Tori Amos

Wanted to share this beautifully dark Tori Amos song from the mid nineties that I suddenly and unexpectedly find myself drawn to. I suppose it helps me through the grieving process. It's a song she wrote after her first miscarriage. 

"Spark"

She's addicted to nicotine patches

She's addicted to nicotine patches

She's afraid of the light in the dark

6:58 are you sure where my spark is

Here

Here

Here


She's convinced she could hold back a glacier

But she couldn't keep Baby alive

Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere

Here


You say you don't want it again

And again but you don't really mean it

You say you don't want it

This circus we're in

But you don't you don't really mean it

You don't really mean it


If the Divine master plan is perfection

Maybe next I'll give Judas a try

Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin

Here


You say you don't want it again

And again but you don't really mean it

You say you don't want it

This cirucs we're in

But you don't you don't really mean it

You don't really mean it


How may fates turn around in the overtime

Ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find

You thought that you were the bomb yeah

Well so did I

Say you don't want it

Say you don't want it

Say you don't want it again

And again but you don't really mean it

Say you don't want it

This circus we're in

But you don't you don't really mean it

You don't really mean it


She's addicted to nicotine patches

She's afraid of the light in the dark

6:58 are you sure where my spark is

  1. This is one of my all time favourite songs ever.

    I love Tori Amos, I swear she writes some of her songs just for me. :P

    Sending you love and hugs.

  2. Wow, I had no idea that's what that song was about. There is something comforting to hearing and artist's spin on this whole mess. Hope you're feeling better every day.

  3. Tori Amos helped me survive high school and undergrad. I probably should have paid tuition to that woman instead. ;)

    hugs to you...

  5. This inspires me to get out some of my old Tori CD's and give them a listen. I liked that album a lot...

  6. She is my hero, frankly. I turn to her for many things. Yup, I think I am gonna blast her on my stereo right now.
