Precious Illusions

[gravelm12]

I love this video-how it is divided in half-very old school romantic mixed with the current day of age.

[silverakisame]

This song is too painful to listen to.

[scarygirl005]

I'm crying with this song because is true, I think i'm so stupid, oh c'mon I'll try don't to cry anymore... but is impossible!. The weather don't help me, It's raining! :´(

[dermor18]

And... this is the story of how she met Ryan Reynolds :)

[diegoconectado]

Essa música é perfeita. A Alanis é FODA #SEM+

[viickMB]

story of my life right now... (:

[gpeddino]

This video is a masterpiece. It's incredibly well put together, and the message touches deep inside.

[krizthian1993]

only illusions

[Fantasydrage]

Isn't this Romance as it really is?One thing in our head and heart, and a whole other in the world.Like a fairytale wedding that dosn't end with nursing at 4 am and diapers and fighting over when you last had sex, becourse nether wants to admit, that they don't remember.

[meer1120]

This gives us a pretty good idea 'bout how courtship works, both in medieval times and the present day.

[nayarafmz10]

=)

[andynascimento1]

And though I know who I'm not, I still don't know who I am;

But I know I won't keep on playing the victim...

[ThESePhLoU]

Kto od Roja? ;)

[TheGlenrocks]

he is Francesco Totti

[Sillilesshells]

"and parting with them , is like parting with invisible best friends " :')

[Lujacino]

His name ´s Lucas Babin. He's so perfect.

[U2DABEARS]

Awesome!

[gobabsumnida]

somebody PLEASE tell me who that guy is!?

[marcell1302]

i love this song, is beautiful

[kesito18]

this is officially my favourite music video of alanis ...

[celebrant9]

He looks better as a knight, lol. Great song by Alanis, brilliant lyrics.

[tbair100]

i love this video.. it is all so true

[newgeo21]

sometimes reality could be cuter than fantasy... in her ways

[Vivalarachie]

Whatever I'm feeling, there's always an Alanis song to match my mood or situation.

[lizcandyrobot]

why men always make us feel like princess when they're trying to have a relationship with us, and when they've got it, they just don't care about it!?

[tbair100]

@lizcandyrobot not sure but i think that is what she is going for with this video and i love it

[Victoriooo22]

@lizcandyrobot because some men are flakes :/

[paradiciacax]

ta bueno el video hehe

[dlakodlak]

this split screen was a great idea. Really like it

[nanbeto]

15 people has no illusions at all

[nanbeto]

excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ariaknas]

[fotozeus]

PEEENNY CAAAN!

[sabrijlo]

<3

[aguilerawinehouse]

Esta si es verdadera y autentica musica,,,!!!!

[CoIoRearte]

This is my all time favourite music video.

[ERYKAVALENTYNA]

love this video....

[HauntedFrancisco]

15 people don't have any illusions in their lives.

[kesito18]

yo quiero mi historia de amor asi, como pero en la seccion de la izquierda!! como en un cuento de hadas ...!

[SpearofDestiny0]

This video always makes me sad...it's heartbreaking, but realistic, and something everyone deals with....she's the most underrated musician out there. Love Alanis <3

[MsMaruska1]

@madman06911 Yeah and you are completely right!!!!

[Aliceliazul]

Lovely *-*, this is one of my favorite songs from Alanis *o*

[ashaaley]

she is so talented. this song goes straight to your core... so deep and she is so in touch with it all... ahhhh

[eidechsemann]

She'S like Avril in "I'm With You" OMG

[pecora01]

it's so beautiful whqn they kiss, im in love

[nanbeto]

One of her best songs and videos, love u Alanis!!!

[Cjsewall1]

sorry I am havin a moment here... healing powers... hmmm... not yet kickin in but alanis you know your special to me... am I special to you.. hehe jokes... maybe I should get some advice from billy graham

[punishedexistence]

Ok, who the fuck wouldn't like this video? I mean I am a big Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse death metal idiot and this song just reaches right inside that facade of "I wanna be tough" image and speaks directly to the soul. Sorry bout that, but I had to get it out. She's beautiful outside, but absolutely stunning inside. Remember, beauty is only skin deep. Ugly's clear to the bone. Alanis is just pure real.  Love ya!!

