I don't think I've read many of the lyrics to any of these songs, but I always cringed at the "listen to your heart" part. I'm glad to read the rest and find that they are very well crafted.

What always surprises me is how much the tracks sound like the original song! I guess I was expecting Tori would have expanded on some of the melodies a little more - like the piano shop video from 94 or whatever where she took Ode to Joy and made it sound sexy and playful. I guess she's held back in a lot of ways for these tracks - keeping the melodies mostly in tact as a respectful nod to their creators.
