Songs from Tori are like secret whispers from her to her audience... intimate, personal, resonating and here's the real secret... she sings of secrets we didn't know we had yet.

I'm not easily given to hyperbole - I love Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, John Lennon, etc etc but if I could choose only 1 song to be the most perfect blend of dynanism, sadness, and even humour, Tear in Your Hand is it. "I don't believe you're leaving because me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream" is actually my favourite line of ANY song. It's so amusing and so bitterly 'are you kidding me?' to the person she's saying it to, followed by the hurt of 'I think it's that girl. And I think they're pieces of me you've never seen. maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen'. It's a perfect verse and Tori must have known it, must know it. I would even arguably rate Little Earthquakes as the best debut album by any artist. I think it's even better than The Kick Inside by Kate Bush. But so it should be as musicians have had time to absorb Kate Bush's progression.

Same with me. I was in the video store (remember those?) and saw this VHS tape with a striking picture on the front (her at that white piano) and I picked it up and took it home and was blown away. It was a collection of live and video performances. I went out immediately to the music store (remember those?) and bought the CD and absolutely loved it. That album, for whatever reason, is one of those from that time (of a huge mass of amazing music, can someone please invent a freaking time machine?) that just gives me the chills every time. I remember I bought another copy of the VHS tape and sent it to some friends on the other side of the country. A few days later they called me, having just watched it, and were saying thank you for sending us that, it was amazing.

I was 14 when this album came out in 1992. I'm a straight male but I was a particularly sensitive one then. It blew me away. It's the best debut album ever to me, better even than The Kick Inside. Listening to this album in a pre-internet cold winter in England, this beautiful yet often kind of extremely culturally polarised country, was simply the most bittersweet experience. It was actually intensely magical, because life is literally magical - logically, it makes more sense that nothing should exists than that anything exists. The little earthquakes that caused life at all are doomed or blessed to be in us all too.

She meant she was dumping me of course. The whole world stopped. It took my breath away. I vaguely remember her coming up with some vague excuse for wanting to dump me - not me liking the same icecream as Charles Manson, but something like that. And when she found a new boyfriend, I thought she just hadn't really seen the real me. If only she had seen those pieces.........(Stacy, are you there?) and that is the beauty of this song. I really think this and Winter are 2 of the most beautiful songs ever written.

One of my favorite songs of hers. Been a fan since 1992. Always was curious about one thing. The part where she says "I don't believe you're leaving cuz me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream" because her now ex Trent Reznor had at one point lived in the house Sharon Tate lived in on Cielo Drive when she was murdered along with 4 others by Manson followers and then after Trent moved he took the door that they had written PIG on. Also, he recorded The Downward Spiral album in that house. Just trying to find a correlation between the two.
@tashaschneider1419
6 жыл бұрын
This was before she nailed Trent, but there's plenty of correlation. Since they are both witches who will do ANYTHING for fame and fortune, it makes perfect sense that Tori and Trent should have hooked up at some point. Trent LOVES witchy women (Tori, Erykah, Seraphim), and they have been his downfall in life. Tori really thought the murder house was cool, make of that what you will. Also, Tori and Trent pretend to be "sensitive" when they are actually a couple of thoroughly insensitive attention whores. Tori is probably a worse person than Trent is, since she has exploited children for profit ("Raspberry Swirl"). But they are both evil people.

I think that’s the point, that there is no correlation. The reason given for the breakup is some irrelevant trivial thing that isn’t even remotely close to the actual reason for breaking up. Sometimes people don’t want to say why they’re dumping someone, especially if they feel guilty for their reason to break up, so they make up some arbitrary reason. That’s how I’ve always interpreted that line, but it definitely wouldn’t surprise me if it had some other meta meaning that I’m unaware of, because Tori loves to use those personal references such as “Neil and the Dream King” to double up as something else (escapism).
