she's being tortured. We all have implants. They can control the bloodflow to the brain through controlling the muscles in the spine, mouth and throat, and face and eyes. Just like when you focus , you change the bloodflow to your forehead for example. Try focusing without using your eyes, and then try focusing without controlling your breath. She knows this, but is too smart to say it out loud, but she wanted "the wizarding world" to know, and not think she's ok. She was forced to say she was alright, Forced to laugh , forced to smile. th-cam.com/video/M2VBmHOYpV8/w-d-xo.html
The main reason why I listen to her is because her music is her. She doesn't try to please anyone. She writes what her mind tells her to and puts it to notes beautifully. She has a slightly different voice and a different approach in each of her songs. If you pay attention to detail, her songs are hard to compare to anyone else's. It's easy to say it's not your "type of music"... but you can't deny the fact that she's a genius with lyrics.
101soccersyd so true, I feel like the metaphors from The Idler Wheel have changed how I think about relationships in general because they're so personal to her, and she is wise. Check out Sun Kil Moon, and stay classy!
I feel like the only semi-similar artist I can think of would be Florence and the machine who also has very unique, beautiful music. Don’t get me wrong they’re two very different artists but there are definitely some similarities.
Syd ,I completely agree with you ! I love to sing,and I sing many different artists,but fiona's lyrics and songs are impossible for me to sound like her,or even captures the emotional and intense of her emotions,She is an incredible artist!!!
Dude, everyone in the 90's indie music scene are always ahead of their time. Beck, Portishead, Bjork, Tori Amos, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, Lisa Loeb, Slowdive, Fiona Apple etc. They always make songs that sounds like they've released it just yesterday.
Can you beleive the idle wheel is from 2012 ? You may listen to "Valentine", "Werewolf" and "Anything we want" twice an hour everyday, seems like time has no influence on the songs. I don't know how she does. that's why I call her a Magician :p
When you deeply hurt a brilliant child, a deeply beautiful soul, a complex being, this is what you get. She is beautiful beyond any time, and her pain is our substance, but she didn't deserve it, and I have loved her since I was 11 years old, when I first heard her voice, when she told me the world is bullshit. She is the only one of her kind.
@@aarondavid5866 Respectfully, you're wrong. Some may not be able to get it out but for the ones that find a way, their work just tends to be pretty dark. I've personally known people who had been abused as children and read their poetry or other types of writings and it was bleak but still very creative.
I hated her when she 1st came out and that Criminal song and video just irked that shit outta me!!! And I can't remember why, but I wound up listening to Tidal from beginning to end... and then on loop for a month. No lie. I was 19. But the problem now is t 45 I waited too long to listen to her new music over the years. So i try to now and just can't get into it cuz I'm so used to Tidal. Im pigeon holing her in that specific time
I don't think I will ever meet someone who likes Fiona Apple. I've introduced her to literally everyone I know, but nobody seems to be interested. It bothers me for some reason because she is such an amazing artist with such little appreciation and recognition. I have noticed that nobody actually likes the music I listen to. Oh well.
Fidessa Isiko I've met a few, we're usually just not terribly outspoken about it. There are some of us who love music so much that we consider it "special" and tend to protect it from other's judgement...
demoncleaner80 That's what I am beginning to be like. I usually love to share the music I listen to but it seems that people never like it, and that really affects me for some reason. It would be great to encounter someone who appreciates all kinds of music, as I love music a lot.
Fidessa Isiko I can relate to how you feel. Music is more to me than just what others think it is, to me it is a special way of expression. When there is something you just cant seem to tell someone yet a song tells your story, you start to hold onto it more emotionally. I think that's why I feel the same way, because judging the artist or song is like judging yourself, but that's me.
Juan C. That is exactly it! I thought I was alone on this and just being ridiculous, but it is somewhat comforting knowing that I'm not the only one. You have just explained exactly how I feel.
Fidessa Isiko I'm glad, it is nice to know that another person feels the same way too! Music means a lot to me and is like an out let that explains who I am as a person. Fiona is just another one of those amazing artists that sings and speaks for me.
One of my biggest problems is my tendency to repress my emotions. "I just want to feel everything" is such a radical mantra to me. This song never ceases to amaze me.
