She's Back (Meaning Me and Fiona)!
Hey!
So the hiatus was longer than I expected, but I'm trying to adjust to the real world. Scary stuff, but it's working out really well. NYC is my favorite place ever, so it's good to be back.
I got a new computer (iBook, what what) and all of my mp3s are on my old computer which is at my parents' house in Ohio, so my iPod hasn't been updated in awhile. The last time I put new songs onto it was April, so that's the time frame of stuff I've been listening to. Which brings me to Fiona...I know she was all over the place when her songs leaked onto the internet, and everyone and their mother was talking about her. And now I'm talking about her. I loved the songs when I first heard them, and was all about it. Then I got distracted and kind of forgot about her album and the controversy surrounding it. But lately, I've been listening to her again nonstop, especially Oh Well
Though many of the songs are more melodic than some of her old tunes, it's the lyrics that kill me. I'm assuming it deals with her breakup with Paul Thomas Anderson, though that could be completely wrong.
"What you did to me made me see myself something awful
A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidden."
Who else would use the word "stentorian"?
Also, Regnyouth has a link to the whole album.
So what's the deal with the album? Fiona Apple.org says that originally, the story was that Sony didn't think it was marketable, so they shelved it. But now, it seems that maybe Fiona was unhappy with the production. So they may be re-doing it as a second third album. Regardless of whether Fiona is a victim or not, I'm still a fan of this .
Another thing I have always remembered about Fiona is from an article in Seventeen magazine from when Tidal first came out. She said in an interview that she used to rollerskate around her dining room table when she was 13 listening to one of her favorite songs, Like a Rolling Stone which is also one of my favorite songs.
