Strange Little Girl:
Whenever it rains you think of her
The album's namesake song — and most upbeat, straightforward musical moment, as it features tumbleweed keyboards — is "Strange Little Girl."
The 1982 single by the Stranglers featuring a protagonist who's figuratively lost and trying to find her place in the world:
"Strange little girl /
Where are you going? /
Do you know where you could be going?"
The word "strange" is an interesting one to describe a person.
The term isn't always wielded as a compliment; in fact, it's a verbal side-eye to convention. "Strange" is a close relation to "peculiar," another vaguely antique-sounding words that connotes someone who's offbeat and different.
That Amos called the album "Strange Little Girls" — plural — is even more telling: These are a collection of offbeat people who don't fit into any sort of neat, tidy mold.
