Fiona Apple - Parting Gift

[iamtwenty4]

this song will always make me think of you Liz, just "your silly stupid pass time."..sigh.

[huneybun89]

I love this song, its perfect

[greenpaperclips]

simply amazing

[theyleftusallbehind]

I wish she'd tour. I'd pay a gazillion million dollars to see her!

Amazing song. One of my favorites.

"oh, you silly stupid passtime of mine."

[NitaBMe]

"the signs said STOP but we went on whole hearted; it end bad but our love always started"

my favorite lines

I got to see her in Austin when she toured for Extraordinary Machine; Amazing emotional concert for all involved.

[theyleftusallbehind]

Gah, I envy you masssssive amounts.

[MsShinanigans]

i love fiona so much. alot of what she's saying isn't really bad or mean. it all just has to be seen from a certain point of veiw. her turns of phrase are amazing.

[bohemianrhapsody89]

her voice is like heaven

[AMPercell]

I never get tired of this song.....its one of my ultimate faves

[shelipop]

She's too long overdue for an american tour..........

[5assafras]

its not easy being a brooding overly emotional talent

:)~

[alyrababy]

just as sincere as a dog....oh i so in love with this song....

[mikefalzone]

indeed she is...shes just needs to play out. I haven't heard about her touring in forever.

[DaveIrie]

Isn't it funny how in interviews she's like "Oh I'm friends with all the guys I wrote these songs about". Could you imagine if a chick wrote this about you? 2:13

[alyrababy]

"oh you silly stupid.." yeah you right...

[yiommi]

Me too!!

[TheLordOfTragedy]

What the elephant! :>

Come to ME! :P

[tigerxlilyx]

it's so beautiful.

[poshnina]

Me tooooo...

I'm waitin for a new album !!

bRazilians fans

[maudeilenna]

waiting 4 a new album

porrrrrrr favor!

[ElizaMagazine]

Fiona is so fabulous I almost can't stand it.

[nagyaron86]

waiting for a new album...

[juboring]

Oh you silly stupid past-time of mine..!!

[1212Kitten]

Wow, I didn't realise Fiona had such a large fanbase... O_O

She's so awesome... I'm thirteen and she is still my favorite artist of all time.

My favorite by her is not about love but this is definitely in my top three.

[sorcerer1975]

i agree with you guys. only thing is, she don't release anything ... her last album was released in 05, its time for some new fiona !!! fiona apple = -3

[itsjustrust]

genius.

[JERice7]

Fiona Apple is so underrated it is pathetic. She will one day be looked upon as one of the great, classic artists of the 20th and 21st century.

[heavynaps]

i think all these comments can be conglomerated into one--she's a badass.

[dyllypickles]

favorite.

she is phenomenal.

[Cheddaface14]

She is so powerful and eloquent. love love love.

[dyllypickles]

so i can see u, see me, sincerely yelling back.

GENIUS.

[alohahola29]

I wish Fiona was interested in women too... just a little. I want her to write an angry ballad about me :)

[PiNkLoLiPoPs]

Around 1:05 when she pounds on the piano keys before saying "Oh you silly stupid past time of mine," it always scares me because it's so loud. :#

But I still love you Fifi. :)

[mhminsane]

I just cried a little. :)

[Awakenings11]

le amo a ella, necesito que sea mi novia ahora

[thelightbod]

Sincere as a dog.

[spiddia]

What a songwriter!

[colonelcobb74012]

Fiona's voice is like silk covered in honey. This song has a clean but powerful message.  The fact that Fiona and the producers elected to leave the instrumentation so uncomplicated only makes the song that much more powerful.

[JHCBMD2008]

This is magic. Fiona is one of a kind.

[Artitekto]

Amo a Fiona....lo admito....

[ChocolateCeik]

.......! merci minmin :)

[havoksmissmurder]

i love both Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple. Both respectable singers with amazing talent.

(:

this song is uber wicked. (:

[agusjoyce]

i love her!!!!!!!!!!awesome!!!

[ZoroSensei]

she is so beautiful in every way.

[emsimonsen]

mmm - big fan of Fiona. True about the feelings, don't think ive heard anyone sing so passionately as she does;)

[vikicuerva]

feel so identified with this song (L

[katastrophiclove]

this is probably my favourite song by fiona apple.

[mankyMcmankerson]

I have to agree with you, absolutely amazing. I would love to see her live, i still havent had the pleasure.

