Neil Gaiman was right on when he created the character Delirium of the Endless, inspired by Tori Amos.
Actually I think that if the Endless ever became a movie (God I hope not, it’s perfect as it is) Tori could also play Death, she has that calmness that comes with having seen it all. On a side note, Nick Cave would have done great as Dream, PJ Harvey as Desire/Despair, Bono’s McPhisto as a sexy version of Destruction, and maybe the great Johnny Cash as Destiny.
But back to Tori Amos. She belongs to a handful of artists that defy description. She was there long before the Alanis Morrissettes, and way before the Gagas. As singers go by, she’s pretty much perfect.
Her lyrics deal with sometimes very personal subjects (such as rape, her relationship with her father, God, love) and the way she plays that piano is just insanely beautiful.
Tear in your hands is one of my favourite songs ever and by itself a great reason to get Little Earthquakes.
Reminds me of: U2 (feat McPhisto) Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Car, Nick Cave Into my arms (and of pretty much everything he does), Johnny Cash hurt, The Endless, Mike Carey’s character Lucifer.
9/10 this is an album to cherish
