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

[jivafox]

The anti-Sugar Baby anthem.

 

[Iguana]

You can ask to live by youself or live by yourself and I'll support it...

I don't BELIEVE HER

 

[Iguana]

You can ask to live by youself or live by yourself and I'll support it...

I don't BELIEVE HER

*"or love someone else"

 

[Beverley]

Is it about loving but not expecting anything back?

 

[Beverley]

That was to @Tisch

 

[Iguana]

I bet you're wondering when
The next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police
Will force you to cough up
I bet you're wondering how far
You have now danc-ed your way back into debt
This is the only kind of love, as I understand it
That there really is

AMAZING!!

 

[straightorbroken]

Well this is like The Sofa compared to Junkie's The Couch. I like it. It has a dreamy, angsty flow.

 

[Tisch]

Is it about loving but not expecting anything back?

I think so! I just think there's a couple of negative lines in there. You can "love someone else and I'll support it".

 

[RJN]

Now You Owe Me Nothing in Return, sorry to sound all Jiva, but I totally misinterpreted this at first.

It's very clearly a LOVE song about loving someone completely fully and that you'd sacrifice anything for them.

But I went a bit TOO FAR and thought it was an angsty song about how she was LOSING HERSELF giving herself away so implicitly to someone. It's just so not that. It's about a love so unconditional, like a love for your child.

Anyway, I fudging love it. The long meadering lines that somehow make a great song. Is just... MWAH.

Interesting

I always thought it was about what you thought it was at first

 

[Iguana]

But I went a bit TOO FAR and thought it was an angsty song about how she was LOSING HERSELF giving herself away so implicitly to someone. It's just so not that. It's about a love so unconditional, like a love for your child.

That is essentially Spineless!

 

[Beverley]

* chef's kiss *

 

[vespertine]

Yeah this one is nice, she accentuates odd syllables in the verses and it's interesting to listen to.

 

[Beverley]

@vespertine has gone again

 

[Beverley]

SHE BACK! SHE LIVETH!

 

[RJN]

10. Surrendering

 

[Iguana]

Surrendering is PROBABLY my least fave. But I still really like it.

 

[jivafox]

Surrendering is probably my favourite song on this album.

 

[Beverley]

Surrendering is PROBABLY my least fave. But I still really like it.

Surrendering is probably my favourite song on this album.

 

[Iguana]

AN I OOP!

 

[RJN]

That is essentially Spineless!

It doesnt seem very healthy for a relationship

 

[Tisch]

Absolutely love the synths(?) in the background of Surrendering and the feel good vocals. One of my favourites. A bit lighter and poppier than some of the rest of the album.

 

[vespertine]

"And so you CALLED and courted fiercely"

YES!

 

[Beverley]

BUT WHO DO I SIDE WITH?

MY MAIN BITCH, OR THE OTHER ONE?

 

[vespertine]

"And I embrace you for your faith
In the face of adversarial forces that I represent"

Imagine your partner saying this to you mid-argument.

 

[Iguana]

BUT WHO DO I SIDE WITH?

MY MAIN BITCH, OR THE OTHER ONE?

VERY happy for people to love Surrendering, there's not a bad song on this album!

 

[RJN]

I can't believe my computer keeps freezing at this particular moment

 

[Iguana]

"And I embrace you for your faith
In the face of adversarial forces that I represent"

Imagine your partner saying this to you mid-argument.

Been there, done that!

 

[jivafox]

This was the song where she swallowed the thesaurus wasn't it?

 

[Tisch]

I can't believe my computer keeps freezing at this particular moment

You should have said *that particular time

 

[Iguana]

This was the song where she swallowed the thesaurus wasn't it?

She's already had a GOOD HELPING of it on These R The Thoughts

 

[vespertine]

"And so you felt and you're still here
And so you died and you're still standing
And so you softened and still safely in command"

That's lovely.

 

[RJN]

You should have said *that particular time

Thats the joke I was going for, just misremembered the line

 

[straightorbroken]

It took a 2nd chorus to entice my ears, but we got there. Not bad. Billie Myers would shave her head for this.

 

[Beverley]

"And I embrace you for your faith
In the face of adversarial forces that I represent"

Imagine your partner saying this to you mid-argument.

Me to Mrs Bev
