Tymps - Fiona Apple and Elvis Costello

[mrfinsky]

First of all, Fiona is just wonderful. This is a better version than any I have heard. Secondly, Elvis and the gang are great. Better, cleaner arrangements than the album. I wish they would do an entire live recording together.

[amarandivyt]

was she on some phihedelic drugs at that moment' ? ;:)

[Fayeliam]

just



[velconstantcraving]

She's one of the very few artists whose live versions I prefer to the album versions. Girl can sing live!

[maluudm]

she is the besttttttttttttt

[slyfence]

the 12 that disliked this are sick in the head

[murattothechosenone]

if any body knows which concert this is from or where i can get the complete footage please contact me immediately! Thank You

[ragercker1212]

@murattothechosenone I was lucky enough to be at this show. This was the VH1 special, Elvis Costello And friends with Death Cab For Cutie, Fiona Apple And Billie Joe Armstrong of Greenday.

[GuardaGuada]

loooove youuuuuu

[fencecat422]

I love me some marimba. Ladies and gentlemen, the incomparable Steve Nieve. Oh yeah, Pete Thomas is dope, too.

[swamijake]

Great version of my favorite of Fiona's work.

[gina1687]

AMAZIIIINGGGGGG!!!!!!

[anacolangelo]

fucking amazing couple. fiona 4 ever.

[ttn7663]

Don't mess with Fiona... With just one look she knocks you down! It's astounding how she can provide this intensity...It feels like she's filled with high voltage kept under severe control, just letting out a few bursts of power! It's absolutely fascinating and maybe a bit scary...

[MegaWhiner]

@ttn7663 Amazing charisma. Psychic like eyes.

[MegaWhiner]

This song has been going through my head a lot lately. I don't get the words right when I sing it though.

[missag43]

You know a great artist when their live performance is always better than a studio version.

[numismavideo]

@missag43 always indeed

[whitetiefilms]

She is fucking AMAZING here. Jesus. She's amazing everywhere, but this is AMAZING.

[waltzbtf]

@whitetiefilms took the words right out of my mouth

[Maite494]

OMG she's just amazing

so love this song (Y)

[llickthestars]

Beautiful musician

[hemmojito]

figured out the chords, can't tell you what fun it is to play this unusual sequence of chords. I kind of got even more addicted to the song...

[dubified89]

Awkward white girl dance ftw

[princessdaleeee]

god she's amazing

[MegaWhiner]

I could see her singing in a smoke filled blues club in the '40s. I'll have a cigar and 3 fingers of scotch.

[dolphinsfan1966]

Unequivocal, the most talented artist of our time.

[mhartemusic]

LOVE THIS SONG. LOVE THIS VERSION MORE!

[llickthestars]

Fiona it's just sublime

[PerhapsMaybe]

God, I love her. I don't care that people think she's the most awkward person ever on stage, I love how into it she gets, she just loses herself completely and doesn't care. Brilliant.

[rubyrose456]

I LOVE them playing together; two genius peas in a pod, without a doubt!

[suplicio]

Can someone pleaaaaase send me an mp3 of this song???

[icefenixxx]

I'm not a big fan of this performance of this song... way too bouncy... The instrumentation feels way off... lol... to me, this version feels like a lie

[SafiyeG]

She's in a zone when she performs and so eloquently expresses herself here; her body language, awkward dancing, & her passionate singing. She's incomparable.

[chickfaktor]

I think she never looked so beautiful, confident and mature. Go Fiona.

[Neopluto]

Wow she looks like a psycho, but I absolutely love her music.

[schnitzi]

Awesome. Fuck if I don't believe she's really mad at herself for kissing him so hard, late last Friday night.

[frenchmanboy]

love at 3:00 when the drums keep pushing and the band nails the music into you

[JimmersThomas]

To be fair, she's singing it and she wrote it. Costello's contribution here hardly makes a dramatic impact on the song.

It certainly does sound good played live, though.

[KlonopinSaves]

I fucking love this song. I listen to it like a song and analyze like it poem. It's rare to be able to do that with a song.

[suburiboy]

Steve knocked it out of the park on this one

[Phazonin]

Her voice is ridiculously powerful here, I love how she starts belting it out with that anger/passion we all know and love. I was never too fond of this song off of the record but after watching this performance I may have to think otherwise. She needs to come back soon.

[zelgraymon]

1:06 nice arrangement right there!

