LYRICS
How ‘bout getting off of these antibiotics
How ‘bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How ‘bout them transparent dangling carrots
How ‘bout that ever elusive "could have"
Thank you, India
Thank you, terror
Thank you, disillusionment
Thank you, frailty
Thank you, consequence
Thank you, thank you, silence
How ‘bout me not blaming you for everything
How ‘bout me enjoying the moment for once
How ‘bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How ‘bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you, India
Thank you, terror
Thank you, disillusionment
Thank you, frailty
Thank you, consequence
Thank you thank you silence
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
How ‘bout no longer being masochistic
How ‘bout remembering your divinity
How ‘bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How ‘bout not equating death with stopping
Thank you India
Thank you Providence,
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence...
The older I get, the more profound and meaningful the lyrics become. When you’re young you hear the music, when you’re older you hear the words. Thank you!
Amen!!!!!
True

totally true !!
She is not singing to anyone, she is singing to her inner soul.
This is my anthem, for self love, self care and the wish upon the silence of my mind.
Time to be compassive with myself.
Only those that are intouch with themselves will understand!
"she is not singing to anyone" bruh she's singing on a song with major label powered distribution.
Self love❤😊
My Dad died in Feb. 1990 at the age of 58. My Mom just passed this August, 3 days before my Birthday. This song reminds me so much of following in Dad's footsteps. Every Christmas he invited anyone who was alone to join our family for a Christmas dinner. After he passed and Mom moved, I called it "The Lonely Hearts Dinner"....Every Christmas night Open House and played Counting Crows. This year, I am just hoping for 2024 to be better than last year. Thankfully, my friends, nephew and his wife got me through a rough December. Love to all....may we all have a better year and continue to listen to CC's incredible music, year after year. XO
All the best for you!❤ Be sure your golden heart father is still doing well! He is near you and will lead you into the upcoming better times! Kindest regards from Germany!

I am now 65 and this song is still as moving and powerful as it felt when it came out so many years ago. Great artist
@@davidhardy9212 same age and know exactly what you mean 👍
I love this song because it reminds me of how it feels to emerge from trauma and horror, blinking in the random sunlight, uncertain of why you're even there and if you deserve it. You deserve the sunlight. You deserve the chance to become something fresh and new. Thank you Alanis, for reminding us all of that
EXACTLY! 💖🎯
Awesome interpretation and message 🙌
what a beautiful space this comment section is
Wow. That was a beautiful sentiment and so true.
It’s the feeing of healing
Alanis is one of the greatest songwriters of the past 50 years. She was groundbreaking, brave and fierce and her words hit different genders and races differently depending on the situation but ultimately the same. Truth is rare in songwriting, more so today than it was in the past 40 years, Alanis is that rare gifted beyond her years " Old Soul" that landed to teach us all it is ok to be real and human and just feel. Thank You Alanis.
EASILY ONE OF THE TOP 5 SINGER/SONGWRITERS OF OF BEAUTIFUL TWEENER GENERATION...

Do you remember just how big she was in the late 90s? I saw her in concert back then, and I think I still suffer hearing loss, the crowd was screaming so loud that it drowned out the music completely.
Only 19 too !
@@kovacs88 hbo max has a documentary called music box jagged i watched about her in the 90s. Its rellay good
Ikr!😉💖👍😎
This song makes me cry. You would expect this level of clarity to come from an older person, but Alanis was 23 when she wrote this! She must be at the end of her karmic cycle cause this is pure, pure wisdom.
Only a super talented writer comes up with lyrics like this. Still hits at you, 20 something yrs later. Still relevant
I seen it make my Mom cry once when I was little. Now that I'm older and listened to this song after many years. I finally understand, I cried too.
She left me, now I remember her strongly through the music she loved. ❤
she is an old soul❤
Yes sir@@kawaiinelson8419
Yes sir
Even as a kid, deep down, I know she was awesome. I'm now a 38 year old man and I listen to this and reminds me of the great time I lived through, the 90's
Pop up video?
I'm 60, still listening to this powerful voice 😊❤
😥 I miss this time so much.
Like me , im 36 year old , greetings from Poland mate 👍
I am a 38 year old woman and I agree
When I was a kid I used to hate this video. Now I realize it's the perfect metaphor for enlightenment. You walk through life completely vulnerable and exposed, but never afraid or weak because a sense of wisdom, strength, and inner peace stays with you. Every now and then a fellow compassionate soul reaches out to you with love and affirmation, and in that moment it means more than all the supposed promised love of paradise.
Beautifully said ...
It actually is the love of paradise, reaching out through those comapassionate souls with a an encouraging reminder that you are on the right path
wow I just thinks the same now¡. I saw this video for many many years and just now I understand this.
Temaso cuando viajas lejos
Absolutely
To portray nudism without sexuality is a feat in itself, but what the Video actually shows is a depth of sympathy and humanity towards all people, so well done Alanis, 'thank you' indeed
It takes guts for anyone to stand in a crowded city naked while people hold you, but I suppose it's a metaphor for human vulnerablity
True. I know people think it's barbaric and uncivil, but we have an annual festival in parts of India, dedicated to a nude Goddess called Ma Kali, as a presentation of raw nature kind of way (strategically covered with garlards of flowers and skull from the demons she killed in the mythology). There is nude sculpture in many ancient Indian temples. Somewhere through 1000 years of invasion, we have partially lost our sense of openness and free thinking. She wrote this song after a trip to India.
I doubt you would think it was not sexual if they had not blurred her vagina and covered her breasts. There is no nudity in this video so your comment is wrong.
@@crosisofborg5524 I think that was to get by the censors
@@crosisofborg5524 But obviousy you do understand that she was never really naked in this video right? She was not really nude in real life... I take this as an artful music video, which depicts vulnerability not edited vulgar soft porn. Take my opinion in context instead of trying to prove me wrong... it's my opinion, end of... it is subjective and you are also in turn entitled to your opinion. Which you have voiced, kudos to you.
The most beautiful song of praise, so deep, so layered
What gets me in this video is her eyes. Such peace and tranquility. Her message of letting go and opening up to find your inner peace... As a grown man I am not ashamed to say she can bring a tear or two to my eyes with her beautiful spirit.
You're so right. When I see her expression, especially on the train, I can't help but think, "This woman knows things.." To be so insightful at such a young age!
@@yvettescheiman4991 yes she is amazing. I don't know her. But that song You Ought to know, is a masterpiece. And I know she is nothing like the character in that song. But it took a well adjusted creative mind to write such. And I tip my hat to whoever raised here. Damn good job!
I just mean whoever raised her are the unsung heroes.
@@benjieduke3693 I can't agree with that. Some people come from terrible backgrounds and decide to stop the cycle themselves. Some people come from great backgrounds and turn into monsters. The choices are ours to make
@@michaelwilliams9574 thank you for your Christian reply. And my hat is still tipped to whoever raised her.
At 38 years old the lyrics finally hit me in the heart and I totally understood it. I couldn't stop crying
I recently turned 40 and re discovered jagged little pill album. It means so much more listening to her songs now doesn’t it ♥️
@@westofthewicky2960 yes it does..it's like we didn't understand how amazing she is till we grew up.
this song just answered a very important question for me regarding a broken relationship !
@@a-bd1216 this song has the answer to everything.
I was very young when this song popped just loved it but didn't understand it now I understand it it's as deep as the ocean 💕
I am 54 years old on this earth, and I still feel the same emotion that indescribable sensation that Alanis Morrisette provokes in my soul when I listen to her songs. Thank you for giving us your voice, your melodies, your lyrics, your music. Every time I hear this song my tears flow with emotion. Thank you very much.
im 56 this week, were as old as we want to be! luck mate!
Your 54 years old on this Earth??? How old would you be someplace else? Do you have another planet your seeing on the side??? Do you age differently there? So your like 54 here and like 24 some place else? If that's the case why would you ever come back to Earth?
@@kissmyassski4231 you're really stupid if you make a comment like this. Not even funny. Everyone knows what he means. You're the only one questioning something so stupid trying to be funny to gain internet attention. How freaking pathetic.
@@kissmyassski4231 people typically say things like "I bet you're fun at parties" to people like you.
Yeah!
Compassionate and kind to oneself.
We owe ourselves to be kind, too 🧡
When the season is rough, go slowly, go tenderly..
Pure love always wins 🤍
And a broken heart needs time and patience and nurturing to heal..
I love you, Alanis, since I was 12! 🧡
I was 16 when the song was released, smiled when I listen to it. I'm 40 now, and crying when I am listening to this, profound lyric she wrote. The gratitude feeling, the process of accepting grief, the detachment, and else. The song taught me a lot of things. Thank you, Alanis! 💚
Well won experience. We all get there on the end and feel the toll of that journey ❤❤❤
@@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne true!
E hoje tenho 40 anos e ouvindo esta música a vontade que tenho e poder voltar ao passado onde havia tempos melhores essa canção e bem atual
Yeah because she wouldn't be utterly gang raped in India...
Thank I was just thinking the same thing when this song came back.
Thank U Alanis, 20 years ago I appreciated your music, now I realize how fucking brilliant you were and still are. Thank U so much for everything that you did and still do.
She Thanked India in this Song because she found her inner Peace there. Truely Amazing. We Thank You Alanis for your Wonderful Voice and Music you shared with all of us. God Bless You.
God Bless
This is amazing and aged very well. Her voice is beautiful. Here in 2025 and I still love it. 😊
A lot of people focus on their perception that her subsequent work didn't meet the same incredible heights as JLP, but why not choose to be thankful for the incredible gift she gave with this amazing, open and honest album.
The imagery in this video of people reaching out to touch her with compassion, or to simply connect as humans during her moment of vulnerability is quite powerful. Unfortunately my experience has not been the same. People all too often view a persons vulnerability as weakness, and it brings out the worst impulses in them.
Maybe that's also part of what Alanis is trying to say though. Being mistreated by people when we are vulnerable is an inevitability in life; goodness knows we've all hurt people in our own lives in some way. It's so easy to become cynical and pessimistic as we pass through day to day existence; the struggle is to learn patience, optimism, understanding, and openness. Suffering provides an opportunity for us to be humbled, to learn more about ourselves, and grow as individuals. Thank you Terror :-)
Thanks Bran Nubian for your reflection. After an illness we just learn about goodness.