+cometome255 It's been two years I'm listening to this, valentine, werewolf and anything we want everyday. I went back to her previous work, and felt in love with extraordinary machine, O sailer (you need to listen at least 10 times) , partying gift, red red red, not about love and oh well. and my favorite song is also by her : LOVE RIDDEN (from When the Pawn, another GREAT ALBUM).
The most powerful line from any song I’ve ever heard is in this song “my hearts made of parts from all that’s around me and that’s why the devil just can’t get around me”. That line is so powerful it’s spiritual, it’s talking divinity and unity and how those things overpower the darkest aspects of ourselves. It’s love transmuting darkness into light and letting that be your guide so that you can keep going the journey. Don’t give up, people love you.
I find it incredible that people listen to this gut-wrenching song about your own mind betraying you, feelings of inadequacy, alienation, self-doubt, desperation, regret and anxiety and sudden nihilistic euphoria... and their first reaction is "wow, she looks sick!" ... really. You want a golden star or something.
I was recently introduced to her and I immediately fell in love. She is some of the only music I feel comfortable signing and I sing in the same pitch as her. I love her music and she has a wonderful voice and such a way with words. Thank you Fiona.
I feel like this song speaks for those who overfeel things and can't express with the right words all what its going through their minds, I didn't watch the video until now and it all makes sense, sometimes we just want to shut our feelings and thoughts but out brain is going at the lightning speed and we can't focus on just one thing, I love this song, somehow I relate to it.
I am stunned by this woman and her mind. I don't think there is any artist as brilliant and well rounded like her, her vocals are so powerful, her music is gut wrenchingly honest, raw and deeply personal. She is a force to be reckoned with. I'm amazed by her talent.
Not a lot if music can bring me to tears but this song encapsulates so much pain, fear, cognitive dissonance. When I listen to it, I FEEL it...just as Fiona does when she performs it; music that can truly capture the feelings of its audience. I dont feel alone when I hear this.
One of the things I love most about this song is how propulsive the vocal is. This song ROCKS, and it does so without a rock backbeat or really a consistent drum/bass backing at all.
5. Hello! I’m Angie and I know is a lot to ask but could please check out my cover on my channel? My dream is to become a singer please help me to come true my dream, I’ll be Grateful
***** I went and listened, you are terrible and have zero chance of a successful singing career beyond cruise ships and cabaret, I think its cruel people are telling you that you have talent as they are giving you a false sense of reality. Find a more realistic goal
***** Discrepo totalmente con +hammy606 si bien aun no tiene un nivel bueno, creo que tienes que educar tu talento, y tendrás la base para poder luchar por tu sueño, solo sigue, ese tipo de comentarios los encontrarás siempre a lo largo de tu vida.
as someone who grew up on hip hop and electronic music, i'd never heard the term "singer songwriter" until someone introduced me to fiona apple. the idler wheel changed my life.
I love Fiona Apple. She never compromised her artistic integrity. She is a great lyricist. I feel her emotion in the way she expresses herself in all ways
4 ปีที่แล้ว +40
Just people who truly suffered and really understand what is like to feel pain consuming your soul are going to feel every single word of this song...and maybe even cry along...thank you, Fiona. It really helped me to survive my darkest days.
people in comment sections for artists like her always ask why no one they know has even heard of their favorite artist. relax. millions of people listen to them, they just all have no friends.
Wow almost ten years old! I remember my mom buying the album and us listening to it together for the very first time, really brings me back :) forever a masterpiece of an album!
An artist of the highest order. This video is an example of someone who must exhibit every facet of their vision, as they see it. If you are so fortunate to appreciate all the detail, then consider yourself fortunate indeed. I love you Fiona.
Dear Fiona, your music is like a mother to me. Thank you for sharing your miraculous talent that helps so many pained, lonely, anxious, depressed souls like myself carry on 🖤
Incredibly out of the blue, she once again astounds all of us! She has re-invented herself again! Few artists have such loyal fans as her and she will go down in history!
"Gonna renounce the mill a little while" I love how much imagery she uses in her lyrics. The metaphors, similes, analogies. Simply brilliant. I find myself remembering lyrics such as this one all the time.
I'm on a Fiona apple song marathon. She's an amazing musician and so ahead of her time. She knows how to choose the right words to really make you understand and feel the song.
I really can't get enough of this song, and the utter strangeness of the music video just takes it to a whole different level of enamourment. Bravo Fiona!
