4. 'The Beekeeper' was musically inspired by the relationship between the Bosendorfer and what other instrument?

Answer: B3 Hammond Organ

"The Beekeeper is musically inspired by the fact that the piano has realized that she has an organ - with my right hand on her organ and my left hand on her piano keys, I have been changed by the relationship between these two beautiful creatures, the Bosendorfer piano and the B3 Hammond organ." - Tori Amos

7. The song 'Parasol' was inspired by an Impressionist painting 'Seated Woman With A Parasol'. Who is the artist?

Answer: Seurat

"I was drawn to this woman in this painting, even though we're so different in so many ways as far as, now if you're a woman in 2005, if you're in the west, then you don't have to um, be told who to marry and you can go work and you can have a child without being married and all those kinds of things.

But still, I was relating to her because she seemed to be able to weather the storm." - Tori Amos
8. What word was the starting point for the song 'The Power of Orange Knickers'?

Answer: terrorist

"I wanted to write a song about terrorists. It's a word that's been used and misused a lot in the last few years. Therefore, sometimes to emancipate a word, you have to undress it. And as I started to undress it, I found a lot of things there. And if you start exploring it, all the correlations and just the word associations, you might get certain images in your mind." - Tori Amos (from yessaid.com)
9. The song 'Ireland' is about what Irish author?

Answer: Joyce

"...When I was writing 'Ireland,' I was reading some book a journalist had given me about James Joyce and I was drawn into that fabric that made up his tapestry, his life. There was a spoiled nun who taught him the names of the mountains on the moon... " - Tori Amos 'Piece by Piece'
10. What was included with 'The Beekeeper Special Edition with Bonus DVD'?

Answer: seed packet

The seed packet is a wild flower mix prepared especially for 'The Beekeeper' to compliment its garden theme.
