This song helped through a lot of relationships sincer then. It still tears my heart apart whenever a listen to. It's so profund and at the same time so relieving.
My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots At that particular time love had challenged me to stay At that particular moment I knew not run away again That particular month I was ready to investigate with you At that particular time We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding At that particular time love encouraged me to wait At that particular moment it helped me to be patient That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt And in the meantime I lost myself In the meantime I lost myself I'm sorry I lost myself, I am You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted At that particular love encouraged me to leave At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me That particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left At that particular time
I'm so nostalgic... I remember those days... the look on her face when I said that I love her... and the pain in my heart when she said that she must go away... Until now, I'm still waiting for that particular time even if I know that it'll never happen again... because the sand of our lives has already covered our story... I'm afraid to see her again with another guy... but I know what pain is and I should say to myself it'll be OK... even if it's not!!
La escucho 340000 veces y no me cansa, es una artista en toda la extensión de la palabra, tiene canciones para cada momento de mi vida, talentosa, interpretación, voz, hermosas canciones en letra, significado, y melodía de cada una de ellas, unas abstractas que te dejan pensando, toca la guitarra, bella sin un gramo de maquillaje y sigue siendo la misma, en su esencia.. muy original...
Alanis is a real artist, not like that plastic ones that doesn't feel what they are singing. .3:05 she seems that she stayed in a moment, and remember her "particular time", and tha's a person singing with her soul and heart. If you are listening Alanis, just open your heart and she'll get in, and she won't leave you.
Gran alanis, me haces pensar , me haces llorar,,esta letra tan profunda fuerte y realista, para decir basta se acabo,,,sabiendo que se ama pero se debe alejar uno para ser feliz uno mismo,,,una cancion para el alma
De verdad que alanis es unica no hay mas que decir. Cantar esta cancion con el alma ella es increible. Puedo escuchar sus canciones mil veces y lo sigo haciendo. ALANIS ERES MI FAVORITA!!
When I'm not rocking out to death metal, I enjoy a nice big glass of alanis. With hints of spruce and pine, it goes great with any meal. I'm am Darrell and I greatly enjoy alanis morissette.
no puedo creer que alguien ponga no me gusta!! alanis es lo mas y sin dudas esta es una de las mejores canciones y con mucho sentimiento!! que gran cancion que grande alanis!!
Que Manera De Decir Las cosas Tan Acertadamente...Por Eso Tanta Gente Se Identifica Con Esta Gran Artista...Completamente Cierto Que Uno Con El Afan De Mantener Un Sentimiento O Relacion, Se Olvida De Ser Correspondido Y Pierdes Tu PErsonalidad, Dejas De Ser Tu, Efectivamente Perdiendote A Ti Mismo...WoW Que Interpretacion...Admiro Increiblemente A Alanis Morissette!
Alanis es una artista de verdad, no como las cantantes de plástico de ahora, que no transmiten nada con su música hueca y vacía. Pareciera que se queda mirando a la nada en el 3:05, como recordando su "momento particular", y sigue cantando. Eso es cantar con el corazón y el alma.
I Feel this song, she's being honest and truethful, just saying how she fought and she just realized he didn't want her, and she just knew...it was time to go...at that particular time!
@zcm007attack I was thinking the exact same thing as I was listening to the live version of this song. This, and Foolish Games sends chills down my back. Hauntingly beautiful!
@lovelife02 Yes she had a baby boy...I forget his name but u can find it online....she also got married to a Canadian rapper....I am very curious to see what her lyrics will say on the next album and also wondering if she will duplicate the same musical style as Flavors Of Entanglement
Does anyone know where this was recorded? It looks just like the outfit she wore when I saw her in Toronto in 2002 (I think it was). But, I don't remeber her performing this song.....
