Fiona Apple is a court-watcher. She spent a few years monitoring bail hearings in publicly accessible courtrooms, documenting the soul-grinding legal grind that faces some of the American people who really have the deck stacked against them. In the past, Apple has scored and narrated a PSA about court-watching, and she recently wrote a new song about the things that she saw while court-watching. It’s Apple’s first fully original song in nearly five years, and it’s the kind of single-issue song that aims to get people to understand an issue that doesn’t get enough attention.