Thank U Alanis.
This song goes WAY deeper than most people realize. Alanis is a poetic lyrical genius!

Exactly.
Officially the greatest album of all time
definitely the greatest female singer songwriter albums of all time. such a masterpiece.
Although "Thank U" was of course not on "Jagged little pill"

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is classic
Thomas Smith
as a teenager who has deep trauma and nearly didn't make it through so much of my life, this song has meant so much to me. please don't generalize that young people can't understand what this song means. thank you so much alanis for being the artist i've listened to in my darkest moments
Anyone old enough to know this song in their teens or as an early adult is one of the lucky ones. Such a deep, talented and diverse world of music we grew up with. Some great music came before the 90's but we're also old enough to know most of it. What a time to grow up in.
1989 to 2000. Some of the greatest albums ever produced. My sister listened to Alanis but I was into alternative bands. Now I listen to her lyrics and am blown away at how deep she actually was.
Born in 1994. Greatful for the music from then
Love this song and I m 51 and I love it
Definitely enjoyed the type of music growing up as a teenager. Can’t believe I can still remember to this day.
Not to mention really listening to those songs and understanding them way more! It's interesting how you can know every word to a song and not hear the lyrics ...
Im 40 and in my teens/ adult years you dont realize how deep, well put together the lyrics are in all her songs. Man do they hit different now. Wow
You should really get out more 😂

Could you imagine if she had done an album with Alice in chains? Gives me chills thinking about it. Alanis in Chains
I knew I liked this great artist as a kid growing up. As an adult, when you hear the meaning of the words, you can’t help but LOVE her. Thank you Alanis ❤
As a teenager, your songs literally saved my life. You taught me that it was ok to be an outcast and how to love myself. Thank you thank you Alanis for teaching me the importance of touching the ground and how to be strong!
I will never forget how you made me feel ♥️
💕🌠
Good stuff Alice.
Hi, Alice ❤️....which other songs of Alanis you suggest me to listen to? Thank you and forget my english 😌
@@liciascalzo8161 hi Licia, i suggest you thank you, ironic, hands clean, everything, head over heels, and the whole album under rug swept. All the 90's songs in general from Alanis. Listen to the lyrics, understand them, it made me feel better and it was a relief to realise that Alanis was talking to me and saying "maybe now everything seems hopeless, but things will turn out well somehow, just be confident, trust yourself and eventually you will be loved because this is what you deserve".
Hope you can feel this too! I am sending you good vibes ❤️
@@alicerosi2586 thank you so much ❤️ It's a very difficult period for me and I really need good Vibes....! I'll listen to the songs you suggest 🙂 God bless you .....and Alanis
Took me 24 years to truly listen to, understand and appreciate the lyrics in this song!!! So damn powerful! Thank you Alanis Morrisette. ❤
Me too
Yep, "Thank U" randomly came into my Spotify rotation recently, and I forgot how much I loved it in college, but never really understood it till now. I love it even more now.
Same
The main message of the song is.
Thank everything what happens in your life..
Weather is fear, depression, humiliation,
happiness, gratefulness and love.
Thank all of them because that's what makes you human.
It's just gathering more and more dirt over the course of your time. Is that what it supposed to be?
Consider this a like since you have 69 and don't want to mess it up. I only wish it wasn't so painful to learn compassion.
May 31,2021 101👍 it's not about just learning, you have to do it & apply it in your life. An addict of anything has to mean it with their life to stop & say thank you. Suicidal has to fight to be happy & say thank you life. You find who you want to be that is the goodness of a higher power. It took me 50yrs. to finely realize who I am. Now I can stop counting & enjoy my life. I like this song 💕 Namaste
I see a rather esoteric message, in regards to the awakening-driven thanking for a higher-level of consciousness. India (a wink to hinduism, I suppose), the void, the present moment, forgiveness, remembering one's divinity (spiritual identity), her gaze into/interaction with what one would describe to be the astral, she's naked which symbolizes that she's without a mask, that she has let go off her ego, etc... all new age/spiritual concepts.
@@PaulieTheDude no it's about not letting yourself become buried by the dirt. No matter what kind of dirt gets kicked into your face you move on and endure you're not going to sit there and give up
46 here... been listening since day one... one of the best female artists of all time, almost definitely of the 90s!!!... glad I was there..😂
I saw a documentary about her and it showed her working in the studio. She was working on the lyrics to a song and she would just let loose bawling when she'd write down something great, something meaningful to her and perhaps profound, as her lyrics sometimes are. She's an artist and she digs deep to give something good to the world. I certainly respect her.
Check out "Jagged". Saw it last night.