[JAMAILBUG]

saw her last year on my birthday it was great. I usualy listen to hard rock but this song is as good as it gets

[heytheremia]

I saw her a few years ago, and she was amaaaazing. Flawless!!! :) I love fiona

[schuyeee]

i don't think you can really compare fiona and regina, they're both so amazing and original...and neither get the respect or appreciation they deserve. they are true, honest, extremely talented musicians with songs that really touch the emotions.

[holycharizard]

Fiona Apple is the MOST underrated artist there is. . .U are correct about not getting the recognition she deserves...But isn't it true about the best of anything? They are usually overlooked. BTW, who the hell is Regina, I'm sure I'm overlooking her???

[schuyeee]

Regina Spektor. she's not Fiona, but she's pretty good in my opinion. and you're definitely right that all the best things are underrated...

[bloomingauthor7]

I think Regina and Fiona are most different in that Fiona channels her own feelings and experience and anger into her music, while Regina is more of a storyteller.

[manimok]

queens shouldn´t be compared .

I love both.

[dennisinterrupted]

oh wow you hit the nail on the head with that! =)

[manimok]

don´t forget the third queen : Sia furler

[ckiroshoo]

ahh i love all three.

[egelhaaf]

GREAT SONG... love fiona

[phossfore]

Love this song.

[dustinspoly]

I love this song cause it's so real. I can relate to the experience in the lyrics therefore I feel the emotion behind the musical aspect.. Real art is expression love it.

[Maxegirl1313]

this THE most lovely song!

her voice is mesmerizing!

[PaleCrysania]

It makes it easier when your heart is broken to listen to this song and others of her. I love Fiona.

[escuchatesta]

where is the real love?

[zena535]

Beautiful woman, beautiful song. I love Fiona!

[SHASTADRIVE]

sad

[lavendermariposa]

This song kept me from jumping.

[goodnightlila]

this lady is just full of break up songs

[DrownedinDreams]

I fucking love it too! I've recently split with my boyfriend and I was tearing my hair out trying to think of some break up songs to blast the walls out with; suddenly it dawned on me to just listen the entireity of her music on my ipod.

heh.

[jesselonlyheart]

kisses should be given with passion

[Gabrielle4201]

very beautiful song

[kabbagehead]

This song really moves me. The whole album is great, but this song stands out. Her lyrics are never cloying or over-sentimental. Dare I say it? She reminds me of John Lennon in terms of saying what's on her mind...

[emkiser]

anyone know where to get this piano music?

[indypie5]

i've been looking everywhere, and can't find it. i'd really love to play it!!!

[TinyWrists]

haha fifi

[INTJ24]

In the most objective way possible,

Fiona powns Regina

[Agustin1409]

son muy diferentes

[INTJ24]

es verdad

[mar10nhernandez]

"But I Love What We Started"... what a Genius!

[quimkaos]

sory but fiona has way a better voice, and i think she makes even better use of her voice than regina, like anover said with its bittersweet toutch... not saying that regina is bad tho...

[mikebtko]

You know Fiona would be more appreciated in a less dumbed-down world!

[Tinymoezzy]

yes but shamefully mikebtko the world and everything in it is kid gloved, anoverkillofeulogy2 I agree as well with you I like them both but Fionas voice moves like silk on silk.

[anoverkillofeulogy2]

Regina is different. Fiona has this bittersweet, more mature touch in her songs.

[beach05201]

I can't find the sheet music to this song at all.

[Tehkiddo]

As far as I know, the only official sheet music she released was for her first album, Tidal. Sad though - some of her songs are pretty hard to figure out by ear because of all the weird chords she uses.

[ichherzpogo]

yep, i have the Tidal sheet music :)

16 bucks, ohh yeah.

:)

[jimlobos]

I love her lyrics, they are so real, how you can start one relationship, and there are things that seems to show you you should get out of it, but you are both in love, so you both keep going, and then someday it all finally ends, but u still apreciate that moment when every thing was perfect, "I love what we started"

[dreamerofpeace]

Does anyone know where to get the sheet music for this?  I love this song so much!

[beach05201]

i love love love this song.

[3ringluv]

"i wish that i could play with

the river ashes showed me"

"did I come up for sky"?

[MISSTAKE84]

Her brother spencer directed this video........i kinda like it. i've been a fan of hers for years now and even though her last album was a bit different then her others, and it took me a few to get used to it, no matter what she does.....its brilliant!

[arracachiva]

i luv fiona omg x.x great song

[menitah]

acertadamente dolorosa es esa letra!

bien por fiona i sus hermoso talento musical

[florcinii]

me descriibeee

apenas la escucho me corre todo un escalofrio por la espaldaa

[gabrielelvira]

Great song !!!

please could somebody translate the song to the spanish ? i cannot match the phrases correctly, seems to me this song is a little confuse in its semantic form. Sorry to all, my english isn't so good.

Thanks

[LesterStone]

Great song. I love Fiona.

[AztekTrip]

amazing... beautiful song.

[fuzmiq]

what can be said. that hasn't already been said about this woman?

[danvarg]

la amo demasiado, realmente la cancion, explica como pocas, ese sentimiento de despecho...

love ya fiona...thank u!!!

[CatsAndRabbits]

Don't call her Fifi. Regina definitely beats her in my opinion, but this is a cool song.

[memoriesinphotos]

if you hear her older stuff, you'll get hooked. regina spektor is just starting out, fiona apple has years on her. but i also like spektor aswell.

[clau3105r]

no way! regina is not al pasioned and involved in her lyrics as her, she is more like ironicaly sad but keepig her distance from the feeligs she talking about. she is great anyway

[WashedOYS]

yay! you call her fifi too!

[lucypagran]

beau-ty-ful. thanks for posting.

[manimok]

No singer compareable, - perhaps

only Regina, you know Regina Spektor,

can keep up with her. -

So never mind - I love both.

[freakynation]

ops, yeah you're right

sorry i was quite High while writing last time!

The sign...

[lastposter]

It is a tribute to her past beaus.

[freakynation]

she really is AMAZING!!

THIS SONG is so sad and makes me feel so great...

they said stop, but we went on double hearted, we ended bad but i love how we started...just great

[wrabbycakes]

its not double its whole hearted

[gls093]

that was wonderful. i love how she's always natural.

[laleldon]

i aBSOLUTLY lOVE it!!!

[Mathiu36]

A-WE-SO-ME

[mattmicr0]

Why not instead of daydreaming about this guy, kissing and arguing with her... doesn't she just tell him she's got a crush on him?

I'll never understand Fiona and her big gigantic neurosis about guys.

[lcbell8]

I don't think you understood what the song is about. it isn't about having a crush on some one. It is about being in a relationship with someone and then breaking up with them. The relationship was fun during the beginning and they should have probably stopped it there, but they kept going and then it ended bad.

[youmakemehappyinside]

she is so awesome! She sounds so classic in this song.

[onthewrocks]

definitely one of my favorites. i love every song on extraordinary machine. the song extraordinary machine is actually what really got me into her. and everything about that album is just perfect.

the paper bag video is AMAZING. fiona is my life.

[robvedder]

This song helped me get over a previous relationship.

Simply beautiful.

[rashef18]

simply perfect, just don't know if it makes me happy or sad, but excellent still

[roseiswriting]

its great that her videos never overpower her music.

[galvestonian]

No one better , definitley no one sexier .

[patriciaprincipi]

She's just excelent. Her lyrics are poems, sometimes really sad onces, but, damn, she a great musician.

[Tehkiddo]

I've found that most songwriters usually have one main strength: they are excellent at composing music, or they are excellent at writing lyrics. It's rare to see somebody who is brilliant at both... Fiona is great.

[falloutboyIOH5]

probably my favorite song of hers.. it flows so well.. and there is just little things about it that you fall in love with

[mixboy16]

amazing song!!! but the one i really love is I KNOW from the when the pawn album

though EM is her best album by far

[joerogan123]

Waltz is over all the best song

[gypsycafe]

Better Version of me and this song are my favourite on EM

[chistophersaylor]

I LOVE that embarassed looking smile she gave at the end ! God i love this song too.

I think the top faves from Extraordinary Machine are:

Oh Well

Parting Gift

Tymps

Waltz

[suerose9]

What a great song, her lyrics are good, very original.

[drizstik]

This song IS most definitely THE BEST! This has been my favorite song from E.M. since the leak! It's so beautiful.

*muahs* Fiona!

-d r i z s t i k r.xs

[fickleperson]

Eu amo qd ela sorri.

Eh lindo. ^^'

[smilelikeadork77]

this song is the besttttt!!!!

[blue7530]

i love these lyrics.

[TractorFeet]

I love this song!... I can't stop listening to this track

[Icyboy82]

This song and Love Ridden are my two fave Fiona songs of all time.

[wrabbycakes]

this is a great viedo
