The UK Past The Mission single includes a live version of Past The Mission, recorded in Chicago, IL on March 24, 1994.
"With Past the Mission, there's hope. Past the mission, I smell the roses, and Trent sings on it. I wanted him to sing on it because of his energy. I love Trent's work. Past the Mission wanted him to sing on it. Past the Mission is a love story. It's kind of a strange one in that it's me again, still trying to find pieces that I've left other places. It kind of breaks my heart when I hear him sing with me, I once knew a hot girl. Where is she now? She can come back again. It's that same thing, where in Pretty Good Year and Past the Mission and Space Dog, where everything is reclaimable. ...there's also a bit of the Mary Magdalene/Jesus relationship in Past the Mission, because I was reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail at the time. It has a lot of thoughts. It's a very long book about a historical viewpoint on everything, with the Cathars and all that happened in the Pyrenees, and the Merevindian dynasty and the whole nine yards. It's an interesting read. It opened my mind up a bit. More than anything, it was the sexual relations, even if it's just with yourself, surrounding the oppression of the church, and that's where Past the Mission again -- it's really freeing to me, that song. I've always kind of -- there's no resolve, either."
-- Tori; The Baltimore Sun, '94
"Directions were always interesting...'o.k. honey what you gotta do is you know the Wal-Mart? well keep going soon you'll see a road across from the chevron take a left and follow that road till you see a bright turquoisey painted bird house
it's right after the creek at the bird house it's not the first dirt road but the second go on down past the mission and you wanna take a right and you can't miss it'"
-- Tori; Under The Pink Songbook
