I've been an alcoholic since 2008, until 2012. Alcohol is useless. You cannot sleep? You drink and you sleep, but you'll be tired. You don't like or you can't stand your life? Alcohol won't solve this.
Her shrugging off the priests hand when he tries to touch her shoulder has so so much symbolism… the entire video does. Such a deep song. Alanis Morissette always was and still is so unique and iconic! What a voice.
That was absolute disgust coming from Alanis when the Pig,I mean Priest touched her. And yes, I’m Catholic. That doesn’t mean I don’t know what “The Church” did over all these years.
My mother left the Catholic Church exactly because of that yet I went to the same private catholic school she did yet I wasn’t as beautiful as she was nor as powerful so no one messed with me I guess 🤷🏽♀️ but none of my kiddos are religious and actually preach against it! We just wish good unto others and live a life of passion and goodness!
Say it louder for the people in the back. I’m glad someone else thinks that. We were all so full of life and hope in the 90’s and now we’re in our 40’s and adulthood can make you just want to drink and eat
Lolita Pravedoni Iwancew happy birthday!! Enjoy your 30’s! I had a family in my 30’s and it shifted my friendships a lot. So 30’s were way different than 20’s (for me) make sure that if your relationships change, let it be in a good way and if someone is no longer good for you, let them on their way. I know you didn’t ask but I hope it’s helpful. Have fun!
Bro this song makes me cry but this comment section??? Everyone sharing their sobriety journey I am SO PROUD of you!!! I’ve lost too many friends to substance abuse and the world needs you!! Don’t mind me I’m just crying happy tears that this song helped others like it helps me every time I’m tempted to go back.
i feel ya as someone who lost my best friend to substance abuse seeing so many addicts inspired by Alanis's bravery is uplifting. I got another friend battling it now and repeesentation has allowed better therapy options to exist now then what used to be just AA (Which dont work on athiests likeu friends whom don't believe in higher powers lol)
Being 40 is not old! I still listen to young artists, but it's only to remind me it's still a savage,ungrateful world. Love still concur all. Greed was humanity's death discovery. So love all.
Wait, soooo, was she just wasted in the ironic video, seeing a bunch of hallucinations of herself, and after her car died and she pulled off the road, she was immediately arrested for impaired driving and this AA or NA meeting is part of her sentence? And of course, it makes sense the “You outta know” Alanis is there too, she must have finally been identified as the person caught on camera blowing a dude infront of a packed theatre full of families watching the Lion King!! Ohh nooo 😮
Ahh, Arrested for impaired driving and driving off the road, when cops arrived on the scene she was talking to three other hallucinations of herself. Actually, I think the Alanis with the white shirt is supposed to be the “you outta know” Alanis? I think the scenes where she’s playing with the band, not the walking around by herself parts
SUBZEROUK yes she is. I teach 10th and 11th grade physics in NYC and all of these students play “ironic” and “hand in my pocket”. And “You Oughta Know”. You are just saying that because maybe you don’t find alanis still relevant. But her songs are always relatable though the decades. Girls are angsty, You just don’t know how “You Oughta Know” speaks to them.
@SUBZEROUK She could be relevant if she made sound bites for Tik Tok. Then the youth of today would flock to find out about her music...lol That being said I know so many youths of today being raised by us '90s kids who were raised on classic rock/County...ect music by our parents thus appreciates past music.
Please never stop. You are the rhythm my mother lived by. You expressed what she needed through a divorce/domestic violence and finally cancer. She played your songs with me in her last days. I wish this came out before she passed. Please never stop.
6 Million veiws is soooooo much dude! People just severely lost there understanding of numbers! 6 million x 4min = 6666h non stop. This video played over 2 Years non stop pure Alanis ;) Edit: It has more play time than it is old!
Alanis held our hands through our 20s and now she's finally back to help us process the crisis of our 30s. I got so happy when I saw the Ironic outfit.
"Jagged Little Pill" got you through Middle school? "Alanis" and "Now Is the Time" albums got me through Early high school before grunge took over. "Jagged Little Pill" got me over the 18 hill into adulthood.
My name is Daliah and I'm an alcoholic addict Currently in a relapse about getting back to being sober. I was clean for 10 years before I had a relapse. I did it before and I can do it again. To the addict still suffering.... What we can't do alone we can all do together. 💜🙏🙌
It's like the heroines of Ironic meeting each other after 25 years, telling each other what was their life through these decades. Welcome back, Mrs Morisette!
So big. Recognizing parts of herself in the addict's around her. She was under enormous pressure from a very young age. It's amazing that she's here, committed to her craft and her family, and still baring her soul for us. Jagged Little Pill saved my life when my mom died in '96, when I was 18. Alanis will always, always have a home in my heart for that
Alanis' music helped me thru rough patches from 19-25 mainly...funny how singers remain special during hardships...glad she helped u thru your mum's death..young age to lose her
@White Lotus I ended up adopting a little one eye pup who was a lot worse off than I was doing.. I focused all my energy in fixing that little guy. He saved my life.
“I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit” I’ve been sober for six months now and this is a brilliant song. It describes exactly how for me drinking is a way to hide/run away from stress and trauma. I also love how she sees herself in everyone in the circle. Addicts and alcoholics may have different stories, but the core feelings are usually the same.
Congrats on 6 months James! I happened to stumble upon this video and something told me that I needed to watch. Im just starting out on my road to recovery, and going to go to my first NA meeting next week. I've known I needed to do this for quite some time and have been self-medicating to control when I can wake up and when I can go to sleep, so hopefully again take this video as a sign that I need to finally follow through and go to a meeting
Kristen Annear wow that is a HUGE step! It’s never easy to admit defeat, but ultimately recovery is a very rewarding journey. I’ve been in and out of sobriety for five years now, so no matter what don’t lose hope and take it easy on yourself. All that matters is today. :)
Congratulations my friend 👍I'm 6 months of buprenorphine.. Life's finally started falling in place.. I wish you all the luck and hope in your journey 👍
Keep moving forward on your journey, my friends! Life can get so much better! I spent 10 years as an addict before climbing out. I'm about to reach my 11 yr milestone and it honestly feels like a completely different life time at this point... There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you fuck up - just try again. Don't be too hard on yourself 💜🖤💜
While she’s clearly a gifted artist, this work continues to verify her stability as a person. Always her true self, no pretense or scrambling to “re-invention”. What an amazing testament to her as an individual, all art aside. Bravo!