[precieuse9]

i could become a lesbian just for you Fiona...I LOVE YOU

[fannycass]

@precieuse9 me too :) XD

[oObottledOo]

@fannycass me too!!!! ahahahaha

[oObottledOo]

@fannycass me too!!!! ahahahha

[dubified89]

Go for it anyway

[budahgirl9110]

@precieuse9 So could I!!

[LostMyIdentity]

@precieuse9 Je bent geen bi als je ook niet beft (Y) eh eh.

[walkonawildside]

Is this really a live?! it's too perfect!!! eh eh

[sensorymultimedia]

that's definitely live... it's not completely perfect. you have a stage full of people who have mastered their instruments. of course it'll sound pretty damn good.

[walkonawildside]

yeah i know! i wrote this only to underline the live quality of Fiona singing, the musicians are good as well.

[karaninakaramazov]

Yeah, it's live. She's just really that good.

[royalxanadu]

I LOVE this song.

[Cirhstopher]

song has a damn good rhythmic quality

[zigawhat]

amaziiiiiiing!!!

[rmcibsas]

Je ne me lasse d'écouter cette fille... Addict am I ! FionAppleholic could be !

Quel son ! Awesome ! Et quel plaisir de l'entendre aux côtés d'un grand comme Elvis Costello.

A quand un nouvel album pour nous enivrer de tes mélodies et textes si appealing, Appleing devrais-je dire ;-) ?

Fiona, create again for the pleasure of yours (human beings that go with themselves and that are keen on your music) !

Love !

[Radioativa7]

Ia feeling so glad reading this comments.. cause Im loving Fiona a lot and its so glad aobserved that other persons loves her too

[damienxxxpele]

a song i listen to every saturday morning.

[atipacti]

this version is amazing!!!!!!!!

[GiganticRawr]

there is SO much talent on that stage...

[12ca]

She's so magic... I only start to write after read some of her lyrics. That's basically what I do to get some inspirations... I LOVE HER *-*

[devonconnax]

this girl is by far the coolest lady out there...very nice live version of an already awesome song

[perfumesofarabia]

fiona's spastic dancing is one of her trade marks.

she rocks and i love her. no one like her

[Cosmictalk]

Shes Jim Morrisons lost daughter

[1Lee]

i guess she doesn't know what to do with her hands if she isn't behind a piano..ha

this is awesome

[gwoman23]

This song always reminds me of skeletons, in a good way

[ryanperrey]

This is possibly the best thing I've seen on youtube in months. Elvis Costello's band and F-Apple. fuck.

[Tamirisns]

DUDE! Fiona Apple FUCKIN' ROCKS!

i'm in love LOL!

[honkifuluvmyusername]

Kiddies... this is Fiona on CRACK!! Those are certainly some interesting dance moves Ms. Apple. No matter how erotic her movements are she is an amazing artist.

[viiviiixxtactic]

lol she's not on crack.

[pattysmegleg]

Sometimes she does indeed look like she's a mix between apathy and barely maintaining onstage sanity, but if that's what it takes to keep her doling out the poetry and chilling vocals....then color me edgy and call me a fan. (!!!!)

[EmilySnicket14]

Wow she's amazing live.

[XshattereddreeamsX]

Is it just me or does Fiona always look so bored/unhappy peforming? She's amazing but I'd like a smile once in a while, ya know?

Maybe its just her persona, who knows...

<3 Fiona

[Maayanav]

It's just you.

She looks so deeply involved with her music' especially at this performance.

When Fiona's preforming it looks like she's really externalizing her true emotions at each song, so if the song isn't making her happy at the moment she just won't smile, and it's amazingly honest and inspiring that she's not selling herself, and she's not puting on a show, you know?

[forphuksake]

haha just like your country

[Jacobrester]

You need to do some research. Australia currency has already collapsed against the dollar. It was at a high of 1.03/dollar only five months ago, and now it is at .63/dollar.

What the hell are you talking about?

If the USA is in trouble, then Australia is doomed. Don't be such a dumbass. Do some research outside of Youtube videos.

It is better to be a "Has Been" than a "Never Was".

I will refrain from saying much more, because I have talked to some very nice Aussies.

[Jacobrester]

One other thing you ignorant uneducated dumbass. I am from Canada. But I dont fall in line to ridicule the USA like all the other envious losers like yourself. You hope the USA fails because you are jealous and you always have been.

If you had a brain in your head, you would realize your own situation in Australia may be worse. The USA will be fine in the long-term.

I get sick of envious haters like you.

