Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

A definitive 90s statement of piano-led catharsis. Raw, baroque, and unflinchingly honest, it moves from delicate whispers to thunderous emotional peaks.

It's the record that proved a piano could be just as loud and angry as a guitar.

A courageous and deeply personal journey through trauma toward self-reclamation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, aggressive entrance of the electric guitar and drums during the bridge of Precious Things.
The stark, chilling silence of the a cappella delivery in Me and a Gun.
The way the piano swells into a cinematic, orchestral bloom during the climax of Winter.

When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He’ll Win the Whole Thing ’Fore He Enters the Ring There’s No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won’t Matter, Cuz You’ll Know That You’re Right
