Originally written in the To Venus And Back era, it has finally obtained official release in A Piano: The Collection.
"Zero Point - your time is coming"
-- from the To Venus And Back liner notes
"The feminine, the female, the essence of woman, the sensuality of it, is sacred. Those in the patriarchy making these decisions have been really terrified of holding the spiritual side and the physical side of themselves. There is a line in Zero Point, where I sing, Take off, lift off, creaming Jesus still. To me, if you are really in the balanced state, you are creaming the divine."
-- Tori; Tower Records' Pulse Magazine, Nov 99
That track Amos says was inspired by Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series, which concerns the writings of the ancient Sumerians and their ideas regarding time. "It talks about Rome ending -- B.C. and then A.D. -- and the idea of what was supposed to happen at zero point," she explains. "I found there to be a strange correlation between America being the super power that it is and Rome being the super power that it was, and what comes along with that kind of power... how you can really forget the responsibility that you have to humanity. The ego becomes bigger than spirituality."
