Lyrics:
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

![Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
People with an ear for music, all in the know, know.. Fiona Apple is UP THERE as the one of the best talents in modern music history.
I've known since i was 12 and i bought her first album with my birthday money.
So true, been a huge fan since her first album. She's one of my all time faves.
She's almost as good as Slowdive
Perfect statement
Fiona is such a phenomal songwriter it's insane.. the fact that twenty years into her career and she managed to have the most critically acclaimed album last year. This is genuine talent. There's something running in her veins and I'm just so happy to live in a world where she exists
"everything good i deem too good to be true. everything else is just a bore" - gosh, she just.. knows
For me it's the, "everything I have to look forward to has a pretty painful and very imposing before.."
I love the mechanics of this song. It really sways like you're on a boat. The video perfectly fits the atmosphere of the song, and not just the sailor reference. This is art.
Good for hula hooping, too!
It reminds me of the illustrations done by the children's book illustrator Brett Helquist
I hadn't noticed the nautical feel here. What struck me as feeling nautical is Jonathan and the drum intro to Left Alone. I don't know why.
@Kai McCook Intriguing! Maybe there's a way to test the theory: does it explain something that can't otherwise be explained? Here's something that I don't know how to explain: why is it O'Sailor like an Irish name, not "O sailor" or "Oh, sailor"?
It irritates me that some people that are Fiona fans say this song sucks... ARE YOU KIDDING?! One of her best
+1
Wait, what?
Well, are they really Fiona's fans? Everybody is free to have their opinion but how can one claim to be her fan and bash this song? It doesn't make sense...
@@gorettnabuco5264 agreed thank you
WHAT, THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THE EXRAORDINARY MACHINE ALBUM!
Fiona Apple helped me cope with having a shitty boyfriend, especially this song. Not even a mathematical genius could count how many tears I shed to this track alone. Safe to say, I cut him out of my life around a week ago, and I feel the best I have in months.
edit: I love you Fiona!
hugs to you
Congratulations! Enjoy your freedom.
Fiona Apple's voice is like honey to my ears. Yes, even when she sings rough. I want it all.
slow like honey?
Arkinight Oh-ho! Good one ;)
Heavy with mood. :-)
. cmmnt based bynd measure. ths n ur gto pfp. nw t b.this yr^
This is one of the greatest melodies of the past few decades. Fiona is a genius.
Junto a Regina Spektor.
The best. Of the best
The chord progression in this song is odd and awesome I never tire of it....
Her chord progressions are amazing.
Very Jazz inspired, thank God for African American creativity!
@@notabadword4026 Well she IS part Af Am….
She's in a league of her own.
For sure, indefinitely*)
Yes
"Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before"
That is so true for me.
One of my very best friends who was a Navy shipman commited suicide in 2007 and this song reminds me of him so much. I miss you, Mike.
My condolences.
I had a buddy named mike who was in the navy and killed himself in 2007, too. Last initial was "I", wonder if it's the same one...
That piano riff is so catchy and decadent. I've been in love with it since Extraordinary Machine came out and will always come back
"By the boards..." She said this was an old term from sailing days, to throw something overboard, to not care about it as you sailed away from it. "By the boards..."
Brian Kehew For me, this is one of her songs referring most directly to her rape... He basically destroyed her life, throwing everything that she then was or could have become, "by the boards", making her feel like she's missing something now... This is such a superb and touching song!
I highly doubt this was directly inspired by her rape. Even Fiona has said she's been frustrated by people assuming every song of hers has something to do with that.
John Johnson I'm not saying all are, I'm just talking about that one... The lyrics seems so obvious to me... And most of her songs actually are not about this, you're right!
Great work on this album, Brian.
@@spaceboy2095 how lazy of an assumption. Even Fiona has said that trauma is such an old pain it's boring. Literally nothing in those lyrics insinuates rape. Please dive deeper.
Not only she writes brilliant, poetic lyrics but also she turns out to be painfully beautiful.
She has proven herself ageless, she has proven us there is no better wordsmith in our time than her, she has proven us that art is what one leads it to be. Fiona is everything. I don't want to sound like a stan, but there is no other way to talk about this woman and the craft she does without sounding in love with every single thing she breaths out.
