Concerts Galore
Went to another concert the other day in Phili with my sister.
Alanis Morissette and The Barenaked Ladies were preforming.
The Barenaked Ladies were hilarious! They were just full of energy and their songs are always fun, so I of course enjoyed them.
Alanis, however, was the most amazing live performer I have ever seen in my life. She sang every single song off her Jagged Little Pill cd and almost every song off her new So-Called Chaos.
You would think after Jagged Little Pill had been out for as long as it has she would be tired of preforming them. She wasn't at all. You could see in her eyes that she still feels every word of every song. It was insane. She was so happy to sing Head Over Feet. She was so sad singing Mary Jane. Either she is an awesome actress, or she still genuinly feels each of her songs. I have never before seen a show as emotional and liberating as her show.
Mary Jane, a song that means a lot to me in my personal life, was sung so well and so emotionally by her live, that I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Maybe it's just because I'm a woman and she's a woman and she speeks to women, but I could not stop myself from crying. The words, the music and her emotion brought back all these memories of when I was recovering from being anorexic myself, and she made everyone feel the music so much, I know at least a few other people had to dry their eyes after she sang.
This was single handedly the best show of my life, and I will go to any and every live show of hers I can for the rest of my life.
Seeing that show just brought back so many memories of when I was younger. It felt so liberating. Niru called it spiritual. I've never felt that way after a show before. I loved it.
Mary Jane
What´s the matter Mary Jane, had a hard day
As you place the don´t disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore
It´s a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you´re on it
I hear you´re counting sheep again Mary Jane
What´s the point of tryin´ to dream anymore
I hear you´re losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you´re losing it for
Well it´s full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There´s a few more bruises
If that´s the way
You insist on heading
Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don´t censor your tears
You´re the sweet crusader
And you´re on your way
You´re the last great innocent
And that´s why I love you
So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
Cause all that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
So keep warm my dear, keep dry
Tell me
Tell me
What´s the matter Mary Jane . . .
...and that's the song that helped me recover when I felt like I was the ugliest person on the planet and didn't want to leave my room for anyone or anything.....man those were hard times. I never told anyone about them, and I'd almost forgotten about them all....I'm happy I can remember them now, because I feel stronger now. I feel much stronger.
