New Alanis!
Filed under: Canadialand > Alanis MorissetteA few months ago, there was a video floating around of Alanis Morissette's that she made for her song Underneath, which was initially made to be screened at a film festival.
Well, the Canadian singer has recorded a new vid for the song, the single off her forthcoming album, and its much different than the original clip.
CLICK HERE to check out the just-release version of the Underneath video!

The guy in the video looks like her ex Ryan
Alanis can do not wrong in my books! Great video, great song, can't wait for the album. I am soooooo girl-crushing on her!
I like her original way better.. It suited the song more… This one looks sooo amatuer..

The buzz surrounding Alanis may have wained, but her uniqueness and brilliance hasn't.
Its been a long time coming, but dare I say, its been worth the wait.
This album has everything. From the political "Citizen of the planet" and "Underneath" (the records lead single) to the heavy "Versions of Violence" and the broody yet jaw dropping "Tapes". "Torch" is tear jerking, as we listen to Alanis recall the things she misses the most about her ex. Where "Not As We" is a calling to 'begin again'. "Straitjacket" is utterly fantastic as Alanis lets her anger bubbles over once again. "Moratorium" is dark and intriguing and then erupts towards the end with one of the greatest instrumentals Alanis and her band have ever produced. "Giggling Again For No Reason" and "Incomplete" will melt your heart and lift your spirits, bringing this album to a stunning climax.
"Flavors Of Entanglement" will inspire and resonate with millions as Alanis struggles with pain, loss and suffering and comes out the other end smiling. Sheer brilliance! Buy it!
Rating: 5 out of 5
totally love it - Alanis is so smart and talented
Love it. Love her. Thanks Perez!
Alanis being Alanis: random and weird.
She's a true artist! Luv her.
…"kill the cows right here they're underneath"???? Is it me? I can't understand the chorus….I like the song…don't get me wrong….All them vowels….anyone have the lyrics printed out?
she is for sure great singer - better than some untalented ho's these days (aka a bimbo blonde Hollywood actress)
Look at us in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues
There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.
Look at us form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us being cruel kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block
There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

How I’ve spun my wheels with carts before my horse
When shine on the outside springs from the root
Spotlight on these seeds of nucleus reasons
Core, born into form, starts in our livingroom
There is no difference in what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
OOPS - THERE'S MORE!!
How I’ve spun my wheels
With carts before my horse
And shine on the outside springs from gloom
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
And score bourne into corn, stretching my limit
There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.
I couldn't agree more…
EMMA…thank you!!!! I may try ear candling!!!
I couldn't agree more…with her message
Re: snokisanidiot – man i used to love that chick! What happened?
Anyone that disagrees w/ this not being good just isn't on that level…like whoever said if its not ohhhhhh yea baby baby don'tchaa blah,blah,blah that their singing its not good.Alanis is very intelligent,very deep and i think she rocks!
Emma… a lot of your lyrics are wrong.. look em up before posting…
how about the dude in the vid that looks like ryan her x, thats now with scar. creepy stalker shit to release that type of video right when he gets engaged to scarjo. jus sayin.
Re: emmas Mama –
WRONG LYRICS– some corrections
"Look at us MICRO kids with both our hearts blocked"
"doesn't show up as bigger SYMPTOMS out there.."
"key to the cause right here.. OUR underneath.."
"When shine on the outside springs from THE ROOT.."
"This CORE born into FORM STARTS IN MY LIVING ROOM"
woohoo!
SHE NEEDS SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH, THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE 2 LAST ALBUMS THAT WERE A DISASTER, IM A HUGE FAN BUT SHE NEEDS A REAL COMEBACK, SHE NEEDS TO BE OUT OF MADONNA´S RECORD COMPANY AND NEED A SONG LIKE UNINVITED .
OMG - she looks stunning! It must have been the kiss from SJP!!
Can I have a stylist pleazzzzzzze GOD??!!!
