Thrill 4-6: Light as the breeze {Sleeps with Butterflies}

I have fallen utterly in love with this song.

It's warm, it's tender, it's slightly sad (those lyrics about letting go, surely they can't be entirely happy?). The chorus sends shivers of pleasure through my spine almost without fail.

And to think I was worried about the Beekeeper album on the basis of sampling this song! It's like a beautiful rich lullaby urging to me lay down in a perfumed garden and cast my cares away. It will be alright. Just float and breathe slowly and deeply.

I still suspect I prefer Tori Amos to have a little bit of edge on her once in a while, but if this is a sign of the "flowers" she can produce... hand over the fertiliser!

It took me awhile to fall in love with this song, too.

PS: Thanks to your blog, I just found out that I will die when I'm 75.

Hey Trevor, yes I'm going around stalking blogs ;). This is by far my fave. song on the album, I love the lyrics, the music, everything about it, and yes it also makes me kind of sad but more like a nostalgic sadness.
