(1) Emerging i… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists that go by the name TOR.
(1) Emerging in late 2012 with a sound that was all his own, Tor’s debut album ‘Drum Therapy’ was the culmination of over a decade of quietly honing his craft, merging the aesthetics of dusty samples with polished production, addictive melody and distinctive driving percussion. After catching the attention of Emancipator, it became the first release to launch his new label Loci Records. Even though Tor’s background had been strictly studio-based, he quickly found footing in the touring world supporting established acts like Emancipator & Bluetech on national U.S. tours, performing at multiple festivals such as Shambhala, BassCoast, What The Festival & Burning Man, in addition to remixing artists like ODESZA.
Now over 3 years since his debut, Tor returns with his sophomore album ‘Blue Book’. It serves as the perfect follow up – a natural evolution of the best qualities of his previous work, while pushing his sound forward with new sonic palettes, ideas and tempos. Named after a childhood drawing book, the album references a raw creative time in Tor’s life with the theme of reconnecting with that part of him after years of looking for purpose. It’s a record that plays like a journey from start to finish, with rhythmic bell patterns, chopped vocal harmonies, atmospheric swells, warm basslines, and a newfound love of analog synthesizers all taking his songs to new levels, and establishes that Tor is an artist whose trajectory will be exciting to follow for years to come.

Glass & Stone
Tor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rain did rain his lady gay
Never a fire nor a candlelight
Shine in my bower anymore
The lyrics of Tor's song Glass & Stone convey a sense of longing and sadness as the singer reminisces about a love lost. The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song as it portrays a gloomy, melancholic atmosphere that is further enhanced by the reference to rain. The singer appears to be addressing someone, possibly his love, as he talks about the rain and how it showers upon his lady gay, a term referring to a female loved one. The next two lines suggest that the singer is lonely and desolate, with no lights or warmth to comfort him on this sad and rainy night. It seems that he is mourning the loss of a loved one, who may be gone forever.
The last line, "Shine in my bower anymore," could be interpreted in a couple of ways. A bower is a secluded shelter or arbor, and its mention could indicate that the singer has been left alone since the loved one left. The use of "anymore" implies that there was a time when there was light and warmth in the bower, but this has now disappeared. Alternatively, the line could mean that the loved one used to provide light and warmth to the singer's life but is no longer there to do so. Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of loss and longing, painting a melancholic picture that is set against a backdrop of rain and darkness.

Oh it was a sad and a rainy night
The night was filled with sadness as it rained heavily
And the rain did rain his lady gay
The rain poured heavily, drenching his lady who was probably happy
Never a fire nor a candlelight
There was no warmth or light in the singer's home
Shine in my bower anymore
The artist's home was no longer a place of comfort or welcome

I've been sitting here listening to this for a while now, I would like to leave a deep comment; & this doesn't deserve a generic epic, great & wow comment, but the words escape me. The best way I can express this at the moment is "I feel this track" & this is the opening track O_o... Your album will be my next purchase.