[TheGlenrocks]

is Francesco Totti :)

[GardenVamp]

siempre amare este temita pz lo vivi asi n_n!!! cada tema de alanis es parte de mi vida n_n!!

[shocker147]

I think this is her best song.

[ciccicasillas]

who's that HOT guy! Oh, my, God

[TheBlackBloodyAngel]

I can't believe my friends say she's ugly, seriously, I think she's the most brautiful woman ever!!! and I mean it! her songs are connected to my life better than anyone else's, there is no point in even saying how I feel about them cause we all know they touch my heart...Love you Alanis!

[lunalovett]

i prefer the real life side. :P

[randyandy1960]

have a listen to " IN YOUR MIND " by andrew gerbasi.  nice song

[VampGirlxXx1]

Omg the guy is so hot!

[spacemutt]

I like how at 1:22 they're riding a horse in the left frame, while the horse is in the driver's seat in the right frame.

[bediviere1]

me vas a completar del modo esacto en el q nunca lo hicieron (8)

[nawwar87]

she is so natural and cute. love her..

[rock7star007]

me trae tantos recuerdos esta cancion

[crabbySm4ck3r]

i love Alanis' music :) i wouldnt tell too many people that but shes awesome

[Tata22xx]

amooooooo e faz tempo... qndo tinha 15 anos me imaginava no lugar da alanis rsrs ... lindo clip... e ainda eh meu sonho.. encontrar meu príncipe.. rsrs

[Lennbain]

Quien será el caballero medieval tan guapo?

[ReinaFilia]

Precious illusions of mine, never give me up. Without you, I can't start anything new.

[amigarge]

<3_ <3 amooooo a alanis <3 <3 ke intensaaaaaaaa

[goyoelpollo]

people do love you Precious, your baby loves you, I love you.

[Nehmi]

Who the hell dislikes this song? Clearly they have no souls.

[etiennemx]

con este video intenté decirle a alguien que me estaba gustando y que un futuro me gustaría estar con él. decirle que con un instante pude sentir lo que e mismo video plasma, pero la respuesta de él no fue la que yo esperaba, en fin, no cabe duda que ilusionarse es algo grato, loco, trsite, emocionante , de muchas formas, no perdamos lo que la creativdad y las emociones puedan crear.

[kesito18]

si alguien sabe como darle sentido a algunas cosas de la vida, esa es sin duda alanis, me encanta como expresa lo real de una manera metaforica, el video es melancolico ademas, creo que con el video se muestra lo que ocurre una vez que dejas ir a las preciosas ilusiones

[flwriliana]

why does life has to be the right part of the screen???

[KoreAtreides]

@flwriliana My sentiments exactly. Hmph

[GwendolynRaine]

This is now officially my favorite music video of all time.

[AlmaSayah]

so powerful!

[Karakuma]

she's brutally honest and i love it! <3

[Mirii905]

simple y sencillamente ¡me encanto!

[RyanX1231]

This song reminds me of what I think of this girl at school I like, A LOT. In my head I see us kissing on the beach, but in real life she barely knows I exist (yet anyways) I may think in my head that falling in love is like it is in the movies but its not in real life. It's not a fairytale. So that's basically whats the song's about. It's about things we imagine about falling in love but it's sadly not like that in the real world. Thumbs up if you agree with me.

[Karakuma]

@RyanX1231 i hate to say, but there's this guy...i really like him and he can make me laugh but i'm not sure if he likes me back, he can say i'm pretty etc compliment me without having feelings right ? so here i am falling in love with LOVE.

