    LYRICS
    All these relief-givers
    The needle sure revs in the red
    Chemicals like hugs from inside
    they feel like my best friend
    You think me a coward but I am a warrior
    With many voices in my head
    When I looked around and I reached out
    I saw no alternative
    God rest, God rest our souls
    And this substance is the only comfort I know
    He's been pushing for a while
    Can we cut this man some slack
    Let him lie down, let him lie down
    We are a country desperate for the embryonic
    I'm cold and I'm hungry and
    I yearn for a hand on my forehead
    You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy
    "She's got it as good as it gets"
    This misunderstanding's the line between living
    or being the walking dead
    And God rest, please rest our souls
    And the more I take, the less comfort I know
    She's been pushing for a while
    Can we cut this woman slack
    Let her lie down, let her lie down
    The more that you hurl at me
    The more I will curl up in my bed
    where's the humanity?
    Aren't we all hovering around the same end?
    Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises
    that aren't real enough to be kept
    You wish me a speedy recovery
    But when you turn I plumb the depths
    And God rest, God please rest our souls
    This is the surest exit I have known
    We've been hurting for a while
    Can we cut ourselves some slack
    Let us lie down, let us lie down
    Let us lie down, let me lie down
    #AlanisMorissette #Rest #MentalHealthAwareness

    I've connected with Alanis for too long now to imagine myself without her words being a part of me. I don't know how she manages to get inside me over and over and give me the words to finally express how I feel. I'm broken but I'm trying to heal and that requires rest... Love and rest and pauses to all of you!

I sang, I danced, I smiled my ass off, and I got very emotional- in a good way. Afterwards my mom got in the car with me and she said she was relieved to finally see me truly happy. I cried as soon as I got home.

      @@brianfrk Hola Brian! Perdona que no te había podido responder antes. Me alegro de que haya mucho de que haya gente como tú, de mi edad, y de habla hispana, que apreciemos tanto el trabajo de la maravillosa Alanis. Incluido el que hace hoy en día! Aquí en España (y en Europa en general) mucha gente cree que Alanis ya no hace música o simplemente ya ni se acuerda de ella. Porque ya suena muy poco en las radios musicales y, si algo suena, son sus primeros éxitos de los '90 y principios de los 2000'. Hasta "Everything" como mucho! Es una pena que aquí ya solo sus fans incondicionales desde siempre la sigamos y vayamos a sus conciertos. El resto de la gente casi ni se entera!! Yo voy a ir a verla en concierto en noviembre a Madrid y a Barcelona (dentro de su gira europea de este otoño para celebrar el aniversario de Jagged Little Pill), y de todos mis amigos y la gente que conozco NADIE sabía siquiera que Alanis venía a Europa. Es una pena la verdad!!! La música mainstream es una mierda y le joroba la cabeza a la gente. Así que Brian, me alegro que a pesar de que somos aún "bastante" jóvenes, seguimos a Alanis y su trabajo incondicionalmente!! ;-) Por la manera de escribir tu mensaje y la expresión "dar bola" me imagino que eres argentino o uruguayo. A mí me encanta Argentina, he estado varias veces de turismo (antes de la pandemia global, obviamente) y me quedé enamorado de tu país. Es HERMOSO y sois una gente genial!!! Uruguay todavía no lo conozco pero espero ir pronto al Cono Sur porque me encanta todo de ahí!!!
      Por lo que se refiere a la música con la que "descubriste" a Alanis, estoy de acuerdo contigo en que "You Owe Me Nothing In Return" es una canción increíble, y una filosofía de vida como tantas y tantas grandes canciones de Alanis!! Yo reconozco que las canciones que más me encantan de ella son quizás algunas de las menos conocidas (para los que no son fanáticos de Alanis como tú y yo). De hecho, aún recuerdo las tres canciones que más me prendaron de ella cuando era más joven (y aún a día de hoy me llegan profundo): "That I Would Be Good" (especialmente la interpretación de MTV Unplugged), "Unsent" y "Baba" (de Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie) y "No Pressure Over Capuccino" que nunca la editó en un álbum de estudio pero que es genial y siempre me identifiqué mucho (Alanis se la escribió a su hermano gemelo).
      Un abrazo grande Brian!!! :) Un placer escribirme contigo, y espero que estés bien!! Abrazo, hermano
