The First Taste
Fiona Apple 1996
The 6th song off Fiona Apples first studio album expresses her emotions towards someone who she wants to let love her. The title of the song hints at this theme, as she wants the individual to give her a taste of what is, hopefully, to come. The song has a very upbeat melody to it, but it still feels as if the listener is waiting in limbo. The bongos and other percussion give off a ticking feeling, as if time is passing mindlessly.

The First Taste.mp4Particular lyrics
I do not struggle in your web
Because it was my aim to get caught
But daddy longlegs, I feel
That I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you
Give me the first taste
Let it begin
Heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, just start the chase
I'll let you win
Why I chose this song for this week
This love song sang by Fiona Apple gives us a perspective of love that feels genuine and makes much more sense being sang by a woman than a man.
