Alanis Morissette - Flavors of Entanglement sync listen

[jivafox]

@jivafox Have you got some commitment issues hun?

VOLUMES

 

[Iguana]

the lyrics on this one are good

the actually song might be a little bit of a grower though. or just a non-event.

It never really grew on me to be honest, it's just kind of there. Inoffensive but not very exciting

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

does she always make her album titles stray little sparkly lyrics from the middle of random tracks?

the only albums I know in fulla are JLP and URS

 

[Tisch]

love the LYRICS! it's a touch meandering overall but I do like the restless, borderline trip-hoppy production.

The lyrics are fantastic. The Moratorium Alanis needs to slap the Not as We Alanis around the face a bit.

 

[jivafox]

I was always annoyed she didn't change it to Flavours for the UK market.

Siding with the US pigs over her European cousins.

(No offence @RJN)

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

this can be one for Instagram story quotes rather than aural pleasure

 

[RJN]

They spell it flavour in Canada anyway

 

[Iguana]

Glad y'all en

does she always make her album titles stray little sparkly lyrics from the middle of random tracks?

Mostly but not always!

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

little Eastern sounding stringy bit at the end is the best part of the song

(before the other string part)

 

[Iguana]

8. Torch

 

[jivafox]

Oh god she's CRYING AGAIN.

 

[Iguana]

Her 'torch song' for Ryan

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

love a piano intro

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is a line from So Pure, Such Pretty Forks in the Road is a line from Smiling. Feast on Scraps is a line from Bent 4 U.

Then there's So Called Chaos which is a song title and Havoc and Bright Lights which is a song title (Havoc) plus lines from a song (Celebrity).

Plus the two you mentioned.

 

[Jark]

Torch is a fucking stinker Jesus christ. she's just LISTING THINGS.

 

[Iguana]

"These are the things that I miss"

I always remember a fan critcising her songwriting at this time saying 'If she wrote Unsent now, it would have a chorus that went 'These are some guys that I fuuuucked'"

 

[RJN]

She loves to list things

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Torch is a fucking stinker Jesus christ. she's just LISTING THINGS.

it's LOVELY

lists can be beautiful!

 

[Tisch]

Torch is nice bit the "these are the thiiiiings that I miiiiiiss" is jarring. The lyrics are way simpler than she normally does.

 

[RJN]

Lists make me cry from pure beauty often

 

[Iguana]

Torch is a fucking stinker Jesus christ. she's just LISTING THINGS.

SFIJ is entirely made up of lists, I think we've established you're not a fan of that

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Torch is nice bit the "these are the thiiiiings that I miiiiiiss" is jarring. The lyrics are way simpler than she normally does.

it quite works though, when the verses are mostly so literal

 

[Jark]

"and to watch you love my dogs"

no I'm sorry. no redeeming qualities here. what a self awareness-free song!

 

[Tisch]

Lists make me cry from pure beauty often

RJN can you pop down Tesco's for me hun??

*Rjn uncontrollable sobbing*

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

omg lovely layers of instruments in the second chorus

 

[jivafox]

All these things she misses about Ryan Reynolds and no mention of HIS COCK

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

All these things she misses about Ryan Reynolds and no mention of HIS COCK

just his stiff tight handkerchief

 

[Iguana]

9. Giggling Again For No Reason

 

[RJN]

I like this song but now its just making me because of the lists

 

[Iguana]

Something a bit more ELECTRONIC now!

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

not sold on the word giggling to be honest

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

of all the laughing synonyms...

 

[Iguana]

not sold on the word giggling to be honest

 

[RJN]

Cackling Again For No Reason

 

[Tisch]

Love this. I get the 'ectasy' feeling she's describing from all the synthy bits, which is quite unusual for her

 

[jivafox]

Love the ENERGY and MOOD of this song. But GIGGLING really is super jarring

 

[Jark]

Something a bit more ELECTRONIC now!

quite a welcome change of PACE! her voice sounds lovely on top of these SQUELCHES.

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Cackling Again For No Reason

i was hoping for chortling

 

[Iguana]

I always think it's Giggling Again For No Good Reason

 

[jivafox]

I can feel the bones are smiling in my body

Always loved that line
