An artist who represents everyone who refuses to sell out...artistically, morally or personally.
Brava and thanks, Fiona.
@@Antechynus Complete sellout and talent had dried up.
@Tattletale RED
Agreed!
well thought-out... compassionate message intelligently articulated... among an array of frivolous comments...10q. You are a breath of fresh air. ❤
Like her music or not I'm not really sure why she's a sellout. She basically ruined her career speaking her mind a long time ago. Whether you agreed with her or not she still did it. Fans still like her. She's not trying to be what everyone else is. Where's the sellout part?
Not true.
@@co4377 nope.
fetch the bolt cutters? oh you mean the best album i’ve ever listened to? the album that fills me with rage, sadness, and joy at the same time?
Fiona is as vital as ever. She always stands a head above other artists. She's got it, whatever it is.
integrity and talent
FTB: hands down one of the very best complete albums I've ever listened to. I can't not listen to every single song.
Agree
when the pawn is pretty fucking awesome too...I dare say its better sorry
The title track alone made me feel again.
Fiona Apple is the least pretentious genius I have ever heard speak. You can tell with everything in her body she does not think she is anything special. It’s amazing and refreshing.
She is the most genuine and true to herself artist I have ever seen. One of the most important artists of this era.
We need more artists like Fiona.
I'm in tears. This album has helped me so, so much right now. We love you, Fiona xoxo
My feelings exactly. I think she does, but I hope she knows how many people she touches with her music. Life is so much better bc of it.
Never censor your tears love .. I feel the same on so many levels..
Same. I lost my mom in 2020, listening to the album helped me cope with it.
Thank you for acknowledging our Indigenous People and Natives👊🏽👊🏼✌️
What an excellent piece of journalism. Democracy Now should be proud of this interview, Fiona should be proud of her album, and we should all go buy it and help their causes! What an amazing album it is.... I've been a fan since "Shadowboxer" and this was like finding her music for the first time all over again. The praise is truly worthy.
Fiona is such an incredible human being. I look up to her and her work. This interview was fantastic. Thank you for teaching me about Seeding Sovereignty and their important cause.
There is so much more you can learn! And it is so very important that people push to learn more and ask..ask.. Ask questions..to save some..we have to save all! They will say.. "All lives matter".. But All lives can not matter until.. literally ALL lives matter! And so many are blind to this because they simply don't believe they can be educated any further.. Shame.. Thank you for your live and support!
Fiona is the only "celebrity" or artist I've followed from the beginning of their career who keeps pulling huge, surprising feelings out of me. Her compassion for others and herself is contagious. She's such a gift to the world. I keep loving her more.
What a lovely coincidence, I was just listening to Every Single Night on repeat and here is the lady herself. Looking forward to new music!
I love that song
I too some nights listen to her music over and over. Puts you in a great spot between being at ease and being in motion for the next day. So glad that she seems to come out of her shell with each project more and more, and just do the sound that was always hers, always there, just carefully bursting out. And this interview shows the same boldness of her early days but more mature at the same time, if that makes sense. It's truly great to listen to this artist.
This album...wow. Just wow. Fiona, how can you be such a genius. It’s INCREDIBLE.
Wow, Eryn Wise SLAYS the last word. Also, kudos to whoever did the research before this interview!!!!
Thank you so much for this interview with two incredibly strong and powerful women. 💝
I'm so glad that you are passionate about this topic.
In a league of her own ...she’s fantastic
Totally
she is a crazy genius
man with all of the acclaim surrounding this album (and the already existing fame and accolades Fiona has received throughout her career) it would be so easy to become egotistical yet no matter what Fiona has remained TRULY authentic, humble and concerned for others that's why I will always love and be inspired by her
Amy looks so happy with this show!! Nice to see your smile again Amy. Thank you Fiona we need real music with real thoughts now.
This album has touched me. Kick me under the table!
I won’t shut up
Thank You..... For the bolt cutters
Still in love with Fiona-always will be.
Best album I've heard in years... Congrats Fiona Apple...we need some good music now more than ever ...
GIVE INDIGENOUS LANDS BACK NOW!
And let the israelites go
@@charlesscott27 STOP TROLLING BUTTHURT
In the midst of the 6th mass extinction it's vital humanity support the indigenous people. We are all one race & they're vital for the survival of our species.
