Fiona Apple - Dull Tool

[@haunadirkse6021]

need this on spotify 10 years later

[@laetitiaballeroca6853]

No on Spotify . And no wonder why

[@adagiobreeze8493]

This woman deserves a Nobel Prize for her songwriting skills

[@H20b869]

Amen!

[@santiagopintosoto5066]

Real

[@frankpaws]

Jon Brion really had a lot to do with it. He really expanded her in ways beyond.

[@tiatialove]

Truth!

[@justinthehope8758]

Or possibly a manslaughter charge… I sure hope this dude deserved it

[@XrossWord]

This not being on Spotify makes me so sad

[@RokkerSE]

@Alex Where? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've been thinking this very same thought for years!

[@annerako]

@@RokkerSE It shows up in Spotify if you just look up the song title! It's on the This Is 40 soundtrack, so you can search that too.

[@sofiaoyola4789]

@Alex I just checked it isn't :((

[@monkiboi14]

I'm listening to it on spotify right now. Finally!

[@streamvlogsdailyy]

There are ways to get it on there, google’s your friend ;)

[@annerako]

"So tell that girl you don't love her / And if you do, tell her two times" Great life advice right there. Don't keep people around for convenience and don't take the ones you love for granted.

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

This song makes me wanna ride a bicycle angrily in traffic into some subdivision.

[@LHyoutube]

"I was in a fucking bike path!" 😂

[@zoemcloughlan798]

And possible get hit by some idiot opening their door blindly with the number plate "Range Rover"

[@auki919]

i was literally doing exactly that the first time i heard this song

[@davidarmillie4226]

Classically trained in a family of musicians; She broke tradition and made her own path! Unconditional love!!!

[@laetitiaballeroca6853]

Preciously said. Thank you ❤

[@traumatrom837]

The Violin in this song is sick!

[@ctwebacc]

Welcome to the Punch Brothers

[@Graham8276]

@@ctwebacc yes sir!

[@amgm1996]

this track deserved a official release, like a FTBC bonus track 😭 (its a movie track yes but its not even available for streaming)

[@Jennasphere]

This is my favorite Fiona Apple song hands down. The melody born out of this craft is purely transcendental.

[@davidarmillie4226]

That is a strong statement! I've been following her forever and I can't pick my favorite song but why did you pick this one??

[@jamespatrick74]

it should be on one of her albums, did the movie own the rights to it? she doesnt play it live much, if at all. but she has many, many raw, powerful tear jerkers just like this one. listen to the idler wheel.

[@sarabecks9002]

Mandolin, Violin... Oh my gosh I want a full album from her just like this! This is just amazing. I love Fiona

[@adrianhayes6175]

It's like an artistic charcuterie for the ears. Fortunately for us, we have an abundance of this level of craft in each of her albums, getting increasingly more complex and savory with each one.

[@jamespatrick74]

alas, you have the Idler Wheel

[@Aimlessartist]

Her songs are an experience. Such drama, pain, and passion!

[@crazygyal]

THIS SONG IS IN MY TOP 3 FIONA APPLE SONGS........SO GOOD

[@jamespatrick74]

dude. i cant pick a fiona top 20, let alone a top 3 lol. thats how good she is

[@henrydoesart158]

What are your other top 3? Just getting into her

[@crazygyal]

i haven’t listened to her in a bit BUT i’d totally recommend you listen to her albums in order of release cuz her newer albums are so much more different than her older ones…i have favorites off of every album so it would be hard to recommend 3 ^_^

[@henrydoesart158]

@ thank you!

[@crazygyal]

@@henrydoesart158 of course ^3^

[@jmantonya]

One of the few true artists of our generation

[@nathanhittle9457]

+Penny Larios I love Joanna! Definitely an acquired taste. :)

[@maryscheitler89]

jmantonya what generation is that? she's of my generation, born late '70's and early 80's. I listened to her in the 90's. She's definitely not new. She's been around about 20 years.

[@severnyaquarius]

Most of these celebrate celebrity instead of using the core for art.

[@MyShariAmour]

I'm obsessed with this song...I really wish I could add it to my iTunes library without dl'ing the whole "This is 40" soundtrack!!! I would go bananas on the treadmill listening to this!!

[@antagonistalana3586]

Shari H The soundtrack is a lot of Fiona

[@wascho]

just checking to see if you still remember this song :P

[@Appleholic1]

This girl is a genius

[@jamespatrick74]

shes criminally underarted

[@KawaiMonster]

Why did I love this song before I even heard it? Fiona Apple makes things like that possible. I just knew it would be AMAZING, and honey, it far exceeded my initial expectations. This woman is a genius.