What I appreciate the most about this video is that addiction is not glamorized at all. It's not a party or romantic. It's a bunch of desperate and exhausted people in a barren room with the damage their vices have done apparent.
I'm named after Alanis Morrisette. And i'm very proud of that. She's so brave to put herself on a plate and say this is who i am you can like me or you can hate me either's fine but i'm still me regardless. I'm now clean and sober. 1 year and 4 months clean from Cocaine. 4 months clean from self harm. 3 months sober. 2 months clean from purging. Very proud. It really is one day at a time. I use my addictions to escape the world. To escape reality. To feel happy i used coke. To feel release from the pressure of everything weighing me down i cut. To escape reality i drink. To feel control i throw up. But i'm learning that i can be happy without coke. That i can find ways of release that don't hurt me. There's ways i can get release without having to escape from the fact that that's one of my coping mechanisms. I can have ways of escapism that are productive and helpful. And i can build a life that i don't need to escape from. And that throwing up happens because i can't control it and i can have more control by not doing it. There's a lot i'm able to control and when i control my food and eating i lose control in so many aspects. I'm very excited about the life i'm building. One where addictions aren't something that control my life. I've had to draw the line at any use of these substances or methods because for me there isn't a line after that, i'll just keep doing it. I can't have one drink, i can either have no drinks or as many as possible until i'm unconscious. Thank you so much other Alanis for giving us this part of you.
Proud... music has many healing attributes. Keep on the positive. I was in a dark place once.. actually around the same time of "jagged little pill" came a band called (Jars of clay) with songs like "worlds apart" and "love song for a savior" which pulled me through many a time... I pray you find peace like that!💖
7 months and 22 days clean and sober and it was this song when it was released that started my journey of open-mindedness, I've been to rehab, I've got a sponsor, I work a program now, I'm so grateful for your music alanis thankyou
I’m pretty sure Alanis will be just as proud of you as the rest of the world that have read your comment. You are strong & brave & never forget that. We all wish you love, peace & strength on your journey of life xxx
Hey "songwriting" kids..Never underestimate the power of a great opening line.."These are the reasons I drink.. The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not".. Right through to the last line in the song.."I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit"..Treat this track as a free masterclass in song writing.
You've grown, healed and evolved so much but you're still so brutally honest and raw about things that matter and life as a human. I'm so grateful to you Alanis. Thank you for staying true to yourself, your sound and your artform. This song is so upbeat but so deep at the same time and the video totally takes it to another level. I'm so so excited for this next album. Its so rare for a longtime artist to maintain their sound and authenticity after healing and coming out the other side of trauma, but you've done it! And i LOVE IT!
Still helping me to this day in my recovery so often we trade on addiction for another. We justify IT as a " better addiction. Less lethal... Thank you, mam, your music sees us!
Our world needs her voice and wisdom now more than ever. The only way to save the world is to find peace within your self and let that energy flow out through creativity.
SimplyEmily82 I have a different type of canvas... I’m a dog groomer. 🐕✂️ i work with many elderly, rescued and sick dogs and help them feel and look better. I also study astrology.
Omg she finally came out with a song again. She the only one that has never tried to be glamorous and let anyone take over her career requiring her to look sexy.
So caught up in helping others that you almost aren't even allowed to face your own demons or cry out for help so instead you turn to vices. That's the message I get from this video and good god it hits home. I imagine this is the four Alanises from the Ironic video, who at the time represented the fun, youthful, and daring sides of a girl trying to navigate the world, but have now morphed into the person she has become: the stressed out mother, the nostalgic woman wanting to cling to her past/youth (dressed as the driver from Ironic), and the dolled up celebrity who can't get a word in without the media and fans bombarding her, yet all we are allowed to see is the cleaned up woman too busy being everyone else's therapist. Love you, Alanis!!
I want to amend one part of my comment. When I said the version of Alanis dressed as the driver from Ironic was her trying to cling to her youth I didn't mean in a vain or beauty oriented way. First off, Alanis hasn't fucking aged in almost 30 years. Secondly, I meant she's longing to be the person she used to be, the person trying to navigate the world which we only do when we feel like we have something to offer the world and the world has something to offer us in return. She no longer feels like she does. She feels like she's slowly losing that part of herself and she's struggling to come to terms with it, hence why that version of herself keeps looking back at someone dying and can't even bring herself to acknowledge it beyond an occasional glance. She feels done, like she and the world have nothing for each other anymore and that's not exactly the best feeling in the world or an easy thing to embrace. I have to say I disagree and can't imagine a world without Alanis's music and even her mere presence, but this is just how I'm interpreting her feelings through what I'm seeing in her video.
