for me it’s someone I needed to be ok to even really live and they hate me I can’t fix it and now I will never see them again And the first line of the second verse is so effing true! Sorry for being a freak...
I totally love this song and I also think it was a beautiful song TORCH written because I were married for 25 years and my husband passed away last year May 24th 2018. So the song describes our love as soulmates.. I grieve for one year and I laid down the Torch to move on with my life. Yeah the song definitely describes our life together. Sincerely, Rebia Kinard
I hope in the last two years you have found some peace and healing. I hope your wounds are healing and you have family n friends that are walking with you through this. I pray that God Blesses you again through your Loss
Most of my adult life I’ve been a bit of a loner, lost jobs and the friends that go with that. Had to move every two years or so, one problem or another. Finally have my own flat, live alone. One things remains constant is the music I listen to, especially Alanis I can relate to the lyrics and am a fan. She just has a way with words.
For me, I read that she wrote this after she grieved her relationship with Ryan Reynolds. I had a painful separation as well very recently. Since. you seem much older, do you have advice for anyone going through heartbreak and their life seeming bleak and meaningless?
This song came on on the way to the vet. My wife of 10 years, had a cocker spaniel that came to love me... 16 yeas old, but I knew her for 10 years. 2 weeks ago today, we had to put her down... and I lost it in the car when it came on. We have no kids, and it's so quiet in the house when my wife is gone. Nobody to greet me at the door... nobody peeking past the curtains when I pull up... nobody to run towards me when they go outside. Somehow, we move on... but still remember. 😌
I'm glad Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette now have married lives with children of their own. I'm glad they could find someone to have and hold for the rest of time- at least I hope so. The song is beautiful.
@@berenacampbell-wolfe-blanc5905 no she was sayijng in interviews afterwards that she never wanted to split. Also the lyrics of this song is one sided. She never wanted him to leave her
@@berenacampbell-wolfe-blanc5905 haha do you really believe the statements that are put out by celebs or their P.R teams after a breakup? They release untrue statements full of insincere platitudes so both parties can save face. Girl, you're gullible AF
Breakups suck. If only we could realize everything is okay on the other side once you move on from the pain. This song isn’t very good at all but it’s very telling how much she was hurt when she wrote it but I prefer when she sang with confidence about herself. Glad she found a good man to make her his wife and love her forever
Imagine being Ryan Reynolds and hearing this, knowing it's about him, but having already moved on to Scarlett Johansen. Awkwarrrd. This is what keeps me from sending notes to my ex. If he didn't want me, then my proclamation of love will only make him pity me. Fuck that. This is also why I'll never be with a guy who is better looking than I am! At the same time, props to Alanis for her respectful honesty, and for her subsequent acceptance and moving on.
funnybonecentral this song was from a place of sadness, the other, you oughta know, was about revenge. although both were about hurt they both individually show how much emotion a breakup holds
I love how are the women are like "omg who wouldn't miss Ryan Reynolds" and the you've got the guys saying "how could Ryan Reynolds leave Alanis" I'm sorry I'm with the women on this. Who seriously wouldn't miss Ryan Reynolds.
K... first of all....I AM CANADIAN, and so proud of our hot guy...but seriously... in all retrospect..he’s a man, just like any other man on the face of the earth..just famous, and handsome... But just a man... farts in bed under the covers and leaves his wife basting in it, leaves the toilet seat up, snores, has brutal morning breath...maybe really ugly disgusting stinky feet? Who knows? But seriously, he’s just a man, only human...the same as the rest of us, but just famous... like imagine, all of a sudden, a guy you’ve known all your life...farts, belches, sharts and laughing..BO as a teenager, pimples...just a human being... NO reason at all to idolize actually ors, singers, anyone famous... they are all as human as we are... but got lucky... as anyone of us could be someday too... the universe has got a plan for all of us, and we will ALL have or chance in the spotlight in one life or another. But just know that he is no hotter than many of the hot men out there... no fricking way... just more seen... there are much hotter guys out there lookwise...MUCH... and btw... yes, they are ALL Canadian too! Most of you guys have no idea what Canada is ACTUALLY like... its just like where you are... except it’s either a lot hotter, or a lot colder than where you are... depending on the season... summer is almost unbearably hot, yes...no igloos... but so hot you can barely breathe...and winter can be so frigid..your berries(men) would crawl up inside your body so far you could choke on them... everything to the extreme..no happy medium.. But Canada is the best country in the world!! Yay! Raptors won the championship tonight!! Closest game ever down to the last seconds! So exciting! The whole country was going WILD! And yeah! Ryan Reynolds...dude! Hope you are still cheering for your home man! Probably are, cause us Canadians are loyal and stick together..
Estio To carry a torch for a lost lover means to continue carrying the pain of your loss, which is a way of being unable to let go and move on. My understanding is that she realizes that finally, she has to get past her grief and go on with her life. That's the meaning of her decision to lay down the torch. Very moving song.
Could also be in the sense of their relationship ending. Carrying a torch for someone = loving someone as to say she didnt think it would end. She never thought she'd have to lay down the torch.
Someone said "Marvelous song" Ryan Reynolds portrays Wade Wilson in two different MARVEL movies. MARVEL MARVELOUS!!!!!!! Not to mention this song is about Ryan Reynolds. #illuminatiisreal
Ryan Reynolds has now appeared in 4 movies, where his character was based on a character from a Marvel comic book! And he has played Wade Wilson 3 times already. Yay, Marvel. Yay, Ryan Reynolds!
At best. I think youre giving this terrible song far too much credit, quite honestly. All Anus Whoresette is completely unbearable to listen to. Im sure shes a nice lady, yadda yadda, yadda but her music is insufferable.
This song is horrible , lyrics aren’t good at all and the beat is the same thing through the whole thing. I don’t understand how you could hear someone’s pain through this, it’s just not a good song at all
I've been there. It was like standing at his graveside and grieving over the loss of everything him. I did survive, but not without scars.
for me it’s someone I needed to be ok to even really live and they hate me I can’t fix it and now I will never see them again
And the first line of the second verse is so effing true!

