About this listen

Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry's most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in 'Me and a Gun' to her post-9/11 album Scarlet's Walk to her latest album Native Invader, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political.

Amos began playing piano as a teenager for the politically powerful at hotel bars in Washington, DC, during the formative years of the post-Goldwater and then Koch-led libertarian and Reaganite movements. The story continues to her time as a hungry artist in LA to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career. Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures - and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalised always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches listeners to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and #TimesUp, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world.

Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice - and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos' canon - this audiobook is for listeners determined to steer the world back in the right direction.

Intelligent, thought provoking and grounding, I have loved Tori ever since Crucify stopped me in my tracks all those years ago. Thanks for helping my life and others make sense in a crazy world.

Have followed Tori’s career from when Little Earthquakes was released and have been in love with her ever since. This is a must listen for any fan with Tori narrating so beautifully, offering insight and depths to her lyrics, her life, her career and her creative process. Bliss.

Goddess

Tori offers so much of her creative process here through anecdotes and memories. It’s a very moving and emotional experience.

A deep journey, valuable for artists.

Hearing Tori reading the book is almost like an out of body experience. Each chapter is a title of her discography and she tells a chronological story of the political events of America from the 70s and onward and how they reflected on her art and her life.

A masterpiece

I bought the book and struggled to read it, it just didn't grab me. On the recommendation of a friend I bought the audiobook and am so pleased I did.

The book and the stories have so much more resonance when you listen to Tori telling them to you. I had travelled these journeys and felt these emotions with her in a way I never could if I'd stuck with 'just reading the book'.

Whether you are a Tori Amos fan or not, I encourage you to read/listen to this book, especially if you yourself are an artist of any form. Tori speaks honestly about her own art and her methods, but also talks about being honest with ourselves, being brave and never compromising except on your own terms.

Amazing read.
