Alanis Morissette - Versions of Violence HQ (Live in Atlanta - January 2008)

Versions Of Violence (1/28/08). Third time this song was performed live, First live capture. This is the only time she performed the song like the studio version (besides the first 2 shows in Florida, of which recordings have not surfaced anywhere), afterwards everyime the song was played live she changed the melody in the verses slightly.

LYRICS:
Coercing or leaving
Shutting down and punishing
Running from rooms, defending
Withholding, justifying

These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared

Diagnosing, analyzing
Unsolicited advice
Explaining and controlling,
Judging, opining and meddling

These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared

This labeling
This pointing
This sensitive's unraveling
This sting I've been ignoring
I feel it way down way down

These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared

OH! Nevermind. I saw her recently at Cobb Energy Center and it was SOOOO much better than this! The acoustics just plain SUCK at the Philips Arena

[citizenoftheplanet]

Yeah haha... I have videos from both shows-- Cobb (Oct. 2008) and Philips (Jan. 2008).

[AndrewLeeFinnigan]

wow this sonds great live cant wait to hear the studio version on her new album!!

[klined]

her best song in 8 years

[ifiweresolucky]

I was 3rd row center at her performance in Atlanta... this didn't seem like the same one. Perhaps it was the microphone?

...anyway, all I can remember is the front few rows jumping up and down and going crazy! we all had such an amazing time

[heartofthehouse]

Best song on the record

[SpinelessPollyanna]

Great performance. I wish she would perform the song like this again but obviously she feels she cannot hit these deep notes live and thus sings the verses in adifferent way now.

[Narcissusboy21]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!! great song!!!!!!!

[pagancruel]

can't wait for the new album!
