Whew, did she ever. Every single album somehow framed perfectly the era my life was in. I know people always say that this or that artist or song is "their jam"... But often we do mental gymnastics to make it fit US because we love it and want it to sooo bad. Fiona, however. FIONA. It uncanny, how shes nailed every big epoch in my life.
I understand why people dislike the interviewer but.. i loved this. I hate when the interviewer talks over someone or makes innecesary jokes. I loved that I could hear Fiona.
What I have learnt from Fiona is to give time to a creative process and that gives such a big relief. I remember when she sings about doing nothing and how she thinks that is not wasting time... That is so beautiful... We need that time and she is giving that to us through her songs. Thanks Fiona for that.
[a few comments deleted, I know Sacha doesn't exactly come across as a barrel of laughs here - he looks low key depressed to me, but theres no reason to pile on with such hateful comments]
At least he let Fiona answer to everything as she wanted to. No absurd comments, no bad jokes... Fiona was the artist here, not the interviewer. She could express free and openly. Interesting interview.
He is a knowledgeable music writer and his robotic style has strangeness and charm. One can become aggravated at too-easily-applied bonhomie (well I can).
Yes, to his credit, the main thing is he stays out of your way, doesn't step on your words, and gives your thoughts room to breathe. The end result is a revealing interview and that's all that counts.
I love what she said at the end about singing in the mirror after walking home with a rhythm in her head. Reminds me of her newest album "I used to walk down the streets on my way to school grinding my teeth to a rhythm invisible..."
Whether she likes it or not, this woman is my conscience. There are times I hate myself because I know FA would be disappointed in me. I'm so thankful for being alive to experience her. Without a doubt she makes me a better person
She's complex and sensitive and raw, and real. She's about the most real person I can imagine. Her past had such tragedy I can't look at her without remembering it, and I wonder in her heart of hearts how she ever dealt with it, put it away and went on. I wish I could talk to her for just a few hours person to person. because she's more in touch with the creative process than most musicians will ever be because it's part of her. I guess YT vids like this are the closest I'll ever get to that.
She is so beautifully bashfully confident. The honesty she has with her emotional self is something I strive to emulate. It's as if she has direct lines from her heart to her integrity, honesty, love, rage, compassion, uncertainty, confidence and unabashed truth which in turn have lines directly to her voice. If I imagined talent, creative thought and inspired wordplay as a fey creature running barefoot in the woods smiling shyly but looking through you with an intense all-knowing gaze then it would be Fiona Apple.
Please, give this guy a break. He' s trying to give her enough room so she can answer honestly and yet move the interview along so his producers have something to work with. Fiona's so honest and intelligent- so thoughtful he's trying not to step on her toes or put words into her mouth, which is impossible, of course, but he's still gleaming where she's going with her answers. It's much easier to interview a fake famous person than someone as unpretentious as she is.
One of the greatest writers of my generation. Period. Her words and music have helped me through my entire life. I respect her hard work, pure heart, courage, and genuine talent.
i could listen to her talking about anything for hours and never get bored. shes such a mysterious person to me and at the same time one of the most important role model in my life. love the way she expresses herself
Beautiful essence. I know I would have mentally broke if not for Fiona's music. I've survived a serial rapist, 2 domestic violence relationships, and being molested as a child. I write my own songs and heal with them just like she does. Fiona has been a rock for so many woman, and I wish her all the best in life. I pray she can be strong enough to share her perspectives on these crazy times we're all living in. I completely understand if she's just too turned off by all this social media stuff. Love you always Fiona, what content there is of you here, is satisfying enough.
Sacha Frere-Jones is a writer and music critic of the first order. If you can cope with his extreme deadpan - the grassy knoll gag - you'll notice the questions were intelligent, he'd done his background and he created a space where she was free to speak. If you're interested in what an artist has to say this is way more informative than anything you'll get out of the talk shows.
You people are nuts. The interviewer did great about asking probing questions. If he didn’t ask those questions I would be confused because I wasn’t sure what she was talking about
What’s the gripe with the interviewer? Have you ever watched the actual Charlie Rose? He asks the world’s longest questions. This guy let’s Fiona talk.
I thought this was a good interview. I got to really listen to you, and that's one of my favorite things to do. Someday, I'd love to write a song with you.
Every guy on here wants to marry Fiona....actually hell every woman on here probably does too...and you can't blame them. She's smart, sexy but most of all her music and voice puts her in same categories as the greats of her generation...actually she's right there along with Cobain...she just hit the scene in that weird spot right after his death and right before N Sync and Backstreet. Her music was never the most commercial. Its almost like she was born a decade too late or a decade too early but she's hit her stride now and we are proud!
The people moaning about the interviewer here have obviously been entertained to death by all the "entertainment" interviewers and the mindless, meaningless entertainment bla bla blaaah, and are now shocked to see an actual professional, LISTENING interviewer doing their job.
They watch ET religiously. And stand outside the musicians window when given a chance. They want to know if they are divorced, married, have perfect children, their plastic surgery, their sex life, what they drink and eat and when, etc.....and then shout it to the top of the mountain that they "heard it first". Lol. Heard what first ....I always ask ....ya know that so and so ...had sex with so and so and he said a swear word and wears green pants ...blah blah .. Gosh. Lame. Reality shows with actors and musicians. Lame. Popular. But lame. Let the music play. Listen. And relax. I literally want to know nothing about their hygiene. I do like hearing their philosophy and ideas about the music they sing. That makes sense to me. But even then. It's ok for me just to play the music...and not even know the band members or where they are from etc.
sucks that the dude interuppted her (then apologized but then didn't let her finish ??? wtf) but he was actually great and i loved this compared to other interviews like jimmy kimmel
I still prefer the Brion tracks. Elizondo stuff just sounds neutered....especially the vocal takes. But anyway....I don't think Sacha is a bad interviewer, he's just a lil surly and keeps to his own pace.
Where'd they get this cut and dry monotone dude from . Geesh . Painful . Fiona we know it ain't easy having to get out dare dare and do da sell. She doesn't go for beautifully shaped lyrics often but really individual angular lines in 6/8 . Noone writes a radio hit that veers off and out in 6/8 like a Bayou Prairie song . She must be from Louisiana or something . Noone since Portishead, Phoebe Bridgers ,Florence&TheMachine and that truly neurotic lady on 4 AD AldousHarding who is perfect !
It's not his fault his will to live lamp is flashing before his own eyes but he has an interview to do. Two deep artists in a conversation with each other is damn near like juggling nitroglycerine on camera lol

