Fiona Apple singing O'Sailor - Live Acoustic

[stillmattwest]

I just listened to Tidal the other day. Even though it isn't as sophisticated as her later stuff, its still damn good singing and songwriting, and the fact that she composed those songs in high school is just staggering.

[glanzstueck]

Her voice is even clearer than the instruments. I love the heaviness in it... 

[boatjacker]

Sounds even better live, it sticks with you long after it's done

[vagifrza1957]

1 sing after u,ve gone is perfect. Fiona is jazz vocal master, but she did not know it. Fiona -don,t play anything but jazz and You sacceed! With great love - rza.

[SnotRockets55]

Probably her best performance ever.

[Euphorianna]

I love her piano while she plays. It isn't boring like most piano playing singers.

[Euphorianna]

I love her music.

[baermtn]

oh, what a blessed curse: to see.

[DnaMediaSolutions]

me siento una mierda de hombre...

[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

Wow, why haven't I heard this before? It's amazing.

[rostiersen]

Es muy difícil en estos tiempos donde reina el entretenimietno por el entretenimiento encontrarse con verdaderos asrtistas que lo dan tod, Fiona apple es una de ellas, quien se rehúsa a comprometer su creatividad y magnificencia a costa de vender millones de discos. Su música es tan sincera que lo transmite, es una cantautora de muchísima calidad, es admirable lo que hace.

[anahiville]

1:17 pense que se iba a largar a llorar...

[RobinB84]

She is marvelous. Just amazing!

[draculadelator]

Por qué nos es tan díficil reconocer que estamos mal??? Por qué tanta soberbia???? Y qué tal si es como dice Fiona: una maldición bendita para ver???

[coyoteshark]

Fiona is Hot, The Queen Mary Version was

great. and the lyric "Oh what a blessed curse to see" Brilliant!

[santaisphat]

wow. she is so passionate. her music moves me so much.

[theANT47]

i will always love Fiona .....

[theANT47]

damned right she makes a record when she feels like it - its her medicine....

[gungrave515]

shes one of the only artist ive heard who sounds 100% the same vocally live.

if not better.

nice.

[ZShort1985]

Check out Daniel Johns from Silverchair. He can pull that shit off real well too, you might dig it.

[maryzhol1]

@gungrave515 She does sound great, take a listen to Sarah McLachlan or Alanis Morissette, pristine voices, better live than on recording.

[kaylatanisaxox]

@gungrave515 i've heard ONE other.. her name is adele. look up some of her acoustic stuff. her voice is absolutley AMAZING. nothing on fiona though lol ;]

[donedave]

It's been four years since Extraordinary Machine and that followed a six year lull; I keep wondering if Fiona Apple just isn't that interested in being on the pop star machinery- just makes records whenever she feels like it. She's one of the BEST composers in the business right now, no doubt.

[dubified89]

I think she only gets inspired by bad shit that happens to her, so if life's good she doesn't have much to write about.

[MegaWhiner]

@dubified89 I hate to wish her ill so we can have another album. Maybe she should start singing happy love songs or something like that.

[LyricsBYFionaAppleIT]

@MegaWhiner

yeah you're right ( I feel a criminal too....) but she simply said "I don't know how..."

[MegaWhiner]

@LyricsBYFionaAppleIT I don't understand your comment. A while back I said maybe she should sing happy songs. (By the way, I think that is coming in her new CD like extraordinary machine and waltz)

[LyricsBYFionaAppleIT]

@MegaWhiner

You said “I hate to wish her ill so we can have another album. Maybe she should start singing happy love songs or something like that.”

I feel the same, I feel like a criminal to wish Fiona ill so we can hear another album :)

About happy songs I just quoted what she said: “I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.”

[MegaWhiner]

@LyricsBYFionaAppleIT Oh OK I get it. I'm slow. What would an Angel do? The devil wants to know.

[LyricsBYFionaAppleIT]

@MegaWhiner

ahahaha...You're great!

[ThsBehaviorsNtUnique]

Her voice goes right through your skin. She's seriously amazing.

[CaterwaulinHeat]

My god. She and the band are so great live! I hope this isn't studio edited.

[Heatley1514]

I could spend an entire afternoon watching her live performances on here....

[Gusmagno]

She is so talent, I can´t believe it...She sings beatiful but, She composes better too.

