NICE CLIP: Fiona Apple = Not About Love



Fiona Apple Maggart, (13 de septiembre 1970, Nueva York) cantante, pianista y compositora estadounidense.

Con una infancia compleja, asistió a psicoterapia por varios años, por tendencias antisociales y un trastorno obsesivo – compulsivo. También ha confesado sufrir de anorexia nerviosa.



Con todo esto, buscó alivio y refugio en la música.

Es vegana y colabora con PETA (Personas por el Trato Ético de los Animales)



Fiona ha sido una destacada cantautora, pero su camino musical no ha estado exento de polémicas. Es conocido el incidente en los MTV Video Music Award del año 1997, cuando al momento de recibir el premio Best New Artist (Mejor Artista Nuevo) sorprende a todos con sus palabras: “This world is bullshit, and you shouldn't model your life on what you think or that we think is cool, and what we're wearing and what we're saying" (Este mundo es una porquería, y no deberían modelar sus vidas con lo que ustedes o nosotros pensamos que está genial, o por la ropa que vestimos o las cosas que decimos).



Posee una voz increíblemente versátil, su estilo es muy propio y auténtico.



Tres discos ha sacado en 15 años: “Tidal” 1996, “When The Pawn” 1999 y “Extraordinary Machine” 2005.



Con “Criminal” (corte del disco “Tidal”) se hizo conocida en el mundo entero.



El tema que he escogido "Not About Love", es del ultimo álbum a la fecha, (“Extraordinary Machine”)



This is not about love (Esto no es sobre el amor)
'Cause I am not in love (Porque yo no estoy enamorada.)
In fact I can't stop falling out… (De hecho, no puedo dejar de caer…)




Not About Love

The early cars
Already are
Drawing deep breaths past my door
And last night's phrases
Sick with lack of basis
Are still writhing on my floor

And it doesn't seem fair
That your wicked words should work
In holding me down
it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round

Conversation once colored by esteem
Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood
Took a vacation, my palate got clean
Now I could taste your agenda
While you spit in your cud

And it doesn't make sense
I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache

What is this posture
I have to stare at
That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight
Change the name of the game 'cause he lost
And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late
But I'm not being fair
'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth
But I'd like to choose right
Take all the things that I've said that he stole
Put 'em in a sack
Swing 'em over my shoulder
Turn on my heel
Step out of his sight
Try to live in a lovelier light

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I cant stop falling out

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I cant stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache
