Knew a man who showed me God's face is handsome,sadly he is with with God, but I think there are more than 1 soulmate for all of us, if you are open to letting it happen. Hope whoever showed you the beautiful face of your deity, is still around, enriching your life. Or if it haunts you because you haven't had that happen (which I really doubt) it's amazing what is right around the corner. Sorry for length and my numerous cliches.
Impressively strong lyrics. The emotion she shows while singing this song really moves me, compelling me to spoil my wife-to-be so that she never feels emotions so sad and moving like this.
Wow, I never heard this song before. But after having to end a relationship today with the only person I ever truly loved in 42 years, this song really hits home.
Simple together You've been my golden best friend Now with post - demise at hand Can't go to you for consolation Cause we're off limits during this transition This grief overwhelms me It burns in my stomach And I can't stop bumping into things I thought we'd be simple together I thought we'd be happy together Thought we'd be limitless together I thought we'd be precious together But I was sadly mistaken You've been my soulmate and mentor I remembered you the moment I met you With you I knew god's face was handsome With you I suffered an expansion This loss is numbing me It pierces my chest And I can't stop dropping everything I thought we'd be sexy together Thought we'd be evolving together I thought we'd have children together I thought we'd be family together But I was sadly mistaken If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air My wealth would render this no less severe I thought we'd be genius together I thought we'd be healing together I thought we'd be growing together Thought we'd be adventurous together But I was sadly mistaken Thought we'd be exploring together Thought we'd be inspired together I thought we'd be flying together Thought we'd be on fire together But I was sadly mistaken
Thank you Alanis for all the amazing songs you created. This specific song is very dear to my heart, as well as I was hoping. Not just because myself and my ex use to sing along to this song, but it was also very comforting in the time of my recovering after the break up. Don't know if I'll even heal, every pain and hurt I've gone through is exactly like the intro lines of each paragraph of simple together. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to not feel at all. But life is still worth living. Thank you so so much.
Damn, how does she do this with a straight face, I mean by not just breaking down. This shit is heavy man. I don't know, even as myself, if I could perform this song, knowing the meaning, without just losing it. You wanna talk about power, well, this is it here, this video.
What a beautiful way to describe it, to me this shows how seasoned, tested and an absolute professional she is. You can see the emotions between every verse right in her eyes and she just holds it so well!! There's another live song she performed for a podcast or radio show called "Incomplete" and you can tell in the last chorus she's about to break but she really is TOUGH. Really an admirable artist.
you're perfectly right! but...you know...sometimes closing a door can hurt a lot...even too much. this song draws exactly the feeling of such a status.
I was absolutely heartbroken when I heard this song. I then saw Alanis singing it at a really small event at King's College in London 2005 and it moved me to tears.
Alanis undoubtedly has a great sensibility that gives her writing a sentence full of sublime meaning. When each of us suffer by losing a relationship, feeling that now we are alone, that our feelings are not good received in the heart of our lovers, or the illusion in love is dead. Hear these letters takes us back to personal moments, binds us, does that evoke our own life and then suffer this song because it reminds us exactly how we feel at the time of the end of the relationship.thanks Alanis
I can relate to this song so much And yet...so many expectations from a single love relationship.... it takes a special man.... and yes I am still available...dear Alanis :)
What did the band have for food the night before they performed this? Steak? Sounds so damn heavy you guys are going to cracked the bowl. Lighten it up for jesus sake, she's a woman not an elephant. Who is helping around Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
