For her best “haunting” songs, listen to “Your house” which is the A cappella hidden track from Jagged Little Pill and “Uninvited” live version. I promise you will love both! ❤️
Every song on the Jagged Little Pill album is great! Try “Mary Jane” “All I Really Want” “Right Through You” “Forgiven”…also try “Reasons I Drink” from Such Pretty Forks In The Road, or “You Owe Me Nothing In Return” from Under Rug Swept
Bro I’m a young 21 year old Mexican tryna get out the grimey Hood by 25 😂i smoke weed on my RU-vid channel and i also did a burger king Mukbang inside target 🍔🤞
The thing I love about this song is: she suffers so much through the rest of "Jagged Little Pill", once this song comes round, you feel she really, REALLY deserves this moment of happiness. "I've never felt this healthy before" is such a bittersweet lyric, sweet for the present and bitter for the past.
Perfectly put, and I feel that mix of emotions (bitter/sweet, rage/peace) is what Jagged Little Pill is all about. It's even in the album name: Jagged (rough, not fun to take) Little Pill (not too big to handle, healing). Over the past few years, it's become one of my favorite albums. Of course, I heard it growing up ('97 baby here), but it resonates more now as an adult.
@@Potpotpotcrazy I got in on the ground floor. I was 18 when it came out, and 19 when I saw her live (with Taylor Hawkins on drums, just after a set by Foo Fighters, which he had yet to join). Even though I'm a guy, the angst was all too real to me, especially in the song "Perfect". And then, when the acoustic album came out, we had both grown up a bit, and I appreciated her new perspective. It's the same feeling I get having grown up alongside Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in the "Before" trilogy (highly recommended). As for the title, I've always taken it as entirely negative. A little pill can become a big problem if it's jagged and stuck in your throat. Like a paper cut or a stone in your shoe. But in your THROAT.
It just occurred to me that you haven't touched Natalie Merchant yet. Whether with the 10,000 Maniacs, or her solo stuff, either way Natalie is just one of those voices. Maybe revisit Brandi Carlile again as well, Brandi is one of my all time faves.
I have suggested NATALIE MERCHANT several times. other people have also. I'm sure they'll get around to it. maybe if we beg, they'll get to her sooner. 👍😃❣️😃👍
Love this song. I hope your next Alanis song will be "Thank U", it's so beautiful, haunting and uplifting. Or you can do "All I really want" which has some amazing harmonica. "You Learn" is also terrific. (And actually guys, you've now done FIVE Alanis songs - this, "You Oughta Know,", "Ironic", "Hand In My Pocket", and "Uninvited."
Oh, the expression on both your faces when she broke out the harmonica!!! 🤩🥰 And count me among those suggesting Uninvited, the live orchestral version-- breathtaking!
Love this!! “Thank You” is another great Alanis tune. Hey, another 90’s song you might like for Female Friday…Sophie B. Hawkins, “Wish I Was Your Lover.” OH, and “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes!
They already reacted to 4 non blondes the title they used was “What’s Up” which I think is he official title: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-obTMEOI7xTI.html
Have y'all noticed that Jay has his own version of the Amber sway? It comes out when the lyrics and the voice work together. He looks at Amber with a tiny smile and closes his eyes. Thank you both for sharing your love with us. It's beautiful to see and to feel.
My favorite Alanis song!! She's so vulnerable and open and simply beautiful. Please consider her live version of Uninvited! It's breathtaking!! I remember watching Alanis on Nickelodeon back when I was a kid. She was on You Can't Do That On Television where they'd dump green slime on the cast for saying "I Don't Know" 💚🤣 keep smiling!! Happy holiday weekend!! 🥳🥳🥳
She's sooo vulnerable in this song, and whoever directed this video is brilliant. At least to me, whenever she stops "singing" and we just hear her ... To me, that's showing that she can't speak those thoughts out loud ... yet. Then you see her mouthing another word or two. It's just great.
I saw her singing in a bar in Ottawa (The Talisman Hotel) before she became famous, she was just a teen at the time. A few months later I saw in the newspaper that she sign her first record deal. I was not surprise because of the talent that I saw.
Jagged Little Pill skyrocketed Alanis's career to another level itcis still one of the best albums of the 90s I still love listening to her! She's simply amazing!!
Oh, thank you so much for recognizing Canada Day! You guys are incredible! This Canadian loves you! And this video, looks like she is getting lost in this love …..
I remember the first time I heard this song, it had just premiered on MTV. I was at home after a really shitty day in school, and I just sat on the couch listening to her sing and stared into her eyes. I was hypnotized. This song totally changed my mood and I felt so happy. I’ll never forget that moment.
Back when she started, my friends jokingly said that a female artist had to have A M in their names to make it big in Canada. We had Alanis Morissette, Anne Murray and Alannah Myles.
I’m really hoping they get to watch “That I Would Be Good” unplugged. Not only does it have a good message, but the vocals are gut wrenching to me, every time.
Hey guys. Let me fist just say I LOVE YOU BOTH. Amber, I love the way move when you immediately feel a song. It’s like poetry. And the way you can pick out each drop in the drums the way it sets up a verse. And just the way you are the 1st person to notice the drums in each!!and every! song you guys do! That’s why I want #AMBERSWAY to go viral. And J!!!! You love the guy I’ve loved since I first heard his playing in Back n Black! Yes Angus Young. ACDC lit a fire in me when I was very young. And it’s been a love story to this day. You guys are the reason I even watch reaction videos. So, so much love and light to keep doing what you do!💙Oh and HALESTORM “ I GET OFF” is a song from Lizzy you will love. From my heart to your family. Love and light💙💙☀️☀️☀️
"Head Over Feet" was Morissette's 7th charted Billboard Hot 100 single peaking @ #3 for 6 weeks in 1986. Between 1995 - 2004, she charted 12 singles on the Pop chart, 5 in the Top 10. I always assumed her biggest hit was the first one, "You Oughta Know" (it did win Grammys for Rock Song & Female Rock Vocal) but it peaked @ #13. Her highest charted track was "Thank U" (peaked @ #2) and "Head Over Feet" is the ranked as her 2nd biggest hit.