She's been so true to herself that at this times it overwhelms me. My brain and my ears were in need to listen to her work again, so fresh at this moment you that you listen to everything the same. Welcome Back Alanis we missed you badly! Come to Costa Rica again pleeeeeeeeease
this song is so current. the beat, the tempo, the chords, musically- this is so grounded in relevance. but the lyrics... a timeless issue, speaks to all ages- i've been addicted to at least *something* ever since i was a little girl. sex masquerading as love, love masquerading as validation, cigarettes masquerading as a breather, weed masquerading as clearing of the mind, food as a void filler, booze as a showcase of everything i could be but am not because of all these demons. i need to relisten to this. and more importantly, i think i feel like writing a new song. thanks, alanis. no wonder every alanis out there is named after you! x
@@EllaStone Sure, take care :). Oh, check out this one - brand new, great lyrics: Per Gessle - Around The Corner (The Comfort Song) (feat. Helena Josefsson)
When the comment is significantly more insightful, thoughtful and lyrical than the track... I'd like to hear that song Ms Stone, if all your writing resonates so lucidly. And, take care of yourself x
i admire an artist that stick to their art and keep doing what made them successful in the first place and dont go changing their identity to please the modern fan.👏👏
To: ANYONE battling any addiction or knows SOMEONE who is, which with that now includes EVERYONE, Alanis deserves a Nobel Prize for this song. She not only shows the courage to speak from the heart, but has her finger directly on the pulse of how it feels to be gripped by this heinous affliction that destroys so much without prejudice. This song should be an anthem to recovery and she has won me over as a fan for life. Keep it real, Ms. Morissette and THANK YOU!!!
My mum died of a heroin overdose when I was 18 months old. Alanis is the only artist who has ever been able to make me feel (just about every emotion there is) and come out the other end feeling stronger and more grateful for the life I have.
@@benjamingill3777 I'm sorry for your loss, and it's all senseless from both sides. The afflicted, the affected and she sees both sides. Becausae she's been there and is handling it with grace and using her forum for advocation of the truth. The truth is the strength you feel when councelor Morrisette walk out of that gym at the end. I tell people the true message of the song needs the video. My eyes are never dry by the end of it.
Is that really true? Is EVERYONE battling addiction or in close contact with someone who is? I think you're trying to normalize addiction, and that really isn't the sort of thing we should normalize.
There is a double meaning in the song lyrics made clearer by the visuals: “These are the reasons I ( medicate with xyz crutch)” is the personal story each support group member tells each other to identify into the grp. We see their backstory acted out around each of them. But then the meaning changes when she is interviewed She points to the PEOPLE and says “these are the reasons I don’t even think I could quit” ( the recovery support group members are the reasons now). Tellingly, the news crew isn’t interested in that part lol. The meaning of the lyrics have changed: “ Here we are: nothing could give respite like THEY ( the group members) do. “Cant function without it ( recovery).” Also though The priest actor portrays a “13th” step* attempt in the group ( adding unspoken sexual addiction shame to the long list) and the recipient portrays the discomfort and the internalized social pressure on targets to not set boundary limits directly. . (*There are only 12 steps.) There is also double meaning as parts of her life are portrayed in each character, of course, as many fans recognize. The empowerment from the recovery group itself is the underlying message, which is ultimately rejected by one of the members who leaves them. Not everyone is capable of sharing vulnerabilities or of identifying with others vulnerabilities. Not everyone makes it.
Her music is more timely than ever. She's got that one song where she says she hasn't left the house in a while, that other one where she has to keep smiling, and this one where all she does is drink...i think she hit a world wide chord this time around!
These are the reasons I drink The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not These are the reasons I overdo it I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits Now, even though I've been busted I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong One more hit It feels so helpful in my need for respite And here are the reasons I eat Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry Nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong One more sip It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit And these are the reasons I can't even see straight And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects And I am left wondering how I would I function without it Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong One more rip I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit
As I sit here, struggling with the same issues, drinking a beer now, smoking cigs, even tho my boyfriend and I quit smoking last month, awaiting my dealer to show up with some perks....I struggle, I cry, I want to change....I want to do better....I equally don't want to change but I do want to stop. Thank you for making me face my demons. I WILL over come. I am not alone and if you are out there too, facing the same issues, be strong, one minute, one day, one week at a time....WE can do this, we are not alone and change can come....believe it and we can achieve it my friend!
Nik Stamps... You may have heard it said that drugs and alcohol are not your problem they’re your solution. PLEASE don’t do like me and wait your entire life to address the source of the pain that makes you feel the need to escape. For me it’s been FEAR. Every poor decision I’ve made has been based in fear. And it all stemmed from what became stored in my subconscious from infancy. Some pretty deep stuff...proceed with caution. Learn all you can but be sure and take action to change your thinking I never would that’s why I stayed stuck. Good luck to you and yours.
Recently joined AA. I definitely think you have to be completely honest with yourself about what you do and don't believe and are and aren't ready to do, but it is an incredible environment where you can start to face your issues.
I know it's really hard. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired as the saying goes. Tired of the anxiety and illness that a constant hangover brings. Then you have another drink to stop the anxiety. It's just a big circle that never ends.
Her producer from Jagged Little Pill, Glen Ballard, described it so well on his instagram: "The transcendent Alanis ... I am blessed to have collaborated with an artist whose courage and truth is an inspiration to us all." 😭👏❤️😭👏❤️
I got chills whatching this video! Alanis is my all time favourite and I'm so glad to see her doing what she does best. I feel my life is back on track again. Alanis, I freaking love you! Thank you!
This also speaks so well about depression and the mechanisms we use to cope... Not solely addiction. I almost wish there were hotline numbers at the end in case others needed them. Beautiful work Alan's
I was supposed to see Alanis with a long time friend of mine on the 17th but I just learned of his passing and am deeply saddened. I just had to listen to this song today in memory of him. R.I.P. Matt! You were a great friend and I'll miss you forever and love you!
Soooo strange when she comes out with a perfect song that I didn’t know I desperately needed to hear. Last time that happened was over a decade ago with “Uninvited”....😳✨💖
😨More like 22 yrs ago, that is such an haunting/amazing song. She can still belt them out though, Great new song. Hope everyone's having a great Sunday🦋
First viewing = Busy admiring her current body and make up. 2nd viewing = Absorbing her vocals, beat and lyrics. 3rd viewing = Officially hooked again to Alanis.
Tin 💗 Tron for me my first viewing was “ooh! she has a new song!” And I notice the “Ironic” outfit. 2nd viewing: actually watches Video and feel sorry for her.
