LYRICS
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
And now even though I’ve been busted
I don’t where to draw the line ‘cause the 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 the comfort is so strong Ohhhh
one more hit
it feels so helpful in my need for respite
ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I’m not medicated
So that’s it I am buying a lamborghini
to make up for these habits to survive this sick industry
And 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 the comfort is so strong Ohhhh
one more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
these are the reasons I don’t even think I would quit
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 the comfort is so strong Ohhhh
one more rip
I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh

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!
As a 90's teenager and now a 41 years old mom with tons of stories to tell, I can't even beggin to explain how I've loved this.
Same!!! 😀
Renata Octaviani - Favas Cozinha Yep!
Me too :)
Absolutely ❤️ same
Renata Octaviani - Favas Cozinha this 41 year old agrees
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. 🌞🌟🌠
Just recently got sober after 20+ years of drink & drug...it's a bitch at first but it ultimately pays off ❤
@@BobShay-jf4vf Beautiful! (It may get hard again, for a while, just remember, it never lasts.)
@@Brucebod ....😁👍
Sorry tintuin your lucky number.. but i liked your comment
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.
Whats unique about doing drugs and being pro antigod in hollywood?
“Isn’t it i[c]onic? Don’t you think?”
@@JodiJolie Pig, Disgust is calling the priest a pig.
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!
Yes, we need more “older” singers and celebrities, life doesn’t end when you turn 30. I want to see people, regular people tell their stories
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
MADONNA'S BEEN DOING IT FOR ALMOST 4 DECADES AND SHE'S BEING VILIFIED FOR IT.
I’m turning 30 tomorrow :,(
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!
2Bdiscovered it’s like women aren’t allowed to age and perform. Like we should shrink. More power to Madonna!
This literally picks up where she left off with the 90s teen to 40s life
This is so true!!
Lol right?
so you missed every record from the 00's until now ? I'm sorry.
@@CM-pi8et for real i was confused
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.
Currently battling alcoholism. This song is therapy. Pray for me.
I'm not religious, but I know someone who is. I'll ask her to have a word for you. Hope it's working out OK.
you got this my dude
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~
Alanis is pure honesty in her art. I missed this kind of music so much.
here here...she is so special
My dad made this video
@@hen4.0 Wow, lucky :)
Same.
@@hen4.0 Now I keep on thinking about your dad when I see the video 😅 Great job! Not just lucky.
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
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.
sorry for your loss
WE LOVE THEIR VOICE\
Amen
❤️ I'm so sorry. Know that you are loved.
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
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"
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....
15 months sober!! Keep coming back.
18 now congratz and keep it up
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.
The "Ironic" beenie and scarf look 🙌🏼unafraid to reference or be referenced. What a queen!
The Queen of Pain! 🤗
Why would you be afraid to reference? Or be referenced?
Thank you...I've been searching for this comment; any comment that alluded to the "ironic" look.
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. 😍
These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine

🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
I was Arkansas too, once. In the beginning. :) I'm waiting for comments to talk about how Alanis saw herself, no; *was* every person in the circle.
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.
*This song is severely underrated.*
Yes it is.
😢🙏💓💓💓💓
Truth
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
This is an adult's brain on fire, put to music, artfully and ingeniously crafted to touch millions. Thank God for Alanis.
dopest post ive ever come across...thank god for alanis and people like you! CLARITY!
That’s very profound. I like it.
I watch dogma, Alanis is God
I once read an article titled "Alanis, the only true voice in Ottawa". ❤
@@hotboytoy138 hh
I see a lot of comments of people struggling with alcoholism. For those of you struggling I want to let you know that you can get sober and you are worth it, But it will require a lot of outside help And a lot of work, But believe me it's well worth it in the end. If I did it you can do it and I've seen so many other people do it. I know it's not easy it's the hardest thing ever But you can do it! I pray that you seek out the help you need and wish you the best of luck
Where you there? If not shut your mouth!
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
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.
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!
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.
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 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
“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
Constantly find myself listening to this. I’ve gone through addiction but it doesn’t hit it for me, hits for my sister who went through it last year. She’s 1 year and 4 months sober and every time I hear this it hurts but I’m also so entirely proud of how far she’s come. We do recover 🥰
Hey check out "empty bottles" by yelawolf "addiction " by collichie and "twin lakes" by Rittz...I have many more but 2 of those are my favorite rappers and have met them personally. Good guys.. They have been threw alot. Would mean alot if u checked out my channel and those artist...thankyou..✌👍🤦♂️
I'm drinking so much. I keep hiding.
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!
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.
Alanis has been singing my life since 1995.
When Alanis first hit the scene when I was younger, I thought she was a little jaded. As an adult I think she's just been through it like the rest of us.
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
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
Alanis is an incredible poet who puts her beautiful words to music. They’re like a tattoo on my soul.
This......
Sometimes we need to struggle to find freedom.
Do you wanna judge me? A beautiful seat beside the devil
Holy shit ... Someone wrote a song that speaks truth .. 5 years sober today
Congrats mate keep it up. 11 years for me.
Congratulations
She has always been speaking truth....it is why I love her ❤
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. 😭
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
Damn this song hits hard. I am 6 years 8 months sober. To anyone watching this suffering from alcoholism or addiction know that you are not alone and that you matter. Please seek help. Life is a gift and it will get better.
Still sober and smokin' tires? 😄
Sober for almost 29 years --- I LOVE THIS !!!! ----- Addiction and the root of all the causes might be the MOST dangerous thing to the planet..... THANK YOU
🙏💜
Sending you healing energy. We are all addicted to something. You are more than your addiction. I am more than mine. To all who need to hear it you've already won me over .
I think the stigma of addiction and the war on drugs
Cheers salute cin cin
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.
@@eduardochavacano reported for using the word lest
@SUBZEROUK you dont like justin beiber and drake wtf ???
@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.
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!
I'm now 1yr and 5 months sober. I promised my Dad a couple days before he passed away that I'd never drink alcohol for the rest of my life. For many years he drank way too much and it messed up his liver.
This women is the voice of the 90s. Really wish musicians had this much talent nowadays!
Alcoholic here, not sober and don't have any plans to become sober in the near future. But I love this song because of how it actually speaks to our experiences. Alcohol is how I've survived a pretty tough life. Our world sucks. So....I just appreciate where this is coming from. And I salute the people who are able to handle this world sober. I can't.
I'm so sorry it feels this way to you. I hope it starts seeming like a possibility. I'm in no way trying to pretend I know what's right for you, but I hope you've tried looking into other ways of coping with pain - counseling, medication, support. Maybe there are things that can help make sobriety achievable. All the best.
Sometimes, alcohol is the medication...
i feel this comment deep down inside me
I so very much know where you're coming from. I have listened to this over and over because it so perfectly expresses what it's like. I have no intention to quit, even if my liver is beginning to complain. I'd love to switch weed for alcohol, and do so as much as possible, but the government here in their great wisdom keeps it illegal. I already swallow half a pharmacy a day before anyone tells me to go see a doctor... I DO! All those dumb meds just keep me barely away from killing myself, but they dont actually address the real problems.
Big hugs Tenderloin! Hope you're doing ok! And I raise my glass in salute to all the fellow 'Lost causes" (as the the world likes to call us)....hey drink away. The critics aren't offering any help!
@@tamarapetrov4990 👊 fist bump to ur deep honesty and truth of the matter. Well said and accurate.
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 😂
I'm 38 but I think we should be happy in our selves
Who all thinks her voice is like an angel?
“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 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.
My daughter, I NAMED ALANIS. She is 21. We have seen her together.❤
Some of us are nature. Some nurture. Neither is better for we need both to survive and qualities of each are found in each.
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!🍀
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....
Drinking makes me forget takes away my worries and allows me to escape from reality.
We used to always end the night with this. Busted. Thwarted. Overcome. Do what you love om.
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???
