Topnotch.

Fiona Apple has a new album coming out soon and as such she is releasing a song to entice the general public. This is it. Tis called "Every Single Night" and it's brilliant. A sort of music box-assisted quasi-lullaby with a weirdly raucous chorusy bit that comes out of nowhere. Apple's voice and lyrics are front and centre here, with the sparse instrumentation a showcase for them:

Every single night
I endure the flight
Of little wings of white-flamed
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine
Percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
That's when the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in
Every single night's alright with my brain

Isn't that perfect? PERFECT? Pure poetry. Not entirely sure what it all means, for us to eke meanint out... well... that would involve close textual analysis (*whips out pencil, starts underlining things and writing BATHOS and LITOTES like it's A Level Eng Lit all over again*).

Anyway. Fiona also has a new album out but the title of it alone would fill up seven webpages of text so we'll save it for a different post. In the meantime, enjoy "Every Single Night" below:
