Last, posting this here only.... a bit of back stry about the album that I found somewhere......

Scarlet's Walk bio

Not so much a collection of songs as a sonic novel, Scarlet's Walk is the new album from Tori Amos. Both highly personal and deeply political, it's an epic and thought-proving journey though America. A road trip in the classic Kerouac tradition, narrated by a character called Scarlet who is Amos herself and yet who is also Everywoman.

"Scarlet is walking in my shoes," says Tori. "You could say she's based on me. Or perhaps I am based on her."

As on all good road trips, along the way Scarlet discovers much about the world around her and even more about herself. About the past and where we've been and where we might be headed.

Populated by a cast of sometimes desperate but always fascinating characters and rich in symbolism and allegory, it's both a voyage of self-discovery and an examination of the stark choices facing us in a world which often seems to have lost its moral compass.

Partly inspired by the stories told by Tori's mother of her Cherokee family's history and partly by the crisis of identity in contemporary America, it is the most challenging, ambitious and vivid creation from Tori Amos's fertile imagination to date.

Scarlet's Walk begins on the West Coast, where she visits AMBER WAVES, a phrase found in America The Beautiful and also the name of a porn star in the movie Boogie Nights. Amber's in trouble. "She had arrived in the city of angels with a dream of being someone. But ‘from ballet class to lap dance and straight to video', her soul has been slowly eroded. She's still a young woman, perhaps in her late 20s. But the porn baron who made her a star has moved on to the next ingenue. The public has eaten her and spat her out and she has nobody who cares." So Scarlet and Amber undertake a journey, which eventually leads Scarlet to Alaska to see the Northern Lights. "There she's given the message to tell Amber they're not drowning, but waving."

A SORTA FAIRYTALE finds Scarlet back in LA with a man she has convinced herself is her life's soul mate. "They take the big trip in the classic car up the Pacific Coast highway and across the desert.But as they go on, the masks drop away and they discover the fantasy they have of each other isn't who they really are." They end up back where they started and Scarlet leaves. "They did care. But somehow they lost each other. Which is why it's only A Sorta Fairytale..."

Scarlet moves on to take other lovers. In WEDNESDAY she's in a relationship with a man who harbours secrets. "The trust is gone and she doesn't know whether she is imaging that he's up to something or whether he really is. She's becoming something she never wanted to become - possessive and suspicious." But on another level, Scarlet's love-affair is with America. "Is the land of the free really so free? People have put their trust in the ideal of America. But whether it's the broken treaties with the Native American people or the recent stock market crash, greed has taken over."

On STRANGE, Scarlet's journey takes her to the sites of some of the last stands of the native American people, including Little Big Horn. From there she journeys on through the Bad Lands. "Scarlet has taken on the beliefs of her lovers and on another level those of her country. But she's begun to question them. We are taught that America stands for democracy. But that's not what she's seeing."

Next she meets up with the manic depressive CARBON. They travel through the Black Hills of Dakota and to Wounded Knee, scene of one of the darkest episodes in Native American history. "All Carbon wants is to disintegrate into nothingness. So it's an extremely destructive story. Just as people risked their lives to keep their sacred land, a meltdown is about to happen in her life and a waltz into insanity is on the horizon. She's on this downhill race in her mind and Scarlet has to get to her before she kills herself." They end up in a ski resort - Bear Claw, Free Fall and Gunner's View in the song are all ski runs. But for Carbon the normal parameters and boundaries have ceased to apply and given way to self-mutilation and an urge to plunge over the cliff. Scarlet walks into this madness, but the outcome is left unresolved.

At this point a character called CRAZY comes into Scarlet's life. "He makes a lot of sense and seems to take the pain away for a while so she follows him. He's seductive and dangerous and it's delicious. But you know that it's not forever because you can't hold on to him." Together they travel through cowboy country and back to the desert, before he abandons her in Tucson.

There Scarlet picks up the voice of the Native American ancestors on WAMPUM PRAYER after visiting the site of a massacre of the Apache people. "She has a dream and follows the voice and prayer of an old woman who survived and whose song is woven into the land." There's an obvious parallel with the songlines of Aboriginal folklore in Australia as Scarlet is propelled by the dream until she reaches Cherokee country and the ancestry of her own people.

