Song Rec Of The Week

[crystalsc]

This is kind of a personal-feeling selection. My brother Jon loved this song. It's sad (but beautiful) as it's really written from the pov of someone with very low self-worth and a lot of emotional issues which Alanis Morissette has admitted to struggling with. I can see why my brother identified with the song. While he hid it often behind a joking attitude, he didn't really think very highly of himself. And he had experienced worse thing than he ever should have had to. So sad because he was a great man. ♥

TAPES BY ALANIS MORISSETTE
"I am someone easy to leave"
"Even easier to forget"
a voice, if inaccurate
Again: "I'm the one they all run from"
diatribes of clouded sun
someone help me find the pause button

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

"I'm too exhausting to be loved"
"a volatile chemical"
"best to quarantine and cut off"

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

"I'm but thorn in your sweet side"
"You are better off without me"
"It'd be best to leave at once"

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
