Fall Albums Revisted III

Tori Amos Tori amos tori Amos tori amos. How I have enjoyed our Autumn walks to this reinvented classical romantic piano mythological odyssey named Night of Hunters released September 20th 2011.

Wait for the light to be just right, dawn sipping away the corners of the horizon, and the ice grab of the dark setting in… Watch the water fight the ice fight the wind fight the trees fight the warmth of heartbeats.

How long can I walk? How deep is my coat? What can I carry? Where is the edge of the moon? Who whispers to stars? The sea is breaking things. The snow is blinding. I see your ghost. Fearlessness unfreezes me.

Fall Albums Revisited II

New York in the Fall just can’t help itself, now can it?

These over the top broadwayish folk-pop songs that Rufus Wainwright wrote for his Want 1 album have been inhaling the cold air and kicking colored leaves down 14th street. Oh what a wonderful vicious world we live in.

Hear ye Hear ye!