In a further dream, she hears the cry of her niece, who is living in Las Vegas, 18 and in trouble. "The problem is that if Scarlet has to go to help her, she's going to need to confront her own past. The Prince of Black Jacks, who runs the town, is an old flame. If she goes, she's going to need his help.But she knows there's going to be a price to pay - hence her cry, DON'T MAKE ME COME TO VEGAS."

Her prayer is answered and instead SWEET SANGRIA finds her in Austin, Texas. There she meets a Latino revolutionary, fighting American intervention in Central and Southern America. But the more Scarlet is drawn into the fight, the more she begins to see that she can't go along with hurting innocent people - on either side. "For him, the end justified the means. But although she believes in the cause, she can't load the gun... It's about what you believe in and how far you're prepared to go."

She leaves him on the border at Laredo and YOUR CLOUD finds her travelling alone up the Mississippi to Memphis. From there she travels on to a place where thousands of Cherokees died. "She's thinking about the idea of segregation and people separating themselves from the land. Everybody has a body map, and she's trying to find hers." She also visits the battlefields of the Civil War, before she arrives in Philadelphia where she sees the Liberty Bell - and observes that it is cracked.

PANCAKE finds Scarlet heading into Delaware and towards the north-eastern seats of learning and power. There she meets a Messiah figure , but swiftly becomes disillusioned. If her Latino revolutionary was all action, this Messiah is all talk. "He doesn't uphold the values which he preaches. He's deaf to the real needs of the people and is becoming drunk on the kind of power which he once denounced."

From Boston, the story switches to New York, where Scarlet witnesses a plane crash in mid-air. Tori was in the city on September 11 and I CAN'T SEE NEW YORK is a story with obvious echoes of that fateful day. "When they watched it on TV, people had to remind themselves that it wasn't a movie. Being there and being able to smell it, you knew that it was reality."

Trying to escape from New York, Scarlet picks up a ride. "Scarlet has a lot of questions and no answers at a time when the world is in deep trouble. Everything is twisted. But MRS JESUS represents life and she takes a ride with her out of the city to try to make some sense of what has happened."

They part in Chicago, where Scarlet looks up old friends.There she learns of the death of a gay friend and resolves to visit his house in Baton Rouge, before travelling on to New Orleans. "TAXI RIDE is about how people react to death and the betrayal that can happen even after death."

New Orleans is warm and balmy with the smell of honeysuckle in the air. But Scarlet is grappling with covetousness in ANOTHER GIRL'S PARADISE. Her travels take her through Florida and to Hawaii , before she returns to Miami. "All the time she's having a conversation with desire. And she realises that very few of us can genuinely wish each other good in a selfless way."

On SCARLET'S WALK she traces the footsteps of the early European settlers along the east coast and passes through the capital of the Cherokee nation. "In the song, America is a young girl looking over the water at another young girl, who may be called France or Spain or England. She's curious so she invites them over. Pretty soon, they've moved in and taken everything - the husband, the house and the job - and the new sheriff is in charge." The walk also picks up the story of the grandfather of Amos's grandmother, a full-bloodied Cherokee.

In VIRGINIA, Scarlet makes her way up to Washington and visits Jamestown, one of the earliest settlements. She wonders how a land built on the notion of freedom for the settlers could deny freedom to the native American people. "In her mind she sees the white brother coming and the young Native American girl following. The mythology of another land has been imposed on America."

Last year, Tori gave birth to a daughter, and at the end of her journey, so does Scarlet. On the birth of her child in GOLD DUST, she is finally able to see the map she has lost. "From being the woman of adventure, she now has another life dependent upon her. And she sees that which is permanent and that which is transitory in a new light. When the Twin Towers went down we realised that what is permanent rests in your heart."

Such a brief synopsis only scratches the surface of the themes explored in Scarlet's Walk. Multi-layered, cinematic and challenging, it is an album that provokes and stimulates and reveals new depths of meaning with every listen. Tori Amos walks it like she talks it.

