Fiona apple lyrics how can i deal with this

Like all of her other albums, there are quite a few songs that discuss her relationships with men. The minimalism in this song rests in the reliance on just her voice and a drum set. It seems most likely that she is referring to the root systems of these plants, but understanding their relevance to her mental state requires work from the listener.

This stuff comes out of feeling myself suppressing the urge to reach out to them and be friends. I have to express it somehow. This album is a lot of not letting men pit us against each other or keep us separate from each other so they can control the message.

I remember my grandmother used to talk about my grandfather and his mistress. And his mistress actually was his wife for the rest of his life. They were married for 50 years. But to her, she was always mad at this mistress. Our grandfather did it. Your husband cheated on you. She just fell in love with some guy.

Then they were together forever afterwards and had a family. I like fruit bats. The imagery of that one came to me years ago, because a boyfriend of mine was talking to me about his father and his depression.

Because strawberries are rhizomes, and so they grow in this network sideways, and peas and beans, they climb up, you can put them on trellises and stuff.

Then we rerecorded it for this album, and I put a bunch of different vocals on it. It just depends. She spent years protecting him from the knowledge of that, and in so doing, really hurt herself. And my hope is that maybe some women and men will be able to sing along with that line and allow it to tell the truth for them. And of course it brings up stuff of my own. It started out me wanting to write something about my own feelings, but it was just too hard. I wanted to make it about not just me but about other people.

And this woman really got to me. I spent so much time recording it in different ways until I realized that I needed to have a bunch of other women singing with me on it. Jonathan had broken up with me, and I think I was expecting everybody to break up with me. Because [the band and I] had this little argument and then they took some of their instruments away. I took it to mean everybody was mad at me. When I would walk home from school, there was a mirror when I walked in the door where we would hang our keys.

I would open up the front door and just sing whatever came to my mind. I often found that would reveal what I was really thinking to myself and it would start me creating things. Nothing changed in the lyrics from what I sang into the phone, which is why the lyrics are not very poetic.

Then we recorded it in one take. I was playing a chair, and we were all sitting in this one corner of my house. I really like how that song feels. It really was. If I found the voice-mail I sang it into, there would be absolutely no changes in the lyrics. I may have sent a voice-mail to the band right away.

This was my version of the Vipassana chant that I sang in jail. I sang it during the night just to calm myself down. When we were all in the waiting room, there was a camera and I was stupidly, defiantly, singing towards the camera.

To be at peace with this concept is to be happy. It usually means that I end up singing along, at least in my head.

Then when I was walking, I started doing that chant, but then … it just stopped meaning so much to me, and I started to make up my own little chant to tell myself what I believed about my life going forward. I do them because I enjoy doing them. I do them for the doing of them, not for the results.

That can happen in the long run, but for now I do things because I want to do them, because I like to do them. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Already a subscriber?
