Tori Amos - Weatherman
I'm very weak when it comes to music. Lots of songs make my eyes moist. This one gets me every time.
This one hits harder when you consider that it's most likely about her miscarriage.
Just a beautiful song. It's about Tori remembering things her father said to her when she was a young girl about to become a teenager.
Favourite lines:
"Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice: "You must learn to stand up
For yourself, cause I can't always be around""
"When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
Cause things are gonna change so fast"
Her lyrics got more and more cryptic over the years.
This song is pretty straight forward.
