Talk:1000 Fires

Genre

There have been some questions about the album's genre lately. It is predominantly labeled as a techno and electronica album. Many sources, included throughout the article, claim that. Hi-NRG is listed on its AllMusic page. JAEVI (talk) 08:54, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Father's Field

This article states twice that Traci revealed her rape experience on the song "Father's Field"; I believe that is a mistake.

On page 213 of her 2003 autobiography, Underneath It All, Traci writes, “I spent my free time in the hotel room staring out the window at the ocean below. Listening to a new artist named Tori Amos, I became inspired by the candid stories she told in her lyrics. She sang about being raped, and I found myself writing about the same thing, filling notebooks with random thoughts from years before. I titled that section of words ‘Father’s Field,’ although it had nothing to do with my father’s field. My father’s backyard brought such vivid images to my mind that that’s where my story character was placed.”

Also, Traci’s father was a resident of Weirton, West Virginia, not Steubenville, Ohio. In her autobiography, Steubenville is where Traci says she was assaulted (not Weirton). If you look at the May 1995 Details magazine interview with Traci, you’ll see that “Father’s Field” was originally mistaken as a true account of assault, but Traci corrected that misperception in her 2003 autobiography.
