Tori on "Wedding Day" Songtext

von Tori Amos

Wedding Day
Wedding Day is I guess a reflection of a time when things were really magical between this couple.
And so, making sure that the track was holding an arrangement space
For her to look back as well as to be in the present.
And in the present there's a very obvious mistress between them
And the mistress is silence and she's the siren that is between this couple.
So, in order to express that -tell that story and then to burst into what that wedding day
Was like those years ago, that was really part of our fun. We had a lot of fun developing that so there was a lot of playing back and forth, jumping from the Rhodes, the electric keyboards to the melotron flutes to the Bösendorfer as well as the electric and the acoustics.
And then the certain type of percussion was demanded because we wanted
-there was a mixture -We had certainly the American drums, certain Calcha drums
But more of a non-Christian-type of celebration
Because it felt as if we wanted to go further than that
Almost an ancient marriage that wasn't about religions
But before that. So, that was all part of the development of the piece.
