Lyrics:
You'll never see
The courage I know
Its colors' richness won't
Appear within your view
I'll never glow
The way that you glow
Your presence dominates
The judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still
Too proud to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'd never
Give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie

Fiona Apple is one of the most gifted songwriters of her generation. Such an authentic artist.
Fiona Apple, Toria Amos my soundtrack daily.
She's just wonderful!
Stop following me, you have an amazing taste in music tho.
Millennial generation
Fiona Apple and Kurt Cobain understand (understood?) music on a level that honestly wouldnt be good for most people. Too much emotion.....
She wrote this at 14 years old! Crazy talent
Wait-really? Where did you hear that?
In an interview for Apple Music (I think) she says she wrote a lot of these songs at 14, but only put together and released the studio album (Tidal) when she was 17!
Really? 14? So Talented and in so much pain. I felt that pain at 14 as well. Still do. It never goes away.
@@chenlo18 She had been through some painful things at a really young age.
@@chenlo18 I think a lot of her anguish stems from the unfortunate event (rape) in her life...anyways, she's such an incredible talent so underrated
I’m about to cry. I haven’t watched this video since high school in the nineties. This album got me through so many dark times. My health is falling apart but this was a gift to find.
You are not alone, my health is fading fast and this song comforts me too...❤
Hang in there, you lovely souls. You are beautiful.
This is the most beautiful song ever...
💌💕💌
Hope life has improved
Criminally underrated artist, no pun intended
agreed
Why not? It's a good pun. :D
I agree that she's underrated. I disagree that the pun was unintended...
Absolutely!! How she never became a household name is beyond me but, on the other hand, I feel part of a very special fanaticism because those that do love her, REALLY love her!!
Yes
All this talent at 19 years old, what a moving artist.
+Christopher Briscoe
18 years* :)
Sad thing is, I've never heard anything better from her. I've also never heard anything after extraordinary machine, so maybe she has made a comparable album.
+Christopher Briscoe Dude, she released arguably her best album in 2012, "The Idler Wheel..." check it out. It was all over the critic's polls that year.
Thanks for the advice ; )
+Christopher Briscoe Wha!? Yeah.. the Idler Wheel is my favorite Fiona album. Definitely check it out !!
I love how she doesn't need to belt notes in order to create such great songs.. her voice is so lovely..
AGREED 💯
Its true.
Yeah it's more about the lyrics and composition of the music.
@@mercurialmagictrees i know most people will never get that part.
Nice to know you.
I had a bad trip on mushrooms once and the only thing that could settle me was listening to this on repeat whilst I slowly reconstructed my personality. I will always owe Fiona a dept of gratitude
Gotta be in a good happy state of mind Going INTO the trip, and only be around people you totally trust, do that, you’ll never have a bad trip
Scotty Too hotty I wouldn’t say never because the mind can wonder into any dark corner on shrooms, but I agree it’s best to be in that type of environment.
We all owe.
I had a bad panic attack once but it was a James Bay song on repeat that recentered me
. It tickles the chemicals.
Fiona says she can never play this again bc she doesn't how to... Honestly I'm grateful bc the emotion of it makes the song. It's nothing without the fire that made it.
"I'll never glow the way you glow." Thats one of the saddest thing you can say about your lover.
I’m not totally sure, but I’ve always been under the impression she wrote this at 15 about her parents..
@@melaniemoroz5077 The value in art lies in the many interpretations it's audience can derive, not in the meaning the artist imbued it with. But yes, I believe you're right.
@@dannahbanana11235 the best answer an artist can give when asked what their art (song, painting, sculpture, book, anything) means to them and why they made it is this: "I know what it means to me. I've made it and presented it to the public so that you, now, can tell me what it means to you. WhAt it means to me is irrelevant to you. What it actually is, is what you should be looking inside yourself to explain. Then, my fan, you can be my friend and we can individually share in silence the beauty of this creation as I one day will look forward to interpreting your art with my emotions and background to come to, I guarantee, a slightly different perception of your art than you. As I believe our perceptions Of my art vary and it would be wildly extreme to let yoU come to your own conclusion as to what this means to you only to have me come over and tell you no you're wrong." I said that after performing my Only full song I've ever wrote to About 20 people whO sadly applauded the saying more than the song. I knOw I'm paraphrasing someone else who said this all before but Everything has already been said for a long time. Thing is that Not everything has been Heard.