More Album Details - and the Promotions Begin

Tori has begun to hit a bunch of radio stations in the L.A. area to promo the new album. She was on the Kevin and Bean show this morning, and you can read a transcript and download the interview. See thedent.com for those goods. Tori describes the album as a woman taking a journey across the states, threading through a number of people's lives, including a porn star named Amber Waves.... ASF is apparently the second track on the album, which makes sense given the journey begins on the west coast. The album, as we already know, is inspired largely by Tori's own experiences on tour last year in the aftermath of 9/11. We're still without track listings mind you, although a while back I posted one that may be somewhat viable. The album is said to have 17 tracks and the list down the page has 15, with ASF placed third on the album -- close!!! It may be, as the person throwing it out said, that they saw a tenative tracklist before the final one. I would love to see them be almost right because people really trashed that atforumz user. Note as you scroll to that track listing that the second last track is Gold Dust which seems to be set in Washington (east coast as per the journey of the album) AND the last track is called Native Land which sounds like a fitting closer. It also contains several tracks confirmed so far.

Speaking of confirmed tracks, I am hearing from yet another source that Paperback Friday is on the album.....AND the album will be like a key to unlock a website called *L* Scarlet's Web (fuckers I already claimed that name! :p ) which will contain B-Sides, maps and other goodies. Fuck yeah!!!

I'm about to lose my home internet access for a while, but I will keep ya posted as best I can. Have fun and be sure to explore the rest of my Tori site which now contains the full text of the promo booklet Tori Stories: Her take on the videos.

Now for the summary of everything we know thus far, both definite and rumours. Of course you want a summary right? Make your life easier and all that. Hang ten honey, here goes:

Tracks we know of to date (and most of us downloaded LOL): A Sorta Fairytake (which is the first single), Amber Waves, Pancake, Crazy, taxi ride (which is the song previously known as Just Another Dead Fag) and Gold Dust.

Rumoured track titles and other song release rumours: Snow Cherries From France is NOT on the album but may end up as a B-Side in the near future. Rumoured to possibly be on the album are Sweet Sangria (reliable rumour), paperback friday, House on Heels, and as a possible B-Side, Zero Point.

Album release date and other tidbits: October 28th in europe, 29th in NA. Album may feature explicit packaging of some sort. Artwork and photos revealed thus far include a picture of Tori driving a truck with some nasty looking dude getting out on the passenger side, a picture of a cute dog sitting in same truck and a picture of a woman presumably Tori with a map of the US tattooed on her back.

Tour news: Tour begins in October in California, keeping with the album's journey being an Eastbound trip across the US. Jon Evans (bass) and Matt Chamberlain (drums) are in tour rehearsals at the end of the month. No known guitarist.

There are also hints at "something more" or "something for the ebenfit of those who can't make the shows". Live DVD? Let's hope so!!!

Confirmation and more details about Tour Info.

As I previously reported, Tori's tour will be starting in California, the opposite of what she usually does. She's known to always begin in Florida and loop around. That has been confirmed by reliable sources according to the Dent. Tori's opening act for the tour will be Howie Day. Smallish venues, possible live footage recorded..... and maybe only Matt Jon and Tori, sans lead guitar. Sounds very yummy. Don't forget to scroll down and read the rest of the news including some musings on Gold Dust and rumoured tracks.

Alfie? Laura Mars? Who the hell is Tori talking about????? Some Gold Dust musings.

In Gold Dust, one of the 6 new promo tracks circulating about, Tori mentions Laura Mars and Alfie. Laura Mars is apparently from a movie.... I believe it's called the Eyes of Laura Mars, about a photographer IIRC who foresees murders and whatnot..... I plan on digging up more coherent info later. Alfie.... could be one of a few things.

1) Keeping with Laura Mars being a movie ref, Alfie is a movie with IIRC Michael Caine......

2) From the LJ toriamos community: Angie Dickinson's (remember her? Putting the Damage on?) husband Burt wrote a song called Alfie.

3) Also from the LJ toriamos community: A Barbra Streisand song..... lyrics below....

