==Connection to NIN==
[[Trent Reznor]] and Amos originally met in mutual admiration for each other's respective debut albums, sometime in the early nineties. They recognized similar approaches in emotional expression, despite vastly different musical styles. Both artists influenced the other's work in some way; Reznor even admitted that he would listen to ''Little Earthquakes'' every day while recording ''[[The Downward Spiral (Halohalo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' [http://www.thanatopsic.org/music/trivial/tori-trent-rmta.html] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcMEKppnpV8] From there a collaboration formed: Reznor contributed vocals to Amos's single "Past The Mission" for her 1994 album ''Under The Pink.'' His vocals on the track were uncharacteristically, and somewhat unrecognizably, soft and pleasant, and sang of finding hope in a relationship after trauma.
Amos has also performed the first two lines of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" in concert—mainly between 1994 and 1999—and has made allusions to Nine Inch Nails in her solo work, most notably in "Precious Things" from ''Little Earthquakes'' and "Caught a Lite Sneeze" from ''Boys for Pele.''
