Etienne that is the second part of The Etienne Trilogy on the Y Kant Tori Read album, and is the only part which includes lyrics. The Etienne Trilogy is considered one single track containing The Highlands, Etienne and The Skyeboat Song.
I: I remember when Y Kant Tori Read came out in 1988, and how much I liked Etienne Trilogy, - and how I thought, especially being the last cut, that it was different than the other songs on the album. Was that more of what you were wanting to do?
T: Not necessarily, it was more just me at the piano.
I: Which is what you've really done since, though.
T: But you can't compare Precious Things and Waitress and Cruel to Etienne Trilogy, you know what I mean? Or obviously I wouldn't have made the four records I just made (laughs). There is a bit of the balladeer in me, and that comes across on all the records also, but the records aren't just ballad records as you well know. But I do think that Etienne, as a song, was more of what I was doing before I came to L.A.
-- Tori; The Performing Songwriter Magazine, Sept/Oct '98
This song is available in sheet music form in the Tori Amos Bee Sides and the Tori Amos Anthology songbooks.
