MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By March 3rd of 1994…
this song was making noise on the Modern Rock chart

And it made a lot of people uncomfortable.

Tori Amos.

“God.”

(Music Cut #2)

It can be found on Under the Pink –
the same album that gave us “Cornflake Girl.”

But while she was recording “God”…
she was chasing a sound.

Not a lyric.

but something crunchy.

(Music Cut #3)

So she and her producer grabbed a box of cereal.

Corn Flakes.

Shook it.
Crushed it.
Held it up directly into a microphone.

That scratchy rhythm heard under the verses?

It’s not just for the breakfast bowl

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
