Alanis Morissette - Head Over Feet (Official 4K Music Video) 

My wife died 9 weeks ago. I can imagine my wife saying these exact words to me before we were married. These lyrics remind me of things she had said in the past. I’ve listened to this song so many times the last several days. It makes me feel a bit closer to my wife, but also sad. It’s a really good song.

Not gonna lie, this entire album is a masterpiece!

When Alanis sings, we listen. When she’s on a screen, we watch. Plain and simple.

Listen as a little black boy growing up in a rough neighborhood, songs like this made me feel better about life.

A little historical context for those not old enough to know…. At the time that this video was released, music videos were still culturally relevant (MTV was still actually playing them on something called television), and Alanis Morrissette was the "It Girl" of the moment. This album was at the time the highest-selling debut by a female artist, ever. It has sold over 30 million copies to date, with Billboard magazine declaring it the best-selling pop record of the 1990s. Due to all of these factors, at the time this video was hardly seen as "cheap." Her face alone was more valuable than the most extravagant high-tech special-effects could ever be. At a point when music videos were so relevant that millions of dollars were spent in producing them (and MTV was still playing them), it was a downright radical act for her to release a video consisting of nothing but a close-up of her face. It only made her seem that much more cool. Young people of today: I love you; you're awesome; enjoy your youth, for us old people; but also try to learn a little history along the way, okay? (Oh, one more thing…. Two thirds of the way through this song, she refers to her best friend, "best friends with benefits." That is the origin of the term people still use today: "Friends with benefits.")

Honestly its so badass how she just stops trying to explain and busts out the harmonica to vent her emotion. God i miss the 90s.

Alanis was THAT girl in the 90s!!!

Who's listening in 2024?

34 million copies sold. 11th highest selling album of all time. Also 1 album I can listen from start to finish and not skip a song. Pure genius

I posted on here about my wife dying on this video like over a year ago. What this song means to me. I am great full for all the condolences. Thank you. Though sometimes are still difficult. Even when our spouse dies, those of us that keep living do eventually find ways to still enjoy life. Getting through the grief is a process and takes time.

Who’s still playing this in 2024? Her music will never get old

Alanis has stood the test of time. Her songs are timeless

I feel like it's largely forgotten how fucking solid this album is.

To be a teen in the 90s Alanis was loved truly. So refreshing to see a simple beautiful face

Took me 11 years to find this song. Heard it on the radio during Halloween of 2013, never knew the name of the song. Been trying to find it ever since. FINALLY 🎉

My mom died when I was 11 and we would jam out to Alanis growing up still listening to Alanis. I’m 33 now and her music sometimes just hits the feels.

My wife and I got married yesterday, 4.3.21 and this was our first dance. The very first time she told me she loved me, this was playing in the background when we were hanging out one afternoon.

Everybody gangster until Alanis whips out the harmonica

I was in middle school when this album came out 😫 Now I'm 42 years old and still loving every single song from Alanis! ❤

No CGI, no 5kg of makeup. Natural and beautiful.

This is probably one of the best lovesongs ever written.

0% nudity 0% swearing 0% twerking 0% violence 100% TALENT!

Me and my girlfriend would play this entire album when we started to fall in love with eachother that was 1995! Time flies 3 kids later and many memories I love her more than ever before and so happy to call her my wife and best friend ❤ you always Missy! Such a time capsule thank you Alanis

This song was playing rent free in my mind all day I HAD TO HEAR IT💕💕

Loved her when I was 15..im 36 now and still love her!! Absolutely awesome x

I understand her music so much more now that I've turned 40. Life is so wild

Jagged little pill one of the best albums of the 90s

In 2024 thinking of my husband. Such a blessing. He treats me so well.

I am so missing the 90s because of this! Who's here in 2020?

She is an icon. People won't realize how influential she was until it's too late. Isn't it ironic?

My idol since elementary..proud to be 90's era❤❤❤I'm 38 yrs.old..still listening Alanis songs

I miss this era

She was 21 years old here with one of the best selling pop albums of all time. Legend.