I'm not with Matt everyone got it I was with meo till he took Tina home and sat there and tried to switched my stuff with hers ... They stole my babies and are sitting in my house and trying to act like the government they stole alot of money and my hole system .. oops guys oh fucking well give me my kids back and sorry meo. It Tina is not me give it the fuck up man .
Wow! The imagery speaks even louder than the lyrics. Do they give music video directors awards? The casket over her left shoulder, CarlosCasteñeda-like, death advising her to stay seated. The video hits every type of addiction and social obstacle. The grief & loss in the black woman’s face looking at the baby omg there’s a story there. Lol the 13th steppin priest. And the perfectionism /control addiction one who stays guarded smiling but never shares anything personal and cannot identify in with the others just walks out leaving her silent empty chair. The door swings both ways. Not everybody makes it. So sad. So powerful.
I don't know if you will see this Alanis but it brought me to tears,,, cause I know what it means to be addicted and unable to stop,,,, not wanting to stop.
How many people STILL loves Alanis Morissette???
Um, some of them!
Me 💜
темнота *** me
I still do, wish she would celebrate the other albuns as mush as she does JLP tho. I get why she does it, but man, give us some SFIJ tour.
Tarô Nerd SFIJ is her best album so far!
I’m hitting 5 years sober in 6 days. Love this. Thank you, Alanis.
Well congrats! 💫 💫 That's frickin' _awesome._ 👍You don't know me, but I'm proud of you. 🌞🌟🌠

14 years sober this year. 🧡
Not sober, yet, but this song hit me like a semi-truck... I don't think a song has ever hit me this hard before. 😭

Loved seeing "Ironic" Alanis in this video. So much love for this woman.
I had the same thing! Nice isn't it?
I lost it when I saw that! My absolute favorite song ever! ❤️
When I saw that, I wondered if other hers would show up from other previous videos, lol!
@@AshleyMintz absolutely same.
Wish I could tell her "thank you" with "one hand in my pocket"
Alanis and Tori Amos are my favorite singers
Yay Alanis is back, portraying everyones paronioa, anxiety, perpetual misfortune, and depression.
Portraying maybe she like everyone else has a little bit of all of that
The way we like it.
i think this came from her post partum depression
Yassss so trendy!!!
A beautiful empath. 😍
The "Ironic" beenie and scarf look 🙌🏼unafraid to reference or be referenced. What a queen!

Ahh, Arrested for impaired driving and driving off the road, when cops arrived on the scene she was talking to three other hallucinations of herself. Actually, I think the Alanis with the white shirt is supposed to be the “you outta know” Alanis? I think the scenes where she’s playing with the band, not the walking around by herself parts
A independent artist,still relevant to this generation.
lest we forget she was Madonna's first Maverick artist.
SUBZEROUK yes she is. I teach 10th and 11th grade physics in NYC and all of these students play “ironic” and “hand in my pocket”. And “You Oughta Know”. You are just saying that because maybe you don’t find alanis still relevant. But her songs are always relatable though the decades. Girls are angsty, You just don’t know how “You Oughta Know” speaks to them.

6 Million veiws is soooooo much dude!
People just severely lost there understanding of numbers!
6 million x 4min = 6666h non stop. This video played over 2 Years non stop pure Alanis ;)
Edit: It has more play time than it is old!
On repeat for MONTHS
I will never tire of Alanis' voice, or her lyricism. Glad to see you back doing what you do best.
Yes agreed
100%!!!
VonBlade I’m with you. I’ve missed her.
As a 36 years old man, seeing Alanis using the "Ironic" outfit 2:36 , fills my heart with so much nostalgia and feels, simply love u, Alanis
Exactly.
YES!
Me too being 36 doesn't bring us back to the 90s kid mode again?
I thought I was the only one who noticed that.😊
so do i
Alanis held our hands through our 20s and now she's finally back to help us process the crisis of our 30s. I got so happy when I saw the Ironic outfit.
I was a young teen when she broke out on the scene and I'm 40 now. 😲
@@Sarah8561 You're still pretty young. 40 means 30 these days.
@@mistersurrealist haha I'll take it! 😊
Same feeling
@@Sarah8561 Same here, turned 40 last year!
man...jagged little pill got me through middle school. and now this song...she's helping me get through my 30s.
you nailed this, alanis.
same
Same girl!
"Jagged Little Pill" got you through Middle school? "Alanis" and "Now Is the Time" albums got me through Early high school before grunge took over. "Jagged Little Pill" got me over the 18 hill into adulthood.
Same
seems we were all growing up, together....
She's back and her voice is better than ever!
Lex but it's not
Absolutely agree! She's amazing, now more than ever!
Her voice it's absolutely tired already to be honest 😞
Do you have an ear?
Don't fight You're ALL right... her voice is amazing, tired, honest, not the same as it used to be, and better than ever all at the same time.
As an alcoholic this is the song that gives me hope till this day…3 attempts and still listening to you
God bless you!
My name is Daliah and I'm an alcoholic addict Currently in a relapse about getting back to being sober. I was clean for 10 years before I had a relapse. I did it before and I can do it again. To the addict still suffering.... What we can't do alone we can all do together. 💜🙏🙌
@Guusje Heijneman thank you. It's not been easy.
Daliah Fuentes you’ve been sober for 10 years , that’s great , you will be able to do it again , if you’ve done once for so long means you can .
@Daliah Fuentes, you can do it again. It's not easy, but easy things are for weak people. Believe yourself.
You’re not alone ! Be proud ! You’re a warrior !
Hang in there. You can do it.
“The reasons i feel everything so deeply when I’m not medicated” The line that hooked me to this song.
E Israel Andrade E it’s a line for our modern world.
Same
Same especially when I'm at your feet
I'm the opposite. Drinking is kind of the only thing that makes me feel my true feelings clearly. Then it gets to be too much. So I drink more.
She's kinda fat in 2020 and her eyes 👀 sunk into her face
This song deserve a grammy award 👌🏾
And sadly it won’t get one
It’s time
Whole album deserves a grammy award
Yas!!!
Corpsi in a different genre, of course
15 months sober!! Keep coming back.
18 now congratz and keep it up
It's like the heroines of Ironic meeting each other after 25 years, telling each other what was their life through these decades. Welcome back, Mrs Morisette!
And she released the video, the same day 24 years apart. How brilliant!
@@noridarodriguez7087 I didn't know that! Thanks for your info!
This is why I love Alanis Morissette so much.
Isn't it ironic? She still has that voice after all these years.
Dancing Dakini she sounds a bit different but still great.
Nope. I've always expected that voice to be great. You ought to know. ;)
She is god isn’t she,
so duh
What a Jagged little pill
Sounds different to me but about as good
I have not used illegal drugs in over 20 years. God. Rehab. Church Friends. Music. Alanis. That is how I stay clean.
So big. Recognizing parts of herself in the addict's around her. She was under enormous pressure from a very young age. It's amazing that she's here, committed to her craft and her family, and still baring her soul for us.
Jagged Little Pill saved my life when my mom died in '96, when I was 18. Alanis will always, always have a home in my heart for that
Alanis' music helped me thru rough patches from 19-25 mainly...funny how singers remain special during hardships...glad she helped u thru your mum's death..young age to lose her
xo
That album helped me through a rough patch in my marriage and insecurities I was dealing with in that time.
JLP also helped me through my mum's death in '96, I was 13. I would sit on my bedroom floor and listen to it on repeat.
Stay strong
4 years, 64 days sober. I am still here.
💪👍
@White Lotus I ended up adopting a little one eye pup who was a lot worse off than I was doing.. I focused all my energy in fixing that little guy. He saved my life.
@White Lotus I wish you the very best in life, you deserve it.
you're freaken awesome...keep that shit up
Fucking awesome. You are incredible
I love that she looks like an actual human being, not some unrealistic plastic and silicone concoction. She's beautiful.
Right? So true
She looks good
0 days sober here. just love alanis... been here past the best of 96' and the breakout. the voice, the message ... you are still the best
Same here !!!! And I relapsed 😢
I feel you both... We'll get there!
I relapsed.
“I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit”
I’ve been sober for six months now and this is a brilliant song. It describes exactly how for me drinking is a way to hide/run away from stress and trauma. I also love how she sees herself in everyone in the circle. Addicts and alcoholics may have different stories, but the core feelings are usually the same.
Congrats on 6 months James! I happened to stumble upon this video and something told me that I needed to watch. Im just starting out on my road to recovery, and going to go to my first NA meeting next week. I've known I needed to do this for quite some time and have been self-medicating to control when I can wake up and when I can go to sleep, so hopefully again take this video as a sign that I need to finally follow through and go to a meeting
Kristen Annear wow that is a HUGE step! It’s never easy to admit defeat, but ultimately recovery is a very rewarding journey. I’ve been in and out of sobriety for five years now, so no matter what don’t lose hope and take it easy on yourself. All that matters is today. :)
Congratulations my friend 👍I'm 6 months of buprenorphine.. Life's finally started falling in place.. I wish you all the luck and hope in your journey 👍
Keep moving forward on your journey, my friends! Life can get so much better!
I spent 10 years as an addict before climbing out. I'm about to reach my 11 yr milestone and it honestly feels like a completely different life time at this point... There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you fuck up - just try again. Don't be too hard on yourself 💜🖤💜
Congratulations to you all!
She's in my mind. She says things so honestly. Everything.
no shit is fucking mmusic!n satan aint dumb gemius!
@Luis Collado well, I am not sure how she will find it in herself to go through with life after this but I am sure she'll manage.
@Luis Collado who are you to say that I’m sure she’s happy and healthy and thankful to be alive to be recovering from addiction
Totally the same. I just discovered this song and I am obsessed.
@@kaytebush6434 I know it’s just full of so much emphasis so much power to her voice
While she’s clearly a gifted artist, this work continues to verify her stability as a person. Always her true self, no pretense or scrambling to “re-invention”. What an amazing testament to her as an individual, all art aside. Bravo!
Sounds classy to me. And far too Catholic as well hehe
Well, you know how those Catholic girls can be....
What I appreciate the most about this video is that addiction is not glamorized at all. It's not a party or romantic. It's a bunch of desperate and exhausted people in a barren room with the damage their vices have done apparent.
The brilliance just doesn't fade. She always has a way of peeling away the outer and into the soul.
How many people STILL loves Alanis Morissette???
I'm named after Alanis Morrisette. And i'm very proud of that. She's so brave to put herself on a plate and say this is who i am you can like me or you can hate me either's fine but i'm still me regardless.
I'm now clean and sober.
1 year and 4 months clean from Cocaine.
4 months clean from self harm.
3 months sober.
2 months clean from purging.
Very proud. It really is one day at a time.
I use my addictions to escape the world. To escape reality.
To feel happy i used coke.
To feel release from the pressure of everything weighing me down i cut.
To escape reality i drink.
To feel control i throw up.
But i'm learning that i can be happy without coke. That i can find ways of release that don't hurt me. There's ways i can get release without having to escape from the fact that that's one of my coping mechanisms. I can have ways of escapism that are productive and helpful. And i can build a life that i don't need to escape from. And that throwing up happens because i can't control it and i can have more control by not doing it. There's a lot i'm able to control and when i control my food and eating i lose control in so many aspects.
I'm very excited about the life i'm building. One where addictions aren't something that control my life. I've had to draw the line at any use of these substances or methods because for me there isn't a line after that, i'll just keep doing it. I can't have one drink, i can either have no drinks or as many as possible until i'm unconscious.
Thank you so much other Alanis for giving us this part of you.
