 93.3% 

Tori Amos - (part 1) - Little Earthquakes

The first song I heard was Crucify, and… I just wasn’t ready for this acquired taste! Indeed, her voice blended with a piano didn’t appeal to me, back in the 1990’s. I never tried to listen to her again until I married a Toriphile… 

My wife’s an Ears with feet, a Tori Amos fan, who was shocked to hear my dislike. Knowing that I liked some 1980’s music, she came up with the idea to introduce me to ‘’Y kant Tori read’’, which I liked and helped push me to try the rest of her career. For the past 15 or so months, I started listening to the cd’s in chronological order and learned to love Crucify, the very song which had made me wince, and expand from 1 song to several, and very gradually liking 2 songs per album to liking a majority.

Tori Amos - (part 0)

The only musical entry I had on my media garden belonged to Tori Amos, which I had posted on her birthday last month. With this brand new music garden, I shall split it into its components as I decided to discuss the various editions per album.