Tidal, When The Pawn, Extraordinary Machine are all masterpieces. I would like to see Fiona work with Jon Brion again.
The Idler Wheel and Fetch The Bolt Cutters are definitely not for everyone, but I love them.
I just think she’s developed her own style and sound with her last couple of albums. If she ever makes another album I don’t expect her to look back. And honestly, her last two are my favorites. So, I wouldn’t want her to look back.
Michael. ...yes I totally agree absolutely
@@liteflightify have to agree with Michael. ....own sound on her last 2 albums?? Hmmm, nah
I think those latter are superb!
The latter are her most creative and funnest. I really hope she continues with doing her own thing even tho her first three are phenomal as well, they're more pop-ish
She looks so great and healthy here, it makes me happy
THIS SONG HAS A BEAUTIFUL KIND OF EDGAR ALLAN POE ATMOSPHERE.
Yes, I agree. Pin-up.
Nice remark. I love her outfit, hair and makeup here...she truly looks like a ghostly vision on an abandoned ship!
Wow good point fosgeno. I couldn't agree more with your comment.
Whats!????
Didí Dylan - Peña yes. Lol that reminds. That awesome horror film called Ghost Ship
I love the raw emotion in her voice.
I'm undecided about you again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double-sided, 'cause I ruined it all
But also saved myself by never believing you, dear
Everything good I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
I have, too, been playing with fifty-two cards
Just 'cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do but spend my best?
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
All the other stuff tired itself out first, and not me
And in its wake, appeared the touch and call
Of a different breed
One who set to get me wise, and got me there
And then, got me
Oh, what a thing, to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Giving me eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it?

Saying there's nothing to it

O' sailor, why'd you do it?

Everything good I deem too-good-to-be-true, everything else is just a bore. 💓😓
My generations great original queen. I’ve been a fan for 25 years. We love you Fiona. Don’t ever forget that. Thanks for the new album.
Greatest female musician ever. True art, uncompromised.
I wouldn't go that far lol
@liquidbleach2207 for "musician" I'm not so sure, but in the "singer songwriter" category she really is a huge candidate. Very few people (like Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, and PJ Harvey) could actually rival her. And even then her lyrics might win against them all.
This genius makes other musicians wonder if they should continue to be the musicians. Period.
ahmi kim Yes. Her melodies and chord structures are way too cool to be consistently mainstream, but some of us musicians appreciate exactly what she's doing. SHE'S WAY BEYOND ME!
So many GREAT unknown indie singers & bands. The fun part is the discovery :D
@Naz "And that's all...or 'it'..'nothing more to say' ".
She's a phenomenon.
Musician here. Can confirm.
I remember lining outside a music store for the midnight release of this album. I think the last album I ever did this for before iTunes
Usually, the bridges she writes for her songs are incredible, but this one is out of this world
I love the crunchy piano chords.
How can that song feel so personal to me, to you and you, and yes to you too? Well, that must be what real poetry is, don't you think?
Just got into her music, deep dive into her discography, she is now my fav artist ever
its a shame her music s gone somehow unnoticed because she is unique and amazing in every possible way. I just found out about her last year and Ive been crazy listening to her songs I got all of her albums. I love her
It's our secret 👌❤️
I bet if she did music during the 1960s-1980s she would be a big deal.
The music industry just sucks today for not making her a big deal and other really good singers/songwriters. Fiona is only know for her hit song called Criminal 😔
John6yt but I agree with you. Her albums have been doing very well. So at least that's something
She is not unnoticed
I like it that way. She’s our secret.
By far my favorite Fiona Apple song, the piano and drums here are just fantastic and her singing and lyrics fit the music so perfectly
If you told me I could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life it would be easy: this princess
No 😔 ne a s as creatively honest forthright and a self awareness unequaled from her teens and for om then on
I don’t know why this album doesn’t get love from fans
Doesn't it? This is my favorite album of hers.
@@meenaksi1082
people call it her worst album, her only bad one
I don’t think it’s even given a chance
it’s definitely an album one has to grow to enjoy.. has some of my favorites
@@hugoparis7606 I see. My experience was quite different. But then again, I first listened to this album after a horrendous breakup (it must have been a few days) and it saved my soul.
