“Every Single Night” by Fiona Apple
From the album The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do (2012)
“Every Single Night” by Fiona Apple appears on 6 radio countdowns from 5 stations between 2012 and 2022. It was first released in 2012 on the album The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Its best result is #49 (tie) on the WBER Listener Countdown 2012. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #243 alternative song of 2012.
"Every Single Night" ended a six-year wait for a new Fiona Apple single, her first since "Get Him Back" in 2006, and Epic released it in April 2012 as the one and only single from her fourth album, The Idler Wheel... She had been writing and recording it on the quiet, without the label knowing, and it's about the dreams that used to come for her night after night. She and co-producer Charley Drayton kept it spare, leaning on celesta and marimba, though the credits also hand Drayton kora, bouzouki, autoharp, strings and a baritone vocal. Dave Way mixed it.
She first played it live at South by Southwest in Austin that year, and Joseph Cahill shot the video in Paris: Apple sharing a bed with a Minotaur, surrounded by snails, hand-feeding an alligator and sporting an octopus on her head.
