I cant believe the videographers didnt give the drummer(s) any love in this video. So far half way thru I barely saw them. I always love this song not just for Fiona, but for the drummer
this song's aged well, like a fine wine and fiona herself. way to go fifi. having matt on the drums is a huge plus, you'd be hard-pressed to find a groovier drummer with his precision.
This song went right over my head when it first came out and I bought her album on the day it was released. (I've got the album version where the red layer on the cover is detachable.) I was mature enough for "Tidal", but "When the Pawn" required me to grow up first. This song is awesome!
Lyrics I let beast in too soon, I don't know how to live Without my hands on his throat; I fight him always and still O darling, it's so sweet, You think you know how crazy How crazy I am You say you don't spook easy, You won't go But I know And I pray that you will Fast as you can Baby run free yourself of me Fast as you can I may be soft in your palm But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight And I will not let you win My pretty mouth Will frame the phrases that Will disprove your faith in man So if you catch me trying To find my way into your Heart from under your skin Fast as you can Baby scratch me out Free yourself Fast as you can Fast as you can Baby scratch me out Free yourself Fast as you can Sometimes my don't shake and shift But most of the time, it does And I get to the place Where I'm begging for a lift Or I'll drown in the wonders And the was And I'll be our girl, If you say it's a gift And you give me some more or your drugs Yeah, I'll be your pet, If you just tell me it's a gift 'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys, Just need a little because, because, I let the beast in and then; I even tried forgiving him, But it's too soon So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again And for a little while more I'll soar the uneven wind Complain and blame The sterile land But if you're getting any bright ideas Quiet dear I'm blooming within Fast as you can, Baby wait watch me, I'll be out Fast as I can Maybe late but at least about Fast as you can Leave me Let this thing run its route Fast as you can Fast as you can Fast as you can Fast as you can
You people behave yourselves. If your here to enjoy Fiona then do it. I take pride in that there isn't a lot of the stupid internet back and forth on the Fiona videos. We are a family that sticks up for each other.
This song should have been used in the Tv series Orphan Black. Totally fits the vibe of that storyline. FIONA, YOU ARE AN AMAZING SONG WEAVER AND SINGER!
Great, 'cause that's the sole basis in the judgement and analysis of a song or an artists works in general. She's an incredibly talented singer/songwriter too! (As long as we are sharing xP)
What place take in this Lady Gaga? this singer is amazing and not copy of Madona as Gaga. Just apreciate the talent and art of Fiona, does not compares, she does not to need to wear extravagant dresses and make ups like a clown or sell sex. This is real art and talent. FIONA IS GREAT NOT COMERCIAL PRODUCT.
I don't know LG's music yet, but who can blame her for good showmanship and a sharp business sense? Anyway here's an excerpt from an interview LG did with Billboard: “If you’re an artist,” she says, “and there is something you got to give, and you don’t even know why, but you were born that way, focus on that. Because that thing can’t be wrong." She puts her hands on her head, fingers intertwined, and goes quiet for a moment. “I can’t tell you what a comfort Fiona Apple has been during this time,” she continues. Apple’s latest, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, has been Gaga’s constant soundtrack - when she’s cooking, when she’s alone - and it has provided her with another kind of artistic compass. She’s been moved by the way it feels like there’s no distance between Apple’s music and her life. “I just reveled in the way that girl is so herself,” she says. “Anybody that’s going to tell me somebody is more relevant than Fiona Apple right now because they’ve got more followers on Instagram - I don’t have their number.”
Why do you need to put down another artist like Gaga? (who by the way, it's AN AMAZING and succesful artist) Both her and Fiona are special and cool in their own way
There is some drum programing I think with the tom toms. You can see it best at 2:38. I don't know how a person can tell about that part of her singing. Don't know. Ya know, people say she lip sinks all the time. :)
The music women of the immaculate 90's will unforturnatly never come again. Then we had Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Alanis, PJ, Ani D, Jewel. Now we have Taylor Swift and Lady fucking GaGa.... WTF?!
