Midwinter Graces

Tori's new album comes out today. Happy Tori Day! I deem this a special day. A Tori filled day. Maybe I'll bake some Tori themed cookies based on song titles. Space Dog? Happy Phantom? Raspberry Swirl? Father Lucifer? Okay maybe not that last one. Or maybe not at all. It's is a holiday themed album but not a typical Christmas album. This (unfortunately) is not the album cover. I wish it was. It can be interpreted in many different ways and that's why I like it.

Love this

This next picture is the actual cover and I'm not so sure I love it.  It's robotic and unnatural looking. But I think (hope) that's the look she's going for. It kind of looks like she's being choked by a big gaudy necklace and praying for air. I'm on the fence. Sometimes I really like it and sometimes I don't. No offense to the die-hard Tori fans....

 Album cover

Regardless, I truly love Tori and her music. I have been a fan since 1995. Her music has helped me through the hardest of hard times and lifted me even higher in my happiest. I can't imagine my life without her music. There is no other artist like her and there never will be. She is under appreciated by most. But I'm grateful for her.

Thank you Tori.

  3. Turtle (or can I use your real name?)-you were there when I first discovered her! So many memories! Every time I listen to Under the Pink or Boys for Pele you pop into my mind ;)

    Brett-AATS is my least fav for sure. I feel like this one has to be better. If not I'm not sure what I'll do. I think I listened to SLG more than I listened to AATS and that's saying A LOT for me.
