On the Bound

This sort of song is what happens when you get a rad production team, decent lyrics/songwriting, and an angry chick with a piano.


Here's Fiona Apple's "On the Bound" which is the opening track of her 1999 album "When the Pawn...." (fun fact, this album title is a poem that Apple herself wrote:  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.) 

I first heard this song when I saw a used disc of the album back in 2001.  I was curious and thought I'd give it a listen.  It only took 3 minutes and I instantly bought the record, which has gotten years of listening by both me and my wife. 

Yeah, here's the song y'alls.