[@rome8180]

All her albums are great. Every single one.

[@maggiwells5430]

PREACH.

[@koolkidz998]

Every single night...

[@cachecolazul]

​YA

[@Solthiel]

So absolutely correct. I was under the impression she could be one of those young female singer-songwriters who never evolved or grew up, but then Idler Wheel absolutely blew my mind.

[@jamespatrick74]

yep. valenetine, every single night, werewolf, anything we awant, johnathan. Same emotional depth as dull tool.

[@amberratewalter]

Fiona is a lyricist genius❤

[@nicolerodgers9469]

This women gives my life!!!

[@tonkali]

Lol, boy you sure missed that one. The phrase has nothing to do with wanting to be like someone. Perhaps you might try for a "clue"... google is good for that.

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

tonkali lmao shut his buzzkill ass down

[@shonenlad]

Beautifully brilliant. How could she not get an award for this song?. People suck.

[@henrikibsen6258]

You know a next-level artist when you hear one.

[@cristinagonzalez4769]

Jo Thomas exact0!

[@czfuchs]

I hadn't listened o this song. I just heard it a week ago and find it amusing. I can definitely see how we went from The Idler wheel to Fetch the Bolt Cutters with this song. Fiona is really such unique and impressive artist.

[@Dee33300]

How haven't I heard thing song until now? Fiona is otherworldly. 😍

[@EntretenidosNY]

A Masterpice... underrated song.. and singer..

[@jamespatrick74]

sadly, alot still label her as a one hit wonder from the 90s.

[@susanjervis3384]

She holds out her hand and grabs me by my soul! In a perfect world, she would release a new song each day. Love this one

[@marlenetrevino1216]

Who else heard this on this is 40

[@MzChelxoxo]

She made this song for This is 40.

[@traymaqq]

Lol I just watched it and was thinking "who the hell made this song??"

[@floryan9376]

Tray Sanders same here, great!

[@maryscheitler89]

Marlene Diaz I'm sorry it took you so long to appreciate Fiona's genius. I feel bad for you, I've been listening for 20 years plus. Well, at least you have her now.

[@V0lk]

Everybody?

[@samjunipero]

this is my first time hearing this song… wow wow wow… fiona is so ridiculously talented. i love this!

Sadly true

W comment

Yo wat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Fiona_Apple

[@marykcitrus]

the beat is so vicious and fast and her voice is quieter and tries to keep up with it- I just love it

[@Zodemus]

Such a genius metaphor. When you force something you’re liable to get hurt. Fiona is a one of a kind.

[@katayfa]

she is a wordsmith motherfuckin lyrical genius an amazingly riveting performer an exquisitely breathtaking beauty. Her voice just penetrates deep into my soul and vibrates lusciously, we must be soul mates.Most of all shes just a down to earth genuine lovely and enlightened being. All haters go watch your fake plastic stars leave the true artists who truly give everything the fuck alone. No one here wants to here your dribble.Jealous fuckin haters

Have always loved Fiona's music!! Can't wait to see what she does next!! With each new CD she releases she gets better and better!!

[@sorcerer1975]

agreed !

[@iloveurgirl]

CDs?

[@ziyedhamrouni886]

I question myself how many year this is ahead of our times

[@Charlottelottette]

although i dont think future generations will ever have the ability to get to enjoy non mainstream music as we do... Even my friends Kanye's musical quality is greater than the rocker's of the past century...

[@ziyedhamrouni886]

even her photos are mesmerizing.. I'll never forget those pictures lol

[@adamw116]

I hope your referring to another Kanye besides West? I mean the past century! Also streaming will probably be the only way to hear various kinds of music! I doubt at least one or two outlets will be available to hear something more alternative. I don't know if I could live in a world with just bubblegum! Wait, no, theres no fucking way I could! I think Vinyl's resurgence will be a long one and people will use that format for listening to classic music and possibly alternative specifically!

[@MadLikeDog]

Well it's a year now and she still hasn't missed a beat in honest performance

[@adamw116]

All I do know is that there will always be a certain amount of the population that will want to hear music outside of the mainstream even if the availability is very limited! New Indie acts pop up all the time!

