that I would be loved even when I numb myself that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed

Artist- Alanis Morrisette
Song of the day- That I would be good

So I got a random text from one of my friends the other day asking what I thought of Alanis Morrisette. I tend to get random questions like this cuz I've fooled people into thinking I'm a music expert, though I think I'd likely fall more under the terms of crazed fan in the majority of cases. And though it might have been a decade since I last thought about Alanis and her jagged pills, this song immediatly popped into my mind and I knew my answer would always be "yes" to Alanis Morrisette. I read in a Lady Gaga interview that she said music should entertain and not be a bunch of therapy BS where you write about your own issues set to music. But that's like my favorite kind of music cause you really feel where that person is even if it's messy or whiny, luckily when it's set to music in just the right way it is neither of those things and if it's really great it becomes less about that person and all about what you are feeling, like the song was meant for you. And Morrisette I think was one of the first woman song writers who could really do that well. I love this song because think the main basic want in life is to love but also that need to be loved in return, no matter what and how everyday most of us can make a list of why we shouldn't but how desperate we are for it anyway. So Mo, here's why you should like Alanis Morrisette and all her girlie drama. Plus she plays the flute at the end!



that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you
