主题：在音乐中获得救赎Tori Amos---Sweet the Sting

"我是女Eminem，我是女Neil Young，我是女The Beatles，……我用我雌性的歌喉刺穿雄性世界的痛处。—— “音乐一直都是社会文化趋势在我们的心灵和意识中的一种映射……我们的社会文化越来越被充满男性意味的暴力和攻击性的东西所浸染。”

喜欢Tori Amos是，总觉得她在用自己的灵魂和生命在歌唱……

如果Tori Amos在和你谈天时提到了“Girls”，那么你最好去追问一下她究竟指的是什么，是人呢还是她的歌？因为在用词方面这位Pop歌手常常是将人与歌平等对待。“对我而言我的歌是有生命的，”这位38岁被许多人冠以乐坛“仙姝”别号的乐坛奇女说，“它们无比真实——像你一样真实。”

仙则仙矣，作品中专辑里的灵气和神韵却不是天外偶得，对于一位从从四岁起就开始用钢琴演奏莫扎特的大部作品的人而言，你只能把她的作品的不凡归于天赋。在80年代Amos是起步维艰的乐界雏子，没有一鸣惊人和一蹴而就的成功等着她，在数年的挫折与平庸之后，1992年，随着专辑《Little Earthquakes》的推出，Amos的缪斯女神终于开始光顾她了，灵感之神引导着她终于穿越了生命中的混沌期，使得她开始能够创造她独具风格的一贯充满活力的作品。

With a strut into the room
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
He said "I, I have heard
That you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, "I can play, anyway that you want.
But first I want, I want to know

Baby is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip of this scorpion's tail"

He said "I laid my weapons
down with my pistol
Fully loaded, a hunted man
To my root, will it end
Or begin in your cinnabar juice?"

Is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip of this scorpion's tail"
Love let me breathe
Breathe you in
Melt the confusion
Until there is
There is your - union
Baby is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip of this scorpion's tail"
