THAT VOICE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Alanis Morissette - Thank You REACTION

[@glennrowe2961]

“That I would be good” from the same album is a masterpiece.

[@xzonia1]

She wrote this song after traveling to India, where she learned meditation and self reflection. She came to understand that things we tend in the West to think of as "bad" are often really there to teach and grow us spiritually and are worth being thankful for. Lovely song!

“How ‘bout how good it feels to finally forgive you.” Such a brilliant lyric, and gives a message of a complete recovery from the trauma expressed in her previous album.

[@dieselfeesul4928]

Is she forgiving herself?

[@robrobertson4619]

Love this tune! I believe she wrote this sometime after a trip to India where she explored Indian spiritual culture and practice. Supposedly the trip to India made her analyze all the good things and success in her life, hence “Thank You”

[@BEASTWRANGLER]

India with her mother as well I think

[@rickm8443]

And it was after the HUGE success of the Jagged Little Pill album. She took stock of her life. With a bunch of reflection. - paraphrasing.

India's culture has changed a lot since the British made them quit burning widows at their husband's funerals.

​@GrimrDirge very mature answer. India also has Hindu wisdom.

[@jdpaddon]

During the pandemic she appeared on the Tonight Show to sing Ablaze, a song about her kids. Performing from home, her toddler interrupted. A lot. She held her daughter throughout and not only sang beautifully but paid as much attention to her as she could. No headphones (daughter took them) and still sounded perfect. She's just incredible.

[@AMBatty]

Not sure who else you have today but another Canadian songstress to listen to with a beautiful voice is Sarah McLachlan.

[@OneManArmy23]

Alanis Morissette is the most outstanding female vocalist of all time.

[@Kevmacc1000]

Very well said, Sir..... she certainly is, most assuredly.... I love her so 🥰

[@barbarino2000]

Oh you really should have played the video for this one. It accentuates the message so well.

[@tonyalaudermilk3418]

Alanis and Jewel were so relatable for my life in the nineties! Jewel - Foolish Games!!

[@brianh9358]

This song from her is about how she felt after touring and promoting her album "Jagged Little Pill" for a year. She had achieved what people told her she needed to as a music artist, but didn't feel any happier because of it. She had been looking outside herself for happiness and validation which didn't help. She also spent a year in India which was a strong influence on her coming to terms with herself. This song is about learning through adversity and becoming more empathetic with herself and others.

[@76063co2]

This is one of my favorite Alanis song. Such a great message of self acceptance.

[@brianhetzer8421]

That's why the music video is so great. It shows her accepting herself as she is and learning to love herself.

[@tebindack]

Masterpiece by master singer-songwriter! Great analysis!

[@TheTish]

One day my husband came home with this cassette of 'some new singer named Alanis Morissette". I was like, "WHO?". But, Holy man! When I first heard her song, "You Ought To Know" in '95 her voice and explosive lyrics captivated me. And, frankly, some of it's rawness was off putting until I immediately realized here was a singer who's painful relationship experiences were bleeding out onto the sheet music. Her healing journey can be followed in all of her songs. "Thank You", being one of them that tells fans she's working out her demons, found and given forgiveness to those who deeply hurt her. I contend that she's not in the spotlight as much now because she's finally found happiness. How beautiful. I absolutely love her music.

[@Mellmick26]

Morissette was considered one of the biggest music stars in the world, and many fans anxiously awaited a follow-up album. During a trip to India, in 1997, Alanis wrote some songs, including "Thank U". In 1998

[@murraytown4]

Another Canadian treasure. Interesting that the official video was not selected, though I get why. I live across the street from her high school. I believe she went on a spiritual journey to India.

[@jeffpawlinski3210]

“Kind and Generous” by Natalie Merchant is another beautiful song that explores the themes of Gratitude. Jay and Amber, keep diving into Natalie Merchant’s solo career (and 10,000 Maniacs, as their lead singer) You’ll love her music more with each song. Enjoy!

Definitely Kind And Generous. So much great music from Natalie with the Maniacs and solo. Like The Weather, Don't Talk, These Are Days official videos. Beloved Wife, Seven Years and Motherland solo. She is still touring for her album Keep Your Courage which came out last year. Check out the Sister Tilly video.

We need the bad time. When things are good we coast thru life. It's only when things go bad we stop to think.

[@JustTanya.]

You guys already reacted to some of my favorites from Alanis Morissette but not this yet, "All I Really Want". That song is like the prequel to this song. Almost like she was crying out to find an answer and "Thank U" was written after a trip she made to India. Almost like she found an answer and wrote this song. I mean, that's what it feels like to me but I could be completely wrong. 🤷🏻‍♀

[@kennmceachern4260]

Alanis wrote this song after returning from a much needed break with a trip to India after the chaos of Jagged Little Pills enormous success which obviously up ended her whole life as she knew it. She loved that no one knew her there and the kind and generous people of India literally changed her life.
