Fiona Apple - Across the universe

Across the universe

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 opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothings gonna change my world,
Nothings gonna change my world.
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings 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
Nothings gonna change my world,
Nothings gonna change my world.
Nothings gonna change my world.
Nothings 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
Nothings gonna change my world,
Nothings gonna change my world.
Nothings gonna change my world.
Nothings 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.

Fiona Apple属于另类的女子，从她1999年推出的世界上名字最长的唱片《When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter,Cuz You'll Know That You're Right》就可看出她是个很个性的女子。她还成功地翻唱了beatles的《Across the Universe》。

Fiona不甘于任凭音乐工业相强势媒体摆布。她要反戈一击，即使是以卵击石，也体验那种碰撞的快感。

Fiona Apple成长于曼哈顿，来自于一个艺术家庭，父亲是一个演员，母亲是歌手、舞蹈家、厨师和家庭妇女。父母离婚后，Apple姐妹俩和母亲一道住在纽约一座公寓里。Apple 8岁时从音乐中找到了安慰并开始学弹钢琴。在1994年高中毕业后，Apple看望了她在洛杉矶的父亲，在那她录了一盘Demo带，然后大量拷贝寄给别人。之后她回到纽约过圣诞，Apple捎了一盘带给一位老同学，这位同学在一位唱片公司老板家做保姆。接下去的事情很简单：这位老板（Kathryn Schenker）听到了Demo带，并在圣诞晚会上播给了著名制作人Andrew Slater，随后他们便开始了持续至今的合作，apple签下了Sony的合约。

《Tidal》于1996年7月出版以来，已经卖了三百多万张达到了三白金，“成功来得太快，不可思议”，Fiona说，“但这专辑对于我来说是非常重要的思想练习，它推着我前进。专辑出版后我有意不看任何有关它的评论，我不想被任何我听到的看到的东西影响，我想更进一步。”

承受着1996年的处女大碟《Tidal》的巨大成功，Fiona无法轻易地推出第二张专辑，终于直到在相距了四年后的新世纪里，她才再次推出大碟《When The Pawn …》。

《When The Pawn …》是Fiona Apple继《Tidal》之后，推出的第二张原创性极高的骚灵大碟。碟内出色的音乐编排结合了Funky的Hip-Hop节奏，专辑同时更在许多地方体现出Fiona Apple深植的爵士乐功底，难怪早在第一张大碟推出时，已经有许多评论家拿她和爵士歌手Nina Simone及Carole King相比。虽然这样的评价或许有点轻率，但大家都一致公认Apple的作品显示了一种超出年纪的成熟，精彩的歌词处处透露出Fiona深遂的思想与真情的内心独白。曾经被强暴的不幸遭遇，和那种无法为人道的屈辱、忧郁和失望感觉，虽然令她经常沉浸在暴躁和愤怒的情绪里，但透过她的作品,你会感受到，Fiona已经为你畅开了心扉，娓娓道来她的故事和真实的世界，轻而易举地建起她与歌迷之间的亲密接触。
