Alanis Mode

The album 'Jagged Little Pill' was released in 1995, and won a Grammy in 1996, the year when I first came here looking all clueless and tourist-ey. It was one of the few cassette tapes we had brought from home (together with Ultraelectromagneticpop, the only other one I can remember). Back then it seemed to me that, not only were we playing Alanis at home, but everywhere we went I could hear her voice too. When I got home, whenever I heard a song from 'Jagged Little Pill', I always remembered New York.

By the way, for all those of you who are clueless out there, Alanis is engaged to *sigh* Ryan Reynolds.... Sana si Alanis nalang ako. HAHAHAHA!

HEAD OVER FEET

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
