Uh, welp, to Rolling Stone and other commentators, *I think she's edgy AF.* Now more than ever, actually. Who else has the guts to show the mess and complication of being a parent while also trying to stay a person? Who else is willing to put aside their ego and show that level of vulnerability and not matching some manufactured "ideal" of what a (female) performer is supposed to be? This is absolutely next level. Alanis is and always has been incredibly raw, truthful, authentic, and present, and that's what we show up for. ❤

Alanis, thank you for this gift. Ablaze was the last thing my mother and I shared together prior to her death in NOV 2020. Ours was a strained relationship for many years and my mother saw the Tonight Show performance, prompting her to mention it in one of our rare conversations (she had grown very ill in her final years and 1000 miles separated us, plus COVID). I had just purchased the brilliant "Such Pretty Forks..." album and our mutual fondness for the poignant lyrics that capture the unique bond between mother and child drew us closer than we had been for too long. In the conversations, prompted by the poetry of this song, she shared for the first time in too many years that she loved me, and I shared the same with her. A few months later I visited in person and we shared what turned out to be her final meal together; she died a few days later. Thank you Alanis for the gift of this song, a treasure which was the catalyst to reunite mother and child-the perfect tribute to a perfect so. God bless you and your beautiful family!

I was just thinking that, how amazing it would have been to hear something like this instead of cutdowns over our mistakes and questions

It was year 1999 and I was visiting Amsterdam and was looking around at a music store.. Suddenly, a familiar face stood not too far from me browsing the stacks of cds. It felt really strange, I was alone in a foreign land but this face seemed uncannily familiar..i mustered up my courage and approached this person. When I was about an arms length away from this person, I said under my breathe "Alanis!" it's really her in her trademark jet black longhair in a loose ponytail and ethnic clothing. She turned and gave me a smile and wave a little. I returned her smile with a hi and walked out of the store beaming. I didn't want to intrude her alone time. The next day on a boat ride along the rivers, I saw a huge poster bearing Alanis photo in concert. And that cemented that I've met one of my fav singer/musician face to face. A very happy day it was.

I wonder what Alanis thinks when (and if) she reads these comments about her music!! So many thoughtful, thought provoking, emotional words, that SHE captured with her music in our lives, that she knows nothing about. Memories, proms, graduations, teen life, new babies, death. I cannot imagine doing this for millions of people I do not know with my words and my voice?! This is truly powerful!!

I’ve rarely seen someone stand in motherhood in such an all-encompassing way as Alanis does. It’s really moving, because she’s also so sincere about it. Motherhood can be a miracle, sure, but it’s also sometimes a slog, and a battle, and a thing that billions of individuals have experienced before you. And of course, the fact that she proclaims her mission statement as being keeping that fire in her children’s eyes ablaze, beyond any ego-driven wishes she might have for them is such a commendable, powerful sentiment. I personally think you should only start a family if it’s fueled by that selfless desire.

While I am a 24 year old gay male who (obviously) did not get to experience Alanis during the 90s, I had discovered her late in 2021 and have really connected with her and her music during this entire year. Jagged Little Pill and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie have been played EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Of course, I listen to her other albums (I’ve been listening to Unplugged and Under Rug Swept as of recently and will continue to grown with her music) but for where I’m at in my life, those albums has been helping me get through, what I consider, the upcoming quarter life crisis. With all of the turmoil, angst, and lack of control or guidance with my life and myself, Alanis has been keeping me at peace. Thank you, Alanis. Thank you for helping me get through a really tough time.

I love you so much. From the very beginning of Alanis' career you know exactly where she is in life because she writes from the heart. You can see how much enjoyment and happiness she gets from being a wife and a mom and I'm so happy for her. I wish you it lasts forever because you are truly one special human.

In fact, I think most parents identify with her words. I sure do, and since I'm male, and I identify with her words as well, I used parents. I am a protector of my kids, and my job is to teach them to thrive, build, fight, and grow, and to fend off the bullshit of this world. Most importantly to step on or over others that try to limit them. To be financially well off by 30 years old using the power of the stock market. etc. etc. etc. I'm not a millennial, and therefore I don't give a crap about terminology and the "correctness" of language.

Just tears 😭😭

Alanis. I've come back to this song, it hits different now, loved it whan it came out, kids are now, in or heading into their teens, and tears are streaming. The conflicts with teens are huge in their eyes and they pull away and think the world and their parents are against them. Will have my girl to relax in a quiet space, headphones on, and ask her to let the words of this song permeate her mind. To let her know when my words fail her that you say it so eloquently... that she is beyond loved, that I am always there to pick up the pieces of her troubles. Thank you for your lyrical mastery.

Alanis should be a coach for other mothers.. she has so much knowledge and wisdom..

Speaking from experience, songs like this are very important for folk whose parents decided their mission was to abuse and/or neglect the light out of their children's eyes. Songs like this provide a frame of reference for how pure and magical a healthy parent-child bond can be.

I hope you continue to find your own healing, and also remember that you have the power to parent yourself now the way you wish you'd have been parented. I wish you had a better experience as a child, and I hope you take the lyrics of this song (or anything else that feels healing) and apply them to your own inner child and know that now you can keep the light in your own eyes ablaze.

This album is a rare one that has no skips. I will never understand why it's not being praised more. Its truly a remarkable album. One of the best of 2020 in my opinion.

It lands where it needs to, maybe? I don't see lack of praise in a larger sense as a failure if what it comes to do (love, celebrate, teach, heal, etc.) gets done. 😊 Jagged Little Pill legit saved my life. And this release nourishes my soul to see her so in bliss. (I agree with your assessment re Best in 2020!)

