Tori Amos Discusses Tragedy And Musical Life As A Mother
(9/17/01, 10 a.m. ET) -- Tori Amos was in New York City when the terrorists struck Tuesday (September 11). She wrote on her website: "Those of you who are strong need to be there for those who have lost someone. We have to be here for each other right now."
Amos will release her album of song interpretations, Strange Little Girls, on September 25. Amos told LAUNCH that her life has changed since her marriage and birth of her daughter Nyatasha, who is now 1 year old.
"As a songwriter a lot of my work has been about frustration, and that's what it was supposed to be about at that time," she said. "Because that's what I was going through. Is there a place to write about the experiences that I've been through in the last couple of years? We'll see. Because it's not really about frustration now. There are different things that come up."
She added, "You can never go back. You can't be that person alone in an apartment bitter and gutted. That's not where I am right now."
