Air planes take you away again Are you flying above where we live Then I look up a glare in my eyes Are you having regrets about last night I'm not... | See the rest of the song lyrics |

The Beekeeper returns the quirky singer to the same whimsical terrain of 1992's Little Earthquakes, but with much stronger storylines, and a much more assured and nuanced voice.
-
Her most down-to-earth album in years, because Ms. Amos has decided she doesn't have to pack every impulse into every song. Sometimes, now, a simple melody and a steady groove are enough. [21 Feb 2005]
-
You can delve as deeply into the lyrics and musical brain-teasers as you like, but there's plenty of surface allure for anyone who just fancies a superficial graze.
-
Tori Amos delivers some of the most accessible music of her career, coupled with beautifully obscure lyrics.
-
Many of these underwritten, underproduced tunes sound as if Amos could have composed them in the supermarket express lane.
-
The Beekeeper suffers from too much of the glossy stuff that floats on top, and too little foundation on which to keep itself grounded.
-
The realisation is obvious: a happy, contented, motherly Tori Amos is as irrelevant, sterile, and airbrushed as her face is on the cover of this album. Tori: it’s over.