Proud... music has many healing attributes. Keep on the positive. I was in a dark place once.. actually around the same time of "jagged little pill" came a band called (Jars of clay) with songs like "worlds apart" and "love song for a savior" which pulled me through many a time... I pray you find peace like that!💖
Well done and hold on ! You are right to be proud 👏🏻👏🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Lucky you!🍀
Such a positive comments section. Alanis really deserves that
This women is the voice of the 90s. Really wish musicians had this much talent nowadays!
We need Artists with a real story to tell more than ever. Thank you Alanis
So well said. 100% agree.
Yes. Indeed we do
I can help with that. I’m working on it.
Try listening to Meg Myers he's like the closest thing this new generation has to her
This video and it's accompanying lyrics give me the strength to seek help before it's too late. Thanks Alanis.
Me too,you can over Come. I send you my love and support. Be strong, make that change my friend!
Yes seek there is an abundance of ways to heal. Bless xx
Big hugs🖤
This right here keeps me going. Writing, recording, directing, editing. All here: ua-cam.com/video/D292PmJqEnA/v-deo.html
I just decided this past week to seek help too. You’re not alone. Sending strength 🤙
7 months and 22 days clean and sober and it was this song when it was released that started my journey of open-mindedness, I've been to rehab, I've got a sponsor, I work a program now, I'm so grateful for your music alanis thankyou
Love and support your way. 🙏💜
Great,12step with us from japan
I’m pretty sure Alanis will be just as proud of you as the rest of the world that have read your comment. You are strong & brave & never forget that. We all wish you love, peace & strength on your journey of life xxx
Congratulations! Welcome home... Your not alone.
Hope you're still holding strong! ~hugs~
I have ALWAYS LOVED how she has balls to say things that most people in the industry don't and UNAPOLOGETICALLY.
Hey "songwriting" kids..Never underestimate the power of a great opening line.."These are the reasons I drink..
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not".. Right through to the last line in the song.."I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit"..Treat this track as a free masterclass in song writing.
You've grown, healed and evolved so much but you're still so brutally honest and raw about things that matter and life as a human. I'm so grateful to you Alanis. Thank you for staying true to yourself, your sound and your artform. This song is so upbeat but so deep at the same time and the video totally takes it to another level. I'm so so excited for this next album. Its so rare for a longtime artist to maintain their sound and authenticity after healing and coming out the other side of trauma, but you've done it! And i LOVE IT!
Still helping me to this day in my recovery so often we trade on addiction for another.
We justify IT as a " better addiction.
Less lethal...
Thank you, mam, your music sees us!
Our world needs her voice and wisdom now more than ever. The only way to save the world is to find peace within your self and let that energy flow out through creativity.
Internet messed us us all up.
Exactly!!
Beautiful. What art do you do? How did you find peace?
SimplyEmily82 I have a different type of canvas... I’m a dog groomer. 🐕✂️ i work with many elderly, rescued and sick dogs and help them feel and look better. I also study astrology.
Here I am! Fan since 1995! 🇺🇾
Omg she finally came out with a song again. She the only one that has never tried to be glamorous and let anyone take over her career requiring her to look sexy.
Natalie Valenzuela When you write and sing like Alanis you dont need to look sexy to sell a lot of records!
@@gercomar2892 I know that's why she is amazing that way
Then you surely havent seen her early work
I’ve always appreciated that about her
@@MonieMuse then you too surely havent seen what she was doing at the beginning of her music career . its on here you can find it
My algorithm must be high because it showed me this song 4 years later!!! Come ON UA-cam! I've been subscribed to Alanis channel for years now!
So caught up in helping others that you almost aren't even allowed to face your own demons or cry out for help so instead you turn to vices. That's the message I get from this video and good god it hits home. I imagine this is the four Alanises from the Ironic video, who at the time represented the fun, youthful, and daring sides of a girl trying to navigate the world, but have now morphed into the person she has become: the stressed out mother, the nostalgic woman wanting to cling to her past/youth (dressed as the driver from Ironic), and the dolled up celebrity who can't get a word in without the media and fans bombarding her, yet all we are allowed to see is the cleaned up woman too busy being everyone else's therapist.
Love you, Alanis!!
Open Casket Ready Faces Love this!
I want to amend one part of my comment. When I said the version of Alanis dressed as the driver from Ironic was her trying to cling to her youth I didn't mean in a vain or beauty oriented way. First off, Alanis hasn't fucking aged in almost 30 years. Secondly, I meant she's longing to be the person she used to be, the person trying to navigate the world which we only do when we feel like we have something to offer the world and the world has something to offer us in return. She no longer feels like she does. She feels like she's slowly losing that part of herself and she's struggling to come to terms with it, hence why that version of herself keeps looking back at someone dying and can't even bring herself to acknowledge it beyond an occasional glance. She feels done, like she and the world have nothing for each other anymore and that's not exactly the best feeling in the world or an easy thing to embrace. I have to say I disagree and can't imagine a world without Alanis's music and even her mere presence, but this is just how I'm interpreting her feelings through what I'm seeing in her video.
Open Casket Ready Faces thank you for this comment
Thanks for that deep and interesting interpretation of the video, this was what I was looking for :)
Radekuroshi Thanks. I try to insert some thought and feeling in between a bunch of comments from people who only speak meme
Been loving Alanis since Jagged Little Pill 💊... she’s still as original, sassy and upfront as she has always been.
Also still absolutely gorgeous.
Francesca Powell damn straight
Jagged Little Pill Pill?
Yes!
Yes!
I was 14 when Jagged Little Pill came out, coming to 40 and i'm still here. Thank you!
I was 25 when Jagged Little Pill came out I was coming out of a bad breakup & other emotional crap. Now I'm 51 & I still understand.
I was 13 when that album came out and I still listen to it now
Same here- same exact age. Alanis is still writing meaningful and honest stuff...I'm impressed.
I feel every part of your comment. I was 12 and sadly not all of my friends are still here, but Alanis gave me strength
That's me!
Her songs embody the stages of grief through the years .
JLP saw me through a terrible marriage, liberating divorce, and the rest of the insane 90's. Alannis is the very soul of Gen X. Preach, sister!
