Fiona Apple Why Try To Change Me Now Live

[@sundaycr33d17]

I have a lot of respect for musicians who have the voice and go to a genre that is not so popular but they love what they do instead of trying everything to go to the mainstream music.

[@JohnBNotgoodenough]

It's sad, and a little annoying, that we have a lot less of this and much more of, well, shit.

[@eugenesedita]

That’s what a real singer does.

[@franciscovaldesloeza5519]

La interpretacion es todo en esta vida ..... Solo con eso podemos ver la verdadera esencia de lo que quiso transmitir el compositor. Es que te amo ..phiona apple. Nunca te intentes cambiar. .....pero..... Por lo harias ahora? 🤫

[@emilymo6119]

Who cares. Do you like it?

[@CarrotFlowers421]

She knows the song extremely well, you can tell the way she effortlessly moves around the intervals on a whim, always in the key which isn't simple. She's a true professional.

[@pukacruz]

if this doesn't sum up the pocket change that's me...Fiona what would I do without you. I breathe a little easier because you put yourself out there. Thank you for sharing yourself in your passion. Thank you for being a flower of song. I heard somewhere that radio waves escape the earth's atmosphere and travel infinitly through out space. I sure hope that's true because your beautifully sung heart should resound in the universe forever.

[@MalloryArt]

pukacruz you said it... so many of her diehard fans myself included feel so much this.

[@adriatic_sea]

Well said I'll be there with a net to catch your waves of ai time

[@twirlingparasol_]

My life would be so less rich without this intensely resplendent soul. I have always felt connected to her, we're in the same ship drifting this Universe. Thank you, Fiona. I'm with you, OP. ❤️

[@sofiaschain6552]

omg this is so beautiful

[@mafercorto]

She really made the song hers, for me it just hits different than the og one. This one sounds way more melancholic and tired of feeling socially maladjusted but somehow still craving in a little hope the need of being "conventional". Comfort cover ngl. Thanks for sharing this.

[@saintcruzin]

Sinatra would be happy to hear this....

[@zeroceiling]

pupo jenkins ....man why so mean?.....she is one of the true originals we have....why be so mean?

A full jazz LP from Fiona would be spectacular.

[@todd8155]

Yes Fiona please, a full Jazz album. I am sure it would be spectacular.

[@peterlivingstone]

Her plosive "P" on "people talk" at 1:41 is a rather wonderful thing...

[@robertmicera5500]

Fiona's pronunciation and delivery of every word on this is brilliant. I would put it up to interpretations that Harry Nilsson delivered with his phrasing. Even if it was the only song she ever sang, she would be brilliant

[@rome8180]

The cape and gloves are a nice touch.

[@FleaRHCP97]

The other famous versions of this song, done by some of the most legendary artists in music history...simply can't touch this. Incredible.

[@donaldsepanek8809]

I finally have a favorite song.

[@Lanadelreyloverr]

She’s perfect

[@AJafterhourz]

This song reminds me of something I’d hear in a diner/coffee shop on a rainy day in the city.

I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain 난 지나치게 감상적이어서, 이 빗 속을 걷네요 I've got some habits, even I can't explain 몇가지 취미도 있지만, 이런 날 딱히 설명할 수도 없어요 Go to the corner, and I end up in Spain 아무도 없는 외딴 곳으로 가다 결국 꿈속에 다다르겠죠. Why try to change me now? 왜 이제와 날 바꾸려 하는 건가요? I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore 아주 많은 시간을 꿈 속에서 허우적 대요 Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor 담뱃재는 바닥으로 흩어져 내리고 I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door 문 앞에 열쇠를 놔둔채로 나의 주말은 그렇게 지나가겠죠 Why try to change me now? 왜 이제와 날 바꾸려 하는 건가요? ​ Why can't I be more conventional? 어째서 난 더 평범하게 되지 못한 걸까요? People talk, and they stare, so I try 사람들은 수근대고, 빤히 쳐다보고, 난 표내지 않으려 애쓰고... But that can't be, because I can't see 그런 것들에 신경쓰지 않기에 그럴 수(표내지 않을 수)없어요.. My strange little world just go passing me by 나만의 낯선 이 세계는 그냥 흘러가게 놓아 두세요 So let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown 다른 사람들이 이상하게 생각하라죠, 비웃어도, 눈살을 찌푸려도 상관없어요 You know I'll love you tillthe moon's upside down 저 달이 엎어 질때까지 당신만을 사랑할거란 걸 잘 알잖아요 Don't you remember I was always your clown? 난 언제나 당신의 어릿광대였다는 걸 잊었나요? Why would you want to change me now? 근데 왜 이제와 이런 날 바꾸려 하는 건가요?

[@elPusherman]

This will forever be a treasure in my heart. That little giggle Fiona drops when the pianist goes off the hook at the end just makes me smile every time. So much beauty

[@norbertertel2989]

There is just a sort of peace with her voice in singing...Sort of sums it up for me...By the way I do feel this is one of the finest performances that I have been fortunate enough to be able to view and listen to in my life time....