I have never commented on a youtube video. Yet. It's 3 am and all I want is to drive a stake through my skull. A thin skewer that would slide through me like a shish-kabob. Listening to Fiona doesn't take away this urge, but it provides me some tiny feeling of solace. I am not alone on this rock. It's true, I'll never sing like FIona. My roommates are probably perturbed by my tinny warbling, alone and drunk and full of feeling. Mental health is different for everyone. Yet Fiona has so succinctly described my colliding and opposing feelings of anxiety and depression in one beautiful desolate song. Goddamn I'm drunk and there is no way this is coherent, but I love you Fiona, and at least for tonight, your words and voice have made existence worth it.
For someone who has never left a comment you are strikingly adept at it. You formulate your words into description that conveys your point and your plight in a manner that is complimentary to your imagination and ability to paint ideas and shadow thoughts in a way few are able to with words they are given. I guess I am sayin I think ya write words real real nice and stuff.
I can't stop pressing repeat. This is so good. I loved Tidal in my angsty teenage years, but didn't really dive too much further into her catalog. I have SUCH a deeper appreciation for her lyrical abilities now... she is so beautiful
Outstanding!! I absolutely love this song. I can't and don't understand all of the negativity some of you have for her whatever the reason. She's extremely musically talented, very intelligent, passionate, sensitive, poetic, physically gorgeous, and simply makes music that touches her soul. She doesn't make music to suit trends or others agendas. She does what she wants and it comes from the heart. Isn't that what a true and wonderful musician really is? I think that all combines to make her one of the most beautiful musicians of our time. There's no reason to promote your negative energies upon anyone. Negativity never creates positivity, it will only multiply the negativity. Thank you Fiona for staying real and true to yourself.
✨No One Escapes Their Sacred Duty✨ Fiona has ALWAYS been perfection for the story of my young adult life...nice to see she continues to touch the corners of my soul & my own version of a Handmaid's Tale playing all around so I thank her as well as everything
I remember listening to this song as a 12 year old just beginning to get generalized anxiety disorder and relating to the painful blossoming determination she speaks of here…the nightly panic attacks, and this video was so soothing to me as a young tween who loved animals and zoos and aquariums and used their beauty to cope with the pain I was experiencing from both anxiety and PMDD. Fiona, thank you for your beautiful artistry and for making me feel less alone. Your music not only made me feel seen, but cherished and tenderly held. ❤❤❤❤
Not that anyone asked, but here's my interpretation of the video (not just the song but the visuals of the music video itself): The first thing i notice is that there are golden threads every where. At one point they are connected to her limbs like a marionette, controlling her. But I think the meaning has to do with the motif of the bull and the ancient Greek myth about Ariadne's thread. In the story, the thread helps Theseus to escape from the labyrinth (maze) and the Minotaur within (creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man). In the video she is seen in bed with a man who has the head of a bull. The threads through out the video allude to her thoughts and emotions being a maze from which she can't escape. By the end of the video, she has excepted this as she warms up to the Minotaur in bed. The Snails and turtles obviously correlate directly to the lyrics of the song in which she talks about the shell and her fragility. ("My breast's gonna bust open, The rib is the shell, And a heart is the yolk, And I just made a meal for us both to choke on") The Giant Octopus terrorizing the beautiful city of Paris at night, is her uncontrollable thoughts terrorizing her brain at night. At one point she is playing with a hula dancing doll, and the video cuts to her dressed as the hula dancer which again represents being handled or controlled by her thoughts like a puppet, instead of visa versa. Her thoughts are continually portrayed by water, often showing her swimming through them (upside down to add to the alienation). At 2:30 she is wearing perfect, white gloves and looking into the aquarium as the golden thread taunts her with the idea of escape.
I also feel the theme of trauma is transformed in the Minotaur motif. The skeleton on the floor she struggles against is a literal hint to her trauma as well as the lyrics, and she accepts monstrous or strange things in her life because she has seen all the range of living creatures and accepts the ones she can relate to
one of the most underrated performers of the last 30 years, i keep going back to his song in awe of just how wonderful it is. If music was based on capturing the essence of an emotion, it is a wonderfully melodic and vocally raw interpretation of ones internal struggle with depression, melancholy, insomnia. Her music helps so many people.