I actually think that her beauty to begin with matches her beauty now, only in a different way (as one might expect). She's looking incredible more and more. There was a metamorphosis somewhere along the way, she's always been pretty but she had a true beauty when she appeared and, now, as she approaches what society defines as middle age, she's looking truly beautiful again. It's still her but... ugh, I'm rambling, I'm having trouble expressing what I mean. What's the need? She's gorgeous is all, radiant.

dont know how to not be in love with her
I cant believe the videographers didnt give the drummer(s) any love in this video. So far half way thru I barely saw them. I always love this song not just for Fiona, but for the drummer
I ordered a big Mac with a side of bullshit
@@adriatic_sea And I know with confidence that you have not once touched a drum kit in you life.
Agreed
@adriatic_sea 🤣🤣you have issues
this song's aged well, like a fine wine and fiona herself. way to go fifi. having matt on the drums is a huge plus, you'd be hard-pressed to find a groovier drummer with his precision.
Matt does know how to roll call
Can people stop judging how things have aged and commenting on it? Surely not, but maybe a few reading this can.
The drumming makes this song, such great drive probably more in the studio recordings but such amazing drumming.
Beautiful and she dances like a modern hippie that I just wanna give her a hug.
real talent she puts all her emotion into her performance
I love tori amos and fiona apple. I also like some of taylor swift & lady gaga's stuff. Open your mind a little.
you have an amazing music taste I must say
I love this lady!!! Pure jazz genius
This song went right over my head when it first came out and I bought her album on the day it was released. (I've got the album version where the red layer on the cover is detachable.) I was mature enough for "Tidal", but "When the Pawn" required me to grow up first. This song is awesome!
her dancing is so cool!!!
I love her little gesture when she says "quiet, dear!". :)
the drums is awesome!!
Her dance moves are fucking sick! I love you Fiona!
very tight band - whooosh, drummer pushes this forward. I would love to play with that cat
Lyrics
I let beast in too soon,
I don't know how to live
Without my hands on his throat;
I fight him always and still
O darling, it's so sweet,
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy,
You won't go
But I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can
Baby run free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight
And I will not let you win
My pretty mouth
Will frame the phrases that
Will disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying
To find my way into your
Heart from under your skin
Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out
Free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out
Free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes my don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place
Where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders
And the was
And I'll be our girl,
If you say it's a gift
And you give me some more or your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet,
If you just tell me it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because,
I let the beast in and then;
I even tried forgiving him,
But it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I'll soar the uneven wind
Complain and blame
The sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas
Quiet dear I'm blooming within
Fast as you can,
Baby wait watch me,
I'll be out
Fast as I can
Maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can
Leave me
Let this thing run its route
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
I love her voice.
you're the best Fiona. love you girl
She is one of my heroes
She is beautiful :)
so talented,so beautiful,so down to earth.how can you not love Fiona!
this is timeless
i love Ms. Apple...this live performance of this excellent song is OUTSTANDING...
I knew she was amazing. I didn't know damn good her band was!
You people behave yourselves. If your here to enjoy Fiona then do it. I take pride in that there isn't a lot of the stupid internet back and forth on the Fiona videos. We are a family that sticks up for each other.
fiona, youre beautiful and your voice is beyond amazing. come back to the largo
I FUCKING LOVE HER. Such an inspiration.
How the hell doe she do what she does with her voice and 2:56 ?
Great song 🎵!!! Lots of 💘!!! LUV mm
This song should have been used in the Tv series Orphan Black. Totally fits the vibe of that storyline. FIONA, YOU ARE AN AMAZING SONG WEAVER AND SINGER!
Makes the Adeles and Rhianas of the world really that much harder to appreciate.
great vid, thanks for uploading
Ah Fiona, my hero.
Amazing peformance
amazing !
Amazinggggggg
Fiona Apple is one of my favorite artists.
great vid, thatks for uploading
The slow part could have been a great song all on its own.... The song is killer!
