Lyrics:
Once my lover
Now my friend
What a cruel thing
To pretend
What a cunning way
To condescend
Once my lover and
Now my friend
Oh, you creep up
Like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let
Your love abound
And you bring me
To my knees
Oh, it's evil, babe
The way you let
Your grace enrapture me
When will you know
I'd be insane
To ever let that
Dirty game recapture me

She was ahead of her time, especially during the mtv music academy awards in 1997. She's right when she said the world was bull shit in her speech when she was getting the award. The crowd boooed but she was right all along.

[@dionmcgee5610]

She usually is. A very intelligent human being with little or no ability to B.S. Did her own thing then, still does today with a new album out, even. If people don't like her because she's too dark, then what kind of boring crap are they listening to? She's right after Tori Amos. Right before the Beatles & Black Sabbath section.

Miss Apple, I am not expecting you to ever read this comment but I write it anyway. I have been listening to you since I was 17 years old and I am now 39. Shadow boxer was the first song I heard by you and it really made an impression. Your music has seen me through a ten year battle with drug addiction and the loss of a child....sullen girl was my song for many years. And now that I am clean I still love your music and I still love you. I know you have your own demons that you battle....You wear your heart on your sleeve. I just wanted to let you know what your music has meant to me over the years and to say thank you, Fiona Apple for keeping it real and giving it class.

[@pokearue]

Fiona Apple was 16/17 years old when she wrote this song and the album "Tidal". That's absolutely astounding. When you look at the depth, emotion and soul that went into that album and consider it came from a teenage girl it's awe inspiring. Look at the music churned out these days by girls in the same age bracket and the contrast is telling. She's a special soul and an artist for the ages.

[@robopotato4391]

Most are written by committee these days like people like Max Martin. No teenage girls these days write an entire album on their own (the lyrical and melodic component - very few people play every instrument). And actually they didn't really in the past either. A special talent.

[@Twistedpeppermint99]

George Michael wrote the hit song, "Careless Whisper" when he was 17 and wrote, arranged and produced most of his songs after that. He was a one of a kind artist as well.

Why such a cad would be a "Criminal"

[@CarissaConti]

Apparently Paul Thomas Anderson. Not a nice guy. She was talking about this guy many years after they were broken up, that's the level of verbal/psychological abuse he pulled on her. I've tried watching interviews with him to see what he's all about as a person, but the d 3monic energy emanating from him is very strong. Makes it very difficult to sit through any of his interviews. Even though he comes off as "charming" and friendly, even making jokes and such, it's all in the eyes and facial expressions. Bad energy.

I was a fan when this album broke. Saw her live at Lupos in Rhode Island in 1997 or 98 and have been a forever fan since. My teenage crush with those gorgeous eyes and tremendous talent.

[@staceykersting705]

Still listening to Fiona on a regular basis...she's amazing! Such the MOOD!

[@eddieds312]

sounds just as good today as it did 19 years ago.

[@holysmokes6709]

[@tootmysteamboat2887]

Bought Tidal at age 13, now 34 and still adore this beautifully, talented woman! My fav line.. "I'll be sure to stay weary of you, love.. To save the pain, of once my flame and twice my burn."

[@w.w2531]

I ABSOLUTELY loved her ! Everything about her was REAL and authentic

[@jacquelinetague7226]

God I miss this music. This entire album is amazing!

Watch as you age it speeds up , no kidding .

[@EyeCandyAthlete]

Unless you invent new numbers. I'm blurpteen years old. See? I'm still a teenager.

[@marieodea6107]

She looks so beautiful in this video

[@jessicadutridge9882]

It's still so raw and hard to listen to 20+ years later. All of her songs. They're so deeply personal...but I will say that she was sooo ahead of her time and she helped me put my emotions into words (with her lyrics). I didn't even know the term "shadow boxing" until this song was released and then it became my anthem against every narcissist I have ever encountered. I've since learned that when I feel the need to shadow box, that person is toxic and I have to walk away. She's helped me identify feelings into words and you can't put a price on that.

[@christinan.7799]

This was "one of those albums" that I was in love with each and every song from the very first listen. How often does that happen? Almost never... This sprite of a woman, as am I, clearly has not only the voice of a "Tidal" wave, but the soul, spirit, talent and aura of one too. Proving, to my satisfaction, that good things really DO come in small packages! Lol!

[@lmeow9099]

isnt she just amazing?