Wonderful song. Love the lyrics. "....I'm not what I ought to be? And what I try not to be has got to be somebody else's fault. I can't get caught." are the best lines this morning but it's all brilliant.
thank you ... so much ... this is just so pure emotional expression and it helped me understand so much and cope with all the things that happened and still do ... so thank you fiona ... really
I never indulge in hallucinogens but this video makes me feel that I just have. Fiona knows how to do this at the same time as making brilliant music. What a talent she has!!
It is so unique and magical. I love the contrasts in her voice when she sings 'I just wanna ...' following each other first strongly and then with a palpable fragility in her voice.
when i was 7 this came out, and i remember my parents watching it for the first time with me in the room. i was so confused from all of the flashing lights and all of the darkness, the weird music was one i'd never heard before. but now, i can truly appreciate the beauty of this song.
thank you fiona, for not selling out, and staying true to your music, alot of men from our generation, would say they fell for you with criminal, for me though, was your speech about being yourself and not idolizing stars on mtv so many years ago, it was like you were talking directly to my soul, i have carried that sound of you sticking it to the industry since, so again thank you for being a real woman, and not an ass shaking industry puppet, sincerely a man, nothing more, nothing less.
I was trying my best catching a glimpse of each and every single detail, though each frame came and went away so fast, I couldn’t feel fulfilled because I couldn’t grasp every single pixel of every single scene, until she said “I just wanna feel everything” and it kind of drew me back. I’ve never felt anything like this before, I’ve never heard someone speak such relatable words. It’s like my brain’s it own entity torturing me day and night. I feel bad because many other people feel this same way, but I’m glad someone managed to put it to words. I’m so grateful for this.
She is a great lyricist. I feel her emotion in the way she expresses herself in all ways that song is like wine. it only gets better in time. This is one of my favorite music videos of all time, it's so artistic and beautiful.
As someone with depression and anxiety disorders, I am yet to find a song that better describes them. The left of center oddly specific metaphors she uses are insanely accurate, "like a second skeleton trying to fit beneath the skin" couldn't be more true..
When you love life so much it frightens you.... That's what I always got that feeling from this, because I can relate to it in that way. I love ambiguity. I think it's so underrated.
Heard this play in The Handmaid's Tale's S3Ep7 ending. I've liked the song years back but I only realized what it meant when I actually saw the lyrics once again. This is art.
Just thank you. Thank you for being a voice for us - you’re an inspiration for remembering we aren’t alone - even when we alone late night mentally beating ourselves up.
The calmness inher artistry Despite the fact that she knows even as an amazing artist is constant panic on being not enough in every tangible medium- really keeps me going. There's this childlike sense of wonder captured here in this video (the squids dead and giant) are ultimately representative of how artists feel like we're killing art as we execute, but as she crosses the bridge the multiple legged creature is is unttainable. Wanting to be everything. But not possible. The constant haunt of lackng. Then...to layer it deeper... She belt outs about her knowing this is a chemical Infrequency that also simultaneously gives her talent. Constant frustration. Seeking solitude in a large bed. But reconciling it's futitle in the effort. I wish i could meet her. Xx- Bella.
The crazy thing about this song is that when I first heard I really felt it for her but over the years my anxiety and depression has progressed so much that it's almost as if this song was meant for future. I listen to this song more than I did in the past. It's one of my go to songs because I mostly struggle at night the most and I feel every single thing that she emotes in this song.
i just realised that for me, this song is the definition of what c-ptsd feels like.. it will never go away but at least i have a song to describe it now..
Fiona if you ever read these comments, I cherish the depth of your heart and how it seems to speak for mine. I wish I could say this in person some day.
Your wonderfully articulated words perfectly explain my insomnia. I love you Fiona. Thanks for helping me through life. You're a gift. And I appreciate you.
beautiful song, like everything she does. a true mad genius, in my opinion. its a shame we live in a world where everyone doesnt get this music. its better than any of the crap out there now. for 20 yrs ive told people to check her out, everyone that has loves her.
I have been listening since her first CD. I had the biggest crush on her. I find her music tastes and talents to be amazing. Even after all these years she is still stunningly attractive. I explored my own chance to be a musician in the intervening years, never went anywhere. If I had I always wanted my music to be as cool and amazing as hers.
This song helps me KNOW I'm not alone in having this kind of brain. I wish I could thank her 1000 times for putting it into words
Keep up the good fight. We are many for we are legion.
