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.

Black Swan Lyrics
Tori Amos
Ride on, ride on friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on do you know where shes gone?
Gumdrops and saturdays, did eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew, and he knew where the pillow goes.
Ride on, ride on friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on you know where shes gone.
Buttercups and fishing flies the biggest thickest ever sky.
I know they know something.
I know.
Ride on, ride on now friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on you know where shes gone.
Little green men do o.k.,
Its the fairies revenge they say,
And gumdrops and saturdays, did eric call by the way?
Mm, la la, ride on, ride on, ride on
