Alanis has always been absolutely brilliant with music. So poetic and expressive (straight to the point, even if elusive). So great to listen to when you're in need for some serious depth into the human soul.
I know. Alanis Morissette was my first concert at 13 years of age at the old Perth Entertainment Centre that has since been torn down. I still remember what I wore. It was a fantastic night. Her voice is so beautiful and undervalued. The 90’s produced some of the best music of our lives for sure.
I'll go ahead and say this... The acoustic version just hits different. Has a more melancholy and sentimental feeling than the original. The original feels too jolly, this gives you a more human sensation
OMG, I was thinking the same thing lol. Funny how the music that was around during your mid to late teens is the stuff that just sticks with you, no matter how much you, and your musical tastes, change in the intervening years.
All these eras... all these memories this video brings to me. Certain phases of my life and the way I identified myself with her music and what she was doing. This video is beautiful.
I must be living under a rock because today's the first time I've heard this version, the structure, harmonically is crazy.... incredible guitar work.... wow!
From all the songs of JLP this one keeps a special place in my heart cause its such a unique song its one of my favorite from Alanis and this version is too good.

Actually, the video for "Not As We" was posted by WarnerBrothers and that too was taken off, I don't know how this "third party" hoopla and "this video is not available in your country" business are coming from, but it is a shame. How else are we going to hear Alanis? On the radio? Only if you are a big fan of Jagged Little Pill... which I am, but her other songs, not as much airplay. At least not in my neck of the woods.