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: czcams.com/video/D292PmJqEnA/video.html
I just decided this past week to seek help too. You’re not alone. Sending strength 🤙
Alanis helped me through my Saudi deployment in 1996. Listening to ‘Jagged Little Pill’ was one of few pleasures that kept me connected with home. Thank you, Ms. Morisette. ❤
I have fallen in love with this song, it is in my head all day, I even play it on drums in the air in the morning at work while my colleagues arrive, they think I am crazy, this song has changed my life
One of her personas is wearing the same clothes she wore in the "Ironic" music video. Or very similar clothes anyway...
I noticed that, too!
Perhaps the same character?
Yep. Love this woman. Glad shes bck😊
I think each persona calls back to a significant moment in her life. The 'Ironic" outfit, like you've pointed out. I think the dressed up in white shirt is from the "You Oughta Know" video, when she first hit it big, which is why that persona is interviewed and signs autographs. Trying to figure out the mom in the robe look.
You saw that too
This is why I love Alanis Morissette so much.
How you can not love her. She is a legend ❤😊
This woman is a genius.😊
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
Anyone pick up on how the woman in the red cap is her character from "Ironic"?
yes, of course
Everyone, my friend. Everyone.
Fo Sho!
really?
Uh, yeah
How does she know what you dont even know about your own self. How does she ALWAYS know.
Her writing is literal poetry, her music is emotive and real. She is an artist, not because of the fame like so many, but for the act of creating. Listening to the vapid, hollow lyrically petulant music of most top 10s in 2023, I still find it offensive that she and so many actual artists, are overlooked.
She's not overlooked by people that truly understand what music is. Good music speaks to your soul
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...
My girl! I never heard this and GOD released it 3 years ago!?
I can’t imagine how Alanis is feeling after the drummer for Jagged Little Pill died R.I.P. Taylor 😢❤️🥁
Her reaction to the priest is priceless
😂
Indeed! and i think it could be interpreted in two ways : Either she doesn't believe, or his presence is bad luck related to death, so she wants to avoid the whole package!
@@transivif7634 Or the fact that priests are notorious for touching little boys.
It’s a nod to her song “Forgiven” from her album Jagged Little Pill. First verse.: “You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the lover-less priests
I'll see you next Sunday”
"Eww, gross..."
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 song hit me so hard!!!! I remember being 16 and travelling through Italy with only jagged little pill playing the whole time... This speaks so much to my now adult self
I wrote that comment drunk, I am replying to my own comment now because I am delusional about my own drinking... Wow, my eyes are opened to my problems with alcohol
is it me or is she still really beautiful!!??
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!!!💀
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
Feb 29th 2024 and Alanis is still the best
You get believers and realisers. If the belief is True they realise.
I can see in this video Alanis is the councelor but she sees herself in her ‘patients’ as a mom battling PPD, alanis as her Havoc era dealing with being a celebrity and Alanis as her Jagged Little Pill era struggling with death sorrow and im guessing heartbreak? If someone can help me understand more that would be cool.
She's kinda mixing emotion and logic in her trademark inebriated vocals, notice she titled these are the reasons I drink, I love the shot at the end when all her so called multiple personalities or selves become different people and the "shrink" prevails, with no noticeable disorders or so called anomalies. But seriously, Alanis, if you ever become a shrink the first thing you need is steel nerves because if you're the introverted emotional type, you'd go nuts hearing the tales of pain from your patients, but prevail anyways! Please! #reasons
alxbth shes totally channelling all the looks across her career.. i love it.
My interpretation is she is in an AA meeting. You see parts of yourself in everyone. I don't think she is a therapist I think when we see her walking in that is Alanis and the rest of the 'Alanis'' we see are her finding herself speaking about their reasons to drink, and eat... I grew up in the program (AA) so maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there but my interpretation is just that. Successful Alanis, Past Alanis, Mother Alanis and the Actual Alanis. Love this song can't wait for Such Pretty Forks in the Road.
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!
I was in a group of regrettable drinkers once, and it made me feel worse! Nobody deserves blame for that, but my selfish self.
Alanis Morissette is as good as it gets.
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.