If you have any musings send em my way. Without further ado, I leave you with the lyrics for Alfie by Bawbwa *L*

ALFIE

What's it all about

Alfie

Is it just for the moment we live

What's it all about

When you sort it out

Alfie

Are we meant to take more than we give

Or are we meant to be kind

And if only fools are kind

Alfie

Then I guess

It is wise to be cruel

And if life belongs

Only to the strong

Alfie

What will you lend on

An old golden rule

As sure as I believe

There's a heaven above

Alfie

I know there's something much more

Something even non-believers

Can believe in

I believe in love

Alfie

Without true love you just exist

Alfie

Until you find the love you’ve missed

You're nothing

Alfie....

When you walk let your heart lead the way

And you'll find love any day

Alfie...

Alfie...

Alfie...

LITTLE BIRDIE UPDATES.....

From someone reliable.....

Jon heads over to England in a month or so to start tour rehearsals.
He almost didn't tour. He didn't want to leave his wife behind for so long. So Tori said to bring her along.
There is no guitarist at the moment. Could it be just Tori, Jon and Matt????
Small venues and two dates each city, she said. And something about photos and videos along the way for the benefit of fans who can't go to the shows.

Hee hee. Oh and yes all the new album lyrics are on my SW page now. Click the Scarlet section link and enjoy.

SITE AND ALBUM UPDATES.....

The album has been pushed back to a release date of October 29 in the US and October 28 in the UK. This, on the heels of Epic pitching a fit over the spread of the sampler tracks and artwork. Hell, they're even demanding site owners remove the lyrics! A little much!!

In terms of the site, I will be updating the Scarlet's Wal section with the lyrics of the 6 songs on the sampler, the new release date, and reviews of each track. I will NOT post MP3's. I will NOT post where to get them. I will not post artwork. I'll describe it though: it's like a tattoo of america on the back of Tori.... cool! But I will put the lyrics up because I find that to be a little silly. Lyrics are only half of what makes Tori songs hers. People will not choose to like or dislike an album because of words. So take that Epic! You should thank me for making it possible for fans to develop a ravenous appetite for this album. In fact, take the lead: plan to release streams of album tracks in the weeks before release, as was done with StrangeLittle Girls. Use the force of Toriphile obsession to spread the word and hook new fans. Don't abuse us.

Also note that the post after this one contains the rumoured tracklisting for SW and details about the album courtesy of Neil. I'll post the press release first in italics. But yes lyrics here they are. Don't wanna see? Scroll waaaaay down fast past the spoiler space then slowly scroll up again to read the tracklisting and other news.

SPOILER SPACE!!!

Amber Waves

Well he lit you up


like Amber Waves in his movie show


He fixed you up real good


till I don't know you anymore


from Ballet Class to a Lap Dance


Straight to video


And the pool side news


was that he would be


launching you

Chorus:


Into every young man's


Bedroom - you gave it up


on DVD and magazine-


you gave it up


a private rite of passage


you gave it up


to every boy's sweet dream


with their paper cuts

You said "he's got a


Healing Machine


it glows in the dark


glows in the dark:


You say "there's not a lot


of me


left anymore-


just leave it alone.


But if you're buy, and you have


the time, tell the Northern


Lights to keep shining - Lately it seems like they're drowning"

He cold light you up


and summon every swan


or the Lakesie


Off to Cabo San Lucas


for some optical stimulus


Then you started to guess


ther was someone else


though His flint glass


seeing all of you


immersed in His sepia

Chorus

So I went by -


cause I had the time,


and told the Northern Lights


to keep shining


they told me to tell you -


they're waving

Lyrics to Pancake:

I'm not sure who's fooling who here


as I'm watching your decay


We both know you could deflate


a 7 hurricane


Seems like you and your tribe


decided you'd rewrite the law


Segregate the mind


From Body and Soul

Chorus:


You give me yours


I'll give you mine


cause I can look your God


right in the eye


You give me yours


I'll give you mine


You used to look my God


right in the eye

I believe in defending


in what we once


stood for


It seems in vogue


to be a closet


misogynist homophobe

a change of course in


Our direction


a dash of truth


spread thinly


Like a flag


On a popstar


On a Benzodiazapene

Chorus

Oh Zion please


remove your glove


+dispel every


trace


of His spoken word


That has lodged


In my vortex

I'm not sure who's fooling who here


as I"m watching your decay


We both know you could deflate


a 7 hurricane


You could have spared


her - oh but no


Messiahs need


people dying in their


Name


You say "I ordered you a


pancake"


You say "I ordered you a


pancake"

Lyrics to Crazy!

