Alanis Morissette - You Learn (lyrics)

I actually don't have a clever quip or interesting story prepared for this song... I just really like it :) I do not own it, of course.

[@Aiyan777]

Nostalgic to the the 90s. This song and Enya save me from a suicide attempt in my teenage years. The lyrics and tunes helped me to walk and kept on and I joined the Marines and now, a veteran. Nonetheless, the Right Music can heal and saves you in Trial times.

[@julianlewis1792]

Glad you didn't act on those feelings :) There have been quite a few days when listening to Alanis helped me come out of a depressed mood.

That’s wonderful Aiyan. Thank you for staying alive and serving our country . Alanis is a wonderful person and has probably saved millions of lives.

People nowadays have no idea how huge this woman was. This was before social media, baby internet stage. MTV played music, B.E.T. played music. Radio was awesome. 4 Grammy nominations for 4 different songs on the same album and album of the year. Can’t remember if she won , I guess I could google but I prefer another fan tell me the answer.

[@DJ-yo9oi]

Yeah. My household was 99% R&B and hip-hop growing up, but this album was still a staple for us.

[@sheyannm5849]

When 90% of your childhood was bad, her songs remind me of the good times feels like home and definitely a good staple in time, my mom tried did her best💔. I sound like her I will take lessons when I can ❤❤❤

[@matthirn7858]

Such a great anthem for giving yourself permission to go all in, give of yourself, accept that to give much is to risk losing much, to learn as you go and keep taking the risk of love's vulnerability.

Listening to this has me crying. This song is so liberating. U make mistakes in life but it's not the end. You LEARN from your mistakes and you're still here. Life is about LEARNING. I don't have to wallow in what I did or didn't do I'll be ok. Wish I caught on as a kid to this song

Well, you still have to take conscience about the consequences of your acts before feeling "liberated", otherwise it´s just self-indulgence. But the song certainly sounds sweeeet

"The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend". That line makes me think of a time in childhood when a little friend accidentally set a neighbor's yard on fire while we were shooting firecrackers. I think he learned from that!

Really great lyrics in this song.

[@Iamverrypoor]

I feel like "swallow it down what a jagged little pill" is a metaphor for taking a risk that could end it all like a suicide. But if you live through it. You will learn from it. When she says "The firetrucks are coming up around the Bend" i feel like she is saying *oh shit u did it now*. When she says "you wait and see when the smoke clears". She is saying *if u didnt know the severity of your actions then, you will once this shit hits the fan*. Idk i could be wrong but this entire album touched me as a kid and I am black. I put so many ppl onto this. One friend has passed on since and i remember us being really young sitting on the steps in our neighborhood singing every track like we were grown and really understood life. I wish he was here now to reflect. What an amazing album. What a great time to be alive. Timeless.

Superstitious graffiti nonsense right here children 👆

[@jaysharpESQ]

I can't wait to learn and do an acoustic cover of this, recorded, of course - I love all her vocal inflections and variations I really want to nail emulating each one. At 40 now, I can no longer hit every note as I once could and did, which is probably for the best, personally it usually creeps me out or at LEAST irks me when men with range sing while impersonating a female artist, so I'll have to see if it sounds better strummed a half-step (eb) or WHOLE step down ... I'll add my usual accoutrements and clever assortment of overdubs to get a nice, full, cover/version rendition but..m The only question remains, which I now throw to you: To drum or not to drum 🥁? I imagine it'd be easy to find a similar (if not THE same exacting drum machine she used) sounding drum machine. Or I can truly go "d.i.y." home-grown organic and sample hits into fashioning a comperable 'kit', or simply invent a brand new loop in tempo to use. All of which, to me, are appealing excursions to embark on... But does it NEED it? Some of my favorite covers on here (by others and yes even some of mine) are just performer and guitar, I feel like a truly bombastic showy song to sing like this would only have focus detracted from the vocal with drumming. Personally, I'm leaning towards just doing a very well produced, acoustic cover with my meticulously learned vocal line and some nice ambiance and subtle electric guitar leads, fills and effects (as per usual)... But again, I'm asking Y-O-U👍 WHAT do you think Would a well-crafted cover interpretation of this song in a similar tempo REQUIRE the drum machine? Yes? Or no? The best, JAY
