GUESS WHO’S BACK?!
This is really beautiful

DO IT FOR HER
I used to write off That Particular Time as a bit of a "musical sounding" song.
Then I got older, a bit more emotional and omg I still find it devastating now.
The different word in the last chorus (won't spoil it for the first timers!) And the line about apathy KILL ME.

I feel like I need to pay more attention to the lyrics

And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself
Rip me

I only wanted for you what you wanted for yourself
And yet I wanted to save us, high water or hell
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself
in the meantime I lost myself
I'm sorry I lost myself
I am

The woefullness in the long sad downturned "self" 
it's ACTING! really but done so well. It really does hit me every time even though I've heard it approximately 20 million times by now.

This piano battlefront ballad has the kind of winning directness I found so profound on the latest one.

Some of her very best break-up lyrics, these

DO IT FOR HER
At that particular time
Love encouraged me to leave
At that particular moment
I knew staying with you meant deserting me
That particular month
Was harder than you'd believe but I still left
At that particular time
Love encouraged me to leave
At that particular moment
I knew staying with you meant deserting me
That particular month
Was harder than you'd believe but I still left

Jagged Little Pill In The Wind. Elton to sue.

That Particular Time is in my top 5 of this album.
And in the meantime I lost myself
Madge did this song a couple years later and it was called X-Static Process.

And again a few years after that and it was called "Dance 2night".

I LOVE THIS! It feels like a little swerve - a little plinky, a little bit Christian, then the electric guitars with the breathy vox

The lyrics are very Alanis and very good.
She called the tour "Toward Our Union Mended", taken from this song

Again the bass on YOMNIR is wonderful.
The dreamy, new wave feel is PERFECT. And it has some of my fave lyrics coming up

Oh this is just perfect. Emotionally, this album is so good. Just such a harmony of everything at its best: lyrics, melody, voxticals etc
How was it so easy for her?!

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.
