Alanis morissette you oughta know lyrics

Sitting in a dressing room at a Burbank rehearsal studio where she and her band are preparing for a long stretch of touring, Morissette, 34, doesnвЂ™t seem like someone whoвЂ™s been to rock bottom. вЂњThere were songs where I would listen and be almost in tears and think, вЂWhere did this come from? There was nothing here this morning.вЂ™ вЂќ вЂњShe seems to just center on that focal point, the crisis issue at the heart of the song, and she gets it immediately,вЂќ he says. Sigsworth, who has worked extensively with BjГ¶rk and teamed with singer Imogen Heap in the group Frou Frou, says, вЂњSo many of my ideas about songwriting have been changed by working with her, because she works so fast as a writer and gets the raw statement of the song so precisely so quickly.вЂќ With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio IвЂ™m teeming with the drive to write.вЂќ I put all my energy - and this also shows up in other areas of my life - my energy goes into being ready. вЂњI donвЂ™t change anything once weвЂ™re done. вЂњTypically I go in the studio and whatever IвЂ™m contemplating that day will wind up being a song. These songs were written in the exact present moment as it was happening, so that may be something thatвЂ™s palpably felt on the record.вЂќДЄ lot of that immediacy also stems from MorissetteвЂ™s unusual method of lyric writing, which is pretty much stream-of-consciousness. вЂњA lot of times IвЂ™ll write in retrospect. вЂњThere is an immediacy in that it was all written in real time,вЂќ she says. This time she didnвЂ™t need to call on the journals she usually uses as a catalyst, because the events were unfolding as she was working on the music in London and Los Angeles. While Morissette has been known for raw candor since her landmark 1995 album вЂњJagged Little Pill,вЂќ parts of вЂњFlavorsвЂќ take it to a new level. She also gutted and remodeled her Los Angeles house (one of her favorite forms of expression, she says, equal to making two or three albums), rode motorcycles, worked on a book and designed jewelry.ДЄnd made music, this time with English producer Guy Sigsworth, who helped her return on some tracks to an electronic dance style reminiscent of her records as a teen star in her native Canada. It was just really moment by moment, step by step, snailвЂ™s pace. I went to therapy five days a week, I journaled, I had a lot of support from this incredible group of friends. вЂњI miss your warmth and the thought of us bringing up our kids / And the part of you that walks with your stick-tied handkerchief,вЂќ she sings in вЂњTorch,вЂќ dealing out vivid details in her distinctively conversational style.Д«ut more of the songs - вЂњNot as We,вЂќ вЂњMoratorium,вЂќ вЂњGiggling Again for No ReasonвЂќ - are drawn from the prolonged aftermath of the breakup, a process leading to what she calls вЂњthe Phoenix rising.вЂќ While it touches on other themes, and isnвЂ™t framed as a literal blow-by-blow account, the 11 songs describe knotty conflicts and the pain of separation. Not surprisingly, you can hear all about it on MorissetteвЂ™s new album, вЂњFlavors of Entanglement,вЂќ due out today.

Everything broke, and it was an amazing and horrifying time.вЂќ So this was a huge, critical juncture for me. вЂњIвЂ™ve been on a constant journey toward finally surrendering and hitting the rock bottom that IвЂ™ve been avoiding my whole life. For someone who is a love addict, itвЂ™s debilitating. And I was a full-blown love addict, so it was like, вЂI canвЂ™t keep doing this, my body canвЂ™t take it.вЂ™ Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. вЂњI think itвЂ™s the straw that breaks the camelвЂ™s back,вЂќ Morissette says. But last yearвЂ™s split with her fiancГ©, actor Ryan Reynolds, turned out to be the big one. ALANIS MORISSETTE has felt heartbreak before, as anyone whoвЂ™s listened to her ripped-from-life songs knows.
