She's just so good even when it's live. Well, actually she's better live. You get to feel her singing the goodness shit outta the song from just watching her sing.
this song reminds me of my ex. ironically, he was obsessed with ryan reynolds, and i've always loved alanis. this song says everything that i couldn't articulate. i don't understand why people do such horrible things to the people who genuinely love them.
I agree, I cannot believe how much people are into hip hop and rap when there is so much good music on this earth. I mean to each his own for sure but.... wow, it boggles the mind for sure.
@swarnadip2007 to lay down the torch for someone is like to uncrush, or to set out the fire of our asses when loving someone. This is what I've heard. ^^
I can't find the link now, but when I do I'll send it to you. The whole album is supposed to be about Ryan and the break up. She said all these songs were about him.
@montersmama I believe you are right sweetpea..or why would she say something about "cracking up"..Ryan is good for that...heehee..I wish they were still together..they were a great couple..looked terrific together!
She NAILS how it feels to miss someone when you're heartbroken in this song. It's brought me to tears more than once. Powerful stuff, well done Alanis.
On songs like this or Tapes or Not as We, her voice makes me cry it's so beautiful. But I find her voice a little too nasally and tentative on most songs - can't even stand to listen to Underneath. I prefer her singing from her gut and when it sounded like she was ripping the notes from her throat. I miss my rocker chic :(
For rizzle? She looks bored. She doesn't seem to connect with the lyrics at all. And what is she always so hypnotized by off to her right? She always stares there now when she sings. I miss the old Alanis who seemed to feel the lyrics as rawly as when she first wrote them.
I wouldn't say so. She has now more technique than before, but if you realize, most of the songs thou they r cool and am a super Alanis fan, they sound kinda the same. The more different ones are those from JLP and SFIJ
Such a sad and yet beautiful song.. I'm wondering if she was thinking of Ryan Reynolds while she was singing it. I love Alanis and her music. This song makes me feel sad but it's nice to know Alanis has moved on. =)
Such beautiful music. I don't understand why it is not as successful as it should have been. People don't appreciate good music--what's up with Spears being so popular? She can't write nor sing. She doesn't sing live and yet she sells more records. What gives? As for the Grammy Awards--The Jonas Brothers got nominations???? And Alanis got nothing for this great music. Alanis, your music is beautiful and touching--I will always be a fan of your music.
This is just an amazingly beautiful song. If you've never felt like this for someone, you haven't lived.