[@alligator1]

Criminal got me hooked for life on Fiona back in 1997.

[@marfauzamatjusoh8198]

All her songs and her singing style are so deep in emotions. Her dark jazzy music transcends you into another dimension.

[@kenrisling]

Perfect. I did not follow Fiona Apple in the '90s, never heard this song until just now. "Shadowboxer" is an image I've had in my head since the early '80s, and here she captured it in a song, almost exactly the way I applied it to my own life. Amazing. Like two different spies listening to the same phone tap.

[@jilliankahala930]

In all honesty I have never heard a more mature and rounded voice that actually sent shivers through my body and she’s so undeniably beautiful and I just can’t stop saying how much I love Fiona Apple🖤🖤

[@7jandi7]

One of the most prolific song writers ever!

[@staceymacquinn2538]

Beyond the most incredible talent. She has helped me through so much with her music.

[@AlexandrBorschchev]

This is the music I love. Just original and genuine, not generic trash songs that can be created in 5 minutes.

[@abbylassiter1780]

yup had this on compact disc, played the hell out of it on my 5 disc console stereo;) that's right ppl, 5 discs!

[@adamw116]

abby lassiter I had one of those, rather my parents! She was defenitely spinning in that revolving player too!

[@laurenantonelli1902]

Man, this was part of my bad ass cd collection too !!!!

[@sceniclobby6794]

the grace and magnetism in her music is only comparable to her looks....wow, and what an electrifying smile!

[@bahhagsgs598]

The maturity of her talent was kinda miraculous. Come back, Fiona! I'm a metalhead, but this rocks, what a work of art really beautiful

[@slapiro]

A huge talent.

[@ChillTheFuckOutMeditations]

I still love this song so much

[@twofivesc]

I would not mine finding a bar that played this type music:

[@monsdali]

+twofivesc honestly...

[@sirswearsalot1813]

twofivesc Where else would you hear such music though?

[@victorfurtado5578]

me too

[@karenwilliams5941]

I think there's some in my city

[@t_story5544]

Me too!!!!

[@jerryantoine7568]

Your first album is such a CLASSIC!

[@nickgiuliano7139]

I had Fiona, Alanis, and Jewel. And I was 16 and I loved everyone of them

[@craigs973]

This takes me back to my sophomore year of high school. Definitely my favorite Fiona Apple song.

[@seancorcoran966]

This was the very first song I ever heard of her's... Suddenly, at some obscure hour in the middle of the night, this video starting playing on Mtv, and I was instantly in love. Such a distinct "what is this?" moment, that I will always remember! Still my all time favorite artist, and listen to every day 😃

[@Dani92670]

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song on the radio...maybe sometime in 1995...it's never stopped sounding as amazing as it did the first time.

[@stevereed8786]

She captures me. She make's me think, feel mellow, angry, happy and sad. Now will someone please fetch me the Bolt Cutters!

[@tyrenebanks72]

Ugh Loved this song back in the day!!! Her voice is a magnificent force!

[@chadmish]

Looking back. I honestly believe that the 90's was the last decade of true music artists. It was a great decade and the music was all so different. My CD collection went from Fiona Apple to Pantera. Everyone push analog recordings to the max. I truly appreciate this art. Man I got old. But I appreciate graduating the year this song came out.

[@TheOldOakSyndicate]

+chadmish Don't worry friend...Reel to Reels are coming back...There will come a time where all artist will regret their use of computers to record music. The only thing a computer should record is youtube comments, and that's it.

[@seanisland]

chadmish You're not old, neither am I. I graduated then too.

[@Halfshanks]

How do you think they recorded this song? through a potato?

[@LeoWhalen1933]

Agreed.

[@andrewrussell3318]

Lol, fiona to pantera; same here caught alot of shit as a teenager in the late 90's for that.

[@dannymeeks1723]

incredibly beautiful song. Good God. It transcends genre. LOVE!!!

[@BertBlodgett]

I think I truly fell in love with Fiona apple back when I first heard this tune back in like 95, something like that. I was in my mid teens, and would have died for this woman. A true masterpiece. And that gaze is dangerous. And delicious.

[@BertBlodgett]

I could die into that stare up from her piano. Absolutely stunning.

[@kaseyamundson6078]

I was once intoxicated by this stunning songstress I'm so glad to drink from this luscious fountain agian

[@jocelyncharde7796]

One of my favorite albums of all time!
