[jivafox]

 

[Iguana]

Yeah, I do prefer this albam to SFIJ

Just stab me in the fucking heart why don't you :emoji_cold_sweat:

 

[Tisch]

I love this verse always makes me think "oooohhhhh"

So here I am, one room away from where I know you're standing
A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
This man knows not of how this information has affected me
But he knows the color of the car I just drove away in

 

[straightorbroken]

Alanis without the bells and whistles as before is just as good as before.

 

[Beverley]

Just stab me in the fucking heart why don't you :emoji_cold_sweat:

Soz babbi :emoji_dizzy_face:

 

[Beverley]

YAY I LOVE SO UNSEXY

 

[RJN]

5. So Unsexy

I really love this one. It reminds me (probably because of the title) of Unlovable by Darren Hayes, which is one of my favorite songs

 

[Iguana]

I think So Unsexy is Alanis' fave on this album. She's performed it quite a lot (including acoustically quite recently).

 

[RJN]

I'm 13 again, am I 13 for good?

We may grow up, but certain things can make us feel young emotionally again

 

[Beverley]

I think So Unsexy is Alanis' fave on this album. She's performed it quite a lot (including acoustically quite recently).

Link ploise!

 

[straightorbroken]

Best guitar noise so far. Love this one!

 

[jivafox]

I always misunderstood the chorus.

 

[RJN]

I always misunderstood the chorus.

In what way?

 

[Beverley]

I can feel so Unsexy for someone so beautiful :emoji_sob:

 

[jivafox]

I always thought she meant she felt too unsexy to be with such a beautiful man

 

[Iguana]

I always thought she meant she felt too unsexy to be with such a beautiful man

OMG!

 

[jivafox]

When will I stop leaving, baby?
When will I stop deserting, baby?
When will I start staying with myself?

 

[Iguana]

The middle 8 is quite JLP (Wake Up I think)

 

[Beverley]

I always thought she meant she felt too unsexy to be with such a beautiful man

Pleb! (And we love to see it!)

 

[RJN]

6. Precious Illusions

 

[jivafox]

YOU'LL RESCUE ME RIGHT?

 

[straightorbroken]

Totally hooked on Unsexy's fade out.

 

[Beverley]

Precious Illusions reminds me of something, I don't know what. But I adore it. The bridge is my fave

 

[Beverley]

But this won't work out
The way it once did
Blah blah etc

 

[Tisch]

Love love love the upliftedness of Precious Illusions. Illusions never let you down. It's a happy song! I think.

 

[straightorbroken]

Precious Illusions, such pretty witchy wailing.

 

[Iguana]

I really championed Precious Illusions to be the second single as I thought it was the most commercial.

Flopped, of course.

 

[RJN]

I'll be worthy right, only when you realize the gem I am

An anthem for sending nudes on Grindr

 

[Tisch]

But this won't work out
The way it once did
Blah blah etc

Such poetic genius

 

[straightorbroken]

This chorus is mega.

 

[vespertine]

When Alanis goes for the high notes it's over.

 

[Beverley]

I really championed Precious Illusions to be the second single as I thought it was the most commercial.

Flopped, of course.

How dare you!!

 

[Beverley]

When Alanis goes for the high notes it's over.

Hey qween!

 

[Iguana]

How dare you!!

What? It's fact

 

[jivafox]

I've spent so much time living in survival moooooooode

 

[straightorbroken]

Galloping into chart oblivion she may have been, what an edge to jump off if this is the sound. The chorus is my Alanis fantasia freefall.

 

[RJN]

@vespertine in a sync listen?

Must be a precious illusion

 

[Tisch]

Love the line:

Cos I want to decide between survival and bliss

 

[Beverley]

@vespertine in a sync listen?

Must be a precious illusion

* Changes allegiance *

 

[Iguana]

Okay, That Particular Time was my go-to EMOSH song when I was 15. I just found it devastating
