next week holds excessive beauty

Anyone else want her necklace as bad as I do? I mean, how cool it that?

I'm going to see Tori Amos for the third time next Wednesday. So, exactly one week from today. Each time I see her, it's a whole new invigorating experience. At my first show, she was with the band (all hail Matt Chamberlain), the second time it was just her and the ivories. While seeing her without the band was unique and beautiful, my senses are ready to taste the guitar and drums once again. The vibrations, the way your head just uncontrollably nods and your foot won't stop tapping. I, myself, am a finger-to-thigh tapper. Rat-a-tat-tat-.. pretend-piano.

I also want to talk a little bit about the song 'mother'. That was the first live song performance that I actually sat and sobbed to. The resonation was heart-stopping. It was also during a time when I was struggling really hard emotionally and it just hit my core and brought out all of these tears which seemed to have been snuggled up behind my eyes for decades.

There really are no words for how encapsulating live music is.

I'm so pumped for next week. Nothing beats Tori prancing onto stage, making her way to her bench and rocking the piano and her loyal fans' ears for a couple of hours.