At the time that Alanis wrote this back in 1998, she had just come out of an exile that lasted a year and half. She had went into exile to recover from the stresses of having had her first successful album, the pressures of having just finished a worldwide tour promoting it, and fans constantly asking her when the next album's coming out. Geminis don't handle stress that well. They have to have some time to cool off, which is basically what Alanis did by going to India, which she gives thanks to in the song. When her follow up did come out, songs with lyrics like this weren't expected by fans and many panned it at the time as a result. Fans expected Alanis to follow up with the same revenge lyrics that made "Jagged Little Pill" the success it became and she didn't do that. She went her own way on "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" and as a result, the album didn't have the huge sales success of her prior album.
Which is why we never stick our dick in crazy.
A masterpiece, a history.
I can't get over how unbelievably talented this woman is.
She is a goddess
GALACTIC lol
I agree, OP. I stumbled onto uninvited and feel it is a great work of art. And as I'm prepping it for a presentation, thought "maybe this youngster did other good sh*t".
The song above is the third I've heard. And there is MORE!!
Unbelievable lucky am I!
i just saw her....she was awesome
@@Doyamn so you're bragging?
She is absolute and clearly far ahead of her time. I love this song and these lyrics. Her appearing nude, equating to vulnerability. Thanking every single thing that life throws, its an ode to the ways we should live. Allowing it all to contribute to the ways in which we understand and navigate this life & our purpose here... Thank YOU Alanis.
I lost my mother a few days ago on June 2nd. She unfortunately passed away in her sleep.
She was only 57 years old. She loved Alanis. This song had me tearing up like a baby.
Love you mom! Rest in peace!
💔💔
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. Mum loves you
I lost my mom on June 4th I feel for you. My mom was 71 and in good health and had a massive heart attack and she was gone, I was lucky to have her. A you can do is remember the good times!
Sorry to hear of your Loss...
Hope sharing your Sentiments is comforting, hopefully with positive memories, too...
May your Mom R.I.P.
Sending my love to you brother. Rest in peace to your beautiful mother.
Isn’t it ironic that a genius communicator like Alanis can express things so simply and clearly ? Dontcha think?
"It's like RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN on your wedding day" 🤣
@@kingkrysen -Yeah, I really do think! 😉
You oughta know
I mean, you live you learn
Ahahahahaha
3:33 "Thank you, THANK YOU SILENCE! YEAH, YEAH!!!"
Will ALWAYS be my favorite part. I just LOVE the way she sounds. I couldn't ask for a better singer to sing this. Thank you Alanis ❤
Em seguida com seus gritos arrepiantes .....
She always sounds like a siren( mermaid) at the end! I love her little rift at the end!
She was 23 years old when she wrote this. Speechless.
Seems like yesterday right?
Never realized she was actually one of the first queens behind the anti-medical victim revolution!
She must've wrote a lot of her stuff when she was young.
Wow
And she was 20-21 when she released Jagged Little Pill, right?
Being naked can symbolize shedding pretenses and being one's authentic self expressing a willingness to be emotionally exposed, to let go of defenses, and to appreciate the genuine moments in life.
That it total vulnerability
That's truly profound.
To me it represents feeling exposed and vulnerable.
The first time I’ve seen this video believe it or not . My American friend used to talk about Allanis and this video all the time. He’s madly in love with her.
Wow
"Think we all owe Alanis Morissette a big *THANK YOU* for this timeless classic"
Thank u for this
Absolutely!
Do you want to get married?th-cam.com/video/HWXGD-OeeQ0/w-d-xo.html
Totally agree, this is beautifull, thank you...
I just appreciate that she exists at all. 🙏
What a mind!
I remember my mom once watching this video on TV , and being touched by it . She had just gotten cancer. Strong song that connects . Thank U
I’m realizing she wasn’t being sarcastic but really thanking all the moments in her life.
She was ahead of her time for sure. What a gift her music is
She was in her time. Just most others were not aware of the world around them.🤷💤🐑
I agree, she was ahead of her time. I remember that people made fun of her for the video when it first came out. I think her message is even more profound as the years pass....
ahead of her time how?
@@goldfishi5776 Only MTV air then for two hours in my country India.
@@LSTAR06Do you remember the Celebrity DEATH Match parody? I feel sad about her
I’m 50 and this is still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Saw her live about 8 years, she’s amazing & I even caught her drummers drum stick!
Mee too
Wow. That would’ve been a transitive experience!!! Not sure I used that word correctly but hopefully you get it. 😅
I grew up listening to her music in fact I had purchased every album that was available back then, Life changing music that helped me in my time of growing up and experiencing life as a young adult. Everyone wanted her albums we were so use to the way music was going back then and then she made her debut and what a life changer for many of us with the brand new style of music and deep lyrics that nearly everyone could relate to.
Thank You Alanis for everything you have done and still are doing when I heard you were going to tour again I literally lost my shit, Sorry for the language but I freaked out and sadly you were touring everywhere but the state I reside in so again I missed out I sure hope you consider doing another tour in the US and hit the states you were not able to. Today it's Jan 24 2025 and I found myself like seriously needing some Alanis Morrissette music so the first song I picked to listen to again and relive some of the memories I had back in those days.
Thank You! For sharing your beautiful talents that you have been blessed with and the fact that you came back and started making more music is something that means so much to me and others. Thank You!
This song reminds me of my sister who lost her battle to cancer last summer, and I always come back to this song to feel like I'm with her again. You were one of her favorite artists and this song means the world to me. Thank you Alanis ❤️
Beautiful words
Brad, I was so sorry to read about losing your sister. I have lost 3 brothers and two sisters to cancer. They just couldn’t put down their cigarettes. The pain gets easier as more time passes. Hang in there. She knows that your thinking about her.😊
How 'bout not equating death with stopping?
you'll see her again.
Similar! It reminds me of the content I would use to jerk off to when I was a teenager! :)
Bro you made me cry I'm sorry for you man stay strong
this song saved my life, and has been a constant companion of strength. the best part is that i'm not even remotely alone in feeling this way. thank U, alanis.
Stephen Velez It saved my life as well. I feel more lucky to be born like this❤️
I've always loved her. This is the first time I realized this song is about healing from trauma and it came back into my life at the exact right time. I'm ready to move on and just be happy.
Same here. She's simply a genius. This is coming from a guy that's really fussy and listens to Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Kinks etc.
This song always annoyed me. I never stopped to appreciate it. Now I'm bawling my eyes out. I loved her when she first came out, this was just 'different' from the 20 something Alanis I was used to.
Reading Brene Brown Power of vulnerability. How much more vulnerable can you be than being naked and letting people thank you?
It took you so long to find that out
Yup 👍
America never truly digested the poetic beauty of Alanis.
A woman with balls of steel. She expresses what some of us feel but cannot do - especially at the end.
Unintelligible comment@@B4_J20
Or a woman with a vagina. No need for steel 😊
At 62, perhaps I'm a bit past by her target audience, but I'm so moved by the lyrics and how much I relate to my life and how I reached where I am today. But I wouldn't trade any experience I had, because it has created the life I have today. All my pain of the past is reflected in the joy I have today.
I think these lyrics are timeless and she isnt targeting any one age group
don’t worry my friend… music is for anyone
@@Rose_19911 Facts
not at all ,magic song ,I am 66.
...ones where the people come up to Alanis and put their hand on her shoulder and show care and concern. It is such a beautiful thing we can all do for each other; show kindness and compassion. We are all here for such a short time. It's such a shame what we do to one another with our words and actions. We can change. We can be thankful. Thank you, Alanis. Thank you.
Drew Mather you are a beautiful soul for sure Drew🙏
Today at work I was going through a lot and somebody took it as me being rude. He said I needed to be in a better mood. I said I'm almost at the point of killing myself. He said you should get on that. He was a complete stranger.
HI , THAT IS AN AWESOME COMMENT !😊👍
I like what you said in your comment, but I'd been watching the video a couple of times and thought I noticed a timing of each encounter with a particular descriptive emotion being outlined in the lyrics, not everyone, but at key points to emphasize the lyrics, as a whole.👍😌
+Tim Davis Looking at it artistically as well as heartistically.
Poetic liecence, you understand.

