[@swanportermusic]

God I cry every time I swear, especially after she says "and he took my pearl and left an empty shell of me" And gets this angry emotional look on her face and bangs on the piano. Its humbling.

[@ragelopez8828]

Exactly... I cry and think just that you said!

[@dudeivealreadydonethis5tim289]

03:21 is what gets the tears for me. That beautiful fluttering fluid rise and fall of notes. Its my favorite part.

[@jujubee5411]

its a lyric that hit only truly hit some and its unfortunate

[@elmarbeau]

last week I was assaulted and left alone crying in a remote place. This song is dedicated to all those who suffer and cry inside. for all those who are misunderstood

[@suesjoy]

So sorry. Hope you are ok. Sending you love. 💕

[@Skaberchlyn]

I'm so sorry for what happened to you. Hope you're doing good.

[@phillybul30]

So sorry that happened to you

[@portisheadthird3]

❤

[@reyl2230]

ik this is 4yrs later, but i hope you’re doing better now

[@sheetabearr]

She represents what artistry means to me.

[@amandareynolds2779]

Right. If people haven't found her by now. They are looking for true artists. She sings with her soul. Fr

[@connorbrady-ladygagafan1115]

I will carry this song with me for the rest of my life

[@connorbrady-ladygagafan1115]

This is Such A Special And Unlike Any Other Music Song

Connor Brady - Ladygagafan111 I wish be with you...I was sexual abuse too.

[@danielzepeda5225]

Me too my friend

[@danielzepeda5225]

It truly is special

[@airisville]

i wish i could wrap myself up in a blanket made of this song

[@ulysees1117]

She was so young here, and so incredibly talented... a genius level of talent. There are ways to quantify a genius of math and logic, but no test to claim genius-ness of the emotional or creative realms. If such a model existed, I have no doubt she would be revered as one.

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

First, limit it to artists who actually write all their own lyrics. To me, so much more powerful to know the singer wrote the lyrics themselves. Second, if the singer not only wrote the lyrics, but also wrote all the music, you are much closer to the genius level (I’d say prodigy, in her case). To reach the end of the lyrics in Apple Music and see credits for one name, and one name only (the artist), is very impressive and satisfying to me. Third, if the lyrics and music are unique, moving, deep or open to many interpretations, and unforgettable, I think it’s safe to use genius. IMO, Bob Dylan is the epitome. And I have a feeling that Bob has heard and been very impressed with Ms. Apple’s albums.

[@adagiobreeze8493]

I first heard this at age 15 and It shook me forever.

[@KaWiReloaded]

Adagio Breeze i was 11 and same

Same. I was 16

[@user-id5yg9fc9k]

Me too

[@user-id5yg9fc9k]

As of right now

[@xoio]

"Be he washed ma ashore,....And he took my peal, and left an empty shell of me...." Some of THE MOST PROFOUND lyrics ever written and sung.

[@taylerkay239]

she has the coolest voice.

[@notaspacemonkey]

100% honest, sincere songwriting. You can feel it with every fiber of your being. Really touching.

[@connorbrady-ladygagafan1115]

When she sings 'But he washed me ashore and he took MY pearl" the my always is so sharp like a fish hook ripping through your mouth dragging yourself to her or like a dagger puncturing skin, she sings so sharply that my is so sharp I'm alluding to a comment I saw when I was a freshman in 2012 when I was fifteen and looking at the comments of her "Never Is A Promise" video and this one person said "That first understand is so powerful" or something like that ("Paper Bag" reference) of the sort and they were right and she has such a powerful voice and shows beautiful and her consonance is so powerful in such short notes its astounding. Fiona Apple will always one of my Inspirations for the rest of my life

[@toliveischristandtodieisga4205]

Connor Brady - Ladygagafan111 Wow, that was so beautifully and lyrically spoken! What a wonderful way to interrupt the way many of us feel about Miss. Apples music and the way she is able to use her God-given talent to reach out to us! I truly could not have said anything better! Thank you for that and God bless and keep you!