@@meenaksi1082 haha same here actually , fiona makes the best break up songs that actually help heal. that’s why oh well is one of my favorites ever
She is so unbelievably stunning in this video!!! God i adore this woman!!!!!! A talent like her will never exist again she is a genius!!!
I'll always admire her for the speech she gave when accepting an award-- she spoke to her young fans and she said "You're important-- you think we're important (meaning celebrities) but we aren't. You're important." Meaning 'in your lives you count don't lose sight of that-- thinking about fame or whatever." It was pretty touching. And I remember some commentators acting like she was crazy. They were half-wits, whose only subject was who's famous and who isn't.
Such a gorgeous song, a work of art. Fiona makes music that never fails to inspire me. Thank you for getting your artwork out there.
I have a huge crushed on her since criminal, her eyes, her expressions, the way that she moves, damn...
Oh Damn, Criminal what a song and what a video man.
She’s just been diffferent this entire time. No one can compare
I can only say, thank u Fiona apple for making this album, I listened to it every day when I was 8 years old and now that I'm 21, it feels interesting now that I'm an adult, I can relate to every song on the album, I love u Fiona.
fiona's got a classic,soulful almost bluesy/jazz-like feel to her voice.completely original and epic.its such a shame that she is so underrated.she is a wonderful songwriter.When the Pawn ect. (her 2nd album) was a masterpeice.i will always love you and your work fiona.you are truly epic!!...
Amazing sounds like Rock, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues mixed with a Big Band dazzle. Wow! Then that voice to die for!
One of the best female singers. Excellent video. Hoping to see new material soon.
This comment 8 yrs ago still want more music from Fiona
She have such an unique look and voice. I never get tired of her music and videos
I remember this video being on MTV in the morning in like 2005 before I went to school . Omg how time flies. I always thought the song was weird now it’s engraved in the back of my mind as a piece of nostalgia.🥺
I don't know but this should have 100,000,000 views.
I have no idea what this song is about, but the line "O sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for?" sounds so very interesting to me. Something about it makes me feel something inside. Can't explain.
Best female artist of all time
I wholeheartedly think that Fiona Apple is the best lyricist ever lived!
Dear lord i was OBSESSED when this song came out... and here I am re-fueling my obsession, again
Fiona + Floria Sigismondi, oh dear
This is one of the best videos from her. The Aesthetic is beautiful and she looks fantastic as always
fiona apple youve changed my life
I already loved this song, and now I fully feel and understand it, too. Some artists are truly gifted at expressing exactly our emotions with every word and sound. They don't just do 4-chord songs with lyrics everybody can instantly relate to because they're super vague and general, that's what a greedy pop singer does. Feelings are complex, it's never that straightforward, you will not necessarily relate until you go through something like it. Fiona has experienced complex, deep, lasting pain, you can tell just by listening that she wrote the whole song. That's a true artist.
I love the sound of Fiona Apple. I've loved her music since the 90's. Criminal was and still is one of my all time favorites.
I have all of her music, but this is the first time I have seen the video. It gave me instant inspiration for a photo shoot.
I’m living the lyrics to this song right now... Through the years, Fiona has provided to me a fantastic soundtrack to all of the heartbreak
I LOVE YOU, FIONA!!!
You are one honest artist !!!
That voice is sensual, smoky, and enchanting. I could fall into that voice forever.
This is the best Fiona Apple song IMO :)
I can remember the first time I heard this. Early morning at my parent's house many years ago. Perfectly aerie melody for a ghost ship full of ghouls. It's stuck with me all these years. It is spooky but also beautiful, like visiting a forbidden place
I absolutely LOVE the feel of her songs with this tempo. Shadowboxing is another song I have in mind. Just soooo soothing. Wow
I'm undecided about you again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double-sided, cause I ruined it all
- But also saved myself, by never believing you, Dear
Everything good, I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

was looking for this comment :-) thank you!
No other artist has more fans posting her lyrics in the comments, because they're so poetic and moving. I've loved her for a long time, I'm glad to see so many younger girls finding solace (and sometimes advice) in her songs. Thanks for posting.