It was so much fun playing the Creepy Priest in "Why I Drink." Alanis was as friendly as could be as were all that worked on it.
Awesome 👍
Jealous...much? Lol
She is amazing. I'm really glad you were able to bring the vision to life!
Congrats dude!
What a privilege to get to work with her. One of the greatest!
She's been so true to herself that at this times it overwhelms me. My brain and my ears were in need to listen to her work again, so fresh at this moment you that you listen to everything the same. Welcome Back Alanis we missed you badly! Come to Costa Rica again pleeeeeeeeease
Isn't it ironic?
@@trakrekkid Don't you think?
30 years in with Alanis.
This song saves lives.
this song is so current. the beat, the tempo, the chords, musically- this is so grounded in relevance. but the lyrics... a timeless issue, speaks to all ages- i've been addicted to at least *something* ever since i was a little girl.
sex masquerading as love, love masquerading as validation, cigarettes masquerading as a breather, weed masquerading as clearing of the mind, food as a void filler, booze as a showcase of everything i could be but am not because of all these demons.
i need to relisten to this. and more importantly, i think i feel like writing a new song. thanks, alanis. no wonder every alanis out there is named after you! x
I can relate to all that, except for cigarettes. Insightful in terms of masquerade. Good comment Stone.
@@wojciechchmiel2443 hey thanks chmiel!
@@EllaStone Sure, take care :). Oh, check out this one - brand new, great lyrics: Per Gessle - Around The Corner (The Comfort Song) (feat. Helena Josefsson)
this comment hit me
When the comment is significantly more insightful, thoughtful and lyrical than the track...
I'd like to hear that song Ms Stone, if all your writing resonates so lucidly. And, take care of yourself x
i admire an artist that stick to their art and keep doing what made them successful in the first place and dont go changing their identity to please the modern fan.👏👏
Her unique voice and presence. Welcome back, Alanis!
Loved her since my teens- I am 41. Man, this song hits hard
Ill be 40 come may 2024. I remember my friend copying her jagged little pill album for me way back when.
J ai 45 ans et elle m accompagné depuis mon adolescence, a mes étapes de vie, comme une grande sœur. Qu elle talent je l adore
To: ANYONE battling any addiction or knows SOMEONE who is, which with that now includes EVERYONE, Alanis deserves a Nobel Prize for this song. She not only shows the courage to speak from the heart, but has her finger directly on the pulse of how it feels to be gripped by this heinous affliction that destroys so much without prejudice. This song should be an anthem to recovery and she has won me over as a fan for life. Keep it real, Ms. Morissette and THANK YOU!!!
Yes. A Human Race Anthem. Thanks for your comment. It's about all of us.
My mum died of a heroin overdose when I was 18 months old. Alanis is the only artist who has ever been able to make me feel (just about every emotion there is) and come out the other end feeling stronger and more grateful for the life I have.
Alan from Gibraltar - wow says it all - thank you John
@@benjamingill3777 I'm sorry for your loss, and it's all senseless from both sides. The afflicted, the affected and she sees both sides. Becausae she's been there and is handling it with grace and using her forum for advocation of the truth. The truth is the strength you feel when councelor Morrisette walk out of that gym at the end. I tell people the true message of the song needs the video. My eyes are never dry by the end of it.
Is that really true? Is EVERYONE battling addiction or in close contact with someone who is? I think you're trying to normalize addiction, and that really isn't the sort of thing we should normalize.
"These are the reasons I don't even think I would quit" - very empowering message in this song.
What exactly about this song empowered you?
They literally just included the lyrics lmao. Why do you need more?
@@clockworkNate I like to understand where people are coming.
There is a double meaning in the song lyrics made clearer by the visuals:
“These are the reasons I ( medicate with xyz crutch)” is the personal story each support group member tells each other to identify into the grp. We see their backstory acted out around each of them.
But then the meaning changes when she is interviewed
She points to the PEOPLE and says “these are the reasons I don’t even think I could quit” ( the recovery support group members are the reasons now). Tellingly, the news crew isn’t interested in that part lol.
The meaning of the lyrics have changed:
“ Here we are: nothing could give respite like THEY ( the group members) do. “Cant function without it ( recovery).”
Also though
The priest actor portrays a “13th” step* attempt in the group ( adding unspoken sexual addiction shame to the long list) and the recipient portrays the discomfort and the internalized social pressure on targets to not set boundary limits directly.
. (*There are only 12 steps.)
There is also double meaning as parts of her life are portrayed in each character, of course, as many fans recognize. The empowerment from the recovery group itself is the underlying message, which is ultimately rejected by one of the members who leaves them. Not everyone is capable of sharing vulnerabilities or of identifying with others vulnerabilities. Not everyone makes it.
@@jordanallen3078 focus on yourself, not others. Then you will understand.
Die Liebe dieser Frau ist unfassbar
Im an old metal head like 50 ish but man o man do i love Alanis Morissette.
🤘
Same here.
Yep
Same here,I am an old metal head in my sixties and I love Alanis
Jay bray me toooo🤘🏿crazy .. she kicks ass!!!! Hard to believe she gots the ROCK goods!!!💀
Her music is more timely than ever. She's got that one song where she says she hasn't left the house in a while, that other one where she has to keep smiling, and this one where all she does is drink...i think she hit a world wide chord this time around!
H Kay When did she write the album?
@@MM-nh8ez She writing songs about 4 years ago I know Ablaze was one of the first songs she preformed in 2017 and Rest which didn't make the album.
It's super funny the way you put it and so true. . .
These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
Now, even though I've been busted
I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated
And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can't even see straight
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would I function without it
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more rip
I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit
These are such great and real lyrics!
Να είσαι καλά!!!!

