Cloud On My Tongue – Tori Amos [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 8th, 2010

Full of the disjointed lyrics that Tori Amos does so well; the song 'Cloud On My Tongue' ranges from one picture reference to the next, and leaves behind a trail of imagery that is at once distracting, and cohesive. It beings with it, a longing to be elsewhere, to have the ‘Borneo’ that is warm and comforting, yet the current world is [...]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 3rd, 2010

This song has a very special place in my heart; as my wife Ami and I used it in our wedding. It comes from the delightful, and witty film: Moulin Rouge. This is the only 'original' song in the movie, and in my opinion, it is simply the best. Ewan Mcgregor, and Nicole Kidman show their vocal talents on [...]