LUVVITTTTTTTT
GODDESS!!!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Definitely genius
@backauf Ya, Fiona knows what she's doing. I have read comments that she is real fussy about who she plays with.
Too true!
Still know all the glorious lyrics
Wow! Very funny!
Beautiful 😍 I Love you 😘😘
i miss her and tori amos and mazzy star
judy garland they are still perform. Why you miss em?
Mazzy Star would be nothing if not for Hope Sandoval any way.
hey kids, it's Matt Chamberlain on the drums! amazing performance!
She's incredibly attractive.
Great, 'cause that's the sole basis in the judgement and analysis of a song or an artists works in general. She's an incredibly talented singer/songwriter too! (As long as we are sharing xP)
Amazing how people compare artists from different genres....there is no logic comparing Apples to Gagas....
i wanna see her live :(
Is that Matt chamberlain drumming?! I didn’t know he did. He was Tori Amos’ drummer for years
Kudos to that drummer
Matt Chamberlain!
RobS chamberlain is a groove monster.
The fabulous matty the drummer.
Matty the drummer! 😊😊
@MegaWhiner you're right about drum
so fucking beautiful
Agreed.
haha, i was watching him and thinking "Wait... that looks like Matt!"
So fucken bad arse 😍😍😍
❤️
@PreciousEarthquakes2 I like all those artists you mentioned as well as Lady Gaga. Problem?
@mdo0bm
ahaha I think even straight women can pine for her !!
@whathoney73
and Kool Keith
What place take in this Lady Gaga? this singer is amazing and not copy of Madona as Gaga. Just apreciate the talent and art of Fiona, does not compares, she does not to need to wear extravagant dresses and make ups like a clown or sell sex. This is real art and talent. FIONA IS GREAT NOT COMERCIAL PRODUCT.
Gaga is a good live performer, better than most (waaaay better than Madonna). You gotta give that to her.
tina modoti lady gaga is actually a very talented vocalist...
I really like both of them. They're both fantastic singers, songwriters, and pianists. Way different styles. Almost too different to really compare.
I don't know LG's music yet, but who can blame her for good showmanship and a sharp business sense? Anyway here's an excerpt from an interview LG did with Billboard:
“If you’re an artist,” she says, “and there is something you got to give, and you don’t even know why, but you were born that way, focus on that. Because that thing can’t be wrong."

👾💃👾🕺
😆😆
Unfortunately the others you mentioned are not in the same league as Ms. Apple and PJ. Time has shown that to be true.
The drums are mostly loops I believe
So me. 😶
Lady Gag-me!
Dancing with heroin eyes, HOW I MISS YOU
@Spillage66 i really don't think they did anything to her voice.
jamiroquai IMHO
Ignore eqtworld he's trying to have "fun."
There is some drum programing I think with the tom toms. You can see it best at 2:38. I don't know how a person can tell about that part of her singing. Don't know.
Ya know, people say she lip sinks all the time. :)
She certainly does, and here's the proof: th-cam.com/video/3JRI59LveWc/w-d-xo.html

Now we have Taylor Swift and Lady fucking GaGa.... WTF?!
@5Oftwoman Not at all. To each their own.
Gollum sings!
heidi
like i said, we all can see what your standards are.
how can people just make up the shit for no good fucking reason. does it get you off or something? it's unkind and unfair.
fack
poor girl to much to much i feel bad for her!!
she should smile more,its amazing. she even said herself that she has a pretty mouth,and all these beautiful things come out of it
Women don't exist to show off our pretty mouths
Shut the fuck uppppppp !
ew
She use to be so pretty!
for one the proper word is "used" and two youre a fucking idiot, shes as beautiful as ever. go troll elsewhere
I actually think that her beauty to begin with matches her beauty now, only in a different way (as one might expect). She's looking incredible more and more. There was a metamorphosis somewhere along the way, she's always been pretty but she had a true beauty when she appeared and, now, as she approaches what society defines as middle age, she's looking truly beautiful again.
