America
the other America
you can find her sundays
sitting by a stream
on her own
all alone
the other America
might show up on tuesdays
at your kitchen door
she will ask politely
"is anybody home?
or did they all lay down
to sleep through the now
and if they all lay down
I'll be waiting for them
at the river bed
once they wake from their rest"
the other America
takes herself to night school
to understand the law
she may bring you questions
when she finds the flaw
"why did they all lay down
to sleep through the now
and if they all lay down
I'll be waiting for them
at the river bed
once they wake from their rest"
we could be opening a doorway
globally, but that's okay
once upon a time you had faith
you would not be swayed
by fools untouched by clairvoyance
and you swore that we'd be brave
well not today
no not today
because we all lay down
to sleep through the now
and if we all lay down
she'll be waiting for us
where the rivers cross
once we wake from our rest
"all the best," The Other America

I remember buying Little Earthquakes back in 92...where does the time go? Nice to hear that Tori's voice still sounds ethereally powerful - and still looking uniquely beautiful too.

[@schubertuk]

Snap! For me "Little Earthquakes" is perhaps the greatest debut album of all time. Yes, there are some other really strong contenders, and it is, of course, a matter of personal taste. But Tori, her music & her voice have a special places in my heart.

[@molnardian]

I saw Tori Amos preform at The Vic and The Bismark in Chicago maybe back in 1993 or 1994.
I still remember both concerts.🔥

Thank you Tori for a dose of reality, Raisin girl here not doing so swell in this America, but I'm hanging upside down. 🌹

[@Dio_Genesss]

Time to wake up, America... it's time to wake up.

[@iulianfulger8351]

This sounds like song from Scarlet's Walk.

That within the „Kitchen“ i do not understand by Kate Bush too.

[@MuzterLilmus-gd8le]

Listen to Winston Churchill and listen to aleister Crowley and incantation...it's oddly similar

[@ellemnop123]

Yes, she's in the river, laying down to rest. Beautiful. She's unwell, she's been poisoned, she's in a trance induced by chemicals and never-ending industry. RFK Jr will regulate the industries, will clean the rivers, will save America -- if he's given a chance. America, I'm voting for you. Thank you, Tori.

[@cRmcRs]

What I wouldn't give to ask her! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

@@J_LorraineK She doesn't specify what the song is about. We might be sleeping and fighting at the same time, like zombies. Peace