This song takes me right back to the unforgettable 1990s. As the years passed, its meaning deepened for me, resonating in ways I never imagined.
January 1999, this song , a seed was planted for me to get sober! That day came in October of 2002.

Awesome!! Not easy to do..keep it up!!
Seriously, this is one of the greatest songs EVER written! It tells the story of how Alanis couldn't cope with the amount of fame she found after "Jagged Little Pill" sold mega millions. She went to India to meditate and try and make some sort of sense of her life.
Every time I hear it, it brings up so many emotions ...
Interesting!
Yes, I heard her say that in an interview; she also said the nudity depicted her in the shower, but she didn’t elaborate beyond that!
I think she is yelling at Dave, dropping her.
Sudden worldwide fame must have become a very difficult reality for her. JLP brought the world to her feet and she began to feel overwhelmed.
close. it's about Recovery from Addiction. It's describing the Process of the 12 Steps. I'm sure she went to India and was told by one of the Gurus that what she was seeking was in the 12 Steps. I always loved this song but never understood it till I worked the steps and got sober. She's saying Thank You to all of the Circumstances and Emotions that eventually drove her to "hit bottom" and get some help. I'm not trying to be a know it all it's just that I've lived it myself. There's Symbolism through this that would take HOURS to explain. in the 4th step you list ALL of your Grievances and then you go down the List with your Sponsor and "Grieve it ALL one at a time" and then you deal with it and get over it and get on with your Life after realizing we have NO control of the Past so any energy expended on it is wasted Energy. That's what she means when she says "The Monent 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"
And TRUST ME. You CANT go thru a 4th Step without "unabashedly bawling your eyes out" 🙂❤️
Alanis's music has helped me through some very dark times in my life. The healing journey continues with her lyrics. She is not a musician. She is a mental institution. Thank You Alanis!
That is such a profound and succinct analogy for Alanis's art. Very well stated.
This comment section made me really happy. I was a youngster in the 90s and was expecting it to be horrible, like all the hate Alanis was receiving back in the day. Instead it is just 100% positive and filled with love. Amazing!
The raw emotional power of her voice is literally unrivaled. She conveys a sense of vulnerability that is So fragile yet so resilient. I can't think of another female singer whose vocals affect me as deeply as her. What a gift to be able to listen to her music 💜🎶
Björk maybe?
oh hell no@@selisafish
@@selisafishNo...
Pink comes closest in my opinion. But she’s no Alanis. Guys didn’t listen to too many female singers back then but when Alanis came around she attracted EVERYBODY. The women wanted to be her and the guys wanted to go to the movies with her..😏
Pure looking at the voice similarities Avril Lavigne. She has songs like 'I'm with you' and 'Happy ending' but those lyrics go less deep
One of the most deep and profound positive songs ever created if you really understand the value of the moment and letting go aligning with who and what you truly are!
Very powerful song.
Anyone else want to cry and also feel a sense of relief when you hear "The moment I let go if it was the moment I got more than I could handle. The moment I jumped off of it was the moment I touched down". Thank you.....
Do you Rock to this Song????
I actually did Deanna. It's so beautiful and real.
Yes me
Thank you for your Love. Have a nice 3 Advent. **dis Illusion Ments

Man this is an amazing piece of music, she is the real deal for sure, a very spiritual human being who is ridiculously talented.
This might be the most amazing song I have ever heard…this perfectly encapsulates the healing journey. The lyrics are perfect and so deep, it just touches you deep in your soul. It’s a pop song about achieving enlightenment, just wow. She was definitely ahead of her time!!
Nudity can represent more than one thought. It can represent vulnerability and it can represent freedom from social definitions and it represent total honesty, nothing hidden no costumes, no games. I see all 3 in this video. Her vulnerability is not weakness but a non aggressive spirit and humility that comes from recognizing one's self and her role in the universe. If you watch her face and expression throughout the video, there is no fear or confusion but the look of someone who has won a spiritual battle and won awareness and is profoundly grateful
you've probably never been told to fuck off by some one that makes you horny
One of the most beautiful and profound comments I've ever read on TH-cam to one of the most beautiful songs ever (and video too)! It cannot be said better and more beautiful, very well done!!
This comment corresponds to a pure philosophical thought. These are observations that correspond to factual reality.
But above all this young woman has a pretty voice and is quite lovely
Lester Jones you have a very good point Hands Down just as she does. 🎈
Can you repeat that!
20 years later this song has a much deeper meaning for me. I thank you Alanis Morissette for articulating this so eloquently! 🙌🏻❤️☕️

