REACTION! Alanis Morissette | Thank U 

I think its a song about treating all experiences with gratitude for what they can teach you. She had been to India before this and was on a 'spirituality' search. The trouble is, this video at the time was widely mocked and some DJs at the time didn't know how to react songs about antibiotics, healthy eating and accepting trouble as lessons - in contrast to her sweary, rocky, p-ssd-off full of attitude album 'Jagged Little Pill'. It is from her album "Supposed former infatuation junkie", which although only 4 words, didn't trip off the tongue and contained few radio friendly tracks. I think it was about this time when Alanis lost the mainstream push of Radio play & TV appearences. Although she released a number of very good albums since then, I suspect the General Public only remember her from 'Jagged Little Pill' and are unaware of her later stuff.

The nakedness is a metaphor for her completely exposing her inner self here in this song, with these declarations, and so forth. "I'm gonna show you everything, my whole soul.

This song is just so powerful. To me, it’s about gratitude. It’s about what we experience when we heal. Being raw, vulnerable and healing

Alanis appreciation got you a subscription. Great artist and reaction. Tnx!

I love this song. Gratitude is very important for my well-being. Good reaction too! 👍🏼

Be thankful for all the experiences you have, both good and bad, for you become wiser with time.

Check out “You Oughtta Know” by Alanis if you haven’t heard it yet …a completely different vibe but a major banger and her international breakout hit back in the day!

The Lyric "How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics?" is a Metaphor for how we deal with intrusive things like Emotions by using a substance to repel something that is being done to you and you don't want to deal with it & hope it disappears.

Isn’t she so raw and beautiful always was ahead of her time ❤

My favourite Alanis song ❤

Love you man, you made me laugh and cry. 😂 Your reaction was interesting not least because although you didn't appear to fully understand it you evidently felt it. Beautiful!

How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics? How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up? How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots? How 'bout that ever elusive kudo? Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence How 'bout me not blaming you for everything? How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once? How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you? How 'bout grieving it all one at a time? Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence The moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle The moment I jumped off of it Was the moment I touched down How 'bout no longer being masochistic? How 'bout remembering your divinity? How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out? How 'bout not equating death with stopping? Thank you India Thank you providence Thank you disillusionment Thank you nothingness Thank you clarity Thank you, thank you silence Yeah, yeah Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This song is a message to the all of society on how lost we are in listening to the pitfalls going on with power and control

The spirituality of the country. Thankful for all her traits and beliefs. In other words, thankful for all that is thrown at you, will make you stronger

Favorite. Song. The message about being gentle with yourself & open to others is just extraordinary.

Next "You oughta know"! 🙏🏼

Great reaction.

Questions, thanks, more questions, more thanks,

Thank you

Singing teacher reacts to Thankyou right here on youtube gives an interesting take on the song with the background

We should❤

Message: Take a rest when you’re tired and it does not make you less of a person. Take a break if necessary. Forget the past and learn to forgive. Learn to let go. Find inner peace. Get back on track. Be grateful to everything. To challenges, to frailty, to terror. Then you will be happier than ever. Then you will find the true meaning of life.

Check out "Head Over Feet." That song has a great message as well.

You like lyrics check out Rush, not only the greatest power trio ever the drummer, Neal Peart, penned some of the deepest and most thought provoking lyrics in Rock and on just about any topic you can think of over four decades of brilliant musicianship.

She’s just being raw (naked) and thanking all her life experiences for making her who she is

Let me dangle a carrot 🥕

She went to India to learn meditation and forgiveness,

I'm sorry, I just can't help myself from saying this. There are so many reaction creators on this platform and 95% of them are just awful. Simply gushing about how good the artist is. No breakdown of the music. No insight into the song theme or context. No discussion of her vocal style or phrasing. And these lyrics are so out of your depth of thinking and emotional awareness you could never disertate them. Im not trying to hate, but you might be the worst I've seen at this type of critique. Certainly one of them. If you would at least like to try and improve, watch Phil at wings of Pegasus.. who is one of the best! Take care 👍

its already been said but the song "You Oughtta Know" is great! But I also really love "One hand in my pocket"!!
