Resistance

A Songwriter's Story of Hope, Change, and Courage

By: Tori Amos

Narrated by: Tori Amos

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A timely and passionate call to action for engaging with our current political moment, from the Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum singer-songwriter and New York Times bestselling author Tori Amos.

Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in “Me and a Gun” to her post-9/11 album, Scarlet’s Walk, to 2017’s Native Invader, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political.

From her time as a teenager playing hotel bars in Washington, DC, for the politically powerful to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career, Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures—and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalized always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches us to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and Time’s Up, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world.

Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice—and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos’s canon—Resistance is for anyone determined to steer the world back in the right direction.

essential for artists

Moving, beautiful, songs heard anew as poetry, and most of all inspiring. Be ready to have the muses lift you into Tori's dimension while listening. Every word carefully considered. Her message is essential for artists, feminist, and those in the resistance of tyranny. Enjoy.

A must!

Beautifully written and read by Tori Amos. I highly recommend, to Tori fans and interested people on a journey.

A must for any ears with feet

This is such an experience. You get the emotion when you have this audio. She even goes off book for a moment. She also has such a calm and soothing speaking voice. I can’t say enough except to just get this audio book already. It is with it!!!

Songs explained

This book is so important. Hearing how Tori takes current political issues and weaves it into a song, with the muses’ help, was so empowering. As an Ear with Feet, I knew some of the background stories to the early songs, but hearing Tori tell the stories in her own voice was so special.

Amazing to hear Tori Amos and hear her emotions

Such emotion and truth. She explained alot about her artistic process, and background of her songs.
