A Sorta Fairytale
"A Sorta Fairytale" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter and pianist Tori Amos. It was released as the first single from her seventh studio album Scarlet's Walk (2002). The song reached No. 14 on the U.S. Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, and number two on the Triple A (adult album alternative) chart. The song has since been featured in episodes of the television shows Nip/Tuck and The L Word. There are three commercially released versions of the song: the album version (5:30), the 101 Mix (4:00) and the original single version (4:01). It was released as a CD single (UK/Canada) with "Operation Peter Pan" as the B-side (which marked her final B-side to date), and as a DVD single (U.S.) with the music video, co-starring actor and visual artist Adrien Brody.
From the promotional CD Scarlet Stories:
I think that there is a place where she [Scarlet] realizes that people come in and out of your life. Sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer. And all of them make you what you are. You can't separate these people out of you. They form who you are. Even the ones that you kind of say well... you know, I don't know if I wanna be formed by them anymore. (laughs) But you are in some way. You are. That's why, maybe, you don't have to look at them so harshly because they have affected you. At the end, though, you know... it's us as individuals with our... mm... with our love for the land. For something intangible, that when soulmates come and go, you're never alone even when you're standing just you in your shoes, because you carry them with you.
"A Sorta Fairytale" finds Scarlet back in LA with a man she has convinced herself is her life's soul mate.
They take the big trip in the classic car up the Pacific Coast highway and across the desert. But as they go on, the masks drop away and they discover the fantasy they have of each other isn't who they really are.
They end up back where they started and Scarlet leaves.
They did care. But somehow they lost each other. Which is why it's only "A Sorta Fairytale." - [Scarlet's Walk bio]
In a 2009 interview, Amos was asked about the meaning of one of the lines:
