  • Here's your favorite 90's alt rock banger that may or may not adequately explain the concept of irony! I love Alanis and I love how this came out. Enjoy!

      I felt that the non-chorus parts were too similar to the original song. It wasn't really hitting "emo anthem". It sounds great (everything Alex does sounds great!), but not titled correctly in my opinion.

    Captures the song so well, feels like I'm hearing again but I'm actually 11 in the 90s hearing what it sounded like in life back then.... how you can trigger memories from songs that aren't the original recording and somehow trigger how I heard them is really amazing. After the bridge it was like wait this isn't the original why am I having memories and feels from 199x but too deep in the feels to care. I really felt this cover deep somehow, like inside my head. From one musician to another great job!
