Tori even goes over my head sometimes but she's still a beautiful sight way up there as well! I don't feel the need to understand everything! I just feel it!
I see that it's gonna be released as a limited edition dvd and it's going to be a Barnes & Noble exclusive which sucks. :mad
I don't want to make an account just to get that item plus I'd have to get a gift card to order and the idea that it's limited edition is a downer. She had a live box set that was a limited edition and I along with a few of my friends (who are huge Tori fans) are still pissed because we could'nt get a copy.
Tori's First Single
At age seventeen Tori released her first ever single Baltimore! The song was written with her brother Micheal Amos and was released as a 45 which also had another song called Walking With You on it! It was written about the Baltimore Orioles for a songwriting contest in which she and her brother won!
This sounds nothing like the Tori we know, in fact it's cheesy as hell , but it'd be a great find for any Tori addict to own!
Here's the songs:
Baltimore
It's so nice to live here
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's someplace to call my own
It's all kinds of people
Familiar places, smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
But the 'Birds' are the best
The best of Baltimore
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
In a working American city
With all the people who make it that way
It's time to jump in a taxi
For Thirty-third Street
Knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
Watching Weaver's Show
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind
On my mind in Baltimore
Here's the other song on the 45:
Walking With You
(slightly less cheesy )
Every night I sit alone
Waiting to see you at my door
Arriving at the usual time
Waiting to share your love with mine
Well I've waited a lifetime just to find you
But you have to believe it's success that were seeking
Then in a few months you can come home to me
It's the job that you need
It's the school that you have to complete
You just have to go on with your days
But I'll be waiting right here as I am
But before you leave make me a promise I'll need you to keep
Remember me while you're away
Think of me when you're alone
In everything that I do
I do it in two's
'Cause I'll always be walking with you
'Cause I'll always be walking with you (side by side)
Always be walking with you (in my mind)
Always be walking with you (always be walking)
With you
Facing another empty evening
Lying alone here in my bed
You keep my mind from my job
But you lead my life with love
You hold my chin up high
You're love shines through my eyes
Your soul walks by my side
Keeping this body alive
As I run to catch the bus
I get a strange look or two
'Cause instead of just buying a ticket for me
I also buy a ticket for you
Now some people say I'm crazy
But It's the only way not to be blue
In everything that I do
I do it in twos
'Cause I'll always be walking with you
Always be (x4)
I'll always be walking with you
Remember me while you're away
Think of me when you're alone
In everything that I do
I do it in two's
'Cause I'll always be walking with you
'Cause I'll always be walking with you (side by side)
Always be walking with you (in my mind)
WOW Tori getting all Love American Style!!! That's AWESOME!!!
Baltimore could have been a really kick ass 70's sitcom theme song for sure! That's amazing!! I actually love it as geeky as it is. It's geeky in a good way! So cool to hear this. I need to see if I can find it for my Tori collection. Can you get it??

You can if you are willing to pay $2,000-$5,000! Only 500 pressing were madeso it's quite a rarity!
Here's a rarity Tori released in a period she calls the Baltimore Sessions! I like it better than both the above songs! It's like if Tori wrote a song for a Disney Flick!
Just Ellen
ever since i met you captured my heart
you treated me like a lady from the very start
guess i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
that i have to grow older and change on my own
i want to be a singer, but go it alone
but it is so hard for me 'cause i don't want to see that
i'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
i put on all the make-up that i can possibly find
i'm five years older in just a minute's time
but i can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind
so i rummage through my sister's things
hoping to find something that will catch your eye
to make you change your mind
so i won't have to leave, so you won't say to me
i'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
i'm left out in the night
i've lost all my senses
i know this isn't right
but you've captured my defenses
i really am in love
well that's the way i feel
this game has to stop
'cause you know it can't be real
i'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
i know i'd make you happy
but i'm too young for a wife
love is always special but i know i can't rush life
so i'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring
and maybe in a few years when i am wise and tall
love will light again and shine upon us all
he says i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
i'm too young for a man
but i'm too old for a boy
so can't we just pretend
that i'm older than i really am
but then, only little girls pretend
The first two songs remind me of The Carpenters. And I don't think I would have recognised them as being by Tori, Just Ellen however is unmistakably the Tori voice I know and love!
Thanks for posting - was interesting to listen to!
