I do enjoy Fiona Apple on occasion, but there's a sameness to many of her songs that keeps me from digging deeper into her work. Seriously - isn't this the same melody from "Shadowboxer"?

I have actually never heard this one, I like it! She is one of those artists that are wonderful in small doses.

Perhaps anorexia or bulimia is the problem. Your comment speaks to your lack of knowledge and sensitivity in regards to eating disorders. My wife had a bout with anorexia in her twenties. The 'just eat a sandwich' comments get really old, really fast. If only it were that easy. |

The album I own has different versions of all the songs, including this one. I prefer the one I own. This album was released twice. All songs have 2 versions. |

Love to hear some of the better examples of her work - the vocals on O Sailor sound amateurish.

When you pick songs from Fiona's collection, can we go beyond this one? Other than her flop of a most recent CD....she has some great songs that just don't seem to get played here. Just this one over and over.  |

Not only my cup of tea, but I'll take it with extra lumps. The opening syncopation kills me every time. I love the off-kilter discordant piano too. The song trips over itself in a way that makes all too much sense to me.
Now i'm listening to Elvis singing "...truthful mirror". more interesting rythms, dark lyrics and crazy piano. Thanks Bill!
What's next? Some Tom Waits, perhaps? |

Love it.
Love Fionna Apple. She has a very interesting history, if you're ever inclined to check it out. She has a weight problem and struggles with it daily.

Amen! I loved Tidal also which I got on sale. My fav heroin-chic performer still. She did a live version of Criminal on Letterman a few years ago that was goose-bump producing IMHO. |

These the same Buddhists doing the violent uprising thing in Myanmar?

You know what, those chords are just what makes it interesting to me!
Does it mean I'm an insane man or am I just a lover of " just different of the average crap" music? (excuse my french!) |

Odd fact - Fiona is the daughter of Brandon Maggart, forever famous to me as Helen's dad in The World According to Garp.

I agree, this song is very dragging and just doesnt make sense. There is absolutly no feeling or emotion in this song.

Despicably low? We are human beings. We have genitals and hormones and it's perfectly right and natural to get fired up when we see a beautiful person.
I love Buddha and meditate regularly, but I am not into the sexual repression some "Buddhists" (and Hindus and Catholics and...) somehow see as pure or enlightened.
It's repression.
...and I doubt any Buddhist master would despise someone for expressing their sexuality. Remember the great Buddhist value called compassion?
