  • Wonder if Alanis still sends letters ...

  • she is so F'in pretty!!!

  • I fucking love this!!! <3

  • This video , song.. whole concept is so on point with the fact that as women we each have our own lessons & memories from certain someone(s) ; the ones that stick out. Interesting to think about...and certainly "the best platform from which to jump beyond myself" into the arms of the right one :)

  • This video makes me remember my love life.

  • I love this song so much ... it reminds me so much of every boyfriend I've had. How i wish I could write a lyrical letter to each one of them and read it in song. Alanis, you are a true artist. Thank you.

  • Dear Daniel, It meant nothing after all and I jumped ship and that city you left me in. It was the final straw, the last nail in that coffin. I said I love you and that wasn't in the context of you being mine...but I think it's time to say goodbye. I wish nothing but the best for you both : )

  • The lyrics consist of letters addressed to Morissette's former boyfriends and friends. The demo version of "Unsent" contains the real names of the friends: "Matthews" (referring to singer Dave Matthews from the Dave Matthews Band), "Eric", "Terry", "Marc", "Terrance", "Christian" (Christian Lane from the band Loud Lucy), and "Taylor" (Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters).

  • Dear Richard...thanks for all my first times,you're the first i would like to say these words " I love you" now you left me, i gave everything to suceed in our relashionship and i have this impression that something is lost: i'm afraid now to love someone...:((

  • Dear Alanis, don't forget Ryan Reynolds ;)

  • Dear Nicolas,Nathan,Jonathan,Alexan­dre,Pierre and Richard...

  • Dear Wade, Marco, Justin, Dustin, and Kurt. (And Mary) LOL

  • Alanis also directed this music video by herself, along with an unfinished promo video for her single "Joining You."

  • Comment removed

  • That guy is Grayson from Cougar Town.

  • this song takes me back not too many years ago it helps me appreciate the cycles i went through in life and now Im getting married soon and im glad i can say it was all worth it because im a stronger smarter human being :)

  • burberry people, I hate you!

  • Dear Joshua, I messed it up pretty badly but I hope that you still got some joy from our relationship. I don't regret spending a moment with you, we were both young and we both learned a whole lot about love and life. Hope you're still arguing about FF VII VS FF VIII <3 :)

  • Wish I got a letter like this from Alanis!

  • Dear me, sometimes I wish I never doubted you, we could have made it far. But those days are gone so I should let 'em go. Thank you Alanis!

  • Dear Mark, I think of you sometimes. I'm pretty sure you are my soulmate, but I know you don't believe in things like that. I always remember you on your birthday and how I should've known better to fall for a Capricorn. I hate to say I told you so about that girl you married...but I told you so. I told you so!

  • This Song, Makes Me Think About A Friend Of Mine, That I Love So Much, I'm Dedicating This Song To Her, Because She Is A Special Friend, And I Miss Her So Much!!!! :-)

  • Dear Kelsey,

     I just want you to know that i love you so much. I don't know what i'd do without you. You are everything to me and you are by far the most important person in my life right now. To be honest, i feel kind of silly writing this on a youtube video. But if you're reading this, know that i love you. I'm so glad you're in my life. Please be happy and enjoy life <3 Sincerely, Damon. AKA, "Terrance."

  • 1:45 its Josh Hopkins!

  • @bagyourface as she says in precious illusions "... like these boys gone through like water"

  • @bagyourface

    Hmmm.. 5 relationships is not too much. It's pretty normal, actually.

  • Alanis rules.  "Nuff said!

  • This takes me back to my summers at myrtle beach, s.c in the 90's she is a great singer.

  • lol, Lou.

  • Not feeling it...I gotta have more cowbell!!!

  • the end it's pretty funny !!

  • This is hands down her finest hour.

  • All I can say is any guy who acually had Alanis Morissette for his own and let her go has to be a world class idiot. Dumbest thing they could do.

  • @INF3darkgreen yep a real douchebag! Im infatuated with her, shes beautiful! Something about her, just can't place it yet

  • Reminds me of my ex's and what i would have written to them... And never sent.

  • It's pretty sad that I can put a name to almost every guy she portrays in this vid... She's amazing, and just gets it.

  • "you were the best platform form which to jump beyond myself" that's got to be the strongest thing to admit, and the sweetest thing to hear for the person to whom it is dedicated. Poignant! Wow

  • so beautiful. simple, powerful, direct. words will be unsent.

  • Dear Alanis. The only ones worth your time were Terrance and maybe Matthew . The rest were bona fide douche-lords.

  • This song was written before facebook. Noone would ever write a song like this now. Thank God she wrote it when she did.

  • Please give me a "Terrance"

  • I love this video,Alanis u r my mother

  • This video gets me every time. 

  • Her best and most underrated song!

  • great lyric period

  • This is such an honest song.

  • finaly youtube put this video it's rare

  • the reading of the subtitles and listening to the lyrics makes me feel ill

  • I love listening to this song, it explains things so well.