Stop asking who’s still listening, we never stop

She is one gorgeous woman and one of my favorite 90’s singers. And she still looks amazing at 49.

Ppl in 2024 👇

A woman with actual skin, with pores... What a beautiful sight. Thank you 90s, I'm glad I'm from there.

As a male, in my mid 30's, why do I get teary eyed listening to this after a long day. Loving oneself is underrated.

90s take us all back 😭🙏🏼

My girlfriend dedicated this song to me and I feel warm and fuzzy every time i hear it.

EVERY SINGLE SONG on this album was great and a huge hit. Unless you lived this era you have no idea how big this album was. Madonna must’ve made millions off this.

Real men listen to Alanis. lol, but really, she is a true artist.

Heard this on our local station today. Had to listen again. I miss my Terry so much, he was my world. I still have so much love for him and its been six years since he passed.

This is my favourite song on this album. She is a musical genius. This could be released today and still smash it. TIMELESS ❤

When she says "I've never felt this healthy before" it has always always resonated with me, even before I knew what she meant. Getting older, it is just so clear, when you find that other half of you, someone you genuinely fall head over feet for, you genuinely feel healthier and capable. It's a beautiful lyric and another power house of a song by this legend 👏

"I couldn't help it, it's all your fault" Adorable

After all these years I'm still Head over Feet in love with this masterpiece.

When I was reminiscing, i thought Alanis made like 3 or 2 albums in the mid 90s. She made one, one singular, masterpiece. What an incredible album....

Imagine how many views this would have if RU-vid was a thing when this was released

90s kids, unite. This is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for sharing!

I was in prison when this album came out it got me through it and really saved my life if it wasn't for this album I'd not be here thank u so much you saved my family!y and kids from losing me xxxxx

Watched Jagged Little Pill in Boston with my wife yesterday afternoon. I've always been a fan. She has now converted and listened to nothing but Alanis for the last 24 hours. We both cried many times during the show because of the powerful story. This song got me as it did all those years ago. I know she won't see this but I want to thank her for all of the music that has supported me, and now is, through so much. Much love all.

1996, my bride chose this perfect song to be played at our wedding. I love this tune. We'll celebrate our 25th anniversary in November of this year, 2021. This song WILL be part of our celebration, and she might not even remember. But she will. Life isn't always easy, yet it's an INCREDIBLY FUN ride!!!

My daughter turned me on to her music and I've loved her music to this day and I'll be 63 in January!❤

Best female vocalist EVER !!!

The spirit of music in the 90s has zero competition. It was across every genre, in that special decade.

*Alanis staring in the camera for over 4 minutes* *Still better than most of so called 'music videos' nowadays*

Lyrics I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I'm a princess I'm not used to liking that You ask how my day was You've already won me over in spite of me Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You're so much braver than I gave you credit for That's not lip service You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You're the best listener that I've ever met You're my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long? I've never felt this healthy before I've never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now You've already won me over in spite of me Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault

Oh! I love this song so much! Takes me back to a better time, when true love was real.

this song and video are epic. the way she stares into the camera. . i could have stared into those eyes for 23 years straight.

This song reminds me of the simplicity of life in the 90s. Love it.

I'm a metalhead. I live for bands like Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, Tool, and I'm also heavily into EDM, specifically liquid drumstep, psytrance, heavy electro, etc. I can happily say Jagged Little Pill is the best album I've ever listened to.

You’re a beautiful soul Alanis. I love this video because it’s raw and vulnerable. Even as a 14 year old boy in the 90s I have always loved your music and your vibe. To this day you’re a bright light.

This song ,the whole Jagged little Pill Album is a GENIUS Piece of Art ie WORK OF ART ! I was in Nigeria Jamming to Alannis genius in Lagos in the late Nighties .....All I can say thank you so so much Ms Morriset we love you !

Her smile just warms my heart.

Alanis is one of those woman what have a natural beauty about them, that requires little to no makeup to enhance it.

