"Marianne" is the title of the sixth track on singer/songwriter Tori Amos's record Boys For Pele. Released in 1996, the song details Amos' relationship with Marianne Curtis , a high school student from Montgomery County, Maryland, (a suburb of Washington, D.C.) who died under questionable circumstances in the late 1970s. The death, which was actually due to an accidental drug overdose, was first suspected to be murder, and then later called a suicide (in part as a cover-up of the truth by extremely religious relatives).
