Members Adam Posted March 18, 2006 Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 I fell in love with her almost 11 years ago when I first came across her brand of in your face, soul bearing singing and songwriting with the release of Jagged Little Pill.... she is just so amazing. Every song she sings its from the very depths of her soul.... all artists do this but I dunno I have just always been able to understand her songs and feel something for them. She has such a unique voice too and really puts it all out there on the line. She has softened a bit over the years but still can crank out one of those angry revenge tunes. Alanis rocks my socks! That I would Be Good One of my favourite songs of hers. that I would be good even if I did nothing that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down that I would be good if I got and stayed sick that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth that I would be great if I was no longer queen that I would be grand if I was not all knowing that I would be loved even when I numb myself that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed that I would be loved even when I was fuming that I would be good even if I was clingy that I would be good even if I lost sanity that I would be good whether with or without you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted March 18, 2006 Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 I mainly have enjoyed her earlier music. She is proud to be Canadian though and is not afraid to show it either. Her hit "Eight Easy Steps" that came out two years ago was pretty good, but nothing will top "Jagged Little Pill" or "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" or whatever that was called.

Members Adam Posted March 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 She has evolved as an artist and her third studio album Under Rug Swept, in which she produced and wrote all on her own IMO was her best body of work. But yeah I love all her stuff. Eigh Easy Steps was an awesome song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted March 18, 2006 Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 I heard this song of hers a while back and thought it was just horrifically... sad, LoL. "Your House" I went to your house Walked up the stairs Opened the door without ringing the bell Walked down the hall Into your room where I could smell you And I shouldn't be here Without permission Shouldn't be here... Would you forgive me love if I danced in your shower? Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed? Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon? I took off my clothes Put on your robe Went through your drawers And I found your cologne Went down to the den Found your cd's And I played your Joni And I shouldn't stay long You might be home soon Shouldn't stay long Would you forgive me love if I danced in your shower? Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed? Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon? I burned your incense I ran a bath I noticed a letter that sat on your desk It said: 'Hello, love. I love you so, love. Meet me at midnight.' And no, it wasn't my writing I'd better go soon It wasn't my writing So forgive me love If I cry in your shower So forgive me love for the salt in your bed So forgive me love If I cry all afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted March 18, 2006 Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 I love "Your House" SO MUCH. It might be my favorite song off Jagged Little Pill, and it's not even a listed track! So haunting with the a cappella vocals. The silence feels so stark and painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted March 18, 2006 Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 OMG!!!! Thankyou for this thread. Alanis is my favorite singer of all time!! I have two favorite songs. "You Oughta Know" I want you to know, that I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me Is she perverted like me Would she go down on you in a theatre Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able To make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, till you died But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you [!@#$%^&*] her Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able To make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, til you died But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it...well can you feel it And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know ...and "Hands Clean" If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much Ooh this could be messy But you don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it Ooh this could get messy But you don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? What with this distance it seems so obvious? Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body Ooh this could be messy and Ooh I don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted March 18, 2006 Members Share Posted March 18, 2006 First CD was definitely A M A Z I N G ! Slowly, it's been downhill from there, in spite of a few highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted March 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2006 yeah she is such an AMAZING un-plugged/acoustic performer. Her MTV Un-plugged special and CD was absolutely amazing. SXhe is the type of artis where an intimate surrounding suits her. I'd kill to see her live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted March 20, 2006 Members Share Posted March 20, 2006 I love her! Haven't paid much attention to her after she released "Under Rug Swept"...I don't really dig her new pop sound. But everything before that...amazing stuff...especially the material off of "Jagged Little Pill"! My favourite songs are "Head Over Feet", "Forgiven", and "Thank You". I love the video to "So Pure"..pretty creative with the different dances and time periods..it looked like a fun one to make. It's ironic (pun intended) that she was like Canadian teen pop star before she went all rock. I was shocked when I saw one of her old videos..she was soo different then! She was dancing and singing to pop music and dressed the genre as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah she was a dance pop queen in the early 90's here in Canada. LOL Some of her old videos are on youtube I think. LOL She though broke free from that went to L.A and found an outlet for her style inside.... she has kinda softened in recent years but still she is not mainstream like all those other girls... she just does what she does and still has legions of loyal fans all over the world. Love me some Alanis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 21, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Here is Alanis' biggest pop hit in Canada from 1991 titled "Too Hot" http://youtube.com/watch?v=AHySIM-QF60 thank goodness she found herself eh but I can't help but like this song. It's catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah, that's the video I saw! The song is pretty catchy...90s pop is nothing like the crappy pop we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