Ditto

Well Microsoft just made her kind of a big deal, so I'm gonna say she was 4+ years ahead of her time.

Oh, I absolutely agree. I just watced this video and this is exactly what I thougth: this woman is not just musician, she is a magician!

i took it as a wall built to keep people/things percieved as potentially unsafe/harmful away. And yes, very powerful whichever the right one is.
I love this line too, helped me so much during my own mental struggles

Couldn't have said it better
livingsansara I love you for this comment!
livingsansara DAMN; so true ¬¬
Thank you for this comment
I think the best part about the song as it shows reality it shows what life is really like good doesn't sugarcoat anything
This is one of my favorite music videos of all time, it's so artistic and beautiful.
hi u must take a look of some korean music video that directored by digipedi. its fuckin aesthetic
I agree. Just... overall.... incredible.
you can't use aesthetic like that
You can't use can't like that.
I was recently introduced to her and I immediately fell in love. She is some of the only music I feel comfortable signing and I sing in the same pitch as her. I love her music and she has a wonderful voice and such a way with words. Thank you Fiona.
Lucky you. Lots of great albums from fiona. She's a true poet. Beautiful musician.
bravo! feel free to put cover versions of her work on youtube

Almost 8 years after this masterpiece, we are less than a week away from the queen's return. Rejoice
underrated talent + one of the most beautiful women in the world = Fiona Apple
I'm the 69th like
Nicki is the most beautiful woman in the world 😡😡
@@milliebobbybrown3190 not everything is about nicki 😭
No she's not the most beautiful...

Me too. I love how she uses her voice as an instrument. It's such a quietly intense vocal performance.
She's beautiful, on the inside and on the outside. I wish she could see it.
then she'd be kanye
Every single night
I endure the flight
Of little wings of white-flamed
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine
Percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
That's where the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in
Every single night's alight with my brain
What'd I say to her?
Why'd I say to her?
What does she think of me?
That I'm not what I ought to be
That I'm what I try not to be
It's got to be somebody else's fault
I can't get caught
If what I am is what I am, 'cause I does what I does
Then brother, get back, 'cause my breast's gonna bust open
The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk
I just made a meal for us both to choke on
Every single night's a fight with my brain
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
So I'm gonna try to be still now
Gonna renounce the mill a little while and
If we had a double-king-sized bed
We could move in it and I'd soon forget
That what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does
And maybe I'd relax, let my breast just bust open
My heart's made of parts of all that surround me
And that's why the devil just can't get around me
Every single night's alright, every single night's a fight
And every single fight's alright with my brain
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything

Thank you for this. Much appreciated.
thank you so much ❤
Thank you 🥰
I'm addicted to this song
5. Hello! I’m Angie and I know is a lot to ask but could please check out my cover on my channel? My dream is to become a singer please help me to come true my dream, I’ll be Grateful
*****
I went and listened, you are terrible and have zero chance of a successful singing career beyond cruise ships and cabaret, I think its cruel people are telling you that you have talent as they are giving you a false sense of reality.
Find a more realistic goal

Fiona is one of those few artists that gets more and more interesting with time.
Yes, right alongside tool & pink floyd, & dare I say Garbage? That's who she should do a song with
as someone who grew up on hip hop and electronic music, i'd never heard the term "singer songwriter" until someone introduced me to fiona apple. the idler wheel changed my life.
I love Fiona Apple. She never compromised her artistic integrity.
She is a great lyricist. I feel her emotion in the way she expresses herself in all ways
Just people who truly suffered and really understand what is like to feel pain consuming your soul are going to feel every single word of this song...and maybe even cry along...thank you, Fiona. It really helped me to survive my darkest days.
people in comment sections for artists like her always ask why no one they know has even heard of their favorite artist. relax. millions of people listen to them, they just all have no friends.
I love this woman, her music, her art. Fiona Apple is one of the most brilliant songwriters out there.
Wow almost ten years old! I remember my mom buying the album and us listening to it together for the very first time, really brings me back :) forever a masterpiece of an album!
An artist of the highest order. This video is an example of someone who must exhibit every facet of their vision, as they see it. If you are so fortunate to appreciate all the detail, then consider yourself fortunate indeed. I love you Fiona.
This song really speaks to my BPD brain. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to listen to her music. It’s great!
