I Want You- Fiona Apple w/ Elvis Costello
I have never heard Fiona Apple do a bad cover- she takes a song, makes it her own, and the emotional impact is magnified exponentially. This song does nothing short of make my skin crawl (in a he’s hiding in the bushes stalking me but its still flattering kind of way).
Hear the Original here (just music):
Elvis Costello covering “I Know” by Fiona Apple:
I Know is my favorite track off of When The Pawn..

This post wins. “I Know” is also my favorite track from When the Pawn…, which happens to be one of my favorite records ever, and her version of “I Want You” blows my mind.
Hi! I surfed onto your blog bc you linked to my video of “Sound of White” from YouTube. Anyway, I like your blog and taste in music! I’ll be subscribing to your RSS feed.
Also, I really love that Fiona video too. When I first saw it, I watched it over and over again.
Will you be going to the KT Tunstall gig on May 5th? And then Missy later on? At the Avalon KT show, I missed a good portion … so this time I’m staying put.
Heeey … this may sound strange, but I won these tickets to the closing night of the Musexpo 2008 conference. Missy Higgins will be performing a few songs as well as a bunch of others. I may have an extra ticket … would you like it? Email me.
