The 1998 song Alanis Morissette wants to be remembered for: “It works every time”

The 1998 song Alanis Morissette wants to be remembered for: “It works every time”Some of my earliest and most cherished musical memories are of my mum singing along, often at the top of her lungs and always completely in the moment, to Alanis Morissette and her seminal 1995 album Jagged Little Pill. To hear my mum singing those songs again, with Alanis Morissette singing them herself not far away from us on the stage, will be a memory that I treasure forever. So ‘Thank U’ was written from a place of stillness, and that song captures the best possible version of me. If I want to recapture that moment, I play the song, and it works every time.” Thankfully, she did come back out and play ‘Thank U’ in the encore and, of course, it worked as well as ever.
