YEAR OF RELEASE: 1994
COMMENTS:
This
is
a
distinctly
cosmic
putdown,
as
an
eminently
funky
Mother
Earth
lets
the
immature
Sky
Father
know
what
time
it
is.
By
the
disrespectful
tone
of
the
record,
you
might
jump
to
the
conclusion
that
Tori
is
simply
making
a
statement
of
atheism,
but
that's
not
it.
The point
isn't
that
he's
not
there
as
in
non-existent,
but
that
he's
not
there
as
in
irresponsible.
He
is
portrayed
as
just
another
deadbeat
dad,
an
asshole
father
who
won't
pay
his
child
support
or
take
care
of
his
kids.
By God, Tori sure knows how to do heresy up right. She's not angry, but funny as hell. She expressed this in a very enjoyable mid-tempo dance track, slow enough to let you see that she knows and means just what she's saying. Besides the words, the melodic phrasing is a mockery. Listen to how she sings "why you al-ways go when the wi-ind blows."
Props must also be paid to a Mr. Steve Caton who is credited with the guitar part. His screeching, atonal guitar leads drive this thing past flipancy into full-fledged blasphemy. "Screeching and atonal" might suggest random squawking, but this is not. It is coherent and eloquent screeching, even catchy.
"God sometimes you just don't come through. Do you need a woman to look after you?"
