34. Tori Amos - Silent All These Years
Found On: Little Earthquakes (1991)
A classic off of Tori's solo debut. But the question remains: What use does a mermaid have for jeans?

I was always told that this song is about a rape. That the "silent all these years" is about the inability to speak out about what happened but sometimes she "hears her voice" and now she's finally shouting out what happened. I don't know if it's true, or if it's even about Tori, but as someone who has been abused (not raped, but abused and unable to scream it out for a long time) it definitely struck a chord with me...

From what I have heard- Tori was assaulted and raped.
