"Concertina" is a song written and performed by American singer/songwriter Tori Amos, released as the fourth and last single from her 1999 album ''To Venus and Back''. The commercial CD single was released in February 2000. ==Background and release== The title of the song refers to the musical instrument Concertina. The lyrics use it as a metaphor to describe the experience of discomfort and unease in a social setting, likening it to being a squeezebox.〔http://www.yessaid.com/toriamos.html〕 When recording the song, Amos wanted to combine the acoustic piano with electronic drums, as she felt the dichotomy complimented the themes of the lyrics, which describe sensory discomfort in a "fierce calm" and being changed "particle by particle".〔http://toriamos.com/go/galleries/view/255/1/28/albums/index.html〕 In the interview for her cover story in Alternative Press in October 1999,〔http://www.yessaid.com/interviews/99-10AP.html〕 Amos commented on the content of the song: Since 1999, the song has been featured in all of Amos' world tours,〔http://www.toriset.org/s.php?c=503&t=0〕 except the 2005 Original Sinsuality Tour in support of The Beekeeper. ''Concertina'' was included on the setlist for the DVD release of Amos' concert for Live from the Artists Den in 2010.〔http://theartistsden.com/toriamos〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concertina (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
