Alanis Morissette - Hands Clean (Official Video)

[@stormy32316]

I was one of those teenagers singing along to this radio hit back then, not understanding. Alanis, I understand now and I’m sorry. Thank you for sharing your story and art.

[@ember-brandt]

Same here... I was a VERY sheltered 14-year old when this album came out (2002), and while I LOVED that album overall (and it holds up incredibly well, to tis day) - the lyrics to this particular just flew over my head, and while it's obviously a blessing that it wasn't something I could instantly relate to and understand back then... I'm also sad that I didn't understand what she was really trying to say. I also didn't have cable TV (and KZbin didn't exist until 2006, for any younger gens reading this lol), so I also didn't see the music video until Covid happened - which I'm sure would've opened my eyes a bit more to how dark the song actually was... but because I didn't see that, I just didn't "get" the song - in fact, I remember feeling weirded out about it because I took the song at face-value and thought she was singing from her own pov about a relationship with a younger man (I didn't pick up on the p*do implications in the song, so I thought she was singing about some younger man in a more... really creepy, shallow, immature, power-dynamic-sounds-like-a-lawsuit-about-to-happen kind of way that still made me wildly uncomfortable all on its own), which VERY much confused me because that _seemed_ so out-of-character for her...? But, yeah... the backstory and real meaning of the song was just totally lost on HS freshmen me, unfortunately, so I almost always skipped this song... I feel really bad about how I misinterpreted that song (and, by extension, her character) now, even though I was wise enough to kept those _very_ unverified assumptions to myself (in fact, this is the first time I've ever said any of that to literally anyone). Literally 20 years later and finally knowing what I know about it now, this song is *_incredibly_* well done.

[@GreetingsFineCitizen]

A more detailed story: It is about Alanis' relationship with her former manager, Leslie Howe. Alanis was 14 and he was 29. He manipulating her into thinking that if she slept with him, she would become famous. It lasted until she was 19. The verses are told from Leslie's perspective while the chorus is from Alanis' perspective.

[@NoOne-us9xv]

I've looked into this. I haven't seen any confirmation, from her or anyone else, that Leslie Howe is the subject of the song. In fact, I haven't even been able to find anything tangential. At best, some people have speculated about it, but I have yet to see anything remotely resembling a concrete link. If I'm being frank, I could very well see it being him. It sounds perfectly plausible, and I wouldn't be surprised. That said, if you don't have anything more than conjecture, that's a pretty serious allegation to be making.

In my opinion, the best song Alanis has ever written. More melodic, more mature, and certainly more poignant than "Right Through You" from Jagged Little Pill.

[@jacobotter708]

i mean, is that really true for you? Right Through You was a scathing no-holds-barred indictment, Hands Clean is a fairly passive-aggressive confession. it packs one of of my favorite punches, but i wouldn't view the latter to be more 'mature' than the former, psychologically speaking. screaming the monkey off your back certainly feels better than a decade of therapy about what you subtly slipped in under a pristine pop radar. the melody tho? oh god yes. i think Hands Clean is one of pop music's most underrated true gems.

Alanis shattered *so* many glass cielings at a time when the music inudstry was still *massively* male-dominated and she inspired generations after her to shamelessly speak their truths. As a child of the 90s, she felt like a spiritual older sister who taught me that my voice had value and power. I'm 36 now, and I can't even describe what *IMMENSE* pride I feel when I hear incredibly talented and popular artists of this era like Taylor Swift say in front of sold-out stadiums that if it weren't for Alanis, _specifically,_ she wouldn't be there, and for artists like Halsey to collab with her on an album centered on the theme of female empowerment.

Something that I never noticed is that the voices from the verses sections (old guy- young woman) can be exchangable. Althought it seemed very obvious that is the voice of an older guy, I always listened as how the young girl saw herself as "powerful" at the moment. To me, it sounds like she is singing from her own "inmaturity", as how she felt that it was her giving him power. That, to me, give the chorus much more power and even a sarcastic tone of superiority. Damn, this is a killer song.

The title popped up on my KZbin, I recognize the title, but couldn’t remember the song. I forgot how great it was.

