Fiona Apple has covered The Waterboys ‘The Whole Of The Moon’

It’s been seven years since Fiona Apple unveiled her last record, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, and at this point, we’re all desperately consuming whatever output she gives us.

Apple tragics will be thrilled to know that the elusive musician has blessed us with a cover of The Waterboys’ classic ‘The Whole Of The Moon’. The cover featured on the ending credits of the series finale of The Affair — a show that Apple wrote the theme song for.

As The New York Times notes, the finale opened with The Waterboys 1985 original and then closed with Apple’s cover. Check it out below.

Last month, Fiona Apple contributed a song to the credits of an episode of Bob’s Burgers. The Halloween special, ‘Pig Trouble In Little Tina’ featured character Gene dressed as Fiona Applesauce. The track is truly a career highlight for Apple, and features dazzling lyrics “And you can try your best to shout/When you’re smooching on that snout/ But you kissed a fetal pig/ And now you two are boyfriend-girlfriend.” Check out the track below.

Earlier this year, Apple revealed that she hopes to release The Idler Wheel… follow up in 2020.

“I was supposed to be done a million years ago,” she shared in a rare interview with New York Magazine. “And I go off and I take too long making stuff. I’m hoping for early 2020. I think.”