  • Wow if only I could write a song like this about some of the guys in my past

  • This song make my chest tighten :( but its a good feeling :S If that makes sense lol

  • This song make my chest tighten :( but its a good feeling :S If that makes sense lol

  • She is fucking amazing.

  • What a real song.. shit, raw truth!

  • Alanis is an absolute legend. :)

  • Alanis is God in Female form, and Pete Steele is God in Male form. Period.

  • my letter is no longer unsent. and i sent her the poem i wrote too back in 2006.

  • There was a group of 3 of us one year on a snowboarding holiday in the Andorran Pyrenees, and after a day on the slope, we used to meditate to this track, and we used to recognise ourselves in these guys she brilliantly paints.

  • She should have been an actress, she nailed it!

  • i love alanis but i dont think she likes many people-------- especially men

  • @daffodil97 what she sexist or somthing?

  • She makes my soul weep i always listen to her when im sad makes me sing (badly) which always makes me feel better. Music heals.

  • I relate so well to her music. This song also makes me think of past relationships, and I think the video aids the song very well. My favorite part is the last scene when there is that uncomfortable silence in a car with someone when you both know it's over, but nobody is ending it. Sigh, Alanis, you rip my heart out! lol

  • 3d dude is from Cougar town

  • Why are humans S00 threatened by transparency; and why can't anyone just give a straight fucking answer: " yes" or "no" would be sufficient!

  • this girl really gets around

  • @barkpeeler2000 LOL!

  • Everyone Alanis is interested in already has a relationship with somebody else, lol

  • great song , love the lyrcs ¡¡¡¡¡ its me remain me a painful old lover and soul and love ahahah sure im smoking pot now , but i love that f%#ng song ¡¡¡

  • I wish I could bring myself to write something this honest and real. To this day I use her line, "The best platform from which to jump beyond myself" - This piece of work is so good - it makes me think of the late 90's and where I was and how I had the whole world in front of me. Now I have to leave the past behind and even though it plagues me every waking moment of my life now. All I can do is learn to embrace the future and be glad that I can reflect on my history.

  • screw guys indeed.. im going straight

  • @Tlalok2 you dont need to go straight to screw guys. :)

  • josh hopkins looks so funny in this video

  • wish i could be smart like her

  • i've been a fan of this song for more than 10 years and this is the first time i see this videoclip. she has never stopped amazing me. or sticking a knife right in the middle of my chest.

  • She really changed her early 90's "disco" image

  • @billjoe39 she didn't have a disco image dumbass, she was hip hoppy in the late 80's

  • @ChantelleInChains Try that posturing with somebody else douche

  • @billjoe39 What the fuck? I don't even listen to this bullshit. You'll have to excuse my retarded family, obviously someone was on youtube and didn't realize they were on my god damn account.

  • your only supposed to be with one person in your life.

  • @SilentPrayingmanTis

    How boring.

    

  • dear me....love yourself more.

  • @stefwsu9999

    Dear Stef,

    I agree. I don't know you, but I know you're awesome.

    :)

    Have a beautiful day.

  • Matthew does not look much like a real man. dear Matthew man up a bit so you wont embarrass my species

  • 0:00

  • What a great song I never heard before!

  • This is a song every woman knows...it's the feeling, the retrospection of past romances, but more important it is acceptance and gratitude: life is a lesson.

  • lol, i wonder which one of these "guys" is supposed to be dave coulier

  • wwhat a beautiful song!@!!!!!

  • Brilliant! We've all been through stuff. When you watch the video keep the "simple" in mind. Your whole thought process will come between the lines. THAT is writing at it's finest.

  • the truth is, in spite of the Matthews, Terrences and all the other good ones, the people who ever really matter are the Lous.

  • weno el video alanis lo mejor

  • the video is conflicting with the lyrics in my opinion. Both are good, just conflicting.

  • fantastisk sang <3

  • i dont get when he says  "being open to this..open to testing different waters, at the same time..u know" someone please explain!

  • @EDIshames he thought she was alright with them seein other people aswell basically, and she was kinda disappointed and upset..

  • @EDIshames

    I'd guess he means "maybe we could be occasional lovers, but I'll be dating around so don't expect anything - but if you want to hold a torch for me, that would be good for my ego" -- you know, the usual -

  • I can totally relate to this song, so real~!

  • I swear the guy in this looks like Jay from Degrassi. Hmmm.

  • i absolutly love this song me dad loved this r.i.p

  • Josh Hopkins !!!!!!!! (Cougar Town)

  • Dear Lou, we learned so much...

    I realize we won't be able to talk for sometime, and I understand that as I do you

    The long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could...

    we were together during a very tumultous time in our lives

    I will always have your back and be corious about you...

    ...About your career, your whereabouts.

  • This is what music should be. Her lyrics and her voice give you a deep understanding of what she feels. Sure, anyone can become a star on American Idol with vocal technicality and virtuosity. But how about touching people's hearts in a new and artistic way in a style that sets you apart? How about standing the test of time?