yea honestly tho

Same
she's literally just Fiona Apple
She helps save many lives. 💚
I understand why people dislike the interviewer but.. i loved this. I hate when the interviewer talks over someone or makes innecesary jokes. I loved that I could hear Fiona.
Fiona is the epitome of a strong spirit with a soft soul.
I am Inupiat Native Alaskan from Utqiagvik and her soul and spirit remind me of my people.

In his defense, the interviewing does get better about halfway through.
At least he let Fiona answer to everything as she wanted to. No absurd comments, no bad jokes... Fiona was the artist here, not the interviewer. She could express free and openly. Interesting interview.
He is a knowledgeable music writer and his robotic style has strangeness and charm. One can become aggravated at too-easily-applied bonhomie (well I can).
I think that this man has written some demeaning things about Fiona and her work. It was a very chilly interview.

Fiona has this face that is so attractive and she has a passion for whatever she is involved in and she gives it her all. She's a powerful person.
beautiful in every way.
I don't understand the hate for the interviewer. His questions are succinct and straight to the point and he lets her talk. Great job.
just jarringly flat affect
She's complex and sensitive and raw, and real. She's about the most real person I can imagine. Her past had such tragedy I can't look at her without remembering it, and I wonder in her heart of hearts how she ever dealt with it, put it away and went on.

I guess YT vids like this are the closest I'll ever get to that.
I was obsessed with When the Pawn and have the deepest admiration for her and all her work. She's amazing.
What a wonderful, revealing interview about FA's creative process.
I need more interviews like this. Feels like I'm in the room, relaxed.
She is so beautifully bashfully confident. The honesty she has with her emotional self is something I strive to emulate. It's as if she has direct lines from her heart to her integrity, honesty, love, rage, compassion, uncertainty, confidence and unabashed truth which in turn have lines directly to her voice.

you meant "GLEANING" i think
I think he is a respectful, intelligent interviewer. He seems quite sharp…
@@matthewomalley6834 I'll second that.
A machine should not have any say in how an artist makes their art. That's how we got to the sad top 40 music of today.
Best comment! Nailed it!
Super intense interview. I’m hooked. Fiona is so gripping. Then BOOM. “THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE” hit me like a bag of bricks 🥴
The interview was obviously edited down to fit the time slot for this program. The interviewer didn't abruptly end it.
One of the greatest writers of my generation. Period. Her words and music have helped me through my entire life.
I respect her hard work, pure heart, courage, and genuine talent.
She is lovely!
She is her songs : ) so nice to see this
Thank you

What a beautiful person all round.
A true songwriter ..
She is a gem.
There’s something about her that favors Angelina Jolie, I adore both and definitely respect Fiona as an artist and songwriter, she’s top tier.
This guy’s not so bad. His “little videos” comment was nice. Don’t be such RUclips commenters, guys.
Good one her for standing up to Sony.

