Fiona Apple écrit ses paroles et compose sa musique. Elle a une voix très spéciale, grave et qui va tout à fait avec cette musique, principalement du piano. Ce mélange est tout à fait envoûtant. Ses mots sont souvent tristes et torturés, mais une véritable énergie ressort de sa musique. Son premier album 'Tidal' date de 1996 et reste celui que je préfère. Elle a sorti son second album en 1999 et il a un nom à rallonge, alors on dit simplement 'When the pawn" mais en réalité ça continue et ça donne ça, hihi : 

"When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king

what he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight

and he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring

there's no body to batter when your mind is your might

so when you go solo you hold your own hand

and remember that depth is the greatest of heights

and if you know where you stand then you know where to land

and if you fall it won't matter cuz you'll know that you're right"

 

 

~ Sullen Girl ~

Days like this, I don't know what to do with myself

All day -- and all night

I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath

I say to myself

I need fuel -- to take flight --

And there's too much going on

But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion


 Is that why they call me a sullen girl -- sullen girl

They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea

But he washed me shore and he took my pearl --

And left an empty shell of me

And there's too much going on

But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.

~ The first taste ~

I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black to replace my blue
I do not struggle in your web 

Because it was my aim to get caught
But daddy longlegs, Ifeel that

I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you

Give me the first taste,

Let it begin heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, juste start the chase - I'll let you win

But you must make the endeavor

Oh, our love give me a heart contusion
Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt borders intrusion
I'm building memories on things we have not said
Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love,

Not nearly my love, not nearly

 

Give me the first taste,

Let it begin heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, juste start the chase - I'll let you win

But you must make the endeavor
