主题：黑白键盘上的美丽蝴蝶 Tori Amos - Winter

tori amos(原名 myra ellen amos),生于北加利福尼亚.amos的音乐具有kate bush的编曲风格和joni mitchell的诗意，她在摇滚音乐中采用钢琴作为主要乐器的做法恢复了70年代的音乐传统，4岁的时候就已经会弹莫扎特的名曲，可是在6岁就拒绝再学古典音乐，21岁以自己对音乐的独特理解涉足流行音乐，追求的过程，固执、倔强与反叛恰似她橙红色的头发。

有时候我会喜欢激烈一点的女子，这样的女子多是外在张扬、言词犀利而却有一颗异常柔软的心，我以为某些东西到了极致，便是反相，就象凡高说的：我把所有的色彩提升到一个层次，然后就找到另一种和谐。这就象她：Tori Amos，她特别的经历：被人强暴，自己的小孩流产等一些别人隐而不说的事情都被她写到歌里，她用已与她的魂魄融为一体的忧伤和婉转的钢琴声，用她时而嘶哑时而凄美的声声音来反抗罪恶与救赎自己，她把自己撕裂开来，赤裸里面的疼痛，但是你听到的却是带泪的微笑，她已化蛹为蝶。

常常被她歌中的歌词所感动，最喜欢她的《Little Earthquakes》专辑，有一首《Winter》，里面唱到：when you gonna make up your mind　　when you gonna love youself as much as I do 　　when you gonna make up your mind 　　cause things are gonna change 　you must learn to stand up for yourself cause I can"t always around....

记得看过她的一个MTV，颜色灰白的画面，Tori Amos穿着一身浅紫的裙子，赤脚在森林里跑啊跑，想是要寻找什么。我觉得她一直是一个不断寻觅内心，与自己的灵魂进行赤裸裸的对话的歌者。

snow can wait
i forgot my wittens
wipe my nose
get my new boots on
i get a little warm in my heart when i think of winter
i put my hands in my father's cloth
i run off where the drifts get deeper
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
i hear a voice you must learn to stand up
for yourself cause i can't always be around
he says when you gonna make up your mind
he says when you gonna love you as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things has changed
so fast
all the white horsed are still in bed
i tell you that i'll always
want you near you say that things change
my dear
boys has discovered winter as melts
flowers competing for the sun
years go by and i'm still here waiting
withering where some snowman was
miror miror when is the christ still proud of us
but i only can see my son
skatting around the tree
but i know dad
let's skatting
when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things has changed so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
i tell you that i'm always
want you near
cause things has changed
my dear
hair is grey and the fires are burning
so many dreams
on the shelf
i say i wanted you to be proud of me
i always wanted that myself
when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
things has gonna changed so fast