Not sayin'


not charmed at all


Not sayin'


that you weren't worth


the fall


And I was alone when


I knew it was real


Down the canyon


when I knew I had come

To the line


Through the dawn


To the light


To the turn


When you said

You could drive


all night


Drive all night

So I let Crazy


take a spin


Then I let Crazy


settle in


Kicked off my shoes


Shut reason out


He said "first let's just


unzip your religion


down"

Found that I


I craved at all


Saw me melt


into your


native shelter


Where you carved my


name


Paper tigers scare


and came

Alive


Through the dawn


To the light


To the turn


When you said

You could drive all night


all night


Drive all night

So I let Crazy


take a spin


Then I let Crazy


settle in


Kicked off my shoes


Shut reason out


He said "first let's just


unzip your religion


down"


So I let Crazy


pull me in


Then I let Crazy


take his spin


Kicked off my shoes


Shut reason out


He said "first let's just unzip


your religion down"


Heard that you were once


"Temptation's girl"

And as soon


as you have


rearranged the mess


in your head


He will show up looking


sane


perfectly sane


If I know Crazy

Here's the lyrics to Taxi Ride!!

Lily is dancing


on the table


We've all been


Pushed


Too far


I guess on days


like this


you know who your


friends are


Just another Dead Fag


to you that's all


Just another Light missing


on a long taxi ride


taxi ride

And I'm down to


Your last cigarette and


this "We are one" crap


as you're invading


This thing you call


Love - she smiles


way too much but


I'm glad you're


on my side, sure


I'm glad you're on


my side still

You think you deserve


a trust fund


Just because you


Want one


Sure you talk the talk


when you need to


I fear


the whole world is


starting to


Believe you


Just another Dead Fag


to you that's all


Just another Light missing


in a long taxi line


taxi line

And I"m down to


Your last cigarette and


this "We are one" crap


as you're invading


This thing you call


Love - she smiles


way too much but


I'm glad you're


on my side, sure


I'm glad you're on


my side still

Lily is dancing


on the


table


We've all been pushed


Too far today


Even a glamorous


Bitch can be in


need


this is where you know


the Honey


from the


Killer Bees


+I'm glad you're on


my side


sure


I'm glad you're on


my side


sure


I'm glad you're on


my side still

Got a long taxi ride


Got a long taxi ride

GoldDust:

Sights and Sounds


pull me back down


another year

I WAS HERE


I WAS HERE

Whipping past


the reflecting pool


me+you


skipping school

And we make it up


as we go along


We make it up we


go along

YOu said -


You raced from Langley -


pulling me underneath


a Cherry Blossom


canopy


-Do I Have-


Of course I have,


Beneath my raincoat,


I have your photographs.


And the sun on your


Face


I'm freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie cries


and says "Enjoy his every smile


You can see in the dark


Through the eyes of Laura Mars"


How did it go so fast


you'll say


as we are looking


back


and then we'll


understand


we held gold dust


in our


hands

Sights and Sounds


pull me back down


another year

I WAS HERE


I WAS HERE

Gaslights


Glow in the street


(flickering past)


Twilight held us


in her palm


as we walked along

And we make it up


as we go along


We make it up as we go along

Letting names


Hang in the


Air


What color hair


(auburn crimson)


Autumn knowingly


Stared


and the day that


She came


I'm freezing that


Frame


I'm freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie


smiles


and says "Enjoy her


every cry


You can see in the


dark


Through the eyes


Of Laura Mars"

How did it go so


Fast


You'll say as we are looking back


and then we'll understand


We held gold dust


in our


hands

in our


hands

Also, Neil Gaiman chatted at a book signing and reading with Tori fans and told them the following:

1) Pancake is a good song - he digs it muchly

2) The version of A Sorta fairytale circulating is a radio edit AND is lacking the strings that reportedly Tori was going to add. Meaning it's probably a rough draft radio edit.

3) The album is structured like Pele, in that it tells a story as a whole.......merhaps there are tiny songs like Way Down, hence the 15 track list above?

Ra!!! :)