I adore everything about this particular comment’s thread. 💜
She wrote this about her parents after an argument at 14.
I always come back here when I want to sit down to true pain.
PoshLifeforME me too. Fiona sounds like a old soul in a young body. Love you Fiona.
You could say that. This song is from 20 years ago - when she was a teenager. And her father was a killer Santa Claus.
Did anyone else bawl after the first time hearing this song?
Storm Burton Prince Purple Rain
Me too
I am almost 40 years old. I have heard everything at this point. I have never heard anything more beautiful in my life.
I love Fiona but i think this below is a little more beautifull.
Just sharing my opinion tho.
ruclips.net/video/9Ln219f67p4/видео.html
vbrucegrind shhhh, just let people enjoy things 🤫
You haven't heard everything. Your experience is pretty limited.
Katheryne Mero oh my lord, another one? Can’t this person just have a favorite song without other people inserting their opinion? Of course they haven’t heard “everything”, it’s a figure of speech and you don’t know anything about their experience. This song is utterly heartbreaking and transcendent and I also think it’s the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
Yessss❤️
2024 and still forever changed by your artistry, Fiona. This record still gets to me as much as it did the first time I heard it.
She's still amazing I listen to fiona and deathmetal/hardcore but she gets me
This song helped me beat my anorexia. I listened to it at my lowest of lows, but though the years I turned it into a source of inspiration and took power over my body. This song will forever be meaningful to me beyond any words I can possibly use to explain.
Jeremy Alexander thank you 🙏🏼
Keep strong.
''The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own, you'll never feel the heat of this soul''
This is my favorite line, because it makes so much sense.
Antonio C
Antonio C
Followed by “my fever burns me deeper than I’ve ever shown to you” The entire thing my fav
Just as I was scrolling through the comments that line came up lol
fiona apple is like the best name ever
I thought I fully understood this song as a teenager... im 39 now and feel like she is me in this song after what I've been through. Fiona will always hold a place in my heart for explaining things about myself that I never could...
"Never Is A Promise"
You'll never see the courage I know
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I understand what I am
Still too proud to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'd never give up
Seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I realise what I am now
Too smart to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
You'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up
Knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in
You don't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing
When I start to cry
But never is a promise
And I'll never need a lie...
😂
This was the soundtrack to one of my breakups. She really has a way with words
Yes...she does...such a poet...
Darling, give me your absence tonight... great words for a breakup from the same album (Different song, of course).
The soundtrack to ALL of my breakups!🖤
I
soundtrack for ALL OF OUR BREAK UPS in the late 90's
All the feels.
I hate that 'deep' music isn't respected like it used to be.
This was so much appreciated back in the day and I still love it now.
Such a classic album.
I bet she feels things very deeply. This song reminds me of myself when I was a kid and through teen age years, when everything was new and clear and so acutely painful and beautiful at the same time. Very beautiful song.
Imagine being 19 putting this song out. Amazing.
Yes, and she wrote it at 15, and these vocals are from the demo tape ... and she hadn't ever played a gig. Album released at age 18.
This song is haunting and gorgeous.
always like fiona apple music this is a good one
Haunting and gorgeous, my favorite combination. I love her.
To me she is by far the best female artist ....
She wrote this one when she was 15. I was astounded! Such richness and depth of language as a teen.
All these years later & this song still makes me all teary eyed.
me too
One of the greatest songs ever written.
First heard this on the radio while driving shortly after it came out...had no idea who it was but it made me cry and almost pull over. Went to see Fiona in concert, sheer genius. She is a true artist, musically and poetically,
♥️
She will be remembered as a true genius.
This is one of her best songs. I love the album this song is on.
I remember stealing this cd from my mom when I was like 10 and not understanding this song but LOVING it. So pretty. I wish I still didn’t understand it.
Old friend and good buddy of the 10-4 variety, Rick Horten of Seattle and the Bay Area played this for me when we were kids. I cried, but he didn't know what to believe in. I'll always know who you are, boo...😢❤❤❤
No matter the decade, this songs continues to be a masterpiece. I was 19 when this came out in 96 and it makes me cry everytime. Its so beautiful ❤❤
Dammit, she made me cry. So beautiful.
She has a beautiful spirit and knows real pain... amazing artist.
Still crying 2019😞 This is a masterpiece!
