Fiona Apple<\/a> unveiled a new cover of the Waterboys \u201cThe Whole of the Moon\u201d on the series finale of Showtime\u2019s The Affair<\/i> Sunday. Per a New York Times<\/i><\/a> recap, the episode opened with the Waterboys\u2019 original 1985 version<\/a>, while Apple\u2019s cover played at the end.<\/p>\n

While Apple deftly captured the potent yearning of the original, she remade the arrangement around her piano and swapped the Waterboys\u2019 very Eighties synths for a few country flourishes, like a nimble pedal steel guitar. But, unsurprisingly, the song coalesced around another stand-out vocal performance from Apple, who pushed her voice to its raspy limits as she bellowed, \u201cYou came like a comet\/Blazing your trail too high\/ Too far\/To soon\/You saw the whole of the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with providing the closing song for The Affair<\/i>, Apple\u2019s original track \u201cContainer\u201d has served as the series\u2019 theme song since it premiered in 2014. As Pitchfork<\/a> points out, Apple\u2019s cover of \u201cThe Whole of the Moon\u201d comes not long after she contributed a new track to the Halloween episode of Bob\u2019s Burgers<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Vulture<\/i><\/a>, Apple revealed that she is close to finishing a new album and expects to release it early next year. The LP will follow her 2012 effort, The Idler Wheel\u2026 <\/i><\/a><\/p>\n