Show some respect. ✌️❤️
@@charlesscott27 stupid trumptard
@@MB-yl9hm sounds like a good start. Reperations would be good too. But don't you worry your little head our it. Racist america will never act like it isn't racist. This country was founded on genocide and racism. Like most places Europeans "discovered" and destroyed with their missionaries and soldiers.
You did study history, eh?
what a great interviewer, great questions, really engaging and so so inspiring for me to see an artist as brilliant as Fiona talking about these issues that are profoundly important to me as an Indigenous person. love and blessings to her and the wonderful people at Seeding Sovereignty, all their great work ❤️🌈
A powerfully honest and courageous woman! 👊🏽😡👍🏼
Long live the Navajo Nation! And, all the Indian Nations!
GO GO Algonquins!!!!
yá'át'ééh 🙌🏽🩸🙌🏽
@@polimana yááttééh! Sweet angel!
Yaahtteeh!
Such a great record. Really surpriced me - I've always liked Fiona Apple, but aside from individual great songs mostly from her first two albums, I've preferred her covers. But listening to this album on CZcams a couple of times through, convinced me to purchacse the digital copy+cd+booklet, and have it sent to me here in Finland. Been a long time since I've been moved to buy a physical copy of an album.
Nice to see her interview here on Democracy Now! 👍
I think this album is a natural progression from the album before this one (The idler wheel…)!
@Clairvoyante How so? Or are you just trolling?
@@Innocent_Villain Of course they are trolling since they probably come on this channel all the time and say silly stuff like that, regardless who they're interviewing.
We need more Indigenous Journalists as well
Thank you do much for sharing your beautiful art, I'm 34 and have literally grown up with your albums, my 20s were fraught with heartbreak coming in perfect time with idler wheel and now with two kids and the fire in my belly burning bright, suffering from debilitating disorders including anxiety me and my 1yo Vivienne love to dance barefoot in the backyard to fetch the bolt cutters the primal beats, your powerful vocals, so strong so fragile at times, it just came like a gift at the perfect 👌 time. I'm just so grateful to you ❤ love always fiona, from Jessica and Brian Millington, he and I had the honor of seeing you live in va Beach for the extraordinary machine tour, we had been dating a few years at that point and now we have 2 kids, one is 9! Gosh time flies, love you to the moon! Oh! And that Kate Bush homage? Whatever you call it I about peed myself I was so happy 😊
Shared the old documentary with my daughter. Fiona, she's great.
That Bolt cutter tattoo is awesome, be cool if that became the iconic sign for these times we are living in. Just a thought
Fiona - you look healthy and beautiful! Can't wait to check out the new album.
Actually, she looks haggard.
@HOSTILE MGTOW she actually spoke about how she was into coke and then a bad night with her boyfriend and Tarantino got her to quit. Fiona has always been super skinny so... I think its just age. Though I believe she's still smokes weed
She just got sober. She’s healthy. Calm down and let’s see how your face looks under crap lighting and no filter silly human.
Actually I was struck and worried by how bad she looked -- haggard, older than her years and a strange color to her skin. Hope she's well.
She's like 43, though...not a teenager anymore.
It’s really an amazing album.
Shameika says I have potential ✨
You look gorgeous today, Amy! Thank you for another AWESOME broadcast!
This TV host was asked how many times she would want to say 'Fetch the Bolt Cutters'?
She: yes
Wow... It's so wonderful to see Fiona speaking out about so many issues during a time when we all need it. I was really moved by all of this. People like her and like Eryn are reason to have hope for humanity. I also felt inclined to donate to Seeding Sovereignty after watching this and encourage others to do so if you can.
Never listened to Fiona until today. Really wonderful music. Thank you for the interview with her.
Eryn Wise is superb in this interview. She is exceptionally well-spoken. Thank you.
Fiona is so deep. Like she's too deep for this planet.
wow i'm getting all these interviews from Fiona. So BLESSED
Fascinating interviews, thanks DN! Fiona Apple is so human and relatable, that she's a singer-songwriter becomes incidental.
Great interview! Thank you!
This is the first Fiona Apple album that i am late finding out about. i have been onto EVERY album since 1996/1997 and i own all but this one. i’m not sure how i feel about “Bolt Cutters”. The songs aren’t arresting me at first listen.
erin is incredibly articulate
Wonderful ❣️ interview. Thank you so much.