Pure poetry
O this is my favorite Fiona song alright.
+Mustafa Kuloğlu Try Get Gone, Oh Well, Love Ridden, Extraordinary Machine.... I the list just goes fucking on. Lyrical genius like no other.
+zgorg mike oh you two love to Show off.I know her discography like the back of my hand and guess what ? This is still my favorite Fiona song.
Not trying to show off man, don't be so defensive? It's a great song, and you're entitled to have this as your favorite. I'm absolutely infatuated by her, don't have a personal favorite myself. Peace
Vayyy Türk
In addition to incredible talent, she possesses one of the most powerful voices in the world.
A sadly underrated song.
Yes.
Seriously...this song is a masterpiece
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung.
She said she doesn't perform it anymore, she says she can't go there now... It's so perfect, her first album, and her "When The Pawn..." ballads are by far her best, "Oh Well" from the 3rd album, is pretty incredible too, but 'not so much' a ballad as a melodic rage..
James Dickson sad indeed, because I consider it to be her most beautiful song
You have to listen to this album with closed eyes and feel it in your gut and your soul. It gives me chills. No need for music videos. They take away from the song. Fiona is a true artist.she paints a lyrical masterpiece with her voice. No visual needed.
Absolutely true
Absolutely, I'm in love and have been since my early 20's, my wife understands and I made it a point she must
She moves from placid to menacing to fearful from moment to moment, but when her smile bursts through around 1:20, it caps the range of emotional expression in this video. It's a beautiful song.
She is a genius. I remember listening to this so long ago.
I remember the very first time I heard this song. I was a very young child in the back of my mom's Camry and we were heading home from an eating at an Applebee's a few cities down because my cousin worked there and we were seeing her. I remember so vividly, peeling thin layers of fast-melting snow off the bottoms of my big, bulky, little-kid winter boots and watching it melt in my hand while admiring Fiona's voice and especially how she sounds at 1:00.. That was the truly mesmerizing part of it. Here I am, at least 9 years later, a junior in high school, listening to this and still constantly replaying that little bit at 1:00 about 5 times before letting it go all the way through the song
🩵
The genius of Fiona Apple.
My heart beats faster everytime she sings those high notes.... such a heavenly voice
The album is a masterpiece
She is so beautiful and so very talented. Yet, she exudes a aura of pain and sadness. She has a way of making sadness beautiful. I am sure she is a good thing, but I am not sure if beautiful sadness is.
Anorexia and the personality disorders that accompany it (which any reasonable, not to mention those with a keen eye, can recognize in Apple) are not beautiful in the way you or others may portray it/them. While these conditions represent and produce a deep emotional, cognitive, physical, and psychological experience they are not "beautiful" in the typical definition of that word. However, the experience(s) ARE unique and valuable. They are beyond painful. In fact, both reach the level of true suffering and should not be glamorized. I applaud Apple's music and expression only because she has found an avenue for HERSELF to make it in the world. I abhor the way she has cultivated a following of otherwise "healthy" individuals.
Art is the expression of self. So are you saying that art is unhealthy?
Her expression was tragic, and also triumphant. Be happy for her, and the thousand othear
Blues and Jazz artists who have done the same to great success. Or be silent
She wasn't anorexic to fit some mental idea of beauty. Her "anorexia and all the personality disorders that come with it" were a product of the trauma of being raped as an adolescent. She did it to make herself unattractive to men. And while she has indeed admitted to struggling with anorexia, not every thin fan of hers has an eating disorder. I remember I was in high school when she hit it big and I was immediately a huge fan of her incredible voice. I also happened to be 5'9" and scant 103lbs. I was constantly accused of being anorexic until people saw how much I ate, and then it was insisted I must be bulimic. Both of which were utter nonsense. I had an insanely high metabolism and couldn't get calories to stick to me no matter what I did. When people found out I also loved Fiona, they went berserk. I don't concern myself with people who don't bother with finding out the truth of things before passing judgment on me, so I was never hurt by it, but I couldn't believe how hard they tried to push that idea of me. Skinny girl + Fiona Apple fan = Absolutely has an eating disorder. How absurd can people be? If she does have a visible audience with eating disorders, she didn't make them that way. They do that to themselves for their own issues. Given the numbers of people with eating disorders, there are a lot of bands with ill fans, but those bands don't get blamed for it because they've never been attacked for having their own struggles with the illness like she has. You go looking hard enough you'll find what you're looking for. You want to see anorexic/bulimic fans, you'll see them. She has nothing to do with it, certainly not any more than any other media figure.
