So be it, I'm your crowbar
If that's what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I don't know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll just consider this-even if it don't make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It's ok, don't need to say it.

This is wonderful!
So, how is Fiona doing these days?

I would definitely not call Fetch The Bolt Cutters an unlistenable mess. It just much more experimental, daring and definitely not mainstream. I can only speak for myself but I love that album. I had to take the time and listen to it a few times before it started growing on me.
Her first two albums (Tidal and When the Pawn ...) are simply stellar. However, she seems to have gone seriously off-piste since; to me Fetch The Bolt Cutters is an unlistenable mess. However, she's obviously an artist who is ploughing her own furrow, and while I don't want to listen, I do applaud her vision.

Here's a link to an article on her from nytimes.com about her emotional up's and down's, as well as her creative process toward her latest album, “The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do.”

Every time this comes on I have to stop and listen. Just an astounding song, more stark emotion than anything I can think of offhand.
What a stellar album. I didn't love it at first but wow it grew on me like fungus :)
For me, this song is one of the best last tracks ever.

Love the track, but am I the only one who hears Nick Cave in the chord progression?
she looks so happy on the album cover...
perhaps 'middle of the road'

There's a uniqueness and authenticity in her voice that's lacking in ... well, let's not name names.

Es una voz deliciosaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
I wish she could come out with another album! ::Sigh:: Fiona, where have you gone? Are you watching Columbo in your jammies all day at your mom's NYC apartment still?
The perfect ending, to a perfect album. 10.
Fantastic song.
pretty unexiciting, I think. ok though
I've known the name, "Fiona Apple", for what... 13 years now? Still, I never had friends who listened to her, didn't listen to the radio, never really knew who she was. Three years ago I started listening to RP and heard "Sailor". Hooks in my heart.
There's something about the way she puts a song together that really works for me. It's not just the way she uses her voice, the way she twists her words, or the way the other musicians work with her... lovely stuff.

If you like Fiona, check out "Never is a Promise" from her visit to KCRW. It never fails to give me chills. In a good way.

This came out only 9 years ago? It seems like a completely different era. I associate her with Sarah McLaughlin, Tori Amos, P. J. Harvey, Liz Phair and other female musicians that I saw at around the same time.

This song has always been one of my top 5 favs. I can't exactly say why but it just has this undeniable feeling of hope to it that always makes me smile.

Long wait ... but well worth it. True artist and consummate singer/songwriter/performer.
Mmmm, long time no hear.
Wonder if she will ever release another album?
Fiona is a true artist - writes her own music, awesome on the piano. I wouldn't say I absolutely love everything she has done but I have a respect for it.

Seemingly a lot of love and hate for this woman (or girl), her songs, and her dubious public speaking ability. But through all these comments, no one mentions the fact that she is a great pianist. I mean, really talented. I have to give her props for that.
I enjoy it. I thought it kind of sounded like Norah Jones.
I checked out her website. She is a hotty!
Super cool.
Sigh...I wish her last one was as good as this one.

Wanna read the index page of this website, think for a moment and reconsider your opinion?
This music and her statement are pretty much perfectly centered.
Why don't I have this CD?
I'm not a big fan of Fiona but the woman has a boatload of talent and artistic integrity. She's just not my cup of tea.
Guess I'm more of a Patty Griffin / Neko Case kinda of male listener. I am Horstman.

I never understood why everyone got all up on her case about that. Even reading it now, I don't see anything really all that bad in what she said.
I think people misunderstood her because of her use of the phrase "this world". I think she meant the music industry and if so her entire speech makes perfect sense and has a really valid point. BUT I think many people took it as "the world" in general and her point gets very confused and sounds whinny. I think people really over reacted. It seems the people who got all snooty about it aren't satisfied unless the awardee thanks JESUS...

Because she's biting the hand that feeds her. Anyone jealous of the fame and success she has is quite understandable in resenting her "whinyness".
But ya know, she was speaking off the cuff, and trying to tell kids not to buy into other people's bullshit definition of material success as the end-all be-all of life, and I commend her for it. Even if she came off as an awkward, whiny kid when she said it.

That was a new Fiona tune for me and I thought it was beautiful. (Goofy album cover though.)
what isn't goofy about Fiona? She's an awsome talent but quite excentric
I rerated this a 1. If this is what the playlist says, it is tuneless jazz. I will try to listen a third time and edit this comment.
Can't help myself, just keep swaying long to the left and long to the right, tick tock, tick tock, it's hypnotic. Good stuff RP
i NEVER tire of this album----it is brilliant!
This is cool, it reminds me of Holly Cole stuff

I love the implied "I know" at the very end of this song. Powerful words, without even saying them...
Strange, I was just talking about Fiona Apple with a buddy, and lo and behold, here she plays.
Love the music, love the lyrics, love the feel, love to sing it. Love.
Beautiful.
This world is bullshit!
Soulful. I'm liking this a lot.
This song is really sweet, but a little sad. I LOOOOOOVE Fiona. I can't wait for the new record!
Fiona Apple: Amazingly gifted, astoundingly weird.
Like most great musicians I guess.
