The main title sequence for Showtime's new series The Affair will feature music from a familiar voice: Grammy-winning Fiona Apple.
Apple's "Container" is an unreleased song she resurrected and revamped for The Affair after show creator Sarah Treem approached her to provide the theme music.

The final rendition of "Container," an eerie tune with dark lyrics, is inspired by the show’s narrative, which is about the complexities of an extramarital relationship.
"I was screaming into the canyon at the moment of my death; the echo I created outlasted my last breath," Apple sings. "My voice it made an avalanche and buried a man I never knew, and when he died his widowed bride met his daddy and they made you. I have only one thing to do and that's to be the wave that I am and then sink back into the ocean."
The Affair stars Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson.
Showtime describes the series, which premieres Oct. 12, as such:
Noah is a New York City schoolteacher and novelist who is happily married, but resents his dependence on his wealthy father-in-law. Alison is a young waitress trying to piece her life and marriage back together in the wake of a tragedy. Set in Montauk at the end of Long Island, the provocative drama unfolds separately from both the male and female perspectives, using the distinct memory biases of both to tell the story.
Treem said she's honored and humbled that Apple lent her song to the show.
"If our show can approach one tenth of the depth and complexity of her song, I'll be very happy," Treem said in a statement.
Apple, of course, broke into the music scene in the mid-1990s with her hit "Criminal."
