译Pitchfork评Fiona Apple 2012年单曲"Every Single Night"

翻译：thesweetescspe

Only Fiona Apple could deliver something like the psychologically complex self-analysis on "Every Single Night" and sound elated. Like the lead-off title-track from 2005's Extraordinary Machine, "Night" is all poetry, presented over instrumentation that's been pared to a minimum. "Every single night's a fight with my brain," she declares, and clarifies, "Every single fight's all right." She almost revels in it.

只有Fiona Apple能做出剖析自我，却听起来怡然自得的歌曲。如同2005年的前作专辑同名主打曲“Extraordinary Machine”，单曲"Every Single Night" 用最简朴的乐器传递着最充盈的诗情画意， （歌词）"Every single night's a fight with my brain," 她唱道，又讲道（歌词）"Every single fight's all right." 她几乎陶醉其间。

The song ebbs and flows from trembling, whispered musings to loud, triumphant declarations of self-awareness, and the most chilling bits come when Apple makes the quiet parts feel tense and visceral. With a typically exceptional execution of poetic device, she takes a muted affair and colors it, as she fluidly narrates how butterflies (the personification of "ideas") trickle down the spine and swarm the belly before swelling to a blaze. Even as Apple describes the pain of her all-consuming thoughts, it sounds like desire, and her ear for detail helps conjure a sense of physicality. Point in case: "My heart's made of parts of all that surrounds me," and later, "What I am is what I am cause I does what I does."

歌曲在颤抖的耳语倾诉和响亮凯旋的觉醒宣言的间此起彼伏。经Fiona Apple之手的充满紧张和真实感的低沉缓冲是歌曲最毛骨悚然的桥段。她以一种高超的诗歌手法，将一件不起眼的小事变得生动鲜活，继续酣畅描述着（指歌词）蝴蝶是如何（蝴蝶是“想法”的拟人化）从脊柱滴落流下，在我的腹部聚集又膨胀成烈焰("trickle down the spine and swarm the belly before swelling to a blaze")。尽管Fiona Apple不断倾诉精神内耗的想法，但听起来却似乎欲火难耐，敏锐的辨音能力使她擅长营造激情洋溢的氛围，比如"My heart's made of parts of all that surrounds me,"（我的心脏是由它周围的一切组成的） 和 "What I am is what I am cause I does what I does."（我还是我，因为我做了我该做的）。

Apple has a genius for articulating the power that comes with solitude and self-reliance, and here she expands what that can mean. "I just want to feel everything," she sings, illustrating the point by stretching her voice across the full spectrum of her register. Fifteen years later, she still has an uncanny knack for getting under your skin and inspiring you to go with yourself.

Fiona Apple在歌颂坚强和独立自主上天赋异禀，但在这首歌中，她突破自我，"I just want to feel everything," 她唱道，在极限音域的不断试探中阐述观点。出道15年后，她仍能出其不意地深入人心，激励你跟随自己内心。
