Thank you so much for this article! I am a huge Tori fan, since just after “Under The Pink” came out, but “Little Earthquakes” was the first album of hers I heard all the way through. I had written Tori off with the Nirvana cover, being a little grunge-lovin’ high-schooler: “Who does this chick think she IS?” Then Sassy magazine’s Reader-produced issue had an article called “Albums that changed our lives” or something like that. “Little Earthquakes” was on there; Tori’s lyrics were described as what the author wanted to say in the dark of night but couldn’t. So, I gave it a shot (also ordering it through BMG or Columbia). I was floored. My life absolutely changed (and I too took up piano again). I don’t know who I would be if it weren’t for Tori Amos, as crazy as that sounds. Choosing a favorite song off this album is not an easy task, but I am either in the “Mother” or “Precious Things” camps. Thank you again for writing this!