[RyanX1231]

@Karakuma Are you asking me for advise or are you giving me advise? sorry im slow when it comes to reading on the internet lol

[Karakuma]

@RyanX1231 hahaha nah, just wanted to say that i'm in the same situation...and added some more to it (might have been a little drunk too...) :$ :p

aaand probably asking if when a guy compliments me it doesn't have to mean they like me romantically :p

[RyanX1231]

@Karakuma Well, if he's complimenting you then you know he likes you (at least as a friend) just make ur move on him. And I'll do the same with my girl (I LOVE CARLY) lol

[Kindario]

whats the video where shes naked and everyones passing her by?

[RyanX1231]

@Kindario That song was "Thank U"

[MonickJimenez]

Gosh!!! I love the sense of the lyrics and the parallel they do on the video, the video is so well making!!!

[karenzitaloren]

Acho legal ela imaginar um monte de coisas com ele e no final vermo ele alí, no mesmo lugar, sem saber de nada.

[bestacrfriends]

i love alanis becuz she doesnt give a damn

[ERIKINHAFREITASADM]

... a parte do anel é engraçada>.hihi

[LoliWanKenobi]

Que increible cancion, hace tanto q no la escuchaba, y ver otra vez el video y comprender la letra me hizo sentir muchas muchas cosas de mi, EN MI.....sencillamente impresionante.....

[1stayingfreeify]

love the name i dont really remember but i will

[CamilaSilvaguit]

este foi o tema da minha adolescência

[AnaPCaggiano]

Lindooooooooooo....adoro este clip e o cabelo da Alanis está lindo.

[americanflag]

the song is amazing the video is fucking genial!

[blink56k]

Reminds me of the movie 500 Days of Summer...pretty much the guy version of this!

[Criszy77]

all her songs rock i think beacuse her lyrics have meanings so different like today

[MrVodkaking]

One of the best from Alanis M.  She captures some rock and roll.

[vedranaflips]

I love this video visually.

[DuracellEnergizer]

We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious ...

[raw9025]

Who produces her videos? They're so creative.

[spicyricy1]

2002...sigh...good and bad times! i feel quite old now! :D

[blankote]

@spicyricy1 only 8 years older lol :)!

[barkpeeler2000]

i always find myself staring at only the left side of the screen. then i have to go back and make myself watch the right side to see what's going on there.

[monkeypaw1010]

@barkpeeler2000 I'm usually the opposite and watch the reality more than the fantasy. Maybe we should work together on this? LOL

[jibikao]

What an illusion! Her new found relationship is so picture-perfect ike like the fairy tales! Coupled with modern reality, Alanis enjoys the beach with chemical factor in the background.. and the last scene depicts a weekend retreat in the bed reading!! (or it may an illusion of fantasy?) What a clever music video!

[carinavienna]

é o esse o clip q eu tenho procurado a seculos pqp *.*

[melugallagher]

This song reminds me of my childhood

[americanflag]

great song! great video!

im feeling exactly in this way....poor me :D

[HappyLellow]

3:45 hahaha. The true is she wants a bigger diamond, right? :)

[keracked]

def top 10 most gorgeous women ever.

[tapita84]

che bbbbello questo video!! :-)

[hamdydig]

good songs

[TAMI22LUD]

este era el video que buscaba! ayayayayyyy... porque un recuerdo tan triste y otros tan buenos..?

[kesito18]

el mejor video de alanis

[troglodyto]

of course it won't work, her date is like 20 yrs younger than her

[thejoshgrey]

you realize that in this she's still in her twenties, right?

[rakeluzamf]

me gusta mucho esta frase ...these precious illusions in my head did not let me down !!!

[ivanechristina]

Wonderful song and video, hope she'll make more like this!!!Go lani go!!!!

[OneStarVidz]

PLEASE RATE MY VIDEO (*)NE STAR

[AnelyMG]

I'm the exact representation of the antithesis of corniness, but I just don't know why, I love this video and song. :S.........

[lulucitastyle]

Amo este video, es tan real....Alanis en sus letras plasmómuy bien el sentimiento, pero el realizador del video supo perfectamente cómo mostrarlo.

Alanis,una vez más, lo máximo.

[lordtever]

@lulucitastyle Es uno d sus mejores videos, de panas...

[DuracellEnergizer]

Illusions? My dear, there are no such things as illusions. Everything is real. Everything that can happen will happen - if not in one universe then in another.