Ok yea yea it sucked. Didn't anyone notice how freakin' different she looked? Before it was all about the music but dare I say she actually looked good in this video. Am I the only one who finds that weird?
sucks! only because it's the same shit she has already sung about and we already have memorized the same songs! Try something new A M…I know you're capable…
so fucking over her
Alanis Morissette has like 7 albums I wouldn't call her a one timer and I love the new song, I have already pre-ordered the album. Also, her music is so much better than the shit thats on the radio today. Only in America can people get away with being talentless, this lifestyle of the rich and famous bullshit. People are getting more fucking stupid by the moment. I believe that for every dumb fuck in the world a starving child in Africa or Cambodia should recieve 100,000 dollars.
she looks stunning in the video! going around without makeup and looking aged does not agree with her, she should keep this up! image is important, no matter how angsty your lyrics are
Chills. Wasn't a huge fan of the song until right now. She looks amazing in the "Avril" look… which, essentially is the Alanis look 10+ years ago. Love her.
Beautiful!
i heart alanis!
Love Alanis, I wish that this kind of music was hip again.
We need more Alanis in the music world… welcome back!
love it! thanks for posting perez!
alanis is awesome,sound very great,can't wait 4 her new album,
another songs leaded from the album also amazing,& more electronica!!
LUUUUUUUUUUURVE IT!!!
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER LIVE IN AMSTERDAM!!! WHOOHOOO
I love it!!!! I amy buy her cd now!
Amazing! This is really a comeback!
love it!
Love you Alanis - always will!
Well done!
The song is really good. Alanis rocks. Elle fait vraiment de la bonne musique qui vaut la peine d'être entendue. Bravo!!!
Love it really. Her music and lyrics actually have meaning.
Alanis needs to stick writing about relationships gone wrong and stay out of world events.
The video is terrible.
I am hugely disappointed because she is great. She will get back in the groove. She is too good to be wasted like this.
Re: STUPID DIKE WHORE CUNT – Was it 9 inches? I don't remember that part.
LOVE IT…….LOVE HER!
Re: moratorium – Wow….you should work for a record company. Or Rolling Stone. What a great review. Sincerely.
I didn't like this piece but …..it sounds like the rest is pretty good. I hope you are right ,otherwise you have just put a lot of money in Alanis's pocket for no good reason.
She is truly amazing and her music is much to meaningful and intelligent for most of the morons that comment on this site. Glad to see so many Alanis fans who appreciate true talent. Not bubble gum disco/techno pop like Britney and so many others. She's so in tune with todays women (over 18) and the things we all go through. I loved the angst of Jagged Little Pill and it was hard to swallow the new image and music she came out with a few years back when she finally got "happy". But I learned to love the new Alanis, her new look & outlook, her beauty, her voice is incredible, shes an amazing person and an amazing musician. Thank you Alanis for bringing us more of your wonderful talent and soul.
Re: emmas Mama – Thanks for providing the lyrics because I couldn't even listen to the piece in its entirety.
It sounds like Alanis needs to get out of the therapists office.
In fact take a therapy break…..along with whatever vitamins she is on.
Take a bite out of real life and she will be back with a vengeance.
instead of bashing ryan, looks like she's killing him with kindness and the good memories … burn!
She made a really good video for a really good song. I hope she tours Canada properly again.
Beautiful song, beautiful lady.
I think everything that Alanis does is brizzilliant!! Fo shizzle my nizzle! Love ya Alanis
Please come back to WA
I really like this song and I can't wait for her album to come out!!!
Love it!!!
The swimming pool video was way better.
Sorry guys! I copied and pasted the lyrics that I found on the Internet…looks like some of the words may be wrong…:(
I like it! Alanis is a true musician. She composes her own music and she can sing. I can't stand these actresses who think they can sing. Scarlett can't even carry a tune.
can't understand what she is singing…
Love it!
alanis is still obviously in love with ryan reynolds…. the man in the video even looked alot like him. artistic choice? she is from vancouver, and very much a hippy. she fills her time with humanitarian activities, but what lies underneath is a broken heart, with all the lies she told herself after her breakup. I loved it.