[forphuksake]

why do you presume that i was talking about the usa are you sad you dont live there?, I do know the location of your country, and what is happening with you current president? And what about the turmoil in your parliament, that will affect your money and your countries trade. And is there a plan to hold back the downturn in Canada...no? and you saying our country is in trouble dumbass.

I will refrain from saying much more, because I have talked to some very nice Canadians

[Tonyt2332]

Were all doomed except japan

[forphuksake]

lol

[viiviiixxtactic]

Well I'm from Mars and I think we're the best and everyone else sucks. So there.

(Why do people always pick the best videos to start arguments on...)

[cardigans98]

shes soo pretty in this vid

[54spiritedwill54]

the woman is just brilliant. he's pretty brilliant himself, too.

[danieg17]

God! i love this song, she is just so Amazing!

[ChocolateCeik]

*.....!!!Fiona*...  merci kate

[bewbala]

fiona apple is so amazing. how does she think of these lyrics?

[redshoe7]

This is brilliant, can I buy a copy of this concert from somewhere??

[theabsinthebunny]

She's such a legend...

Come back Fiona! We miss you baby!!!

[deleteriousenigma]

man i hope she comes out

to Australia on the next album.

love her soo much.

[paulelli5a]

and maybe over to nz too !!

[surfininalaska]

i love her odd twitching in the beginning xD

[AskMyPsychiatrist]

i love the way she sways -- it's almost zombie-like :)

[RussellTheLMuscle]

brave truthful and refreshing

[sparklysparks77]

She dances a little like Master Yoda at the beginning of the song... lol sorry, I had to say it... She could easily be the girl left alone at the prom, and I would be the creep so ready to prey upon her...

[hoganiswrestling]

Hahahaha...

Good Shit

[jher8865]

she's amazing <3

[franklefart2000]

*sigh*

If she were a dude and I a gal, I would sooooo have her babies.

[fluffyanddarklilpea]

!!!AAAHHHH!!!!<#<#<#<#

[franklefart2000]

Lol, I love her dances.

They make my day.

<3 Fiona

[pancakeorama]

Love this song more and more!

[ellier0215]

She's amazing and has a funny dance!!

[pierrelucpierreluc]

She is so intense. Great live performance.

[fransoclose]

Fiona is the BEST. Simpy the best!

THAT's ALL!

I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[xMichieFISHIE]

Me and my friend always sing this song its so catchy ! Once you know the lyrics

[nygrrl99]

Awesome performance!

[yattla]

song is called 'used to love him'

[Kbiddy42]

Tymps (The Sick In The Head Song)

[lauralikes]

that's the limewire title, rofl

[07MustangGT]

That was the original title, it was changed before the official release of the album.

Nebody know what a tymp is? lol

[pierbert]

Yep, "Tymps (sick in the head song") was the original title to the song, not a "limewire title".

The only time I have ever heard the word "tymp" be used is in regard to something to do with a drum... But I don't that is why she named it that. It's not a real word, so maybe she just made it up lol.

[EnigmaComposer]

lol you're probably thinking of a shortform of "timpani" which is a large percussion instrument (a huge ass drum). Definitely not what Fifi was thinking of lol

[INTJ24]

n. 1. (Blast Furnace) A hollow water-cooled iron casting in the upper part of the archway in which the dam stands.

Tymp

a real word

[lcbell8]

There is also "tympanic membrane" which = ear drum. I think that is where she is getting the "sick in the head" part, kind of. Like tymps is a disease that goes through the ear and effects the brain in concerns to love - like she says in her lyrics. That is my best guess... The next time someone gets to interview her, they really need to ask this question.

[dontpanic412]

I know. I read an interview with Fiona. Tymp is her nick name for David Blaines magical penis.

[OcnRckr]

haha...no.

[OcnRckr]

lol sorry about that....AWESOME PERFORMANCE!

[murmurs9685]

She looks so intense when she performs. :)

[Somesinger]

the woman is just brilliant. he's pretty brilliant himself, too.

[goodnightlila]

she's so intense

i wish i performed even half as good as her.

[calamathy]

Fiona has got to be one of the greatest live performers to have ever lived.

[elise6565]

love fionna way to go girl!!!!!!

[dendenlcabubas]

sung with such conviction.luv fiona

[ocamontezco]

si alguien tiene fuerza es esta niña y costello bueno muy acertados creo que es una osadia esta cancion muy buena

[Arinozian]

wow, that blew me away... way better than the album version

[DesiresDelirium]

wahahahaha i love her she is sooo angry and insane, look how she snaps *o*

[user93215]

did anyone hear the leaked version of extraordinary machine (whole album)? i think i got it off kazaa or sumthin....

