So be it, I'm your crowbar If that's what I am so far Until you get out of this mess And I will pretend That I don't know of your sins Until you are ready to confess But all the time, all the time I'll know, I'll know And you can use my skin To bury secrets in And I will settle you down And at my own suggestion I will ask no questions While I do my thing in the background But all the time, all the time I'll know, I'll know Baby I can't help you out While she is still around So for the time being, I'm being patient And amidst this bitterness If you'll just consider this Even if it don't make sense all the time Give it time And when the crowd becomes your burden And you've early closed your curtain I'll wait by the backstage door While you try to find The lines to speak your mind And pry it open, hoping for an encore And if it gets too late, for me to wait For you to find you love me, and tell me so It's okay, don't need to say it.

Andrew van Baal, the co-director of Largo the movie recently uploaded a copy of this here ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXLOm39qoZt2n8k ) if you look very closely you might notice some tiny differences, the copy I had, which I think was from Vimeo, took some wrangling to get the audio and video to sync exactly.

[@crankystinkleton4284]

Most musicians and singers distance themselves emotionally from their material for the purpose of performance. Fiona Apple is one of the few who doesn't. I don't know how she manages it, and it must be exhausting, but I for one am thankful for the honesty of her delivery, every time. End up in damn tears every time though. Needed it though. Thanks.

[@ausgepicht]

In '96 when Tidal came out along with the story how it all came about I was blown away. I thought to myself "This girl is a prodigy." As a musician myself I genuinely appreciated the artistry she wove in her songs and the poetry of her lyrics. On top of maintaining musical integrity she wrote songs that were catchy and appealed to the heart and common man or woman. I wasn't sure it Tidal was a one off or not, and was concerned that the industry would likely ruin her anyway, but when "When the Pawn..." came out and I was blown away I realized that "Tidal" wasn't a one-off and she was a rock that wasn't budging when it came to writing garbage products the industry wants you to write and what she wanted to write. Then as the other albums came out and she progressed and evolved musically and wrote with the same integrity and honesty I realized that we have a musical genius on our hands and how blessed we are to have someone like her in a day and age when most musicians can't read music (hip-hop and pop come to mind), buy a song from an unknown songwriter or sample music that isn't their own because they can't actually write, and throw in some dancing and a video and voila: you have a "musician." Fiona is up there in terms of musical genius with the Mozarts, Beethovens, Hendrixes, Led Zepplins, Pink Floyds, Ella Fitzgeralds, Etta James, Beatles, etc. It shocks me when I talk to my friends about her and they aren't familiar with much.

When the crowd becomes your burden and you nearly close your curtain, I ll wait by the backstage door... Ohh I love this song so much, never get tired of it. Thanks dear Fiona

[@user5362]

I'm just going to say it. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. From the lyrics (poetry) to the song writing to the vocals. If you love this song do yourself a favour and look up Elvis Costello singing it (this song) in front of Fiona. He said the song struck him. Quentin Tarantino is enamored with her. Dave Navarro wrote her name in his own blood on her dressing room wall. She doesn't get the mainstream recognition she deserves but she's the type of talent that other talent looks up to.

[@adamblackman6660]

I’m a grown man, and I would have 100% cried at that show. She is so raw it reminds me how to feel

[@sodablower]

In another era, this would've been a smash hit for a Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin etc. Has that classic quality.

[@carolmikofsky4976]

I saw someone say "this is feeling" and it got me thinking about the similarities between Fiona and Jeff Buckley. Fiona channels this powerful emotion in her music and it's absolutely breathtaking. Similarly, Jeff Buckley channels spirituality. It's the same effect of feeling, same effect of songwriting, great vocals and I will never grow bored of either of them.

[@soakedbearrd]

For people who say music of different era was better, I can only say that music today still has quality if you know where to look. It is unfortunate that Fiona does not get the commercial success she deserves. This song is one of her best, and she's got a lot of other amazing music as well.

[@stskotty]

dyla zimm I know exactly what you mean. It isn't easy having Fiona Apple as your favorite artist, as we only get albums once per decade or so with a song here or there... But what is released is so spectacular and special that it's enough to tide us over. Besides I'd rather have 1 of her masterpieces every 7 or 8 years than a half assed record that has been violated by the label every year. I listen to something of hers every single day. I feel that those of us who have the privilege of "getting" her words and phrases and allowing them to move us in a way that only true Fiona super fans know is a gift that I wouldn't give up for anything.
