While I’m devoting my blog to the letters of Fiona Apple today, I might as well share this one that she wrote to me.

I met her very briefly before a show back in 2000, only a couple days after that Roseland meltdown, and I handed her a letter wherein I told her I was in my school’s gay-straight alliance and was wondering if she would write a sentence or two of support. “Could you say some nice stuff about gay people?”, basically.

Quite frankly, 16-year-old me was much more interested in interacting with a celebrity than building an alliance between gays and straights, but Fiona took me at my word and wrote me this really sweet letter. The show was on a Friday, and I got this via FedEx the following Tuesday, and she even apologizes for it taking so long. For much of the 12 years that have passed since these events transpired, this has been the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me.

I’ve met her a couple times since, but I never got a chance thank her for taking some time out and being so thoughtful, especially for a lonely weirdo like me. Maybe someday.

Hello Bill,

I got your letter a few days ago, but this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down and write (it’s my day off) Of course, I’d love to help – sign me up. As far as a few sentences go, here’s what I’ve got – I hope it’s OK:

It’s hard to conjure up some new profound way of commenting on this issue – I’m so tired of it being an issue at all, and I suppose I’m lucky, because I see the truth so clearly. All I know I want my friends to be good people, and when my friends fall in love, I want them to fall in love with other good people. How can you go wrong with two people in love? If a good boy loves a good girl, good. If a good boy loves another good boy, good. And if a good girl loves the goodness in good boys and good girls, then all you have is more goodness, and goodness has nothing to do with sexual orientation. A person who loves is a righteous person, and if someone has the ability and desire to show love another – to someone willing to receive it, then for goodness’ sake, let them do it. Hate has no place in the equation; there is no function for it to perform. Love is love, and there will never be too much.

Cara Delevingne popped up as a guest vocalist on her friend Fiona Apple‘s Fetch the Bolt Cutters, sang on St. Vincent’s “Pills,” and scored a songwriting credit on Dijon’s Baby last year.

On Delevingne’s upcoming album, Apple repays the favor, co-writing the lyrics to the club-ready track “Need It.” “We were writing things down on Post-it notes and sending them to each other, which is really funny, because we could have just been texting these lyrics,” she says. “I wanted to do a song that honored her — honored her impact for me as a person and as an artist. I think without the experience of going in the studio with her, I’d never have felt like I could be myself, a bit like a kid, and not have to act like I know what I’m doing or perform or change myself.” - Rolling Stone

“Whenever I’m working with David,I feel like I’m reconnected with my true self from childhood,when every moment of making music flowed easily into the next;when time disappeared because focusing was joyful…Working with David,my inhibitions always fall away,my inner judgements,my fears—everything that gets in the way of real creativity,just evaporates in the sunlight that he so effortlessly embodies.” ~ Fiona Apple

“I sent her the lyrics and the band’s instrumental, and later I was in the van with the band on the way from an airport to a hotel while we were on tour and I got an email from Fiona. It had an MP3 with her playing piano and singing the song to give us an idea of how she planned to sing it. We listened to it on my phone and we were all completely speechless. We were floored. I wrote back to her and said, ‘We want to stick with this and put it on the record as it is. It’s perfect.’” ~ How a Hollywood star’s photos inspired The Waterboys’