What a soul
💛
One of the best ballads ever
Fiona Apple
is a miracle
Fiona is a genius artist! This album took the world by storm! My favorite track on it. Lovely composition and raw and intimate lyrics! Fiona's music is therapeutic to the listener and such a release for the artist herself! Thanks Fiona...eternally loved and respected ❤❤❤.
This song is beauty incarnate . Brava to the lyricist.
Dirigo Corvus
Fiona is the lyricist,
13 years... 13 years and I feel the pain as it was made today.. Oh this song 💙
I’ve never had a song make me cry before. This is the only one. At times it hammers emotions that need hammering, or cleanses those that need to be cleansed. Pure.
Her words are still as relevant as ever to the soundtrack of my life. She's said everything I couldn't when I got divorced. And she saw me thru the beginning of a new love with beauty and grace. My beautiful deep poetic Fiona. You're so freaking talented. Still listening 2020 ❤ Are you?
Gemini Girl with you girl
Hi yesss, still listening to Fiona💗💗💗💗💗love her, so amazing!
She is one of the most honest artists I have ever had the pleasure to hear.
Beautiful, Old-soul, teenaged genius!!!
it's almost hard to believe she wrote this as a teenager, God gave her a GIFT
This gives me chills every single time.
I cannot even fathom that anyone could possible dislike this song, unimaginable.... So deep, so meaningful, so amazing. It makes me cry every time.
Oh my God, how I listened to this song as a kid. It was like someone singing my soul for the world. Someone who understood me. Love you, Fiona.
this woman has it whatever it maybe she can pull me out of any slump any hole I'm in she always puts a smile on my face she's got it and she'll never lose it
Thank you, Fiona, for sharing yourself with the world. I’m so grateful this song exists.
i’m the age fiona was when she wrote this song and i jsut feel all of her music so deeply i listen to every song she’s ever written on loop all day and it feels like she the only one who sees the world the same way i do
best song ever made
I had forgotten just how good Fiona was. This album is a masterpiece.
Col_in_Hellifax I've said the exactsame thing about 33 times over the last fewweeks..
One of my favorite songs all time. Never is a promise. It really is.
But as the scenery grows I see in different lights. The shades and shadows undulate in my
perception. My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights….
I remember listening to this song over and over on my portable CD player as a teenager and it soothed all of my teenager emotions.
God, she was so young here. Her voice too. People should not have so much power and wisdom so young
Fiona, your songwriting and your voice.....wow........AMAZING! been listening for over 20 years and still can't get over it.
"You said you understand, you'll never understand...I'll say I never wake up knowing how or why..." Lived those lyrics, Fiona. Thanks for keep me going all these years!
This album meant so much to me.
Same… It’s so great
first time hearing this Fiona Apple song...omg, I'm blown away by her yet again!
I first heard Fiona when I was 12. This song is my soul and much too beautiful for earth. The simplicity of this video is pure art and her lyrics are poetry. This is one of the most beautiful and relevant songs I've heard in all my 32 years alive. Her voice is so pure and she is one of few artists that brings me to tears and goosebumps, simultaneously. 💖 I'll never get over the 90's.
Gives me chills. Always has, and always will. Wish she got more recognition.
fighting depression since I have memory, just living on the shadows of neurodiversity that hurts me and lockes me inside a dark room. This is MY masterpiece of all times, and Fiona is my muse ♡
♥️
Who would give a thumbs down to this video? It's probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Fiona Apple is the BEST! Much love and appreciation for her voice, melodies, musicality, and the richness of her lyrics. She paints such vivid images with her music. This song changed my life. I heard it on my friend's CD player and headphones on a class field trip to the Kennedy Space Center in middle school. Opened me up to a whole new appreciation for music! #nostalgia #womancrush
Fiona is an amazing writer. This song is so true, pure, and beautiful. Very few singer song writers can touch the expression of the soul like she can. Nor do they get the recognition for it. However....Thats what maked them who they are and remain today.
This song just speaks to me on so many levels. I'm actually so floored right now that I'm speechless. Breath-taking.
I think about you everytime i hear this song and i remember the moment we met then get butterflies in my stomach, and even though you're gone, you are still here. i Miss You...So Much, Rest in Peace Cristina.
