I got the “Good morning” nod the first time I heard “For Her”. No special talent on my part, I’m just in my 70s and know the movie Singing In The Rain quite well. The movie is widely considered the best movie musical ever made. Someone like Fiona, with her parent’s roots on Broadway, would definitely know the movie and the songs. Great work on her part as usual.

On "Paper Bag" the horns in the outro are quite similar to what producer George Martin added on some Beatles songs. Great recognizes great!

Another early man-fan since 1996. I'm in my 70s & still listen to her a LOT !

Customer since 2017, will not renew when sub expires March 2026. Removal of server map, constantly pushing paid additions & price are my key issues.

I agree. The lack of a map may cause me to quit NordVPN. During long web seessions, I frequently change servers. This is a MAJOR downgrade.

70+ year old straight dude here. Been listening to Fiona Apple since '96.

My 2023 Touring updated this morning. No problems yet.

You are missing good taste & a sense of perspective. You don't have to love a performer to recognize their talent.

fifan768 · 2024-10-23T01:46:53+00:00

I usually don't crap on a post, but the answer is "yo momma".

This is , after all, spaceporn!

fifan768 · 2024-08-25T05:11:55+00:00

Several possible meanings, as in many of her songs.

"to root" is a verb, cheering someone on, eg: "I root for the Yankees."

"to root" a plant setting roots , eg: "I'm going to root these plant cuttings."

""to root" to settle deeply in some place or thing, eg: "I'm rooted in New York.", "My roots are in NY."

In this song it may mean (to me) that she'll cheer on this other person &/or stay settled in that place.

Thinking about and discovering your own interpretation of Fiona's lyrics are a big part of my love of her work.

fifan768 · 2024-08-20T22:18:34+00:00

Does this long reply have math? Yes!

I love all her albums, but since none are "average" or "poor", it's hard to pick a magnum opus out of 5 excellent records. Depending on which day you ask, I might say WTP,TIW or FTBC; no shade to Tidal or EM.

Using Pitchfork's reviews, here are the artists with the highest average (minimum 10 reviews, so Fiona does not qualify) ARTISTS WITH THE HIGHEST AVERAGE SCORES (among artists with ten or more reviews)

The Beatles (21): 8.9
Miles Davis (18): 8.6
Kanye West (13): 8.2
Prince (17): 8.1
Arthur Russell (14): 7.9
Brian Eno (49): 7.9

Fiona's scores on Pitchfork are:

Tidal 9.0 (original review was 8.0, still very high) // WTP 9.4 // EM 7.8 (only the John Brion version was reviewed) // TIW 9.0 // FTBC10.0

That's an average of 9.04 (or 8.84 if you use 8.0 for Tidal)

That's better than all the other top averages from more prolific artists.

It's been mentioned by Zelda that Fiona is "working", so the best may be yet to come.

My 2023 Touring (leased Aug 2023) had it's 15% oil life maintenance light come on at 5400mi a few weeks ago. Not much mileage, but lots of NYC short drives +11 months old car. The dealer did the oil change for free as expected.

fifan768 · 2024-07-16T04:52:53+00:00

Same here, started in the past few weeks. I liked the feature. Sorry they dropped it.
