About the Song
   Other avaliable versions of this music sheet: Version 1  Version 3  
"China" was the third single released from the Tori Amos LP, Little Earthquakes, in January 1992 in the United Kingdom, as a CD single, cassette single, and 7" and 12" vinyl single. It was also released in smaller quantities in other countries, with varying track listings and artwork. The original title of the song was "Distance" (a recurring lyric and theme), and it was originally submitted to the Library of Congress in 1987. 1 The song is often cited as one of Amos' least obtuse and most traditional ballads. It is a lament about lost love with lyrics like "Sometimes I think you want me to touch you/How can I when you build the great wall around you?" This particular lyric likely inspired the cover art of Amos standing at an upside-down teacup shaped wall. This visual theme also occurred in the music video, which showed Amos lamenting on a rocky beach in England. This song did not take off.    Download this sheet!

Piano notes and music reading No language is easy to learn except for our mother tongue. Mother tongue is a language which we start learning as soon as we are conceived. But learning some other language can be difficult if you are really not into it. Piano Notes are written in a completely different language. Agreed that the characters in the piano notes are very artistic and beautiful but they are equally strange to beginners and newcomers. But here is one interesting fact. Learning music reading from a piano notes music sheet is not a very difficult task. Actually it is much easier than learning a foreign Asian language like Chinese. Memorization and repetition are the two main ingredients for success in mastering the language of piano notes.
