She makes me want to be more myself, I identify a lot with her way of thinking but I'm still stuck in trying to explain myself to people and express myself as precisely as possible so that they understand me but somehow that limits me, limits my self-expression and creativity; I hope to become that authentic.
you really hit the nail with this comment for me, the reason why i overthink and overanalyze everything so i can feel understood and yet i fail at that too
Maria, when I stopped explaining myself and my actions (45+ years into my life) things got a lot better. Self-agency. And what a great complement to Fiona that she makes you want to be more yourself. Fiona rocks and so do you! ✌🏼~Dale
I was thinking about this as well. Everything has to align for someone like Apple to show up and create. Those influences, from her actor father to her musician mother and the musical/drama family won't exist in the future. Children may not even come from parents as we know them or if they do, they'll be Gattica babies and one of the things that makes her so powerful is how she's able to embrace everything, including her flaws.
Fiona seems like a genius. It’s very difficult to ask questions about how she creates songs. It comes natural to her. Many want this extravagant answer. It just happens, when it happens!
Creating songs comes naturally to Fiona because she has tapped into her gift consistently and for years. When you start out young, the momentum is powerful. She is the type who has the drive to explore her inner world and seeks to express it. She taps into her creativity by using vehicles (tools) to express it (the piano, voice and language) and she has the desire to make songs that are meaningful and/or useful to her. When a person has the intention, passion, and the vehicles (tools) to support their creativity, at some point it begins to flow. It's as if LIFE says: "We see you! You keep doing this creative thing fairly consistently. You have developed the tools/vehicles to make music. You put a lot of passion and thought into it. And so, we (LIFE) support you as YOU allow it to happen. Life wants us to express. We are passionate and creative beings who have much inside of us to express. It's basically our job in this life to find our passion and pursue it.
She has so much more to get out than just her music. What we hear is such a small part. She could never sell out because it's not about fame to her, it's narrating the story through song. Way ahead of her time.
Ahead of her time?? The vast majority of all music written from the dawn of humanity has not been done for fame! She and everyone like her are throwbacks. Music for fame is a relatively recent invention. C'mon!
Hearing her describe her writing process (usually angst-driven and pre-formed before any actual writing starts) reminds me of my own process, also in how she doesn't write unless she feels like she needs to. I love that she views her art as something that she keeps with her at all times and doesn't need to be commodified. Been adoring this woman for the past 15 years (almost half of my life lol) and here's to another 15!
5:43 It makes sense that artists don’t write when they’re happy because writing is a coping mechanism, and if you’re happy and you have nothing to cope with, why write? With that being said, it is very possible to write when you’re happy
No one ever thought you were awful. They were intimidated bc their thoughts and emotions lacked substance and shape. You are beautiful. Your new album is phenomenal and I am happy you're finally seeing yourself the way we do equal parts love and fire. ❤
I’ve been listening to her music since “Tidal” in 1996 but this is the first time I’ve ever listened to her speaking voice. First time I’ve ever heard her express ideas non-musically. I’m pretty sure she’s a genius. If nothing else, she’s impressively self-aware. And funny. And beautiful in a midwest sort of way.
I laughed all through this because she reminds me so much of myself. She’s not about the “hustle” and is not looking for anything but understanding and expression through her work. I love that she admitted that she was pretty much just watching TV for 6 years because the expectation is that you’re doing something for that length of time. No man, you can do whatever the hell you want and it’s fine to just take a long break and do nothing if you can get away with it. I’m similarly fine with a simple life with a few close friends. Some are driven by goals and the need to reach the next thing (for what exactly I don’t know cause we’re all going to end up dead in the end anyway) and others aren’t and that’s okay. Also the way she struggles to express herself verbally I recognize as everything and nothing trying to go through a small opening at the same time. It’s like grasping at clouds.
I remember owning her album in a cassette back when I was a 90s kid, now that I'm older, I found out how intelligent and unpredictable she is. You don't know what other side she's going to show. That would makes her herself. And I admire that about her.
