Tori Amos - Oysters Lyrics

And there are forces of conflict taking portions of my mind
In who's realm laced with trickery the fragments I must find...

I think this song is the crowning jewel of this album. It's maddeningly beautiful. If she was a siren, I think I'd drown.

Takes me away to a other World

"Reindeer King" anyone?

Love the piano on this.

I never heard this album before, pretty!

Stunning... her voice is so angelic on this track

Remember when we had sand...let me know when my wife turns into a little jewel created by a sea creature called an oyster...love you..

this song is overwhelming.

that chorus is like a passageway to the ether

"So can these shoes take me to
Who I was before?"

such a wondrous song!

I wish Tori would record and produce her albums outside Cornwall again, and without her husband (and daughter). Her latest work does sound like a family project, and not in a good way. Many songs bear a huge potential but leave a flat taste in my mouth. Tori will always be close to my heart though.

Totally disagree with you. Also, To Venus in Back was done in Cornwall soo.. not so much to blame for how you feel about this album. This song is absolutely exquisite and mystifying.

@Arturo Chapa Yeah and "Venus" was released... 17 years ago? You see, Tori has been writing and recording in Cornwall with her husband for almost two decades and maybe she's in need for something new. PJ Harvey recently said she is considering of moving to another place again soon because a change of environment alters her way of thinking, and look how she manages to surprise and inspire with every single output.

@S. Nero PJ Harvey is something I enjoyed in my teens....now I listen to BACH and I still listen to Tori Amos!!!

How can you hear anything but perfection in this?

girl!! let's go ride horses with a gun...again

U Dont Know My Voice By Now?!! Stone you should go with your playboy mommy the next time you see a cloud on her tongue

I sampled the start of this song to make a Hip Hop beat for my new song I made featuring vocals I mixed onto it from Havoc of Mobb Deep, Nas, DMX and Jadakiss, if you like hiphop/rap check it out https://soundcloud.com/rorymbeats/havoc-ft-nas-dmx-jadakiss-give-it-up-produced-and-mixed-by-rorymbeats

cant stop listening to this song. love it!

For some reason this reminds me a lot of Boys for Pele...love it. 

Yes, it does

shades of Marianne.

quickly becoming my new fav ;)

This song is a masterpiece <3

Did I somehow become you without realising? 

Music and vocal delivery reminds me of Under the Pink era..... beautiful 
Not every girl is a pearl..... classic Tori

Pls make available to cell

Over 20 years with this piano goddess. How can she still bring me to sad sobbing tears after all of this time? I will tell you why: because she can BRING IT on my worst day. 

Spinny78 It's because you're not a pearl.

Spinny78 Love you, boo. PS - You were right~ this song is divine ❤️

Found a little patch of heaven now. I love you girl!

not every girl is a pearl

Absolutely love it!
