Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Spark
Amos-Tori - From The Choirgirl Hotel
Amos Wrote "Spark" After Suffering A Miscarriage. She Discussed The Song In An Article From Q Magazine In May 1998. “Y'know Once You've Felt Life In Your Body You Can't Go Back To Having Been A Woman That's Never Carried Life. The Other Thing Is Feeling Something Dying Inside You And You're Still Alive. Obviously When It Was Happening It Was Already Over But In My Mind You Don't Know That It's Over Yet. You're Doing Anything Thinking 'Oh God Maybe If I Put A Cork Up Myself Maybe It'll Keep This Little Life In.' That's Why In 'Spark' I Say 'She's Convinced She Could Hold Back A Glacier/But She Couldn't Keep Baby Alive.' You Just Start Going Insane. There's Nothing You Can Do So So You Surrender And Then... Start Again.”