Current alcoholic. Trying my best … this song makes me happy
As I sit here, struggling with the same issues, drinking a beer now, smoking cigs, even tho my boyfriend and I quit smoking last month, awaiting my dealer to show up with some perks....I struggle, I cry, I want to change....I want to do better....I equally don't want to change but I do want to stop. Thank you for making me face my demons. I WILL over come. I am not alone and if you are out there too, facing the same issues, be strong, one minute, one day, one week at a time....WE can do this, we are not alone and change can come....believe it and we can achieve it my friend!
Nik Stamps... You may have heard it said that drugs and alcohol are not your problem they’re your solution. PLEASE don’t do like me and wait your entire life to address the source of the pain that makes you feel the need to escape. For me it’s been FEAR. Every poor decision I’ve made has been based in fear. And it all stemmed from what became stored in my subconscious from infancy. Some pretty deep stuff...proceed with caution. Learn all you can but be sure and take action to change your thinking I never would that’s why I stayed stuck. Good luck to you and yours.
Recently joined AA. I definitely think you have to be completely honest with yourself about what you do and don't believe and are and aren't ready to do, but it is an incredible environment where you can start to face your issues.
reddit r/stopdrinking Come share your struggles.
I know it's really hard. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired as the saying goes. Tired of the anxiety and illness that a constant hangover brings. Then you have another drink to stop the anxiety. It's just a big circle that never ends.
When a wish to change is bigger then the fear of changing, that's when the change happens.
~I believe in you
God, her honesty is so beautifully brutal. I love her.
Her producer from Jagged Little Pill, Glen Ballard, described it so well on his instagram: "The transcendent Alanis ... I am blessed to have collaborated with an artist whose courage and truth is an inspiration to us all." 😭👏❤️😭👏❤️
If the disease of addiction had a thesis, it would be "I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong".
This song is so underrated. This is probably one of my favs from Alanis. I can't believe so many haven't heard it.
Terribly underrated. Such an amazing song.
I got chills whatching this video! Alanis is my all time favourite and I'm so glad to see her doing what she does best. I feel my life is back on track again. Alanis, I freaking love you! Thank you!
Geovani Medeiros 💘
Oooohhh her iconic ironic look💜
The Goddess herself has come out of the coma to save us all once again!
We ❤ you Alanis
This also speaks so well about depression and the mechanisms we use to cope... Not solely addiction. I almost wish there were hotline numbers at the end in case others needed them. Beautiful work Alan's
So Dixie Chicks, Gaga, and Alanis gave us new music in same month.. I can't deal..rise of the artists.. I really miss her voice
Yeah I love Alanis, and always have, she's brilliant. Dixie pigs couldn't wipe her ass, they will sell nothing!
I think Fiona Apple is dropping her new album soon as well.
And Celine is back ! 😊
Grimes!
Now, we need something from Natalie Merchant...
Alanis still absolutely crushing it
Yeah brother 😍❤❤❤❤❤👏
I was supposed to see Alanis with a long time friend of mine on the 17th but I just learned of his passing and am deeply saddened. I just had to listen to this song today in memory of him. R.I.P. Matt! You were a great friend and I'll miss you forever and love you!
Soooo strange when she comes out with a perfect song that I didn’t know I desperately needed to hear. Last time that happened was over a decade ago with “Uninvited”....😳✨💖
Ms Ginny , I totally relate!
😨More like 22 yrs ago, that is such an haunting/amazing song. She can still belt them out though, Great new song. Hope everyone's having a great Sunday🦋
Thank you was another great song
Ms Ginny more like over 20 years ago...uninvited is an old song.
Then I guess you didnt hear the💫Amazing💫 2012 "RECEIVE"? 😔I'm Sorry!😑
First viewing = Busy admiring her current body and make up.
2nd viewing = Absorbing her vocals, beat and lyrics.
3rd viewing = Officially hooked again to Alanis.
Tin 💗 Tron for me my first viewing was “ooh! she has a new song!” And I notice the “Ironic” outfit. 2nd viewing: actually watches Video and feel sorry for her.
Love that she is wearing the same outfit as Ironic.
Syl Luc and isn't it ironic, don't you think?
You Oughta Know the other outfit 😉
Exactly the first thing I figured out as well 😄😀
She finally arrived at the meeting she was driving to, *checks notes* ...TWENTY-FOUR YEARS LATER?!
Isn't it ironic?
No 😂
The "how i would function with out it," makes me tear up and ugly face cry every single time.
Me too
This song speaks to me. I’m not an alcoholic, but I have had depression and anxiety all my life.
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine though I'm not
Me too x
Abraham Hicks - for another way.
"Today's accomplishments are yesterday's impossibilities."

Real lyrics, real talent, a genuine true artist!
Mother of Music 🌸
“I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit”. I’ve never heard anyone explain it so well. Damn Alanis!!!!!
I'm not with Matt everyone got it I was with meo till he took Tina home and sat there and tried to switched my stuff with hers ... They stole my babies and are sitting in my house and trying to act like the government they stole alot of money and my hole system .. oops guys oh fucking well give me my kids back and sorry meo. It Tina is not me give it the fuck up man .
Wow! The imagery speaks even louder than the lyrics. Do they give music video directors awards?
The casket over her left shoulder, CarlosCasteñeda-like, death advising her to stay seated.
The video hits every type of addiction and social obstacle. The grief & loss in the black woman’s face looking at the baby omg there’s a story there.
Lol the 13th steppin priest.
And the perfectionism /control addiction one who stays guarded smiling but never shares anything personal and cannot identify in with the others just walks out leaving her silent empty chair. The door swings both ways. Not everybody makes it. So sad.
So powerful.
I don't know if you will see this Alanis but it brought me to tears,,, cause I know what it means to be addicted and unable to stop,,,, not wanting to stop.
This era is so powerful so far. The two songs released have both been very real and raw. This album is going to be an emotional listen.
My 34 year old self is loving this!!!!!!!! And her Ironic character... i see you 💚💚
I went to her concert yesterday. I cried of happiness, thank you Alanis.
Going tomorrow !!!
