Fiona Apple - Not About Love (Official HD Video)

[@Uvvibes]

The concept of the video “him reading what she wrote about him and their relationship “ and mocking her and being upset even though knowing it’s her truth is so brilliant and gives a whole other level to the song. Bravo 👏 how music videos should be

[@duncanlaing6078]

I thought it was about a drug fueled toxic relationship. The letter was the breaking point. I guess you'd have to be there.

[@WorldGoods]

I ain't sure that's it, I always thought it was about they had bills to pay and he didn't want to adknowledge it

[@YourRealBestFriend]

I did that to my, now ex, once. She didn't mock me, but did give me notes. They were good notes, but it didn't help.

[@melo8992]

This song is incredible.

[@tefiiii143]

I miss this kind of music videos where there’s a plot to a story.

[@dancefloorman]

Criminally underrated. One of the most brilliantly crafted songs in her entire catalogue.

[@nunyabusinessllc]

Everyone says she’s underrated, but she’s a Grammy winner. I hear you tho

[@SarahBradsby]

As an artist she's always been criminally underrated. Probably because she doesn't fit into a neat and tidy label and sellable product. Loved her since Tidal.

[@jpcolindesign517]

Fiona Apple is my favorite songwriter ever. I am 62 Y.O. and have seen a lot of songwriters. Her songs are unique and the lyrics are the best I've ever heard. Thanks for making the world a better place with your music, Fiona.

[@matildaramsey8852]

i am 18 and i couldnt agree more, love her ability to speak to women so powerfully

[@trinalyn4453]

I have always loved the chemistry these two have in this video. To see Fiona Apple so fun and comfortable around someone like this is such a treat.

[@T1J]

i really think this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded

[@popcornisfromcorn]

[@Luna_Christine]

xeshtaed when this came out he was still pretty unknown outside of California... but know it seems as though the tables have turned, he's known, she's nearly forgotten... very sad

[@liteflightify]

Eh, Fiona hasn't been a pop star since the late 90s. This came out in 06. She's still one of the most industry respected, influential artists. She's hardly "unknown" unless we're talking about with teens.

[@ManinManchester]

Unfortunately, I think he's right. Whenever I mention Fiona in the UK, even to 30+s with a good musical knowledge I often get a blank look, which is shocking. But one album every seven years and virtually zero touring (especially outside of the U.S.) aren't going to keep you in the public eye. I doubt Fiona cares, but it's a shame all the same. Her work demands much wider recognition but you have to 'work' for it.

[@adamw116]

ManinManchester Is that what the UK has become? A bunch of pop obsessed douche nozzles who have had icons or incredible musicians of past generations virtually forgotten in place of low brow copycat Top 40 turds?

That's what he said When I was sitting up straight Changed the name of the game 'cause he lost it He knew he was wrong But he knew it too late But I'm not being fair 'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth But I'd like to choose right Take all the things that I said that he stole Put 'em in a sack, swing 'em over my shoulder Turn on my heels, step out of his sight Try to live in a lovelier light This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact, I can't stop falling out This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact, I can't stop falling out I miss that stupid ache
