Open Your Ears Wk 25


Tori Amos - Spark

*stolen from Wikipedia*

Amos was born in Newton, North Carolina. When she was two, her family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she began to play the piano. By age five, she had begun composing instrumental pieces on piano and, while living in Rockville, Maryland, she won a full scholarship to the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Conservatory of Music.[4] Her scholarship was discontinued at age 11 and she was asked to leave. Amos has asserted that she lost the scholarship because of her interest in rock and popular music, coupled with her dislike for reading from sheet music.[4] At the age of 14, she began playing at piano bars, chaperoned by her father.[4]

this is a song about miscarriage of all things, but its hauntingly beautiful and heartfelt and truly a brilliant piece of songwriting