So, how we treat the world is a reflection of how we treat ourselves? Or, save some compassion for yourself? Or, don't focus on the negative? Or, don't forget to live? Or, let the love in? I liked it and I guess each person will get something out of it. So, it is art. But I am curious of her original intent. I guess I should look at the lyrics more closely.
It's great. Ryan Reynolds should dump the whiney pseudo singer and go back to the real deal.
I LOVE IT! I Love Alanis. Not to mention I'm going through a break-up right now and this whole "Underneath" has really opened my eyes.
Love you Alanis!
Nice boob job ! The titty fairy has visited Alanis
Is it just me or does that guy look like Ryan Reynolds
Re: me –
your quote: HER SONG WAS STATING HOW WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART WILL REFLECT ONTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND YOU DONT HAVE TO DRESS URSELF UP IN A CERTAIN WAY OR COVER URSELF UP IN A WAY TO PROVE A POINT BUT IT WILL REFLECT OUT NATURALLY IF YOUR HEART POSSESSES IT ALREADY.
Damn straight~!
And all of you complaining about her not being angry, so what? She's evolved, man, and obviously knows how to write about her experiences and express herself.
What do YOU have to say about saving our earth?
i think she looks crazy pretty
the song is good too
she is AMAZING>>>>>> pls call your local radio stations and demand they play this track. lets get alanis back into the top 10– USA is all about f*cking rap - this is true music.
call your radio stations and vote on vh1 and mtv.
make a difference.
Eh,nothing new to the conversation.
Just 'blah' to me.
Re: Kim – I fuckin agree, looks quite like him!
Umm… Nice Ryan look-a-like
Re: STUPID DIKE WHORE CUNT – why dont you grow up! Its very sad that you wrote this and think ur cool ….ur not ! u sound like an asshole!
LOVE ALANIS!!!
Amazing!!!
Come back to HALIFAX!!!
We love, love, love you
XOK
LOVE Alanis.
I love you alanis. This is the worst song off the new album to choose as a first single, but like you ever cared what people thought! I can't wait for the new album at the begining of next month!! You rock
ALANIS FRO PRESIDENT
WE LOVE U SO MUCH
GREETINGS FROM TUSCANY
LOVE the video. Welcome back alanis
one-timer? oh please. you rhianna lovers need to start studying some music. Alanis never changed her musical style, and she has at least 10 hits and her career is a very long-lasting one. me and a few million people out there hope it continues this way, because she's wonderful.
a little "avril-lavigny" with that straight hair on that room full of crap on the walls, though.
but i love alanis anyway.
AWESOME song and video! I love Alanis!
ALANIS IS AN ABSOLUTE GODDESS*******************
I THINK SHE IS AN OLD SOUL
LOVE LOVE LOVE it and LOVE LOVE LOVE her! If you can't appreciate Alanis music, it's because you don't understand it, therefore you are an idiot.
Her music was sooo much better when she first came out. I dug the biiter bitch attitutde then. Now, she has gone soft and the music has lost it's heart and intensity. Love sucks!
Alanis is looking hot! Is it just me or does she get better looking with age!? Love her new song! Seems like the video is kinda about Global Warming to some degree?
I LOVE ALANIS………… SHE IS THE GRATEST SONGWRITER SHE HAS MIND CULTURE FEELING……….SHE IS MY IDOL…….. WHAT REPRESENTS THIS VIDEO AND THIS SONG IS AMAZING.
THIS WORLD IS FUCKING FULL OF HATE AND IGNORANCE. GIVE A LITLLE OF LOVE AND HUMILITY…………………..
She came into my job yesterday and was dancing around having a good time. She seemed really nice and joked at my corny jokes.
What is the video about????? … did I just read that in a post?? What a fuckin IDIOT!!!
Great video, great lyrics … her vocals are classic Alanis … but it's she's making a valid point. Be the change you wish to see in the world!
If you don't get it … well then their is a reason to worry.
woah
like total awesomeness
shes always impressiveslly beautufully creative
