Alanis Morissette - thank u

[Iguana]

Listening to this today and it's hitting

 

[Iguana]

Called "thank u" but confusingly the single cover said:

 

[Diddy]

Listening to this today and it's hitting

This was a mid-Autumn release, my first part time job, early nights, everything about 1998 is nostalgic for me, and this is at ground zero

I read all the build up and then thought your said "and this was a grand zero" *votes 0*

 

[jivafox]

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

 

[GNL]

Possibly my favourite song in the ever-elusive 'Alanis listing things' canon.

Adlibs of life

Much mocked at the time but it really is fantastic. The production on it is wonderful - it's aged so well! Probably my favourite Alanis vocal performance too. That outro

I'm glad to see it's her fourth biggest Spotify hit too, just behind Ironic, You Oughta Know and Hand In My Pocket.

 

[Beverley]

Just INSANELY good

 

[Peekaboo]

It's the song I listen to after a CATHARSIS to reaffirm the belief that everything is going to be okay.

Not sure why you'd need to, in a world where this exists.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Really strong production, vocal and song. She went up a level from JLP, for me, with this. It was a bit maligned at the time, moreso the video, which was tiredly predictable press treatment for a female solo artist coming off a huge album at the time.

 

[Iguana]

The video was incredibly brave really. It was mocked but it should have been CELEBRATED!

 

[BoysForSeles]

I played it on shuffle just now which led onto Sinead’s ‘Thank You For Hearing Me’, a very nice one two.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The video was incredibly brave really. It was mocked but it should have been CELEBRATED!

Completely agree and it was relevant to the story to see her 'naked' but not in a sexualised way. I feel it expressed the sentiment of the song beautifully.

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

I think it's my favourite

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Maybe

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

I usually play it and That I Would Be Good in succession

 

[Diddy]

The video was incredibly brave really. It was mocked but it should have been CELEBRATED!

Also Brave (out now) to have such a comparatively gentle lead single (and a smash to boot), considering how the reputation she was given was for woman scorned angst (and leading the marketing pushes for several female singer songwriters in her wake)

 

[Diddy]

Too many bracketed clauses in that post (but you know what I mean)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Yes (I do)

 

[VoR]

I don't think there was any other possible choice of lead single from SFIJ really. It's a wonderful album, but not exactly bursting with hits.

 

[Iguana]

Yeah save it for (the Shania thread!)!

 

[Iguana]

I don't think there was any other possible choice of lead single from SFIJ really. It's a wonderful album, but not exactly bursting with hits.

I remember reading an interview where she said as soon as she wrote it she knew it would be the lead single, which I like!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Joining You could have been a first single but probs a bit too similar to the JLP sound

 

[Loufoque]

It's funny how this song feels so wildly ahead of its time.

These days it feels very in line with wellness culture, and all the 90s mockery feels symptomatic of the toxic masculinity and mental un-health of the time.

This was a mid-Autumn release, my first part time job, early nights, everything about 1998 is nostalgic for me, and this is at ground zero

I bought this and R.E.M.'s much maligned Up at the same time, and they both could not evoke Autumn more for me. I was doing a really difficult job at the time and they both powered me through it, and it still feels like yesterday. I still really love both albums.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

UP is so good

Pffttt! You don't think Capital FM could have blasted out 'The Couch' or 'I Was Hoping' in drivetime hour?

She randomly performed this on American Idol last week.


I guess Kylie's booking suddenly makes more sense. Gorgeous though.

Sounding great, especially the end 'ad libs'. Her mic could have been turned up a bit though. Nice to see something from Supposed getting mainstream(ish) recognition!

 

[Shoat]

I have decided with the help of wine that this is the GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME without any sense of irony

Those cinematic synths. The nonsense words. The dictionary. 14/10.

I wonder what the antibiotics were for.