Simplily awesome.

[EnigmaComposer]

i love the bridge sooo much

[Applepancakes1002]

does anybody know what meter this song is in???

[JimmersThomas]

6/8

[Applepancakes1002]

Thank you!

[paulipaz]

Thank you! Would you happen to know where i could get good sheet music for this song, and her music in general. I can't seem to play by ear like i used to.

[JimmersThomas]

I don't, sorry - I'm just a drummer.

[julesandthemonty]

she dated david blaine.....hello!!!

[leliz82]

Failed relationships, honesty, admitting to fault, hoping.

[DawgDdogg]

WOW

[makiiitah69]

o.0 ella canta fenomenal musho mejor q en sus videos o.0 canta precioso igual y mejorado por dios!!!!!!!

[lauralikes]

too good.

[emidow53]

she speaks the truth

[undersolo]

What a heartbreaking song. It just sounds like she went through something impossible to imagine to write this. Very surreal as well.

[merdufer]

she has to play 52 cards because she's playing too far from her vest?

i'm lost...

[CorycianMuse]

It's not 'because'.

She's holding her cards far from her vest (her body), so she's not hiding them well from the other players. In other words, metaphorically, she's got nothing to hide. As her next line reads, "Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard".

:)

[boatjacker]

I fucking love this song! It doesn't sound like it was written about a break up or past relationship. Sounds like it could have been written about someone close to her like her dad or brother. Still it's chillingly beautiful!

[Artitekto]

esa Fiona....es la mujer más maravillosa qe hay

=)

[kdmiranda]

Genius... Fiona is amazing!!!

[girlbruise07]

Fiona Apple has raw talent. I like this better than the album version.

[nettoepfel]

Fiona always tears me apart with her painful voice. It reminds me a gray-clouded day when you're staying alone in home. Simply awesome! *_*

[Phazonin]

This is the perfect song for a cold, depressing autumn day.

[changingone77]

Love this song.  I need to learn to play it on the piano.

[29cynthia29]

Amazing, she is so fucking talented.

[Alak80]

Anytime i listen her voice, i feel shocked!!!

She is a fucking genious!!!

[Parasolkid]

In 4:22-4:23 her voice reflects pain, beautifully.

[viiviiixxtactic]

Old message reply, lol - but did you ever listen to Fiona's "Oh Well?" That song reflects alot of pain - especially in the second chorus "What wasted unconditional love - on somebody who doesn't believe in the stuff"

[umovelikehoney]

ahh chills

[unchartedterritory]

i'm always paralized when she sings. i feel like i have to show it to the world. people must know her music! mainly when her voice can be listened to without the 'interference' of many instruments. it would be perfect for me if she was always acoustic.

[Artitekto]

Fiona es una mujer llena de sensibilidad...

las penas tienen un sabor más delicado y las yagas no duelen al escuchar su voz..

[BunBeeJazz]

holy shit! Unbelievable! She always blows me away when she finds her groove like this

[eletoga]

no esta fuera de tono...asi es!

[bjorkesita]

esta canciòn es hermosa!

canta muy bien en vivo!!y toca maravilloso!

[DontGetMad52]

got dayum

[Julyeah]

eerie

[OcnRckr]

absoluley.

[power99fiona]

shes's fantastic..she's magic and wonderful

[aeas1234]

no manches neta que voz que manera de tocar es una de mis artistas favoritas y en vivo se escucha mucho mejor que en el cd neta fiona es una diosa

[BROWNRISK]

sencillamente,se deja llevar por sus propias emociones y sentimientos.ESDE LAS POCAS PIANISTAS Y COMPOSITORAS CAPACES DE TRANSMITIR FUERZA Y PERSONALIDAD A SUS TEMAS...

[ShadowboxerXx]

I love this version of the song.

The way it drags you down, it's better than the album one.

[ilcchef2]

Yes I agree, better than the album version, she is really bleeding here. Simple and beautiful.

[BunBeeJazz]

bleeding...yes perfect.