What an interresting soul, not even blinded by her outter beauty after listening to her talk for a minute. When you're that gorgeous, you have to be a strong presence as a person to draw people to your inner beeing and not have them dwelling on your aesthetics alone and have everybody just rambling "yeah-yuh- I-I- agree".
Zach is hilarious, " The song not about love...which is a song about what?" Clever fella. I have the same thought process as Fiona. I just start talking or writing and it just becomes all stream of consciousness.
I’ve always been drawn in to want to know “Fiona” as she’s just a very interesting person who doesn’t seem to see herself in the clouds while the ppl are on the ground. She shares her experience and personal stories with us like we’re peers. Live your best life! ✌🏼❤️
She's the kind of girl that gets invited to parties, but doesn't want to be there, so she complains about it before she shows up, and when she gets there, she ends up having fun.
"... and that's why people get awful and lose their thing" 😂 But for real, I've noticed that my favorite musicians take irregular years between albums, they're the real ones that create for real reasons.
7:21 to 7:40 is exactly how I feel that it's almost scary she said it! It is literally so hard to explain anything or talk about myself, it's like I lose all memory. Kinda like when your craving for someone you know to ask if your ok and when ppl start to realize that your not they will ask what's wrong tell me all about it, and then you just forget in an instance as if someone switched off a light and when your by yourself again that light comes back on and you remember every single detail. Idk maybe i'm just a mentally ill person hahaha!
Only people who grew up in the late 90's and early 2000's get it. She is my favorite, now and always. Her ability to write music was nothing short of genius. Back in the day when it wasn't about pop trendy but having an artistic expression that was unique and appealing. ❤❤
In my entire life I have never met a person who is so beautiful like not just physically but just her presence and the way she is you know.. I feel like even if I say that She's Art it still won't justify the way she is.. she is so much more.. so much more than just words made my human beings to lable someone or something.. she is a feeling, an emotion, she is what we need more of in this world.. love you Fiona 🍏❤
Love this woman. She's not afraid to face her real self. She's human. Very refreshing to see in a beautiful woman. She has the most beautiful eyes and seems to have a sweet soul.
I have written on the piano and guitar since I was six and ended up doing the same thing as fiona- Music became a vehicle for my angst and she became such an idol. Like a Joan of arc heroine for me navigating trauma through art.
At 11:00 they explain “channeling” to perfection. It is God’s antenna. I love her ability to say things even when the world thinks, she’s appears “out of touch”. This is what authenticity looks like. She doesn’t hide behind the veil of illusion. ❤
Amazing woman and a wonderful compilation. This has put my inner artist at ease somewhat. Good job, Fiona... I've always been a big fan, but now moreso.
Go ahead and die happily. The songs she writes are for you and everyone. They may start by being her outlet but when she puts it out in the world and you feel something from it then you are connected and that becomes something for you in the way it moves you or makes you feel. Still I do know you were speaking of a song for you inspired by you and special to just you. I totally get that. Only if she were to do the same for me it would be one of her songs that cut me apart. I would love it just as much if not more than a song for me that evoked happiness.
That is why she is amazing at composing the instrumentals, she always tried to translate something that wasn’t music to music. So the principle of making music of an impala running and jumping is very similar to translating emotions into music. She is an underrated genius
The British guys one ...and I find out new things about myself every time I listen I'm 48 n she's been my fave since I first saw her she was like 19. I totally get the idea of the music explaining yourselfs complicated simplicity but it didn't back fire love it's just timeless not all at once your helping
That’s exactly how I started playing piano 🎹, making up scores to things I’d see. Only my parents hated it and I wouldn’t be allowed to play the piano unless it was something they knew 🙄
It's so nice to hear her speak. I've enjoyed her work. It's nice to have a little insight into her as a person. She is attractive. I've looked at her for years now and she's pretty good looking.
She famously wrote Criminal in 45 minutes at the age of 17. I don't think there's a single song of hers I don't like. She's in a really great episode of Tiny Desk Concert playing with another band and I PRAY she will do another!
Wow.. I've only heard her sing, but now I feel better about being awkward when I talk, like speaking slow, pausing trying to find words I want to say, zig-zagging through a story, because Fiona is exactly like that. She's fluent in songwriting, I'm fluent in writing, and we're both OK.

