If 6 Was 9

Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos

If the sun refused to shine

I don't mind

I don't mind

If the mountains fell in the sea

Let it be

It ain't me



I got my own world to live through

I ain't gonna come near you



If a 6 turned out to be 9

I don't mind

I don't mind

If the hippies cut off their hair

I don't care

Hey I don't care



I got my own to live through

I ain't gonna come near you



If the sun refused to shine



What child is this

If 6 Was 9

The song serves as a poignant reflection on personal turmoil, utilizing sparse instrumentation to amplify the raw vulnerability of the performance. As part of her extensive discography, this recording stands as a testament to her ability to transform simple melodies into complex narratives of heartbreak and introspection, cementing her status as a pivotal figure in alternative music.
