my life through music

At the risk of sounding cliché by referencing The Nightmare Before Christmas, Fiona Apple’s cover of Danny Elfman’s “Sally’s Song” serves as a perfect example of everything I love about music: it’s emotive, flowing and experiential. Several instrumental voices seemingly dance around one another while still retaining an overall sense of harmonic unity. (The string descension at 2:28 is particularly powerful…)

Yeah, I definitely prefer Fiona’s dark jazz stuff over her upbeat songs (aside from “First Taste”).
