Alanis Morissette - Torch (AOL Sessions LIve)

[@SomethingNewOficial]

This song is so vulnerable. So happy that Alanis is so happily married with kids right now. I hope one day a woman will Love me like this.

[@CassandraKarimthebarnmaid]

"I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this." It hits home. Such a great song.

[@8931888]

I e had to lay down my torch for someone I e loved for more than 7 years .... my heart bleeds- love knows not it's own depth until that hour of separation. Grieving like hell but torch is down

[@mattblom3990]

The song is great, so heartfelt. It also paints a great picture of Ryan Reynolds and hints at his hobbies he sometimes doesn't talk about. Him being at the door with a handful of documentaries, or sharing his writing. He honestly seems like a decent guy and someone Alanis truly loved.

[@videointercepter]

Her best and this is the only live example I find. Her voice and emotions are effortless and powerful.

[@AdamJMusic23]

Truly simple, beautifully honest & completely unguarded, there is so much power & strength in her ability & willingness to be so open & Sincere 💎 Thank you Alanis & thank you Ryan, too... I guess 💕

[@DoUntoOthersAsUWouldHaveDone2U]

Wow. Just heard this now for the first time. Years after it was written and performed, it represents every lament of missing those special aspects of every one of my past loves. So haunting, so honest. No matter where we eventually find ourselves in our journeys moving forward, there will always be a missing, to some extent. And that’s ok, for it means that there were parts worth missing, and we cannot regret that. ✨

[@susanadams3979]

I realize this is a year old post and the author may never see my comment, but I have to say that your comment is SO beautifully worded. One of the most accurate and honest statements wrapped in beauty. For some reason this song came into my head today. I'm so glad it did.

[@dillowman8]

One of the best things she ever wrote and recorded. An easy all-time favorite Alanis song of mine

[@amcmenemy5647]

Yes, it reminds me a lot of my favourite Alanis song "This Grudge".

[@kenzo1708]

Ryan Reynolds must feel flattered cuz she wrote that song after their breakup 💔

[@ingridacosta7847]

Beautiful voice! 🥰🥰 Beautiful song.

[@danihealy-fictionauthor6847]

She sounds great live! Such an emotional and powerful song...I wouldn't have been able to get through it without bursting into tears

[@Cloudxxx23]

Torch I miss your smell and your style and your pure abiding way Miss your approach to life and your body in my bed Miss your take on anything and the music you would play Miss cracking up and wrestling our debriefs at end of day These are things that I miss These are not times for the weak of heart These are the days of raw despondence I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this I miss your neck and your gait and your sharing what you write Miss you walking through the front door documentaries in your hand Miss traveling our traveling and your fun and charming friends Miss our Big Sur getaways and to watch you love my dogs These are things that I miss These are not times for the weak of heart These are the days of raw despondence I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this One step, one prayer I soldier on Stimulating, moving on I miss your warmth and the thought of us bringing up our kids And the part of you that walks with your stick-tied handkerchief These are things that I miss These are not times for the weak of heart These are the days of raw despondence I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this

This song came on on the way to the vet. My wife of 10 years, had a cocker spaniel that came to love me... 16 yeas old, but I knew her for 10 years. 2 weeks ago today, we had to put her down... and I lost it in the car when it came on. We have no kids, and it's so quiet in the house when my wife is gone. Nobody to greet me at the door... nobody peeking past the curtains when I pull up... nobody to run towards me when they go outside. Somehow, we move on... but still remember. 😌

[@joanarodriguez8304]

I love this song...he knows ..I am laying the torch for him like this........

[@Jgerman]

Such a great performance. Very emotive. I think one way or another we should connect with this song. I know I do. There is a person I miss.

[@tameekasmith321]

I absolutely love this song!

She wrote this about Ryan....

@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow wrong, it was written for Ryan Reynolds.

[@danielt00d]

@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow she did it in an interview that it's about him. And I'm no know it all, but do research things before I comment.

[@MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

@@danielt00d The only interviews I've seen, she has declined who the song is about. And it doesn't sound like him at all. OK, I'll give you a pass, thanks for letting me know, and I apologize for being so rude.

[@ericprentice3032]

MakeYouFeelBetterNow they broke up right before this record. It isn’t difficult to know it was about him.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

I had no idea she was with Ryan Reynolds..interesting

[@stuartarthur9844]

No one in the comments realising this song is completely full circle for Alanis. She started her career as a jilted and abused teen. She needed to get out that emotion. Working through that she eventually found a man (who i believe is younger) that is everything she ever wanted because it was no longer healty for either. But especially him

[@shenalally2214]

So much to miss... poor heart

[@KasiaZM04]

Alanis forever...:))

So ahead of the curve she had a whole romance with Ryan Reynolds back in the time when he was just "no lines Deadpool" in that awful Wolverine movie lmao. Anyway here's to life's twists and turns and one of the first girlbosses I ever heard of 👑

[@bradzimmer239]

As a fellow Canadian, I'm just proud and honored Reynolds never forgot his roots. Many actors and actresses will avoid ever admitting they are Canadian in order to be accepted my Americans.
