Tori Amos Offers All Moms a Mother's Day Gift -- Exclusive Download

This Mother's Day, Tori Amos wanted to extend a special gift to all mothers in the best way she knows how: with song. 'Maybe California' -- off her May 19th-due album, 'Abnormally Attracted to Sin' -- was written, as she describes it, from one mother to another, who, as the lyrics explore, is contemplating suicide. The tune itself is meant as a saving grace, of sorts.

"There are people in our lives, and we all know them, that are able to give even in the darkest of times," Amos, who has an 8-year-old daughter, Natashya, says. "Even when they seem depleted. But somehow by giving, they gain this magical light. Even the most giving person needs a gift every once and a while, just to know they are seen and appreciated. 'Maybe California' is my gift to you."

I can't believe it. Im in California with my mum and it's mother's day. Neither of us have ever been here before. I showed this to her and she really liked it.
Strange things..

Uhhhh- so torn. Fan from the begining like many.. but lately w/ TBK, ADP and now AATS I am losing my way. On these discs many songs lack passion and depth. Sorry they come across as silly and/or shallow. They just feel blah. Many on ADP were to me, way over the top. It's hard for a long time fan to admit that b/w song choices, all the continued showy, costum-y stuff is driving this fan farther and farther away. Truly it saddens me.

Every time I think she can't possibly come up with more unique and wonderful music, she does. Thank you, Tori, again.

Thank you Tori for this - this message WAS me a little under 6 months ago and I'm here to tell you ladies..even if it seems like the end of the road, and you're not sure what to do in regards to the boyfriends/husbands that are holding you down and keeping you tethered because you're afraid of your kids well being - you CAN leave. I did it, and you can too.

I've been an Ear with Feet for 16 years now, and while the song is beautiful, I am a bit concerned about the last two videos... SNOOZE fest 2009. Come on Tori! You gave us awesome videos like Winter and Cornflake Girl and Sorta Fairy Tale, what's with the videos of you just walking?

this song is really bad. Tori Amos has gone down the crapper.
