Alanis Morissette - 20/20

You can find this song on her single "Underneath" Lyrics:
I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would never have worn such 'fear lenses'
I would never have held on so tightly

I would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no's, my unwavering yes's
Risked abandonment and stood by that
And thereby felt constant connect

This fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would've gone slower
Pushed infrequent
Would not have rushed into such commitment
I would've shown restraint as my feet got wet
I would've baby-stepped into intimate

This fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty
This torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would've known much more
Known that time was all we had for future depth to unfold
I would've had more faith at every step
I would've kept intact through the whole process

Oh this fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened if i knew then what i know

She has to be one of those rarities that makes you happy to co-exist in the same era. I love to hear her speak. Her massive vocabulary sends chills in my body throughout. And thank the Heavens she doesn't "top the charts" with every released track... those are the artist easily forgotten because they lack inspiration and are only making songs for the moment to fall into the trend of the season. Alanis is a gem. Forever and a day a fan!

Alanis is what the industry calls a "word-of-mouth" artist. It is understood that her product may not "explode" or race up the charts. Rather, her albums "have legs," meaning that they sell and sell and sell over the long run on the strength of verbal recommendations from one friend to another. And, yes, there =is= a sort of "cult" following. Alanis is a poet, after all.
