Tori Quotes
"Zero Point -- your time is coming." [to venus and back liner notes - 1999]
There was no real reason why "Zero Point" didn't end up on Venus except that I was over-sensitive about a certain gardening issue, so "Datura" made the final cut instead. Maybe waiting to mix this has enhanced it somewhat because you do bring a certain perspective when you can step away from a song for a while. It's not always a better one, but I do think in "Zero Point"'s case it was to her benefit that I was garden-obsessed in 1999. [A Piano liner notes - 2006]
Amos says 'Zero Point' was inspired by Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series, which concerns the writings of the ancient Sumerians and their ideas regarding time. "It talks about Rome ending -- B.C. and then A.D. -- and the idea of what was supposed to happen at zero point," she explains. "I found there to be a strange correlation between America being the super power that it is and Rome being the super power that it was, and what comes along with that kind of power... how you can really forget the responsibility that you have to humanity. The ego becomes bigger than spirituality." [AOL Music News Blog - September 11, 2006]
