Alanis Morissette war mit Mitte der 90er ein Begriff, vor allem durch ihren Hit Ironic. Doch dann wurde es sehr ruhig, dabei ist die Stimme doch außergewöhnlich.
Jetzt hörte ich des öfteren im radio einen Song und dachte mir, dass mir die Stimme doch bekannt vorkommt. Und tatsächlich meldet sich Alanis Morissette zurück und liefert wieder mal einen richtigen Ohrwurm ab.

Songtext:

Reasons I Drink – Alanis Morissette

These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I’m fine
Even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember
Since I was single digits

Now
Even though I’ve been busted
I don’t know where to draw the line
‚Cause that groove has gotten so deep

And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do

Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite

And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply
When I’m not medicated
And so that’s it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits
To survive this sick industry

Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do

Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite

And these are the reasons I don’t even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can’t even see straight, and
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would function without it

Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more rip
I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit
