Fiona Apple "Across The Universe" Video



Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru de va, jai guru de va
jai guru de va, jai guru de va
jai guru de va.

Jai guru de va, jai guru de va.

The video for Across The Universe is the first Fiona video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, for the soundtrack of the movie Pleasantville, and of course the original is a Beatles song.

Fiona Apple "Limp" Videos





You wanna make me sick;
You wanna lick my wounds,
Don't you, baby?
You want the badge of honor when you save my hide
But you're the one in the way
Of the day of doom, baby
If you need my shame to reclaim your pride
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; got off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand
You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; get off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand

Limp was the second single from Fiona's second album "When The Pawn..."
the video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

About working with Fiona on her videos PT Anderson said:

"While we like working together and obviously benefit from it, we're aware of the super-couple stigma. We are consciously "trying to keep a slightly low profile because we realize that we would hate us. We want to stick to the work. I wanted to direct Fiona Apple videos before I went out with Fiona, so generally what we do is do cool videos together and keep our mouths shut about them."


The second video is Fiona's performance of the song on Saturday Night Live on
Feb/19/00.

Fiona Apple "Fast As You Can" Videos










I let the beast in too soon, I don't know how to live

Without my hand on his throat; I fight him always & still

O darling, it's so sweet, you think you know how crazy

-How crazy I am

You say you don't spook easy, you won't go, but I know

And I pray that you will

-Fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me

Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm but I'll soon grow

Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win

My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will

Disprove your faith in man

So if you catch me trying to find my way into your

Heart from under your skin

-Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift

But most of the time, it does

And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift

Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was

And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift

And you give me some more of your drugs

Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift

'cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,

Just need a little because, because

I let the beast in and then;

I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon

So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again.

And for a little while more, I'll soar the

Uneven wind, complain and blame

The sterile land

But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear

I'm blooming within

Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out

Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about

Fast as you can leave me, let this thing

Run it's route

Fast as you can



Fast As You Can is the first single from Fiona Apple's second album "When The Pawn"

and was directed by her then boyfriend movie director/screen writter Paul Thomas Anderson.

The second video is a live performance of the song that was included in the dual disc version of Fiona's album Extraordinary Machine (2005), featuring Jon Brion and Nickel Creek' Chris Thile.

I Thought It Was A Bird, But It Was Just A Paper Bag



I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began it's downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,' - he said
"It's all in your head,' and I said, "So's everything' -
But he didn't get it - I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Fiona Apple
Paper Bag
WHEN THE PAWN...
1999
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

Continuing with my Fiona Apple celebration I'm posting this video for the song
'Paper Bag', because not only is one of my favorite songs, is also one of my favorite videos.
A while ago I listened to an interview Fiona did exclusively for Itunes where she talked about how the story and title for this song is very literal,
because one day she was in a car with her dad, saw a plastic bag and thought it was a bird, of course being a vegan when she wrote the song she changed it to paper,
hahahahaha
