What are your thoughts on this song? I actually like it a lot, but it gives me a headache! I don't know why, but it does. It's a shame since it is a great track.
A friend told me a have headache when I hear this song because it was written in a 4/3 something while regular songs are written in 4/2 something. I don't really remember what he said, hehe, but it was something along those lines...

My. Favorite. Song. Ever.
Not just favorite Tori song
Favorite song of any song ever recorded in the history of music!
It has EVERYTHING I look for in a good song:
*AMAZING dynamics, with slow verses, a hard hitting chorus, and then a thunderous bridge
*BEAUTIFUL vocals from a low whisper, to an operatic high, to a passionate yell.
*MEANINGFUL lyrics with metaphorical references to what the song is about
It's perfect. Tori's most genius piece of music. It's sad that it stemmed from such a tragic situation though :(

Spark reached #49 on the Hot 100 in 1998 mostly by diehard Amos fans buying the CD single

This is one of Tori's best. I love all of From the Choirgirl Hotel and this certainly one of the standouts along with "Raspberry Swirl" and "Jackie's Strength."

I totally feel this one. I think I discovered this on my own, as in the file sharing days.

This was about the miscarriage she suffered at the time. The video really is a masterpiece.
#16 in the UK charts, #49 in the US.

Such memories this song (and album) have for me. I was living in Denver in a tiny studio apartment. I can't believe that was 18 years ago already! Huge fan of Tori's since Earthquakes. Love this album - every song. This darker more rock-leaning style of songs (like Siren and Caught A Lite Sneeze and Raspberry Swirl) are arguably my favorite Tori songs overall. I keep wanting her to revisit this kind of sound. This last album had a few moments but nothing that really serves me FIRE.

"Spark" was the first single from Tori Amos' 1998 album From the Choirgirl Hotel. It was written after Tori suffered a miscarriage. The song was a top 20 hit in the UK, and a radio hit in the US at Modern Rock (#13) and Triple A (#18), and managed a #49 peak on the Hot 100.
