Wow - I thought this was Alanis Morissette as soon as the song started.

Isn't it ironic, just how like Alanis I sound? Yes, everyone's sick of her whining, but I just know the listening public will open to my sound! Yes they will.

Come on folks, give 'er a 10. Because she deserves it. She's good enough, she's smart enough, and - gosh darnit - people like her!

I will now go puke.

And a LOT of repetition of a lick too simple and not clever enough to bear it.

I just don't understand the violent negative reactions here. This song fits in well with the other material on RP. OPEN YOUR MINDS, FOLKS!

Yeah, what she said!

Seriously, I definitely heard the Alanis similarity the minute the vocals started, but I like Alanis, so that wasn't a bad thing for me. Makes me want to hear more by Ellie Lawson.

If Alanis were singing it would youz like it any more? I though it was decent/okay no matter which one was singing.

Hey Bill,

Can you play the doorbell again. This station freaks me out!

Oh and get the door. It's probably publishers clearinghouse.

Having said that, this is the second tune I've heard from Ms. Lawson, both of which sound like they were ripped right from Jagged Little Pill. Influences are fine, but at least try to add at least a shred of originality.!
whathesaid!

Definitely Alanis but Joni? Perhaps in her tone but song and lyric writing no way. Ellie Lawson needs to move away from the 'Alanis' sound.

Sounds a lot like Alanis on her second album, this is not a bad thing either. Good stuff girl!

Some songs you hang onto the poetry, some songs you hang onto the spirit... this is the latter.