[@LucDevine]

best ever. totally captures the time.

[@davidbuckthought946]

Such a beautiful & very raw talent she is..

[@daytripperarrabal]

After all these years, these lyrics make so much more sense...

[@michael85225]

I remember hearing this song a lot when I was 11 years old and not knowing what it was about. A few years ago I heard it again on the radio and listened to the lyrics and understood. An amazing song which tells a bad story.

[@rosaliecollection5672]

This song and video are so nonchalantly brilliant and pack such a gut punch. Absolutely incredible songwriting and production from Alanis.

[@Sandra-lb5pu]

So so proud she’s Canadian! Ya baby you rock 🤟

[@HappyHowdy]

She definitely is beyond her time just amazing always

[@divamarvalousoneal2454]

This song still gets to me. Amazing

[@daliamolina5832]

Profound expression of a unfortunate experience yet Eloquently sung

[@Draper1217]

I love hearing true singer/songwriter’s. She’s amazing. I miss this time period in life.

[@hiroyama4757]

彼女の曲の中では1番好き。 2024年の今でも通勤中の車内で聴いてます。

[@cfjermedal]

Alanis was such a trail blazer of the time. She sang brutally honest lyrics and sang from the soul. Been a fan of hers since 1994 and I frequently come back to her music when I’m doing my own soul searching.

[@stephenvelez9710]

there's only one way to describe how i feel about ms. morissette: i love you, alanis. thank you, thank you for all that you have done for me over the last 25 years. you have no idea how much wisdom and solace you have provided, empathy, understanding.

[@johngregory9389]

I was in love when this came out. It’s a beautiful song by a beautiful woman.

[@cristobalramirez2929]

Como el relato de un momento traumático puede sonar tan bello al oído???... sencillamente brillante.

[@derekrasmussen4707]

Alanis you fucking rock how fortunate I am to be alive when you are as well

[@TheVanillatech]

Derek Rasmussen That is a fucking awesome compliment :D :D:D:D well done man! Well Done!

[@coreystack5655]

Fuck yeah dude your the man

[@coreystack5655]

Sorry guys I was like number 70 :/

[@shoezannie]

This was such a great album. This song wasn't one of my favs at the time it came out but has definitely stuck with me. The lyrics are pretty powerful.

[@daemon_zero]

This song has been with me for a long time. Thank you, A.

[@carmabainbridge9870]

Amazing song.

[@gta8770]

This song is absolutely perfect.

[@simoncarr4724]

This got to me musically before I realised what the lyrics were. Amazing, powerful song on all levels.

[@cuscoquerido1950]

Siempre con letras buenazas Alanis. Otra gira por Latam por favor

[@darlandias]

everytime i hear this song i cry … because it’s so good :) Alanis is so unique

[@spankynater4242]

The way she makes the word mind a four syllable word.

[@AliceMoore-oq2nq]

Crazy how one video can predict the past present and future she was spot on amazing

[@OnTheGo78]

The greatest female artist off all time.

[@nagib_p]

I have to agree

[@jayxtacee5695]

💯

[@thedappercook]

That title is reserved for one lady only, Celine Dion

[@nagib_p]

@@thedappercook maybe, but not the title of "best singer/songwriter/musician/fabulous freak of nature!

[@laragutbrod9731]

If you like her music, I recommend checking out Tori Amos as well!

[@pierreodria2064]

The first time I heard this song was at the Fort Myers airport in FLA about two years ago. Happened to be with a special someone, but how it resonates with the current situation.

[@jesussson3467]

Raw talent, raw emotion.....amazing bass and guitar rifts. This woman puts 98% of the female "artists" to shame. I salute you Alanis. This is my favorite song of Alanis

[@piecesofme8531]

Alanis, the queen of nostalgia rock.

[@oldskoolcool1887]

Wow, this just hit me so hard. Only just realised what a great song this is after all these years. I'd clean forgotten about it until now.

[@stephaniemarlowe552]

Yep ❤

[@rachelcourtney6197]

Talk about a song that brings instant tears

[@wallisoncruz3173]