"Morissette also struggled with eating disorders as a young adult, something she has compared to the struggle of someone addicted to alcohol or drugs. "The big question for me around eating-disorder recovery is, 'What is sobriety with food?'" Morissette told Women's Health. "We know with alcohol, you just don't drink it and don't go to a bar. With heroin, you just don't go near it. Whereas with food, you have to eat, so how can one go from, in my case, bingeing and purging, starving, overeating, the scale going up and down - how can I go from that to a 'sober' approach?"
(from The List)
Wow never really compared the struggles. I guess it’s realizing you want to live. Food is essential to our human body survival. It can not function without it. You do not have to be consumed by food but you have to consume it to stay alive. Find a balance between what you need and what you want. I’m in no way a professional, and if you feel you need professional help please seek it! I’m just me, who’s been there, and is here now.
Im sure her therapist helped her through that. Food addiction is very real and it goes with the addictions of drugs, alcohol, sex, and gambling. Probably even more but those come to the top of my list.
I think this is a powerful conversation. Alcohol or drugs are harmless if left alone. Food is needed, but in reverse, the neglect of eating causes harm. It's about why we use substances or neglect food. Either way, we are numbing our pain and that looks different to many people. There is a lot of intersectionality to this song which is very powerful.
@@crystallitchfield4639 Must be rough, another poor millionaire with a problem. Do you share that same concern with the homeless as you walk down the street?? or do you need a music video to peak your righteous concern for humanity.
@@crystallitchfield4639 you don't get it
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!
I love the call back to ironic by her dressing as she did in that video all those years ago
Love this ... I used to have a million reasons to want to drink ...
I used them all up
F**k addiction 9.18.16 and still clean and sober 🙌
👍💚
To 1 Sarah from another Sarah, keep up the great work. 5/10/20 was my 16th anniversary !! But all that counts is today. Keep up the great, but hard work !!✌❤
The only thing that upset me was I couldn't get my chip due to the Coronavirus. Once again, keep up the great work !! 😊✌❤
I'm struggling with drinking right now. This song gives me hope..
Gives me hope. I’m struggling and trying myself
I love the part where she pulls away from the priest - so empowering
Christian Cat I loved that too. Made me giggle.
But why? A priest can help and give comfort, whether you're christian or not. Maybe I missed the point or why she does that, but it doesn't feel right to do what Alanis does in the video.
Daniel GoSilent for me it’s because a lot of priests exploit people in their grief... they proselytise (attempt to convert them to Christianity/Catholicism) instead of just comfort the bereaved. I know “not all priests” but a significant number of them. I think Alanis pulling away is also a throw back to her song “forgiven” where she sings about being mistreated by the Catholic Church during her upbringing.
Popcorn MX 😂 I love her so much!
@@Transpenguincy makes sense. Yet her being a supporter of peace, doesn't look right. I like the song anyway, and been a fan since 95
2023. Love this amazing song.
RIP - Robin Williams, Prince, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amy Winehouse, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Kurt Cobain.
Who has left an IMPACT in YOUR LIFE?
Aaaaand there go the tears. Well shoot this just kinda hit home. Started buying wine since I lost my job, I never really drank at all since then, and boyfriend has been asking if I've been ok. Thought I was. Been thinking about it since he asked..but I guess you need a goddess to sing in your ear to really hear the warning signs huh.
*UPDATE*
Its Sep/2021. I'm doing so much better: called help lines and they helped me get into therapy, I'm taking medication, I have reliable work and income, I have a group of close friends for support, family support. Things definitely turned around for me over the last year after working so hard. A lot of you shared kind words and I thank you for them. Sending you all good vibes! Thank you again!!!
I am happy for you. Realizing there is a problem is the beginning. Hugs and best of luck.
I wish I liked to drink. But I have other issues.
Same here. I don’t even remember how I started relying on alcohol because it’s been so long.... it’s humiliating
Losing your job is one of the hardest things in the world. You will get through this, even if it sucks while you do.
@no comment what?
Oooohhh her iconic ironic look💜
Mother of Music 🌸
His spirit is playful. His energy creative. His abode bliss aum
I have ALWAYS LOVED how she has balls to say things that most people in the industry don't and UNAPOLOGETICALLY.
Such a positive comments section. Alanis really deserves that