[farrincita]

i like it! me gusta el ritmo y doro a Fiona, esta mdeia crazy pero me gusta ella es una melodia!

[notacoolname0]

does anyone got it on audio?

thanx

[farokisking]

this is a better version that the CD.....love her dances, she rocks

[bhartzer1]

Interesting video, thanks for sharing. I had to watch this several times!

[jlnchris3]

i love her.

[carolinda84]

...And keep on letting him change all my plans

I'm either so sick in the head

I need to be bled dry to quit

Or I just really used to love him...

she's ...just Fiona!

[klotylda]

maybe it's a cliche but she's extraordinarily talented.

[taurusborn87]

Though this is totally irrelevant and I love the video, but if I were a lesbian, I'd want to be with her sad badly...I'm in love with her :D

[HoneyKristin]

Me too

:D

[Saar555]

If I sang a song called Tymps (the sick in the head song).. I think I would dance just like her in this video. She's amazing <3

[nk972003]

Maybe touretts and OCD? anyway still a great song

[theoneishere1]

tourets is when when people cant controll what they are saying

[GayGranny]

Not all of the time. It can also affect your movements. I don't think she has it, though. I think she just dances a little weird. Oh, well.

[FionanMazzy]

there is something about this vid that it will not play for me. I've been coming back to it for weeks, and at four seconds it stops and will not resume. I've had no trouble with any other video on youtube, grrrrrrrrrr........... this couldn't happen with some guy pretending to explode on mentos and coke, no it has to be fiona and elvis.... whatever I'll keep trying!

[theoneishere1]

refresh

[FionanMazzy]

Thanks ;) Don't think I didn't try that... However, I came back a couple days ago, and it finally went straight through without even flinching... All's well that ends well right? You know how it is, you want something more when you can't have it, and that's what was happening to me with this video ;)

[projectpornopatrol]

be still Fiona XD

[gymman1031]

Thanks for the video! Did you know that Squeeze, from the same genre of music, is going to be touring North America in the Summer of 2007 and the UK later in the year? Tickets for the North American dates are available on the Ticketmaster website.

[eramuse2290]

She is so adorably neurotic. Her new CD is freakiing AWESOME!

[squirtgunrobbery]

haha. she always looks so ADD. i think she has it. she has something. she talked about it once.

but she always shakes and like... makes really weird movements.

[DaveIrie]

She's a genius, that's where it comes from I think

[meganlynn888]

Amen!!!

[Distractions88]

Its not that great. But its alright.

[2quickkicks]

She's just too adorable!

[knicoal]

was that dancing? I thought she had tourette's!  :P

[DysonSlice]

yo...if i got to perform onstage with Elvis Costello i would probably crap my pants

[aemitt]

Flawless.

[dunplaeh]

this performance was especially amazing. She still got it! I love that out of all artists from the late 90's, she still has the magic. :]

[DaveIrie]

She's actually better now imo, more mature

[squirtgunrobbery]

yeah.i think she has ocd. but that wouldnt effect her jutting.

she still makes weird movements. her little arm dances. haha. she's neurotically cute.

[tesslouise]

i love her. her voice is amazing. and i love how they did this song

[lupolina]

may I get the link as well?

[jungrrlist]

yes please

[lcbell8]

are you wanting the link too???

[mashedeple]

I'd like to have the link as well, please. :)

[malilah07]

i think i like her live more than on cd. but either way;fiona is aMAZING.

[Thump311]

Anyone seen a good video recording of "I Want You" with Fiona and Elvis? Their version together is haunting and incredible.

[belinda72880]

I love that version! They need to bring it back to youtube.

[lcbell8]

Yeah, I know where you can see it. I'll try sending you a message by youtube (I haven't done one before, so hopefully it'll work).

[felmotes]

will you send me a link too?

[lcbell8]

Yeah. They have it up on youtube again, but I'll still give you a message. All the "I want You"s seem to go missing.  I would just put the address on here, but every time I try to add the message they don't add it...

[nexthoudini]

will you send me a link too?

[lcbell8]

lol. yes. I will send anyone a link that wants one. It is on youtube again, but not in as good quality, and as have happened before it can come off of youtube.

[lcbell8]

Nevermind, about "I Want You" being on youtube again. they took it down, again. If anyone wants the link, just contact me through youtube or whatever. It takes a bit of a process to get there, but it isn't that bad.