[@Littleneddygtw]

beautiful sentiment

[@LouLunar]

Oh my. What an exquisite song sung by and exquisite voice. The pianist is just so delightfully free and floaty too. Love this. Sharing it!!

[@femafull]

So talented and passionate! She is my queen

[@movingon4now]

"I sit and daydream I've got daydreams galore Cigarette ashes There they go on the floor I go away weekends And leave my keys in the door But why try to change me now" ...haha! I sit in my car and have to go back into the house for something I forgot at least twice a week. I go upstairs for something, and remember I left what I need downstairs, go back down and then decide to do something else first - - Watching me as a fly on the wall would be very confusing. :P

[@marcula2021]

I'd just ended up in Spain... Till the end of confinement!

[@namizmo]

:o

[@Lanadelreyloverr]

The song is about a person who accepts himself with his faults before his positives, accepts his strange habits, accepts his absent-mindedness, his daydreams, his indifference to people's opinions, but the person he loves tries to change him. Now he resists this change and denounces these attempts after he got to know himself with all that is in it and embraced it with love and tells him that he has always been his clown, meaning that he has always loved him and tried to make him happy, so there is no need to force him to change his personality into something

[@gatozagarra7238]

Magic Fiona..almost fairy. .made of stardust

[@khtut8015]

Beautiful delivery!

[@billslocum9819]

I love Frank's versions, but Fiona lays bare why the last lyric is "I was always your clown" and not "til the moon's upside down." You taste the vulnerability from her.

[@crowdpleaser54]

[@namizmo]

Nice! It's a great song. Frank Sinatra! Done very well by the lovely Fiona Apple.

[@barbusie4764]

Frank didn't write this.. He covered it and added to his catalog, But a lyricist by the name of Joseph mcCarthy wrote the lyrics.. Cy coleman wrote the music part .. It's been done/covered by a number of artists since it was written in 1952 for Independent Publication... Sinatra recorded it for the first time shortly after that..

[@mirkoruiz7731]

i believe this is a jazz standard

[@namizmo]

@@barbusie4764 Dang, I thought Cy Coleman wrote it. Sinatra recorded it, Bob Dylan nailed it... and Fiona made it float. Now I want to research Joseph McCarthy. Thank you for the information! It's such a great song.

Cy Coleman - music Joseph Allan McCarthy Jr - lyrics Only hit(?) for the lyricist, but his dad had quite a few.

[@MeGeorgeSand]

Bessy, Billie and Fiona, that is it.

[@swanportermusic]

You are so wrong. Her parents were both performers, yes. But she was not sheltered, nor rich, nor protected. Do YOUR research. You think she can give a performance like without ever having been through some sort of trauma? Oh please. You clearly know nothing about her. You don't deserve to.

[@m.a.g.3920]

Even if all that was true you´re not talking about her ability to write and perform that is what really counts. Odes to herself? well, I would like to hear ego-odes from everybody if the results are as amazing and creative as Fiona does. The power of jazz is not only affection transmited through having overcome poor situations, and in anycase her deep feeling could come from inner woes that in fact every human being could feel, those that has nothing to do with their shelters or lack of, that´s why she´s so effective.

[@swanportermusic]

+Marissa 87 My issue lies with your mention of "struggle" as if it's appropriate to consider one persons pain any more important or worthy of regard due to the "era" they're from or whatever other circumstance. Its such a naive thing to say. I don't know Fiona personally, (if anyone here does please speak up), but I'm confident in saying that she would totally disagree with you. Pain is pain. Struggle is struggle. No matter the severity. The way in which she processes that and forms it into art is no less worthy of acknowledgement or reverence. She deserves to stand side by side with the artists mentioned above. Just as anyone else with the same talent would.

[@swanportermusic]

+Marissa 87 You need to relax, hopefully you read my response above. The amount of times you have rewrote, erased etc your comments is ridiculous. You're clearly not a fan, so do yourself a favor and go away.

[@swanportermusic]

This is essentially a melodic and lyrical sequel to The End of a Love Affair by Billie Holiday, right? Same tempo, same affects, etc...not that it's a bad song, and I do adore Fiona singing it, but when it comes down to it, it's practically the same song.

[@m.a.g.3920]

@Littleneddygtw true, but she is different, and better than "where people usually go", sadly her last album was so dissapointing for me. Idler Wheel and the previous Album are experimental albums, like Bolt is. But Bolt is simply inferior musically talking, I'm so tired of discussing this with "die-hard" fans when in fact most of them didn't knew Fiona till the last album and I've listening her for years and years. She IS a jazz (indie rock) singer but she may not want to take that path, for whatever reasons. In my opinion doing that standards album would pave her final road to Glory, because she is not worse than Ella Fitzgerald or worse than Holliday... She is that good. But she doesn't take her seriously enough or jazz seriously enough.