That is the glory of the multiverse.

[DuracellEnergizer]

I was thinking some real weird thoughts when I typed this.

God, I feel so incredibly ambivalent about Alanis.

[NotSuchAn]

can you really be "incredibly" ambivalent?

[DuracellEnergizer]

Depends on what your definition of ambivalent is. When I use the word I mean "mixed feelings" not "indifferent".

[a1anismori5sette]

Precious disillusionment.

I have never known that you have been copying Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson's lyrics.

[thesugarblood]

lucas bain

[chickfaktor]

Lucas Babin

[Werrick]

Even the most independant woman imagines love as a fairy tale. Men and women alike should try to make moments like this occur for one another once in a while.

[AnelyMG]

You couldn't be more right!

[jonboy002]

Back in 2002 my brother & I went to the Virgin music festival, Alanis was there & performed this track, amongst others. She is awesome live!

I love this song, thanks for posting it!

Love this song!

[rafiier]

this vid made me cry too!

maybe the "childhood bestfriend" and "invisible bestfriend" maybe the romantic ways in the past. luv the love letter!

[JasonMelancon]

This video makes me cry... Fantasies can be so powerful!

[XmishuX]

I hate the guy in her reality version... he is such a mamma's boy!

[mauvetys]

;))) sure!

[mauvetys]

:))i come back to this great vid, thanks again! i like the both sides, even if i prefer the left;))

[astralhed]

oh, you mean you prefer her reality side that's dreaming about her fantasy illusions on the right? me too, he he! ;)

[mauvetys]

he he:))

[rockchick80s]

One of my favourite songs by her - love the video too - fantasy versus reality - also I think it's about - fate/destiny/free will - who hasn't thought "Maybe - in another lifetime"!!!

[obedessa]

i love this clip since the beging

love,love,love!

[ksandra6000]

this video depresses the hell out of me... It's beautifull, but true. My illusions are just parting with me step by step too...

[spi114]

same here, it's just so bittersweet

[eldjonathan]

igualmente mi linda princesa pues en tu sonrisa esta mi vida te amo pues es similar lo que yo vivo con mi princesa uqe es gardenia te amo

[AvaGarts123]

Ich glaub so sind alle Frauen. Schönes Video!

[RayeOfSunshine93]

every girl suffers from this.

[crismalcolm]

No. Not quite.

[loverlylea]

Yeah, we do. To some extent. But yes, we all do.

[holycow25]

this vid is so cool. i love it.

[MIKE7987654321]

i love this song :D

[albertho19]

todo un principe el chico del video, quien no quisiera tener uno asi? :-(

[oz1kanobi]

i'd be her prince charming anyday

;D

[albertho19]

i wanna prince charming .... :-(

[soulrokkuman]

la vida no es justa...

.______________________.

[borderbasher]

this is my favorite song of alanis! (along with princes familiar.. xD)

[talitakumi7]

Preciosas Ilusiones.. que te mantienen vivo en medio de la desesperanza.. que te sostienen diciendo: el amor llegará..aún cuando sólo veas la soledad a tu alrededor...

[doubledibi]

Great song and video. I can relate.

[SilverRedIndigo]

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

D2

[entitycrazyentitydif]

A great song to accompany a great, interesting video!!!

[masharapova43]

Love the video... =)

[Hinamachuri00]

I don't exactly understand this song, what does she mean?

[poebelly]

She's talking about the lies we let ourselves believe in order to make things easier, or pretend that things are the way we want them to be. You hold on to illusions because it makes life easier. She's talking about trying to let them go and grow up and move on.

[Johannson6990]

@poebelly really did you ask her yourself? cool! 

[hollywoodgogo]

This might be my favorite video of all time...the visual imagery and story is amazing and goes perfectly with the song.

[xMisswentworth]

is it Ashton kutcher, the man in the video?

[PedroKaSteDani]

No he's another actor but I don't remember his name!

[bubblepopelictric]

her videos are soo true people tend to over exzagerate evertying.
