there's something wrong with the album credits, there's no way this was released in 1987.

"if you need me, me and Neil will be hanging out with the Dream King"
I got into Tori Amos and Sandman comics at about the same time, and the synchronicity of that line blew my tiny young mind!

One of the first Tori songs I was introduced to back in the day (along with 'Winter' and 'China'). I was a sucker, instantly.

 Thanks, Bill! "Emotionally, all these songs come from experiences that trigger them. I haven't chosen to talk much about that side of the songwriting - the seed for all these songs. On the technical side, I heard the music as a steady motion, no change really from verse and chorus, only the bridge that leads straight back like a loop to the same toll booth where you threw in some change to go around only to end up surrounded by the place you left. The only difference is by taking the loop ride you can see the place you left exactly as it is; some sadness, a whole lotta corn field, and a puddle." — Tori; Little Earthquakes Songbook |

One of my very favorite Tori Amos songs. Loved her first two albums, could handle her third, after that - meh.

Ha... I thought: This is great she came out with a new song that sounds like her old songs. It's been so long since I heard this piece... Thanks for playing! Tori's done some terrific stuff.

Blah! I guess I'll go eat worms (which should be more enjoyable than this song).

Well, I actually am NOT a piano player, although I was pretty sure it was the piano pedal. I tend to pay alot of attention to tacets, and this one is one of my very favorites. Sometimes a little silence holds more meaning than all the notes in the world. So it could be "up" (up is called "dropped eh? I never knew that... makes sense) or it could be "down", either way, you KNOW she told them to mic the sound or we'd have never heard it in the final recording. That album was so full of smart and beautiful... as I say, good stuff. pixalman wrote:
I always assumed that sound was the pedal being dropped somewhat forcefully so all the dampers hit pretty loudly. It's been a long time since I played piano, so maybe this was just a faulty memory of sounds from childhood piano lessons?
Either way, it's always a great gift to hear more Tori on RP. The rawness of woman+piano in these early recordings (instrument noise and all) is unequalled in later efforts (except perhaps for the very end of Yes, Anastasia on UTP, but that song has yet to make it into the RP catalog).
