Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos; August 22, 1963) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter and composer. Amos originally served as the lead singer of 1980s synthpop group Y Kant Tori Read, and as a solo artist was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s. She was also noteworthy early in her solo career as one of the few alternative rock performers to use a piano as her primary instrument. Some of her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "God", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", "1000 Oceans", and "A Sorta Fairytale", her most commercially successful single in the U.S. to date.
As of 2005, Amos had sold 12 million albums worldwide. She has been nominated for 8 Grammy Awards. Amos was also named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1996.
Amos was born in Newton, North Carolina. When she was two, her family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she began to play the piano. By age five, she had begun composing instrumental pieces on piano and, while living in Rockville, Maryland, she won a full scholarship to the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Her scholarship was discontinued at age 11 and she was asked to leave. Amos has asserted that she lost the scholarship because of her interest in rock and popular music, coupled with her dislike for reading from sheet music. In 1972, The Amos family moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, where her father, Reverend Edison Amos, became pastor of the Good Shepherd United Methodist church. At the age of 13 she began playing at gay bars and piano bars, chaperoned by her father.

Gay It Forward PSA featuring BD Wong
Baby come back, hear me out
Is there any way to reach you now
Sitting on the edge
Thinking out loud
Maybe there is something that you know
Something that only you know
Crying out loud, i wanna do good
I do it all for you if i could
The way it looks now
From where i stood
Maybe there is something that you know
Something that only you know
Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
You'll get it if you dont give up
Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
You'll get it if you dont give up
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad (2x)
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad (2x)
If you want it bad enough
Take a little time
Think this through
See it from another point of view
Putting myself in any ol shoes
Maybe there is somewhere that you go
Somewhere that only you go
Trying to move on
All the way down
Waiting for your head to hit the ground
Whatever you're in
We'll figure it out
Maybe there is something i do now
That wherever you go
(Repeat Chorus)
all in your head
all in your head
it's all in your head
you can fight this illusion
all in your head
all in your head
you can fight this illusion
all in your head
it's all in your head
you can fight this illusion
all in your head
it's all in your head
you can fight this illusion
