Fiona Apple - "The Whole of the Moon"

It is always interesting to me to hear versions of songs that I have loved, from perspectives that I wouldn’t have imagined.

I had always heard this song as a dreamy homage to the person being sung about, but Fiona’s cover is full of anger and passion, a hint of resentment mixed with love and admiration. It’s an entrancing listen, and well worth the time.

It inspired me to remember my own magic, and how easy things can be if you let them. Hold less tightly to that which served you in the past but does so no longer.

Today, with surprise remembrance, I choose Fiona Apple’s cover of “The Whole of the Moon” as my, little lights, you flew, Brigadoon in the rain, song for a, magic isn’t lost just forgotten, little joys, open your wings, Wednesday.
