Old Dogs...

There, my favourite Alanis Morissette album - Alanis Unplugged.

My original copy, I know where it is. I know who it's with. And I'm not going back there. So I moved on and confiscated a lot of things when S moved out of 19-B-4.

This album was one of it. It was a scratched copy of the ciplak one. But I gasak it anyway.

And I have this album in brick. I have this album in PC. And most of the time I find myself clicking back on this album. I liked how she sounded on this album. So real. So there. So serene. So "organic". So her.

In the evenings, I find myself bringing out my brick.. and click on this album.. and get back in my Alanis-ette state all over again.

In Come Together - A Night For John Lennon's Words and Music, Alanis sang Dear Prudence. She was introduced on stage by Dustin Hoffman. I could almost tell he was introducing her because he said, "Do you realise guys, she's born in 1974?"

It was a line from her song, UR. Spiritual enlightenment for her, in SPIJ. Almost dispassionate about many things... But this album and JLP so stood out for me.

burn the books they've got too many names and psychosis
all this incriminating evidence would surely haunt me
if someone broke into my house
suits in the living room
do you realize guys I was born in 1974
we've got someone here to explain your publishing
we know how much you love to be in front of audiences
hopeful you are
schoolbound you are
naive you are
driven you are
take a trip to new york with your guardian
and your fake identification
when they said "is there something anything
you'd like to know young lady?"
you said "yes I'd like to know what kind of people
i'll be dealing with"
precocious you are
headstrong you are
terrified you are
ahead of your time you are
don't mind our staring but
we're surprised you're not in a far-gone asylum
we're surprised you didn't crack up
lord knows that we would've
we would've liked to have been there
but you keep pushing us away
resilient you are
big time you are
ruthless you are
precious you are
