    *An update from Fiona:* I wanted to also make clear that when I say “nope” to some questions,I’m reading off a list that is in a different order than what you sent me.
    And I’m not saying “nope” in a mean way,I’m just skipping over questions I don’t have an answer for. There are so many questions.

    Fiona is a consummate artist. Even the way she answers the questions is saturated with art. “I don’t know how to play it anymore and I don’t know how to play it anymore”.
    I aspire to be so filled with focus, and yet so at ease with chaos that she can weave so much with every fiber life gives her, making every instant another lovely braid.

    This woman is magical to me, everyday, I listen to her poetry/music, and her haunting voice, and I try to emulate her singing voice, we sing mostly in the same key, but her range is far beyond me.I understand her lyrics and what she is trying to express. People like her dont come around often, and I believe she is a gift. When Im struggling with being Bi polar or feeling anxious, or having self doubt, I sit in my room and just listen to the beauty and the soul of Fiona. Thank you for getting me through some very tough days.Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. Thank you for just being you.

    I’m just now seeing this. Never Is A Promise is one of my favorite songs of all time, like in a very serious way. It is absolutely beautiful, but the emotion, that’s my feelings in bold living color and it’s been cathartic to me at so many points in my life. I can understand that would possibly be very heavy to perform, especially over and over on tour. I’m sure you’ll never see it, but thank you so much for that song. ❤️ And PLEASE come to Nashville again!

Prince dreamed of being able to do that. Then you combine that with the greatest lyrics you can imagine, combine that with a vocal that cuts into my soul and proves that I actually have a soul. You have done it your first three albums are so far above the rest that one day they will do tributes to you. Just imagine the same 10 acts we get for every award show destroying your music what an honor.
