90's Nostalgia: Tori Amos- 'Crucify'


"I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves?
Every day I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself"

Tori Amos has always been the kind of woman that leaves a lasting impression. Her song "Crucify" was the breakout song from Tori's Little Earthquakes album back in 1992 and it also served as a bit of a calling card. In a sea of grunge bands and flannel, this redhead armed with a unique voice and piano really stood out. She became the alternative to what we already had established as, alternative music. Over the years Amos has always remained true to the style that brought her to our attention in the first place. 

I remember "Crucify" being played like crazy on college radio and wondering if everyone would ever catch on to how great of an artist Tori was. Then one Saturday morning after an episode of Dance Party USA a teen interview show featured a whole segment on her. I don't remember details of the interview but it made me like her even more. Check out the video that kicked off Tori's career below!

90's Nostalgia: Tori Amos- 'Crucify'

Tori Amos - she will remain one of my all time favorite music artists.  Her music served a purpose for me.:

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves?
Every day I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself

Currently Booming: Tori Amos on Ocean 98 to Promote Netflix Doc 'Audrie & Daisy'


Ocean 98's Bulldog & The Rude Awakening show had the privilege of chatting with Tori Amos this morning about her latest endeavor. Fans of Amos already are well aware of her decades-long work with sexual assault survivors and the documentary that she is currently promoting is one that everyone should take the time to watch. "Audrie & Daisy" will premiere on Netflix beginning on 9-23-16 and it focuses not only on the assault of two young women but also the bullying that follows an already traumatic experience. 

Amos is hoping that everyone will tune in and that this documentary will help to start a very necessary dialog. We hear about college kids being assaulted because those stories often make national news, but a lot of parents don't realize that these same scenarios are happening to girls in middle school. Take a listen to our interview with Amos this morning and then be sure to catch "Audrie & Daisy" on Netflix!
