Fiona Apple released her debut album "Tidal" in 1996. She was 18 when she released the album and the lyrics and song meanings would show that she had the ideas and the soul of a mature adult, and was stuck in an 18 year-olds body. Fiona is a very grown up person for her age. With a strong voice and an open mind she is just getting started in the music industry and already her debut album has left fans and the media to wonder what talent this young lady will come out with next. Fiona is known for her strong voice and for her talent on the piano. "It wasn't that I didn't think I had a nice voice, but I consider myself more a writer," Fiona says. "I played piano since I was about 8, and always wrote songs. I sang them because it wouldn't make sense for anyone else More... (Submit New Fiona Apple Lyrics) (Submit New Fiona Apple Lyrics) Review about Fiona Apple starving | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple To me it's quite obvious that what she's saying here is that she wants the dude, can't or won't have him, so she just starves herself so the emotional and/or physical hunger (lust) will dissipate and be replaced by plain old hunger/preoccupation with food and finally the contented detachment of established anorexia. "Starving works" certainly not to get him back, but to change the internal landscape and feel a sense of freedom or triumph over the desire, instead of slavedom and endless want. At least, this is what I get from it. God, this is annoying... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple Why can't you just enjoy the freakin' song without overanalyzing it to death. If you like it and it means something to you, great. If someone else likes it and it means something else to them, let them have their opinion. Either way, it's not helpful to pick at it, only annoying. research | Reviewer: vm ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple Fiona Apple is known to have anorexic tendencies. This song is about thinking she found that someone to love and he doesn't love her back. People with eating disorders usually use not eating as a solution to everything as a sign of control. She can't make him love her, but she can starve, and starving gets results. "Hunger hurts but starving works." Yes it is about wanting someone to love her SO BAD but it is also about love in the eyes of an anorexic. about loving not about love | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Not About Love performed by Fiona Apple I absolutely love this song. Beyond how amazing her voice and the instrumentals are, the lyrics are gold. "the early cars already are drawing deep breaths past my door" She has a power over words and just captures something abstract into the most beautiful of literary and musical cages. the best album evet | Reviewer: angel whitt ------ About the album When The Pawn performed by Fiona Apple i loved the album. i got it when i was a teen and it was on repeat for the whole thing all the time. its something that us open girls can connect with. i have looked all over the net for the songs to download to cd but cant find them for that purpose unless i have a credit card, which i dont lol. any ways i love the music the beat and the lyrics. this cd made me a big fan All this banter about rape and abortion... | Reviewer: J-man ------ About the song The Child Is Gone performed by Fiona Apple This is a beautiful and moving song...sure. Much of Fiona's music and deeply poetic and moving. It seems that this song is simply about asking for the privacy needed to reflect. Children cling and need others. She is asking for her lover's absence. She wants to wallow in her newness, and experience this new person she is becoming. She is a stranger to herself. No one else can be herself, so her lover can't help her know who she really is inside. Like the child who wants to cling to others for it's identity is gone. Worth the wait.... need a new one! | Reviewer: Dresden ------ About the album Extraordinary Machine performed by Fiona Apple Keep in mind that I adore Fiona Apple, so I am somewhat biased in my opinion of this album. However, I honestly think is an amazing album. With soulful lyrics, each song on the album takes you to exactly what Fiona is feeling and lets you in on a storytelling, powerful adventure. My motto in life actually come from this album. From "Please Please Please" ~ (My method is uncertain. It's a mess, but it's working. ~ K. Enough said. Listen to this album! wow | Reviewer: Avidruby ------ About the song Criminal performed by Fiona Apple from a lady that is in the precise pictured place of these words..... wow. thank you. I needed that. this is why we get addicted. addiction transferral. Oh well. whatever gets you through. i got to let go of shoes! oh, come on! | Reviewer: Jimena ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple it's hunger for love, not for food, it's so obvious, it's about a boy she really really wants to have, but she goes away from him on porpouse (starves from love) and it hurts her, but she knows that's what's better for her because she can't handle love. and I think most of the songs of her album When the Pawn are about the same thing, just read the lyric of "the way things are", she dumped someone, and she says: "I wouldnt know what to do with another chance If you gave it to me I couldnt take the embrace of a real romance Itd race right through me Im much better off the way things are I wouldnt know what to say to a gentle voice Itd roll right past me" and if you read the lyric of love ridden: "Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed And I wanna crawl in with you But I cry instead I want your warm, but it will only make Me colder when its over So I cant tonight, baby" or the lyric of "to your love": "Please forgive me for my distance The pain is evident in my existence Please forgive for my distance The shame is manifest in my resistance To your love" or "fast as you can": "You say you don't spook easy You won't go, but I know And I pray that you will Fast as you can, baby Run-free yourself of me Fast as you can" I guess there're all about the same boy, and I can totally relate with her in those songs, I love someone, and he USED to love me (not anymore though, because I have left him so many times), And I always ran away from him because I freaked out each time he was anywhere near me, so now I'm "happier" without