>>>> I've heard "Jagged Little Pill" "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" the one with Utopia on it. And I have a cassingle thats got a couple songs of Infat. Junkie off it and one other one where she is real mad.<<<<<Maybe this is why you perceive her as so sick. You've missed a lot of her more current growth! So Called Chaos and Feast on Scraps have lots of good stuff on them! And I think So Called Chaos is pretty upbeat too, so you might like it a lot. I don't have the CDs with me right now, but in a couple of days when I'm back home, I'd be happy to upload them to you.
>>>> I worry about her being all sweetness and light one minute and raging at all the guys who have victimised her the next... Though, to be fair she was more angry early on and that was the last song of her last album...
<<<<< When you think about the amount of time between albums, I'm not sure it's really a one minute then the next kind of thing. I've got some stuff on my computer at home where she talks about why she wrote many of her songs and things like that. I think she does a good job of explaining the changes and what spurred her growth along. I'll upload that for you too!
>>>>> But now I worry about her contribution, her role in the constant unjustices. I think some of that comes out unwittingly in her songs. Even though its toned down since "Jagged Little Pill"<<<<< She did an interview on 20/20 last month where she talked about this. How she's learned a lot more about responsibility taking and how she's no longer riding the wave of emotions like she was when she was 19 and wrote Jagged Little Pill. Again, I can upload this too! LOL. If you want Alanis stuff, I'm a person who can hook you up!
