musically, does this song make anyone else think of Carbon?
Maybe it's just the piano at the beginning of the song.

I listened to it this morning and was waiting for her to start with the line, "To you it's another day..." - uh, which means I definitely hear similarities to Tombigbee AND Carbon.

The intro reminds me of "Preicous Things" and the end reminds my of "Caught A Lite Sneeze". GREAT TUNE!

Am I the only one who always wants to sing:
"But baby I would let your darkness invade me
You could maybe turn this white light into gravy."
Maybe I'm just really hungry.

Hey, same here. In my review in my journal I was saying how this song feels too cluttered and confused to me and it'll take a long time for me to get used to it. Well, that long time was about a week  I like it a lot now! |

I love this one, especially the end. It reminds me of how she reworked songs for the On Scarlet's Walk tour. It feels very much like it could be a much older song because it has that piano, but the drums do remind me of how older songs sounded on the last tour.. still powerful and with their recognizable piano tunes, but a little more demure than in previous years. Yea. I love this one, though, it was my initial fave, I think.

Danielle!!!*runs over and knocks her down with a hug, her "laptop" slipping and hitting pavement, lol* Oh yes, I like what you had to say about the song. But right now I just want to hold onto you! Nice to see you. I was hoping the new album would bring you around here.  ;D

aww It's nice to be back. I'm really starting to get into the album now. I think I had wrote it off as being too 'adult contemporary' before I had even gotten it, but now that I've had a chance to get to know the songs a little better, I'm really starting to like it. Yay Tori |

(OMG, Danielle!!!!!)
----------------------------
Ah, good old-fashioned Tori! Obscure lyrics? Check. Rhythm jumping all over the place in a way Bryan Adams could never cope with? Check. Awesome piano playing underlying it all? CHECK!
This song was never going to be an instant favourite, simply because there's rather too much to take in on a first listen. Rhythm wise, this is quite possibly the 'jumpiest' song she's ever done, not because the rhythm changes more often but because the speed feels faster than comparable songs (like Spark, God, Carbon or Datura). But mostly it's a three-in-a-bar whirl, and once you get to know where the hiccups are, it seems to me to flow very smoothly indeed. I've seen comments about this song having no melody or being all over place, to which my only response is to think people simply haven't put the effort in to learning the song.
Should music listening be something that takes effort? If you want to move beyond Three Blind Mice and other nursery rhymes, yes.
The song that instantly leapt to mind when hearing Barons of Suburbia for the first time was Carbon (from the Scarlet's Walk album). It's almost like this is what would have happened if the hesitant, wrong key introduction of Carbon had been more confident in itself. 'Barons' launches with plenty of energy and keeps on going.
Correct that last statement: this song actually gathers energy towards the end. I've never seen Tori live (sigh, I was born in the wrong part of the planet) but from the concert recordings I've heard, the last section of this song is easily the closest she has come to catching her live performance style in the studio. There's an edge in her voice that's very exciting, as if she's really caught up in the moment and throwing herself into it.

I have thought this song is about our Mother Earth and the barons who take the right to jump on her breasts. Am I alone with this?

I love "Barons of Suburbia" because of the end. Very old school Tori with the yelling, I love that about ther.
This is my interpretation of it:
I think this song is about half-assed people. People who will screw you over and won't even be sorry for it. They are truly childish and will never really mature. It's like, when they are acting this foolish you start to think about when everything went wrong with them. They must've been an okay infant right? Some kind of darkness must have invaded them to become this hideous.
