That Particular Time

[@trinishiv]

so haunting and profound.. love her songwriting... the line that struck me the most "at that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me"

[@belt2529]

shivam mahadeo I love that part too!

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

Same... I even really like the following line: "That particular month was harder than you'd believe, but I still left." Those of us who go through months like that, well... at least I suppose we know we're not alone.

goosebump

[@oluas87]

Such a beautiful song, so sincere and intimate yet so relatable. I can totally picture myself in her narrative and live once again the departure of the person I once loved. ALANIS YOU’RE AMAZING.

[@leeamemory2517]

A very underrated song writer & vocalist

[@clairem.641]

Yep, true.

[@reinierwilson6]

Tears in the heart...the eyes are not enough. Alanis is amazing

[@TheDelvaughn]

Same story here -- my boyfriend, now husband, and I split up for about six weeks about 5 years ago. I listened to this song over and over and over again...but a year later, we were happily married. Totally heartbroken and fucked up, though, while we were apart!

[@kelechi321]

Wow Same story...same very happy ending. She needed her time. It hurt to give to her but man was it worth it. 10 years of happy marriage to the women of my dreams. Alanis entire collection but certainly this song got me through a very rough several months of separation. Played this song daily, every note hurt and every word of this song was true. Thankfully Alanis would later write "Everything" which serves as my we made it back together song.

"That particular month was harder than you'd believe." Hits me in the gut.

[@punishedexistence]

Damn man, that's intense. I mean really. What a helluva songwriter and musician she is.

[@debbiemckee1975]

Beautiful and Awesome and so so true....

[@Sarritabonitaa]

I love that “that particular month was harder then you’d believe”

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

"But I still left..." This could have been written about the relationship I was going through when this album came out. This song was so therapeutic for me.

[@Digomezdoradense]

In the meantime I lost myself... But, thank God! I´m ME again :) thank you God!

[@JBinOtown]

Thumbs up because I know what it's like to lose yourself in someone.

[@feykoo]

this is incredibly relevant to my current situation. my girlfriend of two, almost three, years broke up with me and in those last few days before she officially called it quits, i tried so hard to save us, and only resulted in me getting hurt. looking back on it, i should've known that she was ready to let go.

[@ilovesunvalley]

I listened to this song over and over during the year leading up to my divorce. Such vacillation, the confusion, not knowing, the waiting. It’s a process, to be sure. This line is so important: “I realized that staying with you meant deserting me.” Until I got that awareness, I could not be brave enough to leave. I did get my happy ending…20 years later I’m now married to the greatest love of my life. There is hope and redemption! 🎉

[@Eucis93]

Ouch, right in the feels

[@lindsay9587]

Apparently this song is about her relationship with Dash Mihok. Really beautiful. She is a very soulful writer.

[@_la_pellegrina_]

Feeling it today

[@ekatka40]

holy shit my heart

[@janetklaver2619]

So great!!!

[@Hollie-u2g]

I have finally found what I want & deserve. 🙏🏻💜 I have no reservations as I commit myself to an amazing man. He shows me security & love that I never knew was possible.

[@chadachamberlain2728]

SAD but so true that she is SAYING, it's easy to lose yourself in them while they could give two Shits about you,,,😩

[@chadachamberlain2728]

2023 😢 still 🔥

[@Bimbino87]

...I stood in the room, shaking in my boots...

[@creeo]

Brilliant

[@HamiltonEvans]

Always Alanis!!!

[@margaridacosta270]

Top 5 music from her.

[@MARIU01982]

HERMOSA CANCION

[@karenskultety8687]

And in the meantime I lost myself. Never again!

[@SinDuhRella33]

I want this as a tattoo… in the meantime I lost myself. I’m sorry I lost myself, I am.

[@youwarby]

i'm sorry i lost myself , I am

[@SinDuhRella33]

Andy Warby I plan to get these lyrics as a tattoo because they resonate loudly!

[@Hollie-u2g]

I never had doubts, my intentions & love were always pure ... Unfortunately I was lied to from the beginning & never shown a sense of security thereafter... If a man has to constantly seek attention from other women in order to feel desirable or special then he clearly has issues to work through & is not ready for a committed relationship.

[@Priscillalovesdc]

That particular time;" you were just an ass"

[@karenskultety8687]

Haha

[@megox7]

Describe lo que viví con un ser muy querido.

[@EmanueleSbardella]

here something that you should listened to, before approaching a weirdo like me...

[@danilosantos1997.]

oh my god

[@geidyuicabkantun9772]

lloro😭😭😭