  • @tinofilipino nunca mejor dicho

  • @tinofilipino

    I so agree with the comment in your post. It is artists like this (and I throw in sarah mclachlan - that touches our core/heart with music ...true talent ...not commercial hype. I see talent like Santana and Dido struggling to make 1 M hits on youtube and Justin B just clocks millions . Just dont get it !!!

  • @video2remaker ...yes its called teenage hormones! LOL ;) Tis a shame but that's where the $ is at!

    -I guess all we can do is appreciate good music & talent when we hear & recognise it!

  • The lyrics signify, truth, spiritual beauty. They are so touching and so relatable and I am just a teenager listening to this. I love Alanis, she is my inspiration.

  • Dear Stefanie......Never Settle.

  • I could never thank her for what she shared with all of us all this time, and letting me grow up with songs like this one, and it makes me sad. I wish I could met her and just say THANK YOU and hug her.

  • This is so sad! :'(

  • Probably her most underrated song.

  • @JoshVol182 I agree

  • God' I miss 90s

  • I still get choked up at Alanis' vulnerability throughout this video. She is an amazing songwriter...simply wonderful.

  • God, this song ALWAYS gets me. Always, always, always. I listen to it and I'm in tears by the time the first note of the harmonica is played. Alanis is such an inspiration, and she's so relatable. No artist on this planet is like her, none.

  • Was that Ray Liotta? 

  • damn!, I really would like to be in Alanis list .

  • screw grils too !!, but Im not going gay at all.

  • this song really rocks me on, I find the message so acertive and I'd say that the thing with the girls is totally the same, I just would love there would be the same song version whit girls names. I do have some moments like these of myself..

  • @oscaragp "I do have some moments like these of myself.. "

    Second that. Anyone who has really "lived" has had those same moments. The last one has the most bite for me. JR, I hope you're well wherever you might be.

  • @oscaragp U should write it.

  • Everything that happened between her and Lou is exactly what happened between me and my last girlfriend,so I totally relate to this song.

  • alone in alabama

  • I like the New Yorkies only if they like me in Tennessee

  • Matthew = Mike

    Jonathan = Aaron

    Terrance = Brandon

    Marcus = Oscar

    Lou = Alex

  • I've always loved this song. I think most girls probably have at least 3 of the situations in this song happen in their lives.

  • WTF is up with "COOL"!!! damn that was annoying!!

  • linda como só ela

  • This song is so sad!!

  • torture

  • dude she is sooo real in her shit!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is my first time watching this video, but ive known this song for a long time, i think i liked it better without the video, maybe because i was thinking about my own situations in the past when i heard it, now that i've seen the video kind of not feels the same but still a good video

  • This video made me feel pretty guilty

    I should buy my girlfriend some crap

  • hahahaha

  • @RustyMchaggis Sure just what she needs is crap...

  • i love the lyrics and especially "you were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself."

    (: i think that's what she says

  • So Glad They Have FINALLY Returned Alanis's videos to you tube!! THANK U!!!

  • well first of all the dude at the beginning I would never date.lol. he looks like a rapist.

  • 2:47 her face. so sad

  • Screws guys man. I'm going lesbo. lol

  • @boosky0607

    hahaha u go girl! :P

  • @boosky0607 yeah? where ya live? ;)

  • @DeadRisingGal lol <3

  • @boosky0607 hahahahaha good one

  • @boosky0607

    Can you become lesbian if you are a man? - just a thought

  • @Kbonefan maybe if you cut off your penis and put a vagina there?

  • @chunks132  um.....ow!

  • @Kbonefan um... I'm sure there's a way. lol

  • @boosky0607 Is that an expensive sports car? Does it have a lot of carpet?

  • This made me cry.

  • It is the song of all my life, my relationships :(

  • @bianasc

    MINE TOO! IT'S LIKE I WROTE THE LYRICS PERSONALLY!

    I LOVE THIS SONG...SO FULL OF MEMORIES FOR ME!

  • deep

  • Comment removed

  • From Below- second is "Your House" I can just see her come in and look about so very intriguing. Third this song, just because you can see how she and all of us develope as people and how that effects our relstionships. Alanis is just flat out awesome. Even the stuff you did on "You can't do that on TV"...lol

  • I love this video! Finally the video emerges!

  • 1:08 you can just feel the saddness in her eyes here...you can tell he's lying to her and all. One of my all time fav. video's, for sure...I think about all my past relationships when I hear this song. Thinking what their doing, are they the same, what changed about them. Thank Alanis, for writing beautiful music and being herself! <3

  • This song does the same for me, I ogten wonder about some of my ex's. Funny thing though, it seems that I have different reasons for different woman. I had to search for this for about half an hour.. I wish there was another verse... Dear Rick... For me its not about her looks (although she is beautiful) I think I could really have a conversation with Alanis. I have almost everthing she has done. My top three, 21 Things (any one I have dated had to have at least 14 of those traits) ABOVE-

  • @Beatrixflux1 your words come straight to heart

  • @lemmonhead5080 thank you!

  • One of my favorite Alanis' s videos!