Try to express more often - practice is everything in life
I feel so at home in this thread. Why can't i find people like this in real life
First, listen to others full story then they will want to hear yours. If they don't, then that is a narcissist and they don't matter.
We only get few artists like her in a lifetime. Bless
so true
And that is the truth!

She made enough money early on to be comfortable, and is now able to enjoy the rest of her life on her own terms. Isn’t that what we all strive for?

WHO fucking cares?!? SOOOO annoying!!!!!! I feel bad for you fuckin paedofiles. GROW UP. GROW UP.
Shes so smart and talented... since day one. God Bless You Fiona
Ugh thank you for this, she’s a national treasure
International treasure; one of the all time greats
That might be a little heavy.
@@daveclinton4945 The fact that you're watching decade-old clips of her speaking says enough

Fiona Apple is my godmother 🥰 i have felt like her since i was 6 years old, listening to Tidal and learning about life
Lucky person, I would so love to just spend one hour with Fiona, tell her ty for her music, for her just being herself. Love her
No person has ever been more beautiful all around

I'd heard she was an INFJ and I listen to her songs but it strikes me more now I've seen her in interviews.
she’s so relatable it’s crazy
She. Is. Beautiful.

You don't have to go to the piano only when you're down. I go to the piano because I enjoy hearing the music, and the feeling of accomplishment
Mucho respect!
she's amazing ♡
Anyone else agree with me that Paris Jackson resembles Fiona? Such stunning women. They totally look like they could be sisters 👯
That’s exactly how I started playing piano 🎹, making up scores to things I’d see. Only my parents hated it and I wouldn’t be allowed to play the piano unless it was something they knew 🙄
My name is Manuela and now I feel spritually connected to Fiona Apple’s career 😂😂
It's so nice to hear her speak.
I've enjoyed her work.
It's nice to have a little insight into her as a person. She is attractive.
I've looked at her for years now and she's pretty good looking.
She can't explain herself! Love her!! Genius!
She's so beautiful and talented. Her songs have helped me get through some rough times.
She's an artist !!!
I seriously like her 😊 and she is a brilliant musician, obviously
This Lady is an absolute genius 😘
She is an inspired and inspiring genius, one of those rare, in-touch, accessible types that makes you feel better about yourself. A true human gem.
she reminds me of ann perkins from parks and rec lol
i love this woman shes so extraordinary
Now I can't unseen/unhear it
great vid. thx
Fiona writes scores to chase scenes on National Geographic. That's funny. I would love to hear one of those.
she is so cool. love her

she is so, so beautiful
Love her genius
i like that she doesn't write when she's happy. you don't always have to do everything all the time
💀💀💀 the cut to tarantino at 3:14
I like the Fiona/Quinton coke scene. lol
Love Ridden is my favorite song to sing.
Tidal is an amazing album
where are all my virgos at !!!
MEEE I LUV U
Here.
she's so virgo.
Interesting person. Good music. I liked her thought about when you’re happy why would you wasn’t to stop what’s making you happy
I understand her so well
I’m in love with this woman
I love apples.
I love how her gaze goes off into a corner, as if the answer to a question is going to be there somewhere in that area lol
She is an enigma!
Nothing gets better than REAL, Stay real be you and don`t get caught up in the hype ,,,Love X
She's so completely herself. It can't have ever been easy.

I'd love to watch a "Y'know Off" among Jim Root, Josh Homme and Fiona Apple.
Charism uniqueness nerve and talent
Tidal to this day is still a phenomenon all album unique and original and gets better with the years ❤
3:15 is the best
Brilliant
Her best line, in my opinion, is that when you complete something you should feel like you have nothing left. Take a minute to relax. Then go to town.
I am so in love
