It\u2019s almost time for In Times of Dragons<\/em>. With her new album\u2019s May 1 release date just weeks away, Tori Amos<\/strong><\/a> has revealed its latest single, \u201cGasoline Girls.\u201d<\/p>\n The song offers a further glimpse into the narrative driving the album. As revealed with the release of prior singles \u201cStronger Together\u201d and \u201cShush,\u201d In Times of Dragons<\/em> tells, per Amos, \u201ca metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the \u2018Dictator believing Lizard Demons\u2019 in their usurpation of America.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGasoline Girls\u201d adds new dimensions to that story, depicting the fictionalized Amos character\u2019s encounter with a lesbian motorcycle gang known as the Gasoline Girls, whose path she crosses as she flees from her corrupt billionaire husband. The group represents solidarity, defiance, and collective strength, and their arrival in the story is billed as a turning point when resistance begins to form. Their refrain: \u201cWe will tend the fire.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a metaphor for many different transformations \u2013 from a teenage girl becoming a woman, to shifts in gender identity or fundamental belief systems, to the life changes that come with pregnancy, motherhood and eventually menopause,\u201d Amos says. \u201cThe song explores the emotions that come with leaving one version of yourself behind and stepping into another.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Amos\u2019 character makes her own transformation in the story, becoming a dragon in her effort to combat the dark forces pursuing her. \u201cGasoline Girls\u201d is an essential chapter in her journey.\n<\/p>\n To support In Times of Dragons<\/em>, Amos recently began her largest tour in a decade. The UK and European leg of the tour is ongoing through May, followed by a North American stretch of shows running from July 7 to Sept. 2. Tickets for the 66-date outing are on sale now.<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n
