Watch: Fiona Apple performs ‘I know’ in a living room, with Blake Mills

A rare, very intimate window was open for us in the life of Fiona Apple – the singer-songwriter performed “I know” in a typical living room, while holding the hand of an elder woman; we don’t know who the woman is, and, to be perfectly honest, I don’t mean to pry.
