Tori seems to use this system of variations in coming up with new stuff, the way classical composers expand from a basic motiff. I don't know how true this is but you can apparently see how some songs connect to certain others. For example, Winter & Icicle come under one theme, likewise with Thoughts & Silent All These Years; the strings section in Yes, Anastasia smacks of Flying Dutchman. Certain phrases (thematic (obviously), lyrical & musical) keep recurring. It'd be interesting if someone could come out with a schematic diagram of Tori's songs & instrumental pieces. Any takers? By the way, has someone compiled Tori's discography yet? Can't wait to cry when I see how many singles I missed. Also, does anyone have the lyrics of the stuff from her singles. No offense, but sometimes Her Sublime Toriness smothers words with that ooh-so-raptuous wail/howl/moan/etc/etc. Thanx! TJ
