Daily Track: Fiona Apple - "So Sleepy"

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:55PM

Email this...

Has it really been FIVE years since Fiona Apple released her last album Extraordinary Machine? Fourteen years -- to the day actually -- since the drop of her debut album Tidal? An '08 live album with her friends in Nickel Creek never materialized but she has surfaced now and again with some interesting covers -- most recently on the fine Cy Coleman tribute album and she's soon to be heard on the hilarious new Margaret Cho musical album Cho Dependent (more on that soon). "So Sleepy" is a new-ish recording taken from Chickens In Love, a wonderful charity project that teamed amateur L.A. teen/tween songwriters from the arts non-profit 826LA with local musicians. Apple, along with Jon Brion and The Punch Brothers (featuring Chris Thile of Nickel Creek), took a shot with the kid-composed lyrics for "So Sleepy". We love the chorus: "I'm a gummy bear, I stand up on the chair, then I start I start to dance on the groove."
