Mafiosa 1,089 Posted April 25, 2020 I feel so tasteless saying this but as a whole, this album didn’t do it for me compared to The Idler Wheel i feel that too idler wheel is more euphonic and has more gusto to me 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Angel 201,670 Posted April 25, 2020 i've been hearing about her latest album all over and it seems like it's really, really great. i am interested and i wanna check it out, i've also heard that it's better and more easy to understand if you've listened to her previous records, do you guys reccomend i listen through her previous albums before fetch the bolt catchers? also, what songs do you guys like best from her catalog, and how would you describe her sound? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would listen to her discography if you can, but definitely at least check out The Idler Wheel... before FTBC! Some of my favorite songs of hers are Never Is a Promise, Pale September, Shadowboxer, Sullen Girl, pretty much the whole When The Pawn... album, Get Him Back, Oh Well, Parting Gift, Window, Valentine, Johnathan, Regret, and Anything We Want! I would say her style is piano based and jazz influenced alternative pop/rock 2 Quote Hell, I Suppose if You Stick Around Long Enough, They Have to Say Something Nice About You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest to go to Youtube and listen to all her albums (before you buy them). Write something like this " Fiona Apple __name of album___ full album " Tidal (1996) When the Pawn... (1999) Extraordinary Machine (2005) The Idler Wheel... (2012) Fetch the Bolt Cutters (2020) All musicians have a unique sound and they evolve their musical styles over the years. So I reccomend for you to start with her first record and then go down the list. It is the only way to get into their music. There are only 5 albums, so one of them might be your favorite. You have all weekend to listen to Fiona Apple, come back on monday for a written exam ! lol 3 Quote - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Angel 201,670 Posted April 25, 2020 You have all weekend to listen to Fiona Apple, come back on monday for a written exam ! lol ooh, you set me up for a challenge here, maybe i'll have to do this. come back on monday and write a little review and talk about the experience. being in quarantine is giving me this great opportunity to discover new music and get myself more involved in it and i feel like i've been wasting the opportunity. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mkultraviolence 5,832 Posted December 3, 2020 My favorite lyrics from each Fetch the Bolt Cutters song: I Want You To Love Me: And I know none of this, will matter in the long run But I know a sound, is still a sound around no one I want you to use it Blast the music Bang it, bite it, bruise it Whenever you want to begin, begin We don't have to go back to where we've been I am the woman who wants you to win, and I've been Waiting, waiting for You to love me Shameika: I used my feet to crush dead leaves like they had fallen from trees Just for me Just to be crash cymbals Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo, that's my bird in my tree My dog and my man and my music is my holy trinity Fetch The Bolt Cutters: Afraid of not being your friend And I've always been too smart for that, but you know what? My heart was not, I took it like a kid, you see The cool kids voted to get rid of me I thought being blacklisted would be grist for the mill Until I realized I'm still here I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill Shoes that were not made for running up that hill And I need to run up that hill I need to run up that hill, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will Under The Table: I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me Relay: Evil is a relay sport when the one who's burned turns to pass the torch I resent you for being so sure I resent you for presenting your life, like a fucking propaganda brochure And I see that you keep trying to bait me And I'd love to get up in your face But I know if I hate you, for hating me I will have entered the endless race Rack Of His: I gave you pictures and cards on non-holidays And it wasn't because I was bored I followed you from room to room, with no attention And it wasn't because I was bored I thought you would wail on me, like you wail on them But it was just a coochie-coo-coups And I've been used so many times I've learned to use myself in kind I try to drum, I try to write I can't do either well, but alright, it's fine, I guess 'Cause I know how to spend my time Meanwhile, I'm loving you so much Newspaper: In my own way, I fell in love with you I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you And it makes me feel close to you Ladies: Yet another woman, to whom I won't get through No love is like any other love So, it would be insane to make a comparison with you Heavy Balloon: I spread like strawberries! I climb like peas and beans! We get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know Cosmonauts: When I met you I was fine with my nothing For Her: Sniff white off a starlet's breast Treating his wife like less than a guest She's tired of planting her knees on the cold, hard floor of facts Trying to act like the other girl acts Well, good morning! Good morning! You raped me in the same bed your daughter was born in Drumset: I have none for this song On I Go: On I go, not toward or away But now I only move to move 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
