SO DEEP! | Thank U - Alanis Morissette (Reaction)

[@jeffmartin1026]

After her massive success with Jagged Little Pill she was overwhelmed by it all. She went to India and got things sorted out for herself, hence, this song. You fully understood what this song was about - letting go and being honest with herself. This is a favorite song (of many) of mine by her.

[@paulcallaro396]

You nailed the themes of this song, perfectly. She traveled to India and it was a transcendent experience for her inner growth.

[@AliasMark69]

I believe Alanis would be quite impressed with your insights on this song, I know I am. As usual.

[@jons.105]

I love that bridge: "The moment I let go of it Was the moment I got more than I could handle The moment I jumped off of it Was the moment I touched down"

[@saraohara2504]

@jons.105 I love this song… what do you think those lines mean? Those are the only ones I don’t really understand (specifically the 1st and 3rd lines)

[@jons.105]

@@saraohara2504 The first two lines, I think, mean "I let go of my support system/my identity, and now I'm overwhelmed" and the next two lines could mean, "I jumped from this sinking ship, and now I'm back on solid ground."

[@saraohara2504]

@@jons.105 Interesting!! Yeah that makes sense

[@saraohara2504]

@@jons.105 I was just thinking that maybe it could also be interpreted like…. The moment I let go of my music being my only purpose and instead got distracted by & sucked into the fame machine was the moment I felt like it was all more than I could handle…. And then, the moment I jumped off of it - off of that machine, or the moment I removed myself from that superficial chaos - was the moment I could refocus on what really matters & find solid ground & find a wiser version of myself…. I don’t know. I think you put it better & more simply… never mind 🤣

@@saraohara2504 no no, that's great!

She did this song live on SNL and it was amazing. I'm a hard rocker to the bone but her music transcends style and is very unique.

[@lorilxn1597]

She's so awesome

[@AliasMark69]

At the Live show my three children all said Alanis reminds them of Bob Dylan in lyrics and mannerisms. I said.... You know, I agree. She has a unique way of making her points known.

[@debbieplato5107]

This is a beautiful song! After her dizzying success of her album Jagged Little Pill she was overwhelmed. She took a trip to India and found peace and realization.

[@Stan_sprinkle]

Somehow this song always makes me almost tear up. This and Fast Car.

[@lorilxn1597]

You oughta Know is another fantastic song of hers.

[@nolansteiner4771]

awesome song. this song & U Outta Know are my favorites (very different from each other). She's really talented and one of my favorites. Go Alanis

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 Basically, All Canadian Female artists are simply amazing talents ! 🇨🇦

[@Brandi6666]

Alanis is a doll😊

Alanis Morissette - Head Over Feet (Official 4K Music Video)

[@scottsimonelli2521]

I say this with nothing but love and respect. But when the beat kicks in, the looks on certain faces is pure pleasant surprise! Only music does this. We all hear the same perfection

[@MinneapolisSkip]

Brother, you got it ! You are the best.

[@karenpower1643]

This song is basically being thankful for all the things good and bad - that's she 's learned from

[@tbnobs]

She came away with a better perspective on life take the highs and lows in your life and think if it in one way didn't help you deal with life a little better great song

[@bsquizzle100]

that woman’s voice is amazing

[@DJBilodeau]

Thanks!

[@starlit_hawser11]

You’re one of the first reviewers I’ve seen to really *get* this song.

[@maybedrinkin3241]

I frikkin' love Alanis Morissette. And she was never afraid to be bold, even if she did feel frail on the inside.

[@murraytown4]

Hometown girl.

[@DDD-wx4bo]

The big hit from my favorite album. Thank u for your reaction.

[@barryhickman6911]

Best reaction to this song by anyone. Brother you totally got this song and it's meaning in it's entirety !

[@AliasMark69]

JM is pretty good at doing that, smart guy

[@DJBilodeau]

Love how you get to the root of the message in your analysis Jarvis! Gives an extra dimension to the song that I just keep coming back for!

[@DJBilodeau]

Once again so fabulous to come home to this Jarvis! Can't wait to watch this!!!

[@leeannies-tears369]

Brilliant commentary! Thank you fir catching the depth on this one, me putting it back out there . ❤

[@pilesovinyl]

Good review JMBOY! I liked your interpretation. Thanks for your site, keep on keepin' on dude.

[@carolyndavis1045]

Great reaction ❤

[@HiddenCharmhome]

You nailed it with your impression of the song.

[@AliasMark69]

My fav from Alanis... "Forgiven"... go find out why. "My Bothers, they never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have been"

[@mikemicrael5749]

The genius Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree covers this song in his Cover Songs series. The live version of Steven performing Thank U with Blackfield is beautiful.

[@Dooklawz]

you nailed it on the head buddy...

[@AP-gb3eh]

Insightful ☮️

[@bsquizzle100]

just put in her CD “Jagged Little Pill” and let it play

[@jillwanlin9558]

You Oughta Know next please. Definitely not a gentle song lol

[@TakezoMusashi]

Dunno about tame bro, maybe about a secret to become wild :)

[@AirDOGGe]

Her fame seemed to fade a bit after this odd video came out.

[@bake7148]

I don't think this video had a lot to do with her fame fading a bit. I think it was the fact that her first album was so great that there was nowhere to go but down.
