The PS22 Chorus performing Pretty Good Year by Tori Amos


PS22 Chorus performing "Pretty Good Year" by Tori Amos
~Amazing solo by Alicea~

The PS22 Chorus is definitely something to see. The kids are lead by Gregg Breinberg. Breinberg is a huge Tori Amos fan and he has his kids cover a lot of her songs. Being that I'm a huge Tori fan myself I thoroughly enjoy his selections.

I sometimes wonder what the kids think of Tori Amos' music. Tori fans have spent years theorizing about Tori's songs and trying to decipher her beautifully strange poeticism.

Pretty Good Year by Tori Amos
From the 1994 album Under the Pink

Tears on the sleeve of a man
Don't want to be a boy today
Heard the eternal footman
Bought himself a bike to race
And Greg he writes letters and burns his cds
They say you were something in those formative years
Hold onto nothing as fast as you can
Well still pretty good year

Maybe a bright sandy beach
Is gonna bring you back
Maybe not so now you're off
You're gonna see America
Well let me tell you something about America
Pretty good year
Some things are melting now
Well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright

And Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
Sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in
Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed
Well still pretty good year