Dear Fiona, your music is like a mother to me. Thank you for sharing your miraculous talent that helps so many pained, lonely, anxious, depressed souls like myself carry on 🖤
Incredibly out of the blue, she once again astounds all of us! She has re-invented herself again! Few artists have such loyal fans as her and she will go down in history!
"Gonna renounce the mill a little while" I love how much imagery she uses in her lyrics. The metaphors, similes, analogies. Simply brilliant. I find myself remembering lyrics such as this one all the time.
I'm on a Fiona apple song marathon.
She's an amazing musician and so ahead of her time. She knows how to choose the right words to really make you understand and feel the song.
I really can't get enough of this song, and the utter strangeness of the music video just takes it to a whole different level of enamourment. Bravo Fiona!
I have never commented on a youtube video. Yet. It's 3 am and all I want is to drive a stake through my skull. A thin skewer that would slide through me like a shish-kabob. Listening to Fiona doesn't take away this urge, but it provides me some tiny feeling of solace. I am not alone on this rock. It's true, I'll never sing like FIona. My roommates are probably perturbed by my tinny warbling, alone and drunk and full of feeling. Mental health is different for everyone. Yet Fiona has so succinctly described my colliding and opposing feelings of anxiety and depression in one beautiful desolate song. Goddamn I'm drunk and there is no way this is coherent, but I love you Fiona, and at least for tonight, your words and voice have made existence worth it.
How was the day after?
For someone who has never left a comment you are strikingly adept at it. You formulate your words into description that conveys your point and your plight in a manner that is complimentary to your imagination and ability to paint ideas and shadow thoughts in a way few are able to with words they are given. I guess I am sayin I think ya write words real real nice and stuff.
I like how minimalistic this one is. Incredible song. Reminds me of certain jams by velvet underground. Fiona is a nice discovery.
I love Fiona's music. Every album, every song is perfection.
This song has stuck with me since I was young, I’ve grown to love her art a great deal over the years.
I DONT HAVE WORDS THIS IS A MASTERPIERCE
I can't stop pressing repeat. This is so good. I loved Tidal in my angsty teenage years, but didn't really dive too much further into her catalog. I have SUCH a deeper appreciation for her lyrical abilities now... she is so beautiful
Outstanding!! I absolutely love this song. I can't and don't understand all of the negativity some of you have for her whatever the reason. She's extremely musically talented, very intelligent, passionate, sensitive, poetic, physically gorgeous, and simply makes music that touches her soul. She doesn't make music to suit trends or others agendas. She does what she wants and it comes from the heart. Isn't that what a true and wonderful musician really is? I think that all combines to make her one of the most beautiful musicians of our time. There's no reason to promote your negative energies upon anyone. Negativity never creates positivity, it will only multiply the negativity. Thank you Fiona for staying real and true to yourself.
that's when the pain comes in
like a second skeleton
this is such an incredible moment. what a vocalist, what a poet!
✨No One Escapes Their Sacred Duty✨ Fiona has ALWAYS been perfection for the story of my young adult life...nice to see she continues to touch the corners of my soul & my own version of a Handmaid's Tale playing all around so I thank her as well as everything
the more i listen to this song the more i like it for some reason
me too
5 years ago I left a sarcastic comment here (sigh), now I can’t stop listening
This video is a masterpiece just as the song.
Few artists can shatter my heart into so many pieces with so few words.
I remember listening to this song as a 12 year old just beginning to get generalized anxiety disorder and relating to the painful blossoming determination she speaks of here…the nightly panic attacks, and this video was so soothing to me as a young tween who loved animals and zoos and aquariums and used their beauty to cope with the pain I was experiencing from both anxiety and PMDD. Fiona, thank you for your beautiful artistry and for making me feel less alone. Your music not only made me feel seen, but cherished and tenderly held. ❤❤❤❤
She is such a great artist and songwriter.
Not that anyone asked, but here's my interpretation of the video (not just the song but the visuals of the music video itself):
The first thing i notice is that there are golden threads every where. At one point they are connected to her limbs like a marionette, controlling her. But I think the meaning has to do with the motif of the bull and the ancient Greek myth about Ariadne's thread. In the story, the thread helps Theseus to escape from the labyrinth (maze) and the Minotaur within (creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man). In the video she is seen in bed with a man who has the head of a bull. The threads through out the video allude to her thoughts and emotions being a maze from which she can't escape. By the end of the video, she has excepted this as she warms up to the Minotaur in bed.
