I got to the third song and burst into tears! I felt like I was rediscovering scarlets walk for the first time all over again... the hairs on my arms stood up and my heart felt a rush I haven't felt from music for a lot of years! For the past 25 odd years I've had toris albums literally on repeat I don't listen to an awful lot else, my favorites including to Venus and back, scarlets walk, aats and under the pink...I have no idea why I waited two years to listen to this! I didn't think I'd get the buzz of those albums again but im so thrilled! I can't stop listening to metal water wood and devil's bane. And 29 years is just beautiful, it also made me cry! Theres a few im loving, spies gets stuck in my head, especially after reading how she ended up writing it...and more are growing on me... it was also really awesome that a day after it arrived i travelled to Cornwall for the first time and the references to cornwall just seemed timed so perfectly for me... I was walking around the cliffs singing "the cornish coast of england"
OK so 3 weeks in and I still can't stop playing metal water wood, I have realised I found this album at a perfect point in a spiritual awakening, for example speaking with trees really resonates with me as I've been doing alot of connecting with and healing myself through trees lately, be like water I realise now is something I've been learning also as I've been very connected to water all my life but lately have been feeling its healing properties and power very deeply. Trust Tori to reawaken a power inside me (sometimes in life a girl must tango alone)i feel now i waited, unknowingly for 2 years to hear this album so that it would resonate with me on a certain level, so many songs on this album really come alive for me.