Right!
I enjoy the deadpan, lets the artist express themselves instead of reacting to them
He is a good writer as well.
Beautiful woman with a beautiful soul.
Fiona survived this interrogation, good for her! 🖤
'I'm sitting in for Charlie Rose who is recovering from heart surgery' - pfft, some people will use any reason to get out of showing up for work.
Brilliant music - and such a soulful voice! Just beautiful. By the way gang... take it easy on the interviewer. We all have our roles to play, right?
Sacha Frere-Jones' band, Ui, were a masterfully righteous outfit.
If you don't know them, have a try!
:-)
She has aged like a fine wine
This was back in 2006
@@maree6250 it still applies today
the interviewer filled in for someone and Fiona was most humble out it.
I bet he was just nervous to look at a pretty face cause he smiled like a kid at the end, but I loved the interview. Props to the interviewer.
Fiona great interview, I don't think you need to explain to others, your songs say it all, Gordon
Fiona. 💙
Every single track on her first few albums is great. Amazing batting average.
Fiona Apple is Billie Holiday, reborn in this century
…thank you for joining us. All right guys, let’s go find that mirror.
You people are nuts. The interviewer did great about asking probing questions. If he didn’t ask those questions I would be confused because I wasn’t sure what she was talking about
That interviewer is something else.
This guy is the wuuuuurrrrsssstttt
I think this is a great interview not understanding the issues in the comments
What’s the gripe with the interviewer? Have you ever watched the actual Charlie Rose? He asks the world’s longest questions. This guy let’s Fiona talk.
I thought this was a good interview. I got to really listen to you, and that's one of my favorite things to do. Someday, I'd love to write a song with you.
Shameika said she had potential.
For me she has always drawn a parallel with Tori Amos
what an abrupt ending!
Her dad is cool too
I ❤ Fiona.
The Janis joplin of generation x... that is all❤

he's an introvert and a serious person, too. He shows no signs of predation, here.
Oh, every man is a sexual predator to a millennial. Just ignore them.

@@randymulder9105 agree 100%
No. Charlie Rose is a professional interviewer and he's great at it. This guy is just emotionless.
I dig your description of ur process at 10:11. Im gonna try that
💚🤟🦄
sucks that the dude interuppted her (then apologized but then didn't let her finish ??? wtf) but he was actually great and i loved this compared to other interviews like jimmy kimmel
I still prefer the Brion tracks. Elizondo stuff just sounds neutered....especially the vocal takes. But anyway....I don't think Sacha is a bad interviewer, he's just a lil surly and keeps to his own pace.
nice
VERY SERIOUS guy.. 😂
Good.
She is god
I hate that he interrupts her.
This interviewer has as much personality as wood chip wallpaper
I just love her like a carnivore loves raw meat. She is raw meat. Rare.
You need to work on your analogies.
Fiona CSC 🦄🎀🌎🦁
What an odd, abrupt end to an otherwise intriguing beginning for what could have been an actual interview!
I went to Journalism school just at the hope to one day interview Fiona then ask her if we could be roommates.
woah way to shut down the interview, she was totally feeling like talking
Awwwwwwwwww
She didn’t get to meet Charlie?
Fiona Apple = Mazzy Star
Sasha, you have a question you are dying to ask but you do not. I am so curious as to what it is…
Is Sacha the son of that guy from Dragnet?
Who is the robot doing the interview?
thank fuck charlie rose couldn't make it honestly
Why is the interviewer so sad?
Where'd they get this cut and dry monotone dude from . Geesh . Painful . Fiona we know it ain't easy having to get out dare dare and do da sell. She doesn't go for beautifully shaped lyrics often but really individual angular lines in 6/8 . Noone writes a radio hit that veers off and out in 6/8 like a Bayou Prairie song .

the worst interviewer in history
He's not exactly a barrel of laughs. Looks as if he may be suffering from haemmeroid trouble.
It's not his fault his will to live lamp is flashing before his own eyes but he has an interview to do. Two deep artists in a conversation with each other is damn near like juggling nitroglycerine on camera lol
Who’d a thought that Fiona was paying attention to that horror of a show. Thank
you, ma’am, and no. I ain’t gonna.
Omg this interviewer is so stoic and cold. Love Fiona and her wonderful music. She needs a better interviewer though.
Omg stop interrupting her
