    Things i love about mere’s videos:
    1- she puts the lyrics on the screen
    2- there aren’t a lot of cuts and i enjoy seeing a person react to the majority of the song
    3- her analysis is spot on
    4- they have educational value lol
    Thank you mere

    The fact that she was so young when writing these songs still blows my mind after all these years. She’s been my #1 for 21 years now and no one’s been able to take her place!

  • @3407

    MORE FIONA PLEASE.
    i literally started listening to Fiona after hearing you talk about her music and it was one of the best things i've done this year.

  • @sidhedanu

    I see "fold" in this song as like putting down a hand of cards and exiting a game.

    • @fredgrave2153
      @fredgrave2153 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I was going to say the same thing, wasn’t sure if she had gotten the reference to playing cards.

    • @lovelessmik5127
      @lovelessmik5127 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      right! and i think this is so clever because when you fold you're saying "well, this is what i've got, this is me, i'm out" and that ties directly onto how she should keep her distance from this idealized image of a boy that she keeps daydreaming about, and putting hope on

    Fiona has such a way with words
    They're so poetic and complex but still catchy and makes you want to sing-along

    I LOVE FIONA and she’s honestly soooooo underrated and not enough people know of her. She’s amazing 😭

  • @alexsimonsx
    @alexsimonsx ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Oh my goodness!!!!! thank you so much for this video.
    I love Fiona Apple, this was the first song I EVER heard of her.
    Sadly... I had an eating disorder for more than 14 years and used this to fuel it, as many people did back then in most "pro-ana" sites.
    "Hunger hurts but starving works" fueled it so much for me and led to misinterpretation of the whole meaning of this song.
    I'm so happy for this analysis.
    Thank you!

    I’ve been binging your Lana vids and honestly I love your insights and how honest you are with your own experiences, especially when you draw on what you know as a therapist, you really put into words everything I think but can’t express in relation to these songs ! ❤

  • @creepypapermultipack
    @creepypapermultipack 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Love love love this song. Your interpretation aligns with my own. As someone who has also struggled with disordered eating (I was an overweight young pre-teen-teenager in the 90’s during the Kate Moss/heroin chic craze) this one really hits home with another layer of starving myself to be loved. Thankfully I’ve healed A LOT since then and even though I still sometimes struggle with disordered eating I have a much healthier relationship with food now than I did then.

  • @brooklynbaby05
    @brooklynbaby05 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    also with the folding of hands i believe she’s also referring to a hand of cards in a poker game, like folding them because the odds are too shaky, at least that’s always been my personal interpretation🙏

    • @aseriesofsneaks
      @aseriesofsneaks ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've always looked at that line the same way, like she knows she's been dealt a bad hand and can't win, so rather than bet on this person and lose, it's best for her to fold instead and walk away. Total self-preservation.

    Oh, I love this song so much ❤ one of the best well-written lyrics I've ever heard, Fiona is a genius.
    Please continue, I'd love if you reacted to the songs from fetch the bolt cutters, the title tracks, Ladies, For Her... These are all interesting songs to analyse. Love your channel ❤

    Have you ever seen the music video for this?
    Always thought it was pretty clever.
    Thank you for reacting to Fiona!

  • @paulalvord5937
    @paulalvord5937 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I interpret “folding hands” as a card game reference. Folding, as in giving up, because these hands are too shaky/risky to continue playing.

    • @alisky8551
      @alisky8551 ปีที่แล้ว

      I also think that as well. I actually think it works as a metaphor (card game reference) and also the literal meaning of holding and folding one's own hands. It's genius.

  • @momoko4892
    @momoko4892 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fiona wrote this song without knowing she was creating the most powerful and meaningful song for a girl with BPD, that's how we feel with every relationship: you daydream, want to be loved, but deeply inside you know that this boy is not trying to understand your problems and your emotions, so you decide stop loving, because when you're in love and ypu have BPD is painful af.

  • @nickwalker2438
    @nickwalker2438 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always assumed the line about hands to shaky to hold was a poker reference about folding a hand u know can’t win

  • @htxomoggle454
    @htxomoggle454 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For me, this is a song about a passionless/sexless marriage. Loving someone, holding out hope, but nothing changes.
    Folding is acceptance. Hunger for that type of affection. Starving works to keep the peace.

    I want to second the request for Tori Amos. Please don't do Winter, though - it's saccharine & obvious, even if it's a beautiful song. Songs from Boys for Pele like Doughnut Song & Hey Jupiter are both beautiful & full of interesting poetry & metaphors.
