Born Myra Ellen Amos, the daughter of Reverend Edison Amos and Mary Ellen Amos, on August 22, 1963, in North Carolina. She was a piano prodigy from the beginning, playing by ear at age 2 1/2, and writing her own songs by age 4. It's been said that by age 5, she could play anything on the piano after hearing it only once. She won a scholarship at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland - the youngest person ever to be admitted there. She always ran into trouble there, as they discouraged her from composing her own music.

’til The Chicken Lyrics
Tori Amos
So some say she got green enough field
And some say she got too many strings
With petticoats out and goin hall gown
The sweetest nylon no not where shes gone
Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings
Some say she got plenty of stark
Some say she got some divas and kramer
Why all this spare then shaking her tail
The sweetest nylon no not where shes gone
Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings
Until the little chicken come home
