^Nice!

[Octopussy]

I will say that is one the few places I would actively enjoy Sleeps with Butterflies, in a playlist with other songs that remind me of summer, tranquility and nature. Plus I always like the combo of Your Cloud/SWB because she played wonderful versions of both on the Frankfurt '05 bootleg.

America has a Your Cloud connection, being the second song that mentions "where the rivers cross"

Lots of my favorites! Thank you. I'll make that right quick in iTunes. Pandora-Alamo-Black Swan sounds divine.

What do guys think of my career-retrospective box set?!?! I do things like this because I have no life, LOL. I'm pretty sure none of these would fit onto a disc, but nobody listens to CDs anyway so who cares.

The stats:
7 tracks = LE/UTP/BFP/CGH (*Siren counted with CGH)
5 tracks = SW & NI
4 tracks = Venus & UG
3 tracks = TBK & ADP
2 tracks = SLG/AATS/NOH/TLP
1 track = Tales/MG/GD

"Disc 1" or I guess Part 1

13 Spark
14 Caught a Lite Sneeze
15 Hey Jupiter (Dakota)
16 Past the Mission
17 Jackie's Strength
18 Taxi Ride
19 Climb

Part 2 -- this is my fave, a higher-energy set that might actually be a better starting point than the "hits"

I haven't been listening to Tori much at all for quite a long time, then yesterday listened to NI in its entirety (and was reminded how much I like it). I guess I'm in the mood for her, and am now listening to her catalog (the portion of it I keep in my digital library, which is not everything) on Shuffle mode:

1) Another Girl's Paradise (I have always loved this song so much)
2) Chocolate Song
3) Job's Coffin (I think a lot of people hate this? At the moment, I really like it. It's a keeper for me.)
4) I Can't See New York
5) Strange
6) I'm On Fire
7) Strange Fruit (I wonder what prompted her to record and release this. It's a very important and very disturbing song.)
8) Marys of the Sea (Such a pretty song. So pretty I don't even mind that it's super Jesusy. I love the lyrics "the red of the red rose is its own, something no man can divide.")
9) Baker Baker
10) Oscar's Theme
11) Battle of Trees (Instrumental) (Wow! I've never heard this before. It's quite gorgeous music without the vocals. This is the better version.)
12) Leather
13) All The Girls Hate Her (Whoa wait - do you hear some of 'Oscar's Theme' in this, or am I imagining it?!)
14) Indian Summer (pretty sure I have never listened to this all the way through before, or paid attention to its lyrics.)
15) Fearlessness (Instrumental) (Come to think of it, maybe I have actually never listened to Sin Palabras - I would love this album on vinyl.)
16) Nautical Twilight (Funny, shuffle is going hard after NoH, it seems. I really like this song. I love the nautical and night sky imagery I associate with this album.)

If these first sixteen songs ^^^ were a Tori Amos album, I would grade it a C. There are some gorgeous songs in the set, but none of her absolute most powerful, absorbing songs.

17) Past the Mission

(Editing as I listen....)