[@DeclanBurger]

Fiona has such an amazing voice and the Violin and piano is this is awesome

[@drdrew8569]

this woman does not need opinion from anyone unless, I'm sure, they mean anything to her. so your negative comments have no effect here.... ah, doesn't that just frustrate you. Not me! This woman is an inspiration... that is all.

[@corymartin3018]

The mandolin and violin on this track are incredible, but dont sleep on the drums. Just wow, kick me in the head!

[@danielapenaloza8628]

sooooo good! i wish this was included in idler wheel...

[@vels619]

Really great song, one of her best songs in my opinion. They should've shot a video for it!

[@macassiu]

vels619 They did. It is called This is 40.

[@NaLa1490]

This is a perfect song for a movie. It's about an issue people rarely talk about these days: disappointment in relationships. Love it.

[@cachecolazul]

It was made for a movie

[@nicolettekemerer8452]

Why is this the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life

[@beneatspizza2380]

I want a song where the melody is throughout the song of where she is singing your “more likely to get cut by a dull tool”, her voice and the instruments are dark, I love it

[@jasonmischel8165]

Her single best song. And one of my favorite songs ever released or recorded. Perfect.

[@mosesnjuguna3516]

I love the metaphor. I also think that she uses “cut” instead of stabbed or wounded because it closely relates to being “cut out” which I presume is what the protagonist would do in this situation: cut the person out of their life. Fiona is such a brilliant lyricist!

[@dermotfont-wk8gm]

Still listening Fiona Apple and its really great 2024!

[@tuffstuff2U]

I love her metaphors ♥️.

[@isarocks247]

Come on out, come on out, Where'd you go, where'd you go? I don't mean to play here Figure out, figure out What you know, what you know Figure out how to say it clear Cause you're more likely to get cut with a dull tool, than a sharp one You, you stuck around, You stuck around, You stuck around, Until you got me Then, then you dropped me You, you don't kiss when you kiss You don't f*ck when you f*ck You don't say what you mean You don't talk loud enough No pulse in your impulse Celebration's impossible You forgot the difference Between equanimity and passivity You forgot you have to try You have to try, you have to try You forgot that glorious feeling That you get when you get the truth So tell that girl you don't love her And if you do, tell her two times Cause you're more likely to get cut with a dull tool, than a sharp one You, you don't kiss when you kiss You don't f*ck when you f*ck You don't say what you mean You don't talk loud enough No pulse in your impulse Celebration's impossible You, you don't kiss when you kiss You don't f*ck when you f*ck You don't say what you mean You don't talk loud enough No pulse in your impulse Celebration's impossible You, you don't kiss when you kiss You don't f*ck when you f*ck You don't say what you mean You don't talk loud enough No pulse in your impulse Celebration's impossible when You don't kiss when you kiss You don't f*ck when you f*ck You don't say what you mean You don't talk loud enough No pulse in your impulse Celebration's impossible Celebration's impossible Celebration's impossible Celebration's impossible

[@tkharpene]

I really hope she wins the Grammy for Best Alternative Album (so deserved)! :)

[@seankerr2394]

She's really quite wonderful. Part if me wishes she got more Recognition for what she's capable of, but apparently she's doing well enough since she is still making music. If I were a woman, I'd hope to be Fiona.

[@jackierene583]

Another favorite song! To be Fiona? I've found expressing yourself falls on deaf ears usually (none so deaf as those who will not hear). I'd like to be considered a sharp tool, if you get hurt you didn't handle it right.

[@cypressz]

***** Pot is about the same as booze or ciggs. Might as well not want to be just about any celeb since a fair amount of them do one or the other. Nah, the real concern is her anorexia. Look at recent photos. She still hasn't quite beaten that.

[@jackierene583]

fucking awesome music just listen, could you write this? Are you perfect?

[@antagonistalana3586]

2024! haha!

[@MrInterestingthings]

Most of her songs are in 6/8 , then change to 2/4 or common . Yet very common chord changes but her vocal line is full of surprises and the breakup of syllables is witty but generally she finds the words for the rhythm she wants . A really real honest to life's issues ! Good title .

[@keku794]

Her words relate and impact so many.. If only she had knows her influence

[@valvara123]

what a poet, dear lordddd

[@pope1982]

This song- the music is the emotional release of being frustrated and a little insecure while in love with a "dull tool". Those moments when you feel all hope is lost because they lie, with hold, withdraw etc and just laying it all on the line. Basically calling them out.

[@pavlovsdaughterx3]

fiona continuously produces innovative and original sounds, album after album. so much love for her artistry