Its not a commercial radio friendly album. Nowadays people want things that is more danceble or get easily in the head (Im not judging people tastes) and Alanis is one of the few artists that make music for her fans and not just for the success (bvious she does care about the sells, after all she did spend money making the album) Alanis and Nelly Furtado are the few that i really enjoy with time. Specially because they did taste the Fame, Huge Success and yet, they choose to make their own identity in the songs, instead of just hits

The Rolling Stone review of this album was "bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, she's not as edgy as she was 25 years ago." That was disappointing. who is supposed to be exactly the same as they were 25 years ago?! I think good art is measured by whether it makes you feel something. This album definitely made me feel and I think Alanis Morissette and this album are remarkable.

Critics' review is such a nonsense. I don't get it why some people would even read them in the first place. I'm pretty sure Alanis herself has said something in that sense at some point along the way. I mean, art is something so personal and subjective, so how can a critic judge whether it's good or not. It doesn't make any sense. I couldn't care less about what they say. I remember this one interview where the guy asked her what were her guilty pleasures and she said chocolate and the guy went on to tell her that that's not really guilty to which she responded "I guess it's not guilty. Shopping? Is that guilty? I love that I'm asking you what I should feel guilty for. Should I feel guilty for that?" [Laughs]

I don't think she's underrated at all, I mean, she's conquered the whole world's charts since the 90's. She's been incredibly successful. And she deserves it.

What a great tune....If you dont have Family....it can be rough out there. Moms n Dads are the most important of All.....the lil Peeps will soon be the Leaders!!!....TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL...(Love helps). ..Keep it ☝ ALANIS!.....

While a lot of artists go down the path of drugs and madness, they get lost along the way, forgetting who they once were or who they are... Alanis took the course of life... she stayed on top this whole time, raising a family with her husband, living a full and enlightened life and being more creative every day. In addition to the immense talent of telling stories and moving the public with his charisma and joy of living. LOVE YOU, AM !!!

Wow. Adding her brilliant voice to the era of rising consciousness, showing tremendous growth from our angry times of 25 years ago. I'm so heartened by this. Thank U so much Alanis.

I'm crying right now. Being a mother changes everything. Such a deep emotional song. I love it. Way to come back Alanis. Jagged little pill was one of the best albums I've ever owned.

This Woman makes me proud to be Canadian. Even though Trudeau takes that pride away. Our MISSION is to keep the light in their eyes ablaze. LOVE it.

This is one of her best albums. An album full of great singles (like the old days)

Perfect song describing motherhood. Loved her all through my teens and early twenties. Perfect evolution of an artist.

The Canada gave me Alanis and Avril, I'm Brazilian I grew up loving the English language because of these two women

I notice you sing the “to my girl” verse twice. I like to think one is to your daughter and one is to your inner child.

I’m not a parent and I’m never going to be, but the song is so lovely and sweet and heartfelt and it just made me cry.

Just love how casual she carried herself she's a legend and always will be a legend, seen her in Manchester last month unbelievable

I was hesitant to watch this, the 2020 version of Alanis, fearful that today she is no longer the Alanis I loved so much from years gone by. Well, damn, she is still all that! She’s a pleasure to listen to, and still has that amazing and beautiful smile.

The Library Nest is indeed wisdom Alanis. There are a lot of sensible people on the planet which have built libraries for their families. Always wisdom to take in knowledge. Diversificiation could be a key, as a wide viewpoint leads to an open mind.

Wtf do critics want??? Alanis has kept her unmistakable voice for more than 25 years (that alone is rare and precious). She writes about her life and her feelings - just as she did when she was 21 and released "Jagged little pill" and whatever hurts or enjoys her heart. Just as she did in 1995. Ablaze is not in the top 20 of my fav. songs of her but who cares? ...screw the critics. Alanis is fantastic and a well deserved icon female voice & artist.

What a woman. What a person. One in millions. Ive always thought she is the essence of woman kind. Thanks Al

I remember buying your 1st album JAGGED LITTLE PILL. Wow, your a brilliant singer then and now. I just feel a difference. What a change, what a strong woman you are! All my best to you!!!!

What a beautiful song. If you're a parent wow this hits so hard and so true.

Such refreshing imagery for many moms. Stay beautiful! ❤️ a therapist and mom

She's just and incredible lyricist, the way she plays with the metric is so crazy. And girl, how come the voice is just the same? Luv from Brazil!

Dad of four and going to be a grandpa for the first time in a few weeks. Watching my oldest son grow and now he's going to be a dad. I'll be 53 in easter and thinking of them while listening to this... tears if immense joy!

As soon as she sang "to my boy" I lost it, gorgeous!

I have loved this woman since day 1 in the 90’s. She still blows my mind how she can so precisely verbalize what we all feel (as women). And how does this brilliant soul memorize all her words and notes and cues for her plethora of songs and sounds?🤯. Love this forever amazing woman and thank you for sharing your beautiful family❤️

9 months later and here I am again! A grandma, a mamma, ups and downs....but life is a miracle. Lucky if we see it.

...I admire her! From the rebel, desperate lover, activist and thought changer to the apparent housewife or grandmother. The course of values ​​in life. Your music makes me happy and tells me how priorities can change in the course of a person's life and yet cannot be viewed negatively. Ms. Morissette: It's good that you are here right now! Your messages are awesome!

Good god we were ready for this album.
