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.

American Pie Lyrics
Tori Amos
In the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
And not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
The three men I admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died
They were singing bye bye miss american pie
I drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singing thisll be the day that I die, thisll be the day that I die
And the three men I admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died
