Fiona answers your questions - part 2

[@Al-kb2xl]

I wish she would write an autobiography.. it would be brilliantly written and she’s had a fascinating life. I would love to know how she has coped with depression etc

[@mastersoftoday]

she recently said she will write a book when she's older! apparently it will also uncover some shitty industry secrets and call out some creeps too. really, really hope so

[@Mozes316]

If I had to guess, I would think her music is probably her biggest weapon against her depression... I only guess that because of how much of her soul she bares on her albums. And she does it sooooo God damn passionately... But again, just my opinion/guess. lol

[@chriscollins570]

Good perspective, Alice! She was a victim back in the day, but proved resilience over a long journey to rediscover herself and talents.

[@richardlopez2932]

Second that.

[@joshs8685]

I feel the saaaand... In my haaaand... She's writing lyrics when she's not even trying

[@crimsonscholar15]

Average Fiona casually speaking: Pinch me pinch me pinch me I'll pinch myself I can fell myself pinching myself I'll touch sand I'll dig my f*cking fingers into the sand And go: I can feel the sand in my hand It must be real It must be real I can f*cking feel it But it's not real

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

The more she talks, the more adorable she becomes.

[@danielk4155]

Exactly what I thought.

[@d3a1990]

Brilliant mind. Criminally underrated songwriter.

[@Hovsep]

i think i see what you did there

How right you are

[@augart89]

I´m currently going through a period in which I tend to feel quite blue, don´t really know why... Or maybe I do, it´s just that I don´t have the will to address the situation even. Seeing these recent videos, and watching Fiona so cheerful makes me really happy. Too many of my musical heroes are gone, and just to think of her, still hanging around there in the world, making music and so on gives me this... Replenishing feeling. Her music and her sole existence in this world are like some sort of balsam to my soul.

[@adampark9979]

Right? I'm feeling a little blue myself these days. I have my own things going on, but it's even shittier when Cornell goes and you think back..Pfaff, Nowell, Cobain, Hoon, Weiland, Staley, Houston...WOW. Talk about the Lost Generation. Anyway, if anyone gives you shit, let them know, in no uncertain terms, that a random youtube commenter has your back. ;)

[@IsiahTomas]

Seconding that.

[@alyaa1308]

Watching her i always get the feeling that most of the time she's doing what she wants to do and i would love to be like that too

[@melissam8444]

Thank you staying in the public eye a bit ❤ Can't wait to see another album and tour from my #1 favorite artist and inspiration.

[@lucyviviansousa3909]

Thank you from the buttom of my heart for written "Sullen Girl", that song helps me a lot when I feel lonely and hate being in my skin after being sexual abuse.

Fiona's music is/had LITERALLY always been the soundtrack to my life. Absolutely on the same wavelength.

[@unabashedlybroken6789]

Paper bag is by far my favorite song by Fiona. I feel it touch my soul. One of the best songs ever made. And lucid dreams are terrifying!

[@jessicatron]

That's interesting, especially the placement of the questions next to each other, of the dreams that keep insisting that they're reality and then the "row row row your boat...life is but a dream" (so I guess waking life insisting that it's a dream). I like this.

[@smallboy7934]

It’s good to see Fiona after all these years

[@felixpoventud3914]

Thank you fiona for saving my life! With your music!

[@MadMadamGrimm]

Every single night is such a good song! It sums up anxiety and fighting every night with it. I love her so much.

[@muvameg2589]

Your music has gotten me through every heartache for 20 years. The one person's magic I would love to see live.

[@jessinicole7998]

That was the best version of row row your boat I've ever heard. I would love to have a lullaby album from her.

[@FionaAppleRocks]

Like this one? www.nme.com/news/music/fiona-apple-new-track-i-cant-wait-to-meet-you-2299509

[@jessinicole7998]

Awesome thanks so much. I knew she did frosty the snowman (fav rendition) but not a lullaby.

[@BillHaines37]

She has described "Pale September" as sort of a lullaby. And this is also worth mentioning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIKxpmaFlryioqc

Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 I’ve been a huge fan for 21 years. I was in New York and came across your first album in a record store. I was drawn to it and I had never heard anything like your music and I never will. You are amazing and unique 💕💕💕

[@anonicesare5799]

I fell in love with your gifts in '96. I appreciated hearing Shadow Boxer then, especially, because it was a strange musical period - nationally; your writing and analysis of life, your brownness, all so great lol. So thank you for allowing me to buy your stuff over the years. You've been in every part of my life since I was 17. 😘

The thing about most dreams is they seem to make sense as you're in them but the moment you wake up you realize that nothing made sense. Kind of like this world

[@reggyreptinall9598]

You don't sleep to dream😀

[@user-qr2tf8vl4k]

Actually if you don't hit REM level you degenerate twice as fast. It's better to dream.

[@themaggattack]

@@user-qr2tf8vl4k It's just a reference to her song "Sleep To Dream."

[@debbiedrake1692]

Your answer to the second question fits with the first question. I think the dream state is just as real as our awake state.

[@10B10R]

I love her so much

[@Hang_TheDj]

OMG! That music thing happens to me toooooo!!!! I sing "tempted" by squeeze. Only that one particular song is able to get my brain straight again.

