we may die before knowing how many years Fiona is ahead of her time

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.

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

"The rib is a shell and the heart is a yoke and I just made a meal for us both to choke on." My favorite line of the song.

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.

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.

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.

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.

she perfectly embodied anxiety and depression

that song is like wine. it only gets better in time.

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 Songwriters: MAGGART FIONA APPLE / APPLE FIONA Every Single Night lyrics © Fhw Music Show less

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 love Fiona Apple. She never compromised her artistic integrity.

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.

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.

Fiona is the Apple a day that everyone needs.

She is a great lyricist. I feel her emotion in the way she expresses herself in all ways

She's beautiful, on the inside and on the outside. I wish she could see it.

Almost 8 years after this masterpiece, we are less than a week away from the queen's return. Rejoice

Bjork, Fiona, and Florence!!!!

underrated talent + one of the most beautiful women in the world = Fiona Apple

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.

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.

As someone who struggles with ADHD & anxiety, I feel this song to my core. Fiona Apple is so underrated

Fiona is one of those few artists that gets more and more interesting with time.

I love her so much, even if she wears seafood as a hat.

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.

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.

This is one of my favorite music videos of all time, it's so artistic and beautiful.

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.

nobody understands me the way this woman does. she’s too fucking real it hurts

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.

Every single person has experienced this: Being unable to sleep because your brain won't shut up. Your stomach feels full of moths, you feel cold even though you have a thick blanket.

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!

I DONT HAVE WORDS THIS IS A MASTERPIERCE

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.

my BRAAAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAn

"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.

save me fiona apple

The writing is phenomenal.

the more i listen to this song the more i like it for some reason

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 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

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!

“My heart’s made of parts of all that’s around me and that’s why the devil just can’t get around me.”

I'm addicted to this song

She's been ahead of her time living on her own island since her first record. There really is nobody like her

"What I am is what I am, cuz I does what I does" has become one of my favourite lines ever

Poor thing. I think she was really struggling at the time. Fiona is so artistic and involved yet paranoid and Evolved.

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..

Very impressed with the vocal creativity on this song. The dynamic and tone range combined with the less than orthodox chorus.

the most beautiful woman on planet earth

A true artist in this decaying world. Keep dodging the devil.

This video is a masterpiece just as the song.

I like how minimalistic this one is. Incredible song. Reminds me of certain jams by velvet underground. Fiona is a nice discovery.

✨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

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.

HER BEST VIDEO HANDS DOWN

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 🖤

Fiona Apple is a true child of Generation X. She stayed in that alt artistry, not commercialized after her first hit album, told everyone in the industry is bullshit. she did it her way, and Gen Z might not get her because tiktok music is overproduced and manufactured to sell, the profit motive of tubes.

It blows my mind that the majority of the people commenting on this are focusing on her appearance. Anyway, I think Fiona Apple is one of the most brilliant song writers out there. She is incredibly passionate and poetic. Her music has helped me get through some shit and I've been listening to her for years. To the people focusing on her flaws: get over yourselves. EVERYONE has flaws. No one is perfect. People battle with shit in their lives. Imagine what Fiona goes through on a daily basis. People always making negative remarks about her physique. No one should have to deal with that. Just keep your negative comments away. Nothing good comes from it. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

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'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 love this woman, her music, her art. Fiona Apple is one of the most brilliant songwriters out there.

Did anyone know that panic at the disco was gonna sample this song for miss Jackson it was actually called bad apple then and they had some of her vocals in it and the lyrics were even different. But she wasn't having it and didn't let them do it

this happened in 2018-2019 but her response to lil nas x sampling this song without permission was actually so good: 'where's my money, you cute little man?' 😂they could do a wild collab

This is one of the greatest songs ever made. This shit is timeless this is incredible

This album makes my depression worse, but I love it so much... I can’t stop listening❤️

"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.

She is such a great artist and songwriter.

Fiona is a 90 watt soul in a 30 watt world...

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!!

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'm attempting to start a Kickstarter project in which all of Fiona Apple's songs are adapted into a theatrical/broadway performance. Would you guys pay to watch something like this? Have small vignettes in which each particular song tells a story through an array of different performers. Yay or nay?

I introduced her to the girl I like, she says this is the type of music she's tried finding for God knows how long

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.

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.

Glad the handmaidens tale brought me here 😫🤞🏾

I always said this gal gets it, she really gets life.

fiona apple actually did all her own walking for this video

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

This song has stuck with me since I was young, I’ve grown to love her art a great deal over the years.

Why am I about to cry??? I came back to this video for the 3rd time now and this song pierces my heart.

She'll always be gorgeous in my eyes! Love this woman since she debuted

I love Fiona's music. Every album, every song is perfection.

I loved her letter to her dog, she has a unique voice. The devil can't get around me. ❤❤

This song is everything to me. Suffering from bpd, fighting to recover, to heal and understand myself and learn how to love. 😭 Fiona with the words for my aching heart

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.

"Where's my money... you cute little guy, where's my money?"

that's when the pain comes in like a second skeleton this is such an incredible moment. what a vocalist, what a poet!

Always been into music. I’m so disappointed I didn’t discover the lovely, fantastic Fiona sooner 🥰

since Tidal, she has been "extraordinary" to me. cannot wait to marinate in Fetch the Bolt Cutters.

awh the way she smiles at 3:23 :')

She's never compromised and wow. She's something to behold

one of the best songs ever

@0:35 - We loved working with you Fiona! ~ 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

Every single thing about this is perfect.

I love everything Fiona Apple has ever done. My favorite female voice of all time.

Long live Fiona! 🍻💪👌🥳

1 of the most talented.
