One of the best sad love songs ever. "...my wealth would render this no less severe" one of the best lines of pop lyrics ever written, methinks.
Yes! I just heard this song for the first time yesterday and was floored at that line.
This song breaks my heart. 💔
Impressively strong lyrics. The emotion she shows while singing this song really moves me, compelling me to spoil my wife-to-be so that she never feels emotions so sad and moving like this.
We love you Alanis. Please keep writing, please keep singing, please keep performing. No one is as genuine or real as you are.
Wow, I never heard this song before. But after having to end a relationship today with the only person I ever truly loved in 42 years, this song really hits home.
never get tired of this song
I wonder how many hearts have been touched for this beautiful, sad but real song...mine too.
Alanis is one of the finest singer and songwriter ever!!
Simple together
You've been my golden best friend
Now with post - demise at hand
Can't go to you for consolation
Cause we're off limits
during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things
I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken
You've been my soulmate and mentor
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew god's face was handsome
With you I suffered an expansion
This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything
I thought we'd be sexy together
Thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But I was sadly mistaken
If I had a bill
for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny
for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime
for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
Thought we'd be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken
Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken
She is 1 of the best singers ever!
My god...j'ai toujours adoré cette chanson... Je pensais pas qu'un jour, elle décrirait si bien ce que je vis...
To bad every singer can't sound like her... especially live. she is truly my favorite singer, and one of my heros.
This song is beautiful and Alanis is just INCREDIBLE
Rips your heart out
This song never fails to make me cry. The lyrics, her voice, the emotion is always here when I listen.
with you I knew god's face was handsome... I adore that line. It touches me to my soul.
Knew a man who showed me God's face is handsome,sadly he is with with God, but I think there are more than 1 soulmate for all of us, if you are open to letting it happen. Hope whoever showed you the beautiful face of your deity, is still around, enriching your life. Or if it haunts you because you haven't had that happen (which I really doubt) it's amazing what is right around the corner. Sorry for length and my numerous cliches.
This song can make me cry. Alanis is AMAZING!
Still makes me ball out crying massive tears. Fkn love this woman!!
you're perfectly right! but...you know...sometimes closing a door can hurt a lot...even too much. this song draws exactly the feeling of such a status.
A truly under rated...no the mosts under rated artist ever. I listen to her songs alot...really stirs the emotions...Thanks
Esta canción me deprime hasta el fondo de mi corazón 😔 es difícil pasar por un desamor es terrible.... Te amo Greylis niño
Sou loucamente apaixonada por essa música e por ela! Não há nada no mundo que fale mais do que suas músicas!
Damn, how does she do this with a straight face, I mean by not just breaking down. This shit is heavy man. I don't know, even as myself, if I could perform this song, knowing the meaning, without just losing it. You wanna talk about power, well, this is it here, this video.
punishedexistence super heavy. It breaks my heart every time!!!!!! I would lose it and break into tears. I feel all her pain.
What a beautiful way to describe it, to me this shows how seasoned, tested and an absolute professional she is. You can see the emotions between every verse right in her eyes and she just holds it so well!! There's another live song she performed for a podcast or radio show called "Incomplete" and you can tell in the last chorus she's about to break but she really is TOUGH. Really an admirable artist.
so so honest.... Alanis wears her heart on her sleeve, beautifully honest ......
I only listen to unique and songs of special collection. This one belongs to my loving collection ♥
Only POSITIVE ❤Just Shine,Dear Beauty 🎉😻👑🥰✈️🐯🦁😌🌟☀️🌎😊Big Mac😉
Thank you Alanis for all the amazing songs you created. This specific song is very dear to my heart, as well as I was hoping. Not just because myself and my ex use to sing along to this song, but it was also very comforting in the time of my recovering after the break up. Don't know if I'll even heal, every pain and hurt I've gone through is exactly like the intro lines of each paragraph of simple together. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to not feel at all. But life is still worth living. Thank you so so much.
It may not be linear or immediate, but you will heal, and life is always still worth living. ❤
I came across this song at a very bad time in my relationship. Its hard to listen to some of the lyrics but its all true.
I was absolutely heartbroken when I heard this song. I then saw Alanis singing it at a really small event at King's College in London 2005 and it moved me to tears.
Still the best song out there!! 😭🥰😩😘
I want another MTV Unplugged concert...but this time with all the songs and 1080p video resolution. lol
Alanis undoubtedly has a great sensibility that gives her writing a sentence full of sublime meaning. When each of us suffer by losing a relationship, feeling that now we are alone, that our feelings are not good received in the heart of our lovers, or the illusion in love is dead. Hear these letters takes us back to personal moments, binds us, does that evoke our own life and then suffer this song because it reminds us exactly how we feel at the time of the end of the relationship.thanks Alanis
"Beautiful and Sad at the same time." 💔💔💔
"With you I knew god's face was handsome " - I can't believe it!!!
Te amo Alanis tanto como amo a la persona que me hizo conocer esta canción...
She sings the songs in my heart. Love this one and she's so lovely!
I love her music...I believe all of us can relate to her music in more ways than one
You've been my golden best friend (best friend with benefits).
Isn't it ironic, you oughta know
I need to email this link to my ex... I couldn't say it any better than this!
Incredible as always Alanis!
(I'm weeping all over my keyboard)
Ninguém canta princípio e fim tão bem como você.
One of the most saddest and beautiful song.
Always think of my boyfriend that died 7 years ago......
I can relate to this song so much
And yet...so many expectations from a single love relationship.... it takes a special man.... and yes I am still available...dear Alanis :)
She did SUCH a nice job on this! Wonderful talent!
Off course 🦊🥇🌎😁🙂🌉🆕🖐️🌞🌟💓💋💋💋😊

Love this song. Shame on AOL Music for turning on the autotune for Alanis though.
I feel numb listening to this...
😭💔
a-ma-zing !!!
Nie da się więcej powiedzieć...:(
I though the same.Verena Voght.
she looks so beautiful with a little weight!

😍😍😍⭐️⭐️⭐️😘😘😘🫶🫶🫶🌸😭😭😭
:( I thought
I wish AOL didn't AUTOTUNE her!!!!!!!!
EX. CE. LL. E N T.
What did the band have for food the night before they performed this? Steak? Sounds so damn heavy you guys are going to cracked the bowl. Lighten it up for jesus sake, she's a woman not an elephant. Who is helping around Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aol unfortuantely autotune's the artist that perform in their Sessiosn thus the reason this is off.
Her voice lost it's power, This sounds flat
Flawless song, flawless performance, FLAWLESS WOMAN.
beautiful
Que hermoso canta esta mujer la amo ❤😊