The Snails and turtles obviously correlate directly to the lyrics of the song in which she talks about the shell and her fragility. ("My breast's gonna bust open, The rib is the shell, And a heart is the yolk, And I just made a meal for us both to choke on") The Giant Octopus terrorizing the beautiful city of Paris at night, is her uncontrollable thoughts terrorizing her brain at night.
At one point she is playing with a hula dancing doll, and the video cuts to her dressed as the hula dancer which again represents being handled or controlled by her thoughts like a puppet, instead of visa versa.
Her thoughts are continually portrayed by water, often showing her swimming through them (upside down to add to the alienation). At 2:30 she is wearing perfect, white gloves and looking into the aquarium as the golden thread taunts her with the idea of escape.
Wow GREAT interpretation of this epic video! Thanks for Sharing
Thank you for your interpretation! I wasn't able to decipher any of it.
Perfect
Bro how'd you get all of these??? You really are a genius
I also feel the theme of trauma is transformed in the Minotaur motif. The skeleton on the floor she struggles against is a literal hint to her trauma as well as the lyrics, and she accepts monstrous or strange things in her life because she has seen all the range of living creatures and accepts the ones she can relate to
The writing is phenomenal.
one of the most underrated performers of the last 30 years, i keep going back to his song in awe of just how wonderful it is. If music was based on capturing the essence of an emotion, it is a wonderfully melodic and vocally raw interpretation of ones internal struggle with depression, melancholy, insomnia. Her music helps so many people.
Wonderful song. Love the lyrics. "....I'm not what I ought to be? And what I try not to be has got to be somebody else's fault. I can't get caught." are the best lines this morning but it's all brilliant.
thank you ... so much ... this is just so pure emotional expression and it helped me understand so much and cope with all the things that happened and still do ... so thank you fiona ... really
I never indulge in hallucinogens but this video makes me feel that I just have. Fiona knows how to do this at the same time as making brilliant music. What a talent she has!!
It is so unique and magical. I love the contrasts in her voice when she sings 'I just wanna ...' following each other first strongly and then with a palpable fragility in her voice.
when i was 7 this came out, and i remember my parents watching it for the first time with me in the room. i was so confused from all of the flashing lights and all of the darkness, the weird music was one i'd never heard before. but now, i can truly appreciate the beauty of this song.
thank you fiona, for not selling out, and staying true to your music, alot of men from our generation, would say they fell for you with criminal, for me though, was your speech about being yourself and not idolizing stars on mtv so many years ago, it was like you were talking directly to my soul, i have carried that sound of you sticking it to the industry since, so again thank you for being a real woman, and not an ass shaking industry puppet, sincerely a man, nothing more, nothing less.
well said
it`s that really important, not to selling out? cheese, in my humble opinion.
BenMJay if a man has to tell you he is a real man then he isn't.
Says the dude reading all the Fiona Apple comments. lol!
I hope you wouldn't look at a 14 year old. That's is perverted.
"What I am is what I am, cuz I does what I does" has become one of my favourite lines ever
I was trying my best catching a glimpse of each and every single detail, though each frame came and went away so fast, I couldn’t feel fulfilled because I couldn’t grasp every single pixel of every single scene, until she said “I just wanna feel everything” and it kind of drew me back. I’ve never felt anything like this before, I’ve never heard someone speak such relatable words. It’s like my brain’s it own entity torturing me day and night. I feel bad because many other people feel this same way, but I’m glad someone managed to put it to words. I’m so grateful for this.
Always been into music. I’m so disappointed I didn’t discover the lovely, fantastic Fiona sooner 🥰
A true artist in this decaying world. Keep dodging the devil.
hey man
@@archielund4535 hey man
She's been ahead of her time living on her own island since her first record. There really is nobody like her
She is a great lyricist. I feel her emotion in the way she expresses herself in all ways
that song is like wine. it only gets better in time.
This is one of my favorite music videos of all time, it's so artistic and beautiful.
I loved her letter to her dog, she has a unique voice.
The devil can't get around me.
❤❤
As someone with depression and anxiety disorders, I am yet to find a song that better describes them. The left of center oddly specific metaphors she uses are insanely accurate, "like a second skeleton trying to fit beneath the skin" couldn't be more true..
