The new Fiona Apple is awesome. Go get it people! I like this mix by Mike Elizondo better than the unreleased Jon Brion one. That one had too much of his personality stamped over it, it didnt feel like a Fiona album, more like the soundtrack to some quirky "indie" Paul Thomas Anderson film.
My ten favorite Fiona Apple tracks (not in any particular order):
- Paper Bag
- Shadowboxer
- Waltz (better than fine)
- I Know
- Parting Gift (this is the new obessesion; itunes tells me ive played it 34 times since Wednesday already)
- Criminal
- Across the Universe
- Sullen Girl
- To Your Love
- Never is a Promise
Parting Gift
I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once more than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love
I bet you could never tell
That I knew you didn't know me that well
It is my fault you see
You never learned that much from me
Oh you silly, stupid pastime of mine
You were always good for a rhyme
And from the first to the last time
The signs says 'stop'
But we went on whole-hearted it ended bad
But I love what we started
They said 'stop'
But we went on whole-hearted it ended bad
But I love what we started
I took off my glasses
While you were yelling at me once more than once
So's not to see you see me react
Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again
So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back
I bet your fortressed face
Belied your fort of lace
It is by the grace of me
You never learned what I could see
Oh you silly, stupid pastime of mine
You were always good for a rhyme
And from the first to all the last time
All the signs says 'stop'
But we went on whole-hearted it ended bad
But I love what we started
They said 'stop'
But we went on whole-hearted it ended bad
But I love what we started
