Fiona Apple 因她的抑郁，悲伤和愤怒而出名。她热衷于将自己的失败的恋爱经历写成一首一首叙述诗一样的‘情歌’。

她的成长经历（创伤），到第一张专辑Tidal问世后所遭遇的一系列media scrutiny，都很能反映当时，甚至是现在男权社会的zeitgest。

她知道她自己的Depression/Anxiety (To your love），她知道自己的自毁倾向（A mistake, Fast as you can)。面对Abusive relationship, 有时候她可以‘turn fingers into a fist', 但有时候也只能 ‘sitting and singing again'。但是无论如何，她都知道自己是谁，所以她的歌曲总是超越了’爱情’这一个主题‘，就像专辑名称一样Your mind is your might, 只有真正认识了自己才能在经过“爱情”反反复复的毒打之后，依旧能'it's ok, you don't need to say it'一样去爱一个人。

所以有时候我在想，Fiona其实从来都不是一个易碎的Persona，就像第一张专辑里Sullen girl所写的那样，but it's calm under my wave, in the blue of my oblivion. 她所反映的女性色彩就像tidal一样，有高有低，and you can never fight it or break it.

Fast as you can和paper bag绝对是两个高光时刻。

Fast as you can到bridge节奏突然慢下来，发现原来一个自毁的人格下面藏了一颗脆弱的渴望被呵护的灵魂。

Paper Bag第一段第二段的比喻是当时的Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have.
