So disappointing that Alanis has such a dry well she would co-opt Sia's Breathe Me and try to pass it off as one of her own tales of woe. I so worshiped even her most recent releases, but this album is distorted and overblown on the god thing
This song is so deep.I can relate to those negative thoughts in our heads.Wasn't too long I used to beat myself up for countless days if I make a mistake in choir practice.
I agree. It's something with the way she tells what she's thinking, all her negative thoughts, before she explains them. "These excuses how they served me so well" and "all these tapes in my head spin around keeping my vibe down". It's branches of the same tree, I feel.
I have to disagree. In Excuses, she seems to be accepting her own negative picture of herself, and trying to fare with it as well as she can, almost triumphantly. In Tapes, there is an air of resignation; it a painful, bitter resignation to some battle. I think Tapes is either about a relationship thats ended, or else it is her perception of what someone else feels in some situation... Whereas Excuses is more about self loathing, completely unrelated to any relationship aside from with herself.
I totally agree with you, but what I meant that the style is very muvh the same. She expresses her inner, darkest feelings and then she explains them sort of. You know? The songs deal with totally different subjects, but the approach is the same.
it's like she finds the words to express exactly what you are feeling sometimes... especially feelings you don't want to acknowledge or even recognize.... and makes you feel better about them,,,
how can she do that ??? how can she place felling into exact words when i listen this song is like!!!! i dont know!!! but i love it, i love her i can not wait for her album to come out and is even harder cuz it has not a release date!!!
this song is so powerful and sad. I think the first lines are "I am so darn easy to leave, even easier to forget" Ouch. I dont know how anyone could leave such a beautiful person.
tapes es lo mejor del FOE

many are saying TAPES is equivalent to EXCUSES but i think that this song is more so similar to EXCUSES... good stuff overall....

Exactly! All those dark, miserable feelings I'm ashamed to have, little less express out loud. But if she can do it, so can I.
