Fiona Apple

Recommended Posts

I feel so tasteless saying this but as a whole, this album didn’t do it for me compared to The Idler Wheel :defeated:

i feel that too

idler wheel is more euphonic and has more gusto to me

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?

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

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  !   :teehee:  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.

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
