  3&66%s+ Tori Amos+ music that sends a strongmessage

"I was gonna take a year off, but the songs just demanded

that I tell their story, and their story was about life under the

 pink. That's why the album is called Under the Pink. These

are just some of the different lies that happen in that world.

If you ripped eerybody's skin off, we're all pink, the way I

see it. !nd this is about what's going on inside of that.That's what I'm really interested in, not the outer world but

the inner world. There are many other songs that lie under

the pink. These are just a few of them, these are just the

girls who decided to come to the party."