Towards the end when Eryn Wise acknowledges Fiona’s LGBTQ fans, and Fiona beams, I love that!
I hated that part.
MrGenedancingmachine why? Because you're straight?
gmawneydawgness why do I need a reason? Just voicing my feelings, exactly like you...
MrGenedancingmachine there's always a reason. I venture to guess you're homophobic. Willing to bet on it, actually
gmawneydawgness
I missed your reason tho?
You don’t need to give a reason, I don’t need to give a reason.
Equal.
I believe in equality, do you?
Fetch The Bolt Cutters is a Masterpiece
BEST interview I’ve heard in ages...
This is amazing. My two favs!
I have listened to this album every single day since its release. She is still an absolute genius.
She was my first concert ...at the boathouse...in Virginia
So so so good!!!! Thank you very much for all of this!!!
Such a perfect interview. I cried the whole way through it.
I was not expecting this but I'm glad she did this interview!
Amy Goodman + Eryn Wise + Fiona Apple = Stunning and remarkable display of Conscious, Empowering, Compassionate, Brilliant Humans
I hope you can tour Ireland when this crap is over! Love the new album!
Yea me too 🇮🇪 but not looking likely 😫😫😫 the arts are fucked
I would love to see her do something with this beautiful man called Hozier might have met him a few times. I mean, they give us so much!!! Would be epic- she's so brilliant!!❤❤❤
One awesome human.....so authentically wonderful! ❤️
❤️
on the title track I got Lou Reid/Jim Carroll vibe I love it!!! It's so bright- the chorus!!! You can tell she's healing & that's a ridiculous amazing honor, to grow into yourself and share that is something almost other wordly. Just a profound honor to allow us this extraordinary glimpse. Okay I'm out of words I love you Fiona! I will do what I can to help the indigenous people 2!
Now this is the kind of content I like to see. I LOVE Fiona apple since her 90’s MTV days. ♥️
I am overwhelmed!
Gifts. Fiona Apple.
I really admire her for continually drawing the conversation back to the indigenous communities and those issues whenever she has the opportunity. She’s so passionate and so fucking smart and I’m so thankful for her music and her efforts towards this cause.
From the late eighteenth century through the end of the Civil War, Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians bought, sold, and owned Africans and African Americans as slaves, a fact that persisted after the tribes' removal from the Deep South to Indian Territory. The tribes formulated racial and gender ideologies that justified this practice and marginalized free black people in the Indian nations well after the Civil War and slavery had ended. Through the end of the nineteenth century, ongoing conflicts among Choctaw, Chickasaw, and U.S. lawmakers left untold numbers of former slaves and their descendants in the two Indian nations without citizenship in either the Indian nations or the United States. In this groundbreaking study, Barbara Krauthamer rewrites the history of southern slavery, emancipation, race, and citizenship to reveal the centrality of Native American slaveholders and the black people they enslaved.
Krauthamer's examination of slavery and emancipation highlights the ways Indian women's gender roles changed with the arrival of slavery and changed again after emancipation and reveals complex dynamics of race that shaped the lives of black people and Indians both before and after removal.
Praying for the protection of Native American/ Indigenous tribes during this pandemic. 📿
I’m hoping they particularly get destroyed and everywhere else is fine
@@MrGenedancingmachine Wow. More' s the pity, you have wasted all of your life.
G Alessi how do you know?
I Love Fiona's Work so much. It is so honest and real.
Let's go!
Viva la revolution!
(the underground is now)
Saw Fiona when Tidal came out it was a short but epic show. She ended with Angel by Jimi❤️. Tidal is still my favorite album of hers, but everything she does feels exceedingly true to her and moving for all of us fans. God bless ❤️🩹 hope to start hearing about more live shows soon
real cool one! Love Fiona Apple...
Fiona, thank you so much for this record. I am a musician and have followed you for the last 20 years and this album has meant more to me than any piece of music I have ever heard. I've been going though so much during this pandemic, and every song has been a voice to my experience. Thank you thank you thank you for being a warrior for justice and a voice for women everywhere. I love you.
"Calling into being" hit me as maybe something that isn't just hocus pocus and perhaps essential in validating one another.
I love your honesty Fiona!
Women should support each other not tear each other down.
