Lauren Austin, TX kalla@iname.com 18 I don't know what to say. Well, o.k., I do. I don't live exactly in Austin (which is a kind of 'different' place - arts-promoting, liberal-minded, etc) but a suburb of it. It's disgustingly infertile here - I mean, you've got kids who all think alike. Uniformly. It's: football, basketball, commercial pop and/or rock, new cars (particularly SUVs or trucks), and the word 'like' at least twice in every sentence. I mean (not to sound arrogant, just being truthful) I was beginning to think for a long, long time that I was the only one -here- who saw a different world, not of the tiny intricate patterns of nothingness that make up so many people's lives here , but of something that couldn't be grasped or handled, only absorbed. Like nature. I'm no poet myself, but I think and imagine a lot. I mostly read literature from the Romantic period, things like "Faust". It's funny that I've spent a lot of my years of "partying" reading stuff from guys who wrote it in their fifties or sixties two centuries ago. But! The nifty alternative is that I can also read the equally entrancing poetry (and hear the music and voice) of someone a bit closer to my age and in the same decade ;) So I thank Fiona for releasing her own stuff *highly*. P.S.: Not to say that I'm both alone and depressed. This isn't supposed to be a whining old entry. I've got my friends and sources of happiness, and I hope all of you do too. Bless everyone here!

Marcellina TX frank_sunday@hotmail.com 23 Fiona can always seem to reach down into my soul, pull up all my emotions and feelings, and put it to wonderful melodies which I feel in every cell of my physical. She is one of the most talented artists of our time and it's a shame that more people don't realize this, but in a way, it's nice. It's like Fiona is all mine, my little secret to keep tucked away under my pillow, to bring out every night and admire, and it's only me and fiona, me and fiona, me and fiona. I love it. Fiona, keep giving me more secrets.

Mayer San Antonio, TX PAMayer@aol.com 17 Fiona's music and words are like the steps I take everyday. Her music, for the most part, describes my life and I just want to thank her for becoming the artist she has become. Without her, I don't think I would love the things I do. Thank You Fiona! I hope to see you in concert someday!

Neichelle San Antonio, TX Shellybaby014@aol.com 15 Fiona has been with me through three years of change, heartache, maturation, and growth. I attribute much of my strength and new-found confidence to Fiona Apple's words and music. I remember one morning, "Never Is A Promise" came on MTV, and as if "Criminal" wasn't enough to get to the music store in the first place, I told myself "today, for sure, I'm gonna go get that CD." I'd been putting it off for too long. That same day, my heart had been violently broken by someone special to me at that time, but there were no grounds on which to say that HE had broken my heart, for he knew nothing of my desire for him. Therefore, it was all me. After that, I started to think about things more, and what this lead to was the conclusion that all of my pain and all of my hell is brought on by myself. Thankfully, ONE more Tidal CD was left and it was all mine. Through the night, Fiona talked to me and told me about her life experiences, and not to say that mine are even in the same realm as hers because they aren't, and her words of struggle and passion took me to a place where I got some strength. I don't know why, but she made me feel better and not so alone in my despair. There are *SO* many more stories to tell, but overall, I would like to say that that CD became my lifeline. Now, 3 years later, Tidal and When The Pawn... are the wells from which I dig to gain some sort of clarity on my emotions and to pull inspiration from... I've written some of my best poetry thanks to Fiona! I can only hope to see Fiona live one day, or perhaps meet her, to tell her what a huge impact she has had on my life. To tell her thank you for being so open and so real with your emotions and daring to be different in an industry that seems all too the same, because in the course of doing this, you have changed so many lives, mindsets, and spirits. Thank you FIONA!

nikki Dallas, TX Isdnrg@aol.com 20 fiona is such a wonderful person. she doesn't let the fame or any of that bullshit get in the way of who she is. i love her music b/c i know it comes from the soul... not from a producer who wants the high ratings. she's a brilliant writer (and musician)...not just a performer-like most are these days.

Briana TX 16 I am member of a cd club and they sent me a free cd which happened to be Fiona, when the pawn is like the best freakin cd i have ever heard...you know one of those cds you can just start at number one and let it keep playin to the last song and not even realize it. it's also cool cause i feel like Fiona is a piece of me like if i'm talkin to my friends i feel like Fiona differentiates me from other ppl. her cd also allows me to realize that i actually enjoy different types of music, from classical, to jazz, to drum solos that make you wanna snap. you name it its on there. ok i feel like this makes no sense but that basically what i like about the cd all summed up. Thank you for letting me share.

Riana TX trickypen@yahoo.com 17 Supposing I get home in a funk and I wanna feel like maybe there is someone else out there, someone real? I slip in When the Pawn and settle into my hippie blow up chair. I can chill that way for hours. Yeah, cause I know what it's like to be a fucking crowbar.

Catherine Houston, TX enirehtac76@yahoo.com 25 Fiona's poetry and music combined moves me. And while I'm moving along in this world and doing my thing, it helps to hear someone root for the "individual". Helps.

Her sound and lyrics just seem to bring a more cheerful side of me out and all my problems seem to disappear. She has just meant so much to me. I sing and listen to her music as if it were my own heartbeat. She has been the biggest inspiration in my life. Helping me through situations but also inspiring my own talent in poetry and singing.