What a touching story hope time has helped smooth the deep
Loss.
So sorry for you loss
Oh so sad your comment gave me tears 😢I have cocker spaniels as well
It’s been four years but I hope you and your wife are doing well. Sending love💙
I guess we have to thank Ryan just as much for this.
And Scarlett probably.
@@lilytyler80hahahaha her pussy must have been heroin
Just found this song... so sad! I love this song!
Been two years for me. Still feels like the beginning of the end every day.
Hoping you are healing. Sending love. ❤️
I'm glad Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette now have married lives with children of their own. I'm glad they could find someone to have and hold for the rest of time- at least I hope so. The song is beautiful.
Love her music, her strong will on life.. 💘
It's not "baser" getaways. It's "Big Sur" getaways. That is a place in California that she talks about alot and really loves.
For those who don't know. This song was written about her relationship with Ryan Remolds ending.
seriously, who wouldn´t miss rayn reynolds body in their bed ???
True!!! He's so freaking hot
HAHAHHAHAHA EXACTLY what I thought!!!
I miss him and he's never even been in my bed. He's just that damn sexy.
Yes..he have a beautiful face..anyone would be crazy😜
@@Aizetsusan me
Marvelous song !!!
😥😥😥 glad she found some catharsis and is happily married now
to a rapper named Mario Treadway or Souleye
Poor Alanis. Seems like Ryan really broke her heart.
mustardsfire22 no they mutually agreed to end their relationship because neither of them were happy, even though the loved each other very much
@@berenacampbell-wolfe-blanc5905 gurl eh no he left her..
@@firefly-fu3ce no Alanis herself said they agreed to mutually split
@@berenacampbell-wolfe-blanc5905 no she was sayijng in interviews afterwards that she never wanted to split. Also the lyrics of this song is one sided. She never wanted him to leave her

I cannot lay down this torch. As a fool, t will always burn in me endlessly, secretly. Some loves one can never let go.
She wrote this song about Ryan Reynolds incase anyone didn’t know. ✅ they dated once. Now he is with Blake lively.
Yep and Scarlett is the reason he left Alannis
She dodged a bullet there.
Ryan Reynolds is my crush since before, but am sad his relationship with Alanis didn't lasts. This songs tells more than the heart
This is the live AOL version. Check out the album version
This is too personal. Sheesh.
She wrote it so he would hear and realize how much he hurt her.. she's married with kids now so she's over it.
Breakups suck. If only we could realize everything is okay on the other side once you move on from the pain. This song isn’t very good at all but it’s very telling how much she was hurt when she wrote it but I prefer when she sang with confidence about herself.

This song sould be caled "torture" cause thats what it is to listen to it ...
Lol a LOT
Construction Specialist 😂😂😂
For real haha

I feel her pain with this song
Wow ,He was perfect.
He was Ryan Reynolds 😭
I imagine crying to this song, in my room, in the middle of the night, sitting by the window, looking at my unmade bed, feeling incomplete. 💔💔
Beautiful song. And I bet her and Ryan made a cute couple...
This song is about ryan renolds. Amazing, they were engaged.
I think the song she wrote abouy joey from full house was better
funnybonecentral this song was from a place of sadness, the other, you oughta know, was about revenge. although both were about hurt they both individually show how much emotion a breakup holds
What's that song called?
I love how are the women are like "omg who wouldn't miss Ryan Reynolds" and the you've got the guys saying "how could Ryan Reynolds leave Alanis" I'm sorry I'm with the women on this. Who seriously wouldn't miss Ryan Reynolds.

