創作動機，tori如是說
"[The song] comes from a few places. It started with a dream I had. An African
woman was singing to me singing the melody, humming it to me. I got up and
found the piano, got up at 5:45 a.m., recorded the melody and went back to bed."
Inspiration for lyrics came later when her father-in-law died in February. Amos
matched
the feelings that accompany emotional isolation with her husband's grieving
process. Her husband is Mark Hawley, one of her engineers.
"They were so incredibly close that 1,000 Oceans seemed to be the only thing
that
could bring him out of his sadness. He'd come out and sit and say, 'Could you
play that one, the ocean song?' It became about feeling close to people you
can't reach, seeing this depth of love for this person who was gone."
From "Death in Mexican desert haunted, inspired Tori Amos", Charlotte
Observer,
September 17 1999, by Lindsey Henry.