[@cassiebennett8573]

Not only do I love Fiona, I too lucid dream and I even have reoccurring dreams about being trapped and trying to call someone only to realize that I can’t. It makes it all the more scary!!

[@Al-kb2xl]

She’s so gorgeous for 40! No lines! I wonder if that’s her vegan diet

[@ocandro]

Vegan diet is pretty bad for the skin - a ton of sugar, little nutrition (protein, some elements like iron) a ton of inflammatory foods like soy, processed shit, grains). I'd say it's more good genes, money for good skincare and procedures, maybe she avoided sun and used spf.

[@alannahquinn426]

Ocandro: that’s a totally false statement about veganism - like with many things in life there’s a correct and not so correct way to do something. If you actually do any form of research you’ll find that it’s extremely easy to eat a plant based diet and be healthy. Ps: all the negative points you’ve just listed can also be made about the great and wonderful traditional western diet you’re obviously comparing veganism to. Dairy and meat have been linked to acne fyi. Fiona is beautiful because she lives a life of compassion and matches her diet to that.

[@XeniaAidonopoulou]

@@ocandro lol... you have no idea of what a healthy vegan diet is... clearly.....

[@KaylaMarie_]

@@ocandro Vegan diet fixed my skin. Now it sucks again because i went back to an unhealthy version of the ominivore diet.

[@Lynd8]

she hasn't had to work too hard

[@ssgoifvet]

The Row Your Boat is stapled in my head

[@apope06]

I disagree. I think Fiona is one of the greatest songwriters all time. Up there with Bowie and the Beatles. Certainly the greatest Indie Rock writer...if youd call her that.

[@susanbrow1]

I always tell my kids to pick up the red emergency phone if they're having a bad dream and call me. Pay attention to your dreams, they are symbolic.

[@gmawmum]

you're dreams are possibly yourself visiting yourself in a parallel universe. You are popping inside your own body, and your other self doesn't notice because it's you.

Hi Fiona! You are so lovely. The place you were in your dream state WAS real! :) Being awake on Earth isn't the only "reality" that exists.

[@tiffanysullivan2892]

I have lucid dreams too and when I try to use a phone no matter how much attention I pay I can't dial the right numbers.

[@endless3cho]

Yeah, your brain cannot keep numbers or letter in order no matter how hard you try. Try to pay attention to even something as simple as KFC in your dream and it won't ever show up. Obviously it makes sense since you'd have no idea what something READ unless it was real. Otherwise your mind is trying to populate your brain with things that are familiar. You might recognize your high school, it's buildings and the mascot, but you'll only remember that it was your high school and not that you saw the words anywhere. Apologies for my commentary if you're not interested. I'm disabled/bedridden so I spend time in my dreams trying to control the varying aspects of the dreams. For instance, I have the various superpowers and telepathy, but I can't close doors properly or read anything. You can recognize letters in your dreams, but they never form real words. Also, the letters constantly rearrange themselves as you attempt to make sense of what you're seeing. Lastly, I was paralyzed from the chest down when I was 16 and it has a strange effect on your more lucid dreams. For one, I can never dream of myself at an older age than 16 physically. I jump between walking and being stuck in my wheelchair all the time. I can feel things with my feet and my body that I haven't experienced since I was 16 (almost 41), but things I never experienced, I can never feel. Anyway, I've blabbed long enough. Lucid dreams are amazing and sometimes you wish you would never wake up.

[@jeffreywilliams3944]

When my lucid dreams started in 2009, it was after the housing bubble collapse. I had to short sell my house on the lake, retirement home and the work home in Orlando, FL, could not find a job and Obama. I went Back to College for 4 years spending my $70,000 401K, in an effort to be able to resume management accreditations in construction career. This was my 4th major negative event that occurred that was beyond any of my control of my life. I believe that this caused me have dreams that tried to resolve all the other 3 like negative events that occurred without being resolved between my mind, heart and body. My Take on it, love your music:)

[@striderstache99]

I hear music in my head, and have, non-stop since I was very little. 24/7. Snippets of different songs, harmonies on songs that don't exist, like riffing on songs in my head when I am trying to hear the song the way the artist intended. I would force myself to remember the song in my head in the correct pitch because the instant riffing was driving me mad. I've asked people around me, like hey, do you have music running through your head nonstop? They look at me like I am mad. Of course I am, I have a diagnosis, and, to some, that is part of that, "musical hallucinations" they've called it. However when I am medicated with certain anti-psychotics (even when I took a CBD gummy for the first time) the music stops and so do my thoughts. I have had music behind my thoughts my whole life so when the music in my head stops, I am lost. I have no ability to think like I used to. And so, while I take medication for my brain that I've been fighting every night since I was very little, I will not take meds that do that. My therapist once asked me, "do you want the music to stop?" I said, "nah". And I meant it. To hear that you have this kind of thing too makes me feel a bit less crazy lol. I discovered Fiona on college radio in 96 when I was in a group home outside of Philly. Sleep to Dream was the single. And I had had a boyfriend in 8th grade that broke up with me in the most brutal of ways, a tall awkward nerd like me with self-esteem issues, and him, a tall awkward guy with similar issues, the relationship resolved on a rejection of affection. It bothered me for years. And I am thinking about the boy during my senior year of high school and Sleep to Dream comes on. It was a watershed moment for me, and I have listened to her ever since.
