Baltimore
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
It's so nice to live here
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's someplace to call my own
It's all kinds of people
familiar places smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
but the 'Birds' are the best
the best of Baltimore
We like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind
We like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
to enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
in a working American city
with all the people who make it that way
it's time to jump in a taxi
for Thirty-third Street
knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go
watching Weaver's show
We like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
we're working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind
on my mind in Baltimore
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's someplace to call my own
It's all kinds of people
familiar places smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
but the 'Birds' are the best
the best of Baltimore
We like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind
We like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
to enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
in a working American city
with all the people who make it that way
it's time to jump in a taxi
for Thirty-third Street
knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go
watching Weaver's show
We like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
we're working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind
on my mind in Baltimore
Baltimore - Tori Amos
Tori Amos's 'Baltimore' stands as a haunting centerpiece in her discography, blending folk and art rock with a distinctive, often dissonant vocal style. Recorded during a period where she explored darker, more introspective themes, the track captures the emotional weight of her signature piano-driven arrangements. The song reflects her tendency to weave personal narrative with broader societal commentary, characteristic of her work in the late 1990s and early 2000s. With its brooding atmosphere and intricate musical texture, the recording exemplifies her ability to transform simple melodies into complex emotional landscapes, cementing her status as a unique voice in alternative music.