[@NotiFawkes]

Started reading this comment.. and less than a second later.. the quoted line you spoke of came up.. how eerie.. Ive never heard this song before either..

[@VictorMilane]

This is so beautifully sad... When she talks before singing the song you can almost see the tension growing and the weakness showing... That's amazing. That's why I love Fiona.

[@FelixG2070]

It’s what makes her the artist she is... her being misunderstood, sullen.. Complexities of an artist; the creativeness

[@millyabrahams4977]

APPARENTLY sullen

[@thomasoppe358]

Xylophone player is excellent too.

[@ManinManchester]

Technically yes, but there's too much going on.

[@kesyakirana3341]

Oh God, even her speaking voice is beautiful 💖

[@juliancisthebest]

I'm crying :// One of her most beautiful songs, about one of her darkest things. Fiona is so precious and so string, even as young as she was here, a true hero.

[@WillowGreensongNews]

I love Fiona. She is mysteriously Beautiful, her lyrics hit my soul & i relate to her art in ways i cant explain. Her music does the explaining for me. ❤️

[@chicagosamantha]

"They don't know I used to sail and the deep and tranquil sea."❤️❤️

[@turquoiself]

This song is a pearl

[@astorjetson]

lau_inbloom 💜

[@stevenmorris2234]

An absolute legend in my generation. The singer is truly gifted. Learned piano and I think singing also composed her own stuff at age 8. WOW!

[@jodiespencer5269]

Time to cry thank you

[@jacktheguyyt15]

Sing can write, she can perform, she can sing with the upmost emotion, shes a true iconic musician. I just love her! Always have

[@deannecaliforniamusic]

Felt like a jumper cable on my heart hearing this live. Had to look it up to watch her play & sing because it’s really quite masterful how the melodies and voice interact. Sounds like a watercolor painting to me. Disassociation that can happen after trauma…tells that story perfectly. Fiona is a treasure…she must be protected at all costs. 🍎🔥

[@katrinarose72]

cry every time

[@astorjetson]

Carrie Mitchell ever

[@squidsyd9548]

1:58 that one piano part before she says Sullen girl wow that always gives me goosebumps

[@anomalees]

so eloquently stunning. the piano chords hit me hard then the xylophone tempers it. understated, lucid poetry as such. it's calm under the waves. Fiona is a singular, artistic songwriter. her lyrics resonate into the deepness of rare souls.Tidal left me lingering for more. i once knew a girl in college who was raped .she transferred. we chatted anonymously on the mainframe before the internet was born. it all comes full circle with "Sullen Girl".

[@mariereveron431]

She's beautiful and she makes me cry. I love her.

[@Bellakaprincess]

This is the MOST beautiful performance that ive ever seen in my whole life

[@TeddyLovesBacon]

god i love her so much... amazingly beautiful in her candid vulnerability

[@getoffmynuttz7904]

This is the (closest to the original studio recording) live version I've ever heard.

[@theempire00]

Definitely in my top 5 Fiona songs! And the best on Tidal, shared with Pale September ;)

[@jenniferdelacruz1786]

this is almost too much for me...

[@leticiamelo8132]

Days like this, I don't know what to do with myself All day and all night I wander the halls along the walls And under my breath I say to myself "I need fuel to take flight" And there's too much going on But it's calm under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Is that why they call me a sullen girl, sullen girl They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea But he washed me 'shore And he took my pearl And left an empty shell of me And there's too much going on But it's calm under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves In the blue of my oblivion It's calm under the waves In the blue of my oblivion

[@ArtisanalErisian]

this song feels like it was written for me, from one raw nerve of a human being to another.

[@moninkart]

Como é que ela consegue cantar sem chorar? ...eu não consigo ouvir sem chorar e a música nem faz parte da minha história

[@astorjetson]

Monique Rocha sim.