It's a beautiful, timeless classic, from a beautiful lady with an amazing voice! ❤

My first concert. I was 11. I’m 40 now. It was her first tour at the Aladdin in Las Vegas. The Aladdin has been gone for a long time. She spoke to me. Her music has guided me through some tough, gut wrenching, spirit crushing life lessons. This is my spirit animal. She is on every single playlist. I needed the music videos tonight. This soul will never understand the magnitude she had. The best days of music have been gone for quite sometime. So damn thankful for the choice to be able to stay stuck in the good old days. 👌🏻🧘‍♀️🫶🏻♥️🔥🧿✌🏻

Been a fan of Alanis since 1994 when I was 12, now at 34, I think her songs sounds better and better each year that goes by.

My mom used to blast this song in the car when I was a baby all the time, I had the tune stuck in my head for at least 8 years, and I’ve finally found the song, and god it’s bringing back memories

This song is for everyone who fell head over heels in love great song. 😊

.... In spite of me.... Is the most beautiful line.

How many straight dudes out there really feel this music ? I know this album is about a young woman's struggle growing up and it's hard to relate that to a man's experience but there's something about this whole album that hits me deep. She wrote from the heart and really just let it all out. She didn't care what anyone thought. She had a lot of real emotions to write with and what came out is a true masterpiece that is Jagged Little Pill. Every now and then, when I feel like I need to get my head straightened out, I just listen to this album and I always feel better afterwards. I'll have a crush on Alanis Morissette forever !

This is my favourite song of Alanis . Never get tired of listening to it

Alanis is the type of heroes we need.

I love how you experience the chorus for yourself. I always felt like it was jarring. In the greatest way from over here.

the most beautiful brown eyes in all of the world.

I remember hearing this song every morning on MTV and VH1 before getting ready for high school...will never forget those days!!

one of my fav songs during teen

MTV was overrun with big-budget, high-concept music videos when this came out and it was such a breath of fresh air so see an artist not afraid to be so exposed and vulnerable. Easily one of the most impactful, yet understated music videos of all time.

Lyrics: I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I'm a princess I'm not used to liking that You ask how my day was You've already won me over in spite of me Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You're so much braver than I gave you credit for That's not lip service You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You're the best listener that I've ever met You're my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long? I've never felt this healthy before I've never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now You've already won me over in spite of me Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault

The smell, taste, and sound of 90's rock, from Alanis to Stone Temple Pilots kicks ass! Always.

My teen music icon! The Queen still reigns, nobody rocks it like she does! I was 14 then and now I am 42, and my teen years will never be the same without her songs. I still know every word.... (sigh)

And here Alanis show us how to make a masterpiece. Cause you know what is more expressive than her lyric on this videoclip? Her eyes. You just cant avoid them, and they tell you all that's behind the lyrics. That's all she needs to show us greatness.

I NEED THE 90S BACKKKKKKKKK :(

She is so naturally beautifully, and talented. What is more vulnerable than a close up of you… and a close up singing. Love this song

I sing this song all the time 2024 ❤

Listening to this while im sick makes me sad and nostalgic. 90s ❤

I love the smile she makes when saying “ Friends with benefits “ … Love this woman!!!

I had no idea when I was a teen listening to this song that I'd be living it one day. This is my song to my husband. He made me love him. ❤️

Who's going to her concert in 2024?!

After my recent break up with an addict, this song hits different.

This video is pure courage and integrity. By filming close-up like this, she leaves herself nowhere to hide - she means every word, and she's not afraid to own them.

Proud to be Canadian with artists like Alanis. After almost 30 years of listening to her, she still never gets old.

This song burns into your soul,especially for someone who you share a great bond with.❤

This whole album is the soundtrack to my 1st year at university. Absolutely epic. First time I’ve seen this video, you can really see into Alanis’ soul and what she’s thinking. What a living legend ❤

It's refreshing to see a singer with raw talent and so natural, without the bells and whistles, choreography, pancake makeup, etc

who's watching in 2017? Still One of the best!

Strength of Sound: 55 %❤🎉❤😂😊❤

Best female artist video ever ❤
