bouncing off clouds

After hearing “Big Wheel”, “Teenage Hustling”, and “Bouncing off Clouds”, I Favored Teenage hustling as what I was hoping to hear as Tori’s first single. My brothers love bands like Disturbed, Stained, POD, Mudvaine,etc. I always felt they were missing out on my “girlie music” (as they called it). The Plugged ’98 tour came, along with the song “Spark”, surprisingly Sergio said “…I could get jiggy to this shit..!”. That said a lot. John had surprised me in the “Pele” days by fancying “Blood Roses”, he affectionantly called “..Flood Roses..” and would sing along with me. I envisioned a video played on Fuse on the scale of all the boy groups like Panic at the Disco and that Black Parade group thing that’s so in right now with the artistry of an Amy Lee video and everyone jamming to it!!! Tori’s voice can be harsh and severe when she gets sharp (like the black keys to the right) as she does in Teenage Hustling. She does her country twang like in the Springtime of His Vodoo (or Big Wheel). But there’s a sweetness found in her voice when it resonates and she anonciates and her voice is “easy” like a mother’s lullaby. Back to “Baltimore” and Flying Dutchman and the rounds she has in her songs like “SpaceDog” (the live performances). That echo of resonance like “..love let me breathe, breathe you in, ’til there is only you, union…”. Bouncing Off Clouds has that quality.
