Strange comments...

I LOVE this song, because of the EXCELLENT music, and the EXCELLENT lyrics. They are sooo true.

Do I have different ears maybe? Or a different kind of brain?

Do I hear something that y'all don't? Or do y'all hear something I don't?

It's one of the few Alanis songs I like... and very much indeed.

This is wont-leave-my-mp3-player stuff.

I've noticed that Alanis writes about herself most...write what you know, I guess. It kinda bores me at times. sorry.

Not her best but an enjoyable song. I have no idea why it only rates 4.9

Alanis bordering on listenable. But not quite.

Found myself singing "Boring, boring" to the chorus.

This song kind of reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. We're all damaged goods, in one way or another; the trick in a relationship is to stick with the person after you find out exactly how they're damaged.

This song describes love as I understand it.

These lyrics sound cathartic for Alanis. Good for her, not neceassily good for the listener. Is she being genuine? Perahps, but to me it comes off as narcissistic.

The music is fair.

Sometimes like to listen previous Alanis records... energic performance... have to agree about the somewhat "Grandiose" lyrics here... hmmm.. is there *any* self-irony to be found on this songs lyrics? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe should wait to listen the full album before making final judgements about her career direction.... more "ironical" vocal approach could have supported these lyrics better, not themselves totally bad, as not the melody, imho. ... and then there was, if i recall it right, this producer-uglyness involved as some bad-bad-bad-bad f-words were censored out... those mot*beeeeeeeeb*kers!

clip - clip -
I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
clip - clip -
You see all my light and you love my dark
clip - clip -
And you're still here...

I like the music, but the lyrics are like a warning beacon: DANGER! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PERSON! DANGER!

Where's the angst in this song, Piper?

Her initially intriguing onslaught of angst has become a monotonous whine. Do we really need another albumn of this stuff? :headshake:

She needs to chop about 1/2 the words out of this and she would have a good tune. Great writers usually choose each word carefully and with precision.

I like the voice. I try to ignore the lyrics.

Her most awkward lyrics seem to be synchronized with her most awkward cadence. Makes for painful listening.

Oh my God, I cannot stand this woman. Lyrical diahorrea. Please just go away. Must be great when you can use your songwriting as verbal gestalt therapy and get paid huge coin for it. But HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU NEED?