[TA2smith]

She has such an amazing voice

[betoperdido]

en este recital Fiona se echa un par de gallitos. she lost the tune

[ferapple]

Creo q es su forma de cantar... y queda muy bien... para mi... no la defiendo pero me gusta q transmita esa angustia desesperacion, dolor... que se yo... salu2

[eddrc18]

dios, mejor que nadie, es exactamente lo mismo que pienso, es su forma de comunicary de transmitir ese desgarre que siente, sin importar si esta o no fuera de tono

[myownfrida]

hey, es cierto, pero aún así la amamos, jaja.

[Fabiana22]

Wonderful voice, beautiful song... and almost made me cry! She's so intense!

[zoos09]

No No NO she's amazing i love her!!!!

[KarLuv]

SHE FUCKING ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tiw3]

i'm gonna marry her! dammit i will! lol

[babylonkid]

when i first heard her music i was a senior in 97. i still listen to her. i listen to heavy metal and electronica music and fiona apple. i think shes incredible. very good song writer.

[pierbert]

I just can't get enough of Fiona! She's so amazing live.

[BrendanMaclean]

Brilliant video.

[eramuse2290]

good god, she's amazing. i love this song! it's one of my favorites from her new (FREAKING ASTOUNDING) album.

[cacashojas]

go to bed...

[churrobilly]

my previous comments were for the motherfucking asshole cunt muffin who called Fiona Apple's Album terrible. they are baby raping dick sucking shit eaters who suck the balls of donkeys.

I LOVE YOU FIONA APPLE!!!

[Lyricaljust]

Fiona Apple is one of my favorite artists.. I have all of her albums.. Even though I enjoy When The Pawn and Extraordinary Machine.. I have to say my absolute favorite of hers is Tidal.. I can listen to every single track on that CD and not skip one.. Her music is just so beautiful and I love the fact that she puts so much of her soul into her words and music.. She's one of the only artists that can make me get on the verge of tears.. I need to see her live..

[mender33]

Anyone figure out what the words are about ?

[andreathatsright]

She's great live and acoustic, even better than in the studio versions -- thank you for posting this!!!!

[ElectroFunkee]

She's got some great hands. Nice and strong. I bet she could squish potatoes with those.

[KelsoJackie]

i don't know much about her except this song.. wow.. look at her!! her live singing is much better than recording version.. she's truly artist.

[lcbell8]

Check her out! she is awesome! in everything and every way

[ferapple]

perfecta de comienzo a fin, a pesar de que muchos dicen que extraordinary machine es un disco extraño, para mi no lo es, eso no quita que no sea bueno, para mi un disco excelente de una artista que se destaca

[MetaMorphy]

Find a proper god damned tonic woman. This album is terrible.

[eddrc18]

R u fucking drunk???? this was the best record in 2005 - 2006, probably u're just close minded! ignorant!

[maisfeliz]

proper tonic? if you can't follow the harmony here... i would suggest never, ever listening to jazz. also, rule out any classical music from after the 18th century or so, and joni mitchell's entire catalogue... in case you and most of the music industry hadn't noticed yet, those rules got tossed out a looong time ago.

[javieryta]

Es perciosa.... Tiene una hermosa voz y canciones muy interesantes...Y esta canción en particular hace que mi mundo se detenga

[senia420]

i think she is so pretty...she has a lot of talent

[myownfrida]

Im such a big fan of her, and I can say thats the better version of O sailor.

I love her.

[mrparke007]

You people HAVE to see her live. It's absolutely incredible. She screams and stomps and pulls her hair. It's so capped out with emotion... she's so freaking underappreciated.

[High5loveMaroon5]

i adore her i love every little thing about her

[emanuelestrikesagain]

so fuckin' perfect

[stoned1982]

this song is just really sad damn...

[multuminparvo]

What a rare talent. She is truly amazing. No bells and whistles either- she's just a badass.

[ciaoeddie]

extraordanary machine es sumamente particular.. pero ésta canción... es maravillosa! la primera vez que escuché el disco entero me dije es éste para mi el gran tesoro que me deja sin respiración...! exelente video! arg.

[oswe24297]

perfect

[pawapawapo]

I love this song! i like this version better than the album....the piano is stronger, which makes the song seem more tragic.... thank you for sharing this performance with us!

[lalaboi200]

Amazing. Awesome how you can hear the piano that is drowned out by the instuments on the original album...which is amazing as well by the way...

[pimsghost]

Thanks for putting this up! How beautifully dark, so incredibly haunting in this arrangement. Fabulous.