Beautifully said. I agree. It does more than take me back to when the album came out. I felt strangely moved watching this video again.
Bisou
Amen Noneof Yourbusiness
Help me to understand this song.
Life is about enlightenment through pain.
Forgiveness will bring us to happiness.
Thank U. 🙏
Alanis Morrisette you will probably never read this but just know that you are a beautiful vulnerable woman. My wife and I grew up listening to your music and got us through a lot of crap in our life. Thank you. Absolutely beautiful song.
Atlantis?? 🤣🤣🤣
You're right, Atlantis will never read that. 🤣🤣
@@marcodia3443 Yep I fat fingered that. Fixed ^^. LOL
Ya ,,, my wife use to be my best friend too... then she ruined it ... and made it impossible for me to feel the way I DID B4 ,,,,AND IVE BEEN STUCK EVER SINCE ... FOR 12 YEARS NOW ... IVE TRIED .. I CANT FIND IT .. IVE BEEN LOOKING AND TRYING TO FORCE MYSELF FOR 12 YEARS...
IM SORRY...
@@ryanejhinger5331 your words keep you in prison
The song "Thank U" by Alanis Morissette is about learning to be grateful for both the good and bad moments in life. In her lyrics, she expresses gratitude for difficult experiences such as taking antibiotics, enduring disillusionment, living with consequences and weakness, and being open to change. It also acknowledges the need to forgive, be vulnerable and leave negative situations behind. The song reminds us to reflect on the blessings of life, but also the difficulties, and to be grateful for both.
What a beautiful breakdown of this song. Thank you ML 124.
To me...this is a perfect song. It is selfish in the way I believe we should live. I need to live...here is how I cane to this..

@@vincegarcia2912 ! 👍
@@jeffbanning3838 You're absolutely right, it really is a perfect song. The lyrics make you think very intensely.
I believe in the 80s they pumped farm animals with preventative medicine instead of addressing their stress and poor living conditions and their man-made hellhole life. This then resulted in hormone disruption in humans, immune system issues, cancer etc and they tried reducing the chemicals and raising animal welfare (not very successfully).
I believe "antibiotics" were a metaphor for medication you didn't need to take. Ergo addressing the real trauma.
She pours out her soul in this song. Definitely one of the most powerful songs of all time. A song about accepting yourself and overcoming trust and confidence issues like no other. Such an anthem.
Greetings from Chile.
Saludos compatriota!!
Thats so beautifully put, beautiful insight
I was blessed to attend my first Alanis concert over the summers. My only regret was that I didnt have my two daughters with me to experience the magic with me. This Saturday on a beautiful Florida evening I took my girls from Michigan to Jacksonville to see her once again. I didnt want to be any where in the Universe but there holding them and listening to Alanis. It was just a perfect moment that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you Alanis. Your music has helped me through some very dark and challenging times of my life. You don't know how much it has meant to me.
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever...
Maui yep it is! 😆 the most
This and head over feet.
Ryan Bills True...and ´That I Would Be Good’ too...amazing tune, especially the unplugged version...
Maui it can be☺
Thank u dis-ah-lusionment!..thank u consequence...thank you nothingness..thank you thank you silence...🙃😱👀🙏😵😂🤫
For me, this is the most beautiful song she's ever done. From the fragile piano-like sound (especially that, I can't get over that sound), the instrumentation and production, the vocals, down to the lyrics, it all comes together.
I finally can see the spiritual significance of this song. Thank you 🙏
I cant inmagine being the producer and seeing her sing this and her other songs in the booth...had to be a beautiful experience
3:09 I cried when she starts seeing the magical sparks. To me, that's what finding peace and happiness feels like after not knowing it for a long time
I agree 💫💞
I used to think it was only music that made me vibrate inside, but now at 44 years I fully understand its meaning
i am physically disabled by a traffic accident 18 years ago since then music is my support thank :-))
I am going through my own stuff and such positive vibes really helps...Love to you
Real music
She is an Angel...I believe.....just one of many you have, my Love. Ive seen mine...they....ARE
@doons403 yo tuve suerte al menos puedo andar pero cuando va a llover lo se . pero los primeros años son los mas duros
Hang in there mate, you are capable of much more than you can imagine! I'm an office in local law enforcement, traffic division, motorcycle unit. I've seen my share of accidents and people overcoming overwhelming odds. I, myself just went through an emotional breakdown that almost took my life. My mother and the guys from my squad were the ones who helped me to overcome it. That said, you have someone by your side, that I truly believe! Hang in there.
The word demigoddess springs to mind even to this very day... A great role model and I wish her eternal health and happiness.
Such a beautiful and profound song, often overlooked. It never ceases to amaze me how it manages to release that caged bird, that long held breath, so deep within me. Thank you for sharing your art, your self, your ability to connect that has been with me so very long now. Thank you reader too, I truly hope you enjoy this song as much as I did. Be well.
Word.
A lot of people have wondered what the line "How bout them transparent dangling carrots" is about. Consider the common idiom "carrot and stick", where a dangling carrot is a motivation or an incentive to do something. Something transparent is obvious or clear. So a "transparent dangling carrot" is an invisible motivation in life that we're all obviously using as crutches to reach the lofty goals and imaginary measures of success that society makes us pressure ourselves to reach ("SOME day I'll have my dream house/job/relationship"). But we do it anyway because that's how we get by and what the world expects. This song is about stopping all that nonsense and appreciating what you already have around you instead.
Love your interpretation
Nice. I spoke on that dangling carrot thing alot years ago but people didnt. Get it. Money is one of those. Put in place to get you to do for others.
No shit sherlock..thats the most obvious metaphor in the song..the easiest one to interpret...now dissect the rest of the lyrics genius..
@@beakycole9211 yeah especially the thank you terror one in this day and age of the real thing.
Omg I always thought she was talking diamonds lol.
I JUST grasped this at 38 and she wrote it when she was 23. She is an oracle.
Songs like that should be fully restarted in media's every 25 years so that our kids and kids of our kids would experience beauty of music of our times.
Its up to the old to teach the young which ones arent liars 🤯

There's still good music coming out and there always will be. But you are correct in saying that we need to pass things on. I'm 51 and I am enjoying passing things onto my grandchildren. ❤
07 liner listening these bops
Her outstanding music aside, I'll always respect her for making her mark, then retreating back to being the normal person that I'm glad she was. She's doing the nostalgia tours now , but had a quiet life. Like Kate Bush. Quality😊
This song is a prayer for me. I listen to it everyday. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Helle how are you
Me too
This song heals. Gratitude is a very high vibration and level of consciousness. Amazing, Alanis!
shes naked ...

Beautiful comment!!!
I remember when this first came out (yes, I'm old lol) and she talked about how she was in India and suffered a really terrible bout of "Delhi Belly" that actually put her life at risk. She mentioned how the feeling of vulnerability at being under the care of strangers, when she felt at her weakest, physically, mentally and spiritually, really resonated with her and inspired her to write this song.
It's about how when you are at your most vulnerable you can often see the true beauty of humanity as they reach out to help you.... It's a beautiful message that she managed to put into melody and words in this song. Thankyou Alanis. 🙏♥️🌍
This song is helping me with my sobriety in 2025 ❤️🙏
One of the most talented people in the world. Did you know that she writes very very fast, sometimes songs like this in under half an hour! amazing and the best since Joni
Ron Wylie sheis like a bu t full. Butt ty fi i tbink she is my heart
After all these years, I still can't explain what it is about this song
that captivates me...beautiful beyond any words I have.
The older I get, the more grateful I am to have had this woman and her messages to look up to. Alanis deserved so much better feedback and recognition for this video and for her work. I'm happy she is being rediscovered by so many people.
i agree.
Exactly. She's really underrated.
She touched my heart
the one and only voice...thank you alanis for your gift❣❣❣❣❣
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
These words still get me every. single. time.
Yes! I love that part too! 😍

What a special human she is...the energy!
After being so tired, and so disillusioned for so long, now I'm open and free, light as a feather, with nothing but love to give.
That's really great. I hope you share positivity in your community. Stay positive. All the best to you!
way to go buddy ✌😎
I felt that
One of the greatest songs of all time... The killer vocals stir every part of your soul
I remember a period when I was in a very sad, tiring and masochistic mood, for many reasons. This song gave me a great sense of relief and hope. Thank you, Alanis.
Absolutely the same to me in 1998 December
🤎🥰
I love how Alanis stays pure to herself and doesn't necessarily go with the trends. She's such a beautiful soul and mind. I would do anything to get her yo release a new album.😭 She's the most amazing singer yet!
She dug me out of the lowest point of my life today.