him, because I feel relieve, but it hurts me anyway being away from him, because he is the most amazing man I've ever known, and I miss him like hell. and yes, she had an eating desorder, maybe like someone said in here, that's why she can relate the feeling of starve from love with the feeling of starve from food, she knows how it feels, but it's totally a metaphor. eh | Reviewer: Nae ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple i can understand why people with eating disorders can associate this song... but personally, i just think about when i was so heartbroken love was just like this huge hunger it was the first time i had felt so much pain my real hunger just went away. it wasn't on purpose, like i thought i was too fat or anything. just raw emotion wha is that video | Reviewer: fat johnny ------ About the song Not About Love performed by Fiona Apple I am twice her age. But she really covers generations. Man she would have been a sweet hippie. What is that video of her singing in a bar and she comes off the stage and does the song on the bar room floor. She is my baby That's what I call a breathe-taking song. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sullen Girl performed by Fiona Apple The first time I listened to this song, it wasn't as relevant as it is for me now; It was a calm song which was narrated by an ambitious voice only. When I discovered it was about rape, I read the lyrics and wow! the melody and the lyrics are perfect, are the most perfect picture for forgiveness after such a traumathic chapter in her life. amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Get Him Back performed by Fiona Apple this song makes perfect sense. people don't like to admit when they're too in to one person and they'll do whatever it takes to "get them back," but this song fits sooooo many people. so many, man. it's fucking pro. Is it just about love, or is it also about an eating disorder?? | Reviewer: SaraTF ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple We know Fiona writes about what she knows and feels. But the reason why she is so good and special to us fans is because we relate to what she writes and sings. I'm portuguese, and there's this poet who to me is the greates ever, - Fernando Pessoa. He has this poem: "They say I pretend or lie All I write. No such thing. It simply is that I Feel by imagining. I don't use the heart-string. All that I dream or lose, That falls short or dies on me, Is like a terrace which looks On another thing beyond. It's that thing leads me on. And so I write in the middle Of things not next one's feet, Free from my own muddle, Concerned for what is not. Feel? Let the reader feel!" He has a point, a good one! "Let the reader feel!", meaning, relate to the lyrics the way they mean more to you... Kiss*** simply perfect! | Reviewer: LiLi ------ About the song Oh Sailor performed by Fiona Apple every single step of my hard times, Fiona's voice has always been there for me. and this song is specially one of her greatest hits! such as sullen girl and never is a promise. this girl is a musician genius! she's absolutely stunning, and i do agree with some of the comments up.. whenever you get to feel quite not well, Fiona's got the best medicine for it, do not displace your anger with anyone, just listen to her for once in while and you'll finally feel sooo much better! oh, and for the record, just imagine! i'm mexican, and even me, i'm so into her music. she's great! ... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple "I think people aren't realizing that eating disorders aren't seperate for the hurt of love. When you have an ed, it's intermingled in everything. So I think the song means both. She is hungry and starving in so many ways. The physical hunger is only the surface of a deeper hunger for love, for someone to really take care of her. I don't think the song really can be one or the other because the only way it really rings true is if it's both muddled into one train of thought. It's alright if it's complicated and messy because that's what love and disease and fear and hunger and want are. Messy." To me, this person is dead on. It almost made me cry. I'm struggling with an eating disorder and I've always known it was much more then being unhappy with my weight. And this short paragraph, pretty much explained the reasoning behind my disorder..There's so much more to be figured out on my part. But I'm just glad to see that someone gets what i'm feeling. i think... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple this song is about a relationship and she's relating the feeling of hunger to the feeling of desire and the feeling of starving to the feeling of NOT obtaining what she desires or, more acurately, not bothering to TRY to obtain what she desires. hunger hurts (wanting something so badly it hurt) but starving works (at least if i never try i'll never be disappointed) when it costs too much to love (id rather not love at all than love at the risk of being hurt). thats my interpretation-- she relates it to hunger and starving (perhaps because she can identify so well with those feelings) but i dont think the song is about eating disorders at all-- its about love and risks and being afraid of loss and pain :| | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple I only found out about this song when I was researching anorexia and it came up os a thinsporation trigger song.I'm not trying to say that it is is definatley about eating disorders I'm just saying that people are too quick to judge which is why a lot of girls end up anorexic. Beautiful song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Paper Bag performed by Fiona Apple I think she's using the hunger and starvin as metaphors because they're both feelings she can easily identify with, but that doesn't mean the song iz about eating disorders, so yeah, and it could mean she's talkin' about a relationship during her anorexic days! could be, but to say the song is about her eatin disorder is just rediculous! Dark and Peaceful | Reviewer: Vanessa ------ About the song Sally's Song performed by Fiona Apple I love this song on the movie, and the movie its self. When I heard her sing this song I loved how she made it sound so full of... dread and want. The music in the background is just amazing and I love this song. It's dark and peaceful all at the same time.