This may lead to quite a limited range of accepted opinion from women
@@marissa102100 isn't that a little extreme? her opinions on those issues are as relevant as yours or mine
@@marissa102100 I'm not defending the way the world we live in allows musicians/actors etc to enrich themselves while millions die in poverty. That's fundamentally immoral, I think we agree there. But this particular celebrity has given thousands of dollars and a lot of her time to important social causes, chief among them the ones mentioned in the interview. The immorality of the system that allows her to become filthy rich and her actions as an individual who happens to genuinely care about society's ills are two separate things.
@@marissa102100 hey we may not agree but there's no reason to be rude or condescending. I think you're extreme in your views as I said but I'm not naive and I wasn't seeking to teach you a lesson, just sharing my opinion. There's a considerable difference between Weinstein and Fiona Apple I hope I don't have to explain why
@@marissa102100 Every one of your comments is a perfect example of unnecessary condescension. My views aren't formed? We have a disagreement, end of story. You're the one claiming she shouldn't give her opinion on a bunch of issues. What gives you that right? Bigoted people like you are what's wrong with the left
She's giving voice to all of our hurts, down to the marrow. And using her platform to bring attention to indigenous civil rights, marginalized people's plights. With humility, and raw passion. Her anger IS an amazing thing. Bringing voices together, the power of music- in the midst of so much isolation and fear, is transformative.
love you fiona and indigenous peoples everywhere ❤ so much!
I just listened to this album and really love it. The 1st two songs didnt catch for me but the rest was FAB I love the backing vocals and Fiona's usual witty break neck speed lyrics. Its up there with When the Pawn for me and that album is very hard to top IMO. Il listen to it a few more times, Fiona deserves so much praise for her work ethic and ability to entertain through her music. Its fantastic stuff.
Thank you 😎
Great Interview. And awesome álbum. Thank you very much, everything you said about releasing your music ay this time were true. I felt company, vitality, questioning, dreaming, enpowering, creative, motivated, excited, vulnerable, surprised and happy ay the same time. Thank you again for this gift. Your music is wonderful!
It is so refreshing to hear the masses begin to acknowledge this fact of life and human treatment! Time is now! Support humans of our whole!
great interviews with both. love erin wise's words - "using her medicine to transform"
Fiona = hope for art in the world, whether visual, auditory or any other stimulus for the reach of humanity
"The new record's here, that's something for me to do for a couple days."
Try a couple months. I'm still listening to it nearly every day.
Same
This was an informative talk that began with talk of the album and moved toward _ceding sovereignty_ and all it entails.
What an amazing interview!
Wonderful!
Super interesting conversation...I never would have thought Fiona Apple wasn't always more "woke" & aware of history, but it is excellent to hear her hunger for knowledge
Never too late for a shower of rain🤕😷👊 Relay
Fiona deserves everything. From the day she said to everyone that world she was living in was bullshit to this day, for being herself. My favourite living artist! So happy with FTBC! Thank you for the music, F!
Great!!! ❤❤❤
Yesss...
The interviewer is so chill i love her
I love you so much Fiona, you are just an example of humbleness and simplicity nowadays and I LOVE YOU FOR THAT! thank you for always being real and human ❤️
In the midst of the 6th mass extinction it's vital humanity support the indigenous people. We are all one race & they're vital for the survival of our species.
✌️❤️
This interview is pretty awesome. Wish it was translated to other languages to help inform and connect people of other nations
Making it a life commitment. Wow. Only true authentic human beings live like that. She never disappoints me as a true compassionate being. Land acknowledgement is one thing I need to learn too. Thank you Fiona for never pandering, never lowering to mediocrity...Love you loads...❤️🇧🇷

@@fredtello those are just 2 tribes!
Thank you.
Fiona, you look absolutely beautiful 😘💜🌹😘💜🌹!
Fiona!!!!!!!! oxoxoxo
I wonder how Fiona would respond to Brando ...
Kick his ass? (if you're saying he was a creeper)
@@johntao6822 That's not what he's saying at all. Brando was a very prominent supporter of indigenous rights.
John Tao kick his ass?!
Or, genocidal creep; Maggie Sanger, on the negative end of the spectrum. Sanger gets a "lefty chick pass'', much too often.
A critique from the left.
Was listening to her this weekend.... Old stuff, interviews.
Can't wait to see you in concert again