I remember the first time I saw her in concert. She was performing in a club, September 1995. As the show started, they turned the lights off, then you heard the harmonica playing. When the spot lights were turned on, we saw Alanis sitting on the shoulders of her bassist, with her hair draped over her face, while playing the harmonica as they launched into "All I Really Want."
Those damn Alanis songs are earworms. Don't be surprised if you find yourself singing this for days. She's an amazing singer, but an equally exceptional songwriter.
I still can't help but remember her from Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That on Television". Just about wore out my copy of her "Jagged Little Pill" CD. Incredible voice and the songwriting... amazing!
Y'all really need to listen to "Stay (I Missed You)" by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories and "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia. Both 90s classics by female artists.
I love how the director of the video was like "OK, Alanis, just do your thing in the verses and we'll do separate takes for the chorus later". Nope lol. For a great showcase of Alanis´voice, there's "All I Really Want", which gets voice crack (or yodel?) crazy towards the end! BTW, since you love the harmonica, I also recommend Black Sabbath's The Wizard.
From Jagged Little Pill album, same record as You Oughta Know which you did already. RIP Taylor Hawkins, who played on this tour. Hoping for Sass Jordan today with Canadian Female Friday.
"Head over Feet" talks about being best friends and lovers with someone at the same time, with Alanis thanking them for their manners, love and devotion.
There is another Morisette out there, Morisette Amon, who is an unbelievable singer. Akin Ka Na Lang is an awesome start, performed at the Wish 107.5 studio. Same place Marcelito Pomoy performed "The Prayer"
Great song and great reaction! You should listen to "Your House" on the Jagged Little Pill album. It really shows off everything great about her voice and singing style.
This song is so sweet. Alanis's best are 21 Things I Want in a Lover, and 8 Easy STeps. When I say these are her best, what I mean is these 2 songs are HER BEST!
Hahaha I'm watching this music reaction still thinking about your silence of the lamb reaction that I just watched just before this... 😆 🤣 😂 pause composure play YES Alanis 🎶 🎵
Another fabulous Female Friday. Susan Tedeschi of the Tedeschi Trucks Band certainly deserves a Female Friday Slot. Her cover of "The Letter" is exceptional with her raspy voice and hard driving lyrics. Killer guitar player on some songs also. She even played a blues set with the late BB King. Not well known but she can blow you away.
Wow the chord progression in this song is so different which totally matches Cher voice! The harmonica is so cool my grandpa played it. Love those chords way off on a different path but it works and makes it more haunting!! SMILE 😊 🎸🫶🫶🇺🇸🙏
She is so awesome in Concert. Saw her last year after a year delay due to Covid . Anniversary of Jagged Little Pill. I was there wheelchair and all.(Broke my ankle in 3 places and dislocated it) However I was not going to miss it.
If there's 1 album that takes me back 2 the '90's & living my 20's, it's "Jagged Little Pill"! I just happened 2 read it was written when she was n a mental hospital when it came out, hence the title, otherwise I would've thought it was just trendy b.s.! Even tho I was n2 Hardcore & Punk, this album still makes me weep like a baby!😅 I hadn't heard it n prob 10+ yrs & took some shrooms 1 night not long ago & decided 2 re-visit it. It was late night. I took a shower & walked outside n nothing but a robe & wet hair as heavy snow fell n the moonlight. I laid down on the ground & closed my eyes & disappeared, comfortably numb n ecstasy & it was even more amazing than I remembered. I never cared 4 her other stuff, but JLP 1 of the GOATS! 2 hell w/ Nirvana, this is the '90's!!! ✌😎❤
One of my favorite lines comes from her song "Everything." She sings, "You see everything, you see every part, you see all my light, and you love my dark."
I love the pauses when she is actually sings and then she is not but she is still singing. It is almost (to me) that she was afraid to say it out loud until she was sure.
Okay, a couple more Canadian women you should check out: Sarah McLachlan (Sweet Surrender, Angel-was also on the City of Angels soundtrack with Uninvited, Possession, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy), and Nelly Furtado (I’m Like a Bird, Maneater, Say it Right). Also, definitely dig more into Alanis’ second album. She shocked and moved everyone with her first album and the rawness of her feelings. But her second album is about personal growth and exploration that she did after Jagged Little Pill came out. And a non-Canadian female you’re going to enjoy is Fiona Apple (Criminal, Fast as you Can, Shadowboxer, Paper Bag, and so much more)
Another Alanis Morissette classic! Can't wait for you to do the last of the singles from Jagged Little Pill, called 'You Learn'. After that, I would really love for you guys to react to the rest of the songs on the album, especially 'Right Through You', 'Forgiven', and 'Mary Jane', and 'Your House' (the hidden track). IMHO they have some of the most hauntingly powerful vocals on the entire album!
I love how the song is just her face. Sometimes she is singing, sometimes not. Fun fact is that the term "friends with benefits" was introduced into the lexicon from this song.
Alanis is so good! Check her out as a judge on the show Alter Ego, she has a fun personality. For Female Friday in the future, please react to Morissette Amon--Rise Up. Thanks!
Another 90s goddess is Tori Amos. She's a piano virtuoso, and hey voice is truly haunting. Cornflake Girl or Silent All These Years would be excellent songs to start with
