I absolutely know what you mean. I've had those moments occasionally, and when they come, I take notice. There was a time, many years ago when I lived in Austin, I was driving around with my boyfriend looking for thrift stores. It was a brilliantly blue day with the perfect amount of breeze. The thrills of just hanging out with my beloved, on such a fine day, doing only what we wanted to do, with the windows down and blaring Tori. I was listening to her, and driving, and talking to him when Space Dog came on. And it's like the world sat still for a moment. And I felt her. She was only singing to me. And I was listening with my soul and not just my ears. I had heard that song a million times before (and adored it), but that one moment awakened me to it's true inner beauty and significance. I felt alive on so many levels during that 5 minutes and 12 seconds of. I am so thankful that I can share it with someone that will understand. Because although my, now, husband shared it with me, he doesn't understand on that primal level that maybe another Toriphile can. So, thanks Pete for opening this Tori story.

I just realised that the opening notes of Hey Jupiter, only my favorite song of the last 8 years!, sound like a phone ringing at the other end of the line. As she sings "No one's picking up the phone". I shall crawl back under my ignorance and go and read some more lyric booklets! Pete xxxx change, my dear _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?