[@user-ux3vw6mb4k]

One of the most beautiful songs ever. Fiona Apple is a gift to this world.

[@shitcreekpolka]

i was absolutely obsessed when i was a teenager. now as an adult, i still love her.

[@stevenmorris2234]

It's been 5 years since she did her 4th album called Idler Wheel.

[@dancedance5668]

i love fiona, i really do. this may come across fangirl-ish but i truly feel shes one of the few honest musicians out there. I can't even point it out, because there are other singers i like, and i dont think they are bad songwriters or that the composition is lacking, but her songs hit different for me, even if i dont relate to them. But its more like im listening to her. And she comes across as honest in everything she does, her lyrics, her beats, and her views towards fame and the industry. and really, i know that she doesnt like being famous. for her, writing is personal, but this is just a job shes really good at ( said so herself in an interview.

[@Laurendoesflips]

Hard to pick I think either this or Paper Bag is my favorite Fiona song. She is amazing and talented. I understand how she feels. I feel like that sometimes too. There is a comfort and peace in feeling down by yourself and being in your own little world.

[@michelerichards233]

I hate that so. many beautiful women have been plucked before they were ripe. Thank you Miss Fiona we hear you and understand you perfectly.

[@onenotused9327]

So amazing miss Apple is a master : )

[@sirllamalot1980]

[@cupcakesx22]

I grew up listening to Fiona. And feeling what she says when you go under the waves.

[@KaWiReloaded]

one of my favorite songs of all time ♥️

[@shadowboxer93]

Her voice in this video is so soft... kind of amazing.

[@LadyHavana74]

I relate to this song more than any of you know... I was sesxually abused by my very own half brother and when she sings the lyric about her rape, I have just *always* bawled my eyes out... She's so very brave! I LOVE HER FOREVER!!!

[@deep.breathely]

Fiona has been a hero of mine since I was very young...thank you for letting me see these, Paula!

[@phillybul30]

I love her lyrics so much

[@callista1994]

[@s.w.126strawberry6]

I love this song

[@gotikova]

Amazing !!! que bien canta esta cancion esn vivo... da escalofrios !!

[@johnnyk7638]

I miss her...

[@End3r_Wiggin]

I saw her in Memphis, TN April 10th, 2000. This was her tour to promote "When the pawn breaks...". She was at the Orpheum and I had 3rd row, center section. I was maybe 20 ft from her at the piano. Hands down, the single greatest concert I've ever been to. The last song of her encore was "I Know".

[@Nameless-dw5nv]

She's still here...

[@tonymiloooo]

I love her, so much her music has brought me so much comfort and it’s helped me in so many ways she means so much to me

[@kathleenwebster7604]

Magnifique!

[@echoerains9075]

My favorite Fiona song!

[@notaspacemonkey]

This is sooo BEAUTIFUL.

[@BillHaines37]

"Fiona Apple Rocks" explained the early date in another thread: "This was one of the 4 Sony Showcase shows where she only played a few songs, then her first full show was at Ronnie Scotts London (a tiny venue with 250 seats) 2 weeks before the album release. So they were less promotional events and more about preparation for the real tour in much bigger US venues."

[@VeganDeterioration]

This is my favorite song by fiona

[@GodmadeConscious]

Surprised theres not more comments. This is really decent quality of some early stuff. Thanks for uploading :)

[@sunnydale22]

Very well done.

[@Maxwell_83]

I like this song. More so in another place & time in my journey. It would have made me cry a few years back when I was going through some dark days, struggling with life, myself & people. Right now though I can't sit through it without cringing, just saying. I definitely understand though what she's expressing and why others are drawn to it's melancholy words & melody. Best to all!

[@alejandromor852]

I love this woman! At the beginning she is speaking with her heart and obviously that is not easy. I would like to hug her and just share silence with her for hours… then make her smile.

[@jermainebrown3938]

Brilliant

[@Vicerooy]

God how much i love her and her music