When I found these lyrics I had to start the song all over again. Thank you so much for taking the time & trouble to post this gorgeous poetry of Fiona's.
She's just to perfect
This song is so unbelievable good it’s so beautiful I’m gonna cry
I Love how the whole song builds to the choris at the end.......really great song.
I remember seeing this, like, 4am on tv when i was a teenager, and thinking it was the most exquisite thing ever.
I heard and saw this video on 2005 in an Apple Bees's Grill, at night 11:30, and because this song and singer couldn't forget that beautiful night, just thinking about it chills me to the spine... Love you fiona!
the styling in this video is so perfect it makes me want to cry. it's so rare to see such great attention paid to background characters, especially men. floria sigismondi makes quality music videos.
Ugh so underrated, this song and video are great
this song isnt underrated at all. when it came out this song was all over the radio
In Belgium we have been listening to Fiona for a long time. Always with the same pleasure. Thank you also to its very good musicians.
she looks so lovely in this video :)
Fiona Apple is beautiful. She has an extraordinarily beautiful voice!!!! Love all her music!
It wasn't Criminal, this one got me into Fiona's music
I wouldn't say it flopped. It was voted the best album of 2005, and got a great deal of respect in the indie community. Just because a song isn't number one, or an album doesn't sell a million copies doesn't mean it goes unnoticed. But I don't think it would kill a few people to take notice of Fiona.
How did I not know there was a video for this song? I got the album the month it came out and have been a huge Fiona fan since 2005….
Fiona is in her OWN category as an artist! ENOUGH SAID!
this is no doubt one of my favorite songs of all time
she has always been amazing
i love this song and i love FIONA.
One of my favorites
I am so freaking happy fiona & her music exist. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Amazinng until this week i hear about her,, is a fantastic artist..astonishing
De las mejores canciones del siglo 21. Genia absoluta Fionna.
Brilliant/ genius / song / haunting/ a little dark/ arrangement/ story by Fiona Apple
2:30 best part, love that melody
Every Fiona Apple song and and every CD is perfection.
Her expressions in here makes me so sad. Just cause she looks too expressionless to not be dying inside. and the lyrics and the piano is just so morbid sounding It's so beautiful
I am a huge fan of when the pawn, tidal and extraordinary machine.
This is one of my top three favorite tunes of those records. Fiona will always remain one of my favorite vocalists and writers!
I really love that scene at 4:19 when the camera's spinning as they hold her up ...beautiful
Did anyone else just find out about her in 2014? In my opinion, she should be WAY MORE popular. She is so beautiful and sings honestly. I respect her and love her.
I like her too, but she is too weird to be mainstream successful. People can't handle different en masse. She's like that cheese in the corner of the cheese department that nobody buys, and the only way you know it's amazing is if you come across it by mistake, or someone who knows more than you recommends it.
nicksjamin1 I believe she could be mainstream, just not play on pop channels. Lana Del Rey isn't a pop musician, yet (though she isn't on the radio) a lot of people know her.
Ceyutie she was popular..... in the 90's
Ceyutie Yeah, I started to listen to her last year...I knew about her long before, but I just knew her name and that she existed... But last year, I gave CRIMINAL a try and my love started to bloom!
+Ceyutie Was a fan of hers back in the 90's when she first came out. She was very popular then.
Goddes.
Fiona Apple has the ability to make and break hearts!
The feeling that comes over me when I hear this song...I can hardly bear it! So beautiful
a class of her own
Brings me back to my high school days. This entire album expressed how I felt as a teenager. 😢
THIS WAS SHOT ON THE QUEEN MARY IN LONGBEACH.......
I was in Long Beach , Good Christians Everywhere and good Atheists and good everybody!!
Funny. I went there with my family when I was a kid.
I love Fiona! 🇧🇷
Esse clip parece um sonho!!!!!!! Amo essa musica!!!!!! QUE BELA ARTISTA!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else get big "Tidal" vibes every time the electric piano kicks in during the chorus? That descending line after "what'd you do that for?" sounds straight out of Sullen Girl...
Queen Fiona...
nobody is doing it like her.
My favorite part of this video is these cute sailor boys!!😗😙😇😍😍😍😍