Who wouldn’t ...Scarlett Johansson, for one, I’m guessing... 😏
I imagine Ryan Reynolds doing all things Alanis missing just like in the lyrics .... and how she struggling to move on from the broken heart :(
Broken hearts are a killer
love it
I miss your neck and your gait....wonderful, no ordinary lyrics with Alanis!
He does have a sexy neck and walk.
Sounds better at 2x playback speed.
this sounds soooo different from the album version.....is this a live version or a radio mix?
Because of this comment I went looking for the album version...it is so much better! Thank you :)
@lookin4roks I'm so sorry i can't imagine but alanis always has a way of hitting home ;)
I wouldn't glorify a guy that dumped me with a song.
I shouldn't... but I would.
Its love and if with a good guy why not
Sometimes it's how musicians heal and move on
I imagine writing the song was cathartic and healing for her... and perhaps helped her find closure.
Well since she has admitted the end of the relationship was her fault, I'd say she I'd the dumping then regretted it.
@lookin4roks hope it gets better. :)
I just heard she wrote this about Ryan Reynolds after they broke up. 💔
“And you watch you love my dogs” is actually “and to watch you love my doubts” FYI
sounds like dogs though
It REALLY sounds like dogs, and it makes sense cuz she misses complicated things while mentioning simple things.
Alanis writes her best during breakups. Ryan would've hurt 110 x more than stinky looking Dave!
@skicirni its the sessions@aol version
What does her torch mean?
She wrote this song after she and Ryan Reynolds broke up. It was written about him :)
Is this song about Ryan Reynolds?
Yes😞
Love the words/ hate the music
who wouldn't miss ryan reynolds? lol she wrote this after they've broken up.
Is this for Ryan Reynolds? He hit it and quit it while she wrote a song? Lol yo boy a playa
god, i miss him and its nearly 2 years later... ):
it should say Big Sur getaways not baser getaways
@savanna503 yes it is
@ashtonsgirlh
so do I..
brr brr wundervoll!
😍😍😍
So sad... But Alannis has moved on. Hard to depend on someone. Really hard😂
what do you think she mean by: "to lay down my torch for you like this"
Estio To carry a torch for a lost lover means to continue carrying the pain of your loss, which is a way of being unable to let go and move on. My understanding is that she realizes that finally, she has to get past her grief and go on with her life. That's the meaning of her decision to lay down the torch. Very moving song.
DivineSimply Makes total sense. Thank you much! I never heard that expression nor could make any sensible mental connections.
Could also be in the sense of their relationship ending. Carrying a torch for someone = loving someone as to say she didnt think it would end. She never thought she'd have to lay down the torch.
Big sur getaways
Exactly. Thank you.
She had a career and probably wasn't ready to have a baby. I'm guessing. But men tend not to forgive women for rejecting motherhood.
I wonder how her current husband "Souleye" feels about this song about her ex-fiancé Ryan Reynolds...
So this isn’t about Uncle Joey??😂
This song is about ryan reynolds 😳😳😳😳
Supposedly this song is about ryan Reynolds.
Dammit Ryan Reynolds. How could you leave Alanis Morissette? It doesn't make sense to me
She sounds like a dying goat.
+DietSwiftieCat I'm guessing you've never heard a dying goat?
+Mason Montejano okay, that's true. Her singing sounds like Squidward laughing.
+DietSwiftieCat An odd statement since I would assume you have heard Squidward laughing and would therefore know that Alanis's singing is far from it.
+Mason Montejano no they're like twins
*simulating moving on
*Big Sur
Someone said "Marvelous song" Ryan Reynolds portrays Wade Wilson in two different MARVEL movies. MARVEL MARVELOUS!!!!!!! Not to mention this song is about Ryan Reynolds. #illuminatiisreal
Ryan Reynolds has now appeared in 4 movies, where his character was based on a character from a Marvel comic book! And he has played Wade Wilson 3 times already. Yay, Marvel. Yay, Ryan Reynolds!
Also, Alanis Morrissette has played God in a Kevin Smith movie. Kevin Smith has written comics for Marvel.
I came here to listen the grief she had after broke up from Ryan Reynolds
so she's a harder rocking Taylor Swift?
Wonder if Blake Lively finds this song a bit creepy.
They get down to this
Wow I know she was really in love but this song sucks
Agreed
I like it.
I like how she knows it “doesn’t have to rhyme”.
She was singing from her heart the song is great and meaningfull
True. Such a mid song
Nice words. Terrible music.
Josie Johnstone I think the music is great.
The music is great
Lol, I agree. I love Alanis, but it's all about her lyrics.
Oh Ryan
damn you deadpool, you green lantern bastard. grrr.
This song is about Ryan Reynolds? I figured it'd be better. Sounds kind of like a goat dying.
At best. I think youre giving this terrible song far too much credit, quite honestly. All Anus Whoresette is completely unbearable to listen to. Im sure shes a nice lady, yadda yadda, yadda but her music is insufferable.

_Big Sur Getaways_ 🤦🏼♂️
Why is this song so bad?
that's why no one knows about it 😂
........
This song is horrible , lyrics aren’t good at all and the beat is the same thing through the whole thing. I don’t understand how you could hear someone’s pain through this, it’s just not a good song at all
You might not have seen a painting of Picasso. Your appreciation of art is of skin level..
I see why this song never got big it sucks lol
awful song. Even Ballads can be interesting to listen to but this was just a snooze pill...
It's terrible isnt it! Maybe she was too emotional to write anything good at the time.
Worst song I’ve ever heard
Song sucks though
Lol not her best
