New Fiona Apple - "Sally's Song"

Tim Burton's spooktacular Nightmare Before Christmas is getting a 3-D makeover and theatrical re-release this month, and to compliment the visual upgrade, Burton commissioned a group of artists to cover Danny Elfman's original soundtrack. Fiona's contribution is a somber affair, with weeping strings that make it fit-for-Burton and a lyrical theme Fiona knows well: ill-fated love, expressed with disappointment and plenty of melancholy.

Fiona Apple - "Sally's Song" (MP3 link expired)

The eyeliner-friendly lineup includes Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Marilyn Manson, and She Wants Revenge, and the double-disc Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack is out 10/24.

Enjoy.

Beautiful song! But I hate to hear this song will be sharing space with Fall Out Fag, Panic! At The Gay Discoteque, She Wants Cock, and Marilyn Munster.