When you love life so much it frightens you....
That's what I always got that feeling from this, because I can relate to it in that way.
I love ambiguity. I think it's so underrated.
Her creativity is a breath of freshness. I am grateful for her being.😂😂😂😂😂
This album makes my depression worse, but I love it so much... I can’t stop listening❤️
1 of the most talented.
She'll always be gorgeous in my eyes! Love this woman since she debuted
god bless you man. I hope you can live righteously for Jesus Christ
Fuck that shit
Hail leviathan
+Rodolfo Morales proof that Jesus is real and a god ?
@@sorenolsen1165 Please don't push your mythology on others.
Fiona has one of my favorite voices of all time. Such a wonderfully emotive singer.
As someone who struggles with ADHD & anxiety, I feel this song to my core. Fiona Apple is so underrated
I love her so much, even if she wears seafood as a hat.
It doesn't looks real!
best comment and least pretentious thing down here
I love her BECAUSE she does.
THIS
Benjamin Norton who says its food...?
This is the first song I ever listened from her. I was one second in and I knew I’d like it lol.
that song is like wine. it only gets better in time.
I love Fiona Apple. She never compromised her artistic integrity.
Every single thing about this is perfect.
Heard this play in The Handmaid's Tale's S3Ep7 ending. I've liked the song years back but I only realized what it meant when I actually saw the lyrics once again. This is art.
I'm here for the same. And this is amazing!
Poor thing. I think she was really struggling at the time. Fiona is so artistic and involved yet paranoid and Evolved.
Just thank you. Thank you for being a voice for us - you’re an inspiration for remembering we aren’t alone - even when we alone late night mentally beating ourselves up.
Bjork, Fiona, and Florence!!!!
and aurora please
are y'all just gonna disrespect Kate Bush like that? alright...
holy trinity
Infp club!
aves with no wings i love this club
I always said this gal gets it, she really gets life.
"My heart's made of parts of all that surround me. That's why The Devil just can't get around me"
The world will never know her like again.
Why am I about to cry??? I came back to this video for the 3rd time now and this song pierces my heart.
The calmness inher artistry
Despite the fact that she knows
even as an amazing artist is
constant panic on being not
enough in every tangible
medium- really keeps me going.
There's this childlike sense of
wonder captured here in this
video (the squids dead and giant)
are ultimately representative of
how artists feel like we're killing
art as we execute, but as she
crosses the bridge the multiple
legged creature is is unttainable.
Wanting to be everything.
But not possible.
The constant haunt of
lackng.
Then...to layer it deeper...
She belt outs about her
knowing this is a chemical
Infrequency that also simultaneously
gives her talent.
Constant frustration.
Seeking solitude in a large bed.
But reconciling it's futitle in the effort.
I wish i could meet her.
Xx- Bella.
The crazy thing about this song is that when I first heard I really felt it for her but over the years my anxiety and depression has progressed so much that it's almost as if this song was meant for future. I listen to this song more than I did in the past. It's one of my go to songs because I mostly struggle at night the most and I feel every single thing that she emotes in this song.
So good! So dazzling , such rhythm and the Voice of a angle! Blessed to able to experience it! Wow
i just realised that for me, this song is the definition of what c-ptsd feels like.. it will never go away but at least i have a song to describe it now..
Fiona if you ever read these comments, I cherish the depth of your heart and how it seems to speak for mine. I wish I could say this in person some day.
HER BEST VIDEO HANDS DOWN
“My heart’s made of parts of all that’s around me and that’s why the devil just can’t get around me.”
Your wonderfully articulated words perfectly explain my insomnia. I love you Fiona. Thanks for helping me through life. You're a gift. And I appreciate you.
Very cool hearing this in Euphoria! Love Fiona need to her beautiful voice in my shows !
beautiful song, like everything she does. a true mad genius, in my opinion. its a shame we live in a world where everyone doesnt get this music. its better than any of the crap out there now. for 20 yrs ive told people to check her out, everyone that has loves her.
I have been listening since her first CD.
I had the biggest crush on her. I find her music tastes and talents to be amazing. Even after all these years she is still stunningly attractive.
I explored my own chance to be a musician in the intervening years, never went anywhere. If I had I always wanted my music to be as cool and amazing as hers.
Ducking BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!! Singing what all of us are going through with these Soundwaves... THANK YOU
