Jagged Little Pill es el tercer disco de Alanis Morissette, el
primero como adulta; un disco que desde el primer momento impresionó, y
detrás del que estaba Madonna y su recién estrenado sello Maverick.Alanis no disfraza su rabia, muestra su ira tal y como la siente, con
unas letras directas y emocionantes; el rock agresivo de este disco la
convirtieron en la referencia del rock alternativo femenino de mediados
de los 90.
El disco contiene temas sensacionales, sobre todo You Oughta Know e Ironic, y otros muy buenos como Hand In My Pocket y You Learn.
El disco mantuvo a Alanis en la carretera durante una gira de 18 meses
por todo el mundo, en una serie de conciertos que comenzó en pequeñas
salas en 1995 y terminó en 1996 en grandes estadios.
Las canciones del disco son historias que hablan de una mujer joven
decidida a abrirse un camino propio, a inventarse a sí misma dejando
atrás la educación de la infancia, a los amantes manipuladores, a los
insulsos compañeros de profesión, dejando atrás incluso su propia
inseguridad...
You oughta know está dedicada a un ex-novio, y en ella muestra su
rabia por el compartamiento de su ex, que rápidamente la olvidó y se
fue con otra. "Sabe ella que me dijiste que me abrazarias hasta que murieras? pues todavia estas vivo".
Hand in my pocket es un tema optimista en el que habla de sus
contrastes, de los distintos estados de ánimo en los que se encuentra a
lo largo del día.
You learn contiene un buen estribillo y una letra un tanto
filosofica. Habla de la vida, sus obstáculos de lo que hay que aprender
para no volver a meter la pata. "Ries y aprendes, rezas y aprendes, vives y aprendes...".
Ironic es el tema más recordado del álbum, una especie de ley de Murphy. "Es como conocer al hombre de tu vida y luego conocer a su encantadora mujer". Toda una ironía no?
Head Over Feet es una canción tranquila con cambios de ritmo en el que hay otro solo de armónica.
En 1996 el disco fue premiado con cuatro premios Gramy: Mejor álbum,
Mejor álbum de rock, Mejor interpretación femenina de rock y Mejor
canción de rock por You oughta know, y se convierte merecidamente en uno de los discos "debut" más vendedores de la historia de la música.

YOU OUGHTA KNOW
I want you to know
That I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but
The best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive
Chorus:
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bare that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well
Things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well
I thought you should know
Did you forget about me
Mister Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive
(Chorus)
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone elses back
I hope you feel it
Well can you feel it?
(Chorus 2x)
VIDEO ORIGINAL TEMA: ALL I REALY WANT. ALANIS MORISSETTE
ALL I REALLY WANT
Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
and you say, how appropriate.
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I'm fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around... all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this!?
Did yo uthink about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you olong for hte next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A sould to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no cencept of time other an it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice
