Alanis Morissette - Under Rug Swept/Feast On Scraps sync listen (Sunday 7 March, 6PM)

[Iguana]

How dare I rest on my laurels?
How dare I ignore an outsretched hand?
How dare I ignore a third world country?

 

[Beverley]

It's v So Called Chaos

 

[Iguana]

Unprodigal Daughter. Right, now we're into her early adult years, needing to escape Canada and FIND HERSELF

 

[GNL]

Me scrolling past #STOPKONY2012:

How dare I rest on my laurels?
How dare I ignore an outsretched hand?
How dare I ignore a third world country?

6. Unprodigal Daughter

 

[Iguana]

I hate "Soon be my choice of which you have no part of" - it only needed one "of"!

 

[RJN]

I haven't heard these before so I don't have much to say, but I am enjoying them and need to go back to them with the lyrics open

 

[Iguana]

I've heard this one live!

 

[Iguana]

GLAD THAT I LEFT WHEN I DID BEFORE GLOATING YOUNG KID GOT THE BEST OF ME!

 

[Beverley]

I've heard this one live!

God I wanna see her live

 

[jivafox]

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things

 

[RJN]

7. Simple Together

 

[jivafox]

God this is probably her SADDEST SONG.

 

[RJN]

God this is probably her SADDEST SONG.

She said that herself!

 

[Iguana]

Simple Together is so - err- simple, but so effective. Gorgeous

 

[Iguana]

I've seen THIS one live too. The audience spoke all through it.

 

[RJN]

But I was sadly mistaken

 

[GNL]

I love 'Simple Together'. I'm sure I had a MOMENT or TWO to this when I broke up with my Alanis-obsessed ex many years ago.

 

[RJN]

I've seen THIS one live too. The audience spoke all through it.

People can be so TERRRIBLE

 

[vespertine]

This one's deceptively simple - it's straight forward but lines like "With you I knew god's face was handsome, with you I suffered an expansion" and "If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air, my wealth would render this no less severe" are excellent.

 

[Iguana]

"I thought we'd have children together" is one of the most heartbreaking lines I think...She's constructed a whole family that's been wiped out

 

[RJN]

"I thought we'd have children together" is one of the most heartbreaking lines I think...She's constructed a whole family that's been wiped out

I can't remember if you liked Shura, but her song Kids N Stuff was of a similar theme and also very sad

 

[vespertine]

Thankfully we're on to happier songs now like Purgatorying and Hands Clean - Acoustic.

 

[Iguana]

I can't remember if you liked Shura, but her song Kids N Stuff was of a similar theme and also very sad

I can't remember either

 

[RJN]

8. Purgatorying

 

[Iguana]

Purgatorying is not an easy song, but it's fantastic. SO haunting, it has a SFIJ feel and I also find it very sad

 

[Iguana]

"I've held you up like a diety, like you're the sole owner of wings
This unrequited tunnel vision and I wonder why I've not been writing"

ADORE this

 

[Iguana]

I have deja-vu

 

[RJN]

9. Hands Clean (Acoustic)

 

[Iguana]

"I've held you up like a diety, like you're the sole owner of wings
This unrequited tunnel vision and I wonder why I've not been writing"

ADORE this

This is like me when I read one of @Jark's Cunning Linguist stories

 

[RJN]

If you weren't so wise beyond your years, none of this would have happened is such a cruel thing to say

 

[GNL]

Hands Clean is possibly my favourite Alanis song. (Since I missed the actual version earlier, this acoustic version seems the right time to say it).

 

[RJN]

In fact, the verses of this are all cruel

 

[Iguana]

If you weren't so wise beyond your years, none of this would have happened is such a cruel thing to say

Not to mention a bit PAEDO-y

 

[jivafox]

The vocal when she sings "hands clean" on this version

 

[Beverley]

The acoustic is gorge

 

[Iguana]

In fact, the verses of this are all cruel

Yes the verses are him talking to her, and the chorus and middle 8 are her talking to him

 

[jivafox]

In fact, the verses of this are all cruel

What do you expect from a NONCE?

 

[RJN]

Yes the verses are him talking to her, and the chorus and middle 8 are her talking to him

What do you expect from a NONCE?

I know But they are just so MEAN