When this album came out, I bought the cassette ( cassette! ) and wore that thing out in one summer.
One of the most amazing albums ever made, and such an amazing song.
This song is so beautiful. Only now I have truly come to embrace it. Its subtle warmth. It makes me feel like my current deprived and stupidly desperate state isn't so lonely. Thank you Fiona. I thank you're very soul.
it makes me sad that she's so underrated.
+Lily B
Maybe that's a good thing. ;o)
Better for true artists to be underrated than be overrated like many artists are today in music.
Lily B some of the greatest artists through history were never appreciated during their lifetime. 😥
No matter. Quality over quantity, works every time.
I reckon 'unknown' is more accurate than 'under-rated'. And Fiona is in charge of how well-known she wants to be. Meaning 'not very'.
I decided this is one of the most beautiful things that I have ever heard in my life. If not the.
The end of 2019, and this is a favorite song still of mine,from when I heard it so many years ago. It means more to me now at 40, than at so young...
This song takes me back to a night in the late 90s...January....freezing cold, dark night in Iowa...I was anorexic and only drank liquids for nutrition....I was beyond depression...feeling like I'd never ever be happy...I listened to this album a lot... fiona has since admitted she had struggled with anorexia, herself...a lot of her pain comes from the same place as mine did...amazing how that was communicated through music....
This is one of the most beautfulest songs ive heard.❤
I love the late 90s Manhattan vibe 🥺
I still listen to Tidal all the way through all the time. And I never get bored of it. Truly a gift this Fiona.
What did I just watch?
I'm in love.
the ending key change gives me goosebumps every time 😮💨
This is absolutely poetry put to music, imo. I adore every second of it.
fiona apple is beauty with a power to captivate peoples attention. shes amazing
Never give up 🌅
One of the few artists that gives my soul goosebumps, the world is made better from her music.
She is simply amazing
I walk though my days with this song in my head... Grateful...
This song is pure beauty. I relate to it in a way -- where I feel like no one understands me. I've had a lot pain, and seen a lot of terrible things. Which makes my day to day life sometimes very hard -- even harder when the one you love (and legit loves you back) buts its like every time you get closer to someone with all your dark sides and pain that's buried there that someone says "I promise baby, I'll never leave you no matter what."/"I promise you won't give up on you even though you have that hard shell from hurting so bad" then the minute you let go and give yourself to them.... its too much. And as they say 'never say never'.
"You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'd never
Give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie"
Man.... Ouch.
it takes a real man and someone who has been through trials in his life to understand
Exactly exactly right
Rand Miller my god, u sound like how my friend is, but she's brutally dark. I'm always there 4her as often as possible. Tho she always appreciates this, shes a big ball of apathetic dark energetic void. She despises life & even nature, as she puts it as, "Ppl say nature's beautiful when it's actually a killer! Do u not comprehend the true, demonic meaning behind the chaotic Pi (3.14)?" She also has that, "we're dying bc we're living!" attitude that finds life pointless knowing we'll all pass 1day & sees hope as slavery! Yes, she a Friedrich Nietzsche fanatic!!! My concept tho is even tho she doesn't write poems & expresses herself like how Fiona does per se, she's basically the epitome of a very dark, Edgar Allan Poe poem series!!! :P and sadly, similar 2ur case, so many ppl don't c her4 who she truly is, & most ppl walk out on her, even after yrs of friendship. Her ptsd level is hard2 the core! She's a pessimist. She's bitter as hell. But she's beauty, even tho dark!!!
keith dustan a true person actually! Even family members!!
Rand Miller *i meant2 note, it's amazing how my friend & I r still friends bc she's learnt 2push ppl away herself bc how badly she's been left alone in the dark. Poor thing even defines humanity as "cancer" despite humanity's versatility & amazements. It's bc she's always picked up the true colors (intuition) of most ppl. I can also do the same, but how much deeper she does so & words things really gets me2 think. Same4 other ppl, but sadly most ppl (tho not all) prefer not2 think! It's sad. 😑
fiona is pure art, this song slaps so hard
This is one of the songs she said in an interview she doesn't play live anymore, she stated she doesn't know how to play it anymore. She listed 2 more songs she doesn't play live anymore, one of them being Johnathon, and the other being Hot Knife.
💔
she is amazing.....wow
💕
