ME AND A GUN
“Me and a Gun” is a song by American singer-songwriter and musician Tori Amos. It was released as the first single from her debut studio album Little Earthquakes. It was released on October 21, 1991 by Atlantic Records in North America and EastWest Records in the UK. (More from Wikipedia)
What brought Tori Amos early attention was an even sparer performance of a true story: an a capella rendition of her being raped by an acquaintance, and what was going through her head during the ordeal. The song, “Me and a Gun” was the title song on an EP called Me and a Gun; it is also included on her first solo album, Little Earthquakes (1992). Her slow-tempoed cover of the Nirvana hit song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” later became a tribute to Kurt Cobain following his death.
